Jiang Rao's eyes flickered, "Why is he here?"

But it was a beat later, before remembered the ridicule in Yun Qiniang's words.

She blushed, shrank her neck back, sank into the cape, and shook her head gently, "It's my little friend, I... I don't like him."

Do not dare to lend her ten courage.

Although she tried her best to help him, but looking at him, she occasionally remembered his moody, violent and cruel appearance in the future. When she was with him, she always felt a little timid and did not dare to get too close to him.

But if Jiang Rao directly refuted and changed it, it was a bit slow. Even if he didn't mean it, he seemed to respond to Yun Qiniang's words first, and then realized that he was in a hurry and wanted to explain it.

In addition, she has been good-natured since she was a child, and her voice has always been softer, which is more like that.

Yun Qiniang looked at the little girl in front of her, misunderstood that she was shy, and couldn't help laughing.

On the opposite side of the tall building with red tiles, the eaves are covered with thick and fluffy snow.

Rong Ting stood under the red eaves and white snow.

A commoner, but born with extravagance and dazzling temperament.

Surrounded by bustling people, people who heard that someone was caught and rushed to watch the fun.

In the crowded crowd, it was inevitable to be pushed to the ground, and sometimes it was just the corner of his clothes, Rong Ting's eyes were full of disgust, but after seeing Jiang Rao across the street, his eyes suddenly became quiet.

She was wearing a rabbit velvet snow cap and a red fur cloak. The garnet satin surface was flamboyant, and the hat was covered with white fluffy rabbit fur. Her small face was no bigger than a palm.

When he saw her, he naturally saw Yun Qiniang next to her.

I also saw the set of beaded and inlaid jewels that Yun Qiniang was holding in her arms, and at a glance, knew that the whole set of head and face was expensive.

There was an answer to the point that couldn't figure out in mind.

Rong Ting's heart was tossing and turning for an inexplicable feeling, and the fingers on the wheelchair arm rest were tightly wrapped, and the throat was a little dumb.

He is nothing but a powerless and powerless prince, and anyone who sees him will be the first to sacrifice in the future palace battle, a worthless chess piece.

But she didn't even know his true identity, just because she wanted to make up for him and was single-mindedly good to him.

...

Seeing that Rong Ting had been looking at her, Jiang Rao said goodbye to Yun Qiniang, and hurriedly ran to him, expressing her doubts, "Why are you here?"

There was some dissatisfaction in her eyes, "If you don't stay home and take care of your injury, you keep running out. When will your leg injury heal?"

Maybe it was because he saw his fists clenched tightly and mistakenly thought that his leg was in pain. Jiang Rao was impatient and spoke faster. It sounded a bit blaming, just like she usually trains her brother. That way.

Rong Ting raised his eyes and looked at her anxious expression, a strange warmth enveloped his heart.

In the past, when he was injured, all he could hear was the ridicule of his elder brothers and emperors calling him trash.

He controlled the wheelchair, moved closer to her, and said in a low voice, "I heard that Wang Zhou was caught, come out and have a look."

Jiang Rao couldn't help but raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Although she had already seen Wang Zhou's miserable appearance when she was captured, she was still very happy when she mentioned Wang Zhou's capture again.

On weekdays, when she reads the book, the last thing she likes to see is that the bad guys have always been more comfortable than the good guys.

Evil has evil retribution, and this is happy.

She stood in the sun, Rong Ting squinted in the dazzling light, watching the sun fall on the corners of her smiling brows, she felt a little dazed.

After Jiang Rao was overjoyed, she began to worry about another matter, "But if he is caught, there will be no servants by your side."

His leg injury obviously needs someone to take care of him.

Rong Ting lowered his head and said in a lonely voice, "I'm used to being alone."

Jiang Rao thought for a while, and thought it was the same. Even if Wang Zhou was here, he was just doing bad things, and he couldn't really fulfill his duty as a servant.

She was thinking about how to speak, and told the boy to put a servant of her family next to him, so that he would not arouse his suspicion and jealousy, but she saw him lowered his eyes and whispered: "If you are worried, can you come more often? accompany me?"

When he lowered his eyes, the eyelashes were thick, casting a shadow on the cold white Shengxue's skin.

Jiang Rao didn't know if it was her delusion, but she actually thought that he looked a little... well-behaved.

The tone of voice was also soft like she had never heard before, and it didn't imply pleading, as if it would cause trouble to her, it was okay to be rejected by her, but it was okay because of it, it reminded her of the day he fell at almost the same time. On the ground, endured the scene of sweating, but not screaming in pain.

He had to be so inconvenient that he would take the initiative to ask her.

After You Qi finished speaking, he raised his eyes a little, a handsome, good-looking boy, Jiang Rao had never seen him before, but no one could compare to him, and there was nothing in the narrow and long phoenix eyes that he lifted up. Strong, but full of humble prayers, his eyes are like fragile glass, fragile and beautiful, "Once or twice, even if you don't come..."

