Chapter 37: Prison
In Dali Temple, Song Wan was imprisoned in the innermost cell, she looked at the environment around her that was obviously higher than other cells, and she knew in her heart that the person had no intention of embarrassing her, she was a lot more relieved, after all, 'people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat', she really has no chips now, so all she can do now is wait! But resigned to fate is not her style after all, since that person wants to give her a try, she will naturally take it well....
"Song Wan"
"Why are you here?" Seeing Pei Ze, who was dressed in official uniform, appear outside the cell, she couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"What, don't you know that I serve in Dali Temple?"
By the way, this guy did serve in Dali Temple in his last life, and the time interval was too long, but she forgot, "Oh, so what, do you care about my case?" β
"Well, how about it, give you a chance, bribe me well, maybe I can make you suffer less here, how about it?"
"Hehe, I'm now a prisoner, what do I bribe you with, do you want to be sincere?"
"Not impossible."
"Don't."
Hearing this, it was not surprising that she rejected him so neatly, but just squatted down and changed the topic and said: "I heard that the fourth prince has been very close to Miss Yao Mansion recently" After a pause, Pei Ze looked at Song Wan, who was still sitting leisurely on the straw mat, and asked in a low voice: "Put your fate on the people of the royal family, Song Wan, is it really worth it?" β
Is it really worth it? Is it really worth it.... Song Wan looked at the person in front of her in a daze, and couldn't tell what night it was for a while! I still remember that when she was ordered to lead the troops to fight in the previous life, Pei Ze also asked her, "Go to the battlefield for Ji Qinian, Song Wan, is it really worth it?" How did she answer then? Presumably she also said something like worthwhile and no regrets, but who would have thought that she would pay the price of her life for her blind self-confidence....
"Song Wan?" Seeing that she was suddenly silent and didn't speak, Pei Ze thought that she had touched her vulnerability, and just wanted to open her mouth to comfort her, but heard clear words come out of her mouth firmly: "I believe in him, and at the same time believe in myself" After that, Song Wan put away her serious expression, changed into a lazy style and looked at Pei Ze, and said tentatively: "Master Pei, if Concubine Yu knows that you and I have something to do, presumably you can't stay by King Qi's side for a long time, at that time, why don't you come over and help me, how about the people's daughter to protect you?" β
"Hehe, just now you yourself said that you are now a prisoner, and you can't even bribe, how do you plan to keep your progress in the next place?"
"This time is not that time, if you agree, then I naturally have a way to get out."
"Oh? Song Wan, although I really want to believe you, you won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that you can be rescued quickly by relying on the four princes outside, right? Your incident this time is not only related to Yu Guifei, she is a harem mother, why are you a little girl embarrassed for no reason, have you ever thought about the relationship here? β
"Of course" Song Wan stood up and walked to the door of the cell, and said softly: "Although I am from the side of the fourth prince, but with my identity, Concubine Yu may not be able to see me as an enemy, so the real person behind it must be today" The last two words Song Wan did not say clearly, but the two of them had already tacitly understood this.
"If you know, why do you want to"
"Pei Ze" Song Wan interrupted his unfinished words, took out a note from his arms and handed it to him, and said, "Do you want to make a bet with me, if I can get out of here safe and sound within three days, you promise me one thing, how about it?" β
"What if you can't?"
"Can't" Song Wan turned around and sat down on the straw mat, and said with a smile: "That folk girl can only be disposed of by Master Pei~"
Seeing that he didn't answer, he just left quietly as he came. In this regard, Song Wan was not worried about what he would do, after all, he had already taken away the note, so he must have acquiesced and agreed to help her with this little favor.....
Outside the palace, Pei Ze looked at the pair of beauties who came to him, and couldn't help frowning, the guy in the cell, just this look? I'm afraid that after coming out, I will be kept in the dark by the green! "Xuetang has seen Master Pei" "The ministers see the four princes"
"Excuse me."
The "Four Princes" were about to pass by when they saw someone, Pei Ze still called him for some reason, maybe he also felt unworthy for the trust of the silly girl, "It is naturally a good thing for a beautiful day to be accompanied by a beautiful woman, but if this is in exchange for human lives, I hope that the four princes will weigh it again." β
Almost at the same time, Xiao Beichen knew what he meant by this. I didn't find it just now, but now I see that he actually came from the direction of Dali Temple, and he must have seen her.... Thinking of this, Xiao Beichen's eyes sank, and he said sharply: "I don't need Lord Pei to care about my affairs, of course, including people, I hope Lord Pei will respect himself!" After that, Xiao Beichen went in the direction of the palace without looking back, and Yao Xuetang naturally followed. Only Pei Ze was left alone and shook his head in place, it seems that someone is really stupid....
