Chapter 120
Chapter 120
The old general followed the county magistrate back to the county office, and politely said to the county magistrate Ge: "The county magistrate can try as he pleases, I just listen in." The county magistrate Ge bowed and bowed, "Yes, the old man ordered it." Scalp took the courage to sit in the hall, and put a grand master's chair beside him for the old general to sit down and listen to the trial.As for Uncle Yu, although he has been implicated in a very serious case, he is still a Juren, and he does not need to kneel down when he sees the county magistrate. County magistrate Ge thought about it, and ordered the guards to move up a chair so that Uncle Yu could do the same. Sit down in the hall.
The guards lined up on both sides, and the master was next to him with a pen to prepare his statement. Everything was ready, and Magistrate Ge began to try the case.
"Mr. Yu, this county has arrested a Jiangyang thief named Liu San a few days ago. He has not been punished, but you are his accomplice. You have been secretly colluding with him for 15 years, hiding stolen goods, selling stolen goods, and hiding robbers for him. , conspiracy, can you plead guilty?" Magistrate Ge patted the gavel and asked loudly.
Slapping the gavel and questioning the prisoners, this was one of the most proud things he did after he became the county magistrate, and he was very high-spirited when he did it.
The old general frowned.
County Magistrate Ge felt uneasy, "It's because I slapped the gavel that the sound was so ear-piercing that I startled the old man? It's okay, it's a sin."
When he patted the gavel again, his movements were very gentle, and his voice was not loud at all.
Uncle Yu replied unhurriedly: "Master County Magistrate, I have never known a man named Liu San in my life, let alone colluded with any bandits."
County magistrate Ge glanced at the old general, frowning, "Since Mr. Yu doesn't know this Liu San, why did he insist that you are an accomplice? Do you know that he is very familiar with you, everyone and everything in the Yu family?" , like every treasure.”
Uncle Yu's tone was firm, "I really don't know Liu San."
County magistrate Ge ordered Liu San to be taken to confront Uncle Yu in court.
When Liu San was brought to the door by the guards, Uncle Yu glanced at him and felt sick.
Liu San was born with big arms and round waists, very thick, and he was tortured beyond recognition, which is really unbearable to watch.
"Eleventh Lang, don't blame me for betraying you." Liu San roguely grinned, "I also want to be a good man with loyalty, but I was beaten too hard, and I couldn't survive it. I confessed you. Eleven Lang, we have been brothers for many years, don't blame me."
——As if he was really familiar with Uncle Yu.
"Submit physical evidence," Magistrate Ge ordered.
The guard brought over a plate, which was full of brilliant jewels, and one could tell that it was worth a lot at a glance.
"I robbed all these and gave them to Eleven Lang." Liu San said carelessly: "He said that it is inconvenient to store them at home, so he asked me to keep them for him and give them to him later. By the way, I stole a few before. In the second tomb, I knew that Eleven Lang’s old man liked antiques, so I gave him a lot of bronze tripods. Damn, that tripod is so old, it almost exhausted me to death!”
"Nonsense!" Uncle Yu reprimanded angrily.
Old Mrs. Yu has a lot of bronze wares in his collection, let this bandit say that they are all given by him!
Liu San laughed loudly, "It's my fault for confessing to you, but Eleven Lang, if he did it, he did it, so don't insist on denying it."
Before he could stop laughing, an officer ran in with a panicked expression, regardless of who broke into the court or not, shouted profusely with sweat: "Master County, hurry up, His Royal Highness King Qin is here!"
"What?" Magistrate Ge couldn't sit still anymore, Huo Di stood up and asked tremblingly, "His Royal Highness King Qin?"
The officer had a bitter face, and replied with tears in his voice, "The county magistrate, it's His Royal Highness King Qin. He...he brought many people and surrounded the county government!"
Surrounded by a group of guards, a handsome young man wearing a scarlet military uniform entered the hall unimpeded.
He has a handsome face, but his expression is domineering, very defiant.
Magistrate Ge was so frightened that he started talking.
He had always heard that King Qin was a "virtuous king", but he didn't know that when this so-called virtuous king became majestic and anxious, he would be as powerful as a whirlwind.
Qin Wang strode towards the old general, his face was full of concern, "Grandfather, why did you startle me?"
The old general smiled kindly, "The girl from the Yu family has no one to ask for help, so I sent someone to Xishan Academy to look for Chang Ne, and here I am."
King Qin was not very happy, "If she hadn't lived in the countryside, why would there be no one to ask for help? My little sister always thinks about her, and I don't want to bother her, so I'm anxiously waiting for the three-year term to expire."
The old general raised his hand to signal him not to continue talking, King Qin looked at the lonely chair in the hall, and there was a person sitting on the chair, nearly 40 years old, elegant and gentle, he reckoned that this was the father of the little girl from the Yu family, Knowing that his grandfather didn't want to offend him, he reluctantly sat down and didn't continue what he said just now.
The old general was still very kind, but he just wanted to attend the trial of the county magistrate, but the king of Qin was much more overbearing. The people he brought surrounded the county government office and began to search.Not to mention, two cruel instruments of torture that were lucky enough to be made, and a written confession were found. The confession stated that Yu Tai had colluded with Jiangyang robbers in his early years, harbored stolen goods and other crimes. , the next thing is to wait for Uncle Yu to press his fingerprints - as long as his fingerprints are pressed, it means that he has confessed his crime.
Liu San is a real bandit, and he insists that Uncle Yu has known him for many years and has been in close contact with him; there are also "stolen goods" as evidence, all of which are priceless jewels, which are rewards for Uncle Yu from the bandits; if Uncle Yu presses his fingerprints again , That is, the witnesses and physical evidence are all available, and I also plead guilty, and I am doomed.
Qin Wang was very angry, "Who is so deliberate to harm the Yu family? If the father knows that someone is going to deal with his daughter-in-law like this, Longyan will be furious. If this king only investigated such a small matter, and did not dig out the person behind it , father will not agree."
The old general had a very violent temper when he was young, but his temperament has become much milder in recent years, and now he couldn't help getting angry, his face sank, "First subdue Mr. Yu, and then deal with his family members, right? What a vicious mind."
Originally, he felt that San Lang was pitiful, but now that someone treats the girl San Lang likes like this, he is even more angry.
Uncle Yu looked at the "witnesses", "physical evidences" and "crimes" that were brought in one after another, and the two instruments of torture that made people shudder at first sight, his back felt cold, and his whole body felt cold.If Linglong hadn't tried every means to procrastinate and ask for help, she would have been tortured to extract a confession as soon as she arrived at the county yamen, and then the yamen would search for the family members, wives, and children of Jiangyang's robbers, and none of them could escape. "It doesn't matter if I die, if Atao and Long'er also fall into the hands of these people..." He shivered, closed his eyes, and didn't dare to think about it.
Qin Wang discussed with the old general, "Grandfather, you are not good at investigating cases, don't waste your time here, go back and rest. I will leave this place to me." The old general smiled at him, "Don't take this opportunity Naughty, Your Majesty knows, and I can’t spare you.” Qin Wang said indifferently, “A few days ago I went to play chess with my father, guess what he said to me before leaving? I was not mischievous in my early years, but I grew up suddenly.' It seems very regrettable. Grandfather, I am very filial, so I will be naughty and not let him down." The old general couldn't help but laugh.
The queen sent a servant and an imperial physician over, "I heard that your old man is galloping in the starry night, and the empress is very worried. Father, please do me a favor and go back to the palace with your servant." The servant begged with a smile on her face.
The old general tanned slightly, "Have I grown up like this? I didn't fight a war, but I just rode a horse, as if something big happened."
Even so, knowing that the queen was worried about him, she followed the servant into the car.
Before leaving, he confessed to King Qin, "Erlang, I promised the little girl from the Yu family to take care of her father." King Qin smiled, "What kind of temper is the third brother, do you dare not take care of his father-in-law? Grandfather, don't worry." The old man The general patted him, bid farewell to Uncle Yu, and left.
Magistrate Ge's intestines are full of regret.
How could the fat get in the way and think that the Yu family is just an ordinary family?His Royal Highness King Qin said that it was his third brother's father-in-law!The girl on the bridge who looks like a god of Luo is really a rare beauty in the world. It turns out that she is... Well, only King Zhou is worthy of such a character.
King Qin threw the confession in front of County Magistrate Ge, "Look at the ink on it, it was definitely not written today. The confession was written before Mr. Yu arrived. What's going on, tell the truth!"
County magistrate Ge was in a cold sweat and kowtowed repeatedly, "Yes, I said it, I said it all!"
