My Master Jinyiwei
Chapter 83
Chapter 83
Liu Ling did not follow into the palace.
Sitting under the pear tree in the backyard of her home, she picked up the drawing that Mr. Shen had put down earlier, and continued to revise it.But he was absent-minded, thinking about Xu Shijin all night.She couldn't remember clearly the episodes of getting along with Xu Shijin when she was a child, it was vague and unpleasant.
The people who are least likely to be friends become friends.Ever since she was a child, she has always remembered the smile on Xu Shijin's face.She was a good-tempered girl who didn't get angry with anyone and had a sincere smile.It can't be called kind, but it can't be called vicious either.How could such a girl with so many tricks put herself in such a precarious situation?
This is really not Xu Shijin's style.
After midnight, Shen Yan came back from the palace and told Liu Ling the answer, "Nothing is impossible, if everyone is thinking of her death, she can only die."
"Death? So serious?" Liu Ling stood up in shock. She didn't expect it to be like this. "Even if she was plotted...but...although murdering the prince is a capital crime, but...but if that person is the prince, he and Xiaojin used to So good, he should...should be lenient...how could he die?"
Shen Yan sat under the pear tree and didn't speak for a while.He glanced at Liu Ling, not knowing where to start.He was not used to telling his family members about official affairs before, but for this matter, Liu Ling, as a relative of the emperor, even if he didn't tell her, she would know about it tomorrow.Besides, according to the relationship between Liu Ling and Xu Shijin, Shen Yan thought that she should be prepared in advance, "The prince that Miss Xu murdered was not the prince. And it really killed people. Not to mention the identity of the prince, even ordinary people Family, this is also a capital offense."
"You mean, this matter has nothing to do with the prince?"
"On the surface, it seems so." Shen Yan said.
Liu Ling crouched in front of him, preventing him from drinking tea.She took him by the hand and asked earnestly, "Then what do you think of your selfishness? Shen Yan, I am your wife, and I will never speak out your judgment. Can you give me your thoughts? I beg you gone."
"My private thoughts are never allowed to be substituted during the investigation." Shen Yan patted her head and said gently.
He wanted to tell her that he would let the truth of the matter come out.If Xu Shijin is really innocent, he will find a way to return his innocence.But Liu Ling looked at him with moist eyes, "Your private thoughts don't seem to be important in your case investigation. But they are very important to me. Shen Yan, I really trust you."
He was silent for a while, and said, "My selfishness makes me feel that Xu Shijin was pushed out by the prince to be an abandoned son. I think the whole situation was arranged by the prince." He pulled her up, "Because, the dead Seventh Prince , is the only son of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu is from the Lu family. Now it seems that the Lu family and the prince are actually hostile, but it cannot be completely said that they have no possibility of shaking hands and making peace. Xu Shijin may be abandoned... Xu family No matter what they think, their attitude may be subtle."
"Then His Majesty..."
"The Ministry of Rites, the Clan Mansion, and the Ministry of Punishment are all involved in this kind of major event. Jin Yiwei only supervises later, and we are not the first person in charge. Each of them has a position, so it's different." Shen Yan said, "I I think His Majesty has his own guesses."
"Lord Shen, where are you from?" Liu Ling asked, "Are you from His Majesty, or from the Crown Prince? Or is it just a simple matter that has nothing to do with you?"
"What a smart girl," Shen Yan smiled slightly, "Which side do you want me to be from?"
When Shen Yan said this, Liu Ling's heart sank.Under normal circumstances, Jin Yiwei is His Majesty's personal guard, and he has full authority to follow His Majesty's arrangements.But when Shen Yan asked her back now, she was tactfully implying that he might not belong to His Majesty.
Maybe she was afraid that the walls have ears, or she had other scruples, so Shen Yan would not speak out.
He is the prince's man?
How can it be?
When Liu Ling first met Shen Yan, he clearly...
Ah!
An inspiration flashed through her mind, calming her down.It was because of her, repeatedly because of her, that Shen Yan had to cooperate with the crown prince.After cooperating again and again, and using tricks again and again, until now, Shen Yan may not be able to completely distance himself from the prince.
The heart is astringent, and the anxiety and irritability of the night have all disappeared at this moment.
Liu Ling looked at her lover quietly, she stretched out her arms, put her arms around him, and gave him a hug.
The relationship behind her is so complicated, but the relationship behind Shen Yan is so simple.For her, he insisted on entering this big dye vat.Originally, there was no need to talk about any favors, originally he owed no favors to anyone.Everyone in the court is afraid of Jin Yiwei, everyone doesn't want to see Jin Yiwei, everyone keeps a distance from Jin Yiwei... But in order to protect her, Shen Yan took the olive branch from the prince.Once you take it, don't even think about getting off the ship.
But Shen Yan never told her.She always thought that he was so glamorous, so pure and elegant...
Shen Yan didn't know that Liu Ling had already thought so much in the blink of an eye.He patted the little girl who threw himself into his arms, and asked her with a smile, "Huh? Who do you want me to help?"
"I'm sorry." Liu Ling said sullenly.
Shen Yan raised her eyebrows, not understanding why she said that.Clutching Liu Ling's shoulders to keep her away from him a little bit, Shen Yan looked down at her sullen eyes and looked at each other for a long time, knowing it in his heart.He smiled nonchalantly, wiped her reddish nose with his finger, and said indifferently, "Liu Ling, after entering the imperial court and Jinyiwei, how can there be such an upright person as you think? I'm not as good as you think , the blood on my hands and the bones under my feet are much more than you think. I am not innocent, so you don't have to be ashamed of me."
"But because of me..."
"Liu Ling, there are few inevitable choices in the world. If you choose love, you have to give up responsibility. If you choose responsibility, you have to give up love. Few people will really face this kind of absolute multiple-choice question. Anyone who says Things that are "have to" have already been weighed and tended in the heart. It is not "have to", but "I want to"... Well, don't you understand?"
"...To be honest, I don't really understand." Liu Ling was completely dazed by him, "Master Shen, I don't quite understand your hint. Can you explain it clearly?"
"I mean, you don't have such a big face, let me give up my life and ideals for you. Do you understand?"
"...Understood, but I would rather not understand." Liu Ling leaned on Shen Yan's shoulder and said sadly.
Her touch, her guilt, her love... were all ruined by Shen Yan's straightforward explanation.It turned out that Shen Yan went around with her at first because he didn't want to hurt her feelings.In the end, she insisted on hitting her head on...
"So, which side do you want me to be from?" Mr. Shen's thoughts were too clear. After being disturbed by Liu Ling for so long, he couldn't find a breakthrough after pondering for a long time, so he simply brought the topic back to him bluntly.
Liu Ling didn't speak, but her eyes flickered.
Shen Yan whispered in her ear, "If you want Jin Yiwei to help Miss Xu, I can..."
"No, no need." Liu Ling interrupted, rejecting him.Shen Yan didn't tell her too much, but with just a few words from him, Liu Ling judged that too many people were involved in this matter.The Crown Prince, Ministry of Rites, Clan Mansion, Ministry of Punishment, Lu Family, Xu Family, and Jin Yiwei are all inside.Even if she wanted to help Xu Shijin, Liu Ling didn't want anything to happen to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan looked at her, "Then, you have to promise you, don't mess around."
"..." Liu Ling pursed her lips.
Shen Yan sighed, "If you have any ideas, please discuss with me."
Liu Ling nodded indiscriminately, "It's getting late, let's sleep."
