After the failed assassination of the powerful minister

Inside the Shangjing dungeon, the eldest princess sat on the straw in her spare time, with the food sent by the jailer placed in front of her.

They were all detailed, presumably someone had taken care of them, and she was full of luxury sitting in the prison, as if she was still sitting in the palace, looking contented.

Not far from her, a prisoner was being interrogated, and the whip was whipped on his body, making a chilling sound.Standing in front of Wei Changle, Cen Xian looked down at the eldest princess who was listening to the wailing sound, seeing the blood splashing and still eating without changing her face, and said, "I didn't expect the princess to be so courageous, Cen admires it."

"Of course I have nothing to be afraid of." Wei Changle put down his rice bowl, with no trace of meat on his lips, "You don't dare to treat Ben Gong like this."

This is true, the eldest princess is Tianhuang Guihua, behind her is the queen mother, Cao Yong, and the entire royal family. Except for the emperor, most people would not dare to use torture to interrogate her.

"The prince broke the law and the common people..." Wei Changle smiled with squinted eyes, "It's just a joke to deceive the common people. In this world, whoever has the biggest fist will be justified."

"The princess is right." Cen Xian lowered his head and said to Wei Changle, "But in the past ten years, has the princess felt any guilt?"

"King Zhao used to love the princess so much, Princess Zhao regarded you as a sister," Cen Xian said softly, "When the princess sent the armor to King Zhao, what was she thinking?"

Wei Changle tapped his finger: "I told you, I don't know that there are armors in that box of gold and silver."

"This palace is innocent," Wei Changle smiled, "the world can learn from it."

Cen Xian: "..."

He hadn't seen such a hard-talking person for a long time, mainly because this person was still a real relative of the emperor, and without the Queen Mother's order, he would use lynching to attack the eldest princess, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had plenty of reasons to refer to him.

Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate's attendance at Cen Xian varies from one hundred to fifty throughout the year, the current situation does not allow Cen Xian to make any mistakes. Once he is caught, it will be less of a punishment than a loss of power.

Cen Xian waved someone to bring Ling Yun up.

The young man's hands and feet were chained, his hair was messy, and he turned his head to look at the eldest princess in the prison.

"Princess Tianhuang, I don't dare to use a knife on you." Cen Xian stood up indifferently, "But it is more than enough to interrogate a guard."

Wei Changle's eyelids moved slightly.

The prisoner who was interrogated just now was dragged down by two jailers. He was already out of shape, with blood from his mouth and nose, ragged clothes, festering flesh and scars from a branding iron were shocking.

The blood trail was long.

Then Ling Yun was forcibly tied to the cross.

Cen Xian's voice was gentle: "Princess, you probably haven't seen Jin Yiwei carry out the execution."

"Today, the official will open the eyes of the princess."

The barbed hook that was soaked in chili water hit Ling Yun hard.

Wei Changle's eyelids twitched.

Cen Xian kindly introduced from the side: "Jinyiwei Prison has [-] tortures, thanks to the princess, I have suffered them all back then."

"I don't know if your bodyguard can last as long as I do," Cen Xian said with his eyes slightly bent, still very gentle, "It should be possible, I was still a child back then, and this bodyguard is already A grown-up with deep inner strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a smell of burnt meat.

Cannonball.

The person on the rack didn't say a word, and looked at Wei Changle without blinking, but the prison was too dark, and neither of them could see the look in each other's eyes.

Will she panic?Will she feel a little sad?Ling Yun thought.

On the second day, the executioners had changed to the third batch, and Wei Changle still didn't respond. Cen Xian, who had rested for a round, was in better spirits. He turned his head to look at the people on the rack, and sighed: "This The official thought that the princess had some sympathy for him, but it seems that this official was wrong."

He spoke loudly, seemingly speaking to Wei Changle, but actually speaking to Ling Yun on the torture rack.

Wei Changle giggled twice: "A famous conductor can misunderstand people."

Cen Xian lowered his eyes and followed Wei Changle with a smile, then looked at the person on the torture rack, and saw a young man with disheveled hair and no face, with a stream of water streaming down his cheek.

"Princess, he is crying."

As soon as the words came out, Wei Changle suddenly stopped laughing.

Cen Xian also stopped laughing, lowered his head and whispered to Wei Changle, "I feel sorry for him."

"If Master Jingxin is here, I don't know how he would feel."

"Come on!" Cen Xian called, "Continue."

The sound of whipping continued, and the people on the rack remained silent. Cen Xian quickly walked out of the torture room, and Jiang Jinyue was waiting outside. When he saw him coming out, he couldn't help but frowned: "You haven't said anything yet?"

"I thought scheming would be of some use to her," Jiang Jinyue sighed, "I didn't expect her heart to be so cold."

"Come back in the evening," Cen Xian squeezed the space between his brows, and asked Zhang Jiucheng, "How is Shuo Mo's condition?"

"An Guozheng led troops first, and the Zhili River destroyed the Turkic fortifications," Zhang Jiucheng said. "The problem of Yuancheng's water source was solved, but the price was high. Anguozheng lost more than half of the 3000 men and horses. The Turks seemed to know what they were doing... ..."

Cen Xian shook his hand.

Could it be that there are spies in the army?

Just as he was thinking, Xiao Liu ran towards them with a letter in his hand, and was even more excited to see Cen Xian, "Master! Mr. Shuo has sent a letter!"

