In the imperial study, the emperor was frowning.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lu has been kneeling outside for three hours, the emperor might as well be—" Xiao Lizi beside him asked tentatively.

The emperor knew his holy decree, this Lu Qingsong would definitely enter the palace to beg him to release him, but he didn't expect that not only Lu Qingsong, but also the guards and master of Pingyang Mansion came, and this Lu Qingsong came with an injury, which gave him a headache.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Xiao Lizi took the initiative to ask, "Why don't you go and persuade the slave?"

The emperor glanced at him, "How can Lu Qingsong be a person who can be dismissed in a few words?"

Xiao Lizi lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again.

"Let him kneel, if he can't hold on, he will naturally leave, after all, he is injured. "The emperor felt that he still couldn't be soft-hearted.

Soon, it was night again, and Lu Qingsong's face was already pale, and a trace of blood oozed from the wound that had not yet healed. The grandson opened the medicine box beside him and carefully tended the wound for Lu Qingsong. But after all, Lu Qingsong was just a weak scholar, he was tortured with a cane, and he knelt for another day, so it was inevitable that he was still a little weak, and the four guards hurriedly stepped forward to support Lu Qingsong.

At this time, in the prison, the door of Chen Jian's cell suddenly opened.

"You're so willing to bow down and confess?" Jinghua came in from outside the prison with an angry face.

When Jian Chen saw Jinghua, he hesitated, he didn't know if Jinghua was involved in the things planned by the emperor, because he couldn't figure out her intention to come this time.

"Aren't you strong in martial arts? Aren't you not afraid of power? Why don't you fight with the imperial brother and accept your fate here?"

Jinghua stepped forward and grabbed Jian Chen's collar, and said in her ear, "Brother Huang said that he would act tonight." Then she exclaimed, "You coward!"

Sure enough, have you been acting? Chen Jian was disappointed in his heart.

In his heart, Jinghua should be a hearty, willful and barbaric princess, daring to act, dare to be angry, and dare to speak out, but he didn't expect that she would also be involved in the conspiracy and battle in this deep palace.

Chen Jian secretly smiled bitterly at his innocence, and his eyes were extremely lonely.

It's okay, since we promised the emperor, let's act to the end.

Jian Chen pushed Jinghua away and said loudly, "What are you going to do!

Seeing Jian Chen's expression, Jinghua knew that he had already understood, "Dog minion, this princess likes you and looks up to you, so she dares to talk to me like this!"

With his eyebrows raised, Jian Chen pulled Jinghua over, and then grabbed her neck with his hand, "Like me? In front of the Queen Mother, didn't you say it? I'm just a toy for you, a doll that you can casually discard after playing! If it weren't for your reckless behavior, I wouldn't have been imprisoned for this, and Lord Lu wouldn't have been innocently affected." Today, even if I die, I will drag you to be buried with you!"

Chen Jian's words made Jinghua stunned.

Although Jinghua knew in her heart that Jian Chen was acting, she didn't know why she was very uncomfortable.

What the Queen Mother said in front of you, do you care a lot?

Does that mean that you already like me a little bit?

The movement in the prison soon attracted the jailers.

Jian Chen's expression froze, "Don't move, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" After speaking, he exerted force on his hand.

Jinghua said "um" very cooperatively.

When the jailer saw Jian Chen's move, he didn't dare to move.

"Anyone who dares to follow up will immediately want your princess to die!"

Jinghua looked at Jian Chen with an inexplicable feeling. Such a strong Chen Jian, she saw it for the first time.

Chen Jian held Jinghua hostage and quickly left the prison. He lightly lifted his internal strength, and the guards who followed him lost his trace in the blink of an eye.

Jinghua was carried by Jian Chen all the way, feeling like she was driving through the clouds.

The feeling of being close to Jian Chen like this was really good, she moved and leaned towards Jian Chen's body.

In a trance, Jian Chen had already crossed the city wall and slowly fell outside the palace wall.

"Princess, offended. Chen Jian put down Jinghua and hugged his fists.

Jinghua was calm, she glanced at Jian Chen, she seemed to have a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.

"Jian Chen, I—"

"The princess doesn't need to say much, Jian Chen understands. ”

"No, you don't understand. Jinghua wanted to explain.

What I did to you is true, I didn't lie to you, those words in front of the Queen Mother are also my words against my will, just to save you, this time I cooperated with the imperial brother to act, just to save your life, this qiē, do you understand?

