The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 454 The Grand Finale (8)
Xu Si'an has been out for a few months, and she looks a little more vicissitudes in the wind and sun, but Zhao Jing is still delicate and tender at home. He looked her up and down a few times, and she lowered her head and smiled shallowly. There were still faint tears on the eyelashes.

I heard that she entered the palace today, probably because she told the little emperor about the regent.

"Don't be sad, my lord may still have a chance this time." Zhao Jing raised her head to look at him as soon as he finished speaking, and said calmly after a while: "The great crime of treason, what chance is there? Even if the emperor is willing to let him go, I'm afraid that all the ministers may not be willing to let him go."

Seeing her like this, Xu Si'an hugged her in his arms. Her belly was quite big, but she was a lot thinner, and she was still so weightless in her arms.

After all, Zhao Jing was inconvenient, so Xu Si'an had no choice but to restrain himself, but after a while, he hugged her in his arms.Zhao Jing's cheeks were flushed, and although she had no strength, she still held his hand and asked, "You said that the prince still has a glimmer of life, what do you mean?"

Xu Si'an frowned and thought about it, and said: "When I went out before, the imperial court hadn't borrowed troops from the Xixi army. After all, the west is the key point of Dayong. If the Tatars take advantage of the internal turmoil to invade, then Dayong will really have internal troubles and foreign troubles." Yes. But I only left for two days before I received a letter from Marquis Pingxi, saying that a secret envoy brought a tiger charm and seconded 3 troops from the Zhengxi Army. Later, when Yanzhou was attacked, the Zhengxi Army arrived in time to take the regent Forced to Wenhu Cliff."

When Xu Si'an said this, he stopped again, his deep pupils shrank slightly, and then said: "Later, we besieged the regent on Wenhu Cliff, where there was a cliff, and there was a vast ocean below, but in fact, 20 Years ago, when the prince and my father were trapped in Wenhu Cliff, they dug a secret passage, but no one knew about it. I originally thought that the prince used a golden cicada to escape the shell, so I sent my cronies to wait at the exit of the secret passage... "

"Do you want to let the prince go?" Zhao Jing straightened up when she heard this, and looked at Xu Si'an intently.

"Although the prince plotted rebellion this time, it attracted the remnants of the previous dynasty. Most of the officers and soldiers who were exterminated this time were the remnants of the previous dynasty, and only a small number were Dayong soldiers. The secret envoy is the prince's subordinate, so I can be sure that the prince's rebellion this time was definitely intentional, otherwise with the prince's wisdom, he would not have lost so quickly."

After Xu Si'an finished speaking, he lowered his head and finally sighed: "It's just that I didn't expect that my confidant waited for a few days at the exit, but the prince escaped the siege, and he was waiting for me to catch him."

"Why didn't he leave!" Zhao Jing bit her lip, secretly puzzled.

Xu Si'an shook his head, he also couldn't figure out why Zhou Yi didn't leave, but once he followed him back to Beijing, it would be difficult to get out of danger.

A few days after Zhao Jing's birthday, the results of the interrogation by the three divisions came out. The regent Zhou Yi committed the crime of treason.Thinking that there were only women, children and servants left in his family, only the property was confiscated, and the rest were released without charge.

Zhao Jing quietly listened to Chang Geng's announcement of the verdict of the Ministry of Punishment. As she said, Zhou Yi knew the price of what he did, and it was useless to be sad.

Chang Geng looked at Zhao Jing's distraught look, frowned, and finally said: "Hou Ye went to the capital camp today to inspect the government affairs, the emperor has already lenient the Internet, saying that it was poisoned wine, Hou Ye asked his wife if she wanted to go See you in prison for the last time, the prince?"

The teacup in Zhao Jing's hand fell to the ground, and the debris splashed all over the ground. Her eyes wandered on the ground for a long time before she raised her head and said, "Go...just go."

In the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the cells where prisoners are held are eerie and terrifying. Zhao Jing never thought that she would come to such a dark place in her life.There is only a small window on the wall several feet high, and the dazzling sunlight shines in from the outside.

Zhou Yi was wearing a prison uniform, sitting cross-legged in the haystack on the ground, with his eyes closed and his expression indifferent.

A jailer shouted from a distance: "Regent, someone has come to see you!"

But now there is no such thing as a regent, the one sitting in this prison is nothing but the prisoner Zhou Yi.

Zhao Jing stood in front of him, he opened his eyes and glanced at her, with a slight smile on his lips.The man cried and asked himself: "Why do you want to come back? You can obviously escape!"

Zhou Yi smiled wryly, raised his head to look at Zhao Jing, his eyes contained no emotion, and just asked lightly: "I just want to come back to find out the truth." He paused, and continued: "You and I are really brothers and sisters. ?"

Zhao Jing clenched her fists and knelt down on the ground, crying, "Is this why you came back? Is it true? Is it that important to you?"

Zhou Yi watched her cry, and it took a long time before he said, "I am very important to you." After he finished speaking, he turned around, raised his head and stopped looking at Zhao Jing.
