The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor
Chapter 161 The Prince Consort's Choice
It just so happened that the prince consort's younger brother, Li Qingxin, was still imprisoned in the Yunzhou prison.
I just don't know if the prince consort is willing to betray the princess for his brother...
Shen Leyan came to the imperial study and wanted to ask about the progress on Emperor Yong'an's side.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yong'an was also worried about the matter of his son-in-law at this moment. He had a cold face and did not speak a word for the whole afternoon.
Bao Shun, who was guarding outside the imperial study, was also particularly happy because of Shen Leyan's arrival.
"You're here, my lady! How wonderful!"
Phew, they are finally saved!
Shen Leyan was very curious about Bao Shun's attitude of finally being able to breathe a sigh of relief, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Is Your Majesty in a bad mood today?"
"That's right, the Emperor hasn't spoken much this afternoon..."
His cold face made him feel that the air was filled with coldness, and he had to breathe cautiously.
The servants serving in the entire imperial study really didn't dare to breathe today, for fear of displeasing the emperor.
Fortunately, the Queen has arrived, and now they can finally breathe fresh air with peace of mind.
Everyone looked at Shen Leyan with eyes full of admiration. The Queen must have come to save them, the fairies!
It is simply a living Bodhisattva!
Although Shen Leyan could not hear the inner voices of the palace maids and eunuchs, she could tell from their expressions how bad Emperor Yong'an's mood was today.
He quickly asked, "Your Majesty, what is the reason for your being so upset?"
"It seems that the Emperor sent someone to persuade the Princess's consort, but he refused to budge."
"Even...even to the point where I have no desire to live anymore..."
"No matter how much we threatened or lured him, he didn't react at all. It was as if he had lost his soul."
"Is he really that stubborn?"
"Yes! Your Majesty is worried about not being able to find a solution and is having a headache!"
Shen Leyan frowned slightly, wondering in her heart whether the method she thought of was feasible.
She knew that although this prince consort looked weak, he was actually extremely stubborn.
Although he was disheartened by the hurt he suffered from the eldest princess, he still didn't want to do anything to let her down.
At this time, Emperor Yong'an in the room seemed to have faintly heard Shen Leyan's voice, and asked uncertainly, "Is Yan'er here?"
Shen Leyan hurried in upon hearing this, "How did His Majesty know I was coming?"
"Of course it's the telepathy between us." Emperor Yong'an said as he gently took her into his arms.
As long as he held her in his arms, he felt particularly at peace, as if all the restlessness in his heart had been swept away.
Shen Leyan said shyly: "Your Majesty clearly heard what I said."
"No, I just seemed to hear it vaguely. At that time, I thought I had misheard it."
"If I really knew Yan'er was coming, wouldn't I come out to pick you up right away?"
When Shen Leyan heard this, it seemed to be true, so she had to reluctantly believe his telepathy.
Shen Leyan raised her head from Emperor Yong'an's arms and whispered, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the matter of your son-in-law?"
Emperor Yong'an nodded, "You know everything?"
"But now that you're here, I feel much better."
"After all, this man and the eldest princess have been married for many years, so it's normal for him not to speak."
Emperor Yong'an had long anticipated that Li Qingcheng would not be so easy to deal with, but his desperate look still gave Emperor Yong'an a headache.
"Your Majesty, I have thought of a way, but I don't know if it is feasible."
Emperor Yong'an's eyes lit up, "Oh? Yan'er, just tell me what you want!"
"I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers Li Qingxin, who was imprisoned in Yunzhou?"
"He is the younger brother of the consort Li Qingcheng. I wonder if he will completely disregard his brother's life or death."
"Your Majesty once asked the Yunzhou prefect to reform himself. I wonder if you would be willing to give the Li family another chance to redeem themselves for their crimes and make meritorious contributions?"
"Although Li Qingxin's crimes are indeed extremely heinous and punishable by death, he certainly did so with the guidance of others."
As for this "other person", they all knew each other very well.
Otherwise, given the Li family's current situation, there would be no need to take such a big risk and do such a life-threatening thing.
And there must be other people in the court involved, secretly withdrawing money.
If we can find out who is behind this and catch all these corrupt officials in one fell swoop, it will be a great achievement.
After hearing this, Emperor Yong'an pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I think Yan'er's plan is very good."
"I will give the order right away to have his brother secretly brought to the capital."
"I believe Li Qingcheng will not remain indifferent when he sees his own brother."
Shen Leyan smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is wise. And in order to survive, Li Qingxin will definitely ask the Prince Consort to save him."
"Given the previous example, perhaps the Li family will follow the prefect's example and make meritorious contributions while serving their sentence."
"Your Majesty can then consider pardoning his death and giving him a chance to reform."
After hearing this, Emperor Yong'an's brows relaxed completely, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. "Yan'er, this plan is brilliant!"
Bao Shun, who was standing at the door, heard the emperor's sudden laughter from inside, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Shen Leyan.
It turns out that the Queen has a solution!
Emperor Yong'an immediately sent an edict to the new prefect of Yunzhou, ordering him to inform Li Qingxin of the matter.
In the Yunzhou prison, after Li Qingxin learned the news, a hint of surprise and hesitation flashed in his eyes.
But in order to save his own life, he quickly put his hesitation aside.
Why does he care so much?
Your own life is the most important!
Where there is life, there is hope.
Although he hated Emperor Yong'an for killing his beloved son, he understood that it was his own fault.
If he hadn't spoiled Li Lian so much, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out like this...
He had been thinking a lot in prison during this period. From initially resenting others, he gradually began to reflect on himself. He really regretted his decision...
Now he has a chance to reform himself, so of course he must seize it!
Soon he came to the capital from the Yunzhou prison.
In the dark room, the two brothers met each other and were extremely shocked and surprised.
Li Qingxin was shocked to see his brother's haggard appearance, and the prince consort's eyes were red when he saw his brother was safe and sound.
Li Qingxin told his brother the whole story and begged him to save his life and redeem himself with him.
Prince Consort Li Qingcheng was silent for a long time, his heart full of confusion.
Although he hated the eldest princess's ruthlessness, they were husband and wife after all, and they had a daughter, so he never thought of betraying her.
But what about his brother, whose blood is thicker than water?
Before his father passed away, he repeatedly told the two brothers to support each other...