"The princess should go back to the palace quickly, otherwise the Royal Forest Army will chase it out, and Jian Chen is afraid that his fists will be invincible. Without waiting for Jinghua to explain, Jian Chen turned around and wanted to leave.

"Jian Chen!" Jinghua shouted from behind.

Jian Chen stopped.

"Do you hate me?" Jinghua looked lonely.

"The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, Chen Jian is a little guard, how can he say that he hates it or not. Jian Chen turned his back to Jinghua, and his tone was cold.

Seeing Jian Chen's attitude, Jinghua knew that she still hurt him.

"There's one thing I think I should sue you. Jinghua saw that Jian Chen was leaving, and didn't want to deceive Jian Chen anymore.

"What's the matter?" Jian Chen still didn't turn around.

"Lord Lu-Lord Lu, he-" Jinghua wanted to speak and stopped.

Jian Chen turned around and looked at Jinghua fixedly, "What's wrong with Lord Lu?"

"Lord Lu has been kneeling outside the imperial study since the morning, and now-"

Lord Lu, are you really here?

Jinghua's words made Chen Jian have mixed feelings in his heart.

When he was in prison, he was afraid that with Lu Qingsong's personality, he would definitely not watch him be sentenced to death, but he didn't expect Lu Qingsong to come so quickly.

I'm just a little guard of yours, so why would you risk coming at the expense of yourself?

At this time, the palace was full of people, and the Praetorian Guards were looking for traces of Jinghua and Chen Jian, but what they didn't know was that Chen Jian had already left the palace with Jinghua.

And Lu Qingsong, who was kneeling outside the imperial study, also quickly got the news.

"Jian Chen escaped from prison and kidnapped the princess?" Hearing the news, Lu Qingsong's eyes widened.

Chen Jian, who has always followed the law and guarded justice, how could it be?

Gongsun and the four guards looked at each other, both skeptical about the veracity of the news.

"Chen Huwei is not this kind of person. Lu Qingsong said with certainty to Gonggong Li, who came to report the news.

Xiao Li Zi hurriedly said, "Oh, I said my lord, now that the emperor is already angry inside, my lord, let's leave quickly, otherwise I am afraid that it will affect the adult." ”

Lu Qingsong didn't move, he insisted on his beliefs.

As a member of the public family, Chen Jian will never know the law and break the law.

Xiao Lizi saw that he couldn't persuade Lu Qingsong, so he had to shake his head and hurriedly ran into the imperial study.

This qiē gave Chen Jian, who was watching from a distance, in full view.

Looking at the wound on Lu Qingsong's back and seeing his tightly knit brows, Jian Chen was in a very low mood. In the face of such an adult who treats him like a parent, Chen Jian really wants to sue him, but if he sues him, it is difficult to guarantee that Lu Qingsong will not find the emperor to reason, the consequences are unpredictable, and Chen Jian does not want to take risks.

However, seeing that Lu Qingsong had been kneeling outside the imperial study for himself like this, he still couldn't bear it.

Finally, after several contradictions, he still walked out of his hiding place and walked towards Lu Qingsong.

As soon as he took a few steps, the patrolling guards spotted him, and soon he was surrounded.

Jian Chen looked at the guards around him and didn't move.

The guards had long heard of Jian Chen's martial arts, and when they saw that he didn't move, they didn't move.

Lu Qingsong was surprised to see Jian Chen's appearance, he stood up with difficulty and walked towards him.

The emperor also quickly received the news in the imperial study and immediately rushed out.

Jian Chen said coldly in the encirclement, "I only need to say a few words to Lord Lu, and I will go back with you immediately." ”

The guards looked at each other, not daring to decide.

Lu Qingsong had already entered the encirclement, and the emperor also arrived at the same time.

"Escort Chen-" Lu Qingsong looked sad, "What they said is true, did you really escape from prison?"

The corners of Jian Chen's mouth moved, and he looked at the iron-looking emperor beside Lu Qingsong, knowing that he was annoyed that he had ruined his plan by going and returning.

"Your Excellency. Jian Chen ignored the emperor's angry face, but slowly knelt down facing Lu Qingsong, "Subordinates should be damned, even the lord." ”

The emperor was very annoyed when he saw Jian Chen ignoring him, "You all eat dry food, and you won't take this dog slave down for me!"