County Magistrate Ge confessed Yin Weichen of Shuntian Mansion, and Wei Mansion Yin confessed Princess Yaze. The case became more and more complicated.
The King of Qin was very patient, and after carefully interrogating the Minister of Wei, he invited Princess Zeya over.
King Qin lived in the county office for several days, wrote down the progress of the day in his own hand every day, and reported it to the emperor and queen in the palace.
The emperor was furious, "How could the youngest son's father-in-law collude with bandits? This false accuser is too hateful!" After knowing that he had something to do with Princess Zeya, the emperor looked coldly, "Zeya, you really don't put me in the right place. It's in my eyes."
The queen was very happy, "Fortunately, the little girl from the Yu family was smart and knew to ask her father for help, and everyone was safe and sound. Your Majesty, apart from the fatigue of my father, there is nothing else."
"How could it be nothing?" The emperor was displeased, "My daughter-in-law must have been frightened."
The queen was in a heavy mood, but after hearing what His Majesty said, she wanted to laugh for some reason.
The emperor was completely unaware of her emotions, sat down beside her, and said restlessly: "Sister, it's also my fault for not thinking carefully about this matter, and not transferring Zeya away early."
"How can this be your fault?" the queen comforted him, "Zeya would be so mad, who would have imagined it?"
It's unbelievable that she actually killed someone because of her daughter's ability to become the princess of Zhou.
The servant brought up an urgent report, and the emperor opened it, "Little Sanzi is returning to Beijing quickly, and we will see him soon."
"Really?" On the queen's smooth and beautiful face, a happy smile bloomed.
The emperor thought for a while, and ordered: "Order the King of Zhou to return to Beijing slowly, and don't gallop his horse."
The waiter agreed and went out.
"He won't listen to what you said." The queen joked.
"If he doesn't listen to me, I will say it." The emperor was very stubborn.
The empress made fun of him, saying that he was an infatuated father. The emperor didn't think he was disobedient at all, and said happily, "How can parents not be infatuated?"
King Zhou was on his way back to Beijing, and King Qin was sparing no effort to investigate this strange case that fell from the sky.Gradually, Princess Zeya, Song Changqing, and even the Guan family gradually surfaced, and things became clearer.
Near the end of the case, something went wrong.Princess Zeya resorted to her trump card and handed over a gangster surnamed Chen, named Asi, "His surname is Chen, he has fallen in Baiwang Mountain, and he has seen Yu Tai enter the cottage to collude with bandits, and the leader of the bandit is King Chen." son!"
Uncle Yu was stubborn, and in order to prove his innocence, he did not hesitate to die and slammed his head against the hard wall.
The king of Qin turned pale with fright, and hurriedly ordered for medical treatment. Although his life was not harmed, he was seriously injured and unconscious.
"Will the third brother fight with me when he comes back?" King Qin was very annoyed.
He had maintained superficial politeness to Princess Zeya before. After Uncle Yu was injured, he didn't even talk about face. He detained Song Changqing, Chen Asi and others in isolation, interrogated their confessions, and photographed them directly in front of Princess Zeya. .
Chen Ah Si is indeed a bandit, but he is not from the Chen family village in Baiwang Mountain, but was bribed by Princess Zeya.
"Princess Zeya, you colluded with the officials, bribed the bandits, and wanted to put Yu Tai to death. Isn't it too vicious?" King Qin raised his eyebrows aggressively.
As a nephew of the King of Qin, he didn't show affection at all, and Princess Zeya became furious, "I know why you did this, it's just because Yu Tai was injured, and it's hard for you to explain it when you go back! But don't think about it, if no one in the Yu family leaks the secret, No one betrayed, how did this happen? The Yu family asked for it!" Then he defended himself, "How would I know that Chen Ahsi lied? It was just a momentary oversight!"
Because of Princess Zeya's words, the King of Qin also found out what the Guan family did.
After the matter was clarified, the King of Qin returned to the palace and said, "Father, my son is useless. The case has been clarified, but...Mr. Yu was injured..." The emperor looked at him speechlessly for a long while, "You haven't been naughty for a few years, Once you are naughty, you will cause me a lot of trouble." King Qin was very ashamed.
It's not really his fault.Uncle Yu is a very gentle and refined person, who has always defended himself with reason and evidence. He is neither humble nor overbearing, and calm and composed even to a nobleman like Princess Zeya. Who would have thought that he would suddenly seek death?No defense at all.
The emperor looked at the map on the wall and calculated King Zhou's itinerary, "When your third brother comes back, it should be all right, right?"
King Qin rolled up his sleeves, "I haven't had a serious fight with my third brother for several years, this time... this time..."
The emperor glared at him so hard that he dropped his sleeves and lowered his head in despair.
It was the queen who had an idea, Shi Shiran came over and reminded them with a smile, "It's not Mr. Yu that Sanlang admires, but a little girl from the Yu family." It's his little girl, not her father!"
Uncle Zhong brought Yu Chang and Yu Yan back to Yujia Village the next day. Mrs. Qiao was uneasy at first, but seeing her two sons comforted her a lot.
Linglong sent people to the county government office every day to inquire about the news. Knowing that King Qin personally tried the case, Uncle Yu had always been respected, and gradually she became less worried.However, if Uncle Yu didn't come back safely for a day, she, her mother, and brothers would not be at ease for a day.
Knowing that Song Changqing, Princess Zeya and others were involved in the case, Linglong's heart sank, and she blamed herself secretly, "Yu Linglong, your vigilance is still too low. These two people have clearly harbored ill intentions, and you are not have no idea."
On this day, news of Uncle Yu suddenly disappeared, and King Qin had returned to the palace to return to his command. Linglong didn't know what the final result would be, so she felt anxious.
Logically speaking, it should be fine, but the world is unpredictable, if Princess Zeya and Song Changqing really have some powerful tricks, wouldn't the Yu family suffer a loss?
A team of servants arrived at Yujia Village, passed on the emperor's oral order, and Xuan Linglong entered the palace.
Qiao Shi, Yu Chang, and Yu Yan were naturally worried, but Linglong comforted them, "Your Majesty is a wise king, don't worry, it must be a good thing for me to enter the palace. Mother, eldest brother and second brother, you can rest assured and wait at home for my good news. "
Linglong wore homely clothes and boarded the palace carriage.
The road is very long, entering the city, entering the Forbidden City, and then walking after entering the Forbidden City. The endless corridors and overlapping palaces are resplendent and magnificent.
The gate is small, and I don't know how many gates I passed before I arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
In front of such a palace, Linglong felt very small.
At this moment, she somewhat understood why Uncle Yu would try his best to oppose her and King Zhou—she was as insignificant in front of King Zhou as she was in front of this palace, without any resistance.
Linglong was brought in.
The hall is tall and wide, the ground paved with golden bricks, painted with auspicious flowers, Linglong did not dare to raise her head, she glanced at the blurred outlines of the desks from the corner of her eyes, and felt that these desks should be made of special wood, giving people a sense of auspiciousness. A sense of solemnity and tranquility.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Yu San brought you here." The servant replied.
Linglong saluted like a ritual, her heart was pounding, the supreme ruler of the empire, the head of state who holds the power of life and death... I have never seen a person with such an identity in my previous life and this life, and it is a lie to say that I am not nervous.
"Raise your head and let me take a look." A cheerful male voice said.
Linglong raised her head slowly, and a familiar face appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't help shouting: "Wang Xiaosan, why are you here? You... aren't you... in Beiye City?" Due to his own impoliteness, his voice gradually lowered, and he lowered his head timidly.
The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up, and he asked the queen in a low voice, "Do I look alike to the third son? How similar?" The queen smiled, "If you are more than 20 years younger, standing next to the third son, it is really difficult to tell the difference." The emperor smiled more and more.
The queen stood up slowly and walked down the steps.
Linglong saw half of the graceful and gorgeous vermilion embroidered robe with golden embroidered cloud clouds, pheasants and bird patterns move down the high steps step by step, and came in front of her.
Linglong's nervous mouth felt a little dry, and her palms were sweating a little.
"Get up." The queen stretched out a slender hand to Linglong.
Linglong put her hand on her and stood up, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.
Before that, Mrs. Qiao was the most beautiful mother she had ever seen in this world. The gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman in front of her was a little less feminine and more glamorous than Qiao's. Reflecting people, the world is different.
The queen looked at Linglong carefully, with a smile in her eyes, "No wonder."