She got up and walked for a long time, only to find that Shen Yan hadn't followed.She turned her head and saw that he was still sitting where he was, looking at her with a serious face.With Shen Yan's cold and solemn appearance, Liu Ling was still a little uncomfortable.
He looked at her coldly, "Do you know what husband and wife mean? Maybe you used to be indifferent to family and never considered this issue. But I tell you now, a husband and wife are both prosperous and both are prosperous. If something happens to you, I will You can't get rid of it. Do you know what Zhu Jiu Clan is? You are a princess, and your relatives over there are all surnamed Liu. , I bear the brunt of it." He didn't tell her, and the Shen family couldn't get rid of it.
"Don't say that!" Liu Ling shuddered, how could she make Mr. Shen suffer?She said solemnly, "I will never do anything wrong. If there is anything, I will discuss it with you. I promise."
Only then did Shen Yan feel relieved.
Shen Yan is indeed not in the habit of discussing official affairs with his family members. Although he awkwardly and stumbled a few words to Liu Ling last night, Liu Ling was actually confused.But seeing Mr. Shen's expression of not wanting to say anything but forcing himself to say it, Liu Ling couldn't bear to ask in detail.On the next day, after Shen Yan resumed his duties as Jin Yiwei and went to work, Liu Ling went directly to the palace to get first-hand news.
Such a big event happened in the harem, and people were panicked.The imperial concubine is in charge of the internal affairs of the harem, and she was also inseparable from the death of the seventh prince, and was scolded by His Majesty.If it wasn't for the much favored Princess Anhe, the imperial concubine would not have seen Liu Ling.When Liu Ling saw the imperial concubine, her expression was indifferent and calm. Compared with the panic of the palace people, she seemed much calmer.
The imperial concubine naturally knew the reason for Liu Ling's visit, so she didn't go around in circles with her, and told her directly, "Ms. Saying goodbye is a normal procedure. Concubine Shu was also with me at the time. When I saw Miss Xu, I invited Miss Xu to sit in her palace for a while. On the surface, Miss Xu never loses face. An hour later, my side was surrounded and I was not allowed to come in or out. Your Majesty came to sit with me last night, and he told me that Concubine Shu's seventh son Dead, it was Ms. Xu who suffocated to death. The Clan Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment have taken over the case, and even I have to listen to their questioning. I hope there will be a conclusion as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, this is unreasonable! How could Xiao Jin suffocate the Seventh Prince to death? She is not that kind of person! And since she is going to leave Beijing, she is crazy to cause trouble for herself?" Liu Ling excitedly stood up, " She is also a girl, since she was a child, even if she is cruel, she has never killed anyone with her own hands. Let alone a baby who is more than one year old... How could Xiao Jin be so vicious?"
"I think so too," said the noble concubine, "but it is said that Concubine Shu and Xiao Jin had an argument yesterday, and the two quarreled violently. The palace guards outside the palace heard it, and then saw Concubine Shu running out crying When Concubine Shu calmed down and went back, the Seventh Prince was gone. Miss Xu was the only one present. His Majesty showed me the records of the Clan Mansion last night, saying that Miss Xu was disturbed and mentally disturbed. Maybe it has something to do with that."
Liu Ling sneered.
The witnesses and physical evidence were all correct.
Everyone can prove that Concubine Shu has an alibi, but no one can prove Xu Shijin's innocence!
From the very beginning, this was a game waiting for Xu Shijin to enter.
"Your Majesty, this is clearly..."
The noble concubine waved her hand to stop Liu Ling from continuing, "A Ling, I can't help you with this matter. There are too many people involved, and it's not easy for me to just pick myself up. Do you understand? If you want to To save Miss Xu, you have to go to His Majesty... No, I don’t recommend that you go to His Majesty. Neither you nor I have any feelings for the dead child, because it is not our child, but the Seventh Prince is His Majesty’s own prince. He is at the most restless stage. Don't bump yourself into it. Let the Clan Mansion investigate first, maybe in two days, things will turn around." Her lowered eyes flickered slightly, "You don't even believe the Clan Mansion , you should also trust Jin Yiwei. If the Zongren Mansion conceals something, Jin Yiwei will also notice."
Liu Ling felt bitter: But Lord Shen had clearly hinted to her that Jin Yiwei might be on the side of the prince!In this case, Jin Yiwei may not be trustworthy...
Liu Ling believed that if she was the framed person, Shen Yan would strictly investigate.But if it is someone else, even if Xiao Jin is her friend, Shen Yan may not be so attentive.After all, Shen Yan also hinted to her last night that there is no such thing as a truly sober person after entering the imperial court and Jinyiwei.Shen Yan said that he was not clear, that is to say, he would not choose to tear himself apart with the prince unless the evidence was convincing.
Because Jin Yiwei is a little passive now.
Liu Ling really wished that she was a little stupid, and could not understand the charades Shen Yan was playing with her.But she understood it, and she understood it, so there was no way to cause trouble for Shen Yan...
"Yes, and Concubine Shu!" Liu Ling suddenly thought of this character, Concubine Shu is also the key point!Maybe Concubine Shu has some doubts...
Only when Liu Ling cheered up a little, the palace maid came in to report in a panic, "Mother, something is wrong! Concubine Shu has gone!"
"Go?! What do you mean?" The imperial concubine's face was very ugly, and another incident happened in the harem!She said angrily, "What the hell are they going to do?! Are they all crazy? This is the harem! This is His Majesty's inner courtyard! Do they still have His Majesty in their eyes?!"
The court ladies were trained to be submissive, and under the coercion of the imperial concubine, they dared not say a word.
Under the sunlight, Liu Ling felt dizzy.
This game, set up, is really... not leaving any room for development.
The noble concubine and Liu Ling rushed to Concubine Shu's palace. On the way, Liu Ling heard the cause of Concubine Shu's death: her own son died tragically, and Concubine Shu remained calm.When His Majesty visited last night, Concubine Shu also said that she would wait to see the truth of the matter, and she would never let anyone who killed her son go.Everyone was relieved, thinking that Concubine Shu had a deformed desire to survive and would not choose to die.But in fact, anything that waits to see the truth is a lie.She doesn't want to see the truth, she doesn't want to wait for her enemy to be killed, her son is already dead, even if the revenge is avenged, her son will not be resurrected.
Everyone thought she was a firm mother, and they sympathized with her experience, and rarely refused Concubine Shu's request.Just now, Concubine Shu dressed up and asked to go for a walk in the imperial garden.When everyone was not paying attention, Concubine Shu jumped into the lake and died.
Liu Ling walked with difficulty, following behind the imperial concubine, watching the Imperial Garden surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, the House of Internal Affairs was protecting the scene, waiting for the ministers of the Clan House to come.The imperial concubine looked embarrassed, and asked the maids and servants what was going on, and what did they think of Concubine Shu.
Liu Ling looked at the sparkling lake water, and when she heard "jump into the lake to die", her heart started to twitch.When she accidentally saw Concubine Shu's body wrinkled and swollen by the water, her face turned pale, and she turned her head unconsciously, not looking at it.
Concubine Shu's eyes were round and broken, with sadness and anger in her eyes.She was disappointed in this world, her death seemed to have snowed heavily in the harem, the cold was oppressive, and her heart was miserable.The body was salvaged, and many timid maids did not dare to go forward to confirm it.
Liu Ling's hands and feet were cold.
A warm and cold hand blocked her eyes with a cold air, and it was getting dark.He didn't use any force, he just blocked it loosely, the thick calluses on his hands rubbed her long eyelashes, from one temple to the other temple.It was so tightly blocked that she couldn't see anything clearly.
