[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, the fourth day of the fourth month of April, the time of the Emperor, and the prison of heaven]

Xu Ke saw Mingyue walking to his bedside at first glance, and thought that he was dreaming, but unexpectedly, behind Mingyue, there was also the big Ding Chunqiu.

At this moment, Xu Ke suddenly woke up, because in his dream, Ding Chunqiu would not appear no matter what.

Xu Ke rubbed his sleepy eyes, and immediately asked Ding Chunqiu:

"Ding Datou, what's going on, why did Mingyue come here?"

Ding Chunqiu lowered his head, bowed to Xu Ke, and said in a sneering manner:

"Lord Qianhu, it's Miss Mingyue who wants to come to the edict prison by herself, and we can't stop it!"

So, Ding Chunqiu told Xu Ke about why Mingyue appeared in the edict at this time......

It turned out that after Ding Chunqiu got off duty, when he walked to the gate of Tsing Yi Wei, he saw two guards of the Luan Yi Division loudly scolding a woman outside the door.

The guard immediately reported that the woman claimed to be "Mingyue", she hurriedly ran over, and she must break into the Tsing Yi guard, saying that she wanted to "avenge the grievances of Lord Xu", and said that "Lord Xu should not go to prison" "Everything is Mingyue's fault, and it should be her Mingyue who wants to go to prison......

When the two guards guarding the door saw that this woman was crazy, how could they let her enter the door? Before that, the guards had already beaten her out with a burst of sticks, and even arrested her for the crime of "trespassing on the Tsing Yi guards" and caught her in the guards and ravaged them wantonly.

However, since the last time the seventeenth princess was snubbed by the guards in front of the gate of the Tsing Yi Guard, Luan Yi Si Qianhu Zhu Leyun clearly ordered his subordinates not to insult anyone when guarding the door in the future, let alone to do anything to anyone who came at will!

Therefore, today, the guards saw that this woman was impulsive in her speech and in a frantic manner, and at first she was able to admonish patiently, but later, when they saw that this woman refused to leave, as if she would not give up until she entered the gate of the Tsing Yi Guard, the guards could not help but be angry, and could not help but shout at her.

Seeing this, Ding Chunqiu hurriedly looked at the woman carefully, and found that the other party was really Mingyue, a prisoner who had been imprisoned in the edict before, and immediately said in surprise:

"You're really Mingyue! What are you doing here?"

Mingyue also vaguely recognized that Ding Chunqiu in front of her was a lieutenant in the Imperial Prison, and at that time, it was this Ding Lieutenant who was busy and personally settled her in the cell of the Imperial Prison, and she immediately pleaded:

"This official, the people's daughter wants to see you Xu Qianhu!"

"Xu Qianhu is now inconvenient to meet people!"

"Lord Xu was really imprisoned......! This official helps, the people want to meet the biggest official in your prison!"

The two guards next to him couldn't help but sneer when they heard this, and said in their hearts, You haven't even figured out the official name of our Tsing Yi Wei, so you want to break in, aren't you really crazy?

Ding Chunqiu glared at the guard, but said to Mingyue and Yan:

"Miss Mingyue, you finally got out of the edict prison, what are you doing here today? You must know, trespassing on my Tsing Yi Guard, that is a felony! You better leave quickly!"

"Official!" Mingyue was anxious, her eyes were wet, and she was almost about to burst into tears, she leaned down towards Ding Chunqiu and pleaded again:

"Lord Xu went to the prison because of the case of the people's daughter, and Lord Xu was wronged......! The people's daughter wants to avenge Lord Xu!"

Seeing this, the guards next to him sneered in their hearts, "Just because you are a mere folk girl, you still want to avenge Lord Xu's crimes? It seems that you are really crazy! However, when the guards saw Ding Chunqiu beside them, they didn't dare to sneer.

Ding Chunqiu seemed to be touched, although he knew that Mingyue did this, it didn't make the slightest sense, but he still couldn't bear to turn her away, so he took a step back from the door, waved his hand at Mingyue, and said:

"Then come with me!"

