Chapter 391

"Damn it! The post-sealing ceremony at the end of the month is the last day of the ten-day period. If we don't find any evidence, we will not only see my cousin be beheaded for public display, but also watch Concubine Min being conferred the title of empress dowager. They did it on purpose. definitely is!"

After leaving the palace, Nangong Yizhi was extremely angry. Seeing Qin Xuanting walking away, he wished he could rush up and tear him to pieces.

"It's Qin Xuanting, he must be behind the scenes!" Ling Mu'er was angry, but reason told her not to be impulsive.

She narrowed her eyes, looked at Liu Changyu who was gradually approaching, and blocked his way unceremoniously.

"Lord Liu, where are you going?" Ling Mu'er asked with an evil voice.

Liu Changyu shivered, turned around and wanted to run, but Nangong Yizhi was already one step ahead to block his retreat, and dragged him to a corner where no one was around.

"Liu Changyu!" Nangong Yizhi grabbed his collar fiercely, "How dare you tease us, do you know that I can kill you at any time!"

"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, please forgive me!" Liu Changyu was terrified, and raised his hands high as a gesture of surrender, "Why should your lord embarrass me, I..."

"What does Master Liu mean?" Ling Muer saw that he hesitated for a while and didn't know how to speak. She had a bad feeling in her heart. She signaled Nangong Yizhi to let go, and then looked around, "There is no one around right now, you You can tell the truth, do you have any difficulties?"

Seeing Liu Changyu's fear, and even wanting to find a hole in the ground, Ling Muer frowned slightly, obviously a little anxious, "You were coerced, right? What did they do to you? Tell us, we are here It will be up to you."

Nangong Yizhi also noticed something was wrong, "Could it be that you have been Qin Xuanting's person from the beginning, and you have been teasing us?"

"No, my minister is not!"

Having been wronged, Liu Changyu hurriedly raised his head, but then lowered his head in the next second, "My lord, the second concubine, please don't embarrass me, I am also very sad that what happened to the second prince, but..."

"But what, those people are not his people at all. You know about the Hero Pavilion, but why did you say that it doesn't exist today? You temporarily changed your words and joined forces with the seventh prince to murder the second prince. It's enough to kill you, do you believe it?" Ling Muer held three silver needles in her hand, and said that she wanted to pierce his heart veins.

Liu Changyu was terrified, and quickly squatted on the ground, buried his head in his arms at an age, and cried out of fright, "No, this is not the case, I, I don't know anything, don't ask me any more I don't know anything!"

Ling Muer still wanted to attack, but couldn't bear it anymore.

Liu Changyu was a loyal and honest person, if there were no unspeakable secrets, he might not have behaved like this, and now it seems that Qin Xuanting's credit is right.

"Don't let me see you again, get out!"

Too lazy to waste words with such a person who has no bottom line, Ling Muer took the silver needle back and roared angrily.

Seeing this, Liu Changyu hurriedly ran away.

"He's lying, he must be controlled by Qin Xuanting to betray us, Mu'er, if we arrest him and bring him before the emperor, he will definitely confess." Nangong Yizhi didn't want to let Liu Changyu go easily.

"It's useless. An honest man like him would not have betrayed the imperial court if he hadn't been threatened fatally. I'm afraid Qin Xuanting used very despicable means to make him do so. Even if he sees the emperor now, he will To protect those who want to protect, I'm afraid you would rather die than tell the truth." Ling Muer sighed in frustration, "There are still eight days left, we are running out of time."

"Mu'er!"

A familiar voice came from behind, Ling Muer looked back, and saw Concubine Yi standing behind her with the support of her maidservant.

"Imperial Concubine Yi?" Ling Muer hurriedly walked towards her, and Nangong Yizhi also saluted her.

"You two don't have to be polite." Hurrying to help them up with her own hands, Concubine Yi pointed to the gazebo opposite, and everyone moved away.

"I've heard about what happened in the morning court today. I heard that the prefect of Pingcheng you brought back suddenly changed his mind and framed the second prince, Mu'er. I wonder if you have thought of a way to exonerate him?" Concubine Yi said anxiously with a worried expression on her face. .

"Concubine Yi also believes that Shao Chen is innocent?" Ling Muer was very surprised by this.

"Although I haven't had much contact with the second prince, I can still see the child grow up. I know what kind of character he is. It's a pity that the evidence for this matter is solid, and you haven't found any evidence to exonerate him. evidence and witnesses, what should we do now?"

Concubine Yi sighed sadly, as if her own son was in danger, "Well, I'll ask the emperor to let him release the second prince first."

After speaking, Concubine Yi was about to get up, Ling Muer hurriedly pushed her down.

"Your Majesty, please stay!" Ling Muer hurriedly blessed her gratefully, "Thank you, Madam, for trusting us, but you are right, we have no evidence and no witnesses, even if you go to ask the Emperor, the Emperor will not let you go." Damn it! The Seventh Prince retaliated and imprisoned Shao Chen in the death row, and produced the forged evidence in advance. In the eyes of everyone, Shao Chen is the one who conspired against the rebel, and it is better for the empress to stay away from us now."

