Chapter 74

After a short time, he came to Dali Temple prison again. Bu Qingyi had a feeling of nostalgia.

Anyway, she was destined not to die in such a place, so it should be regarded as a relaxation of the tense life, although she still didn't know what she had done and which "she" had done such a thing as assassinating Princess Yuyang.

Xu Wei, the Minister of Dali temple, is no stranger to bu Qingyi, even to the point where his skull aches when he sees her. Mingming was still in high spirits. As soon as he stepped into the cell and saw Bu Qingyi, he immediately turned into a frosted eggplant, as if he was the culprit who committed a crime and was in prison.

"Tell me what happened to this case." Bu Qingyi sat cross knee on the stone bed of the cell, with the style of interrogating prisoners.

though simultaneous interpreting the charges of Yuyang princess is not the same, Xu Wei knows clearly that this status is just as common as that of the legendary Qing Xiang princess. Besides, Hou Weiyu, King Lu Jingyi and others are behind the scenes. They are more offended than Princess Yu Yang.

Reluctantly, Xu Wei tells Bu Qingyi what he knows and tries to avoid any tone that sounds like she is an assassin.

This minister of the Dali temple is so good that his heart is broken.

After hearing the whole process of the assassination case happened the night before, bu Qingyi found that this was the Bureau set up for planting her. Apart from her, there is almost no motive for other people to assassinate Princess Yuyang. Even if there is, all kinds of descriptions of the assassin can be summed up only by her.

Women, who are good at Kung Fu, hate Princess Yuyang very much.

There are really no other people besides her.

Bu Qingyi leaned back, his head resting on his hands, staring at the prison roof, silent. In fact, it's easy to understand what's going on in this assassination, but I have to say that Pei Zan's planting is really beautiful. At present, she can't find any obvious flaws.

An alibi? Yes, she was with her last night.

However, she could not testify for her. On the one hand, she should be a "dead" person, which will cause trouble if she appears; on the other hand, she is her servant in name. According to the law of Xiping, her testimony does not have credibility.

"Xu Qing, did the emperor arrest me this time?" Bu Qingyi suddenly sits up and stares at Xu Wei.

Xu Wei said with a bitter smile: "my aunt, if it's not the emperor's decree, who dares to arrest you in Xiping? It doesn't matter if you can keep the official hat on your head. I'm afraid you'll lose your life! "

"I'm not a bad broom. Look what you've said to me." Bu Qingyi mumbled and lay down again, but her eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

In the case of song Qingfeng last time, the reason why the emperor tolerated her was that she grasped the secret that the Emperor didn't want to let people know. However, the secret was not always valid. Once the emperor found a suitable excuse to refute, the secret would be useless.

From the emperor's order to arrest her this time, it can be seen that the emperor has probably thought of a good way not to be threatened by her.

Then again, if the emperor's road is blocked, who can solve the near perfect situation set up for her?

There's a name. It's coming out.

"Xu Qing, did the emperor say when this case will be interrogated? Won't you keep me here all the time? If I can't get the sun for a long time, I'll grow moss. " Step green clothes just lie on his back for a moment, then turn over and lie on his side, dragging his head to Xu Wei.

"The original intention of the emperor is to start the trial after going down to court today, but the Empress Dowager does not agree. She says that Princess Yuyang has not woken up yet, so she must make sure that Holly's identification is OK before the trial." Xu Wei wiped the sweat on her forehead and sighed, "Princess Yuyang has six swords in her body. Although she hasn't hurt her vital part, she has lost a lot of blood. I'm afraid she won't wake up for a while. This cell, whether the princess likes it or not, seems to have to live a few more days! "

Xu Wei's answer gives way, and Qingyi has a bottom in her heart.

In fact, instead of leaving the cell immediately to enter the interrogation process, she would like to delay for a few more days. After all, it takes time to get in touch with her life-saving straw.

"By the way, does King Jin know about this?" Bu Qingyi yawned.

Xu Wei nodded, but immediately shook his head: "King Jin knows that Princess Yuyang has been assassinated. But the emperor has an order that this matter should not be publicized before the Ming Dynasty, so King Jin should only know about the assassination, but he didn't know that this matter involved the princess, and probably didn't know that you were caught in Dali temple again. "

Sure enough, the emperor also expected that she would go to grab the nearest straw and deliberately excluded Lu Jingyi from the game.

"Xu Qing, I want to ask you to help me with something, OK?"

"Oh, my aunts and grandmothers, when are you still teasing me?" Xu Wei's face was so bitter that he was about to wring out his bile. "If there's anything you can tell me, I'll do it. I wish you'd be acquitted early so that I can have a good sleep."

Bu Qingyi rubbed his dry eyes and said slowly: "yes, please. I need you to see King Jin in person and tell him the cause and effect of this case. Needless to say, he will understand what to do. "This is the result Bu Qingyi didn't want to see. However, the best way is to ask him for help. She believes that Lu Jingyi will guess the conspiracy after the assassination and get along with each other to prove her innocence.

