After retiring, I saved the crazy prince

Chapter 36
In the middle of the night, the torrential rain finally stopped, and the remaining flowers fell all over the tall palace walls.

Wei Young took the queen's token out of the palace, went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, took off the hood, and said to Shi Qingming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice: "Master Shi, I came to visit Shen Ye by the order of the empress."

"Auntie, please."

Lord Shi led the way respectfully and opened the door of the cell himself.

Dali Temple has already reported the case to Emperor Yuanjia. Shen Ye was transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice yesterday. He is currently locked in the death row of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but he has not suffered any crimes.

Shen Shangshu was worried that his son would not adapt to this cold cell, so he spent money to manage the inside and outside of the prison.

Only the cell where Shen Ye is located is far away from the other prisoners in the prison. He is alone in the cell, and the cell has been cleaned, spotless, everything should be furnished, and even the meals that are used are sent by Shen Shangshu himself , serving good wine and good meat, only a few servants were sent to wait on this young master Shen.

"Aunt Weiyang, did your aunt ask you to save Ye'er!" Seeing Weiyang approaching, he hurried forward, hugged Weiyang's legs, and cried bitterly.

All these years, Shen Ye only knows how to eat, drink, and play. He is not capable of writing or martial arts, and his body shape has also changed. His face is full of fat, and when he cries, his facial features are twisted into a ball, which looks a little funny.

"Auntie, take Ye'er out quickly, Ye'er doesn't want to stay in this ghostly place anymore."

He was used to eating, drinking and having fun. During the few days in prison, although the food and supplies were the same as those in Shen's residence, this was a death row, and prisoners were dragged out and beheaded every day.

Every night, he could always hear someone crying in a low voice. The crying sound was really terrible, like a ghost being choked by someone's throat, making a dull whimpering sound.

This voice made him feel terrified, if he stayed here any longer, he might go crazy.

Wei Young coaxed him a few words, then said to Shi Shangshu: "Master Shi, please stay away."

After Shi Shangshu left, Wei Young said to the eunuch behind him: "Go and change clothes with Mr. Shen Lang."

After Shen Ye changed into the eunuch's clothes and put on the veil hat, he followed Wei Young and left the cell.

Shi Qingming recognized Shen Ye behind him, and felt very embarrassed, "Auntie, what is the meaning of this? Mr. Shen is the prisoner of the lower official, if the prisoner is lost, the lower official will not be able to explain to His Majesty!"

She got closer and said in a low voice: "The person has been left for Mr. Shi. After a few days, Mr. Shi will close the case and dispose of it according to normal procedures. Mr. Shi only needs to prevent people from seeing the prisoner clearly when he asks to beheaded." The face is enough. Master Shi understands what I mean, and of course this is also what the empress means. In addition, only you and I know what happened today, and you must never tell the third person."

Shi Shangshu looked at the eunuch wearing death row uniform in the cell, and understood what Queen Shen meant. Queen Shen wanted to save her nephew, so she thought of changing the death row prisoner.

"The lower official understands that the lower official will never let the empress down."

After Wei Young took Shen Ye away, Shi Qingming really put in a lot of effort. That night, he asked his subordinates to open the cell, and let the prisoners who were making trouble in the cell wrestle into a ball. Afterwards, he sent the jailer to stop the prisoner and lock them into the cell. .

The impostor eunuch was also beaten to disfigurement. He felt that the injury was not enough, so he tried to create some scars on his face, so that even his own mother could not recognize him, so he was relieved.

No one will know that it is not Shen Shangshu's son who is locked in the death row.

Wei Young sent Shen Ye to a carriage after leaving the Ministry of Punishment. The carriage drove for a while, and for the sake of caution, it was replaced with an even more inconspicuous dilapidated carriage.

When passing through Changle Street, Shen Shangshu had been waiting for a long time, and seeing his son escaped safely, he let go of his hanging heart completely.

Seeing his father coming, Shen Ye cried and threw himself into Shen Shangshu's arms.

"Aye, my son doesn't want to go to Youzhou, he doesn't want to leave Aye and Aniang, and he doesn't want to leave his grandmother."

Shen Shangshu was also reluctant to let his son leave, and he couldn't help crying. He patted his son's head lightly, "This is the only way to save you. When you go to Youzhou, you must listen to your second uncle and don't cause trouble again. .”

"The empress has ordered Master Shen not to show his face tonight, and that the servants should leave Chang'an City quietly with the young master. Master Shen only needs to wait patiently for a few more years. After the current limelight passes, the empress will find a way to let him go. When Mr. Shen returns to Chang'an, you must know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the empress and the Shen family in the dark."

Shen Shangshu wiped away his tears, "I know how to measure, but I really can't bear Ye'er, Youzhou is not as good as Chang'an, the conditions are really too harsh, I can't bear to watch Ye'er suffer."

"That's right, Aye, my son won't go to Youzhou."

Looking at Shen Ye's rosy complexion and his loud voice, he looks like he has suffered. Besides, at this juncture, there is no room for him to choose where to go.

Shen Shangshu dotes on his son so much, Wei Young can't bear to listen to what the father and son said.

Seeing that it would be dawn in a few hours, their father and son were crying and huddling together, Wei Young felt even more anxious, and urged repeatedly:
"The empress also ordered that Mr. Shen must be soft-hearted when he sees Mr. Shen, and she specifically told me to personally send Mr. Shen out of the city. It will be dawn in a few hours, Mr. Shen must not delay any longer."

Shen Shangshu had no choice but to break free from Shen Ye's hand, ruthlessly turned his back, "My son, I will ask my aunt."

Just as Wei Young was about to take Shen Ye away, suddenly several torches were lit in the dark alley, and the leader was the princess wearing a black cloak and holding a long whip.

The Eldest Princess Wei Wan made a gesture, and the three hundred soldiers of the Zhen Guo General's Mansion surrounded Shen Shangshu and the three of them in the middle.

General Zhen Guo is a military general of the first rank, there are hundreds of soldiers in the mansion, all these soldiers are dispatched tonight, guarding the only way out of the city, waiting for Shen Shangshu and his son to show up.

"Master Shen, where is he planning to take Young Master Ling late at night?"

In this dark and cold night, Wei Xuan hid in the dark, and his eyes became unfathomable just like this dark night.

He quietly stared at the panic-stricken Shen family father and son who were surrounded by government soldiers. He hooked his lips and let out a sneer: "Shen Shangshu colluded with the Ministry of Punishment. This method of exchanging death row prisoners will make Shen Ye even more guilty." If you commit a crime, you will also be implicated, so the gain outweighs the loss!"

His slender fingers pressed on the white jade wrench, caressed it lightly, and stared at the Shen family father and son.

The heroic eldest princess dressed in black sneered, "Master Shen is really good at it! Dare to rob Mr. Shen from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This princess really admires Mr. Shen's courage. Come, please." Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen are going to face the saint."

"The one next to me must be Aunt Weiyang? Could it be that all this is the queen's will?"

Shen Shangshu's face turned pale, he didn't dare to implicate the queen anymore, and took the charge alone, "It's all my own idea, and it has nothing to do with the empress."

The eldest princess laughed loudly, "Father will decide this matter, Shen Shangshu, Mr. Shen, please!"

The father and son of the Shen family were taken away, and Wei Young was also taken to face the saint by the eldest princess. Seeing the light of the torch gradually disappear, Wei Xuan squinted his eyes and said to Cui Jiu who was also hiding in the dark: "Go back to the East Palace."
