Hearing Zhang Kun's words, Yin Lihua, Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e were all shocked.
Especially Xueying and Hongjian, they had always believed that Luo You was deliberately trying to seduce the emperor. This time Liu Xiu specially summoned Luo You, which made them believe that Luo You had bad intentions and secretly aroused the emperor's hatred for her.
interest.
But they never expected that Luo You would end up in Yeting Prison. You must know that in the palace, you can't be sent to Yeting Prison just for making any mistakes. Those who can be sent to Yeting Prison have committed
Serious crime, major case.
Yin Lihua came back to her senses, looked at Liu Xiu in surprise, and asked: "Your Majesty, Luo You... what mistake did she make?"
Zhang Kun first looked at Liu Xiu, and then said to Yin Lihua: "Luo You is in the palace, having a private meeting with people outside the palace."
Yin Lihua frowned secretly, when did this happen, why didn't she know?
Zhang Kun continued: "If that's all, the big thing can be reduced to a trivial matter. However, after investigation, the person who had a private meeting with Luo You was a spy sent to Luoyang by Gongsun Shu. From this, it can also be inferred that Luo You had a secret meeting with Luo You.
Eighty-nine times out of ten, You are also a detailed work by Gongsun Shu."
"This...how is this possible?!" Yin Lihua looked in disbelief. Luo You had saved her twice. If Luo You was Gongsun Shu's secret work, why did he save her?!
Zhang Kun said seriously: "Luo You and Gongsun Shu had a private meeting in detail. The palace guards saw it with their own eyes, and the evidence is conclusive! My lord, as the saying goes, you know people but don't know their hearts. Luo You seems timid and simple, but in fact it is not simple!"
Yin Lihua was silent for a moment, looked at Liu Xiu, and asked, "Has Your Majesty already known about this?"
Of course Liu Xiu couldn't admit it, he said softly: "I just learned about this. As for whether Luo You is Gongsun Shu's work, further investigation is needed. I have asked Feiyan to investigate.
If Luo You is innocent, Feiyan will not wrongly accuse her, and if she is indeed Gongsun Shu's work, Feiyan will definitely find out the truth."
Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xiu blankly. Luo You was the work of Gongsun Shu. This news was too shocking and unbelievable to her. She murmured: "This... this is impossible!
How can Luo You be a meticulous artist?!"
Liu Xiu walked up to Yin Lihua, held her hand, and said: "I don't want to believe this is true, but these are extraordinary times and there is no room for carelessness. Anyone who is suspicious needs to be scrutinized strictly."
Yin Lihua didn't speak anymore. She didn't even know how she got back to the West Palace, and her mind went blank. Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e looked at her devastated look, and the latter persuaded her in a low voice: "My lord, this servant also thinks this is the case."
There may be a misunderstanding, noble lady, don’t worry too much, the beauty is quick-witted and cannot tolerate disdain in her eyes. If Luo You is indeed innocent, the beauty will definitely restore her innocence.”
Xueying and Hongjian looked at each other, not knowing what to say. If Luo You wanted to be in power and tried every means to please and seduce the emperor, they believed it, but if Luo You was Gongsun Shu's detailed work, they both believed it.
Do not believe.
Yin Lihua took a deep breath and murmured: "If there is no irrefutable evidence, Your Majesty will not send Luo You to Yeting Prison."
As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. Luo You is from the West Palace after all. Based on this alone, His Majesty will not touch her easily. Now that he has touched her, it can only prove one point, which is irrefutable.
Li Xiu'e looked at Xue Ying and Hong Jian, who had their heads lowered, and said, "No matter whether Luo You was careful or not, at least it is now clear that Luo You did not seduce His Majesty, nor did Your Majesty visit Luo You to mess with the nobles' ears.
You are gossiping and deliberately trying to sow discord between Your Majesty and the nobles."
Her words shocked Xueying and Hong Jian. The two women knelt on the ground at the same time and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, even if I have the courage, I would not dare to provoke your majesty and your lord."
It’s a relationship, please be aware of everything!”
Yin Lihua distractedly waved her hands to the two of them, indicating that they both got up. Then she looked at Li Xiu'e and warned her with her eyes not to talk nonsense.
Li Xiu'e bowed to Yin Lihua, but still glared at Xueying and Hongjian.
The relationship between Liu Xiu and Luo You was completely innocent. This indeed made Yin Lihua secretly sigh with relief. However, before she could exhale this relieved breath, her heart was in her throat again.
In a place like Yeting Prison, good people have to be skinned when they enter. Now Luo You can't tell how much torture he has endured!
Yin Lihua thought about it, stood up suddenly, and said: "I still have to go to Qingliang Hall to meet His Majesty!"
"Noble man, you must not do this!" This time, Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e's reactions were surprisingly unanimous.
Xue Ying said in a trembling voice: "My lord, before I have investigated clearly whether Luo You is doing this in detail, my lord cannot ask for this kind of love!"
If Luo Youzhen is Gongsun Shu's masterpiece, and the noble man goes to the emperor to plead for mercy, wouldn't it be like getting into trouble?
Luo You is from the West Palace, and there is a spy in the West Palace. This is very disgraceful in itself, and it is enough to arouse criticism. If you go to plead for Luo You again, maybe you will be pushed to the forefront and be criticized.
People said it was an affair with Gongsun Shu.
Yin Lihua is so smart, so naturally she knows everything. She understands what Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e mean, but if she is asked to do nothing but wait in the West Palace, she can't do it.
She said: "Even if I can't plead with Your Majesty, I still have to go to Yeting Prison!"
"Your Excellency——" Ye Ting Prison is even more impossible to go to! Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e all looked embarrassed and shook their heads at Yin Lihua.