Liu Ling blinked quickly a few times, her long eyelashes brushed against his palm, maybe a little itchy, Liu Ling's hand hanging beside her was lightly squeezed.
The young man said, "Hey, don't look."
Liu Ling's whole body was fixed in his arms.
So she was no longer afraid.
Obediently let him cover her eyes.
"Master Shen?" Liu Ling heard Xiao Luo's questioning voice.
Shen Yan's voice was on top of her head, extremely indifferent, "It's okay, go and see it, and make a record."
Shen Yan led Liu Ling out of the imperial garden, and then put down the hand that blocked her eyes.Liu Ling raised her head and was about to give him a touching kiss.Seeing him lowering his eyes, he gave her a merciless reprimand, "You know you don't dare to look, but why did you run over there? Waiting for someone to admire your ghostly face? Or suspect that you murdered Concubine Shu?"
"...You really know how to joke. I'm not here. Could it be that I know witchcraft and kill people thousands of miles away?" Liu Ling was not convinced.
Shen Yan looked at her, "If I want to deal with you, I may not be able to use witchcraft as an excuse. This is the most taboo thing in the harem. Even if you are even a little suspicious, I can make you irreversible forever. Even if you are a princess , it's useless."
"Yingyingying," Liu Ling threw herself into his arms, "Thank you husband for not killing me! You are not my enemy, that's great."
Lord Shen always threatens her!
But at the same time, she also got a hint from Shen Yan's words: If a person with real power wants to kill someone, he will use any method.
She even realized belatedly: Xiaojin may be more dangerous than good.
The death of a seventh son of the emperor was already a capital crime; now that Concubine Shu is also dead, the evidence to retract the confession is completely gone, and Xu Shijin has to bear the fault of indirect murder.The two lives were all on Xu Shijin's head.
"Shen Yan," Liu Ling said slowly, "I want to meet Xiao Jin, is that okay?"
"...Yes." Shen Yan hesitated a little, and opened the back door for his wife.
The case of Xu Shijin's murder of the prince was presided over by the clan's mansion. Even if it was Jin Yiwei, even if it was a princess, it was not easy to go in and visit him.Shen Yan spent a lot of effort to let Liu Ling in.Fortunately, Liu Ling is a princess and a weak woman, so there will be no threat, so the clan government let her go.
Xu Shijin was locked in the innermost part of the prison with strong iron bars and chains on his hands and feet.
Liu Ling saw a slender girl in white, sitting in a corner with her knees hugged.The iron chain was so heavy that it bound her thin hands and feet, which made people feel sad for no reason.When it was lunch time, the noise of the prisoners outside came in. Xu Shijin just sat quietly with his head bowed, as if he had been separated from reality.
Liu Ling called her "Xiao Jin", tears welled up.
Xu Shijin looked up and saw Liu Ling outside the railing.She smiled slightly, still elegant and gentle, "A Ling, you are here. I knew that you would come to see me."
"...Xiao Jin, you are so smart, how did you make yourself into what you are now?" Liu Ling squatted down, holding on to the cold railing, gritted her teeth, "I will find a way to save you, I will definitely find a way. "
Xu Shijin leaned against the wall, smiling warmly and weakly, "No need, I don't think I can get out, and I won't survive."
"Why do you say that?" Liu Ling frowned, "Do you know something? Xiao Jin, you have to tell me. Only if you tell me without reservation, can I find a solution."
Xu Shijin was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "I didn't receive any gifts from him the day before yesterday, or yesterday. I don't think there will be any today. When there were no gifts the day before yesterday, I should have guessed that something would happen."
"He? Who?" Liu Ling's thoughts turned around in her mind, and she asked in surprise, "You mean the prince?!" She stood up angrily, "Xu Shijin! Are you still obsessed with obsession? Do you think he will still control you?" ?!"
"I know! I know he won't care about me, and I know he's going to kill me!" Xu Shijin shouted.
She put her head on her knees, and suddenly started to cry, "For so many years, he has given me gifts every day. If he didn't give them all of a sudden, it was a signal to give up on me. I mistrusted him, I thought he just didn't want me, I I thought he just wanted to marry someone else, I didn't know that he wanted me to die if he didn't want me."
"He gave me up just when I thought I could get him. He was about to kill me when I just started to forgive him for being heartless."
"Six years! A full six years! Not a single day, nothing at all! I never hurt him, I always thought about him, I always thought he had me in his heart, and now I know... I was wrong How outrageous."
Every day when the palace gate was locked, he would send her a word or a gadget.She had admired him for many years, and this was the consolation that kept her going.It was dark this day, and he had nothing to give her.She lived in darkness all year round, she gave up a lot of things, only the little light he brought made her hold on tightly.When she has no one to wait for, it is the arrival of the darkness of the eternal night.
What should she choose?
What should she choose? !
The bright young man she had been thinking about, he had changed beyond recognition over time.He is the only one, he is glamorous, he is everything she yearns for, and he is also the original sin!
"A Ling, do you know?" Xu Shijin raised her head from her lap, her face was distorted from crying, she didn't look like that gentle girl at all.In the dark prison, she showed her friend a desolate, powerless, and miserable smile, "I struggled in the dark, I chose and gave up, I floated up and down, but it was useless. They didn't give My chance to see the light will only push me down hard. Ah Ling, I'm so sad!"
"A Ling, I'm so sad!" Xu Shijin had never said such sad words.
She should be full of brilliance, proud and confident, loved and envied by others, but in fact, she said, she was so sad.
Liu Ling's eye circles suddenly turned red.
She stretched out her hand and found that she was unable to touch Xu Shijin's hand.Darkness will swallow all strength, Xu Shijin just sat on the wall, watching her cry and laughing.
"I will save you, I will definitely save you," Liu Ling repeated as if promising, "Xiao Jin, you trust me."
Xu Shijin burst into tears, and she shook her head, "You can't help me. Ah Ling, you have to live a good life, don't involve yourself. You have to think about Mr. Shen, and don't make things difficult for him. Between you and me, as long as If one is doing well, it’s good.”
Between Xu Shijin and Liu Ling, as long as one of them gets happiness.
This has always been Xu Shijin's true thoughts.
She is actually very pessimistic, has been very pessimistic.
Liu Ling said, "You know me, Xiao Jin. If you don't tell me the truth, I will go crazy, but I don't care. Do you want to see me go crazy?"
In the darkness, Xu Shijin looked at her quietly. After a long time, she smiled lightly, feeling sad and speechless.
She said, "Okay, let me tell you. You don't want to get in touch with yourself, and you don't want to get in touch with Mr. Shen. Actually, what's the use of telling you? I can't solve the situation myself, and if I tell you, you can't do anything about it."
It was not only the crown prince who wanted to kill Xu Shijin, but also the Lu family.
The prince and the Lu family reached an agreement, the prince cut off her arm, and the Lu family cut off the support of concubine Shu and the seventh prince.Only when the Lu family is willing to abandon Concubine Shu and the Seventh Prince will the prince trust the Lu family.Only when the prince is willing to put aside Xu Shijin, who is like a military adviser, and is willing to help the Lu family get rid of this enemy, will the Lu family trust the prince.
The prince was unwilling at first, but at this time, Xu Shijin proposed to leave Beijing, and was discovered by the prince, and she and Shen Yu began to make friends again.The crown prince has never felt at ease with Jin Yiwei, nor has he ever doubted the relationship between Xu Shijin and Shen Yu.The prince was worried that Xu Shijin and Shen Yu would cooperate against him, so he simply accepted the Lu family's conditions and let Xu Shijin simply disappear.
