Cui Jin sat cross-legged in a cell in Dali Temple.

Liu Qifan has not interrogated himself in the past few days, for fear that something has happened outside.

He had some regret in his heart, he had been too comfortable all these years, and he was not cautious enough.

I thought that I could provoke the northern Xinjiang through Yeluhe, so that Shen Yuzhou could not stay in the capital and get in the way, but I didn't expect to be careless, but I sent myself in.

He leaned against the cold stone wall and closed his eyes.

However, their Cui family still has roots in the court, and someone will speak for him.

and Concubine Cui...... That's his sister, who is the same mother as him, and there will definitely be a turnaround.

Thinking so, there was the sound of chains clashing outside the door.

"Master Cui, someone has come to see you." The Cui family stuffed silver, but the jailer was still more polite to him.

With that, he got out of the way and let the people behind him into the cell.

Leaving no one to disturb them, the jailer locked the door and left.

The visitor was wearing a long black cloak, and the huge hood covered most of his face, so he couldn't see clearly.

"I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Cui Jin thought about it carefully, and didn't know who would come to visit him at this time.

And the man stood at the doorway, and did not look at him, but spoke to himself.

"Is Master Cui still thinking that someone will fish you out?"

"Don't think about it, the eldest princess and Your Majesty are determined to wash the Cui family from the inside out this time."

"By the way, Master Cui doesn't know yet, right?" There was some imperceptible smile in the man's voice, "Your cousin Cui Yu found a killer to assassinate the eldest princess...... And it failed. ”

Cui Jin was shocked, "What? You...... Who the hell are you? What do you want to do when you come to talk about this? ”

The man laughed, "Don't be nervous, Lord Cui, I'm here to help Lord Cui...... Keep the Cui family. ”

Cui Jin stared at the man for a while, and then said, "Your Excellency should know that the Cui family is prosperous, and even if the old man dies, the Cui family will still have someone who can stand up as the master of the house." Even if Cui Yu committed a crime of great disrespect, thinking about Concubine Cui and King Jing, His Majesty would never be a member of the clan. Therefore, I can't accept your kindness. ”

The man took off the hood on his cloak and turned his head to look at Cui Jin, "You really don't want the Cui family to go further?" ”

"You ......" Cui Jin stood up directly from the ground, "How could it be you...... What are you doing? Why? ”

"It's very interesting," the man smiled brightly, "I just want Lord Cui to make a choice, whether to linger and let the Cui family be completely consumed by the one on the dragon chair now, or gamble, so that the Cui family, a relative of the imperial family, can sit more realistically." ”

"Concubine Cui...... Now it's just a false name, and the Cui family has been very distressed about it for a long time, right? ”

The light in Cui Jin's eyes dimmed little by little, "Over the years, the people in the clan have become more and more uncompetitive, and the old man has cleaned up one mess after another. In fact, the old man didn't want to kill his relatives in righteousness to prevent future troubles, but his elders and relatives pleaded and pressured again and again...... It's good now, the old man can't clean up these things anymore......"

He suddenly raised his head and stared straight at the man standing in the shadows, "Can you guarantee it?" I'm going to die, and then the Cui family can still be saved? ”

"Security?" The man shook his head, "Master Cui, do you know what it means for a strong man to break his wrist?" Those who are incompetent and will only cause trouble and not drag their feet will definitely not be able to be saved. ”

"However, I can guarantee that the Cui family will never be destroyed. As long as there are still people alive, there is hope for a turnaround, right? The man approached Cui Jin step by step and said in a low voice, "Don't forget, King Jing has half of the Cui family's blood on his body." ”

Cui Jin closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The man leaned closer, "It's very simple, you only need Master Cui to confess your guilt and surrender to the law." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his cuff and handed it to him, "I have prepared the letter of guilt for the adult, you can copy it once, and someone will help the adult send it out." ”

Cui Jin was silent for a moment and took the piece of paper.

In black and white, there were many things he knew, or didn't know.

"Haha...... Hahaha......"

Cui Jin laughed, "I can't imagine that I, Cui Jin, have found so many scapegoats for my clan and myself all my life, and in the end, there will be a day when I will be a scapegoat for others." ”

The man put the hood back on his cloak, "Good cooperation." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left the cell.

……

In the princess's mansion, Xiao Yunjiao frowned after listening to Jiang Yiheng's words, "Cui Jin pleaded guilty?" ”

Liu Qifan didn't pry open his mouth after so long, why was he suddenly so happy?

Jiang Yiheng nodded, "The confession letter Dali Temple has been sent to Your Majesty." ”

"The idiot of the Cui family has a bad idea, does Cui Jin want to exchange his life for the Cui family?" Xiao Yunjiao frowned and thought for a while, feeling that it still didn't make sense.

Jiang Yiheng said: "Now that Cui Jin is in prison, it was originally a catastrophe for the Cui family, and the Cui family will inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry." Assassinating the princess is also worried about being cornered, which makes sense. ”

"Cui Jin knows that such a thing happened to his clan, and now this confession, I'm afraid he wants to take all the sins on himself."