"Thank you, sir!"

In the surprised eyes of the guards, Ding Chunqiu took Mingyue into the gate of Tsing Yi Wei, walked through the front porch, walked through the atrium, passed through many small courtyards and corridors, and went straight to the north yaxing.

Naturally, the place where he took Mingyue was the thousand-household official house where Nangong was silent.

Nangong Qianhu finished processing the official documents at hand, and was about to get up and go on duty, but when he saw Ding Chunqiu walking into the door with a beautiful woman, he felt strange in his heart.

"Ding Datou, what are you?"

"Lord Qiqi Qianhu, this is Miss Mingyue!"

"Mingyue?"

"It's the top card of Cuiyun Building before. ”

"Is that her? What is she going to do?"

Ding Chunqiu summoned Mingyue to Nangong's silent approach and said:

"Miss Mingyue, this is the thousand households of our Bei'an Ping Division, Lord Nangong, Lord Nangong is the biggest official in charge of the edict!

After saying that, Ding Chunqiu bowed down and stood solemnly.

Mingyue bowed to the ground silently towards Nangong and said respectfully:

"Mingyue, the maiden, meet Lord Nangong!"

"Get up!" Nangong was silent and saw that Ding Chunqiu suddenly brought the top card of the former Cuiyun Building into his official room, and his heart was a little unhappy, he glanced coldly at Ding Chunqiu, who was bowing his head next to him, and turned to Mingyue and asked:

"You're looking for this official, what's the matter?"

Mingyue still knelt on the ground, refusing to get up, she pleaded with pleading:

"The folk girl begs Lord Nangong to release Xu Qianhu! Don't let him be locked up in the edict!"

Nangong couldn't help but listen to it angrily and funny:

"You said that the official put Xu Qianhu in the edict prison? That is the will of the Holy Lord today!"

"Holy Lord, why did the Holy Lord put Lord Xu in prison?"

"Didn't he do this to save you?"

Nangong raised his eyes silently and looked at Mingyue, and said in his heart, virtuous brother, virtuous brother, although this Mingyue was born beautifully, how can you disobey the Son of Heaven for her?!

Mingyue thought about it for a while, as if she had made up her mind, only to hear her beg Nangong again:

"Since the Holy Lord punished Lord Xu for the case of the people's daughter, then ...... The people's daughter begged Lord Nangong to arrest the people's daughter in the edict prison, and the people's daughter was willing to repent of her guilt and beg the saint to spare Lord Xu!"

Nangong was silent and said unhappily:

"Do you say that my Tsing Yi Wei's edict is your Cuiyun Building? Come if you want, and leave if you want? This official might as well tell you the truth, you are you, Xu Qianhu is Xu Qianhu, and although your crime has been exempted by decree, what Xu Qianhu has committed is the crime of 'dereliction of duty'! Even if this official arrests you in the edict prison, even if this official imprisons you for the rest of your life, it will not be able to withstand Xu Qianhu's crime at all!"

Mingyue still knelt on the ground, and said with tears in her eyes:

"Lord Nangong, the folk girl begs you to think of ideas, be sure to save Lord Xu!"

Nangong was silent and saw Mingyue's crying and pleading, and couldn't help but feel unbearable, so his face eased slightly, and he persuaded:

"Miss Mingyue, you don't have to worry too much, the saint just let Xu Qianhu stay in the edict prison for a while, and after the saint is angry, Xu Qianhu will come from the edict prison. It's you...... After all, it is related to the case of King Han, and it is ...... In the past, the top card of Cuiyun Building, if you are really good for Xu Qianhu, this official advises you...... Let's hurry up! In the future, you should stay as far away from Xu Qianhu as possible!"

Mingyue could hear what Nangong said silently, and she also knew that she was only the power of ants, so how could she save Lord Xu from the edict prison? She cried for a while, and had to plead with Nangong again:

"Lord Nangong, then put the folk girl in the edict prison, and the folk girl is willing to go to Lord Xu's cell and take care of his daily life and diet!"