Yin Lihua said seriously: "If today instead of Luo You, but any of you were sent to Yeting Prison, I would still go to see her!"
Her words moved Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e, and they no longer tried to dissuade Yin Lihua. They followed Yin Lihua to Yeting Prison together.
Ye Ting Prison is not a place where concubines from the harem can enter casually. Fortunately, the person in charge of Ye Ting Prison now is Hua Feiyan. After hearing the news of Yin Lihua's arrival, Hua Feiyan pondered for a moment before walking out of Ye Ting.
Prison, meet Yin Lihua.
"Yin Guiren!" "Flower Beauty!" The two exchanged greetings. Yin Lihua asked directly without any unnecessary nonsense: "Flower Beauty, is Luo You in prison now?"
Hua Feiyan didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "Yin Guiren, Luo You is here now!"
"She...she is really Gongsun Shu's masterpiece?" Yin Lihua asked in disbelief.
Hua Feiyan said: "Luo You is an unusual person and has a very strict mouth. She hasn't told the truth yet."
Yin Lihua said anxiously: "Maybe Luo You is indeed innocent!"
Hua Feiyan smiled at Yin Lihua and said softly: "Yin Guiren, we all know that Luo You has saved Yin Guiren more than once. Because of this, how can we do it without sufficient evidence?
Then arrest Luo You and send him to Yeting Prison?"
Yin Lihua was silent. After a while, she asked: "Can I go in and see Luo You?"
"This..." Hua Feiyan hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Yin Lihua, led by Hua Feiyan, walked into Yeting Prison. In the execution room, she finally met Luo You.
At this time, Luo You looked extremely embarrassed. He was completely naked, his hair was disheveled, and his whole body was wet from head to toe.
Seeing this scene, not to mention Yin Lihua was startled, even Xueying, Hongjian, and Li Xiu'e trembled involuntarily.
After entering Yeting Prison, people are no longer treated as human beings. Luo You, who was usually so exquisite and beautiful, has been tortured to the point where he is no longer a human being and a ghost.
Yin Lihua looked at Luo You for a long time, then turned to Hua Feiyan and said, "Hua Meiren, this..."
Hua Feiyan whispered: "Yin Guiren, Feiyan has been merciful enough." At present, she has only waterboarded Luo You. In Yeting Prison, waterboarding can only be regarded as an appetizer, and it is more vicious than waterboarding.
The torture was too much.
Of course Yin Lihua could understand the underlying meaning of Hua Feiyan's words, and she really couldn't blame Hua Feiyan because he was indeed merciful.
She walked to the bed, looked at the unconscious Luo You who was tied up on it, and called softly: "Luo You? Luo You, can you hear me?"
Under Yin Lihua's repeated calls, Luo You slowly opened her eyes. After a while, her distracted gaze gradually gained focus and fell on Yin Lihua's face.
Seeing that the person next to her was Yin Lihua, Luo You's eyes turned red, and her eyes were instantly covered with mist. She trembled feebly and said: "My lord, my maid... I have been wronged. My maid has been wronged...
Noble man, please save your maid..."
Seeing Luo You's miserable condition and listening to her pleas, Yin Lihua's heart was as sharp as a knife. She raised her hand to untie the cord at the collar, took off the cloak from behind, and gently covered Luo You's body, and then
She turned to look at Hua Feiyan and said, "Hua Meiren, we've almost finished the trial today. That's it for today, okay?"
Hua Feiyan didn't answer immediately. He thought for a while, but finally nodded and said, "Since it's Yin Guiren who speaks, Feiyan naturally doesn't dare to disobey the order."
As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at her maids. The two maids walked up to Luo You and untied her hands and feet. Then, they immediately added iron shackles and dragged Luo You down.
.
Just as Yin Lihua was about to follow her out, Hua Feiyan took a step forward, stood in front of Yin Lihua, and said, "Feiyan has already broken the rules of Yeting Prison by letting Yin Guiren enter Yeting Prison to visit Luo You.
I hope you don’t make Feiyan too difficult to do.”
Yin Lihua looked at Hua Feiyan, bowed to her to express her gratitude, and ultimately did not follow her out.
On the first day, Hua Feiyan did not find out anything about Luo You. The next day, Hua Feiyan continued to interrogate Luo You. Similar to the situation on the first day, Luo You still refused to say anything and insisted that he was wrongly accused.
of.
This time Hua Feiyan did not torture Luo You again. She looked at Luo You with a smile, nodded, and then clapped her hands. The door of the torture room opened and two guards walked in, dragging one person in at the same time.
"Luo You, you should be familiar with him, right?" Hua Feiyan said slowly.
Luo You took a closer look, and her face suddenly changed. The person dragged in by the guards was none other than her senior brother Du Qing. She couldn't help but take a breath, and saw with shock and horror that her whole body was covered with scars.
Du Qing.
Du Qing slowly raised his head and looked at Luo You. His eyes fell on her face for a while, and then he looked around at the other people in the execution room. He said word by word: "What other skills do you have?
I come!"
"Haha!" Hua Feiyan laughed and said, "This is not the county prison, but the Yeting Prison. Even if your body is covered with iron thorns, it will be smoothed away bit by bit here."
As he spoke, he looked at Luo You and continued: "Luo You, if you still refuse to say anything, you will die and he will die too. If you are willing to tell the truth, you have saved Yin Guiren twice.
With his merits, not only you may be exempted, but he may also be exempted along with you. Now, do you want to tell the truth?"
After hearing what Hua Feiyan said, Luo You sweated like rain. She was not afraid of death or torture, but she didn't want Senior Brother Du to die.
Ever since she was adopted by Si'a, the person who cared for her the most was Du Qing. In her mind, she had long regarded Du Qing as her own relative.