At the same time, the prince also wanted to appease the Xu family, so that the Xu family would not rebound.
Xu Shijin smiled, "A Ling, Concubine Shu must be dead, right? The candidate for the crown princess of the Ministry of Rites must have been decided, right? A girl from the Xu family? Only in this way can the Xu family stay temporarily and choose to suffer this loss." She paused and said, "The only one who can save me, and is willing to save me, may be the Xu family. But the Xu family has remained silent until now, probably because they recognized the result and didn't want to turn against the prince. Although I think they It's a stupid decision, but I'm in jail, what can I do?"
"I'll lobby the Xu family for you." Liu Ling said.
Xu Shijin shook his head, "The Xu family has already made a decision, lobbying is useless. Ah Ling, now, the crown prince, the Lu family, the Xu family, and His Majesty who lost his parents all want me to die. Only when I die can they cooperate. Happy. They destroyed all the evidence. Even if Mr. Shen is against you, even if Jin Yiwei is willing to help me get rid of the crime, what will they do? Everything I said is speculation! I have no evidence, what do you do? Possibly evidence?"
"A Ling, don't get involved. You have to protect yourself. There are too many people who want me to die. Under the pressure of many parties, you can't help it."
Liu Ling said, "I won't let you die." She turned around and left.
Xu Shijin called her from behind for a long time, but Liu Ling didn't look back.
Back at the mansion, when Shen Yan came back, Liu Ling told Shen Yan everything that Xu Shijin had told her.Shen Yan frowned, "Prince...well."
His expression is somewhat intriguing.
Perhaps others would skip Shen Yan's expression, but as the person who knows Shen Yan best, Liu Ling would not miss it.She pulled him back and asked anxiously, "Is there something you can do? Can you pick Xiaojin out?"
"I can't," Shen Yan looked down at her, "you can't either. If you don't want Miss Xu to die, you can't start with the court. You have to think of other ways."
"...What are you implying to me?" Liu Ling was silent for a while.
Shen Yan rubbed her head with a smile in his eyes.
After appeasing his little wife, Shen Yan went to the inner room to change clothes, and Liu Ling followed behind him step by step, "Shen Yan, I feel that you...you are not upright at all, you are always tempting me to do bad things. Looks like I know..."
"I really don't know anything," Shen Yan casually closed the door, blocking Liu Ling from the outside, "I didn't tell you anything either."
Leaning against the flower stand by the door, Liu Ling smiled: After getting married, she and Shen Yan had more interactions.After becoming husband and wife, there are many things that they didn't understand before, and they can't hide them at all.Only then did she know that Shen Yan was indeed as he said, not aboveboard at all.Before, she thought of Shen Yan too high.
It's a pity that I got on a pirate ship and couldn't get off.
Liu Ling asked him, "But when you talk about the prince... I feel that you still have something to hide from me. Shen Yan, what are you doing? It always feels like you are playing a big game of chess."
Through a door, Shen Yan said, "It has nothing to do with you. You should think of a way first, how can Miss Xu escape death."
When he came out again, Liu Ling was surprised.Because Shen Yan didn't change his regular uniform, but changed into his official uniform again.He said, "I'll go to the palace."
"Are you trying to find a way to clear Xiaojin's charges?" Liu Ling asked happily.
Shen Yan broke her fantasy, "No, it has nothing to do with Ms. Xu. I'm unlikely to help Ms. Xu. I hope you realize the reality."
"..." Liu Ling had no choice but to accept the reality.
A few days later, Liu Ling thought of another way and went to prison to see Xu Shijin once.After that, in order not to cause trouble for Shen Yan, she never went there again.
The news about Xu Shijin kept flowing from Shen Yan to Liu Ling's ears: under several pressures, Xu Shijin could not clear himself of the crime and was about to be sentenced to death.
It seems that the Xu family really doesn't intend to take care of it.Xu Shijin is sentenced, and the Xu family will also be affected.But the crown princess's seat was secured by the crown prince again, so the Xu family remained silent, being what Xu Shijin called "idiots".
No one can save Xu Shijin.
Shen Yan told Liu Ling that she had better not see Xu Shijin again.
Under Liu Ling's urging, Shen Yan had no evidence to help Xu Shijin, so he refused to help.But he doesn't help, there is another Shen family who will help.
One night, like a few days ago, the interrogation ended, and Xu Shijin leaned against the wall with his head in a daze.In the darkness, a white light suddenly approached her.She looked puzzled, sat up in surprise, and saw a corner of Shen Yu's white clothes.
He stood outside the iron fence and looked at her with a smile.
Xu Shijin's body tensed up instantly, and then relaxed again.She pursed her lips, "You shouldn't have come. In Jinyiwei, you only have a name and no authority. It's useless for you to come."
"Do you know that you are bound to die?" Shen Yu asked her with a smile as if she had never heard of it.
Xu Shijin was in a bitter mood, but seeing his slight smile, he felt cheerful.She also smiled, "I know. So you want to see me one last time?"
"Then I have seen you for the last time many times." Shen Yu said.
"..." Xu Shijin was stunned for a moment, then laughed unconsciously, his eyes were slightly red.
Yes, she said goodbye to Shen Yu many times.Not to mention the time when she was 14 years old, a few days ago, before she was leaving Beijing, she said goodbye to him.I didn't expect the world to get people, a few days later, it was the last time.
"Xiao Jin, do you want to go out?" Shen Yu leaned against the iron railing and asked her casually, "Or, do you think he wants you to die so much, it would be better for you to die?"
Xu Shijin was in a daze for a long time, and laughed dumbly, "How could I want to die? I was never the kind of person who would commit suicide at will. I also want to live and get out, but there is no other way?"
"You want to go out?" Shen Yu turned his head to look at her, seeing her nodded, he said strangely, "I want to live, I want to go out, why can't I do it?"
Xu Shijin looked at him, puzzled.The next moment, when he heard the bang, Xu Shijin stared blankly, stood up abruptly, and ran to the iron railing, "You're crazy! Shen Xiaoyu, you lunatic!"
Shen Yu forcibly broke open the iron fence that was still extremely firm just now, revealing a spacious gap that could allow one person to go out.Xu Shijin stumbled in front of him, he smiled at her, grabbed her wrist, and slashed with his bare hands, the chain on her hand shattered.
Shen Yu used the same method to help her remove the chain from her feet.
A small official heard something strange and came to check in a hurry, but was knocked down by Shen Yu a few times, his face was full of disbelief before he fell into a coma.
Yeah, who would believe it?
This is the dungeon.
Shen Yu is the commander of Jinyiwei.
He even said that he would rob a prison, so he would rob a prison.
Shen Yu reached out to Xu Shijin and smiled frivolously, "Do you dare to come with me?"
Xu Shijin looked at him for a long time.
What she loves, the mountains are high and the roads are far away.Those who love her are within close proximity.
If you go with him, that is a felony, and you will never want to come back.
Follow him, maybe even out of this door, and they will all die.
Follow him, the Xu family, the Shen family... No, these two families will not be implicated.The two families have their own choices, especially the Shen family, with Shen Yan around, nothing will happen to the Shen family.
So, now, Shen Xiaoyu stood in front of her, stretched out his hand, and asked her if she dared to go with him.
Xu Shijin's tears fell, but the corner of her mouth was smiling. She put her hand on his, "I... dare."
For the first time, she wanted to go to Shen Yu.She wanted to stand with Shen Yu, even if a thousand people pointed her at her, and a thousand arrows pierced her heart.