She held Linglong's hand, and blinked at the emperor, her expression clearly said, "Look, no wonder our little third son has been thinking about it all the time, this little girl is so beautiful and beautiful, no wonder!"
The emperor smiled happily, and nodded happily.
A beautiful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old Yingying came over and pouted her mouth, "I thought you were pretty good when I corresponded with you before, but when I met you, I don't like you anymore!"
Seeing her delicate and charming, Linglong inexplicably felt close to her, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's fine if you don't like me, this doesn't prevent me from continuing to like you."
Princess Yongning grinned, pushed the Queen's hand away graciously, and pulled Linglong up by herself, "Do you know why I don't like you when I see you? You are so beautiful that I can't be compared to you. I'm jealous of you!"
She had a bright smile on her face, innocent and amiable, but she wanted to say, "I'm jealous of you".
"To each other." Linglong smiled, "When Her Highness the Princess came in front of me, my eyes lit up."
"Really? Really?" Princess Yongning looked excited, "I really made your eyes shine?"
"It's more radiant than the brightest luminous pearl." Linglong said firmly.
Princess Yongning smiled happily.
The emperor looked at the three beauties in the palace, his wife, youngest daughter, and daughter-in-law who was about to enter, and his heart was full of joy.
After being happy, he had to face some embarrassing things.
He recruited Shi, the governor of King Qin's residence, and ordered him to tell the truth about Yu Tai's case.
Linglong heard that her father wanted to prove her innocence by death, and now she is unconscious, with tears streaming down her face.
"Your Majesty, let my father go home, let my mother and my brothers take care of him, he will be fine." Linglong choked up and begged.
"Sure." The emperor naturally agreed.
Princess Yongning comforted Linglong sympathetically, and Linglong burst into tears, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being in the mood at the moment - until my father wakes up, I may not be in the mood for doing anything, I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for, silly words." Princess Yongning shook her lightly.
"My second brother is too embarrassed to see you." Princess Yongning whispered.
"No, it has nothing to do with His Highness King Qin." Linglong shook her head quickly, "I know my father's temper, he is very kind and stubborn, if he has made up his mind, no one can make him change his mind. "
The emperor and queen were very pleased.
It's obvious that Linglong loves her father, but she didn't just blame or vent her anger on others just because her father was hurt.
"A sensible and good boy." They couldn't be more satisfied with Linglong.
Uncle Yu was moved to the Yu family, Qiao Shi and Yu Chang and Yu Yan also came from the old house to take care of him personally.
Uncle Yu was lying on the bed, his face was pale, even his lips were bloodless, he was a different person in peacetime.
Yu Chang, Yu Yan and Linglong were all worried that Qiao Shi would pass out from grief, but she didn't.She slowly sat down by the bed, her eyes were gentle, "Eleventh Lang, you were the one who took care of me in the past, this time, it's my turn to take care of you."
Linglong turned her back, covered her mouth with her hand, and tried her best not to let herself cry.
Yu Chang and Yu Yan also shed tears silently.
But Qiao Shi didn't cry. She patiently fed Uncle Yu medicine one mouthful at a time. When she wasn't giving the medicine, she sat on the edge of the bed, held his hand, and talked about their past in a gentle breeze, "...the first time I I was a child when I saw you. I don’t have a good memory, but I always remember what you were like at that time. I was so bored in the room that day, I sneaked out without telling the nurse and Aunt Xuan, two relatives’ boys My son bullied me, I was so frightened that I cried, you beat the two of them by yourself, drove the two bad boys away, and squatted down to coax me when you were beaten black and blue. Eleven Lang, you were so beautiful at that time ..."
Linglong often burst into tears.
The King of Qin threw Song Changqing's crimes to the Marquis Heqing, "If you follow this king, the crimes of this kind of person should be made public and executed according to the law! However, Your Majesty is kind, and because of your meritorious service in saving him, I allow you to punish him yourself. "
Song Changqing has been adopted by Marquis He Qing, who is his daughter.If his daughter was brought to the yamen for public questioning and beheading, then the reputation of Heqinghou's mansion would be damaged, and he would be ashamed to go out to meet people in the future.The same death, the emperor asked him to execute Song Changqing quietly, but gave him dignity.
He Qinghou was sweating coldly, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Chen Song Li, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
For Song Changqing, if he did such a thing, he would not be able to implicate the Marquis of Heqing. It was a blessing among misfortunes for him.
Marquis He Qing knew that the matter was serious, and even Mrs. Su was worried, so he personally took the white silk and placed it in front of Song Changqing, "You can end it yourself. Sister Qing, father and daughter, I will leave a whole body for you."
Unwilling to die, Song Changqing knelt in front of Marquis Heqing's knees and begged, "Father, you are my father, don't you just watch your daughter die?"——If Mrs. Tai was here, Song Changqing's begging Maybe it is still useful to make Mrs. Tai soften her heart and change her mind, but Marquis Heqing is hard-hearted. Thinking about the emperor's oral order and King Qin's anger, he felt fear, so how could there be room for change?Seeing that Song Changqing had been dawdling, impatient, he simply tied the white silk on the beam with his own hands, lifted Song Changqing, stood on the table, and forced her neck into it.
Afterwards, He Qinghou jumped down and kicked the table away.
Song Changqing struggled desperately, kicking with both feet, his shape was very pitiful.
She did not break free from the shackles of fate, and finally left this world lonely.
After her death, probably only Mrs. Tai was really sad for her.Because of her death, Mrs. Tai fell ill and was bedridden, and almost survived.
Qiao stayed with Uncle Yu during the day and refused to leave at night, so he built a bed in his room and lived in the same room with him.
Her daily use is a canopy bed with carved lotus and lotus seeds on the moon gate, which is spacious and comfortable, beautifully laid out, and very particular.If she changed the bed, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep easily, but now she didn't notice it at all, and couldn't care about it.
"Eleventh Lang, I'm so bored if you don't talk to me." She held Uncle Yu's hand and talked to him softly.
Uncle Yu's hand trembled.
She patted his hand and said angrily: "What's the use of shaking your hands? Shishi Lang, you can just talk to me."
"...Okay..." Uncle Yu opened his mouth with difficulty and spit out a word.
"Eleventh Lang, you have spoken, you really have spoken!" Qiao Shi was overjoyed.
Uncle Yu nodded with his eyes closed, a tear fell from his eye...
He is getting better every day.
Like her two elder brothers, Linglong was dizzy with joy.
Uncle Yu is slowly recovering, and Linglong is also in the mood to deal with some things that must be dealt with.
Jingxi came back several times to ask to see Linglong but didn't see her, but today, Tang Xiaoming let her in.
Jing Xi, the young girl who had just been engaged to Song Changlin not long ago, looked haggard, "Linglong, my mother is locked up, do you know? You...you are a lot of adults, please save her!"
She gritted her teeth, a look of determination flashed across her face, and suddenly she knelt down in front of Linglong, "I begged my father, but my father was very troubled and never agreed to me. Although he didn't agree to me, I know he was heartbroken and very Uncomfortable! Linglong, my father and my mother are a married couple and have always been very close. How heartbroken it is for him to lock up my mother. He is your good uncle, right? Linglong, even if you don’t see it for my sake For your uncle's sake, let my mother go!"
Her eyes flickered, she turned her head away, as if she also knew that she was not authentic, and said hesitantly: "My mother was wrong, but...but...uncle is fine, right?"
Linglong fixed her eyes on her, and her anger rose little by little.
So it turns out that my father survived a catastrophe, so you feel that everything in the past can be written off!
Do you know how I feel when I try to delay time, when I am anxiously waiting for reinforcements?I thought about what kind of danger my father might face once he was sent to the police, and he was cold all over, couldn't eat and sleep, and felt uneasy. My father was so concerned about his family, and he was in danger. What he worried about was not to Injure the family, don't injure the tribe, but you treat him like this!He turned around before the gate of hell, and you said lightly about such a serious matter, "Uncle is fine, isn't he?"
Yu Jingxi, you are shameless.
Jingxi saw Linglong's chest rising and falling but did not speak, and looked at her patiently, "Linglong, you can't kill without nodding your head! I'm already on my knees begging you, what else do you want?"
——Bah, it turns out that you have harmed people to this extent, as long as you kneel down and beg, others should forgive you.
Linglong held back the disgust in her heart and clapped her hands. Tang Xiaoming walked in from the outside, and Linglong ordered: "Take her, let's go and see Mrs. Guan."
"See what my mother is doing?" Jingxi didn't cover her face any more, she put down her hands with a look of panic.
Linglong ignored her and went out the door.
