Chapter 38: The Mad Woman at the Palace Gate
"What about people? Didn't you just say that the third prince, Emperor Weikang, ordered him to come over? Where is it? ”
A group of guards armed with knives stood at the doorway of the building and asked.
"My lord, it's inside, he just went in when I went to ask for help, and he should still be inside."
Then came the sound of hurried footsteps.
When those people stood in front of the building, they found that the prison room was empty except for the prisoners, and now the third prince was gone.
"It should have been taken away by him, forget it."
"My lord, how can we recover our lives like this? What if the emperor knew that the third prince had come here to open it? ”
The guard at the door of the cell said.
"That's it, since it's the third prince, what can we do? Since he is gone, then we can only resume our lives, is it possible that we have to go to the third prince's bedroom to arrest him, can't he succeed? ”
The guard who took the lead glared angrily at the person next to him and spoke.
I didn't expect this young guard to be so incomprehensible, what to catch when no one is there, and he didn't catch it in person, after all, he is also a prince with a noble status.
"The villain is wrong, the villain doesn't mean that, I'm afraid that you won't be able to go back to your life."
After listening to the adult's words, the guard said in fear.
"Okay, don't mention this to anyone today, stand at your post."
After saying that, the heavy footsteps disappeared again in an instant.
After the third prince came out, he walked directly towards the palace gate.
When he walked to the gate of the palace, he suddenly saw that something seemed to be happening in front of him, and a swarm of people gathered together.
"What's going on?"
He said to the guards next to him.
"The prince seems to have a woman today, with wounds all over her body, her hair is scattered, her speech is also slurred, her words are slurred, her words are slurred, she kneels at the door as if she wants to cry out for someone, someone should come to clean it up after a while, don't take it to heart the third prince, don't know if it's someone who is here to make trouble."
After listening to the guard's words, the third prince stopped thinking about this matter, after all, he had more important things to do now.
So he hurried away again, mounted his black horse, and prepared to rush to Weifu.
"Wronged, my lord wronged, Your Majesty, our Lord Wei has always been innocent, he naturally knows how to serve the country and the people, he was wronged, and the people who framed him have been found out by me, please see me."
Suddenly, the cry of a woman's bullying came into his ears.
My heart trembled.
Stretching out his hand, he quickly descended from the horse, and then pushed through the crowd and got in.
Sure enough, what caught his eye was an unsightly picture.
The woman kneeling on the ground was so unkempt, her hair was buzzing, and there were a lot of branches and leaves mixed in it, it looked like she hadn't washed her hair for three or four days, her body was covered with amazing ice marks, and even some of the wounds were even bloodstained, her face was already stained with tears, her eyes were also red and swollen, and the whole person looked very haggard.
"Who are you?"
There were many onlookers at the city gate, and everyone gathered around to watch the excitement.
Hearing the sound of the man's voice, the woman on the ground raised her eyes in a panic and met the eyes of the third prince.
"My lord, my lord, I am the wife of Prime Minister Wei, the woman begs you, can you help me ask the emperor for intercession? Lord Wei has been wronged, please tell the emperor, the traitor has been found by me, the maid who placed the palace drawings in our house has been strictly interrogated by me, and now I have escaped from the house, and the maid has now been tied up by me at home, but now I can't see the emperor's face, so I beg you, please can this lord help me, let me tell the emperor in person, this matter can save our family. ”
The woman in front of her said with tears on her face, this miserable appearance made the surrounding crowd couldn't help but be moved, because everyone didn't know what happened in the Wei Mansion, so they only thought that the woman in front of her was a crazy woman.
In addition to shaking her head and sighing, he was persuading her.
"Whose house are you? Seeing that you are not young anymore, it can't be that you have some conflicts with your family, right? ”
"Yes, yes, who is this lady talking about? Could it be Prime Minister Wei? We don't know when you were arrested, and you don't look like a bad person, maybe something is wrong with your sanity. ”
Everyone said everything you said, but the third prince's expression was not so surprised, and it also attracted the attention of the kneeling woman in front of him.
"Mrs. Wei, please get up, please come with me."
The third prince hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, pushed aside the crowd, turned around and walked towards the palace again.
"Mrs. Wei, hasn't the Wei Mansion been strictly controlled? How did you get out? You came by coincidence, I was just about to go out to meet you, and you escaped, but what about the scars on your body? Did the detainees still do it to you? ”
The two of them said as they walked towards the palace.
"This son, I see that you are a good person, those people outside the city gate don't know what happened to the Wei Mansion, they all think I am crazy, then I am fortunate to have met you, are you the person sent to my house by Lord Wei, how is the Lord now? How is he doing now? ”
Mrs. Wei said with an anxious face.
Her tone was full of concern.
"Don't worry, Lord Wei is still normal, don't worry too much, now we still need to think long-term, and make everything clear before we can go to the emperor, if it is not clear in front of the emperor, it will give those bad people a chance, so that they can take advantage of the loopholes and calculate, so we go back to the room."
Mrs. Wei, who was next to the third prince's voice, said, and then helped her back to her bedroom.
The maid just now saw the figure of the third prince leaving and turned back, and there was a middle-aged woman who looked ragged next to her.
"Third Prince, you're back."
The maids at the door said respectfully.
"Close the door, don't disturb anyone, bring some hot food, and prepare a basin of hot water."
The third prince instructed the maids behind him.
"Okay, third prince, let's do it."
After entering the dormitory, the door was closed, and the third prince arranged for Mrs. Wei to sit down, poured her a sip of hot tea, and sat on a stool himself.
"Madame Wei, how did you find out about that traitor, and how did she admit it?"
The third prince asked with a frown.
"If it weren't for the honorific title that the maid gave you just now, I wouldn't have known that you were the third prince, and the third prince forgave me for being offended and even talking to you face to face."
After Mrs. Wei learned that it was the third prince in front of her, her tone was a little anxious.
"Mrs. Wei, who is out of the way, don't care about your identity, you continue."
