Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"No! Not really!"

"Then why are you in the same room?"

"Xiaozhi. You don't have enough money, so you can only rent a room, but you and I sleep in separate beds! There is a curtain between them."

"It's hard to explain why a man and a woman live in the same room! Liu Mei, you're still not telling the truth!"

"My lord! I have always abided by my duty, and I have never surpassed it in the slightest."

"Do you think the lonely king will believe you!"

"Speak the truth in my humble job!" Liu Mei kowtowed to the ground, "If there is half a lie in a humble job, you will die a terrible death!"

Defang got up and asked Nangong Wen to go to a distance and said, "Nangong, do you think what he said is true or not?"

"Based on his expression and the content and tone of what he said, the villain thinks it is true."

"Really? But... if His Majesty knew this, why did the lonely king ask him?"

"No, my lord, His Majesty wants you to investigate the sources of the rumors."

Defang thought for a while, "You mean, Your Majesty just wants to curb the rumors, not to investigate Liu Mei?"

"Yes, my lord."

"The lonely king really can't believe this, so what should we do now?"

"If the prince doesn't believe it, why not lie to him again."

"How to cheat him?"

"Let's just say that he is the one who spread the rumors, and he is going to be handed over to His Majesty for trial. If he tells a lie, he must be afraid. If it is true, of course he dares to face the saint."

"It makes sense, how will His Majesty explain it?"

"It's also the same. If His Majesty really knows, he will definitely tell the prince. If he doesn't know, he will be furious, and then Liu Mei will die."

"But what about tonight? Are you keeping him in prison?"

"No, no matter what, let him go."

"Let him go? How can that be?"

"If he admits it, the prince will immediately enter the palace to ask His Majesty for instructions. If he dares to face the saint, then let him go and let General Song stare at him. As long as he has a guilty conscience, he will definitely run away. It is best if nothing happens. Wait for the prince to enter tomorrow. The palace will ask His Majesty again."

"Okay." Defang nodded, "If Liu Mei is innocent, he should be let go. If he deceives the emperor, the death penalty is unforgivable. The lonely king will never let his affairs affect His Majesty."

Defang walked up to Liu Mei and said sharply, "Liu Mei! You have deceived the king, and your crime is unforgivable! The lonely king will tie you up before His Majesty, and ask you to die!"

Listening to this, Liu Mei supported her body and looked at De Fang, "Your Majesty, what the humble official said is true! As long as you come before His Majesty, Your Majesty can testify for the humble official."

"Bold!" Defang yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about! It's not a court, your Majesty is so honorable, how could he testify for you!"

Liu Mei was shocked, and kowtowed to the ground, "The humble official made a mistake! The humble official made a mistake!"

"Okay! You get up first."

Liu Mei stood up slowly, and De Fang said, "Tomorrow the lonely king will enter the palace to report your affairs to His Majesty. You stay in the mansion honestly and don't go anywhere."

"But. I have to go to the humble job tomorrow."

"Gu Wang will send someone to inform the Kaifeng Mansion to arrange other things for you, and others will not know."

"Yes." Liu Mei raised her head to look at Defang, "My lord. That's a humble job. You can do it now."

"Let's go, Jiajun, send him out of the house,"

"Yes." Jia Jun stretched out his hand, "Master Liu, please."

Liu Mei got up and cupped her hands, and hurried out of the prison. Jia Jun sent him out of the palace for a while, "Master Liu, please go back."

"Thank you, General Song." Liu Mei arched her hands and returned alone. At this time, he was sweating through his clothes and looked a little frightened. When the cold wind blew in the night, Liu Mei shivered a few times. She covered her clothes and trotted Then I went back to the house.And Jia Jun walked back for a while, then turned around and chased after him, guarding not far from Liu Mei's house.