(End of this chapter)
Liu Ling did not follow into the palace.
Sitting under the pear tree in the backyard of her home, she picked up the drawing that Mr. Shen had put down earlier, and continued to revise it.But he was absent-minded, thinking about Xu Shijin all night.She couldn't remember clearly the episodes of getting along with Xu Shijin when she was a child, it was vague and unpleasant.
The people who are least likely to be friends become friends.Ever since she was a child, she has always remembered the smile on Xu Shijin's face.She was a good-tempered girl who didn't get angry with anyone and had a sincere smile.It can't be called kind, but it can't be called vicious either.How could such a girl with so many tricks put herself in such a precarious situation?
This is really not Xu Shijin's style.
After midnight, Shen Yan came back from the palace and told Liu Ling the answer, "Nothing is impossible, if everyone is thinking of her death, she can only die."
"Death? So serious?" Liu Ling stood up in shock. She didn't expect it to be like this. "Even if she was plotted...but...although murdering the prince is a capital crime, but...but if that person is the prince, he and Xiaojin used to So good, he should...should be lenient...how could he die?"
Shen Yan sat under the pear tree and didn't speak for a while.He glanced at Liu Ling, not knowing where to start.He was not used to telling his family members about official affairs before, but for this matter, Liu Ling, as a relative of the emperor, even if he didn't tell her, she would know about it tomorrow.Besides, according to the relationship between Liu Ling and Xu Shijin, Shen Yan thought that she should be prepared in advance, "The prince that Miss Xu murdered was not the prince. And it really killed people. Not to mention the identity of the prince, even ordinary people Family, this is also a capital offense."
"You mean, this matter has nothing to do with the prince?"
"On the surface, it seems so." Shen Yan said.
Liu Ling crouched in front of him, preventing him from drinking tea.She took him by the hand and asked earnestly, "Then what do you think of your selfishness? Shen Yan, I am your wife, and I will never speak out your judgment. Can you give me your thoughts? I beg you gone."
"My private thoughts are never allowed to be substituted during the investigation." Shen Yan patted her head and said gently.
He wanted to tell her that he would let the truth of the matter come out.If Xu Shijin is really innocent, he will find a way to return his innocence.But Liu Ling looked at him with moist eyes, "Your private thoughts don't seem to be important in your case investigation. But they are very important to me. Shen Yan, I really trust you."
He was silent for a while, and said, "My selfishness makes me feel that Xu Shijin was pushed out by the prince to be an abandoned son. I think the whole situation was arranged by the prince." He pulled her up, "Because, the dead Seventh Prince , is the only son of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu is from the Lu family. Now it seems that the Lu family and the prince are actually hostile, but it cannot be completely said that they have no possibility of shaking hands and making peace. Xu Shijin may be abandoned... Xu family No matter what they think, their attitude may be subtle."
"Then His Majesty..."
"The Ministry of Rites, the Clan Mansion, and the Ministry of Punishment are all involved in this kind of major event. Jin Yiwei only supervises later, and we are not the first person in charge. Each of them has a position, so it's different." Shen Yan said, "I I think His Majesty has his own guesses."
"Lord Shen, where are you from?" Liu Ling asked, "Are you from His Majesty, or from the Crown Prince? Or is it just a simple matter that has nothing to do with you?"
"What a smart girl," Shen Yan smiled slightly, "Which side do you want me to be from?"
When Shen Yan said this, Liu Ling's heart sank.Under normal circumstances, Jin Yiwei is His Majesty's personal guard, and he has full authority to follow His Majesty's arrangements.But when Shen Yan asked her back now, she was tactfully implying that he might not belong to His Majesty.
Maybe she was afraid that the walls have ears, or she had other scruples, so Shen Yan would not speak out.
He is the prince's man?
How can it be?
When Liu Ling first met Shen Yan, he clearly...
Ah!
An inspiration flashed through her mind, calming her down.It was because of her, repeatedly because of her, that Shen Yan had to cooperate with the crown prince.After cooperating again and again, and using tricks again and again, until now, Shen Yan may not be able to completely distance himself from the prince.
The heart is astringent, and the anxiety and irritability of the night have all disappeared at this moment.
Liu Ling looked at her lover quietly, she stretched out her arms, put her arms around him, and gave him a hug.
The relationship behind her is so complicated, but the relationship behind Shen Yan is so simple.For her, he insisted on entering this big dye vat.Originally, there was no need to talk about any favors, originally he owed no favors to anyone.Everyone in the court is afraid of Jin Yiwei, everyone doesn't want to see Jin Yiwei, everyone keeps a distance from Jin Yiwei... But in order to protect her, Shen Yan took the olive branch from the prince.Once you take it, don't even think about getting off the ship.
But Shen Yan never told her.She always thought that he was so glamorous, so pure and elegant...
Shen Yan didn't know that Liu Ling had already thought so much in the blink of an eye.He patted the little girl who threw himself into his arms, and asked her with a smile, "Huh? Who do you want me to help?"
"I'm sorry." Liu Ling said sullenly.
Shen Yan raised her eyebrows, not understanding why she said that.Clutching Liu Ling's shoulders to keep her away from him a little bit, Shen Yan looked down at her sullen eyes and looked at each other for a long time, knowing it in his heart.He smiled nonchalantly, wiped her reddish nose with his finger, and said indifferently, "Liu Ling, after entering the imperial court and Jinyiwei, how can there be such an upright person as you think? I'm not as good as you think , the blood on my hands and the bones under my feet are much more than you think. I am not innocent, so you don't have to be ashamed of me."
"But because of me..."
"Liu Ling, there are few inevitable choices in the world. If you choose love, you have to give up responsibility. If you choose responsibility, you have to give up love. Few people will really face this kind of absolute multiple-choice question. Anyone who says Things that are "have to" have already been weighed and tended in the heart. It is not "have to", but "I want to"... Well, don't you understand?"
"...To be honest, I don't really understand." Liu Ling was completely dazed by him, "Master Shen, I don't quite understand your hint. Can you explain it clearly?"
"I mean, you don't have such a big face, let me give up my life and ideals for you. Do you understand?"
"...Understood, but I would rather not understand." Liu Ling leaned on Shen Yan's shoulder and said sadly.
Her touch, her guilt, her love... were all ruined by Shen Yan's straightforward explanation.It turned out that Shen Yan went around with her at first because he didn't want to hurt her feelings.In the end, she insisted on hitting her head on...
"So, which side do you want me to be from?" Mr. Shen's thoughts were too clear. After being disturbed by Liu Ling for so long, he couldn't find a breakthrough after pondering for a long time, so he simply brought the topic back to him bluntly.
Liu Ling didn't speak, but her eyes flickered.
Shen Yan whispered in her ear, "If you want Jin Yiwei to help Miss Xu, I can..."
"No, no need." Liu Ling interrupted, rejecting him.Shen Yan didn't tell her too much, but with just a few words from him, Liu Ling judged that too many people were involved in this matter.The Crown Prince, Ministry of Rites, Clan Mansion, Ministry of Punishment, Lu Family, Xu Family, and Jin Yiwei are all inside.Even if she wanted to help Xu Shijin, Liu Ling didn't want anything to happen to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan looked at her, "Then, you have to promise you, don't mess around."
"..." Liu Ling pursed her lips.
Shen Yan sighed, "If you have any ideas, please discuss with me."
Liu Ling nodded indiscriminately, "It's getting late, let's sleep."