Tai Hospital, when Imperial Doctor Lu, who was over half a hundred years old, was instructing his medicine boys to pick up medicinal herbs, he was suddenly attacked in the back of the head by an object, "Who?" β
Imperial Physician Lu, who reacted, looked left and right, and saw that there was no figure around, so he couldn't help muttering in a puzzled voice: "Could it be that you have seen a ghost?" β
"Master, here's a note."
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Lu took it over and took a look, only to see a few big characters written on it: "Purple grass poison, Showa Palace, dead corpse"
Comfrey poison? Is it comfrey poison, has this poison finally reappeared? Imperial Physician Lu walked back and forth excitedly, and when he thought that it was this poison that took his wife's life, he hated it! What's even more odious is that as a first-class official of the Tai Hospital, he has no solution to this poison, so he feels frustrated.... So this time, no matter who the messenger is, whether the content of the letter is true or false, as long as there is a trace of the possibility of the existence of comfrey poison, he will not let it go again! I have been studying it for so many years, just waiting for the day when it will reappear.
"Xiao Yao Li, take the token, I'm going to see the emperor"
.........
Jinluan Palace, the emperor listened to the news that Gao Fu heard from outside the palace earlier, and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Is this serious?" β
"Back to the emperor, now it has been spread all over the outside, saying that Su Qing, the first-class palace maid of Showa Palace, had an affair with someone, and cooperated to kill the person who ran into adultery, and also said that Yu Guifei shielded her right-hand man, and found someone to blame for the crime, and regarded the emperor's law as nothing."
"Have you found the person who spread the rumors?"
"No, I heard that this person always wrapped food in stationery printed with rumors and distributed them to beggars in different parts of the capital, and then spread them through themselves. If we catch them all and interrogate them one by one, it will take a lot of troops and time, not to mention, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find the trace of that person in the end. β
"Yes," the emperor smiled appreciatively rather than angry, "It seems that she is much more resourceful than I thought." β
"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Lu asks to see you"
Lu Quan? What is he doing here at this hour? "Let Him In"
"Yes".....
"Wechen see the emperor"
"Excuse me" looked at the hurried appearance of the people below, and the emperor couldn't help but wonder: "Why is Imperial Doctor Lu in such a hurry, what is the important matter?" β
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a thing, please take a look at it."
After taking the note from Gao Fu's hand, he opened it and saw that it was..."Comfrey poison? β
"Exactly! Your Majesty, how many people in the palace were harmed by this poison back then, I believe that there is no need for Wei Chen to say in detail, the emperor has his own decision in his heart. Now that someone has told that this thing still has the possibility of existing, and it is still in the palace, whether it is true or not, Weichen hopes that the emperor can thoroughly investigate and return the dead souls to a clean slate! β
Hehe, until now, with this interlocking deployment, he has to admire the girl's courage and carefulness. It seems that it's time for this farce to come to an end... A gleam flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he ordered: "Come on, go to Showa Palace Xuanyu Guifei to come and see you."
"Yes"
"Wait, go to Dali Temple and bring that Song Wan over, I want to see what the hell is going on!"
"Yes"......
Dali Temple, Pei Ze came to the door of the cell again, this time looking at the woman in front of him again, he was really a little impressed! Since the incident, in less than three days, she has been able to let the emperor personally deal with this matter, and she, a person in a prison cell, can still secretly take precautions, he really admires...."Song Wan"
"What, is the emperor going to see me?"
"Hmm..... How did you do that? β
Really! After getting a positive answer, Song Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, she was not completely sure, she was also gambling, fortunately, God was on her side this time, "Hehe, Master Pei wants to know?" β
"Hmm"
"Oh, then I won't tell you" Song Wan nodded smugly, motioning for her to open the chains. After cleaning up, he was about to get out of here, when he suddenly remembered something, so he had to turn back to him and remind: "Master Pei, don't forget our bet, you owe me something." β
"Yes! Song Wan, you said that if I didn't help you pass that note to Imperial Doctor Lu, do you think your plan would be so smooth? Now that you're telling me about betting, wouldn't it be inappropriate? β
"No," Song Wan smiled slyly and said, "If it weren't for your help, I would have gone out from here, it's just a matter of time." Besides, since you agreed, didn't you expect that there would be a high probability that I would win? Master Pei, there are no regrets. β
"Hehe, you can calculate people's hearts, since you are so confident, then do you know something?"
"What?"
Seeing that he was still in the dark, Pei Ze couldn't help but lean close to her ear and whispered: "Yao Shoufu recently played, saying that he wanted the emperor to choose a good family for his only daughter, and according to legend, the candidate was one of those princes, and recently the four princes have been extremely close to Yao Xuetang, if this is not the emperor's acquiescence, do you think that as an official relative, she can enter the palace and the prince's mansion at will?" After that, Pei Ze lowered his head, looked at her obviously stunned expression, and couldn't help reminding: "Song Wan, aren't you very resourceful, dare to ask this game, how do you break it?" β