Xiao Yunjiao got up, "I went into the palace to find Your Majesty, and if I didn't see this confession with my own eyes, the palace felt uneasy." ”

As soon as he took two steps outside, Chu Xiu came in to report, "Princess, Marquis Shen is here." ”

Xiao Yunjiao was a little surprised, although the Cui family is now difficult to protect itself, but they are not the only ones staring at Shen Yuzhou and the military power in his hands, why is this person still blatantly running to the princess's mansion at this time?

Before she could figure it out, Shen Yuzhou came to her.

"I've seen the princess." Shen Yuzhou was thoughtful and thoughtful, looking like he was on business, "Your Majesty summoned the princess into the palace and ordered the ministers to escort her." ”

Xiao Yunjiao suddenly wanted to laugh when she saw his serious appearance, if His Majesty summoned her into the palace, it must be to let Gonggong Kang come, where did he come on purpose?

But she didn't poke it, went back to the room to change her clothes, thought about it, and put some lip grease on her mouth.

Shen Yuzhou had been outside the door all the time, she didn't want him to wait too long, so she looked in the mirror and went out.

"Let's go."

Shen Yuzhou was silently beside her, neither of them looked at anyone, and walked out wordless all the way.

The subordinates of the princess's mansion all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look, and there was only one thought in their hearts - Marquis Shen was afraid that he would quarrel with the princess again.

It stands to reason that these two are also childhood sweethearts, but everyone in the capital knows that they are not in harmony with each other. In the past, the princess wanted to ask the first emperor to give them a marriage, forcing Marquis Shen to hide directly from the army. Now that he is back, he has little contact with the princess's mansion, and he has a straight face when he returns to the princess.

The few little girls who were sweeping the courtyard shook their heads tacitly - their princess wanted to take down Marquis Shen...... Difficult.

Xiao Yunjiao, who was guessed by the little girl to be difficult to take down Shen Yuzhou, was standing in front of the carriage at the moment.

Her original ornate mahogany carriage had been destroyed during the assassination, and what was parked outside the princess's mansion at the moment was a four-seater black and gold ebony carriage.

The exterior of the carriage was only varnished twice on the ebony, revealing the color of the ebony itself. The joints of the doors and windows are fixed with copper sheets - it looks very strong.

Xiao Yunjiao frowned, "Where did this carriage come from, it's so ugly." ”

The black carriage was unadorned, like an ugly box.

Shen Yuzhou said: "The princess's carriage is destroyed, and it will take time to make a new frame. ”

Xiao Yunjiao looked at him, then at the carriage, and didn't say anything more, but just stood there and refused to move.

Until Shen Yuzhou stepped forward and put his hand in front of her.

It means to help her.

Xiao Yunjiao showed a smile at this time, and helped his palm to get into the car.

The inside of the carriage was different from its ordinary appearance.

As soon as she entered, she saw two soft pillows embroidered with flowers and a thick layer of brocade cushions on the seat. Xiao Yunjiao sat down and realized that this was the same fabric used in his carriage.

There was also a low cabinet on each side of the spacious seat, and she opened the top floor, which was full of newly bought candied fruit.

Near the door, there was a small hexagonal lotus incense burner, wafting with the incense she was used to.

Xiao Yunjiao lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at Shen Yuzhou who was riding a horse and followed the carriage and said with a smile: "There is Hou Shen Houye." ”

Shen Yuzhou didn't squint, "It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of His Majesty." ”

Xiao Yunjiao leaned against the window, didn't lower the curtain, and looked at Shen Yuzhou on the horse so blatantly.

Sensing her gaze, Shen Yuzhou tilted his face in the direction of the carriage invisibly, trying to maintain a serious expression.

In such a situation, in the eyes of outsiders, it is their extravagant eldest princess who actually flirted with Shen Hou Ye in broad daylight!

Seeing the carriage walking away, the pedestrians on the street whispered,

"This eldest princess won't look at Marquis Shen again, right?"

"Evil, are there still fewer men who have been brought back to the princess's mansion in recent years? Marquis Shen has made great achievements, but he can't be wronged to be a woman's plaything! ”

"You don't know, do you? The eldest princess has long been in love with Shen Hou Ye, and Shen Hou Ye joined the army three years ago just to avoid her. ”

"Really?"

"Naturally, it's true, you see, Marquis Shen should be even more disgusted with the eldest princess now, and he won't even look at her."

"Also, what man in the world can bear to be regarded as a possession by such a misdemeanor woman. Shen Hou Ye must be unwilling, that is, because she is a princess. ”

......

Also passing by the carriage was a woman in Tsing Yi, who silently listened to the conversation of the pedestrians and shook her head.

The maid beside her saw her and persuaded her: "Miss, let's go, Madame has found a lot of ways to get the opportunity to see the master, we can't delay." Our family is in trouble now, Marquis Shen...... Don't worry about it anymore. ”

The woman in Tsing Yi was Cui Shuyao, she glanced in the direction of the carriage again, and smiled silently.

Shen Yuzhou doesn't like Xiao Yunjiao?

This is really the biggest joke she's heard in the past ten years.

Cui Shuyao didn't say a word, retracted his gaze and continued to walk towards Dali Temple Prison.