She got up and walked for a long time, only to find that Shen Yan hadn't followed.She turned her head and saw that he was still sitting where he was, looking at her with a serious face.With Shen Yan's cold and solemn appearance, Liu Ling was still a little uncomfortable.
He looked at her coldly, "Do you know what husband and wife mean? Maybe you used to be indifferent to family and never considered this issue. But I tell you now, a husband and wife are both prosperous and both are prosperous. If something happens to you, I will You can't get rid of it. Do you know what Zhu Jiu Clan is? You are a princess, and your relatives over there are all surnamed Liu. , I bear the brunt of it." He didn't tell her, and the Shen family couldn't get rid of it.
"Don't say that!" Liu Ling shuddered, how could she make Mr. Shen suffer?She said solemnly, "I will never do anything wrong. If there is anything, I will discuss it with you. I promise."
Only then did Shen Yan feel relieved.
Shen Yan is indeed not in the habit of discussing official affairs with his family members. Although he awkwardly and stumbled a few words to Liu Ling last night, Liu Ling was actually confused.But seeing Mr. Shen's expression of not wanting to say anything but forcing himself to say it, Liu Ling couldn't bear to ask in detail.On the next day, after Shen Yan resumed his duties as Jin Yiwei and went to work, Liu Ling went directly to the palace to get first-hand news.
Such a big event happened in the harem, and people were panicked.The imperial concubine is in charge of the internal affairs of the harem, and she was also inseparable from the death of the seventh prince, and was scolded by His Majesty.If it wasn't for the much favored Princess Anhe, the imperial concubine would not have seen Liu Ling.When Liu Ling saw the imperial concubine, her expression was indifferent and calm. Compared with the panic of the palace people, she seemed much calmer.
The imperial concubine naturally knew the reason for Liu Ling's visit, so she didn't go around in circles with her, and told her directly, "Ms. Saying goodbye is a normal procedure. Concubine Shu was also with me at the time. When I saw Miss Xu, I invited Miss Xu to sit in her palace for a while. On the surface, Miss Xu never loses face. An hour later, my side was surrounded and I was not allowed to come in or out. Your Majesty came to sit with me last night, and he told me that Concubine Shu's seventh son Dead, it was Ms. Xu who suffocated to death. The Clan Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment have taken over the case, and even I have to listen to their questioning. I hope there will be a conclusion as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, this is unreasonable! How could Xiao Jin suffocate the Seventh Prince to death? She is not that kind of person! And since she is going to leave Beijing, she is crazy to cause trouble for herself?" Liu Ling excitedly stood up, " She is also a girl, since she was a child, even if she is cruel, she has never killed anyone with her own hands. Let alone a baby who is more than one year old... How could Xiao Jin be so vicious?"
"I think so too," said the noble concubine, "but it is said that Concubine Shu and Xiao Jin had an argument yesterday, and the two quarreled violently. The palace guards outside the palace heard it, and then saw Concubine Shu running out crying When Concubine Shu calmed down and went back, the Seventh Prince was gone. Miss Xu was the only one present. His Majesty showed me the records of the Clan Mansion last night, saying that Miss Xu was disturbed and mentally disturbed. Maybe it has something to do with that."
Liu Ling sneered.
The witnesses and physical evidence were all correct.
Everyone can prove that Concubine Shu has an alibi, but no one can prove Xu Shijin's innocence!
From the very beginning, this was a game waiting for Xu Shijin to enter.
"Your Majesty, this is clearly..."
The noble concubine waved her hand to stop Liu Ling from continuing, "A Ling, I can't help you with this matter. There are too many people involved, and it's not easy for me to just pick myself up. Do you understand? If you want to To save Miss Xu, you have to go to His Majesty... No, I don’t recommend that you go to His Majesty. Neither you nor I have any feelings for the dead child, because it is not our child, but the Seventh Prince is His Majesty’s own prince. He is at the most restless stage. Don't bump yourself into it. Let the Clan Mansion investigate first, maybe in two days, things will turn around." Her lowered eyes flickered slightly, "You don't even believe the Clan Mansion , you should also trust Jin Yiwei. If the Zongren Mansion conceals something, Jin Yiwei will also notice."
Liu Ling felt bitter: But Lord Shen had clearly hinted to her that Jin Yiwei might be on the side of the prince!In this case, Jin Yiwei may not be trustworthy...
Liu Ling believed that if she was the framed person, Shen Yan would strictly investigate.But if it is someone else, even if Xiao Jin is her friend, Shen Yan may not be so attentive.After all, Shen Yan also hinted to her last night that there is no such thing as a truly sober person after entering the imperial court and Jinyiwei.Shen Yan said that he was not clear, that is to say, he would not choose to tear himself apart with the prince unless the evidence was convincing.
Because Jin Yiwei is a little passive now.
Liu Ling really wished that she was a little stupid, and could not understand the charades Shen Yan was playing with her.But she understood it, and she understood it, so there was no way to cause trouble for Shen Yan...
"Yes, and Concubine Shu!" Liu Ling suddenly thought of this character, Concubine Shu is also the key point!Maybe Concubine Shu has some doubts...
Only when Liu Ling cheered up a little, the palace maid came in to report in a panic, "Mother, something is wrong! Concubine Shu has gone!"
"Go?! What do you mean?" The imperial concubine's face was very ugly, and another incident happened in the harem!She said angrily, "What the hell are they going to do?! Are they all crazy? This is the harem! This is His Majesty's inner courtyard! Do they still have His Majesty in their eyes?!"
The court ladies were trained to be submissive, and under the coercion of the imperial concubine, they dared not say a word.
Under the sunlight, Liu Ling felt dizzy.
This game, set up, is really... not leaving any room for development.
The noble concubine and Liu Ling rushed to Concubine Shu's palace. On the way, Liu Ling heard the cause of Concubine Shu's death: her own son died tragically, and Concubine Shu remained calm.When His Majesty visited last night, Concubine Shu also said that she would wait to see the truth of the matter, and she would never let anyone who killed her son go.Everyone was relieved, thinking that Concubine Shu had a deformed desire to survive and would not choose to die.But in fact, anything that waits to see the truth is a lie.She doesn't want to see the truth, she doesn't want to wait for her enemy to be killed, her son is already dead, even if the revenge is avenged, her son will not be resurrected.
Everyone thought she was a firm mother, and they sympathized with her experience, and rarely refused Concubine Shu's request.Just now, Concubine Shu dressed up and asked to go for a walk in the imperial garden.When everyone was not paying attention, Concubine Shu jumped into the lake and died.
Liu Ling walked with difficulty, following behind the imperial concubine, watching the Imperial Garden surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, the House of Internal Affairs was protecting the scene, waiting for the ministers of the Clan House to come.The imperial concubine looked embarrassed, and asked the maids and servants what was going on, and what did they think of Concubine Shu.
Liu Ling looked at the sparkling lake water, and when she heard "jump into the lake to die", her heart started to twitch.When she accidentally saw Concubine Shu's body wrinkled and swollen by the water, her face turned pale, and she turned her head unconsciously, not looking at it.
Concubine Shu's eyes were round and broken, with sadness and anger in her eyes.She was disappointed in this world, her death seemed to have snowed heavily in the harem, the cold was oppressive, and her heart was miserable.The body was salvaged, and many timid maids did not dare to go forward to confirm it.
Liu Ling's hands and feet were cold.
A warm and cold hand blocked her eyes with a cold air, and it was getting dark.He didn't use any force, he just blocked it loosely, the thick calluses on his hands rubbed her long eyelashes, from one temple to the other temple.It was so tightly blocked that she couldn't see anything clearly.
