Fendai Weiyang

Chapter 229 Prison
Qian Fei couldn't hear the details in the mansion, but she could almost figure it out.

King Ning will take over the mission of entertaining the Xian people, probably Jiang Liran is responsible for it, right?And those letters and evidences of King Ning's collusion with the Xian people, and even the evidence of what King Ning did in Jinxi, were they all produced by Jiang Liran?
……

Although the emperor is old, he is not confused.

At first, after hearing the words of King Ning and the Xian family, they wished they could immediately treat Prince Rui as a bastard, the royal family cannot leave such a stain on it!

But what Prince Rui said was convincing, even the secret letter evidence presented was convincing.

The emperor recognized King Ning's handwriting, and he was also very familiar with the stamps of the Xian family, as well as the handwriting of the fourth prince Ni Wang. The emperor looked at it several times.

In an instant, he seemed to be many years older.

Thinking about it in detail, this matter is indeed strange, this time King Ning was only contaminated with the Xian family, and such a big scandal broke out, this is to put Prince Rui to death!
He is too aware of his own knots, and too aware of how to make himself angry.

If Prince Rui reacted a little later, or if the evidence presented was insufficient, the Emperor might think that he was trying to quibble, and would be even more furious.

Those who can sit on the throne are not simple-minded, suspicious is common, and conceit is also common.

The emperor wanted to understand the joints, but felt that Prince Ning was really not simple, he almost manipulated his emotions, while Prince Rui was still kneeling outside the hall at this moment, wearing plain and simple clothes.

The Emperor has always known that his temperament is too benevolent, previously he thought that Prince Rui's temperament might lack some courage to make arbitrary decisions.

However, at this moment, the emperor felt that it was better to be kind and soft than to think about some chilling things in his bones, which would reassure him.

Calculation is a kind of thing that lurks in the bones. A person who is too calculating will feel like a demon in his heart, and he will be addicted to it throughout his life. He may use his calculations when he should not calculate. on people...

No matter how high and powerful a person is, even the emperor who already has the entire dynasty, he will not let such factors appear by his side.

Hidden long enough...

Previously, I thought that King Ning was a clumsy person who would never disobey his own will. Seeing him spare no effort to clean up the remnants of the rebellious king for himself, he never expected that he would even scare himself...

"Koizumi, go, bring Prince Rui in, it's cold, don't damage your body..."

"……twitter."

*************************************
The fact that King Ning was thoroughly investigated was originally welcome.

Qian Fei held her stomach all day long, waiting at home for any news about King Ning like a chick waiting to be fed.

But suddenly one day, her news was cut off.

Bai Ling couldn't find out anything, and the second brother, Xu Ping, and Hai Yuanlu all said they didn't know the latest development.

It is said that although the emperor is furious, it is related to the royal family's face, and all matters are handled quietly, so they don't know what is going on.

"Why is it not clear? Didn't you say two days ago that the Emperor will hand over this matter to Prince Rui to find out? Doesn't that mean that the Emperor is biased towards Prince Rui, why is he not clear all of a sudden?"

"This..., although Prince Ning can't get away with the crime of trying to frame his siblings, but this matter is very involved, and Prince Rui has to take his time, so..., so there is no news for the time being."

Qian Fei tilted her head in doubt, the charges have been settled, what else can I take my time?

Although Prince Rui's heart is not that kind of vicious person, but this time, Prince Ning wanted to put him to death, no matter how much he cared about the brotherhood, he wouldn't have any kindness towards Prince Ning, right?
Unless Prince Rui is stupid, a person like Prince Ning will revive if given him the slightest chance, why should he hesitate?
"A Fei, it's useless for you to worry about these things in your heart. We can't control this. You are also heavy now, so you can just wait at home."

Qian Fei frowned, Hai Yuanlu was also surprised, he didn't dare to meet her eyes, with this posture, something must have happened, right?

……

After another three days, Qian Fei finally found out what happened after seeing the person sent by Prince Rui.

Jiang Liran, as King Ning's confidant, has a lot of criminal evidence in his hands. As a repeat offender, he has already been sent to prison.

"How is it possible! I want to see Prince Rui, you take me to see him now, I want to see Prince Rui now!"

