Five days later, everyone rushed back to the capital.
Ling Muer originally thought that they were fast enough to return to the capital before Shangguan Shaochen and Liu Xi, so as to find out the current situation in the capital in advance, but she didn't expect that when they just entered the city gate, Shangguan Shaochen's team Also followed into the capital.
What surprised her even more was that Shangguan Shaochen, who was originally only wearing iron chains, was imprisoned in a prison car.
"How could this happen?" Ling Muer in the dark was extremely surprised, she rushed up to ask to understand, but Nangong Yizhi who seemed to understand something hurriedly held her down.
"Mu'er, wait, look over there." Nangong Yizhi pointed in the opposite direction, and saw three people riding on horseback with imperial decrees in their hands, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
"Probably to make a judgment on my cousin, let's wait and see."
After Nangong Yi finished speaking, he saw that the man in the middle on the horseback opened the imperial decree in his hand, "Follow the heavens to carry the emperor, call and say, the second prince Shangguan Shaochen cultivated the army privately, and he was suspected of rebellion. It is my will to imprison the second prince and the whole of the second prince's residence in death row, and execute them after hearing, hereby!"
After the imperial decree was finished, the man rode towards General Liu Xi, handed the imperial decree to him, and shouted, "Take it away!"
Liu Xi also seemed to be shocked by such a decision. He looked at the man in shock, and saw that the man shook his head slightly at him. He had no choice but to signal to the people behind him. was taken in another direction.
In the distance, Ling Mu'er looked at everything in disbelief, broke away from Nangong Yizhi and wanted to go out.
"Mu'er, what are you doing!" Nangong Yizhi was terrified, but fortunately, he was quick enough to hold Ling Muer in place again.
"Didn't you see that they are going to take Shao Chen away and put him in death row!" Ling Mu'er went crazy.
She doesn't understand the laws of the celestial dynasty, she only knows that her man will be imprisoned in death row, what is the death row, is he dead?
Absolutely not!
"Since you have heard it, you can't go out. The prisoners on death row will implicate their families. You have also heard the imperial decree just now. I'm afraid that everyone in the second prince's mansion will be imprisoned. Come on, go with me first to be safe." place!"
Regardless of Ling Muer's objection, Nangong Yizhi forcibly took Ling Muer away, even though the latter was still struggling.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to ask what's going on!" Ling Mu'er resisted.
"The people who deliver the decree are all obeying orders. It's useless to ask them. The only way to save my cousin now is to meet the emperor. We must first find out what happened in the capital these days, and what happened to Qin Xuanting?" What did you do behind your back! Isn't it right, Mu'er?" Nangong Yizhi growled, and worried that the person who delivered the decree would arrest her when they saw Ling Muer's existence, so he hurriedly dodged and took her to the alley around the corner.
Ling Mu'er calmed down after hearing this, but she was still worried about Shangguan Shaochen's safety, "Why was he imprisoned in the death row? Didn't it mean that the maximum extent was just a sky prison? Will Shaochen be okay?"
Seeing Ling Muer's nervousness, Nangong Yizhi took a deep breath, "I'm not worried about my cousin's safety, there must be something strange about this happening suddenly, you go back to Ningguohou's mansion with me first, and I will enter the palace later Mian Sheng, don't worry, cousin will be fine."
Seeing that Shangguan Shaochen had been taken away, Ling Muer had no choice but to follow him back to Ningguohou's mansion.
outside death row.
The man who came to meet him looked at Liu Xi, "It's fine for the general to hand over the second prince to me. Those who have entered the death row will never want to go out again in this life. However, I heard that the second prince has been doing this since his trip to Pingcheng." Bringing the second concubine with me, where is the second concubine now?"
Hearing the words "Second Prince and Concubine", Shangguan Shaochen, who had been keeping quiet all this time, seemed to wake up suddenly. He stood nervously in front of the cage, "This matter has nothing to do with this prince, let alone my concubine. See Father!"
Everyone in the court knew the second prince's ability and temper. If he was really angry, I'm afraid this prison wouldn't be able to keep him.
The man froze and immediately raised the corners of his lips, "Second prince calm down, we are also obeying orders, please don't make things difficult for us. As for whether the emperor will see you, you just wait here quietly."
Fearing that the second prince's sudden anger would harm them, the man hurriedly left the prison with Liu Xi.
Outside the door, he continued to repeat the question just now, with a 180-degree change in attitude, "What about the second princess, don't say you don't know."
Liu Xi looked behind him from the corner of his eye, and then looked at the person in front of him. He was the newly appointed Shaoqing Wang Yihai under the command of the Seventh Prince. This person had stayed in the same military camp with him before, and he was very successful.
Not to mention that he also felt that the second prince was innocent in this matter, and he could not betray the second prince and concubine just because of the kindness of Ningguohou's mansion to him.
"The emperor's imperial decree at the beginning only asked me to bring back the second prince, but did not involve the second prince's concubine. Who would have thought that after arriving in the capital, the entire Second Prince's mansion would be implicated. I'm sorry, I really don't know the whereabouts of the second prince's concubine."
After the words fell, Liu Xi arched his fists and left with a flick of his sleeves.
"Hey, I said you..." Wang Yihai was angry at his arrogant attitude, but before he finished speaking, Liu Xi had already left the death row, and he shook his sleeves angrily, "Hmph."
Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Wang Yihai came to Qin Xuanting with a smirk on his face, "I greet you, sir."