Liu Ling blinked quickly a few times, her long eyelashes brushed against his palm, maybe a little itchy, Liu Ling's hand hanging beside her was lightly squeezed.
The young man said, "Hey, don't look."
Liu Ling's whole body was fixed in his arms.
So she was no longer afraid.
Obediently let him cover her eyes.
"Master Shen?" Liu Ling heard Xiao Luo's questioning voice.
Shen Yan's voice was on top of her head, extremely indifferent, "It's okay, go and see it, and make a record."
Shen Yan led Liu Ling out of the imperial garden, and then put down the hand that blocked her eyes.Liu Ling raised her head and was about to give him a touching kiss.Seeing him lowering his eyes, he gave her a merciless reprimand, "You know you don't dare to look, but why did you run over there? Waiting for someone to admire your ghostly face? Or suspect that you murdered Concubine Shu?"
"...You really know how to joke. I'm not here. Could it be that I know witchcraft and kill people thousands of miles away?" Liu Ling was not convinced.
Shen Yan looked at her, "If I want to deal with you, I may not be able to use witchcraft as an excuse. This is the most taboo thing in the harem. Even if you are even a little suspicious, I can make you irreversible forever. Even if you are a princess , it's useless."
"Yingyingying," Liu Ling threw herself into his arms, "Thank you husband for not killing me! You are not my enemy, that's great."
Lord Shen always threatens her!
But at the same time, she also got a hint from Shen Yan's words: If a person with real power wants to kill someone, he will use any method.
She even realized belatedly: Xiaojin may be more dangerous than good.
The death of a seventh son of the emperor was already a capital crime; now that Concubine Shu is also dead, the evidence to retract the confession is completely gone, and Xu Shijin has to bear the fault of indirect murder.The two lives were all on Xu Shijin's head.
"Shen Yan," Liu Ling said slowly, "I want to meet Xiao Jin, is that okay?"
"...Yes." Shen Yan hesitated a little, and opened the back door for his wife.
The case of Xu Shijin's murder of the prince was presided over by the clan's mansion. Even if it was Jin Yiwei, even if it was a princess, it was not easy to go in and visit him.Shen Yan spent a lot of effort to let Liu Ling in.Fortunately, Liu Ling is a princess and a weak woman, so there will be no threat, so the clan government let her go.
Xu Shijin was locked in the innermost part of the prison with strong iron bars and chains on his hands and feet.
Liu Ling saw a slender girl in white, sitting in a corner with her knees hugged.The iron chain was so heavy that it bound her thin hands and feet, which made people feel sad for no reason.When it was lunch time, the noise of the prisoners outside came in. Xu Shijin just sat quietly with his head bowed, as if he had been separated from reality.
Liu Ling called her "Xiao Jin", tears welled up.
Xu Shijin looked up and saw Liu Ling outside the railing.She smiled slightly, still elegant and gentle, "A Ling, you are here. I knew that you would come to see me."
"...Xiao Jin, you are so smart, how did you make yourself into what you are now?" Liu Ling squatted down, holding on to the cold railing, gritted her teeth, "I will find a way to save you, I will definitely find a way. "
Xu Shijin leaned against the wall, smiling warmly and weakly, "No need, I don't think I can get out, and I won't survive."
"Why do you say that?" Liu Ling frowned, "Do you know something? Xiao Jin, you have to tell me. Only if you tell me without reservation, can I find a solution."
Xu Shijin was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "I didn't receive any gifts from him the day before yesterday, or yesterday. I don't think there will be any today. When there were no gifts the day before yesterday, I should have guessed that something would happen."
"He? Who?" Liu Ling's thoughts turned around in her mind, and she asked in surprise, "You mean the prince?!" She stood up angrily, "Xu Shijin! Are you still obsessed with obsession? Do you think he will still control you?" ?!"
"I know! I know he won't care about me, and I know he's going to kill me!" Xu Shijin shouted.
She put her head on her knees, and suddenly started to cry, "For so many years, he has given me gifts every day. If he didn't give them all of a sudden, it was a signal to give up on me. I mistrusted him, I thought he just didn't want me, I I thought he just wanted to marry someone else, I didn't know that he wanted me to die if he didn't want me."
"He gave me up just when I thought I could get him. He was about to kill me when I just started to forgive him for being heartless."
"Six years! A full six years! Not a single day, nothing at all! I never hurt him, I always thought about him, I always thought he had me in his heart, and now I know... I was wrong How outrageous."
Every day when the palace gate was locked, he would send her a word or a gadget.She had admired him for many years, and this was the consolation that kept her going.It was dark this day, and he had nothing to give her.She lived in darkness all year round, she gave up a lot of things, only the little light he brought made her hold on tightly.When she has no one to wait for, it is the arrival of the darkness of the eternal night.
What should she choose?
What should she choose? !
The bright young man she had been thinking about, he had changed beyond recognition over time.He is the only one, he is glamorous, he is everything she yearns for, and he is also the original sin!
"A Ling, do you know?" Xu Shijin raised her head from her lap, her face was distorted from crying, she didn't look like that gentle girl at all.In the dark prison, she showed her friend a desolate, powerless, and miserable smile, "I struggled in the dark, I chose and gave up, I floated up and down, but it was useless. They didn't give My chance to see the light will only push me down hard. Ah Ling, I'm so sad!"
"A Ling, I'm so sad!" Xu Shijin had never said such sad words.
She should be full of brilliance, proud and confident, loved and envied by others, but in fact, she said, she was so sad.
Liu Ling's eye circles suddenly turned red.
She stretched out her hand and found that she was unable to touch Xu Shijin's hand.Darkness will swallow all strength, Xu Shijin just sat on the wall, watching her cry and laughing.
"I will save you, I will definitely save you," Liu Ling repeated as if promising, "Xiao Jin, you trust me."
Xu Shijin burst into tears, and she shook her head, "You can't help me. Ah Ling, you have to live a good life, don't involve yourself. You have to think about Mr. Shen, and don't make things difficult for him. Between you and me, as long as If one is doing well, it’s good.”
Between Xu Shijin and Liu Ling, as long as one of them gets happiness.
This has always been Xu Shijin's true thoughts.
She is actually very pessimistic, has been very pessimistic.
Liu Ling said, "You know me, Xiao Jin. If you don't tell me the truth, I will go crazy, but I don't care. Do you want to see me go crazy?"
In the darkness, Xu Shijin looked at her quietly. After a long time, she smiled lightly, feeling sad and speechless.
She said, "Okay, let me tell you. You don't want to get in touch with yourself, and you don't want to get in touch with Mr. Shen. Actually, what's the use of telling you? I can't solve the situation myself, and if I tell you, you can't do anything about it."
It was not only the crown prince who wanted to kill Xu Shijin, but also the Lu family.
The prince and the Lu family reached an agreement, the prince cut off her arm, and the Lu family cut off the support of concubine Shu and the seventh prince.Only when the Lu family is willing to abandon Concubine Shu and the Seventh Prince will the prince trust the Lu family.Only when the prince is willing to put aside Xu Shijin, who is like a military adviser, and is willing to help the Lu family get rid of this enemy, will the Lu family trust the prince.
The prince was unwilling at first, but at this time, Xu Shijin proposed to leave Beijing, and was discovered by the prince, and she and Shen Yu began to make friends again.The crown prince has never felt at ease with Jin Yiwei, nor has he ever doubted the relationship between Xu Shijin and Shen Yu.The prince was worried that Xu Shijin and Shen Yu would cooperate against him, so he simply accepted the Lu family's conditions and let Xu Shijin simply disappear.