Qian Fei's teeth are chattering, sent to prison?Why did you go to prison again?
Is there such a fate between Jiang Liran and the prison?Obviously he made meritorious service and helped bring down Prince Ning, how could Prince Rui let him go to prison? !

"Miss Xia, His Highness Prince Rui has been busy with this matter recently, and I'm afraid he won't have time to see you, but he asked me to bring you a message, thank you for your help these days, Lady Xia, what kind of rewards does Lady Xia want to reward Your Highness?" They will all agree, but... Mrs. Xia should know about the repeated crimes in the court, even if it is His Highness, there is no way..."

"..."

The blood on Qian Fei's face faded little by little.

What Prince Rui meant was that she couldn't demand the release of Jiang Liran?
Why? !

She came to the capital and did so much to become Jiang Liran!Now tell her that she can get any reward except Jiang Liran?What else could she want? !

"When will Prince Rui be free? I want to see him."

"This...slaves also..."

"I can wait, I can go to the gate of the palace and wait every day, as long as we meet, it won't take too long!"

"... If Miss Xia is willing, then so be it..."

……

After Prince Rui's men came, Xia Qianzhen and Hai Yuanxi almost stayed close to Qian Fei, fearing that something might happen to her.

Even Jia Qingzhi, who was always out of tune, kept appearing in Qian Fei's sight.

It wasn't until after King Ning's incident came out that they vaguely realized that Jiang Liran had done something that they couldn't see.

However, these things did not free him from it, on the contrary, it became more and more disturbing.

It would be fine if Jiang Liran did it on his own, but there are indications that King Ning's current situation is inseparable from him.

Even Xia Qianzhen couldn't persuade Qian Fei, Jiang Liran chose such a path, and even got himself into it, why was he?
"A Fei, today you also...go to Prince Rui's Mansion?"

Qian Fei gathered the cloak on her body and nodded silently.

Xia Qianzhen felt pain in her heart, and she didn't dare to rest her eyes on her abdomen.

He wanted to persuade Qian Fei, it had been so many days, Prince Rui was obviously avoiding her, otherwise why didn't he see anyone until now?How could Prince Rui be so busy that he couldn't even spare a quarter of an hour?

But Xia Qianzhen's words of persuasion came to her lips, but she couldn't utter them.

Qian Fei's cheeks were visibly thinner, worse than when she first arrived in the capital, and her eyes were frighteningly bright.

She is such an intelligent woman, how could she not know what Prince Rui meant?
But Qian Fei still dragged her heavy body to wait every day.

Because of this time, Jiang Liran was not picked up by someone and wanted to be reused, but went to jail.

Qian Fei couldn't wait for a moment in the prison where she didn't know when she would die, she tried every means to see Prince Rui, even Hai Yuanlu begged, but the result was still not satisfactory.

"Second brother, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just waiting for someone, but my husband is living a difficult life in prison, compared to this, I'm pretty good."

Qian Fei could still laugh, but in Xia Qianzhen's eyes, that smile made him feel worse than crying...

********************************
In the gloomy and dark prison, the air was filled with misty dust and a fishy smell.

The sound of the chains was creepy, clattering, with a cold and cruel breath.

Hearing the movement in front of him, Jiang Liran raised his head slightly, squinting his eyes to see the person who walked in.

"You all go out."

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Rui."

……

"Look, Mr. Jiang is doing well here."

"Thank you for His Highness Prince Rui's care."

"Hehe, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to get those things smoothly, but since I got them from you, you can't get away with it..."

"I knew this when I first came to look for His Highness."

"..."

Prince Rui recalled that day when Jiang Liran mysteriously appeared in front of him, and spread everything he brought before his eyes. At that time, Jiang Liran's eyes were full of resignation and determination, even at this moment. Looking back, it cheered him up.

Lifting up Jingui's clothes and sitting on the floor, Prince Rui's eyes scanned Jiang Liran's body back and forth.

"I have never understood why Mr. Jiang is like this. Although the third brother has an extreme temper, people who value him have always been kind to him. Mr. Jiang is by his side, and he must be reused. If the third brother ascends the throne, Mr. Jiang's past will not be good. There is a limit, but you handed those things into my hands, and you would rather end up like this..."

Prince Rui himself laughed out of disbelief, "Young Master Jiang's behavior is really puzzling."

