==Chapter 92 Letter==
At three o'clock in the morning, the sun gradually rose higher.
After Xiao Lianyu left, Xiao Yu sat alone in the hall, with lowered eyebrows, secretly rubbing the fingers on his hands, and was silent for a long time.
The door of the palace opened with a creak, and Eunuch Sheng walked in holding a flute.
Eunuch Sheng had not seen the emperor like this for a long time, and he couldn't help but be startled.
But thinking about the urgent words from Mr. Xue’s mouth, he had no choice but to step forward, bow and say: “Your Majesty, this is the result of the criminal trial submitted by Xue Shangshu.”
Xiao Yu took it, looked at it, raised his eyes and said, "How about the second prince?"
"The second prince and Princess Baoyin have woken up. Princess Baoyin...has been clamoring to thank Your Majesty in person for saving your life." At this point, Eunuch Sheng paused, and the conversation changed: "Your Majesty's medicine hasn't been changed yet. Do you want to summon Ningyuan to enter the palace?"
Xiao Yu raised his hand and pinched his temples, stood up directly, and said in a deep voice: "No need, let's go first."
Seeing that his movements were too large, Eunuch Sheng quickly went to help him. Xiao Yu took back his hand and said, "I've been fine for a long time."
Eunuch Sheng followed up with a few steps, and said in panic: "Your Majesty! Falling from a horse is not a small thing! Didn't Dr. Ning say that yesterday? This injury is so severe that you need to take a good rest for a hundred days. What's more, His Majesty is still injured on the back of his neck. Skin and flesh injuries can catch up with the summer heat. If you are not careful, the root cause of the disease will fall. Don't underestimate it!"
Xiao Yu felt helpless. He led troops to fight the enemy at the age of eighteen. No matter how serious his injuries were on the battlefield, he could only apply plant ashes. For such a small injury, he had to change medicine three times a day?
Eunuch Sheng was not discouraged and continued to talk, "Most of your majesty's old injuries were not healed well, and you will feel more pain during the rainy season. This servant saw it, and he was very worried. Your majesty, then When will we meet Princess Baoyin?"
Xiao Yu paused and said, "I am seeing her brother Wang."
Eunuch Sheng gritted his teeth and continued: "These ten thousand things are not as important as your Majesty's dragon body. It is better for your Majesty to meet anyone than to meet the Ning Yuan Zheng first."
Xiao Yu turned a deaf ear and sneered in his heart: After a hundred days of rest, will the court still be able to turn around?
Who would have expected that as soon as he walked out of the palace gate and before he even got down the steps, he bumped into Qin Juan, who was walking towards her. She was holding a lacquered plate in her hand, with clothes, white cloth, and brown medicine bottles on it. .
Qin Juan raised her eyes and looked at him: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yu’s Adam’s apple twitched, “I was going to find you.”
"That's just right." A smile appeared at the corner of Qin Juan's lips, "Ning Yuan just said that it is summer now, and the wound on His Majesty's neck needs to be dressed to avoid getting to the root of the disease. Repeated injections in the future will cause trouble. ”
Xiao Yu paused, turned around and followed her back to the hall.
Xiao Yu's eyes fell on her.
Her figure is the same as before, still tall and slender, but she is not so thin that she cannot hold up plain clothes as Changning just said.
Qin Juan cut the white cloth, covered it with the medicine and geranium powder for pain relief that Ningyuan was sending, walked to Xiao Yu's side, raised her head and said: "Your Majesty, sit down, I can't reach it."
Xiao Yu sat down calmly.
Qin Juan bent over to change his dressing.
Her breath swept back and forth on his neck. Xiao Yu subconsciously clenched his fist and tilted his head to avoid it.
Qin Juan said softly: "Does it hurt?"
Xiao Yu looked at her straightly, "A little bit."
"Then I should be gentler." Qin Juan's fingertips fell on his back and whispered: "The blood is seeping out, and the scabs are sticking to the clothes. I just happened to bring it with me. Come over and change your clothes, okay?"
Xiao Yu looked down at his left arm and hinted at her: "Aling, my left arm..."
Qin Juan nodded and said: "Your Majesty, just sit still and don't move."
Qin Juan helped him take off his clothes, looked at the bruises on his left arm, and couldn't help but frowned: "Can I still lift my arm?"
Xiao Yu raised his head and said hoarsely: "It will be better if you take it slow."
