County Lord Changning

Chapter 497
Sima Chen looked up at Sima Xuan in shock, doubts flashed across his face, as if he didn't understand what Sima Xuan just said, "What did you just say?" Seeing that Sima Xuan didn't look like he was joking, he stood there. He asked uncertainly again, "Do you mean to ask me to be the chief interrogator of the arson incident in Prince Jin's Mansion?"

Sima Xuan nodded, looked at Sima Chen with a deep expression, and said in a deep voice, "Father has decreed that you were framed for what happened to you, and he will soon avenge your grievances, and the empress will follow the national mourning rules again." Burial in the imperial mausoleum according to the etiquette, as for...the late Qiao Shoufu and others, they will be buried afterward, brother emperor, accept the order."

Sima Xuan glanced at the two guards who were still standing beside him in a daze, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Don't open the door yet!"

The two jailers rushed over to open the cell door. Sima Xuan thought that Sima Chen would go over to accept the order soon, but he didn't expect Sima Chen to sit there on his knees and weep loudly. Sima Xuan frowned and looked at him crying like a child Sima Chen, who was the same, was silent and did not speak. After a while, Sima Xuan said in a low voice, "Brother Emperor, accept the order. Only when you become the presiding judge can you avenge your own injustice and avenge the family of the Jin Palace." .”

Sima Xuan opened the imperial decree and read out: "Follow the heavens, the emperor's edict says..."

Sima Chen knelt on the ground and straightened his body, took the imperial decree from Sima Xuan's hands with both hands, "I accept the decree."

Sima Xuan took a deep look at Sima Chen who was kneeling on the ground, pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "I have some information about this case, if you need it, please come to the Third Prince's Let's get it from the government."

After Sima Chen thanked Sima Xuan, he stood up, looked at Sima Xuan's back, and sighed deeply, a self-deprecating smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, he really didn't expect that the third brother who was against him before was his lifesaver The straw saved my life at a critical moment, and the person I once trusted so much stabbed me in the back, but what should I do now?

Are you still fighting each other for the position of the Son of Heaven as before?But he seems tired.

Seeing his mother's death and seeing his grandfather's family being implicated, he already has no desire for that position. If possible, he would rather destroy the Sima family's country. Why do so many people want to live in such a cold place? How about sitting there?
Sima Chen sighed, and walked outside. The two jailers who were standing there eagerly sent Sima Chen out. Sima Chen glanced at them and said calmly, "Please go back, my lords. No trouble, the two adults will see you off."

"Eldest Prince, you are such a poor boy." The two jailers smiled flatteringly, "I thought from the very beginning that you would definitely be released from prison, but as expected, you see, you are now a doomed man. Good fortune."

Sima Chen smiled faintly, and walked out of the dungeon. The glare of the sun made him uncomfortable for a moment, and soon he put down his hand covering his eyes, walked down the stairs, and left the dungeon.

Sima Xuan stood in the distance and looked at Sima Chen who was walking slowly step by step. There was no trace of emotion on his deep face. He stood there with his hands behind his back, looked sideways at the guard beside him, took out a piece of paper and handed it to him. To the guards, said in a deep voice, "Go to the East Palace and wait, and hand over the letter to the First Prince."

The guard responded, put the letter that Sima Xuan handed to him into his arms and left quickly, Sima Xuan looked at Sima Chen's back, and said calmly, "This is the only thing I can do for you as a brother, I only hope you You can hold your breath and don't ruin the big thing."

……

Here Qin Changning is waiting for the news from the palace. She seems to be pacing back and forth in the room very calmly, but her tightly clasped hands have already betrayed her current mood. Yin Jinglan looked at her, He couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull her to sit down, and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be too nervous, if there is any news, Qilin and the others will come back and tell us, please sit down and rest for a while."

Qin Changning shook his head, "Leng Zhuoye is too treacherous and cunning, if this person knows about our plan, he will definitely get out of his shell before then, or should I arrest him now?"

"You're too nervous." Yin Jinglan said in a low voice, "What you should do now is not to catch Leng Zhuoye, but to send Madam Tang away as soon as possible. We don't know whether Madam Tang is an enemy or a friend. We can only place her in another place, so that nothing bad will happen. Otherwise, we are not sure whether she will be a hindrance. General Tang is also a person who loves his wife. If there is someone who can't bear it at this time, we The plan is likely to fail.”

Qin Changning took a deep breath, stood up and nodded, "Okay, you wait here for news, and I'll go to the General's Mansion."

"Just go like this?" Already smiled and looked at Qin Changning's current appearance, "If you go like this, others will think you're haunted, so wear a cap."

Qin Changning patted his head helplessly, "When it comes to critical moments, I am always careless."

Yin Jinglan had already taken the cap and put it on Qin Changning, and while fastening the hat rope on Qin Changning, she warned in a low voice, "You must not show your face in front of others, and also, you must not act emotionally. I know Mrs. Tang is very important to you. , but Aning, you have to know how long we have been waiting for this moment. As long as this matter is completed, we can also take them away. If you want General Tang and the others to accompany you, I can also let them…"

"Ah Jing." Qin Changning took Yin Jinglan's hand and shook his head gently, "You don't have to do so much for me, you have done enough for me now, I know there are still many things waiting for you in Chenguo that give you headaches You deal with it, but you still choose to stay by my side, which already makes me very grateful, so you don't have to worry about the general's mansion. We only need to deal with Leng Zhuoye who wants to put the general's mansion to death, and the rest It depends on their fate, if they are willing to leave, then I will try my best to help them leave, but if they don't want to leave, then I will not force them."

She knew that her father was a man with a strong sense of mission. Even if war broke out in the future, he would probably stay on his own territory and use up his last ounce of strength.

……

In the General's Mansion, in the study, General Tang saw Qin Changning take off his cap to reveal that familiar face, his pupils widened, he hurriedly stood up and walked over to close the window, with a smile on his face, "I knew you wouldn't It was so easy to be killed."