At this time, Lu Jingyi, who was in the early Dynasty, really knew nothing about Bu Qingyi's situation. Although he asked if the assassin who assassinated Princess Yuyang had been found, the Emperor gave him an ambiguous answer which had nothing to do with the name of Bu Qingyi.

"Ye Jia has his own Dali temple to track down. Just concentrate on what you should do." In the hall of diligent administration, the emperor with ulterior motives did not mention Bu Qingyi, but also deliberately cut off the topic, "Jing Yi, the Nanming mission is expected to arrive in the capital at the beginning of this month, and the task of reception will be given to you at that time. Nanming Kingdom has long had the intention of marriage. This time, a princess who is famous for her beauty has been sent with her. You should take advantage of this opportunity. "

Nanming is a friend of Xiping, whose territory is less than one tenth of Xiping's, but it has extremely rich copper and iron resources. For many years, equipment forging in the Xiping army mostly depended on the resources of Nanming, while Nanming relied on the powerful protection of Xiping. Both countries hoped to further their relations, and marriage was considered more than ten years ago.

Before that, the marriage between the two countries could not be achieved because of the age of marriage and other reasons; now the emperor's sons and daughters have become adults, and the marriage has been put on the agenda of daily life.

Lu Jingyi, who is mature, steady and in a high position, is a very popular candidate.

However, Lu Jingyi is not keen on this, or it should be said that he has been ready for marriage for a long time. After meeting someone, he is more and more reluctant to hand over the special identity of pillow man to the royal family.

"I have little talent and knowledge, and I don't know much about the customs, so I'm afraid that I won't be favored by Princess Nanming, which will affect the relations between the two countries. So please the emperor -- "

Lu Jingyi refused, but was interrupted by the emperor as if she didn't hear him:" the princess is said to be very talented and beautiful, and her age is similar to yours. The most valuable thing is that she has already expressed her love for you. You can't disgrace Xiping. If this marriage can be done, I'm sure you'll make a great contribution. "

Lu Jingyi saw that several important officials around him nodded one after another, and he had to swallow a lot of excuses in his chest - don't you understand? The emperor knew that he wanted to marry Bu Qingyi, but he didn't plan to let him get what he wanted. No matter how many reasons and excuses he said, the emperor would turn a blind eye to it.

In order to solve this contradiction, it is useless to directly argue with the emperor. It is necessary to use his last reliance.

It is Lu Jingyi's first impression to all his royal relatives that he does not fight or rob. In addition, he is always polite and gentle. Therefore, almost everyone from the Empress Dowager to the empress to many concubines likes him very much.

The Empress Dowager who often affectionately called him "grandson" was Lu Jingyi's last resort.

Empress Dowager Jiang lived alone in Yong'an hall. Although she was in the inner palace where she could not walk around at will, she was an exception to Lu Jingyi. Lu Jingyi followed the emperor from the inner court to the qinzheng hall. Now he left the qinzheng hall and went straight to Yong'an hall through the north gate. He didn't see Xu Wei waiting for him outside the qinzheng hall.

When she saw Lu Jingyi, the Empress Dowager guessed his intention. Beckoning him to sit down next to him, the Empress Dowager and Lu Jingyi's grandson and grandson have a direct talk about their marriage.

"You saw the emperor's attitude before. Although he didn't oppose it directly, he didn't think much of you and Princess Qingxiang." Empress Dowager Jiang sipped the ginseng tea and said slowly, "but it's not that there is no hope at all, otherwise the emperor won't give up. But you have to understand that Princess Qingxiang's lintel status is much worse than that of Nanming. The best result is that the princess is a concubine and she is a concubine, so it is absolutely impossible for her to grow up. "

Lu Jingyi sighed: "I'm afraid she won't accept her character."

"Whether she accepts it or not is a matter of later words. If she doesn't deal with the trouble in front of her, she can't even be a concubine."

Empress Dowager Jiang's seemingly casual words hit Lu Jingyi like a huge stone. Lu Jingyi, who is still in the drum, is aware of the regret in Empress Dowager Jiang's mouth and immediately asks: "what's wrong with her? I haven't seen her for a while, and I asked the Empress Dowager to make it clear. "

"Why, you don't know about ye Jia's assassination? The emperor suspected that it was Princess Qingxiang. Before dawn, he sent someone to her house to arrest her. At this time, he should have been locked in Dali temple. "

Lu Jingyi sat in the chair, and his eyes changed slightly.

"Thank you for telling me." Lu Jingyi whispered and got up in a hurry.

"Wait a minute." The Empress Dowager stopped him and said curiously, "don't you want to plead for her? It's an eventful time now. If the emperor doesn't tell you, it must be because he doesn't want you to interfere. Don't fight against the wind. "

Lu Jingyi looked back and said with a gentle smile, "it's just at this time that I have to find a way for her - not only the empress dowager, but also the emperor. I really want to marry her."
