Chapter 16: Released from prison
"This ......"
The conspiracy in the emperor's words is self-evident, "Su Qing, if it is assumed that Xie Chengxuan's crown princess is from Yan Kingdom, and Xie Chengxuan has a wife of Yan Kingdom on the side to persuade him, do you say, will Xie Chengxuan still start a war against Yan Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty, Wanning has only had a one-sided relationship with Xie Chengxuan, Xie Chengxuan is not close to women, how can he marry Wanning?" Su Wangjie was shocked and hurriedly pleaded.
Xie Chengxuan is terrifying, who doesn't know the character of this person? Yin Yu is ruthless, unmerciful, merciful, and cherishes jade.
It was not that no one had sent a woman to Xie Chengxuan, but what was the result?
As a result, none of those women got a good end, and they were either sent to the place where the dogs and horses were sound, or they were thrown back after Xie Chengxuan's five horses were dismembered.
In short, all the women who were sent to him became political victims, and no one could get a good end, how could he, as a father, watch his daughter die?
Moreover, taking 10,000 steps back, even if Xie Chengxuan was interested in Su Wanning, he would never let his daughter marry such a person!
His daughter has been simple-minded since she was a child and has not been deeply involved in the world, while Xie Chengxuan is proficient in conspiracy and calculation, and the city government is quite deep.
If his daughter marries, she will definitely become something in his hands, and he will play with it in the palm of his hand, how can he bear to let his daughter marry such a murderous demon without blinking?
"Su Qing, if Xie Chengxuan has no intention of your daughter, how could he give her this jade pendant in order to save her? And your daughter's reputation was ruined because of Xie Chengxuan, besides Xie Chengxuan, who else can she marry in the future?"
"Your Majesty, Wanning must not go, please take back your order. Su Wangjie fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"Prime Minister Su, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, you Su Wangjie entered the officialdom at the age of twenty-one and ate the court's income for more than 30 years, shouldn't your daughter repay the court?"
"Su Wanning, as a citizen of Yan Kingdom, for the sake of the peace of the country, shouldn't she sacrifice her life and sacrifice herself for this country?"
"Your Majesty, by all means!"
"Prime Minister Su, what are you anxious about! Did I say that I ordered Su Wanning to go and kiss?" The emperor is cunning and cunning, and the conspiracy in his words is self-evident, but he is still fighting with Su Wangjie.
The emperor stroked the lines of the jade pendant and said, "Didn't you take this jade pendant today to save your daughter?"
"Yes......" Su Wangjie's back was already covered in a layer of cold sweat.
"Xiao Lizi, pass on the decree, I remember that Prime Minister Su Cheng is old, and there is only one only daughter Su Wanning, so I pardoned Su Wanning for her innocence, and went home to think about it behind closed doors. ”
"The Ministers are grateful. Saying that, Su Wangjie breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him. Anyway, Su Wanning's life was finally saved.
"This jade pendant Xie Chengxuan regards it as a treasure. Since it was given to your daughter, it was her creation, so that she could keep this jade pendant for a long time. If he starts a war one day, everything will depend on Miss Su. Saying that, the emperor came to Su Wangjie, personally handed back the jade pendant to him, and patted Su Wangjie's shoulder with bad intentions.
The emperor's meaning is obvious, if he really goes to war one day, then he will send Su Wanning to make peace, and then Su Wanning will become a victim of war.
jail
It was the middle of winter, and there was no light in the prison all the year round, and it was extremely cold inside, and people stayed in it, and it seemed that even the exhaled gas had condensed into ice ballast.
After staying in this prison for more than half a month, Su Wanning's health was getting worse and worse, and she often coughed, she was very thinly dressed, and although she was tightly wrapped in the black robe that Xie Chengxuan left her, she was still shivering with cold.
Even if Xie Chengxuan spent a lot of money to deliberately buy off the Criminal Department to make Su Wanning live a little better than others, but in this cold prison, her body, which was accustomed to a life of brocade clothes and jade food, still couldn't stand it.
Seeing the arrival of her father-in-law in the palace, Su Wanning was stunned, thinking that the emperor had decided to give her death.
Su Wanning knew that she was going to die, so she washed up carefully before she came out to accept the order, even if she died, she had to die decently and cleanly.
But what she didn't expect was that what she received was not a decree to give her death, but a holy decree to forgive her.
The little eunuch from the palace pinched his throat and passed the decree, "Su Wanning received the decree, and I remembered that Prime Minister Su Cheng was old, and there was only one only daughter of Su Wanning, so I forgave Su Wanning for no crime." ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Wanning's pale face was full of shock, she was pardoned?
It is a felony to be caught with a wild man, a felony to kill people, and it is an unforgivable crime to disturb the royal marriage and disgrace the royal family, and she was pardoned?
After Su Wanning received the decree, she walked out of the prison in a daze with the holy decree in her hand, and stood at the door of the prison, the scene in front of her was a little unreal, and it was already snowing.
White snowflakes fell on the earth, covering the whole world in silver, as if it were a dream.
Su Wanning tightened the clothes on her body, and she was still wrapped in Tang Yu's black robe.
She also guessed that it must be because of Tang Yu and because of the jade pendant that His Majesty will pardon her.
Su Wanning frowned, who is he? It made His Majesty jealous of him, but just a jade pendant actually released her.
The dazzling sunlight was a little warm, Su Wanning was used to the darkness in the prison, and the sunlight in front of her made her a little uncomfortable.
Raising her eyes, the sunlight was very dazzling, so she covered her eyes with her hand and stared at the sunlight for a long time, the sunlight was just right, and she could still survive.
She didn't care who Tang Yu was anymore, because he was gone, and in the future, she would never have anything to do with this person again.
Su Wanning secretly swore that since she had lived a lifetime again, she would not be able to repeat the mistakes of the past, and in the future, she would rather spend the rest of her life with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha than believe in love or any man's nonsense.
"Wan Ning. A female voice came, an old woman's voice.
Su Wanning's figure was stunned, and this voice seemed to be very familiar.
She struggled to recall, recalling the past and present lives, whose voice was this?
Looking for the memories of the past life and thinking hard, this ...... Could it be the voice of a mother!
"Wanning, mother has made you suffer. ”
Looking up, an old couple stood not far from the prison, and the old woman had tears in her eyes. Her sideburns have turned white, and for Su Wanning, her green hair has turned into silver hair.
"Mother. ”
Memories of past and present lives are intertwined in her mind, how long has it been since she has seen her mother?
Two years?
Three years?
Five years?
In her previous life, it seemed that she had never met her mother since she married into the East Palace.
Married to He Yu, she was like a bird that had lost her shelter, she could only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, carrying everything alone, and she could no longer complain to her mother.
"Mother, Wanning misses you. ”
Saying that, Su Wanning ran to Mrs. Su's side and hugged her tightly, like a bird that was unfortunately lost and luckily returned to the nest, hugging her mother and crying bitterly.
