Gao Yigong laughed coldly: "Alright you, Qin Gui. You even gave Zhao Deji the right to the Lifelong Prime Minister you requested, why can't you let go of just Sky Wei? Furthermore, Tianwei is his own sister. Does he really want to kill his that much? "
When Qin Gui heard him talk about "Lifelong Prime Minister", no matter how cunning he was, he could not pretend. He immediately kneeled down and said, "Giant, I ask for your understanding, this is definitely not something that we can decide ourselves. "Even though our family is the Prime Minister, if we kill or steal their lives, we'll still have the right to call forth the nine kings …"
"Qin Gui, go inside the palace and report this to Zhao Deji. Just tell him that the Fourth Prince has agreed that no one is allowed to kill Tian Wei and that if she dies, the Wei Xian Fei will die as well."
"Yes, immediately report to the palace."
Qin Gui and Wang Junhua looked at each other, even more curious. Why did Fourth Prince suddenly change his mind and insist on not killing Tian Wei? Why is that?
The doubt hidden in the bottom of Wang Junhua's heart could not help but ask, "Why does Fourth Prince want to save Tian Wei?"
"The Fourth Prince naturally has its uses, you don't have to ask."
The more strange it was, the more Qin Gui and Yue Shan didn't dare to ask.
Gao Yigong did not leave. Instead, he watched Qin Gui leave the room with burning anxiety in his heart. He wanted to discuss this with Qin Gui, but there was no chance for him to do so. Furthermore, she had never thought of offending Fourth Prince. It was just because Tianwei was too jealous, he had to get rid of it as soon as possible.
After Qin Gui left, she anxiously asked Gao Yigong: "Please bring Servant to the Fourth Prince to explain it to you."
Gao Yigong's expression was extremely arrogant: "Fourth Prince is no longer at peace."
Wang Junhua knew that Fourth Prince was unwilling to see him, so he took out a small gold cauldron that was around two kilograms in weight. Inscribed on the cauldron were many exquisite patterns, he passed it to Gao Yigong: "Tall man, please say a few words in front of Fourth Prince. Servant's couple are loyal and devoted to the Fourth Prince, but this bitch, Tianwei, was extremely mischievous. Just before she died, she framed this old man in an attempt to expose our identities. The death of Servant's wife is nothing to be regretted, but if we reveal our identity and destroy the Fourth Prince's grand plan, then the gains will not make up for the losses … "
Gao Yigong accepted the small cauldron, and two kilograms of gold was naturally a huge fortune. He used his hand to stroke the beautiful pattern on the cauldron, secretly pleased with himself, but his face was sullen: "Fine, since your husband and wife is so loyal, I'll explain this to Fourth Prince."
"Thank you for your kindness, big man."
Qin Gui was driven out of the door by Gao Yigong, and rushed straight into the palace. When he was near the palace gate, he made the sedan bearer slow down his journey, and chewed his cheek as he continuously thought of a method to deal with the situation.
It was obviously impossible to get Zhao Deji to change his order at this time. Now that he was stuck between the lines, under the suspicion of the Fourth Prince, what would he do if Zhao Deji suspected him again? He weighed the pros and cons and decided not to give up.
However, without entering the palace, he was unable to report his situation to the Fourth Prince, and up till now, all of his possessions and life were in the hands of the Fourth Prince. He braced himself and requested to see Zhao Deji.
At this time, it was already evening and Zhao Deji was already preparing to eat. Hearing that Qin Gui had requested for an audience, he was extremely surprised. He thought that it would be a negotiation from the Golden Man s and that he had been following this matter closely these past few days. Naturally, he would immediately meet with Qin Gui.
After Qin Gui bowed, he retreated to the side and first randomly introduced the situation of the Golden Man to Zhao Deji. Tomorrow, you will be a pair of Pingping Monarchs. "
"That is my only wish."
Qin Gui followed his words and flattered him a few times, then casually asked: "Your Majesty, how's the progress on the fake princess case?"
Zhao Deji let out a long sigh, "The Jail Temple Prison's investigation evidence is conclusive. That cheap maidservant was originally a nun from a hall. Because he looked similar to a princess, he coincidentally had taken the risk without hesitation due to his greed. It is a pity that I treated her like a brother, yet ended up like this. Even though he was a fake princess, I still feel sad for his. However, since the ancestors' laws are so, we must kill them! "
Even though Qin Gui had a black stomach, after hearing Zhao Deji's "benevolent and righteous" words, he still thought that he was inferior, but he had a good grasp of Zhao Deji, and wanted to kill Tian Wei no matter what.
He probed, "Your Majesty is a benevolent ruler, forgive the princess …"
"Forgiveness?" Zhao Deji could no longer feign kindness, and stared at him: "Qin Qing, do you know what the fake princess is saying? They said that Wan Wan was killed by your husband and wife! "
Qin Gui broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, that cheap maidservant is lying. Your Majesty, you must believe in this subject's loyalty. This subject has no enmity with the Princess … "
A princess can be fake, but it is impossible for a Princess to be fake. Qin Gui had completely heard the warning in Zhao Deji's words, and naturally realized that Zhao Deji had long ago suspected Wan Wan's death. The crime of murdering the Princess, if he disobeyed it, he would be executed immediately.
Qin Gui was sweating profusely from anxiety. He also understood that if Tianwei did not die, his troubles would never end. With Tianwei dead, who would still want to believe the words of a fake princess? And her identity as a "fake princess". It was decided by the Shangguan Family, who dared to say that the Shangguan Family was wrong and overturned the case for her? As for the Wei Xian Fei that he had threatened, he had been weighing the pros and cons. Why would Fourth Prince need to kill a mere old lady?
