"Come on, take Lingyun down, and punish a hundred rods!" The emperor was full of resentment and gritted his teeth angrily.

"Stop! …… If you want to fight, shoot me first! ”

Seeing the bloody and tragic situation when Ling Yun was abused, Princess Evergreen rushed forward like crazy, prostrated on his back desperately, and tightly protected her bloody son with her delicate body, crying heartbreakingly.

Seeing this, the execution guard hurriedly stopped, and was a little at a loss for a while. Princess Evergreen hugged Ling Yun tightly and cried.

"Mother, you ...... Why should you do this? ......" Ling Yun's heart has become a sea of sourness; His bloodless lips trembled for a few moments, and then a few words finally came out of his mouth in fits and starts.

Princess Evergreen's tears rolled down with reddish blood, and her broken voice wailed like a young beast in trouble, "Lin'er, if you really have something that is long and short, how can your mother live?" ……”

At this time, Emperor Zhao Yu walked down from the torture hall accompanied by Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling, Feng Chaoying, the head of the inner hall, and others.

Looking at the tear-jerking scene in front of him, the emperor's dark pupils were like thick ink that could not be dissolved, and he was cold and cold, and he only said nothing with a gloomy face.

"Holy Lord, the old minister begs you, let Ling Yun go this time for the time being!"

The prince of Jinling on the side couldn't stand it anymore. He "pounced" and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the emperor again and again: "Lingyun did a lot of things that violated the law of the country some time ago, and also committed many unforgivable mistakes, but many things happen for a reason, and sometimes he can't help himself!"

"No matter how angry he is, no matter how angry he is, he has to give him a chance to plead! If he really kills someone, then how can he report the many clues about the prince's case and the Lu Wenzheng incident to the saint? ”

"Bring him here."

The words of the prince of Jinling seemed to touch the emperor's mind. His eyebrows twitched unconsciously, his face changed uncertainly, and finally he spoke coldly.

Several guards responded in a panic, carefully helped Ling Yun up, and brought it to the emperor with a gentle movement.

At this time, Ling Yun was already weak under the torture of the cane, and any rough or excessive movement would become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In front of the emperor, with the prince of Jinling and Princess Changqing by their side, they didn't dare to make another mistake.

"Lingyun, I ask you, do you have any complaints about the cane just now?" The emperor's deep eyes were like an endless abyss, staring at him without blinking, and coldly spit out a few words.

Ling Yun struggled to raise his head, there was no trace of brilliance in his eyes, and his originally handsome and dustless face looked very embarrassed under the abuse of the cane.

"No, Lingyun...... The crime deserves it, and the holy punishment is deserved, Ling Yun does not dare to have it...... ...... slightest complaint" His voice trembled slightly, like a broken feather floating in the wind, ready to disperse at any moment.

"Well, it seems that you still know a little about current affairs." The emperor's expression softened slightly. Looking at the miserable and helpless appearance of the person in front of him after being devastated, a moment of trance suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of a few years ago.

That day, Ling Yun hurriedly came to the court to find Lu Wenzheng because of something urgent.

At that time, he was dressed in a light blue plain brocade and a hundred flowers bouquet official uniform, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were colorful, his eyes were black and white, and he was radiant and charming; The posture is long and vigorous, the action is light and fast, and the clothes are flying and dancing, like a jade tree in the wind.

That was the first time the emperor had seen Ling Yun.

At that time, he thought: It turns out that there are such handsome and unstained characters in the world! …… Since then, he has been extremely impressed with Ling Yun; And for a long time afterward, I will never forget that first sight.

At that time, the spirit was flying, and now it is miserable and blurred, forming a strong visual impact and a huge gap in the heart.

At that moment, he suddenly felt very sad; That sad feeling is like falling from a high place to the bottom of the valley, and the muddy water bottle is turning over the river and the sea, and there is a slight throbbing pain.

"Alas! Lingyun, why are you doing this? ......" The emperor felt a tingling pain in his throat as if something was blocked, and sighed lightly; His voice was a little hoarse.

"Actually, I've always valued you and liked you...... But you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't do so many irreparable things, and it's impossible for me to forgive you! Alas, Lingyun, you really make me feel heartbroken! ”

"The saint has a caring heart, compassion, Lingyun is grateful; Ling Yun has a negative dragon grace, which disappoints the saint......" Ling Yun lowered his head and lowered his silent eyes; The muffled voice grew weaker and weaker, filled with a sense of vulnerability.

