The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

After staying in Wuhua Palace for half a day, Bai Lian was going back to his residence.She is not in the mood to play, Ye Xinxin pouted and said: "Recently, things are weird in the palace. The concubines and sisters are very gloomy, especially the concubine De. Now even the sister Wangfei is absent-minded. I think I should go back to the country of Lu .”

Concubine De is Qiumu's aunt, she must be worried about him.Thinking about how pitiful Concubine De is, her father just passed away, and this kind of thing happened to Qiu Mu again.It is also impossible to intercede with Duanmu Canglan. Chen Min did not confess that Qiuxuan's rebellion was also instigated by the former left general Xiao Long, so the emperor would naturally be angry with Xiao Long's son and would not let him go with kindness. .

Bai Lian was even more anxious. He left Wuhua Palace and walked back. Not far away, a guard came out from the forest, bowed and said, "Princess, Lord Lu is here to invite you."

Bai Li'an was overjoyed, he didn't expect that Lu Gushan would handle things seriously.Follow the guard to choose a remote place, and at this time the rain is heavy again, which just happens to help cover his tracks.

Soon, they arrived at the side courtyard of the Criminal Ministry, and Lu Gushan was standing at the door.He took Bai Lian into a hut where the clothes of the guards were placed. [

"This afternoon, the lower official is on duty. As usual, the prison is inspected. The princess will go in behind the lower official. The guards in the prison are guarded by an army of guards. They don't like to talk on weekdays. As long as the princess goes in properly , they won't meddle in their own business."

Bai Lian nodded and said with a smile: "Master Lu is very organized, he is really a malleable talent."

Lu Gushan smiled, walked out of the hut and closed the door, Bai Lian changed the guard's clothes, folded her own clothes on the tray, and then she went out.

Passing through the hall of the Ministry of Justice is a large courtyard. There are two gates on the left and right of the courtyard. When they walked into the circular arch on the right, there was a bluestone road that only allowed three people to enter side by side. The walls on both sides of the road were high.Standing in the middle of the road and looking up at the sky, the sky is also divided by the wall, leaving only a long road.

It is such a road, two or three steps apart from the wall, there are guards standing in a staggered manner, and until the end, there is another arch.

Enter, it is a prison.

In the sky prison, the blue walls surround the large cell. There is an open space between the gate and the arch. There are guards standing on the third floor and the third floor outside. A general on duty came to salute. Lu Gushan nodded to him , went straight into it.Bai Lian followed, but no one questioned him.

Entering the dungeon, you will face a cold and hazy feeling, coupled with humidity, and a musty smell.

The bluestone roads criss-cross in the sky prison, with cells on both sides.Among the prisoners locked inside, some groaned, some cried, and some stared blankly at Bai Lian passing by as if they had lost their souls.After turning a few turns, I came to a row of cells against the wall. Unlike the others, this row of cells was a water cell.

Walking to one of them, Lu Gushan stopped, and Bai Lian also stopped in his tracks. Following his fingers, he looked at a person with only his head exposed on the muddy water inside.

Scattered strands of hair floated and mixed with the dirt on the water.Because the water quality was turbid, it was impossible to see the body underwater at all, and a foul smell came over his face, and Bai Lian frowned tightly.

She couldn't see who this person was, squatting by the fence, she called out tearfully, "Lord Qiu?"

He seemed to be dead at first, but when he heard Bailian's voice, his body visibly trembled, causing ripples on the calm water.

Those originally beautiful eyes opened, and all he saw was bright red bloodshot eyes. Although the person in front of him was dressed as a guard, what he saw was still that beautiful and ethereal woman who seemed to be a fairy.So he smiled, probably because the smile touched the wound, and he quickly retracted it.

Bai Lian covered his mouth, tears streaming down because of heartache.

"Princess..." Qiu Xuan called her weakly, wanting to go there, but couldn't move.

Bai Lian turned his head and stared at Lu Gushan: "Didn't he suffer a severe punishment? Why was he soaked in the water? Do you want him to die?"

There was no sympathy on Lu Gushan's face. He had seen this kind of thing too much and was used to it.

"It won't be soaking forever. This is the punishment he has to suffer every day. After a certain time, he will be sent back to his cell." [

"How can his wound heal like this? He will die if soaked in such filthy water. Quickly open the door and send him back to the cell."

Lu Gushan sighed: "Princess, the lower officials can do anything, this is the rule of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Princess..." Qiu Xuan called her again, and then Bai Lian withdrew his gaze, squinting at Qiu Xuan inside.Thinking about the handsome man like the little girl in the past, and then looking at the head that is neither human nor ghost, her heart seemed to be stabbed fiercely with a knife, and the blood that flowed out stained every part of her body. place.

"Master Qiu, what do you want to say, I'll listen here."

"Mu'er..."

Baili felt relieved, feeling the urge to cry loudly.But she couldn't, she wiped away the tears on her face, and smiled at Qiu Xuan: "He's fine, he's only three years old, the emperor won't make things difficult for him."

Qiu Xuan nodded, and Bai Lian's smile remained the same: "You will be fine, this is just God's test for you, so you must persevere, and it will be fine when you pass."

Qiu Xuan tried to raise his eyes to look at Bai Li'an, and his mouth seemed to be smiling again, but very lightly: "Princess... believe me?"

Clutching the cold iron railing tightly, Bai Lian said every word: "As long as Mr. Qiu says he hasn't done it, I will believe you!"

Now Bai Lian could see clearly that Qiu Xuan was smiling, although it was faint, but he was really smiling, and the pair of cute canine teeth were faintly exposed.Her nose was sore for a while, but she kept the tears from falling.

"Back then... the great general was imprisoned... imprisoned in this sky prison...all thoughts were lost...but he still told me...to be loyal to the Snow Country...to assist His Majesty...Your Majesty...is Ming Jun..."

He couldn't say anything anymore, he kept panting, Bai Lian nodded, trying to suppress the choking, and said to Qiu Xuan with a smile: "I know, I understand, Mr. Qiu is innocent, Mr. Qiu is innocent. A good man who is loyal to the king and patriotic."

Qiu Xuan nodded.But he looked at Bai Lian's eyes, as if he wanted to say something.Before Bai Lian had time to see clearly, Lu Gushan urged from the side: "Princess, we should go."

Bai Lian stood up and looked deeply at Qiu Xuan: "As long as I can do it, I will save you."

Qiu Xuan shook his head, was the look of disappointment on his face?He doesn't believe that she can do it, right, at this point, who can help him?Bai Lian couldn't bear to look at him anymore, and turned away.As we walked, tears fell.She didn't stop suddenly until she left the row of cells.

Turning his head, there are crystal clear teardrops hanging on his snow-white cheeks, like pure white crystals, which are even more dazzling in this dark prison cell.

Lu Gushan frowned slightly, and Bai Lian said firmly, "I still want to see Qiumu."

"The time has passed, and the guards guarding the dungeon will become suspicious."

But Bai Lian didn't back down in the slightest: "Just meet, it won't take much time. Master Lu, I'm not discussing with you."