He weighed the matter several hundred times in his mind before kowtowing, "Your Majesty, we have offended an uncountable number of nobles and officials. Tian Wei and Yue Pengju were colluding with each other to form a private alliance. must be framing this subject on behalf of Yue Pengju … "
Zhao Deji's expression softened slightly, but he did not call for him to rise. She simply allowed him to kneel and said, "We naturally know that you have nothing to do with Wan Wan's death."
"Your majesty is wise."
"To negotiate with the envoys of the Jinguo, I hope that there will be no more disputes. Resolve the matter as soon as possible. "
"Yes."
"How is Yue Pengju's case?"
"Jail Temple Prison is speeding up the process. This subject will definitely settle these two matters with Fang and Yue Pengju before the Lantern Festival."
Zhao Deji suddenly asked: "How good is He Zhu at handling matters in Jail Temple Prison?"
Qin Gui had long received the news, and said that He Zhu and the rest were secretly being lenient towards Yue Pengju, and felt their teeth itch in anger. Hearing Zhao Deji's question, they immediately expressed their thoughts on denouncing him, "He Zhu has always been a scholar, regardless of the weakness of his country, he did not think that the Royal En is so mighty.
Zhao Deji frowned: "Even so, let's change our member to presiding judge."
Qin Gui was secretly delighted: "I have a candidate."
"Who?"
"Ten thousand."
"Permission granted."
Wan Ju was one of Qin Gui's trusted aides, and together with Fan Tong, they had become his most trusted men. He Zhu and the others were not in a good position, if they were in a position, it would naturally be easy to capture them.
With the light of the beans, Hua Rong followed his Prince Consort and entered the Jail Temple Prison in a flash. Zhao Deji knew very well that Tianwei had no one to rely on. No one to rescue his, and the guards were not strict enough to protect his. At the door, Prince Consort stopped his Prince Consort. He looked nervous and said in a low voice, "You go in yourself …"
"Husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, each flying when faced with a great calamity." Moreover, the imperial edict had made Prince Consort's horse suffer ridicule. The entire family was in a state of anxiety, and the princess did not bear children, so it was understandable that they had deep feelings for each other. Hua Rong tried to persuade her in every way possible, and only then did Prince Consort Ma reluctantly agree to bring her to the prison to see Tian Wei one last time.
Hua Rong asked: "Prince Consort, are you not going in?"
The Prince Consort hastily shook his head.
Hua Rong no longer forced her to do so. She had already carefully disguised herself as a maid of Tian Wei. Under the guidance of the prison, she slowly walked towards the cell's door. At the door, she stopped and took out a small golden leaf and handed it over to jailer. jailer immediately put it away and said softly, "Don't stay here too long …"
"Yes, thank you."
Hua Rong carried her basket and walked to the entrance of the prison. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Tian Wei was curled up in a corner.
"Princess, princess …"
Tianwei slowly opened her red and swollen eyes. She felt that this voice was very familiar.
She stared at him for a while before struggling to stand up and rushing over. Her hands held onto the iron window as she sobbed, "Madame Yue, leave quickly. Don't come …"
angrily growled, "They actually hit you?!" These Dogfish actually dared to hit you! "
Not only was he not a doctor, he even tortured a princess. This was even more shocking. Zhao Deji had already become crazy to this extent. Hua Rong tightly held onto her ice-cold hand with tears streaming down her face. She trembled and took out the things in the basket, and handed them over to her: "Princess, these are the osmanthus cake that you normally love, eat a little …"
Tianwei took the osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth in big mouthfuls. Tears welled up in her dried eyes again. She was a stranger in her life – a woman who was closer than all her relatives.
The soft pastries were delicious, but how could Tianwei swallow them all at this moment? Tears ran down her cheeks and dripped into her mouth, soaking the pastry salty and astringent.
Hua Rong's face was also covered in tears. Tian Wei was now, and the Jail Temple Prison next to her was her husband. Tian Wei, Zhao Deji had even graciously allowed his family members to visit him, but Yue Pengju and the others had long stopped all family members from visiting him.
The two women tightly embraced each other. Tianwei wiped away her tears and whispered into her ear, "You go. You can go as far as you want. He won't let you go …"
Hua Rong sobbed, but jailer had already walked over, and was extremely impatient: "It's time, let's go … "Let's go …"
Hua Rong wanted to say a few more words, but jailer pushed her away, "Quickly go, if we're late, we won't be able to get rid of each other …"
The prince consort was so anxious that his face turned deathly white. He couldn't help but run over to urge her in a low voice, "Hurry, you're not going to harm me. You've harmed over a hundred members of my family …" He stopped talking, unable to continue his sentence. His gaze met with Tianwei's.
In the end, it was only a match between husband and wife. Tears streaming down his face, he kneeled down. "Princess, I'm sorry. I'm powerless."
Tianwei shook her head. A couple might not necessarily be able to die together with each other. He and the man in front of him could only be considered a little more than strangers. So what if they shared a bed?
At this moment, the image of that pirate suddenly flashed across his mind. It was so clear that tears could no longer flow, and he did not even bother looking at Prince Consort anymore. He only urged Hua Rong on, speaking very quietly, "Live well, no matter what, you have to live well …"
jailer reached out his hands and pulled Hua Rong away with Prince Consort.
As she walked out of the prison, Hua Rong barely managed to stand steadily when she suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from next door — — It was the result of being tortured — — And her own husband, was imprisoned inside.
She was about to pounce over when Prince Consort Prince Consort fiercely tried to hold her back. "You're looking to die …"
Hua Rong was pulled out, and very quickly, the miserable wails disappeared from her ears.