The wind ruffled his black hair, messy and broken. With a white face, black hair, and black and white, that delicate face reveals a bit of sadness in the sun.

"But Holy Lord, do you know? Some things are helpless, and Ling Yun was really ...... Don't want to do that! But forced by the situation, Ling Yun was coerced in it, and he couldn't help himself, and step by step he became what he is now-in fact, from beginning to end, Ling Yun's heart was in the court, on the emperor's side, but ......"

He wanted to say something more, but he felt a wave of dizziness instantly hit his head without warning, and his body had involuntarily moved forward; Thanks to the guards on both sides, they quickly supported him.

"Hurry up and find the Imperial Doctor to heal him, hurry! ……”

Seeing that Ling Yun's figure suddenly collapsed and collapsed, the emperor's heart twitched uncontrollably, and his throat exploded.

Feng Chaoying, who was beside him, responded in a panic and went out in a hurry.

"Zhichao, Zhichao, you...... What's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother! ......" Princess Changqing saw her son fainting, and she was even more panicked, shaking Ling Yun's body vigorously and crying.

The situation was chaotic.

Looking at the hurried appearance of everyone, the emperor shook his head with a heavy heart, sighed, and turned around and walked out.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped and instructed the prince of Jinling beside him: "Pass the decree and settle Lingyun; Until anything is clear, I will not allow any more accidents to happen! ”

"Yes, the old minister understands." The prince of Jinling nodded understandingly.

The sunset is like wine, drunk with the sunset on the horizon. Large clouds floated in the blue sky, a blood-colored scarlet color in the setting sun.

Ling Yun was placed in a special cell. It is special because the conditions here are much better than those of ordinary cells, with tables, chairs, beds and benches, and although they are poorly furnished, they are very clean.

From the inside, the windows are bright and clean, peaceful and quiet; From the outside, it is full of armor and heavily guarded. Don't say it's a human, not even a bird can fly over.

All entry and exit of relevant personnel, such as food and medicine delivery or authorized visits, are subject to strict scrutiny; Idlers and miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter and exit, and those who violate the order have only one word: Chop!

This is the emperor's solemn will, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Lingyun, a special court prisoner.

Because Ling Yun now has a lot of evidence related to the society of the court and the fate of important ministers in the court, although the crimes and punishments he committed in the past have doomed him to death; But before all the mysteries are solved, he must live well.

As a result, the Ouchi guards guarding him were all trembling and ready to fight, patrolling outside the door non-stop twelve hours a day, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, all the guards will be considered a capital crime!

Gossip is less, just talk about Lingyun.

On that day, the imperial doctor hurriedly came, and after seeing Ling Yun's injuries and carefully bandaging and treatment, Ling Yun's physical condition had basically stabilized.

In fact, he was not in a big problem, but he had been hit hard and depressed for a long time; He was abused in public, and he was so angry that he fainted all of a sudden.

At this time, the imperial doctor had just changed the medicine for him, and was tirelessly teaching him some tedious and boring precautions.

Ling Yun listened absentmindedly, and finally got impatient, "Okay, I know all about it - I'm a little tired now, you go down first, and I'll look for you when I have something." ”

"Alas, how can young people nowadays be so impetuous, and have no patience at all! Even this eldest prince of the Hou Mansion, who has always been praised by people as indifferent and detached, is no exception......"

The imperial doctor complained in his heart, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, turned around and went out, but happened to meet Princess Evergreen at the door.

When Ling Yun saw his mother coming, a flash of astonishing brilliance immediately jumped in his originally dull eyes, and he hurriedly struggled to sit up.

I was too excited for a while, and the range of movements was a little bigger, and I accidentally pulled the wounds on my body, and there was a heart-piercing pain. He subconsciously frowned and inhaled softly.

Princess Evergreen hurriedly took two steps forward to support him, and said angrily: "What are you messing with, don't die?" Alas, you child, why are you always so reckless! ”

Ling Yun looked up and smiled softly at her.

Princess Changqing's eyes were full of worry and distress, and she said softly, "Lin'er, are your injuries better?" ”

Ling Yun nodded slightly.

"Tell me, have you forgiven me for the past?" Princess Evergreen stared straight at him, the affection in her eyes was not concealed in the slightest, and it was as turbulent as the sea.

"Actually, I've forgiven you a long time ago......" Ling Yun's affectionate eyes were like the dawn of dawn, flashing with a palpitating light.

Princess Evergreen cried with joy: "Really? ”……
