Chapter 999 Dancing with Despair and Fear (Second Update)
Author: Moon Meow
Cai Qingyun was quickly taken down, and when she saw many of her subordinates, she knew the situation was over.
After Dai came to look for her the year before last, she was frightened for a while, but later she saw that there was no movement from the court, so she thought she had successfully concealed it. Unexpectedly, two years later, what was supposed to come came.
Where is Rong An?
Rong An will definitely come to save her, right?
In the past two years, because she was made obese by her aunt, Cai Qingyun refused to meet Rong An on the grounds that she wanted to be clean. She knew in her heart the bad nature of men. If she looked hateful and ugly, after Rong An met her,
She might still love her wholeheartedly. When Rong An's people came over, she would put on a curtain to prevent them from seeing her true appearance. The only thing that comforted her was that Rong An's feelings for her didn't seem to have changed.
, often gives her paintings he painted himself. Every painting is hers.
Cai Qingyun carefully hid those paintings and buried them in a box under the tree. The connection between her and Rong An should not be discovered.
She didn't expect Rong An to clear her of the charges - her subordinates were all killed, and the crime of killing her aunt was enough to send her to death. She only hoped that Rong An could take the past friendship into account and
Try to find a way for her to fake her death and leave the prison.
Cai Qingyun was imprisoned in a prison, and her subordinates were taken away one by one. Every time one of them was taken away, she was frightened.
At night, her adoptive mother Qu Lin was also sent to prison.
When she saw her adoptive mother, Cai Qingyun couldn't help but scream.
The foster mother looked like she had been punished. There was not even a piece of good flesh on her body, and her wounds were all open.
She lay on the ground, her hands hanging limply.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Cai Qingyun's tears immediately fell, on the one hand because of what happened to her adoptive mother, and on the other hand because of herself.
The adoptive mother has become so virtuous, how can she end up well?
Qu Lin naturally heard her voice, but she was in so much pain that she couldn't even lift her fingers. In the past few years, she had given all her power to her adopted daughter. With her unremitting efforts, Prince Zhen's power became more and more powerful.
When he got older, he relied on some ministers' leverage and money to clear the way. Many ministers throughout the court had only good things to say about him. Qu Lin was not unhappy, even if Rong An failed to ascend the throne, he would at least be a prince in the future. He was ill-fated.
She might also be able to rise to the top because of this. She didn't expect her dream to be shattered so quickly.
It turned out that Su Yueling had always noticed what she had done in the past few years. Even Prince Zhen, whom she had high hopes for, was not of the same mind as them from the beginning to the end. From the beginning, they lost, completely.
Completely like a buffoon.
If it weren't for her unwillingness, with the power and money in her hands, she would have been able to live a life of food and clothing without worrying about food and clothing, instead of being thrown into prison, like a crushed flower.
What she didn't understand was why Su Yueling kept her here until now. They had obtained the evidence a long time ago, right?
A lot of the past came to mind in her mind, and she wanted to say a few words to Cai Qingyun, the adopted daughter she had watched grow up, but she only made a sound like the wind blowing through a broken box.
Qu Lin recalled in a daze that her throat had become mute and her tendons and hamstrings had also been picked out.
"Auntie, auntie! Speak!"
Cai Qingyun was overwhelmed by fear and despair, and kept calling her, hoping that she would say a few words. However, what she was waiting for was in the cell next to her. Her aunt's eyes finally closed, and she slowly stopped breathing.
.
Cai Qingyun's heart was so cold that she seemed to see a dark future for herself.
…
Facts have proved that Qu Lin was just the beginning. Then many people were sent to this prison one after another to be neighbors with Cai Qingyun, all of whom Cai Qingyun had colluded with. Compared with these officials, Cai Qingyun
It seemed smaller.
The prison guards lamented, "If we continue to bring people here, our prison will no longer be able to accommodate people."
"Do you think these people are out of their minds? They just want to live a good life, but if they insist on rebelling, they will pay for it for the whole family."
"Oh my god, there are even third-rank ministers! This is the first time I have seen such a big official with my own eyes. Our prison cell is promising, and it is the first time that so many ministers have been imprisoned." The third-rank minister whom the Yamen officer lamented was Chen Huiqing, the censor of Zuodu.
When Chen Huiqing saw Cai Qingyun, he understood everything and lost the strength to defend himself. Rather than being deprived of his official position, he dared not let the scandal between him and his daughter-in-law be made public, which would completely ruin her reputation.
The best outcome for him is probably to be demoted to a commoner. No matter how good-tempered we are today, we can't tolerate people who try to usurp the throne. I just don't know how he will deal with Rong An. Although Prince Zhen was adopted, the two
Human blood cannot be cut off. If he disposes of his brother during his father's filial piety period, he is afraid that he will be involved in a storm of public opinion.
Since Rong An, the culprit, did not suffer any life-threatening injuries, then their accomplices should not be given harsh sentences, right?
Chen Huiqing thought this way, now he can only use this method to comfort himself.
In just seven days, as many as seventeen officials were imprisoned in the cell. Their relatives were trapped in the mansion, otherwise the prison would not be able to fit in them.
When they got to the back, Cai Qingyun even saw the guards and wet nurse who had been serving Rong An.
However, they still didn't see Rong An, who was supposed to be sent in with them. Cai Qingyun gradually gave up, and Rong An was probably in trouble. There was no way to rescue her.
Even though these people were not severely punished, they still felt that life was so difficult that it could be said that their days seemed like years.
It wasn't until May 28th that they met Rong An.
To their surprise, Rong An walked into the prison. Although he was wearing plain clothes, he was wearing an excellent jade pendant around his waist. The officer behind him looked at him with a flattering look, "Prince Zhen, they are all here."
here."
Prince Zhen?
The guilty ministers and Qu Lin in the prison were all shocked. Before they were imprisoned, Rong An was just the king of the county. Before the death of the Supreme Emperor, he was not crowned a prince. Was it today that Emperor Rong Zhao crowned him? He
How could a brother who tried to usurp the throne be canonized?
They felt their minds were in a mess.
Cai Qingyun's face was pale and her voice was trembling, "You, have you become a prince?"
Rong An looked at her, almost unrecognizable that she was the beautiful girl in his memory. He was still very grateful to Cai Qingyun. Thanks to her, he didn't have to work hard for the rest of his life and could live a peaceful life.
He nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor named me a prince three days ago."
