Long live Emperor Wu!

The prison boss came out with a note from Chang Sun Wuji. There were only a few numbers on it, with the word "front" sandwiched in the middle.

He looked over and over, but couldn't understand it.

Originally, he thought that if he wanted to send a letter to start an army and rebel, he would not send it. If something happened, he couldn't afford it.

But now when I look at it, I see that it is just a few numbers, and it is not given to any dignitary, it is just a rice shop.

Maybe he was notifying the shop under his name to sell off his property quickly to prevent confiscation.

It's a little busy, so I still need to help.

In the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple, all the people who came in were the dignitaries of Chang'an City. Some of them watched as they came in. After a few days, when others left, they got up again.

The cell leader has been working here for more than ten years and has seen everything. In line with the principle of not offending anyone and not looking down on anyone, he will do whatever he can to get away with it.

So he stretched out his hand to call to the jailer next to him and asked:

"What shift are you on today?"

"Morning shift, we should go back soon." said the young jailer.

The prison boss thrust the note into his hand:

"When you get home, go for a run around Renkangfang and give this note to someone. Just say it is from Changsun Wuji. Remember to deliver it. It was paid for."

As he spoke, he took out another ring of copper coins from his pocket, stuffed it into the jailer's hand, and said:

"It's cold at night, so let's buy some wine."

The jailer took it with a smile, stuffed the note into his hat, and said:

"Don't worry, boss."

……

……

The back garden of Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shan held the blood-red glass bead in his hand and faced a pool of spring water under the pavilion. He lowered his eyes and said nothing. His long and soft eyelashes left a shadow of sadness on his face, and he remained silent. Look at the person behind you.

His little sister, Princess Xincheng, Yudou, who is now twenty years old, took her two children and knelt behind him, interceding on behalf of Changsun Wuji and her husband Changsun Quan:

"...Brother, the Changsun family is my mother's kin, and also your kin, how could they rebel!

On the contrary, Li Tai is the one who has the intention to rebel. He wants to seize your throne, so he will frame the Changsun family and get rid of your right-hand man...Brother...Your Majesty! "

Li Shan turned the beads in his hand, raised his hand, and almost threw it into the pond to feed the fish. Suddenly he realized that he had raised the wrong hand, so he put the beads on the table next to him and grabbed a handful of fish food. , let it go, and said quietly and gently:

"Don't worry about this matter. There will be a three-level trial. If he is wrongly accused..."

Li Shan didn't want to lie, so he stopped talking and threw a few more fish food out.

Princess Xincheng saw that he was still reluctant to look at her, and she could feel why he was like this. She suddenly felt sad and cried:

"Brother, please look back at me and the child. Sister Changle is still in prison. Aren't you the one who usually takes the best care of us?

At the beginning, my marriage with Wei Shuyu was ruined. You said it would be better to marry into the eldest grandson's family. The eldest grandson's family is our mother's family. If we get closer, we can ensure a stable life.

Now... Changsun Wuji has been arrested. Do you care about your nephews, sister Changle and me? "

As she spoke, she urged the children to kowtow and said:

"Quickly, call your uncle. Tell your uncle to spare your Aye and spare your great-uncle."

The two children, only five or six years old, started crying and calling "uncle" after listening to their mother-in-law's words. The immature children's voices were repeated one after another, making people's hearts tremble.

Li Shan closed his eyes sadly, but still didn't look back. He reached out and took the blood-red glass bead in his hand, holding it tightly, as if relying on the hard touch of the glass bead, he could make his heart follow suit. As hard as he was, he said slowly and lowly:

"Sister Changle, I have issued an order to release you... Your stability in life does not depend on the Changsun family, but on the country named Li.

Don't worry, if anything happens to the Changsun family, it won't affect you.

You are still the princess of the Tang Dynasty, your wealth and wealth remain unchanged, and your dignity remains as usual. ” upon hearing this, Princess Xincheng held her chest and said excitedly:

"What about our children, where are our flesh and blood? Where are our husbands? Brother!! Please, let them all go!"

"Even if Changsun Wuji conspired to rebel, should we let them go?!"

A woman's voice came from far away.

Princess Xincheng turned her head and saw Wu Rou, wearing a second-grade Zhaoyi palace attire, with a high bun on her head. Although there were few hairpin rings, they were decorated just right, and she walked over menacingly.

Li Shan turned slightly and saw Wu Rou. He finally felt supported and breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still didn't dare to face his sister, so he just glanced at her and turned away.

Wu Rou walked to and stood next to Princess Xincheng, looked at her and asked:

"Yudou, are you using your brother-sister relationship to force your brother to take care of your family regardless of the country?

You also grew up with Concubine Wei. Did she teach you this? "

Yudou looked up at Wu Rou and trembled, as if he was a little afraid of her.

She was brought up by Concubine Wei, who taught her in a stern and polite way, rather than being kind.

She has always seen Wu Rou since she was a child. In her heart, Wu Rou and Wei Taifei are from the same generation.

Especially now that Wu Rou has become Zhaoyi, she always seems to have a bit of the majesty that Princess Wei used to manage the harem.

What's more, she is now the favored person of the emperor's brother, more like her sister-in-law than the queen.

Yudou looked at her for a while, his eyes sparkling with tears, he covered his face and cried, and said no more.

Wu Rou saw her crying sadly, then looked at the two children crying beside her, and finally couldn't bear it.

But she just tilted her head, and then reached out to pull her up from the ground, comforting her:

"This is a major political matter. Don't embarrass your brother. Princess Changle is waiting for you outside the palace. Go out to find her. She has something to tell you."

Princess Xincheng heard this, hesitated for a moment, had to take the child, and walked away crying, looking back three times.

From the beginning to the end, Li Shan did not look back. His back in the bright yellow dragon robe was leaning on the table with one hand, and his silence was filled with sadness.

Wu Rou walked to him silently and sat down, watching the koi swimming in the pond side by side with him.

I don’t know how long it took before Li Shancai asked:

"Will they hate me in the future?"

Wu Rou didn't know how to answer. She was not the two princesses. She had never personally experienced the feeling of having her family destroyed, so she naturally didn't know what they would think.

She thought about it for a while and then said:

"If you hate it, will Your Majesty change your mind and regret it?"

After hearing this, Li Shan hesitated for a while, shook his head gently, and said sadly:

"After careful consideration and struggling for a long time, I finally made up my mind. I have nothing to regret."

……

……

Outside the palace, Princess Changle looked tired, her hair was messy, her eyes were red, but she stood upright and dignified, squinting her eyes slightly and looking in the direction of the palace gate.