Tang Xiaoming supported Jingxi tightly, and followed Linglong.
Arriving in front of a remote and simple house, Linglong stopped in her tracks.
The old lady at the door took out the key and opened the door, and Linglong, Tang Xiaoming, and Yu Jingxi entered the room.
The room was very empty, with only a simple bed, an old table and a chair in front of the window, and nothing else.
Guan Shi sat on the chair in a daze, saw Linglong, and smiled sarcastically.
Seeing Jingxi who came in last with a panicked expression, her eyes softened, and there was still a faint smile on her lips.
"I've always wondered why you mother and daughter are so impatient." Linglong sneered, "Don't you know that as long as you wait patiently for a year or two, Yu Jingxi will find a good marriage? "
Yu Linglong became the concubine of Zhou, so how could no one care about Yu Jingxi.The king of Zhou is His Majesty's beloved son, the crown prince and his mother's brother. To marry Yu Jingxi is to be brother-in-law with the king of Zhou.Song Changlin was just a possible heir of the Marquis of Heqing, but as long as he waited two more years, it would not be difficult for Yu Jingxi to marry into which Marquis.
Guan smiled sarcastically, "First of all, I don't know if you can really be the princess of Zhou? The king of Zhou likes you, we know, but the family background of the Yu family is really not suitable for the king of Zhou! In the past, the king of Zhou was also attentive to you. You, Princess Yongning all look at you differently, so that's all, no one cares about you in the past two or three years! Your Majesty, Queen, King Zhou, Princess Yongning, who has ever cared about you?"
"Secondly, even if you really become the princess of Zhou, will you definitely help Xiaoxi? Yu Linglong, you won't! Xiaoxi only occasionally slips a word, but once you make a mistake, you just hold on to it. Cut off her contact with the Song family and the Xu family! You have lived in seclusion in the countryside for more than two years, do you know what kind of life Xiaoxi has lived? The city is getting more and more prosperous every day, but she is getting more and more deserted every day! Yu Linglong, this It's all because of you. With a person like you, do you still expect you to support sisters in the future? What a joke!"
Linglong looked at her coldly, "So, you are justified in killing me, right?"
Since Linglong came in, Guan seems to have been very calm. Hearing Linglong's words, she suddenly became nervous and screamed: "I caused you! It has nothing to do with Xiaoxi! Yu Linglong, what are you doing to me?" Come on, don't torture my child!"
Her eyes were full of fear.
Linglong was unmoved, and asked word by word: "It's not like you don't know how brotherly my father and my uncle are! When my uncle fell into the mountain village, it was my father who went into the mountain alone to save him regardless of his own safety. Yes! Auntie, my father treated my uncle like this, but you almost killed my father, don’t you feel any guilt at 01:30?"
"Don't mention it, it makes me feel uncomfortable when I mention it." Guan's expression was disgusted. "At that time, I had a big belly and I was more stupid than usual, so I just let your mother steal all the limelight! Chaos, but she is lucky, took the opportunity to show her magnanimity and generosity, and took out several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry at once, without any distress! I am the one who is capable, I am the housekeeper, and I am the one who praises her relatives and friends. She is usually a A useless cripple, but that day, I was so disgraced by her that I was ashamed to see others!"
Linglong opened her eyes wide and looked at Guan Shi, feeling that she had really opened her eyes today.
It was Qiao's jewelry and Uncle Yu's bravery that saved Erye Yu and her husband's life. The woman in front of him was not grateful, but hated Qiao because Qiao had compared her!
Who are these people?
"What is my uncle in your heart?" Linglong asked softly.
What is your husband to you?
He is neither rich nor expensive, but he is very gentle and considerate to you. Among other things, you only gave birth to two daughters, and he has no sons in his 30s. Don't be moved - he treats you well, doesn't he?
"Seventeen Lang, he is the husband I have been betrothed to since I was a child." Guan wanted to laugh, but his eyes streamed down, "He is good for everything, but he is worthless, and he can't earn me glory. Wealth and honor can't give your daughter a good future. He's fine in small things, but you can't count on him in big things, it's all up to me."
"Do you know why I risked my life to make such a deal with Princess Zeya? I don't want Xiaoxi to live a life like mine anymore! The city is full of wealth and wealth, but none of it has anything to do with me. I can only live in poverty day after day. I have had enough, I have really had enough, Xiaoxi can't be like me, must not be like me..."
There was a muffled hum from outside.
Linglong was vigilant, and walked out quickly, only to see Erye Yu standing outside the door blankly, with a dazed and painful expression.
This is how his wife who has lived together for more than ten years thinks of him. Can he bear it?Linglong felt distressed, ran over to support him, and comforted him in a low voice, "Uncle, she...it's not that she doesn't like you, it's just that she wants to be rich and famous..."
Second Master Yu smiled bitterly, "Little Linglong, stop talking, uncle understands."
He patted Linglong's little hands, turned around, and walked out with one deep foot and one shallow foot.
Guan Shi and Jingxi also ran to the door to look out when they heard the sound. Seeing Erye Yu's back, they also guessed that he heard it, and at the same time their faces turned pale.
Guan shi slumped on the ground helplessly.
"Seventeen Lang, you won't forgive me, will you?" She was on the verge of crying.
Erye Yu gave Guan a letter of divorce, "Since following me makes you suffer so much, I won't delay you, let's make a difference."
Guan's family accepted the letter of divorce, with a strange smile on his lips, "Seventeen Lang, I am your man in life, and your ghost in death."
That night, she hanged herself.
Her death was not at the right time, because the two daughters were engaged, and she had to keep a filial piety for her after her death, so she couldn't leave the cabinet as scheduled.
It's easy to say.The old man of the Yun family came to the door with his grandson, and the old man Yu called Jing Jia to Jinshizhai. The shy Yun Yunyi said three words softly in front of the two grandfathers, "I'll wait for you."
Although it was so low that it was almost inaudible, and there were three words Liao Liao again, when Jing Jia heard it, a shy red cloud appeared on her face.
Marquis Heqing has only one heir, and he is still looking forward to his early marriage so that he can spread the branches and leaves for the big house. Knowing that Mrs. Guan is dead, Jingxi is a little shaken because he wants to keep his filial piety.Song Changlin was unwilling, "There is a matchmaker, and the marriage letter is also written. Although they are not married, they are already husband and wife. Besides, how can there be a reason why the husband's family should withdraw the engagement when the woman's family suffers a funeral? How cruel and heartless. This If the matter is spoken out, it will be the easiest to be criticized by others, and the reputation will be damaged even more." He Qinghou regretted it a little at this moment, "The reason for adopting him is because he is good-natured and has the style of being a mother. You know, he is the same as his own mother, he will not give up until the Yellow River, and he will not give up when he reaches the Yellow River!"
Because Song Changlin's reasons were very righteous, and the emperor treated Yu's family very preferentially, it seemed that Linglong would be the princess of Zhou sooner or later, so she couldn't easily offend Yu's family.In this way, the matter of retiring the engagement will be delayed and gradually not mentioned.
Not only that, Song Changlin, who has always been polite, also sent Mrs. Su a personal letter to Jing Xi, telling her not to worry, the Song family will marry as scheduled.After reading the letter, Jing Xi was both moved and sad, and hid alone and cried bitterly.
The death of Guan Shi made her heartbroken, but because of Song Changlin, new hope was ignited in her heart.
Erye Yu is not completely suspicious of Jingxi, but he can be ruthless towards Guan Shi, but he can't bear Jingxi at all.He smiled wryly and said to Linglong: "Little Linglong, uncle is sorry for you. Uncle is very heartbroken when Mrs. Guan is gone, but he can bear it. If it is not enough to change Xiaoxi, I would rather die myself a thousand times or ten thousand times than I would like to move a hair of my little Xie."
"Uncle, you're overthinking. I believe Second Sister didn't think about harming me, really." Second Master Yu seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, Linglong couldn't bear it, and comforted him softly.
Second Master Yu's eyes glowed with new brilliance, "Really? Xiao Linglong, I think so, Xiaoxi is different from her mother, she is still a flower-like child, and she won't intentionally harm anyone!"
Linglong smiled and nodded.
——These are all things for later.
Uncle Yu's health is getting worse day by day, and King Zhou is about to arrive in the capital.
Princess Yongning sent someone to deliver a letter, "My third brother should arrive in the northern suburbs early tomorrow morning."
"I promised to go pick him up." When Linglong received the letter, she remembered her previous promise, and felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
It is happiness to be waited for by someone, and it is also happiness to wait for someone.
