In the imperial study, Princess Evergreen came to see the emperor with trepidation.

When the emperor saw that Princess Changqing wanted to speak and stopped, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and said in a dumb voice: "Imperial aunt, if you have anything, just say it!" ”

Princess Changqing thought that the emperor had asked so, and she didn't have to beat around the bush anymore, so she just said it straight to the point. She bit her lip and whispered, "The courtiers are here to ...... Lingyun's thing came. ”

"What? Lingyun? ......" The emperor was stunned for a moment and did not react. In his impression, Princess Evergreen and Ling Yun should not be able to fight each other, but today Princess Evergreen suddenly said that she came to him for Ling Yun's matter, which made him a little confused for a while.

"I don't understand, why did the imperial aunt suddenly come to me for Lingyun's matter?"

Princess Evergreen lowered her eyebrows, her eyes were crumpled into broken shadows, and she cried: "Until now, the courtiers don't dare to hide the saint anymore - the saint, Lingyun is the long-lost son of the courtiers, Chenglin!" ……”

The emperor was a little stunned for a while, "Did the imperial aunt mean that Ling Yun, the original commander of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, is the current eldest prince of the Hou Ye Mansion, the child who was taken away by the Ge family more than thirty years ago?" ……”

Princess Evergreen's moist eyes were full of sorrow, and she nodded lightly and said, "Exactly." ”

Next, she talked about Ling Yun's legendary life experience and experience in the past.

The emperor couldn't help but sigh when he heard it; After a while, he sighed and said: "There is such a thing in the world, God, you are really good at making people......

Princess Evergreen just bowed her head and wept.

The emperor stood up, paced back and forth in the imperial study, and finally stopped and said: "No wonder the prince of Jinling has told me several times that he is always very familiar with Ling Yun's eyes, but he can't remember who he looks like for a while, it turns out to be like this!" ”

Princess Evergreen's voice was unconsciously choked, "Holy ......"

The emperor sighed for a long time, and finally came back to his senses and asked, "By the way, Imperial Aunt, did you come to me this time just to intercede for Ling Yun?" ”

Princess Changqing lowered her head and lowered her eyes: "The courtiers are not here to intercede, but to explain to the Holy Lord the reason for the events of that day. ”

"Oh?"

Princess Changqing said: "Originally, Zhichao that day, ah no-Ling Yun just went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department to bid farewell to Lu Wenzheng, and it happened that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went to the Criminal Department to find Lu Wenzheng, and I didn't want that to happen......"

Thinking that the prince's death was unknown or not, she only felt heartache, and her voice trembled and couldn't go on.

mentioned the crown prince again, the indescribable wound in the emperor's heart seemed to be torn apart again, and the irrepressible pain spread little by little from the depths of his heart. He turned his back and said with a long sigh: "Imperial Aunt, don't talk about it......"

Princess Evergreen couldn't cry and said: "Holy Lord, the courtiers have aroused your sadness again, and the courtiers deserve death......

The emperor endured his grief and said silently: "It's okay, Imperial Aunt, you continue." ”

Princess Changqing wiped her tears and said, "Although Ling Yun has some friendship with Lu Wenzheng, that is only in the past; Now that Ling Yun has left the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department for eight years, if it weren't for the fact that he had to return to the Criminal Department in order to find out the case of Cheng Qi accidentally hurting people a few days ago, he would not have had any intersection with Lu Wenzheng at all......

"What's more, that day, he went back to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department to bid farewell to Lu Wenzheng, but he happened to encounter those things...... So Holy Lord, my Lin'er, he is really innocent!

"Everyone in the world knows that the Holy One has a wise king, benevolent and wise, so the courtiers weep blood here and kowtow, begging the Holy One to know right from wrong, and be sure to give him justice!"

The emperor paused and groaned for a moment, then frowned, and sat down behind the bookcase.

"Imperial Aunt, you just have to rest assured in this matter, I will send someone to seriously investigate the ins and outs of this matter, if Ling Yun is indeed wronged, I will give him justice."

Princess Evergreen was grateful, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you so much!" ……”

The emperor said: "I just said, the imperial aunt and I don't have to be like this, let's be even." ”

Before the words were finished, Feng Chaoying had already walked in from outside with a sad expression, and reported: "Holy Lord, Lord Ding and Commander Li have urgent matters to see outside. ”

"Urgent? What's the urgency? ......" Seeing that Feng Chaoying's expression was not quite right, the emperor unconsciously throbbed in his heart, "Let them in." ”

Feng Chaoying sighed and went out.

Seeing this, Princess Changqing hurriedly stood up and said, "The Holy Lord's state affairs are busy, and the day is full of opportunities, the courtiers dare not disturb the Holy Lord anymore, and the courtiers will retire first." ”

The emperor said: "Okay. The imperial aunt has not been in the palace for so long, and the queen mother misses the imperial aunt very much, and she was still talking about it two days ago, so it is better for the imperial aunt to go to the queen mother to sit down first. ”

Princess Changqing unconsciously felt a wave of heat in her heart, and said movingly: "The courtiers thank the saint and the queen mother for their care, and the courtiers will go to the queen mother to say goodbye first." ”

As he spoke, he bowed to the emperor again, turned around and walked out the door.

At this time, Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan walked in and happened to have a face-to-face with Princess Evergreen.