The words were retreating step by step, but the demeanor poked into her soft heart, making her heart soft.

"I'll accompany you often." Jiang Rao blurted out, and her tone unconsciously resembled the way she usually coaxes her younger brother as an elder sister, "More than once."

In Rong Ting's indifferent and dark eyes, a little light lit up, he lowered his head, and his thin lips bent slightly unconsciously.

Soon he realized something, and he gathered the smile on his face and turned his head away, feeling a little strange.

Even though she was in front of him, he started to look forward to the next meeting.

It's just that she agreed to accompany him, and a sense of joy that made him feel unfamiliar and unfamiliar rose in his heart.

...

The people Qin Lian sent to escort Wang Zhou went all the way to Jinling and escorted him to the punishment department.

In the courtroom

Wang Zhou was kneeling on the ground with his hands bound by ropes, and behind him were two burly yamen in dark official uniforms, who kept staring at his various movements for a moment.

Wang Zhou knelt in front of the hall, fighting with each other, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

If he was in Yecheng, he could find a way to ask his family to bribe the officials who tried the case.

But this was in Jinling, the imperial capital, and his connections in that small place were useless, so he could only be anxious.

He had been trying to find a way to escape all the way, but he couldn't succeed. He was very surprised. When he was just serving Rong Ting, the person in charge who found him clearly looked like he didn't care whether Rong Ting was dead or alive. , he didn't even have a word of exhortation. When he asked about Rong Ting's family background, he said that Rong Ting was just an unloved and unprotected son.

But looking at the pomp today, it was clear that someone wanted to support Rong Ting!

When they arrived in the interrogation hall, the figure of the trial officer appeared, and some yamen shouted: The fourth prince is here!

The anxiety on Wang Zhou's face only deepened.

Who the hell is Rong Ting, and his case is actually being tried by the fourth prince?

The Fourth Prince was twenty-seven years old, but his face was a little mature. He glanced at Wang Zhou, "Is this the servant who took care of my Nine Emperor Brothers during this year?"

Nine, the emperor... brother?

Wang Zhou was dumbfounded.

All his confusion came to light, but it was silenced as if someone had strangled his neck.

Originally, he only thought that Rong Ting was only a concubine in the Hou's mansion at most. Who would have guessed that he was the emperor's child?

What he has been bullying all the time is a person who may become emperor in the future?

If Rong Ting told him this news, he would definitely not believe it. A crippled person who had no one to care about, in exchange for his beautiful dream of being a relative of the royal family? But today, the facts were thrown directly in front of him.

Wang Zhou panicked and hurriedly wanted to explain.

In the hall, the judgment given to him by the fourth prince also ended at this time.

"Wang Zhou, Yecheng, deceived the master, pocketing 22 taels of silver every month. In just one year, more than 200 taels, he committed a serious crime, and he was handed 30 sticks and banished to the border."

The book office raised a pen and recorded it.

Wang Zhou howled: "My lord, my lord! It's not enough!"

Fifty sticks? Banish the frontier?

In the borderlands where there is no burial, the bones of the corpse will be eaten by wild beasts, this trial wants his life!

He shouted: "Master Qin only sends 16 taels of silver every month, not enough for 20 taels!"

When the fourth prince heard this, he smiled.

Apparently he knew what was going on.

Wang Zhou was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that things would turn for the better, and shouted: "It must be the queen, who deducted my master's monthly money!"

Wang Zhou was bad to the core, but he wasn't too stupid.

Rong Ting was not liked by the mistress, and he was talking about the empress!

It's a pity that Wang Zhou didn't know that the biological mother of the four princes and the queen were from the same line of Xu family, and the fourth princes always stood by the queen.

It was precisely because Empress Jiahe knew that Qin Lian had written a letter to the emperor, fearing that Emperor Zhaowu would care about the case, so the fourth prince came to the trial immediately and let the case sink to the bottom of the sea as quickly as possible, and did not want to give Emperor Zhaowu a chance to know.

Wang Zhou was exiled to the border, which was the outcome that they had negotiated for a long time.

Do not leave a living mouth, in order to ensure foolproof.

The fourth prince looked at Wang Zhou's stubborn resistance, and there was a hint of ridicule and ridicule in his eyes, "The queen's mother is in the world, how can you be greedy for those four taels of silver. You dare to talk about a country's only mother, and the crime will be added one class. Add ten to the cane, and you will be exiled immediately!"

He waved his hand and motioned for the yamen to take Wang Zhou down for execution.

Wang Zhou was dragged down by the yamen while covering his mouth.

There was a commotion outside.

Emperor Zhaowu in a bright yellow robe appeared in the hall.

Just as everyone was kowtowing and kneeling, Wang Zhou immediately tried his best to break free from the servants. He rushed over and knelt in front of Emperor Zhaowu, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you want to avenge the grass-roots!"