The environment in the prison is very bad. Even if Jiang Liran was not punished, he has already lost his shape after these few days.

His eye sockets were sunken, the fundus of his eyes was black and blue, his lips were so dry that their skin burst, he smiled indifferently, bloodshot from the cracked opening.

"I'm just, I've tasted enough regrets, why should I be afraid of death? I'm afraid that if I die, there will still be a hidden danger that may arise. In that case, I will not die in peace."

"Master Jiang is talking about your wife, right? Mrs. Xia? Are you worried that the third brother's moody temper will implicate her?"

Jiang Liran, who had been able to maintain his composure until now, had a flash of light in his eyes.

In the extremely dark prison, Prince Rui could actually think of the stars in the sky.

"Mistress Xia has been waiting in front of this king's mansion non-stop for a while. A girl with a big belly refuses to move from morning to night. It's no wonder..."

Prince Rui was startled by Jiang Liran's face suddenly raised, his heart skipped a beat, but he was helpless.

"This king knows what Miss Xia wants, but I can't agree to it. You are an important witness to testify against my third brother. How can I let you go? It's just that Mrs. Xia is kind to this king..."

His Highness Prince Rui's voice became ethereal, he knew in his heart that without Xia Qianfei's guidance, this time alone would be enough for him to die several times, and it would be His Majesty's intention, he would not be able to escape.

However, the previous ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and his move to draw a clear line between the Xian people played a role, and Jiang Liran sent evidence, some of which, Jiang Liran made it clear, were imitated by him...

How could he calculate in such detail?The imitation was so authentic that even he knew it was an imitation, he couldn't find any traces at all, let alone others who didn't know the situation.

Thanks to these, His Majesty was continuously attacked, and it was an ironclad evidence that could not be defended at all, so the matter was settled so quickly, and the third brother was directly convicted without a chance to plead.

All of this, without Xia Qianfei and Jiang Liran, he probably wouldn't be able to escape...

But now, he couldn't let Jiang Liran leave, and even after that, Jiang Liran couldn't escape the conviction...

"Third brother lost this time because he underestimated the woman's character. He probably didn't know until now that the reason for his failure was a woman he didn't like at all."

"I really admire Mr. Jiang's methods, but if there is no Mrs. Xia to support you, your news will not be delivered so accurately, and you will not be able to simply bring down the third brother."

Jiang Liran coughed twice, his voice hoarse and dry.

"Your Highness, the woman I like is naturally different."

Prince Rui laughed, his expression relaxed a bit.

"Mr. Jiang's ability is extraordinary, and this king admires it. Don't worry, this king is not the third younger brother. He will definitely keep his word when he promises you."

"So..., thank you Your Highness..."

……

The sound of rattling chains broke through the dullness in the prison again.

Jiang Liran lowered his head and leaned against the wall, his eyes closed wearily.

From the beginning, he thought of such an ending.

He is just an ordinary businessman. Although he was born again, he does not have the ability to reach the sky. To be able to use up everything to bring down King Ning has already made him exhausted.

Yet this is enough.

Prince Rui was different from Prince Ning, even if there was an inside story about the matter this time, those letters were indeed fake, but Prince Rui would not kill everything in order to silence the rumors.

That's all Jiang Liran asked for.

He didn't want Qian Fei to live in fear in the days to come, with Prince Rui's temperament, maybe he would even protect him one or two.

He thought that Qian Fei could live in peace, and live the unfinished life in the previous life in peace.

As for myself...

In Jiang Liran's eyes, a courtyard appeared, with blue bricks and slabs, stone tables and benches, green pine, bamboo and plum, exquisite and elegant...

In this previous life, where he often woke up from nightmares covered in cold sweat, there was no longer that pool of bright red, and there was no lifeless Xia Qianfei lying on his lap with her eyes closed.

She will live well, take their children, and see everything she missed in her previous life.

In this way, it is enough...

**************************************
"A Fei! Ah Fei, listen to me, don't go anymore, Prince Rui won't see you, he is already conniving to tolerate your behavior like this every day, if someone has a heart to dig into your whereabouts, maybe he will find you If something happens, His Highness Prince Rui is already quite merciful, don't challenge his authority anymore!"

Xia Qianzhen took Qian Fei's arm to block her way.

It's just his voice, it seems that Qian Fei can't hear it at all.