Cen Xian suddenly turned his head, looked at Xiao Liu in the distance, and ran over in a hurry, Jiang Jinyue let out a "hey", a little bit like laughing, and then became sour again, why didn't Jiang Wufu write to him? letter?

The envelope was very thin, Cen Xian opened the envelope, and pulled out a piece of paper from inside. A few words were written on the paper, and a white flower was sandwiched between it.

The petals of the white flowers are small and dense, and the stamens are golden, which is very cute.

"Recently, when I was marching, I was very happy to see the nameless little peanut born in the field."

"The flowers on Moshang are blooming, but they can't return. I regret that I'm not at your side, and I have nothing to complain about, so I fold flowers and give them to you. I hope you don't blame me."

"Everything else is fine. I miss you and miss you. May you not worry about me."

"Everything is fine with me, I wish you the same."

There is also a small figure on a horse at the bottom.

Cen Xian's eyes were soft, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Jiang Jinyue stretched his neck to glance at the letter, and said sourly, "Hey, who did you learn this polite words from?"

Cen Xian folded the letter carefully, put it back into the envelope together with the little white flower, and said slowly: "Maybe I learned it from your Jiang Wufu, Yu Ming, have you received his letter?"

Jiang Jinyue: "..."

Is this showing off?This is showing off!

Youxin is amazing!Jiang Jinyue roared inwardly, and secretly poked that he didn't believe it? !When he gets back, he will write to Jiang Yuan and ask him to send eight or ten letters back to slap Cen Xian in the face! !

Cen Xian put the letter in his wide sleeve and put it away, and walked towards the palace, Xiao Liu and Zhang Jiucheng dragged Jiang Jinyue who was sulking, and the group walked away.

In the palace, the queen mother finally waited for Cen Xian to enter the palace.

Cen Xian walked into the meeting hall, saw Cao Yong and Wei Chen were there, and after bowing to the Queen Mother, he also bowed to Wei Chen and Cao Yong.

"I have met Master Cao, King Jing."

Cao Yong snorted fiercely: "The commander is really a great official! Even the eldest princess dares to be imprisoned!"

"It's not a day or two for me to be bold," Cen Xian said softly, "Master Cao only found out now, isn't it too late?"

Wei Chen almost couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

The Commander was the one who dared to point the sword at the late emperor back then, so he was naturally more courageous than the official authority.

The queen mother above patted the table: "Wuyou is a girl, how can she be imprisoned in the filthy place of the imperial prison! Cen Qing, you are really reckless, the eldest princess..."

"The prince's crime is the same as that of the common people," Cen Xian said calmly, "I just enforce the law impartially, not to mention I have a sense of propriety. For the sake of my life, I dare not hurt the eldest princess at all. Please rest assured, Empress Dowager."

The queen mother is angry.

Isn't this clearly saying that the queen mother and Cao Yong are bullying others? !

Just at that time, the eunuch came to report that Jinyiwei General Banner Shangzhi had something important to see the commander.

Wei Chen was naturally on Cen Xian's side, and said after hearing the words: "Empress Dowager, Master Cao, I still have important matters. If I just ask the commander to come over and say these unimportant things, I will go back first."

After finishing speaking, he was about to go out when the Queen Mother's voice sounded again, asking Cen Xian, "When will the eldest princess be released!"

She and Cao Yong are also anxious, Wei Changle is their backbone, and the people in the dark pavilion only listen to Wei Changle's words, leaving Wei Changle, especially the Queen Mother, are almost blind!

Cen Xian bowed and said, "I will naturally send the princess back after finishing my work."

Seeing Cen Xian coming out, Shang Zhi immediately went up to meet him, whispering in Cen Xian's ear, "The eldest princess said she wants to recruit."

"Recruitment?" Cen Xian was a little surprised.

"But I only said that I will wait for you to come back," Shang Zhi said softly, "She said that she wants you to let Ling Yun go, and only after you let her go, will she seriously talk to Master about what happened back then."

It is not difficult to release people, Cen Xian nodded in agreement, and then rushed to the prison.

But Shang Zhi took a step ahead and took the doctor to the prison—he was afraid that Ling Yun would die, and his success would fall short.

The young man was put down from the torture rack, and the eldest princess looked at Ling Yun who had no good flesh on his body, and said in a commanding tone: "Come here."

Everyone was shocked to see Ling Yun, whose limbs were bloody and bloody, crawled over with all his strength.

Cen Xian, who was going down the steps, paused.

Ling Yun's voice was weak: "You...don't want me?"

"You can guess what I'm thinking," Wei Changle said calmly, "Get out of this door, and I will be merciful this time."

"The sky is high and the sea is wide, it doesn't matter where you go, don't go back to Ben Gong."

"You..." Ling Yun whimpered, "Can you..."

"No," Wei Changle refused without even listening to Ling Yun's words, "Get out, I don't need you anymore."

Ling Yun remained silent for a moment, then kowtowed to Wei Changle, "Subordinate...obey."

After speaking, he struggled to stand up, stood up and took two steps, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

Shang Zhi greeted several people and carried him out.

Cen Xian passed him and stood in front of Wei Changle, "I let you go according to what His Highness said. Does Your Highness have anything to say?"

"The victimization of King Zhao back then was indeed done by the late emperor. To be convicted in the future, I will personally identify my elder brother for murdering his siblings," Wei Changle said, "What I will say next will be a testimony."
