first minister

Chapter 253

In Changle Palace, Concubine De stood in the hall, letting the maids take care of her rare and luxurious palace attire.

Her face was full of determination and determination.

After taking this step, her past forbearance and disguise in front of Emperor Chongning for more than ten years will no longer exist, and it will be difficult to reshape;

If she takes this step, the reputation and trust she has accumulated over the past ten years will be at risk of collapse;

Taking this step forward, she will attract all the criticisms that did not affect her originally. The criticisms from the courtiers, the censure from the scholars, and the backlash from the common people will all be hurdles in her future road;
But she doesn't regret it. Some people don't measure the depth of their feelings by the length of time.

Although the past six months are short, how many things he has done for himself, now, it is time for him to repay him.

The palace lady put on the tiara that belonged exclusively to the imperial concubine, and she saw a graceful, luxurious and unparalleled beauty from the world's first mirror.

He walked slowly to the box beside him, picked up the phoenix seal that belonged to the queen, glanced at it, and said softly: "After today, you should change the owner."

After finishing speaking, she put down the phoenix seal that everyone in the harem dreamed of, and walked out without hesitation.

"Miss!"

A few voices with complicated emotions came from behind, like persuasion, but also like persuasion.

Concubine De stopped, turned around, and forced a laugh, "Don't be nervous, take care of your son, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Nanny Yuan sighed, she knew she should persuade her, but she also knew that she couldn't persuade her.

Concubine De slowly turned back, facing the clear sky in the door frame, like a bird in a cage looking up at the sky.

She took a deep breath and stepped out of the palace door.

"Miss!"

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, there was a hasty shout followed by a hurried figure, rushing to Concubine De in a hurry, almost bumping into her.

"You're going to die!"

Nanny Yuan was so depressed that she had nowhere to vent, and she was about to slap her mouth as she spoke, but Concubine De stopped her and waved her hand, "Be careful next time, you must have a good manner in the palace, or you will be seen by others." It will be so easy."

"Yes."

The maid subconsciously nodded meekly, then suddenly realized what she was doing, and immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty, just now there is news from the outer court that Duke Fengyang of Qin's family has entered the palace to release Young Master Xia, and then His Majesty will do it!"

"Really?"

Concubine De, who had always been gentle and calm, with a dignified demeanor, was instantly agitated and grabbed her hand.

The palace maid nodded heavily, "It is said that the old military god Jiang from the bamboo forest wrote a letter to Fengyang Gong."

Concubine De let out a long sigh of relief, with a gratified smile on her face.

Sure enough, he is the only one who can help me, no one can help him without me!

What a man who can always perform miracles!

"Miss?"

"Huh?" Concubine De came back from her thoughts.

"pain!"

The little palace maid looked at the arm that was still tightly held, and Concubine De smiled and let go of her hand, and patted it, "Nurse Yuan, watch!"

As soon as the words were finished, several court ladies and eunuchs came running quickly outside one after another.

"Congratulations, empress!"

"Congratulations, Niangniang, Hexi Niangniang!"

The Changle Palace was filled with laughter and laughter, and the haze of the past half month was swept away!
-
Nancheng, the backyard of an ordinary gambling house.

Su Yuanshang sat with Lu Pair.

"What happened to the things Gao Yang arranged before he was imprisoned?"

Lu nodded his head, "I've gained something, but it's just some clues. I have to wait for Brother Su and you to see if it can be used as evidence."

Su Yuanshang frowned, "I can't wait. Let's talk about it first."

Lu Yi took out a few pieces of paper from a hidden box in the room and handed them to Su Yuanshang. At the same time, he told the information he had and detected. Su Yuanshang frowned while watching and listening.

It's not that Lu Yi's ability is not good, and it's not that these news are useless, but that these things are basically of no help to the current situation.

Then there is a magical weapon that cuts iron like mud, and it is not as good as a long plank when used as a paddle.

That's the problem now.

Su Yuanshang thought for a while, and managed to come up with a solution. He looked at Lu Yidao and said, "Just ruining the things you have worked so hard to get these days, will you feel unhappy?"

Lu Yi shook his head resolutely, "I said before that I can be a man again because of your kindness, Big Brother Su. I can still be a man because the young master saved my life. So, as long as I can help him, how can I help him?" Maybe it’s a small matter.”

"That's fine."

Su Yuanshang nodded and looked at the thing in his hand, "It's really a pity. If this thing waits for Gao Yang to come out and give it to him to analyze the layout, it might be something that can shake the sky!"

