Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters husband and wife (a)
When Yin Xiaoxiao cried, brother Lin also started to cry. While crying, he shouted: "Mom, I miss daddy. Where is daddy? Why hasn't he come back?"
Yin Xiaoxiao was heartbroken, hugging Brother Lin tightly in her arms, tears bursting into her eyes.
Little Brother Lin, I still don’t know what rebellion is, let alone what a heinous felony is!
The three vassal princes conspired together to assassinate the emperor. All three thousand imperial guards were killed, and several important court officials died in the imperial mausoleum.
What kind of fate awaits the King of Fujian and others? You don't have to think deeply to figure it out.
Her only hope is that the King of Fujian can escape death. However, this wish is really slim.
Maybe tomorrow's meeting will be the last time they meet as husband and wife. It will also be the last time Brother Lin sees his biological father... I just hope that Brother Lin will never be implicated.
The mother and son held each other's arms and cried. Brother Lin, tired of crying, curled up in Yin Xiaoxiao's arms and fell asleep. There were still crystal tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.
Yin Xiaoxiao's voice became hoarse from crying, her eyes were red from crying, and some of the depression and sorrow accumulated in her heart also dissipated. She carefully placed her sleeping son on the bed, and then lay down beside him.
That night, Yin Xiaoxiao stayed up all night.
Zhao Changqing and Li Xiangru were not much better. When they appeared in Jiaofang Hall the next morning, their faces were haggard. Yin Xiaoxiao was followed by Brother Lin, Brother Ji stood on the left of Zhao Changqing, and Rong stood on the right.
Sister. Next to Li Xiangru is Brother Ting.
Xiao Yuhan also brought Sister Fu here.
Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong came hand in hand.
Sheng Hong was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe today, and his handsome face, which was originally a bit lazy, playful and slightly informal, now became a bit more majestic and solemn.
The only thing that didn't match the emperor's majestic aura was that Sheng Hong kept holding Xie Mingxi's hand.
Xiao Yuhan glanced at the dragon robe Sheng Hong was wearing, and the high-spirited look of Emperor Jian'an flashed in his mind. A bitterness suddenly appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he quickly lowered his eyes.
"My son has met my mother!" Sheng Hong bowed his hands in salute.
"My daughter-in-law has met my mother!" Xie Mingxi bowed.
Queen Mother Yu's eyes lingered on Sheng Hong's dragon robe for a moment, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
A few years ago, Sheng Hong tried his best to help the three princes compete for the throne, and then invited himself to become a vassal. No one expected that the throne of Qi would eventually fall into the hands of Sheng Hong.
"Let's all get back together!" Xie Mingxi's initiative to give in yesterday put Empress Dowager Yu in a good mood, and she looked much more kindly to Sheng Hong than before.
Sheng Hong was going to the morning court. After paying his respects, he excused himself and went to the Jinluan Hall.
Several feudal princesses looked at Queen Mother Yu eagerly.
Now that Xie Mingxi had made up her mind, she wanted to do things well and presently. She took the initiative and said, "Has the Queen Mother ordered someone to draw up the Phoenix Decree?"
Empress Dowager Yu did not hesitate and said calmly: "Zhi Lan, bring me Feng Zhi."
Zhilan held the Phoenix Edict with the Phoenix seal on it and presented it to Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi accepted Feng's order with a smile, turned around and said to Zhao Changqing, Yin Xiaoxiao and Li Xiangru: "Sister-in-law of the emperor, I will accompany you to the prison."
At this moment, even Li Xiangru felt a faint feeling of gratitude towards Xie Mingxi.
…
Several vassal kings were all imprisoned in the prison in the palace.
Compared with the clan mansion, the sky prison in the palace is even more heavily guarded. Hundreds of imperial guards are on duty in shifts. No one else is allowed to approach. Several feudal princesses live in the palace and cannot visit the sky prison.
Husband.
Today, Xie Mingxi came with the Queen Mother's Feng Zhi in hand. The leading guard commander looked at Feng Zhi before opening the door to the prison.
Xie Mingxi looked at it and her eyes flashed slightly.
The power Queen Mother Yu operated in the palace was deeper and more powerful than she had imagined. Even the commander of the Royal Forest Guards who was responsible for guarding the Tianlao also obeyed Queen Mother Yu's orders.
The three feudal princesses, each leading their children, almost couldn't wait to enter the prison.
The smell in the cell was bad and the light was dim.
Xie Mingxi deliberately slowed down and stopped more than ten meters away from the prison where the feudal kings were imprisoned. In this way, he could keep an eye on everyone without any accidents and would not affect these three people.
Talk to couples when they get together.
The three vassal princes were each imprisoned in a not-so-large prison. They were several meters apart from each other. If they wanted to speak, they had to raise their voices.
In fact, the three of them have not talked at all for more than a month.
They conspired to assassinate the emperor, and there is irrefutable proof. The first thing the new emperor will do after he ascends the throne is to severely punish these three vassal kings. They have no way to survive and are just waiting to die.
How can a person who knows he will die still be in the mood to gossip?
When the prison door was opened and their wives and children appeared in front of them, the mood of the feudal kings was very complicated.
Is this the last journey for them?
…
"Your Highness!" Li Xiangru was the first to cry: "Your Highness has suffered! These days, I have been worried about Your Highness, and it was only today that I was allowed to come. Your Highness..."
The panic, desolation, fear and despair that Li Xiangru had accumulated for a long time all turned into raging tears.
The young brother Ting saw his own father, who was so thin that he was almost out of shape, with messy hair and beard. He was so frightened that he hid behind Li Xiangru.
Li Xiangru held Ting's hand tightly and cried, "Brother Ting, don't be afraid, this is your father! Please call me father quickly!"
Brother Ting's hand was clenched so hard that he couldn't hide away even if he wanted to. Li Xiangru forced him to stand in front of the King of Ningxia, making eye contact with the King of Ningxia.
Brother Ting was so frightened that he cried loudly.
As he grew up, he saw his biological father only a few times and had no impression of the King of Ningxia at all. Today, he was first frightened by the depressing and dull atmosphere in the prison, and now he was even more frightened by the cold look of the King of Ningxia, so that he did not dare to move.
All she could do was cry at the top of her lungs: "Concubine, I want to leave! I'm not here! I want to leave!"
Is this his son?
Why is it useless to cry so easily?
The King of Ningxia frowned and looked at Li Xiangru: "After I die, if you are not implicated, you must raise Brother Ting."
After a pause, he added: "If you, mother and son, are implicated by me and are executed together, I can't forgive you."
This was the most tender word he had ever said to her since they got married.
Li Xiang burst into tears: "Your Highness will not die, I will beg my grandfather, I will beg my mother, I will beg the emperor, and beg them to let His Highness go..."
The king of Ningxia was cruel to others, and he was also cruel to himself. Hearing these words, he was not moved. Instead, he said angrily: "The son of the Sheng family only bleeds but does not shed tears. I, Sheng Hao, would rather die standing than kneel."
Fight for survival."
"Li Xiangru, listen to me. You are not allowed to kneel down and beg anyone. Otherwise, when you go to Huangquan underground in the future, don't come to see me."
Li Xiangru cried so hard that she was out of breath and couldn't say another word.