After receiving the nod from the seventh prince, he hurriedly stood up like a dog's leg and came over, "Master, according to your order, the second prince has been imprisoned to death row, how do you think about it?"
"Hey, Wang Yihai, you can eat things but not talk nonsense. You were ordered by your father to arrest the second brother with an imperial edict. Why did you become my order?" The seventh prince squinted his eyes, evil The moment the charming and deep eyes shot over, Wang Yihai shuddered instantly.
"Yes, yes, I made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue." Afraid that the Seventh Prince would punish him, Wang Yihai hurriedly nodded and apologized, "Don't worry, as long as you are a person who has entered the death row, you will never come out again in this life. How do you want to punish the prisoner?" That one, isn't it just a matter of a word from the master?"
Hearing this answer, Qin Xuanting's mouth was filled with an unconcealable smile.
"Although that's what I said, but that person is my second brother after all, and it hasn't been a day or two since my father respected him, and it's not a matter of time before he comes out, but as long as he goes in, don't even think about getting out unscathed come out!"
Qin Xuanting's eyes flickered, and when he looked at Wang Yihai again, he waved his hand casually, motioning him to approach.
Wang Yihai rushed over like a pug, "What do you want me to do?"
"My prince heard that the torture equipment in the death row is not ordinary, the second emperor brother has a noble status, why don't you give him a try?"
Hearing this, Wang Yihai was taken aback for a moment, but soon he nodded with a smile in response, "The Lord has the final say, try it, but..."
Wang Yihai paused for a moment, but he could clearly see the displeasure in the eyes of the seventh prince after hearing this, so he said nervously, "It's just that this time Liu Xi brought the second prince back to Beijing without bringing the second prince and concubine with him. One piece, although my people have gone to the Second Prince's Mansion to arrest people, but I'm afraid..."
"Hmph! That woman Ling Muer is scheming and cunning, but now she seems to be afraid of death." The Seventh Prince was very upset when he learned that Ling Muer was not caught, "I thought Shangguan Shaochen was arrested, She will follow infatuatedly, and now it seems that she is nothing more than that!"
He slammed his fist on the table angrily, but soon he figured out something, "No, Ling Muer will definitely hide when Shangguan Shaochen was arrested, and she will definitely do everything possible to clear up his grievances. Wang Yihai?"
"The minister is here."
"Immediately send someone to monitor the second prince's mansion and the inside and outside of the capital. Once the whereabouts of the second prince's concubine are found, they will be captured immediately!"
"Yes, I obey the order!"
Seeing Wang Yihai leave, Qin Xuanting suddenly remembered something. "etc."
"I don't know what else I want to order?" Wang Yihai hurried back like a dog's leg.
"Ling Mu'er is very cunning, she must have guessed that I will monitor the inside and outside of the capital, and she has the backing of Ningguo Hou Mansion, it is really easy to hide, but there is only one way to successfully lure her out."
He smiled treacherously, "You, immediately lead people to surround Ling's house and arrest everyone in Ling's house!"
"Ling Mansion?" Wang Yihai didn't understand what the Seventh Prince meant, but he also knew that the Ling Mansion was innocent, "Master, the emperor ordered that only the second prince's mansion be arrested, so the Ling Mansion..."
"Bastard! Just go as soon as my prince tells you to do it. Are you disobeying my order?" Qin Xuanting was furious.
Wang Yihai hurriedly knelt on the ground, "I dare not!"
Seeing him trembling so cautiously, Qin Xuanting realized that he might be too angry, so he quickly took a deep breath to calm down, "Don't worry, I asked you to arrest the Ling family, just to lure Ling Mu'er out, not to let Ling Mu'er come out. You hurt them! You do everything according to my orders, of course, if you are afraid, you will have people surround Ling's residence, and then make noises as long as you can lure Ling Mu'er out."
As soon as he heard that he would not hurt the innocent and harm his official position, Wang Yihai hurriedly responded, "Yes, I understand, I will do it now."
As soon as Nangong Yizhi brought Ling Muer back to Ningguohou's mansion, Mrs. Ningguohou rushed out.
She grabbed Ling Mu'er nervously, "Mu'er, I've heard it all, don't worry too much, I've already had someone protect your family, and everything will be fine. As for that brat Shao Chen, I'm already here Think of a way, don't worry too much, understand?"
Unexpectedly, she received such care as soon as she entered the door. Ling Muer threw herself into Madam Ning Guohou's arms, "Mother,"
"Silly girl, don't cry, I know you are more anxious than anyone else, but why aren't we?" Mrs. Ning Guohou said, "Well, I will arrange for Yizhi to enter the palace to meet the saint, and we will talk about the situation! The emperor suddenly ordered We only found out about Shao Chen's arrest today, all of this happened so suddenly that the godmother didn't even understand what happened, so stay here and explain to me carefully."
Seeing that the godmother had arranged everything clearly, Ling Muer nodded hurriedly, grateful in her heart, "Thank you godmother."
"Silly girl, why are you being polite with your godmother?" After comforting Ling Mu'er, Mrs. Ning Guohou came to Nangong Yizhi, remembering that Shangguan Shaochen had said before leaving that the child had no news and that his life might be in danger. Looking at him standing in front of her in good condition now, all the thoughts from her mother burst out at this moment, she had never hugged him seriously before, this time she hugged her child tightly in her arms.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be fine. Silly boy, forgive mother, always put your own children last, you will understand mother, right?"