At the same time, the prince also wanted to appease the Xu family, so that the Xu family would not rebound.
Xu Shijin smiled, "A Ling, Concubine Shu must be dead, right? The candidate for the crown princess of the Ministry of Rites must have been decided, right? A girl from the Xu family? Only in this way can the Xu family stay temporarily and choose to suffer this loss." She paused and said, "The only one who can save me, and is willing to save me, may be the Xu family. But the Xu family has remained silent until now, probably because they recognized the result and didn't want to turn against the prince. Although I think they It's a stupid decision, but I'm in jail, what can I do?"
"I'll lobby the Xu family for you." Liu Ling said.
Xu Shijin shook his head, "The Xu family has already made a decision, lobbying is useless. Ah Ling, now, the crown prince, the Lu family, the Xu family, and His Majesty who lost his parents all want me to die. Only when I die can they cooperate. Happy. They destroyed all the evidence. Even if Mr. Shen is against you, even if Jin Yiwei is willing to help me get rid of the crime, what will they do? Everything I said is speculation! I have no evidence, what do you do? Possibly evidence?"
"A Ling, don't get involved. You have to protect yourself. There are too many people who want me to die. Under the pressure of many parties, you can't help it."
Liu Ling said, "I won't let you die." She turned around and left.
Xu Shijin called her from behind for a long time, but Liu Ling didn't look back.
Back at the mansion, when Shen Yan came back, Liu Ling told Shen Yan everything that Xu Shijin had told her.Shen Yan frowned, "Prince...well."
His expression is somewhat intriguing.
Perhaps others would skip Shen Yan's expression, but as the person who knows Shen Yan best, Liu Ling would not miss it.She pulled him back and asked anxiously, "Is there something you can do? Can you pick Xiaojin out?"
"I can't," Shen Yan looked down at her, "you can't either. If you don't want Miss Xu to die, you can't start with the court. You have to think of other ways."
"...What are you implying to me?" Liu Ling was silent for a while.
Shen Yan rubbed her head with a smile in his eyes.
After appeasing his little wife, Shen Yan went to the inner room to change clothes, and Liu Ling followed behind him step by step, "Shen Yan, I feel that you...you are not upright at all, you are always tempting me to do bad things. Looks like I know..."
"I really don't know anything," Shen Yan casually closed the door, blocking Liu Ling from the outside, "I didn't tell you anything either."
Leaning against the flower stand by the door, Liu Ling smiled: After getting married, she and Shen Yan had more interactions.After becoming husband and wife, there are many things that they didn't understand before, and they can't hide them at all.Only then did she know that Shen Yan was indeed as he said, not aboveboard at all.Before, she thought of Shen Yan too high.
It's a pity that I got on a pirate ship and couldn't get off.
Liu Ling asked him, "But when you talk about the prince... I feel that you still have something to hide from me. Shen Yan, what are you doing? It always feels like you are playing a big game of chess."
Through a door, Shen Yan said, "It has nothing to do with you. You should think of a way first, how can Miss Xu escape death."
When he came out again, Liu Ling was surprised.Because Shen Yan didn't change his regular uniform, but changed into his official uniform again.He said, "I'll go to the palace."
"Are you trying to find a way to clear Xiaojin's charges?" Liu Ling asked happily.
Shen Yan broke her fantasy, "No, it has nothing to do with Ms. Xu. I'm unlikely to help Ms. Xu. I hope you realize the reality."
"..." Liu Ling had no choice but to accept the reality.
A few days later, Liu Ling thought of another way and went to prison to see Xu Shijin once.After that, in order not to cause trouble for Shen Yan, she never went there again.
The news about Xu Shijin kept flowing from Shen Yan to Liu Ling's ears: under several pressures, Xu Shijin could not clear himself of the crime and was about to be sentenced to death.
It seems that the Xu family really doesn't intend to take care of it.Xu Shijin is sentenced, and the Xu family will also be affected.But the crown princess's seat was secured by the crown prince again, so the Xu family remained silent, being what Xu Shijin called "idiots".
No one can save Xu Shijin.
Shen Yan told Liu Ling that she had better not see Xu Shijin again.
Under Liu Ling's urging, Shen Yan had no evidence to help Xu Shijin, so he refused to help.But he doesn't help, there is another Shen family who will help.
One night, like a few days ago, the interrogation ended, and Xu Shijin leaned against the wall with his head in a daze.In the darkness, a white light suddenly approached her.She looked puzzled, sat up in surprise, and saw a corner of Shen Yu's white clothes.
He stood outside the iron fence and looked at her with a smile.
Xu Shijin's body tensed up instantly, and then relaxed again.She pursed her lips, "You shouldn't have come. In Jinyiwei, you only have a name and no authority. It's useless for you to come."
"Do you know that you are bound to die?" Shen Yu asked her with a smile as if she had never heard of it.
Xu Shijin was in a bitter mood, but seeing his slight smile, he felt cheerful.She also smiled, "I know. So you want to see me one last time?"
"Then I have seen you for the last time many times." Shen Yu said.
"..." Xu Shijin was stunned for a moment, then laughed unconsciously, his eyes were slightly red.
Yes, she said goodbye to Shen Yu many times.Not to mention the time when she was 14 years old, a few days ago, before she was leaving Beijing, she said goodbye to him.I didn't expect the world to get people, a few days later, it was the last time.
"Xiao Jin, do you want to go out?" Shen Yu leaned against the iron railing and asked her casually, "Or, do you think he wants you to die so much, it would be better for you to die?"
Xu Shijin was in a daze for a long time, and laughed dumbly, "How could I want to die? I was never the kind of person who would commit suicide at will. I also want to live and get out, but there is no other way?"
"You want to go out?" Shen Yu turned his head to look at her, seeing her nodded, he said strangely, "I want to live, I want to go out, why can't I do it?"
Xu Shijin looked at him, puzzled.The next moment, when he heard the bang, Xu Shijin stared blankly, stood up abruptly, and ran to the iron railing, "You're crazy! Shen Xiaoyu, you lunatic!"
Shen Yu forcibly broke open the iron fence that was still extremely firm just now, revealing a spacious gap that could allow one person to go out.Xu Shijin stumbled in front of him, he smiled at her, grabbed her wrist, and slashed with his bare hands, the chain on her hand shattered.
Shen Yu used the same method to help her remove the chain from her feet.
A small official heard something strange and came to check in a hurry, but was knocked down by Shen Yu a few times, his face was full of disbelief before he fell into a coma.
Yeah, who would believe it?
This is the dungeon.
Shen Yu is the commander of Jinyiwei.
He even said that he would rob a prison, so he would rob a prison.
Shen Yu reached out to Xu Shijin and smiled frivolously, "Do you dare to come with me?"
Xu Shijin looked at him for a long time.
What she loves, the mountains are high and the roads are far away.Those who love her are within close proximity.
If you go with him, that is a felony, and you will never want to come back.
Follow him, maybe even out of this door, and they will all die.
Follow him, the Xu family, the Shen family... No, these two families will not be implicated.The two families have their own choices, especially the Shen family, with Shen Yan around, nothing will happen to the Shen family.
So, now, Shen Xiaoyu stood in front of her, stretched out his hand, and asked her if she dared to go with him.
Xu Shijin's tears fell, but the corner of her mouth was smiling. She put her hand on his, "I... dare."
For the first time, she wanted to go to Shen Yu.She wanted to stand with Shen Yu, even if a thousand people pointed her at her, and a thousand arrows pierced her heart.