There was a momentary froze on their faces, but soon they came back to their senses and hurriedly saluted Princess Evergreen with a smile on their faces.

The moment Princess Evergreen saw Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan, for some reason, an inexplicable chill hit her heart.

But in this case, there is no room for her to say more; At this time, in the face of the humble smiles of the two, she only gave a vague "oh" and passed by them.

Here, Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan walked in, knelt on the ground, and greeted the emperor.

The emperor said: "Let's be flat." The two Aiqing are so anxious to see me, I don't know what's going on? ”

Li Zhishan said: "Qiqi Sheng, a major incident happened in the prison last night: Ling Yun colluded with thieves to plot wrongdoing, set fire to the prison, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill people and escape from prison. ”

The emperor's face changed, he could hardly believe his ears, and couldn't help repeating again, "What? Lingyun murder and prison escape? Is this true? ……”

Li Zhishan said: "It's true. Last night, Yuan Chao and his subordinates Zhou Shan and Shen Hai were on duty in the prison. Suddenly, two black-clad masked assassins, a man and a woman, broke in, one of them tied up the jailers and guards in the prison, and the other threw sulfur, flames, nitrate and other fire-causing objects into the cell to set fire to the murder, and took advantage of the chaos to force the jailer Zhang Hu to open the door of the prison where Ling Yun was held and let Ling Yun go.

"Ling Yun joined forces with those two thieves, wounded many of our brothers in a frenzy, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape. Although Yuan Chao, Zhou Shan, Shen Hai and the others fought desperately, how could Lingyun and the three of them all have strong martial arts and are extremely vicious—they were finally difficult to resist, and Shen Hai, Zhang Hu and others also died in their duties......"

Speaking of which, Li Zhishan's voice was hoarse, and he was so sad that he couldn't speak.

The emperor took the case. Rao is his cultivation is like this, and he can't help but be furious, "I originally thought that Ling Yun was just involved in Lu Wenzheng's case by mistake, and it was possible that he was wronged; I didn't expect him to do such a lawless thing, I really didn't expect it! ……”

Ding Jinzhi saw that the emperor was angry, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and hurriedly added oil and vinegar to the side: "Holy Lord, how can this Lingyun be wronged? In the past, when he was in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, Lu Wenzheng regarded him as a cronie and nephew, his right-hand man; For so many years, the two have always had a close relationship - Weichen thought that Lu Wenzheng was plotting to kill the prince, and he would definitely not be able to get out of it!

"Besides, if he is really wronged, he will surely wait in the prison with peace of mind for us to verify the evidence and restore his innocence; But now he chooses to kill people and escape from prison, which can only show that he has a ghost in his heart! Therefore, Holy Lord, this Lingyun crime is extremely heinous and must be severely punished! ”

The emperor only felt a wave of angry blood instantly surging above his head. His eyebrows were raised, the corners of his eyes were red, and he said sharply: "Okay, I know!" Li Zhishan, I order you to immediately send an order down and post posting posters in all parts of the capital and all prefectures and counties in the country, drawing pictures and graphics, and Lingyun is wanted! ”

Li Zhishan hurriedly said: "Weichen has the order!" ”

"Also," the emperor tilted his head slightly, tried his best to calm the surging anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "As long as there is news that Ling Yun has been captured, I will report it immediately."

"I must ask him personally, I have always valued him and liked him, but why did he do this, and live up to my expectations of him!"

Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan's eyes flickered, and a subtle thoughtful color flashed in their eyes, and they said in a loud voice: "Weichen has the order." ”

The emperor sat down in a daze. He supported himself with his hand, thought for a moment, and then raised his head and said to the two of them: "If there is nothing else, you can retreat first!" ”

Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan chatted and hurriedly retreated.

After sending the two away, Emperor Zhao Yu tightened his eyebrows and continued to pace in the imperial study with his hands behind his back, his face still full of anger.

At the end, he suddenly remembered something, turned his face to Feng Chaoying and said, "Manager Feng, you immediately send someone over to see if Aunt Changqing is still with the Queen Mother, if she is still there, call her to see me immediately!" ”……

Princess Changqing was chatting with the Empress Dowager Wei in Cining Palace, when she suddenly heard the emperor's urgent call, she couldn't help but sink in her heart, hurriedly said goodbye to the Empress Dowager, and hurriedly followed the eunuch Feng Lin who came to summon her to see the emperor.

As soon as she entered the study, she felt that the atmosphere was wrong. peeking in, I saw the emperor sitting behind the bookcase, his face was pale, and his expression was terrifying.

Princess Evergreen trembled with fright, and after she respectfully saluted the emperor, she asked softly, "The Holy Lady summoned the courtiers to come, I don't know what to order?" ”

The emperor glanced at her angrily, turned his face to Feng Chaoying and said, "Manager Feng, you talk to her." ”

Feng Chaoying cautiously said "yes", then pondered the words and said the matter reported by Fang Cai Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan again.

When Princess Changqing heard this, she couldn't help but be so shocked that she couldn't speak.

The emperor's cold eyes swept away, revealing infinite coldness and coldness, "Imperial aunt, this is what your good son did!" I thought that he might be wronged, but I never thought that he would do such a rebellious thing, which was really disappointing to me! - Imperial Aunt, what else do you have to say now? ”……