(End of this chapter)
The old general followed the county magistrate back to the county office, and politely said to the county magistrate Ge: "The county magistrate can try as he pleases, I just listen in." The county magistrate Ge bowed and bowed, "Yes, the old man ordered it." Scalp took the courage to sit in the hall, and put a grand master's chair beside him for the old general to sit down and listen to the trial.As for Uncle Yu, although he has been implicated in a very serious case, he is still a Juren, and he does not need to kneel down when he sees the county magistrate. County magistrate Ge thought about it, and ordered the guards to move up a chair so that Uncle Yu could do the same. Sit down in the hall.
The guards lined up on both sides, and the master was next to him with a pen to prepare his statement. Everything was ready, and Magistrate Ge began to try the case.
"Mr. Yu, this county has arrested a Jiangyang thief named Liu San a few days ago. He has not been punished, but you are his accomplice. You have been secretly colluding with him for 15 years, hiding stolen goods, selling stolen goods, and hiding robbers for him. , conspiracy, can you plead guilty?" Magistrate Ge patted the gavel and asked loudly.
Slapping the gavel and questioning the prisoners, this was one of the most proud things he did after he became the county magistrate, and he was very high-spirited when he did it.
The old general frowned.
County Magistrate Ge felt uneasy, "It's because I slapped the gavel that the sound was so ear-piercing that I startled the old man? It's okay, it's a sin."
When he patted the gavel again, his movements were very gentle, and his voice was not loud at all.
Uncle Yu replied unhurriedly: "Master County Magistrate, I have never known a man named Liu San in my life, let alone colluded with any bandits."
County magistrate Ge glanced at the old general, frowning, "Since Mr. Yu doesn't know this Liu San, why did he insist that you are an accomplice? Do you know that he is very familiar with you, everyone and everything in the Yu family?" , like every treasure.”
Uncle Yu's tone was firm, "I really don't know Liu San."
County magistrate Ge ordered Liu San to be taken to confront Uncle Yu in court.
When Liu San was brought to the door by the guards, Uncle Yu glanced at him and felt sick.
Liu San was born with big arms and round waists, very thick, and he was tortured beyond recognition, which is really unbearable to watch.
"Eleventh Lang, don't blame me for betraying you." Liu San roguely grinned, "I also want to be a good man with loyalty, but I was beaten too hard, and I couldn't survive it. I confessed you. Eleven Lang, we have been brothers for many years, don't blame me."
——As if he was really familiar with Uncle Yu.
"Submit physical evidence," Magistrate Ge ordered.
The guard brought over a plate, which was full of brilliant jewels, and one could tell that it was worth a lot at a glance.
"I robbed all these and gave them to Eleven Lang." Liu San said carelessly: "He said that it is inconvenient to store them at home, so he asked me to keep them for him and give them to him later. By the way, I stole a few before. In the second tomb, I knew that Eleven Lang’s old man liked antiques, so I gave him a lot of bronze tripods. Damn, that tripod is so old, it almost exhausted me to death!”
"Nonsense!" Uncle Yu reprimanded angrily.
Old Mrs. Yu has a lot of bronze wares in his collection, let this bandit say that they are all given by him!
Liu San laughed loudly, "It's my fault for confessing to you, but Eleven Lang, if he did it, he did it, so don't insist on denying it."
Before he could stop laughing, an officer ran in with a panicked expression, regardless of who broke into the court or not, shouted profusely with sweat: "Master County, hurry up, His Royal Highness King Qin is here!"
"What?" Magistrate Ge couldn't sit still anymore, Huo Di stood up and asked tremblingly, "His Royal Highness King Qin?"
The officer had a bitter face, and replied with tears in his voice, "The county magistrate, it's His Royal Highness King Qin. He...he brought many people and surrounded the county government!"
Surrounded by a group of guards, a handsome young man wearing a scarlet military uniform entered the hall unimpeded.
He has a handsome face, but his expression is domineering, very defiant.
Magistrate Ge was so frightened that he started talking.
He had always heard that King Qin was a "virtuous king", but he didn't know that when this so-called virtuous king became majestic and anxious, he would be as powerful as a whirlwind.
Qin Wang strode towards the old general, his face was full of concern, "Grandfather, why did you startle me?"
The old general smiled kindly, "The girl from the Yu family has no one to ask for help, so I sent someone to Xishan Academy to look for Chang Ne, and here I am."
King Qin was not very happy, "If she hadn't lived in the countryside, why would there be no one to ask for help? My little sister always thinks about her, and I don't want to bother her, so I'm anxiously waiting for the three-year term to expire."
The old general raised his hand to signal him not to continue talking, King Qin looked at the lonely chair in the hall, and there was a person sitting on the chair, nearly 40 years old, elegant and gentle, he reckoned that this was the father of the little girl from the Yu family, Knowing that his grandfather didn't want to offend him, he reluctantly sat down and didn't continue what he said just now.
The old general was still very kind, but he just wanted to attend the trial of the county magistrate, but the king of Qin was much more overbearing. The people he brought surrounded the county government office and began to search.Not to mention, two cruel instruments of torture that were lucky enough to be made, and a written confession were found. The confession stated that Yu Tai had colluded with Jiangyang robbers in his early years, harbored stolen goods and other crimes. , the next thing is to wait for Uncle Yu to press his fingerprints - as long as his fingerprints are pressed, it means that he has confessed his crime.
Liu San is a real bandit, and he insists that Uncle Yu has known him for many years and has been in close contact with him; there are also "stolen goods" as evidence, all of which are priceless jewels, which are rewards for Uncle Yu from the bandits; if Uncle Yu presses his fingerprints again , That is, the witnesses and physical evidence are all available, and I also plead guilty, and I am doomed.
Qin Wang was very angry, "Who is so deliberate to harm the Yu family? If the father knows that someone is going to deal with his daughter-in-law like this, Longyan will be furious. If this king only investigated such a small matter, and did not dig out the person behind it , father will not agree."
The old general had a very violent temper when he was young, but his temperament has become much milder in recent years, and now he couldn't help getting angry, his face sank, "First subdue Mr. Yu, and then deal with his family members, right? What a vicious mind."
Originally, he felt that San Lang was pitiful, but now that someone treats the girl San Lang likes like this, he is even more angry.
Uncle Yu looked at the "witnesses", "physical evidences" and "crimes" that were brought in one after another, and the two instruments of torture that made people shudder at first sight, his back felt cold, and his whole body felt cold.If Linglong hadn't tried every means to procrastinate and ask for help, she would have been tortured to extract a confession as soon as she arrived at the county yamen, and then the yamen would search for the family members, wives, and children of Jiangyang's robbers, and none of them could escape. "It doesn't matter if I die, if Atao and Long'er also fall into the hands of these people..." He shivered, closed his eyes, and didn't dare to think about it.
Qin Wang discussed with the old general, "Grandfather, you are not good at investigating cases, don't waste your time here, go back and rest. I will leave this place to me." The old general smiled at him, "Don't take this opportunity Naughty, Your Majesty knows, and I can’t spare you.” Qin Wang said indifferently, “A few days ago I went to play chess with my father, guess what he said to me before leaving? I was not mischievous in my early years, but I grew up suddenly.' It seems very regrettable. Grandfather, I am very filial, so I will be naughty and not let him down." The old general couldn't help but laugh.
The queen sent a servant and an imperial physician over, "I heard that your old man is galloping in the starry night, and the empress is very worried. Father, please do me a favor and go back to the palace with your servant." The servant begged with a smile on her face.
The old general tanned slightly, "Have I grown up like this? I didn't fight a war, but I just rode a horse, as if something big happened."
Even so, knowing that the queen was worried about him, she followed the servant into the car.
Before leaving, he confessed to King Qin, "Erlang, I promised the little girl from the Yu family to take care of her father." King Qin smiled, "What kind of temper is the third brother, do you dare not take care of his father-in-law? Grandfather, don't worry." The old man The general patted him, bid farewell to Uncle Yu, and left.
Magistrate Ge's intestines are full of regret.
How could the fat get in the way and think that the Yu family is just an ordinary family?His Royal Highness King Qin said that it was his third brother's father-in-law!The girl on the bridge who looks like a god of Luo is really a rare beauty in the world. It turns out that she is... Well, only King Zhou is worthy of such a character.
King Qin threw the confession in front of County Magistrate Ge, "Look at the ink on it, it was definitely not written today. The confession was written before Mr. Yu arrived. What's going on, tell the truth!"
County magistrate Ge was in a cold sweat and kowtowed repeatedly, "Yes, I said it, I said it all!"
