pampering wife

Chapter 136

This prison is very quiet, Qingmei can clearly hear footsteps from far to near as she knelt on the ground.The person in the front walked a little hastily and frivolously, but the one behind was calm and calm, sounding a little familiar.She frowned and lowered her head, and when she saw a corner of the apricot-yellow dress, she knelt down and said, "I greet the prince, I greet the King of England."

The robe at the door was still swinging slowly, and the middle-aged man's voice sounded above his head, "Excuse me."

Qingmei stood up, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the person coming. A man in his thirties, with a dignified and condensed face, has a somewhat vain gaze. Although he looks awe-inspiring because of his status, it doesn't have much deterrent power.Four patterns of dragons were embroidered on his apricot yellow clothes, obviously it was the prince's clothes, Qingmei didn't dare to look at it, she glanced at Junli who was standing behind her, she felt a lot more at ease, and then lowered her eyes again.

The crown prince sized her up and said, "You are Qu Changyan?"

"It's a folk girl." Qingmei had no choice but to salute and reply.Jun Li took half a step forward and said to the prince, "Brother Huang, if you have anything to ask, you can go to the interrogation room next door. People from Dali Temple are already waiting." Sweeping over Ome did not stop.

The prince said "Yes", and the jailer came up behind him, and brought Qingmei to the secret room.

Qingmei had never experienced this kind of battle before, she didn't know the officials sitting in the hall, the crown prince and Junli were sitting on the big chairs behind, listening to the interrogator's questioning.Qingmei was only three years old when Qu Heng was sentenced, and they didn't have much to ask, but it was her memories of those years and her experiences in the past few years. Qingmei answered truthfully, and the interrogator reported a few words to the prince before sending her off again. go back.

It was only a stick of incense before and after, but it made Qingmei feel tight, especially when the prince glanced over occasionally, it gradually sent a chill down her spine.

It is said that the prince is now 30 years old, and the eldest daughter is already ten years old and has been appointed as the head of the county. He is also the head of the East Palace, so he should have a noble and dignified demeanor.However, Qingmei was not like this when she secretly looked at her. Her eyes were vain and her footsteps were unsteady. Even though she was a royal nobleman in her prime, she was not as energetic as Junli.It was his gaze, which was gloomy and cold in the vanity, not like the emperor's appearance mentioned in the book.

Such a master of the East Palace... no wonder the second prince can contend with him.

Qingmei sat on the straw mat and wrapped the belt around her fingertips.The question just now was very quick and brief. In fact, there were not many important things. It could attract the prince to come here in person. I am afraid that the prince wanted to see the true face of her, the hidden daughter of a criminal minister.This case involved He Xiang, the most powerful man in the court, the Marquis of Wu'an, who was in charge of the Mobei army, and the King of England, who was extremely sacred. Even the second prince might secretly make a move. It is not surprising that the prince will pay attention.It's just that she still couldn't figure out why the emperor asked the prince to intervene in this matter.

After all, she knew too little about the affairs of the court, she sighed softly, and looked outside the iron gate.The jailer slowly patrolled back and forth, the sunlight came in from the window on the top of the prison wall, there was only such a small side, and the dust fluttered in the middle, the warmth and brightness of the sun was only a step away from the darkness and coldness of the prison.

She closed her eyes, and after a while, she heard footsteps again. The jailer opened the cell door, and someone came in with a food box, and there were two guards outside.

"Girl Qingmei." It was Danqing's voice. He put the food box on the simple table, took out two plates of side dishes and a pot of pear wine from the Plum Tavern, "It's not convenient for the prince to come here in person because he is busy with business, so he asked me to come and have a look." you."

"My lord is bothering you." Qing Mei sat down across from him, after taking two mouthfuls of food, she was finally a little worried, "What's going on outside?"

"My lord and Marquis Wu An have been preparing for a long time, and things are going well. Girl, just wait for the news. You will have a letter within five or six days. It's just that I'm going to wrong you these few days." Dan Qing pointed out, "My lord Although it has been dealt with, after all, this prison is no better than other places, and he can't interfere too much, so as not to let people hold the ground and affect General Qu's case, he said that he will take you out as soon as possible."

"I'm fine here. I didn't suffer any hardships when I was a child. It's nothing. Besides, you brought me food." Qingmei smiled, intending to comfort Danqing and then the King of England.She took a sip of wine, but still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "It's just why the emperor sent the prince to investigate this case?" The prince is related to the interests of the He family, isn't the emperor afraid that he will favor others?

Danqing shook his head and said: "I don't understand the twists and turns here, but I just heard a word from Chang Shi in the mansion." He leaned over and said in a low voice: "Master Chang Shi said, the emperor is testing the crown prince. .”

The emperor used this case to test the prince to see if he would be selfish?Thinking about it this way, it makes sense.They talked for a while, and after a while, a jailer came to urge him, so Danqing had no choice but to leave first.

The nights in prison are naturally cold and long. Sleeping on straw mats is not too uncomfortable, but the weather is cold at night and here is a stone room, so it is inevitable to be air-conditioned. Fortunately, there are blankets to cover it, so it is not too uncomfortable.It's just that this kind of quietness and apprehension makes people feel tormented, finally looking forward to the dawn, Qingmei is somewhat looking forward to the movement outside, but also a little afraid, for fear that something will happen.