"What are you talking about?" Concubine Yi disliked her words very much, "You are my savior, if you are in trouble, how can I stand idly by! The emperor owes me a favor after all, if I ask him Repay, he will definitely agree."

When it comes to favors, Ling Muer suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "If you don't remind me, I will forget that the emperor has promised me a condition. If I ask for Shao Chen to come out first, the emperor will not refuse." Yes, but I'm not going to do that until the last day."

If she exchanged conditions, everyone would still feel that Shangguan Shaochen was a conspiracy, and she needed to find evidence, and as soon as possible.

"Shao Chen was wronged. This incident happened suddenly, and some people had planned it for a long time. Now the situation is very pessimistic! Your Majesty, Muer, thank you for your concern, but you are not feeling well, so I don't want to If I get involved in this matter, my godmother and Yizhi will help me." Ling Muer pointed to Nangong Yizhi beside her.

"With the help of the Marquis of Ningguo, I'm certainly relieved, but..." Yigui Concubine thought for a while before deciding to speak out, "When I went to visit the emperor in the early morning, I accidentally overheard the conversation between Mingui Concubine and the Seventh Prince. It's not very good to be afraid that the second prince will be on death row, do you know that?"

"What did you say?"

As soon as she heard that Shangguan Shaochen was very bad, Ling Muer was overwhelmed with worry, she immediately looked at Nangong Yizhi, "He has been imprisoned for two days, do you have a way for me to see him?"

Nangong Yizhi shook his head in embarrassment, "The death row is a place where no one is allowed to enter without the emperor's decree and oral order. However, it stands to reason that the prisoners on the death row will not be punished without a final verdict."

"That person can even cover up the huge Hero Pavilion. There is nothing he can't do. He already hates Shaochen, and he will never miss this opportunity. No, I want to see Shaochen. !" After making up her mind, Ling Muer turned around and wanted to leave.

Nangong Yizhi hurriedly pulled her back, "What are you doing? Are you going to get into the death row? You know that once you do that, cousin will really commit a crime."

"Then what should we do?" Ling Muer really had no choice.

"I'll take you in."

Concubine Yi suddenly spoke behind her back, completely startling Ling Muer and Nangong Yizhi.

Ling Mu'er doesn't understand the rules of the palace, but it doesn't mean that Nangong Yizhi doesn't understand.

"Thank you, Concubine Yi, for your kindness, but the death penalty is serious. Without the emperor's permission, no one is allowed to enter, not even the concubine, the empress. The empress's kindness has been accepted."

Concubine Yi shook her head, "It's just bringing two people in, it's no big deal, besides, the emperor won't do anything to me for this matter, let's go."

As she spoke, she had already taken the lead.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Ling Muer and Nangong Yizhi looked at each other and hurriedly followed behind.

Liu Changyu, who left from the palace, saw that Nangong Yizhi and Ling Muer hadn't followed, so he quietly turned around and ran to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Outside the side door of the Seventh Prince, seeing that lonely figure who had been waiting for a long time, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "My minister greets the Seventh Prince, Seventh Prince, I have done everything you asked me to do, can you let me go?" past my family?"

Qin Xuanting looked back, condescendingly looking at this guy's condescension, and curled his lips in satisfaction.

The folding fan in his hand tapped on his head, "Why do you need to do such a great gift, get up."

Liu Changyu was about to get up, but when he saw the cunning flashing by the corner of Qin Xuanting's lips, he knelt back obediently, "Seventh Prince, the old minister's family members are all innocent, please let them go! Don't worry, you I will definitely not disclose the things I have explained to anyone, I, I will return to Pingcheng right away, no, I will resign and return to my hometown, and it will not affect your grand plans, do you think so?"

"Resign?" Qin Xuanting was obviously a little surprised, but seeing Liu Changyu trembling all over, he looked up to the sky and screamed, "Ha, hahaha, old guy, we have lived in harmony in Pingcheng for three or four years anyway, Is this prince the kind of cruel and merciless person?"

"Yes, yes, the Seventh Prince is kind-hearted and very generous. Now that Concubine Min Gui is about to become the empress, the crown prince will soon be yours. My minister congratulates the Seventh Prince in advance." Liu Changyu hurriedly said three words to him again. Worship the ceremony of nine knocks.

This is the first person to congratulate him on becoming a prince. The Seventh Prince was overjoyed, "Hahaha, old guy, old guy, I didn't expect you to be so flattering and flattering all your life." He put his generous palm on his shoulder, He signaled him to get up, "You don't have to be afraid, you did a good job today, the prince is very satisfied, don't worry, I will never break my promise. As long as you keep my secret, your family will not lose a hair .”

After getting an affirmative answer, Liu Changyu was grateful, "Thank you, Seventh Prince, thank you, Seventh Prince."

"Okay, the carriage has already been prepared for you, let's go." When turning around, the Seventh Prince threw him a purse,

Hearing the word 'on the road', Liu Changyu shuddered in fright, but when he opened his purse and saw a stack of bank notes inside, his nervousness relaxed, "Thank you, seventh prince, my minister Retire."

He hurriedly turned around and left. Behind him, a carriage had been waiting for a long time. It's a pity that after he got into the car, he didn't see the evil raised corners of the Seventh Prince's lips, and his clenched hands turned into machetes.