"No way, Brother Su, didn't you say that, if you can't participate in Chunwei, you will be in big trouble."

"Well, yes, let's just focus on the present first, and then plan for the future."

After speaking, Su Yuanshang began to give orders, first this and then that, Lu Yi listened attentively.

After he finished speaking, Su Yuanshang stood up slowly, "Go and act, it's not too late, and if it's too late, it might be too late."

Lu Yi pursed his lips and got up, and clasped his fists at him, "Brother Su, don't worry!"

As soon as the words fell, someone knocked on the door of the room, and the two immediately looked at each other vigilantly. Su Yuanshang was about to find a place to hide immediately, but fortunately, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "It's me."

Su Yuanshang heaved a sigh of relief, and Lu Yi also stepped forward to open the door and let Chen Fugui in, "Brother Chen, why are you here?"

Chen Fugui looked at the two with a sullen face, and when the two gradually followed his expression and were too nervous to speak, he suddenly smiled foolishly, "The young master has been released!"

"really?"

Su Yuanshang jumped up excitedly and grabbed Chen Fugui's arm.

Lu Yi also showed surprise and looked at Chen Fugui in shock.

Chen Fugui nodded, "The news came out from the palace just now that the old army god of the Jiang family took action, wrote a letter to the Qin family, and sent a picture to His Majesty, and then the old head of the Qin family took the initiative to write a letter, and all the court officials No one dared to object, and the matter was settled.”

Lv Yi laughed, and said proudly: "Young Master, you are worthy of being a Young Master, to be able to work for the old army god to speak out for him. After I entered Beijing, I knew that the old army god has lived in seclusion in the bamboo forest and has not cared about world affairs for a long time!"

"Okay, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, no matter how you learn from Gao Yang!"

Su Yuanshang laughed and cursed at first, and then he was also amazed, "It's a fate, a fate! You are really willing to help!"

This is the biggest trump card he deduced before Xia Jingyun was imprisoned, but there is a big problem, that is, Jiang Yuhu went to northern Xinjiang, without his persuasion, would the old military god be willing to make a move for such a junior? With a little favoritism, the two of them have no idea.

When the time was approaching the final time limit day by day and the bamboo forest was still silent, they had already given up.

But he never expected that Jiang Lao Junshen actually made a move.

To be favored by Jiang Laojun God, many things in the future will be much easier to handle!

Thinking of this, Su Yuanshang couldn't help laughing.

Following his sound, Lu Yi and Chen Fugui looked at each other and smiled.

He is clearly in a dark room, but it seems that there is already great light in front of him.
-
In the dark prison, without seeing the sun, Xia Jingyun could only calculate an approximate time based on the time when the jailer delivered the food and the burning speed of the wick.

This feeling of being stripped of the sense of time will make people uncomfortable, and this is obviously one of the deliberate designs of this highest-level prison on the Black Ice Platform.

Today, Xia Jingyun didn't read a book, but stared intently at the wick of the oil lamp on the table.

Looking at the degree of burning of the wick, he knew that two hours had passed since he got up in the morning to light the lamp, and he didn't know if their progress was going well or whether it would be effective.

He sat in prison for more than ten days without being able to communicate with the outside world, so that this was almost the most powerless time since he came here.

There are only three days left in Chunwei, if there is no turning point, is it really going to be missed?

Relying on his own intelligence and the wisdom of the predecessors all the way, it went smoothly, so if something happened, it would be a big one?
What should I do if I really miss Chunwei?

Xia Jingyun rubbed his hands, inevitably feeling a little hesitant and entangled.

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.

Xia Jingyun was startled at first, but then overjoyed.

This is not the time for interrogation, nor is it the time for food delivery, nor is it the time for visits on weekdays!
He forcibly restrained his expression, and stared blankly at the prison door, the figure of Xuanhu in black appeared.

"you can go now."

Xia Jingyun got up calmly, packed up his books, and walked out of the cell door without asking why.

Then he stood still and saluted Xuanhu, "Thank you."

Xuanhu remained expressionless, "I have never taken care of you."

"I will remember."

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, turned around and walked out slowly.

The light gradually brightened. He squinted his eyes slightly. When he reached the gate, he stepped out and closed his eyes knowingly.

After his eyes gradually adapted to the strong light, he opened them slowly, and saw a beautiful figure standing opposite him, smiling with tears in the corners of his eyes.

He smiled and opened his hands, and a bird fled into the forest.

With warm fragrance and warm jade in his arms, he raised his head, looked at the long-lost blue sky and white clouds, took a deep breath of air greedily, and then laughed happily.