County Magistrate Ge confessed Yin Weichen of Shuntian Mansion, and Wei Mansion Yin confessed Princess Yaze. The case became more and more complicated.
The King of Qin was very patient, and after carefully interrogating the Minister of Wei, he invited Princess Zeya over.
King Qin lived in the county office for several days, wrote down the progress of the day in his own hand every day, and reported it to the emperor and queen in the palace.
The emperor was furious, "How could the youngest son's father-in-law collude with bandits? This false accuser is too hateful!" After knowing that he had something to do with Princess Zeya, the emperor looked coldly, "Zeya, you really don't put me in the right place. It's in my eyes."
The queen was very happy, "Fortunately, the little girl from the Yu family was smart and knew to ask her father for help, and everyone was safe and sound. Your Majesty, apart from the fatigue of my father, there is nothing else."
"How could it be nothing?" The emperor was displeased, "My daughter-in-law must have been frightened."
The queen was in a heavy mood, but after hearing what His Majesty said, she wanted to laugh for some reason.
The emperor was completely unaware of her emotions, sat down beside her, and said restlessly: "Sister, it's also my fault for not thinking carefully about this matter, and not transferring Zeya away early."
"How can this be your fault?" the queen comforted him, "Zeya would be so mad, who would have imagined it?"
It's unbelievable that she actually killed someone because of her daughter's ability to become the princess of Zhou.
The servant brought up an urgent report, and the emperor opened it, "Little Sanzi is returning to Beijing quickly, and we will see him soon."
"Really?" On the queen's smooth and beautiful face, a happy smile bloomed.
The emperor thought for a while, and ordered: "Order the King of Zhou to return to Beijing slowly, and don't gallop his horse."
The waiter agreed and went out.
"He won't listen to what you said." The queen joked.
"If he doesn't listen to me, I will say it." The emperor was very stubborn.
The empress made fun of him, saying that he was an infatuated father. The emperor didn't think he was disobedient at all, and said happily, "How can parents not be infatuated?"
King Zhou was on his way back to Beijing, and King Qin was sparing no effort to investigate this strange case that fell from the sky.Gradually, Princess Zeya, Song Changqing, and even the Guan family gradually surfaced, and things became clearer.
Near the end of the case, something went wrong.Princess Zeya resorted to her trump card and handed over a gangster surnamed Chen, named Asi, "His surname is Chen, he has fallen in Baiwang Mountain, and he has seen Yu Tai enter the cottage to collude with bandits, and the leader of the bandit is King Chen." son!"
Uncle Yu was stubborn, and in order to prove his innocence, he did not hesitate to die and slammed his head against the hard wall.
The king of Qin turned pale with fright, and hurriedly ordered for medical treatment. Although his life was not harmed, he was seriously injured and unconscious.
"Will the third brother fight with me when he comes back?" King Qin was very annoyed.
He had maintained superficial politeness to Princess Zeya before. After Uncle Yu was injured, he didn't even talk about face. He detained Song Changqing, Chen Asi and others in isolation, interrogated their confessions, and photographed them directly in front of Princess Zeya. .
Chen Ah Si is indeed a bandit, but he is not from the Chen family village in Baiwang Mountain, but was bribed by Princess Zeya.
"Princess Zeya, you colluded with the officials, bribed the bandits, and wanted to put Yu Tai to death. Isn't it too vicious?" King Qin raised his eyebrows aggressively.
As a nephew of the King of Qin, he didn't show affection at all, and Princess Zeya became furious, "I know why you did this, it's just because Yu Tai was injured, and it's hard for you to explain it when you go back! But don't think about it, if no one in the Yu family leaks the secret, No one betrayed, how did this happen? The Yu family asked for it!" Then he defended himself, "How would I know that Chen Ahsi lied? It was just a momentary oversight!"
Because of Princess Zeya's words, the King of Qin also found out what the Guan family did.
After the matter was clarified, the King of Qin returned to the palace and said, "Father, my son is useless. The case has been clarified, but...Mr. Yu was injured..." The emperor looked at him speechlessly for a long while, "You haven't been naughty for a few years, Once you are naughty, you will cause me a lot of trouble." King Qin was very ashamed.
It's not really his fault.Uncle Yu is a very gentle and refined person, who has always defended himself with reason and evidence. He is neither humble nor overbearing, and calm and composed even to a nobleman like Princess Zeya. Who would have thought that he would suddenly seek death?No defense at all.
The emperor looked at the map on the wall and calculated King Zhou's itinerary, "When your third brother comes back, it should be all right, right?"
King Qin rolled up his sleeves, "I haven't had a serious fight with my third brother for several years, this time... this time..."
The emperor glared at him so hard that he dropped his sleeves and lowered his head in despair.
It was the queen who had an idea, Shi Shiran came over and reminded them with a smile, "It's not Mr. Yu that Sanlang admires, but a little girl from the Yu family." It's his little girl, not her father!"
Uncle Zhong brought Yu Chang and Yu Yan back to Yujia Village the next day. Mrs. Qiao was uneasy at first, but seeing her two sons comforted her a lot.
Linglong sent people to the county government office every day to inquire about the news. Knowing that King Qin personally tried the case, Uncle Yu had always been respected, and gradually she became less worried.However, if Uncle Yu didn't come back safely for a day, she, her mother, and brothers would not be at ease for a day.
Knowing that Song Changqing, Princess Zeya and others were involved in the case, Linglong's heart sank, and she blamed herself secretly, "Yu Linglong, your vigilance is still too low. These two people have clearly harbored ill intentions, and you are not have no idea."
On this day, news of Uncle Yu suddenly disappeared, and King Qin had returned to the palace to return to his command. Linglong didn't know what the final result would be, so she felt anxious.
Logically speaking, it should be fine, but the world is unpredictable, if Princess Zeya and Song Changqing really have some powerful tricks, wouldn't the Yu family suffer a loss?
A team of servants arrived at Yujia Village, passed on the emperor's oral order, and Xuan Linglong entered the palace.
Qiao Shi, Yu Chang, and Yu Yan were naturally worried, but Linglong comforted them, "Your Majesty is a wise king, don't worry, it must be a good thing for me to enter the palace. Mother, eldest brother and second brother, you can rest assured and wait at home for my good news. "
Linglong wore homely clothes and boarded the palace carriage.
The road is very long, entering the city, entering the Forbidden City, and then walking after entering the Forbidden City. The endless corridors and overlapping palaces are resplendent and magnificent.
The gate is small, and I don't know how many gates I passed before I arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
In front of such a palace, Linglong felt very small.
At this moment, she somewhat understood why Uncle Yu would try his best to oppose her and King Zhou—she was as insignificant in front of King Zhou as she was in front of this palace, without any resistance.
Linglong was brought in.
The hall is tall and wide, the ground paved with golden bricks, painted with auspicious flowers, Linglong did not dare to raise her head, she glanced at the blurred outlines of the desks from the corner of her eyes, and felt that these desks should be made of special wood, giving people a sense of auspiciousness. A sense of solemnity and tranquility.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Yu San brought you here." The servant replied.
Linglong saluted like a ritual, her heart was pounding, the supreme ruler of the empire, the head of state who holds the power of life and death... I have never seen a person with such an identity in my previous life and this life, and it is a lie to say that I am not nervous.
"Raise your head and let me take a look." A cheerful male voice said.
Linglong raised her head slowly, and a familiar face appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't help shouting: "Wang Xiaosan, why are you here? You... aren't you... in Beiye City?" Due to his own impoliteness, his voice gradually lowered, and he lowered his head timidly.
The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up, and he asked the queen in a low voice, "Do I look alike to the third son? How similar?" The queen smiled, "If you are more than 20 years younger, standing next to the third son, it is really difficult to tell the difference." The emperor smiled more and more.
The queen stood up slowly and walked down the steps.
Linglong saw half of the graceful and gorgeous vermilion embroidered robe with golden embroidered cloud clouds, pheasants and bird patterns move down the high steps step by step, and came in front of her.
Linglong's nervous mouth felt a little dry, and her palms were sweating a little.
"Get up." The queen stretched out a slender hand to Linglong.
Linglong put her hand on her and stood up, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.
Before that, Mrs. Qiao was the most beautiful mother she had ever seen in this world. The gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman in front of her was a little less feminine and more glamorous than Qiao's. Reflecting people, the world is different.
The queen looked at Linglong carefully, with a smile in her eyes, "No wonder."