Eunuch Sheng’s mouth twitched.
Qin Juan hugged him and carefully helped him change his clothes. When he was changing the sleeves of his left arm, he heard the emperor hissing in a low voice. After a hundred days of rest, your Majesty will pay attention when you return to Beijing."
"I know." Xiao Yu raised his right hand and pinched her waist, "Aling, have you lost weight again?"
Hearing these words, Eunuch Sheng's lips twitched again. Hearing this hurt his heart, and he simply retreated on his knees.
As soon as the door of the palace was closed, Lu Ze hurried over and said, "I have a big brother here. I am anxious to see your Majesty. Please let me know."
Eunuch Sheng's eyes were full of loneliness that others could not understand. He raised the corners of his lips, but his tone was extremely sad: "Master Lu, just wait a minute. Your Majesty is not feeling well. He needs to change the dressing. He won't be able to come out for a while. ”
Lu Ze frowned and said: "Change the dressing? Your Majesty told me yesterday that it was not serious. Could it be that it is serious again? Can we still leave for Beijing?"
The curvature of Eunuch Sheng's mouth remained unchanged and he whispered: "Qin Zhaoyi is changing His Majesty's dressing inside."
Whether this is serious or not sometimes depends on the individual.
", then I'll come back later."
The one inside is not a concubine, she is clearly the emperor's pet peeve. When it comes to Qin Juan, Lu Ze really doesn't even dare to think about competing for his favor.
****************
In the afternoon of the same day, the emperor and his officials set off back to Beijing as quickly as possible.
Yuzhou’s 20,000 cavalrymen and the Mongolian envoys were among them. The group was so vast that there were more horses and carriages than when they arrived.
But it is said that the thrilling hunt in Lishan Mountain in the fifth year of Yanxi was even more thrilling than that of Yongchang 18.
First, the emperor was injured, and the second Mongolian prince almost died, and then nine officials above the fifth rank were arrested for no reason.
Immediately afterwards, a fire burned the mountain and burned out the two children hidden by the eldest princess. Finally, Su Huaian, a remnant of the Su family, appeared in Lishan.
Even if the emperor deliberately suppressed the news and strictly prohibited it from being spread outside, there seemed to be a person in everyone's heart who was "absolutely reliable and would not betray him." , the news was sent back to the capital first.
But the more secretive the news, the more diverse it spreads.
Xiao Yu had already anticipated this, so he sent people to rush to deliver the news to Zhuang Sheng.
As soon as he entered Beijing, all the major teahouses, wine shops, theaters, and Chu palaces were discussing this.
Yunli Long Street, Wangyue Tower.
"Did you hear that! Su Huaian has returned to Beijing!"
"Who doesn't know this yet? Brother Lin, do you know that the remnant of the Su family has a child with the eldest princess?"
"The eldest princess is crazy! She actually has a child with the Su family?"
"The Su family has collaborated with the enemy and treason. How can the son of Su Huai'an have any dignity like this!"
"The saint favored the Demon Queen back then and was already lax in governing the country. Now that he allows Su Jingbei's son to survive, it is simply a shame to the hearts of the people in the world."
"My sixty thousand soldiers died in vain."
Every time someone said these irresistible and outrageous words, a "sense person" happened to pass by, and then waved his hand and said: "This is an old thing, brothers, do you know that it is going to be reviewed by the judicial committee?" ?"
"What?"
"What kind of judicial review?"
The "understanding person" said loudly: "I heard that the Su family did not commit rebellion back then, but was harmed by traitors from the enemy country. There was another hidden story in the case four years ago."
"Are you telling the truth?"
The "understanding person" continued loudly: "Of course it is true. If it were not a very serious case, how could the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate be alarmed? How can there be any falsehoods in the judicial review?"
Everyone nodded, then hesitated: "Then...the eldest princess's child..."
The "understanding person" added: "This is still talking about the lantern festival four years ago, when the enemy's spies tried to kidnap the eldest princess..."
Overnight, all kinds of news flew all over the sky. Just the old story between Su Huaian and the eldest princess spread into seven or eight versions.
Only one thing remains unchanged - almost everyone's eyes are focused on the inter-divisional hearing two days later.
************
On the eve of the interrogation, a person knocked on the door of the eldest princess’s mansion.
The sky was getting dark and drizzling. Lu Ze did not hold an umbrella, but looked over his head and frowned and said, "Excuse me, please let me know. I want to see the eldest princess."
