Hearing this, Concubine Ling rushed to Emperor Xuanhua's side with a pale face and raised her head, and said pitifully: "How can this be, could it be a mistake?

It seems that Concubine Ling really doesn't know, Emperor Xuanhua stroked her face lovingly and said: "You are in the deep palace, you don't know what is going on outside, this matter is indeed her doing, no one wronged her." ”

Seeing that Emperor Xuanhua didn't mention a word of blessing from beginning to end, Concubine Ling said in her heart that she was fortunate that she did not come forward to intercede, otherwise it would definitely be to make Your Majesty unhappy, and said sadly: "The younger brother of the poor concubine, who just asked to marry, who would have thought that the Tang family was so bold and reckless, and the concubine paid off His Majesty to spare her life, after all, she was the wife of the concubine's younger brother." ”

"The wrongful crimes committed by the Tang family are not to death, and the burned houses are still compensated, but if they burn Zhang Shangshu and Miss Xiahou Mansion, they must punish her in order to stop the mouths of the people of the two mansions. ”

"Why don't you let the Tang clan pour tea and apologize to the two young ladies in the mansion, does Your Majesty think this is okay?" Concubine Ling said.

"It depends on what they mean. "They are all their own courtiers, and the matter is not big, so you can't hurt the peace for this matter.

Seeing that His Majesty agreed with her statement, Concubine Ling thought that she would send a message back to the house, and she would go back after pestering her again.

On the second day, the crown princess came to Jingyang Palace to greet the queen, and Fulin, who ran the most diligently on weekdays, did not appear in Jingyang Palace.

The crown princess asked tentatively: "Queen Mother, my maiden niece was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department by the second emperor's brother, and the concubine wanted to ask the queen mother to rescue her." ”

Hearing the crown princess mention this matter, the queen was a little uncomfortable, after all, this matter was her own intercession in front of the emperor, so that she was exempted from Fulin's punishment and let the Tang family come out to confess.

"This palace has also heard about it, but now His Majesty has handed over this matter to the second child, and you also know that the second child and I are not close on weekdays, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so the palace is ...... here," the queen said with embarrassment.

"It's not a big deal, it's just an injury, Zhang Mansion and Xiahou Mansion are biting hard, it's not that they seem to be bullying too much!"

Speaking of this, Empress Chen also remembered that this matter was because the Tang clan injured the young lady and son of the two provinces, if the people in the two mansions were not investigated, then the Tang clan would come out smoothly soon.

After telling the princess what she meant in her heart, the princess said in embarrassment: "I heard that Zhang Gongzi was seriously injured, I don't know if he will spit out and agree." ”

"If you don't try, you can't bear to see your niece in a prison cell. Besides, with you supporting her in the future, can a mere courtier not give you face as a princess. "Emperor Chen saw that the crown princess seemed hesitant when she encountered something, and she didn't have the slightest boldness, she really didn't know how to sit in the East Palace, fortunately, she had a good grandson, otherwise the position of the crown princess would be in jeopardy.

"The queen mother has a point. "The crown princess thought about it, no matter what, Xiaoxiao is also her maiden niece, can't she give this face.

After the crown princess returned home, she summoned Tang Juntong to tell Tang Juntong the news she got from the queen, Tang Juntong's face darkened instantly, her sister's accident was still caused by Xiahou Shuang, and this account has not yet been settled, but now she is letting her sister bow her head and admit her mistakes, how can such a slap in the face be possible! I don't want to refuse directly.

The crown princess sighed and said: "My aunt knows that Xiaoxiao and Miss Xiahou have a deep grudge, and it is really embarrassing for her to come forward to apologize and thank her, but now that she is locked up in prison, can she just stay there just by watching her?"

Thinking of his sister who suffered from this, Tang Juntong instantly shook again, if he didn't bow his head, he would only keep it closed, when would he come out?

Tang Juntong was tormented in his heart, and when he thought of going to make amends to the two of them, he felt unwilling, so he waved his fist fiercely, and said with a painful look on his face: "Can you only apologize to her?"

The crown princess looked at Tang Juntong, who looked painful, and felt uncomfortable, but her niece was trampled on at will like this, blaming herself for her decline, unable to speak in front of the emperor and queen, thinking of the treatment she had suffered during this time, she felt helpless and sad.

Since the last time the Tang Mansion had an accident, the prince was disliked, most of the weekdays stayed in the side concubine's courtyard, nothing to do and never set foot here, the relationship between the husband and wife was as cold as ice, the princess bowed her head several times in exchange for the prince cold and indifferent, after a long time, the princess's heart was also cold, fortunately, there was a grandson around him who was deeply favored, and Emperor Xuanhua often called to stay in the palace on weekdays, otherwise his position would definitely be unstable.

Thinking of this, the princess cheered up and comforted: "Jun'er, the plan for today is to let Xiao'er come out first, and other things will be talked about later, don't be stupid." ”

Tang Juntong gradually calmed down and said, "Auntie, I want to meet my sister." ”

The crown princess nodded: "You wait for my news." ”

In the evening, Tang Juntong accompanied by a steward from the prince's mansion to the prison of the Criminal Department, the steward flashed the waist card on his body, and the cell leader led the two into the cell.

The prison was dark and cold, and the thick sour and unpleasant smell filled the air and was disgusting, and the people in the cell shook the cell door and stretched out their arms to shout grievances.

The cell boss knocked impatiently with a stick, and the more he went inside, the quieter it became, and when he came to a cell in the depths, the cell boss stopped, opened the door, and said, "Don't stay too long." ”

The steward of the prince's mansion stood quietly at the door, Tang Juntong walked in slowly, the cell could only put down a bed, the bucket in the corner emitted a foul and unpleasant smell, there was an old quilt piled on the dilapidated bed board, the person in the bedding heard the sound and slowly raised his head, opened his eyes without brilliance, and stared for a long time before he could see who was coming.

Tang Xiaoxiao screamed and rushed to Tang Juntong's side, pulling his sleeve tightly: "Brother, are you here to pick me up." ”

Tang Jun saw his sister's pale and dull face, a messy hair that had not been taken care of for a long time, and he hadn't seen his eyes sunken and bloodshot for a few days, revealing a pointed chin and bloodless lips.

Tang Juntong stroked her hair, and there was a sad look in his eyes: "You have suffered, and it is all because of your brother's incompetence that you suffered this." ”

"Brother, don't say such a thing, it's all Fu Lin's fault this time! When the street did something to Xia Hou Shuang, in the end, it caused me to go into the cell, and she was unharmed, it's really hateful!" Tang Xiaoxiao thought that he was pushed out to take the blame, but Fu Lin was at large, with a burst of resentment in his heart, and a fierce look on his face showed a fierce look.