She held Linglong's hand, and blinked at the emperor, her expression clearly said, "Look, no wonder our little third son has been thinking about it all the time, this little girl is so beautiful and beautiful, no wonder!"
The emperor smiled happily, and nodded happily.
A beautiful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old Yingying came over and pouted her mouth, "I thought you were pretty good when I corresponded with you before, but when I met you, I don't like you anymore!"
Seeing her delicate and charming, Linglong inexplicably felt close to her, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's fine if you don't like me, this doesn't prevent me from continuing to like you."
Princess Yongning grinned, pushed the Queen's hand away graciously, and pulled Linglong up by herself, "Do you know why I don't like you when I see you? You are so beautiful that I can't be compared to you. I'm jealous of you!"
She had a bright smile on her face, innocent and amiable, but she wanted to say, "I'm jealous of you".
"To each other." Linglong smiled, "When Her Highness the Princess came in front of me, my eyes lit up."
"Really? Really?" Princess Yongning looked excited, "I really made your eyes shine?"
"It's more radiant than the brightest luminous pearl." Linglong said firmly.
Princess Yongning smiled happily.
The emperor looked at the three beauties in the palace, his wife, youngest daughter, and daughter-in-law who was about to enter, and his heart was full of joy.
After being happy, he had to face some embarrassing things.
He recruited Shi, the governor of King Qin's residence, and ordered him to tell the truth about Yu Tai's case.
Linglong heard that her father wanted to prove her innocence by death, and now she is unconscious, with tears streaming down her face.
"Your Majesty, let my father go home, let my mother and my brothers take care of him, he will be fine." Linglong choked up and begged.
"Sure." The emperor naturally agreed.
Princess Yongning comforted Linglong sympathetically, and Linglong burst into tears, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being in the mood at the moment - until my father wakes up, I may not be in the mood for doing anything, I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for, silly words." Princess Yongning shook her lightly.
"My second brother is too embarrassed to see you." Princess Yongning whispered.
"No, it has nothing to do with His Highness King Qin." Linglong shook her head quickly, "I know my father's temper, he is very kind and stubborn, if he has made up his mind, no one can make him change his mind. "
The emperor and queen were very pleased.
It's obvious that Linglong loves her father, but she didn't just blame or vent her anger on others just because her father was hurt.
"A sensible and good boy." They couldn't be more satisfied with Linglong.
Uncle Yu was moved to the Yu family, Qiao Shi and Yu Chang and Yu Yan also came from the old house to take care of him personally.
Uncle Yu was lying on the bed, his face was pale, even his lips were bloodless, he was a different person in peacetime.
Yu Chang, Yu Yan and Linglong were all worried that Qiao Shi would pass out from grief, but she didn't.She slowly sat down by the bed, her eyes were gentle, "Eleventh Lang, you were the one who took care of me in the past, this time, it's my turn to take care of you."
Linglong turned her back, covered her mouth with her hand, and tried her best not to let herself cry.
Yu Chang and Yu Yan also shed tears silently.
But Qiao Shi didn't cry. She patiently fed Uncle Yu medicine one mouthful at a time. When she wasn't giving the medicine, she sat on the edge of the bed, held his hand, and talked about their past in a gentle breeze, "...the first time I I was a child when I saw you. I don’t have a good memory, but I always remember what you were like at that time. I was so bored in the room that day, I sneaked out without telling the nurse and Aunt Xuan, two relatives’ boys My son bullied me, I was so frightened that I cried, you beat the two of them by yourself, drove the two bad boys away, and squatted down to coax me when you were beaten black and blue. Eleven Lang, you were so beautiful at that time ..."
Linglong often burst into tears.
The King of Qin threw Song Changqing's crimes to the Marquis Heqing, "If you follow this king, the crimes of this kind of person should be made public and executed according to the law! However, Your Majesty is kind, and because of your meritorious service in saving him, I allow you to punish him yourself. "
Song Changqing has been adopted by Marquis He Qing, who is his daughter.If his daughter was brought to the yamen for public questioning and beheading, then the reputation of Heqinghou's mansion would be damaged, and he would be ashamed to go out to meet people in the future.The same death, the emperor asked him to execute Song Changqing quietly, but gave him dignity.
He Qinghou was sweating coldly, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Chen Song Li, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
For Song Changqing, if he did such a thing, he would not be able to implicate the Marquis of Heqing. It was a blessing among misfortunes for him.
Marquis He Qing knew that the matter was serious, and even Mrs. Su was worried, so he personally took the white silk and placed it in front of Song Changqing, "You can end it yourself. Sister Qing, father and daughter, I will leave a whole body for you."
Unwilling to die, Song Changqing knelt in front of Marquis Heqing's knees and begged, "Father, you are my father, don't you just watch your daughter die?"——If Mrs. Tai was here, Song Changqing's begging Maybe it is still useful to make Mrs. Tai soften her heart and change her mind, but Marquis Heqing is hard-hearted. Thinking about the emperor's oral order and King Qin's anger, he felt fear, so how could there be room for change?Seeing that Song Changqing had been dawdling, impatient, he simply tied the white silk on the beam with his own hands, lifted Song Changqing, stood on the table, and forced her neck into it.
Afterwards, He Qinghou jumped down and kicked the table away.
Song Changqing struggled desperately, kicking with both feet, his shape was very pitiful.
She did not break free from the shackles of fate, and finally left this world lonely.
After her death, probably only Mrs. Tai was really sad for her.Because of her death, Mrs. Tai fell ill and was bedridden, and almost survived.
Qiao stayed with Uncle Yu during the day and refused to leave at night, so he built a bed in his room and lived in the same room with him.
Her daily use is a canopy bed with carved lotus and lotus seeds on the moon gate, which is spacious and comfortable, beautifully laid out, and very particular.If she changed the bed, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep easily, but now she didn't notice it at all, and couldn't care about it.
"Eleventh Lang, I'm so bored if you don't talk to me." She held Uncle Yu's hand and talked to him softly.
Uncle Yu's hand trembled.
She patted his hand and said angrily: "What's the use of shaking your hands? Shishi Lang, you can just talk to me."
"...Okay..." Uncle Yu opened his mouth with difficulty and spit out a word.
"Eleventh Lang, you have spoken, you really have spoken!" Qiao Shi was overjoyed.
Uncle Yu nodded with his eyes closed, a tear fell from his eye...
He is getting better every day.
Like her two elder brothers, Linglong was dizzy with joy.
Uncle Yu is slowly recovering, and Linglong is also in the mood to deal with some things that must be dealt with.
Jingxi came back several times to ask to see Linglong but didn't see her, but today, Tang Xiaoming let her in.
Jing Xi, the young girl who had just been engaged to Song Changlin not long ago, looked haggard, "Linglong, my mother is locked up, do you know? You...you are a lot of adults, please save her!"
She gritted her teeth, a look of determination flashed across her face, and suddenly she knelt down in front of Linglong, "I begged my father, but my father was very troubled and never agreed to me. Although he didn't agree to me, I know he was heartbroken and very Uncomfortable! Linglong, my father and my mother are a married couple and have always been very close. How heartbroken it is for him to lock up my mother. He is your good uncle, right? Linglong, even if you don’t see it for my sake For your uncle's sake, let my mother go!"
Her eyes flickered, she turned her head away, as if she also knew that she was not authentic, and said hesitantly: "My mother was wrong, but...but...uncle is fine, right?"
Linglong fixed her eyes on her, and her anger rose little by little.
So it turns out that my father survived a catastrophe, so you feel that everything in the past can be written off!
Do you know how I feel when I try to delay time, when I am anxiously waiting for reinforcements?I thought about what kind of danger my father might face once he was sent to the police, and he was cold all over, couldn't eat and sleep, and felt uneasy. My father was so concerned about his family, and he was in danger. What he worried about was not to Injure the family, don't injure the tribe, but you treat him like this!He turned around before the gate of hell, and you said lightly about such a serious matter, "Uncle is fine, isn't he?"
Yu Jingxi, you are shameless.
Jingxi saw Linglong's chest rising and falling but did not speak, and looked at her patiently, "Linglong, you can't kill without nodding your head! I'm already on my knees begging you, what else do you want?"
——Bah, it turns out that you have harmed people to this extent, as long as you kneel down and beg, others should forgive you.
Linglong held back the disgust in her heart and clapped her hands. Tang Xiaoming walked in from the outside, and Linglong ordered: "Take her, let's go and see Mrs. Guan."
"See what my mother is doing?" Jingxi didn't cover her face any more, she put down her hands with a look of panic.
Linglong ignored her and went out the door.