Qingyu was stunned. She never expected that the person arriving would be Lu Ze, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Qingyu quickly returned to Fulantang to report, "Your Highness, Commander Lu is outside asking for a meeting."
Lu Yanqing?
What is he here for?
Xiao Lianyu put down her sleeping daughter in her arms, picked up her skirt and walked out.
Xiao Lianyu glanced at the package in his hand and knew who Lu Ze was here for today. She said coldly: "Princess Mansion does not accept items from unknown origins!"
Lu Ze smiled and said, "I'd like to trouble you, eldest princess, so that I can go back and pay errands."
Xiao Lianyu asked: "What is the difference between the Marquis and the same criminal minister?"
Lu Ze did not dare to offend her, so he had to play the emotional card and said in a low voice: "Be loyal to others when entrusted by others, Changning."
Xiao Lianyu accepted it with a straight face.
After returning to the inner room, I threw the package aside. Every once in a while, I glanced at it. After glancing back, I finally reached out and opened it.
Wrapped in plum-colored satin is a hollow wooden box made of huanghuali wood, with two jade pendants placed flat inside.
Engraved respectively are Su Youlin and Su Lingyi.
Xiao Lianyu stroked the new carvings on the jade pendant, as if she saw the man nodding and carving words seriously. As he thought about it, his eyes suddenly turned red.
She clenched her fist and was about to put the jade pendant back. When she picked up the box, she suddenly found a piece of vermilion letter at the bottom, with the four characters "Sincerely My Beloved Wife" written in the middle.
Xiao Lianyu stared at him for a moment, and after a long while, he finally shook them off.
There are only a few sentences in it——
I have been living an ignoble life for four years, but I don’t know that I am a father. I have been humiliated by you for many years. Jingming does not dare to forgive my sin. I only hope that I will not give up and can comfort me in the future.
Husband Su Huaian.
Book from Prison in Dali Temple.
The moment Xiao Lianyu blinked, tears fell on the letter. Her nose felt sore, she held her knees with her hands and cried loudly, sobbing and cursing bastard.
The sound of rain outside the window was confusing, and she was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She suddenly stood up, took an umbrella, put on her curtain hat and pushed the door open.
The carriage rolled through Yunli Long Street and stopped in front of the majestic government office. All the things in the past suddenly came to mind.
It’s summer again.
It’s in front of the main temple again.
The whisper fell on the umbrella. The guard of Dali Temple had a serious face and stretched out his hand to stop her, "Who is it?"
The eldest princess raised her hand to lift the curtain hat and showed him the token.
No one among the guards in front of the Dali Temple dared to say that they did not know the eldest princess, and no one dared to stop the eldest princess.
The officer cognizantly held the sword on his waist, opened the door, and bowed to lead the person in.
She walked through a dark corridor.
There was silence in the prison, the candles flickered, and the gentleman was seen standing upright, neatly dressed, with his hands and feet unshackled, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
Xiao Lianyu dropped the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, lifted the curtain, walked over step by step, and stood outside the prison door to look at him.
His figure is still as majestic as before, but his eyes no longer have the same high-spiritedness as before.
I couldn't say a word I wanted to say, but the tears I didn't want to shed burst into my eyes.
Her lips trembled slightly and she scolded softly: "Who allows you to call me your wife..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Huaian took a step forward, stretched out his arms, gently wrapped his arms around her neck, leaned over and kissed her through the black prison bars.
The lips and teeth are close to each other, separated, and entangled with each other with repeated force, regardless of it.
Xiao Lianyu wanted to bite him hard, but the teeth fell on his lips, trembling again and again, but she couldn't bring herself to bite him.
The man naturally noticed her soft heart.
She didn't bite, so he brought it to her lips.
Su Huaian gasped and murmured vaguely: "Here you go, bite it, bite it."
I don’t know how long it took, but there was the sound of conversation outside. The princess pushed the person away instantly, and the footsteps came from far away. The ministers and ministers of Dali Temple stood at the door at an inappropriate time, looking in front of them. The two people stopped almost at the same time, and Mr. Zheng lowered his head to glance at the key in his waist.
Xiao Lianyu picked up the curtain hat on the ground as if nothing had happened, put it on, turned around and left.
Su Huai'an looked at her back and said in a gentle voice: "When the interrogation is over, I will personally come to apologize to my husband."
