The next day, Gao Ziang came to the Li Mansion early. His interest was not very high, because he learned in prison last night that Wan Ning forced Zuo Linghong to drink poison was still haunting his heart. Did she really feel influenced by the palace when she did this?

He had always been afraid that Wanning would change, and even become unrecognizable. He tried his best to suppress this matter to the deepest part of his heart, not wanting to face his heart, let alone putting words like "vicious and vicious" on his Wan sister. Isn't she about to freak out?

If he is his father, he will also be full of hatred for Zuo Linghong. With Uncle Li's departure, Wanning's fate became tragic. Although she did not do this properly, she will still give her the greatest understanding.

Wan Ning didn't tell herself, maybe she didn't care if she would blame her.

How else do you want to explain to the emperor? Zuo Linghong's crime is extremely heinous, and there is a law to deal with it, how can he execute a prisoner privately?

The reason why I came to the Li Mansion so early was because I had promised Wanning before. Compared with the little discomfort in his heart, he wanted to comfort her more.

After a night's rest, Wanning looked much brighter, but Gao Ziang became heavy. As soon as he entered Wanning's room, he drooped his face. He stepped over to the round table and sat down on a stool.

In front of the dresser, Wan Ning, who had just dressed up, looked at him, this emotion was obviously wrong, and stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

He glared at Wan Ning, frowned, and said slowly, "I went to prison last night." ”

Wan Ning was stunned: "Brother, you know everything?" ”

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Wan Ning hesitated for a long time, and finally replied, "I don't want you to know that I did such a thing. After speaking, he turned around and took two steps, squatting down with his back to Brother Ziang.

It turned out that she really didn't dare, but fortunately, Wanning had the courage to admit it.

Gao Ziang sighed lightly, got up and squatted down beside her, and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms: "Sister, don't think about it, I understand you, I understand you what you do." ”

Wan Ning turned her head and asked, "Really?" ”

"Hmm. Do you still need to stress this repeatedly? We've been in a relationship for many years, what else do you have that I don't understand? It's just Wanning, do you know that you did something you shouldn't have done? None of us should execute prisoners without permission. Zuo Linghong is also an official of the imperial court and a death row prisoner appointed by the emperor. If the emperor investigates it, how do you plan to explain it to the emperor? ”

"I took the initiative to ask the emperor for guilt."

"How can you please for this sin?"

Wan Ning stood up, seemingly determined: "Brother, you don't have to worry. In short, if you can save your life, you can be punished. ”

"See how lightly you say, and get a little punished? This punishment is carried out in a little bit. ”

"It's okay, brother, haven't you seen the emperor yet?"

Gao Ziang knew that Wanning, a silly girl, was comforting him again, but in fact, she couldn't be sure in her own heart. He also got up and found that Wan Ning was wearing the silver hairpin he had given him before.

The hairpin is very exquisite, and every hairpin given to Wanning is personally selected by him according to Wanning's temperament, and strives to be worthy of her. In his eyes, only Wan Ning could make him willing to put so much effort into it.

Not only the hairpin, but all the accessories given to Wanning were all carefully selected by him.

He admired Wan Ning's face. I've liked her since I was a child, and she used to be so crystal clear. Since the accident of the Li family, the sweet face has been injected with haggard and sorrow. Thinking of this, he can understand what Wan Ning does.

Looking at her at this time, she seemed to be panicked, and she must be worried about how to explain to the emperor. He tried to divert her attention: "By the way, Sister Wan, let me ask you, how is Gonggong Cui beside the emperor treating you?" ”

Without thinking, Wan Ning said firmly: "He is a good person!" The emperor is really blessed, and those who serve him close are all good people. ”

Gao Ziang wondered why she was so sure and wanted to ask something, but swallowed back the words in her throat. She was already upset, so she didn't tell her anything else. Since she said she was a good person, she was a good person.

He asked Father-in-law Cui about his personality because he had already discovered that the two most important fathers-in-law around the emperor actually had a division of labor. Grandpa Zhang's management scope is wider, perhaps due to his high qualifications. And Grandpa Cui asks mostly about trivial matters, especially the harem. And what Gao Ziang wants to pay attention to most is naturally the harem.

As for Wanning forcing Zuo Linghong to drink poison, how the emperor punished her, it will be clear to ask Gonggong Cui back. He also secretly prayed for Wanning, hoping that the emperor could read the injustice of fate to the Li family, and the punishment for Wanning would be lighter.

Wanning returned to the palace when the sun was setting. During these days in the palace, she studied the time law of the emperor's coming to Yunyan Pavilion. There is a high probability that the emperor will come to Yunyan Pavilion tonight, and he needs to return to the palace before nightfall.

Everyone in Yunyan Pavilion was waiting for the emperor with apprehension, he hadn't come for a few days, so it was no wonder that everyone's hearts began to hang. Sure enough, as Wan Ning expected, the emperor still came in the old time, and a group of people came out happily to greet him.

The people who had already knelt on the ground, only Zhou Cairen and Wanning could go to the king and salute again.

Just as the talented people were happily greeting the emperor, he was displeased.

"Li Wanning, you kneel!" The emperor looked at Wan Ning beside the talented man and said sternly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

The emperor didn't say the reason, and Wanning, who reacted, didn't ask anything, but only responded in a low voice: "Obey." ”

She obeyed the emperor's order and knelt down.

Then the emperor still didn't say anything, and went straight into the house with Cairen. The rest of the subordinates, he also ordered to get up. In the huge courtyard, only Wan Ning knelt there alone.

By this time, night had fallen.

The emperor accompanied the talented man to dinner, and then spoke for a long time.

Until an hour later, the emperor raised his legs and came to the side hall where Wan Ning lived. Instructed Yan'er to go to the courtyard and call Wanning back to the room.

The emperor sat on the couch, playing with chess pieces in his hand, and seemed to be in a better mood than when he first came to Yunyan Pavilion. He asked, "Do you complain that you have been on your knees for so long at night?" ”

"Slaves don't dare."

"Do you know why I punished you?"

In fact, Wan Ning has some spectrum in her heart, probably to punish herself for feeding Zuo Linghong poison. But the person in front of him is the emperor, and his mind cannot be guessed, and it seems that he is guilty if he can't guess.

simply pretended not to know anything: "The slave and maid ask the emperor to make it clear." ”

"You went to the prison to deal with the death row prisoners privately, and you committed the same serious crime, and I almost couldn't save you."

"I'm causing trouble to the emperor."

"Feel at ease this time?" The emperor asked casually.

Wan Ning didn't answer the emperor, she couldn't say anything at this time, just obediently knelt down again. "The slave and maid are guilty, please punish the emperor."

The emperor glared at her for a long time, threw a chess piece on the chessboard, and said, "You get up, Zuo Linghong has already admitted that he took poison." ”

He laid out the full plate of chess pieces, pardoned Wan Ning again, and his voice softened a lot: "Okay, don't kneel, get up and play a few games of chess with me." ”

Wan Ning felt that the emperor, who was originally angry, had lost a lot of anger at this time, and he could really get up. Then he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Her legs were crushed by the sudden punishment of kneeling, and she walked to the couch and sat down in pain.