Jian Chen stood up and said coldly, "Whoever dares to act rashly, I will solve you emperor first!"

"Presumptuous!"

The guards froze, and the emperor was about to get angry when he heard Jian Chen's words. Caught off guard, Lu Qingsong beside him roared.

Chen Jian saw Lu Qingsong angry and froze in place.

"As a courtier, how dare you be so disrespectful to the emperor!" Lu Qingsong scolded sharply.

Jian Chen looked at Lu Qingsong, did not speak, and looked sad.

When the emperor saw Jian Chen's expression, he had mixed feelings in his heart, a small guard, who dared to resist the order, but obeyed the words of a mere governor.

Chen Jian looked at the people present and exhaled a long breath.

"Although Chen Jian is a person in the public family, he does not lose the arrogance of the rivers and lakes, one person does things and one person is responsible, today Chen Jian made a big mistake, if he wants to kill, he must listen to the respect, but I hope that the emperor will not ask Lord Lu to blame, otherwise, Chen Jian will protect the adult even if he fights to the death!"

Lu Qingsong was stunned, the emperor was also silent, and Jinghua, who came in a hurry, had a complicated expression.

Jian Chen kowtowed heavily to Lu Qingsong, stood up and walked briskly in the direction of the prison. The guards were stunned for a moment, then followed.

Lu Qingsong came back to his senses and knelt down to the emperor, "The ministers are not strict, ask for the same crime as Jian Chen!"

The emperor did not speak.

Gongsun Tzu and the four guards knelt down one after another, "The subordinates beg to be guilty of the same crime as Jian Chen!"

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched when he saw the group of people kneeling.

"Since Jian Chen made a mistake in the palace, it has nothing to do with you! You leave quickly, if you get entangled here, I will punish you together!" After speaking, he threw his sleeves angrily and left.

Lu Qingsong was still about to insist, and his grandson grabbed him, "My lord, let's go back to the house first." ”

Lu Qingsong didn't move.

"My lord, if it weren't for us coming to beg the emperor, perhaps, Escort Chen would have gone away. Gongsun said gloomily.

What Gongsun Tzu said, Lu Qingsong didn't know, but after many years of legal justice, he has always been angry about Chen Jian's escape.

"Escort Chen should know better than us. Now that we have been sentenced to death just because we have spoken out righteously, how can we bear it? The current situation has no room for change, and it is useless for us to stay here, so it is better to go back to our homes and think about countermeasures in detail. Gongsun Tzu comforted.

Lu Qingsong nodded, he was very entangled in his heart, he hoped that the emperor could release Jian Chen, but he knew that with the current form, this chance was very slim, but if Jian Chen was really sentenced to death, would he be able to watch Jian Chen go to death in order to keep these so-called legal principles? He was not sure, he was very unsure.

In the imperial study, the emperor's face was deep and terrifying.

Jinghua was also silent next to her.

"This Jian Chen, for the sake of Lu Qingsong, actually disobeyed my will. The Emperor finally spoke.

"Didn't the imperial brother already know his character? Otherwise, the imperial brother would not have been able to blackmail him with this. Jinghua said leisurely on the side.

With Lu Qingsong here, Jian Chen will never escape from prison again, so how can our plan be implemented?"

Jinghua frowned, "Brother Huang, why don't we give up." ”

The emperor's expression changed, "What did you say?"

"I always felt that what we were doing was very inauthentic, that we were using our power and the loyalty of a subordinate to force him to do what he didn't want to do. ”

"Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, how can Chen Jian's capital crime be exonerated against, besides, since he is a loyal minister, of course he has to sacrifice a qiē for the imperial court. The emperor was unimpressed.

Jinghua was silent.

Is that really the case? But why does her heart still hurt?

Chen Jian in the prison was full of grief in his heart, and Lu Qingsong's disappointed eyes and the look when he reprimanded him made Chen Jian feel embarrassed.

He risked his life to meet the emperor for the sake of dragging his injured body, but he broke his heart instead, which made Chen Jian's heart very uncomfortable.

He really wanted to leave, ignoring the emperor's so-called plans and conspiracies, but he couldn't, as soon as he left, it would inevitably affect Lu Qingsong. So, although I was depressed, I couldn't think of anything to do for a while.

While he was pondering, he suddenly felt a white shadow pass by.

He's coming?