Tang Xiaoming supported Jingxi tightly, and followed Linglong.
Arriving in front of a remote and simple house, Linglong stopped in her tracks.
The old lady at the door took out the key and opened the door, and Linglong, Tang Xiaoming, and Yu Jingxi entered the room.
The room was very empty, with only a simple bed, an old table and a chair in front of the window, and nothing else.
Guan Shi sat on the chair in a daze, saw Linglong, and smiled sarcastically.
Seeing Jingxi who came in last with a panicked expression, her eyes softened, and there was still a faint smile on her lips.
"I've always wondered why you mother and daughter are so impatient." Linglong sneered, "Don't you know that as long as you wait patiently for a year or two, Yu Jingxi will find a good marriage? "
Yu Linglong became the concubine of Zhou, so how could no one care about Yu Jingxi.The king of Zhou is His Majesty's beloved son, the crown prince and his mother's brother. To marry Yu Jingxi is to be brother-in-law with the king of Zhou.Song Changlin was just a possible heir of the Marquis of Heqing, but as long as he waited two more years, it would not be difficult for Yu Jingxi to marry into which Marquis.
Guan smiled sarcastically, "First of all, I don't know if you can really be the princess of Zhou? The king of Zhou likes you, we know, but the family background of the Yu family is really not suitable for the king of Zhou! In the past, the king of Zhou was also attentive to you. You, Princess Yongning all look at you differently, so that's all, no one cares about you in the past two or three years! Your Majesty, Queen, King Zhou, Princess Yongning, who has ever cared about you?"
"Secondly, even if you really become the princess of Zhou, will you definitely help Xiaoxi? Yu Linglong, you won't! Xiaoxi only occasionally slips a word, but once you make a mistake, you just hold on to it. Cut off her contact with the Song family and the Xu family! You have lived in seclusion in the countryside for more than two years, do you know what kind of life Xiaoxi has lived? The city is getting more and more prosperous every day, but she is getting more and more deserted every day! Yu Linglong, this It's all because of you. With a person like you, do you still expect you to support sisters in the future? What a joke!"
Linglong looked at her coldly, "So, you are justified in killing me, right?"
Since Linglong came in, Guan seems to have been very calm. Hearing Linglong's words, she suddenly became nervous and screamed: "I caused you! It has nothing to do with Xiaoxi! Yu Linglong, what are you doing to me?" Come on, don't torture my child!"
Her eyes were full of fear.
Linglong was unmoved, and asked word by word: "It's not like you don't know how brotherly my father and my uncle are! When my uncle fell into the mountain village, it was my father who went into the mountain alone to save him regardless of his own safety. Yes! Auntie, my father treated my uncle like this, but you almost killed my father, don’t you feel any guilt at 01:30?"
"Don't mention it, it makes me feel uncomfortable when I mention it." Guan's expression was disgusted. "At that time, I had a big belly and I was more stupid than usual, so I just let your mother steal all the limelight! Chaos, but she is lucky, took the opportunity to show her magnanimity and generosity, and took out several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry at once, without any distress! I am the one who is capable, I am the housekeeper, and I am the one who praises her relatives and friends. She is usually a A useless cripple, but that day, I was so disgraced by her that I was ashamed to see others!"
Linglong opened her eyes wide and looked at Guan Shi, feeling that she had really opened her eyes today.
It was Qiao's jewelry and Uncle Yu's bravery that saved Erye Yu and her husband's life. The woman in front of him was not grateful, but hated Qiao because Qiao had compared her!
Who are these people?
"What is my uncle in your heart?" Linglong asked softly.
What is your husband to you?
He is neither rich nor expensive, but he is very gentle and considerate to you. Among other things, you only gave birth to two daughters, and he has no sons in his 30s. Don't be moved - he treats you well, doesn't he?
"Seventeen Lang, he is the husband I have been betrothed to since I was a child." Guan wanted to laugh, but his eyes streamed down, "He is good for everything, but he is worthless, and he can't earn me glory. Wealth and honor can't give your daughter a good future. He's fine in small things, but you can't count on him in big things, it's all up to me."
"Do you know why I risked my life to make such a deal with Princess Zeya? I don't want Xiaoxi to live a life like mine anymore! The city is full of wealth and wealth, but none of it has anything to do with me. I can only live in poverty day after day. I have had enough, I have really had enough, Xiaoxi can't be like me, must not be like me..."
There was a muffled hum from outside.
Linglong was vigilant, and walked out quickly, only to see Erye Yu standing outside the door blankly, with a dazed and painful expression.
This is how his wife who has lived together for more than ten years thinks of him. Can he bear it?Linglong felt distressed, ran over to support him, and comforted him in a low voice, "Uncle, she...it's not that she doesn't like you, it's just that she wants to be rich and famous..."
Second Master Yu smiled bitterly, "Little Linglong, stop talking, uncle understands."
He patted Linglong's little hands, turned around, and walked out with one deep foot and one shallow foot.
Guan Shi and Jingxi also ran to the door to look out when they heard the sound. Seeing Erye Yu's back, they also guessed that he heard it, and at the same time their faces turned pale.
Guan shi slumped on the ground helplessly.
"Seventeen Lang, you won't forgive me, will you?" She was on the verge of crying.
Erye Yu gave Guan a letter of divorce, "Since following me makes you suffer so much, I won't delay you, let's make a difference."
Guan's family accepted the letter of divorce, with a strange smile on his lips, "Seventeen Lang, I am your man in life, and your ghost in death."
That night, she hanged herself.
Her death was not at the right time, because the two daughters were engaged, and she had to keep a filial piety for her after her death, so she couldn't leave the cabinet as scheduled.
It's easy to say.The old man of the Yun family came to the door with his grandson, and the old man Yu called Jing Jia to Jinshizhai. The shy Yun Yunyi said three words softly in front of the two grandfathers, "I'll wait for you."
Although it was so low that it was almost inaudible, and there were three words Liao Liao again, when Jing Jia heard it, a shy red cloud appeared on her face.
Marquis Heqing has only one heir, and he is still looking forward to his early marriage so that he can spread the branches and leaves for the big house. Knowing that Mrs. Guan is dead, Jingxi is a little shaken because he wants to keep his filial piety.Song Changlin was unwilling, "There is a matchmaker, and the marriage letter is also written. Although they are not married, they are already husband and wife. Besides, how can there be a reason why the husband's family should withdraw the engagement when the woman's family suffers a funeral? How cruel and heartless. This If the matter is spoken out, it will be the easiest to be criticized by others, and the reputation will be damaged even more." He Qinghou regretted it a little at this moment, "The reason for adopting him is because he is good-natured and has the style of being a mother. You know, he is the same as his own mother, he will not give up until the Yellow River, and he will not give up when he reaches the Yellow River!"
Because Song Changlin's reasons were very righteous, and the emperor treated Yu's family very preferentially, it seemed that Linglong would be the princess of Zhou sooner or later, so she couldn't easily offend Yu's family.In this way, the matter of retiring the engagement will be delayed and gradually not mentioned.
Not only that, Song Changlin, who has always been polite, also sent Mrs. Su a personal letter to Jing Xi, telling her not to worry, the Song family will marry as scheduled.After reading the letter, Jing Xi was both moved and sad, and hid alone and cried bitterly.
The death of Guan Shi made her heartbroken, but because of Song Changlin, new hope was ignited in her heart.
Erye Yu is not completely suspicious of Jingxi, but he can be ruthless towards Guan Shi, but he can't bear Jingxi at all.He smiled wryly and said to Linglong: "Little Linglong, uncle is sorry for you. Uncle is very heartbroken when Mrs. Guan is gone, but he can bear it. If it is not enough to change Xiaoxi, I would rather die myself a thousand times or ten thousand times than I would like to move a hair of my little Xie."
"Uncle, you're overthinking. I believe Second Sister didn't think about harming me, really." Second Master Yu seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, Linglong couldn't bear it, and comforted him softly.
Second Master Yu's eyes glowed with new brilliance, "Really? Xiao Linglong, I think so, Xiaoxi is different from her mother, she is still a flower-like child, and she won't intentionally harm anyone!"
Linglong smiled and nodded.
——These are all things for later.
Uncle Yu's health is getting worse day by day, and King Zhou is about to arrive in the capital.
Princess Yongning sent someone to deliver a letter, "My third brother should arrive in the northern suburbs early tomorrow morning."
"I promised to go pick him up." When Linglong received the letter, she remembered her previous promise, and felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
It is happiness to be waited for by someone, and it is also happiness to wait for someone.