"You...... Why do you want to go to prison so much?"

"Lord Xu is kind to the people's daughter, the people's girl just wants to go in and take care of him for a few days, and after Lord Xu is out of prison, the people's daughter should stay away from ......"

"No! The Imperial Prison is not an inn, and you are not running away from the hall, Xu Qianhu is in the Imperial Prison, and he has his own guards to take care of him, so there is no need for you to take care of it! Besides, the heavens and the earth are heavy, how can you allow an irrelevant woman to go in and out at will? If this matter is spread out, what will it be!"

"The adult is only a folk girl and a prisoner, and the folk girl and Lord Xu can be locked together, or two adjacent cells! The adult is the biggest official in the edict prison, if the adult nods, others will have no objection!"

"That's not going to work either!"

"Ask the adults to agree, if the adults don't agree, the people will not be able to kneel on the ground!"

......

Next, no matter how Nangong Qianhu reasoned with Mingyue Xiaozhi, or threatened Mingyue with words, so that Mingyue knew the difficulty and retreated, Mingyue knelt on the ground, only saying that she just wanted to go to the edict to take care of Lord Xu, if she didn't agree to what she asked, even if she knelt until dawn tomorrow, she would not be able to kneel for a long time!

Nangong was silent and had signaled Ding Chunqiu with his eyes several times, asking him to help Mingyue on the ground to get up, and it was best to forcibly pull her away, but Ding Chunqiu only leaned over and bowed his head, as if he hadn't seen it.

At this time, it was almost dawning, Nangong couldn't help but be impatient, and his sister at home was still waiting for him to go back to have a meal.

However, he was still helpless against Mingyue who was kneeling on the ground, and under Mingyue's repeated begging, he finally had to wave his hand at Ding Chunqiu, and ordered Ding Datou to bring Mingyue into the prison first, and then talk about other things, and leave it for tomorrow!

"Okay, okay! Ding Datou, you brought the person in, and the company will hand her over to you, you can take her wherever she likes!"

After saying that, Nangong ignored the bright moon on the ground without saying a word, and Gu Zi got up and left the official room. He didn't want to keep the flowers at home waiting!

So, Ding Chunqiu took Mingyue into the Imperial Prison and entered the No. 11 cell of Jiazi, at this time, it happened that Xu Ke fell asleep groggily, Mingyue saw Xu Ke, and was immediately overjoyed, she was excited, so she ran to the side of the bed and called Xu Ke gently, which made Xu Ke wake up again.

When Xu Ke heard this, he immediately jumped up and jumped away from the bedside, he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no! Ding Datou, you quickly take Mingyue away and send her back to her original place! This is the Imperial Prison, not an inn!"

Unexpectedly, Ding Chunqiu rarely "disobeyed the order" this time, he hugged his fist to Xu Ke and said: "Lord Qianhu, humiliation is on the order of Nangong Qianhu to bring Mingyue here, and now that the person has been brought, he will be on duty!"

After that, he didn't wait for Xu Ke to react, he turned around, walked out of the prison door, and walked quickly towards the outside of the prison.

"Come back! Ding Datou, you come back for me!"

Xu Ke was so anxious that he shouted at Ding Chunqiu's back, but this time, Ding Datou was actually "bold" and seemed to be deaf to his words.

After Ding Chunqiu left the edict, Xu Ke had nothing to do, scratched his forehead, had to turn around, and persuaded Mingyue:

"Miss Mingyue, you have also seen that this edict is not a place for people to stay! There is no daylight here all the year round, it is not only dark and damp, but also dirty and filthy; there is blood and rancid everywhere here, and I don't know how many innocent people have died here, and I don't know how many prisoners have been tortured here! When the common people hear the word 'edict', they will be frightened! You don't live in the inn, but you come to this edict to do something?!"

"It's good!" Mingyue raised her eyes and glanced around the cell, but said with a smile:

"I don't think it's any different from an inn!"
