In the past few days, rumors about the prince's licentiousness have been circulating in the court, and the love affair with Lu Qiuling in the prison is even more vivid.

Xu Yuanqing listened to Li Yiming's cheerful description, and sipped tea leisurely, taking it as a joke, as if it was not his fault.

The image of a talented woman that Lu Qiuling painstakingly created collapsed, and she broke down and made a fuss in the prison, and no one took care of her.

Whatever you do, you will end up harming yourself.

Xu Yuanqing just let her suffer the consequences.

She wanted to be the most honorable woman in the world, so she used love poison on the lustful Shen Qiwen, played him in her hands, and did many outrageous things with the hands of the prince.

Letting her die in her own calculations would not be in vain for her years of painstaking efforts.

Li Yiming said that his mouth was dry, he turned around and lay down neatly on the chair, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, raised his hand to fan the wind, and saw that the person who was still wearing a cloak to bask in the sun was very envious, "Master ChenSend someone to send a letter, but Lu Qiuling still pleads not guilty."

Xu Yuanqing had expected that Duke Huai would take the blame for the crime in the hall, and he would definitely confess all the guilt for Lu Qiuling when he went to prison. She just had to insist that she knew nothing, and that the Ministry of Criminal Justice had no evidence to convict her, and she would be released sooner or later.she.

The sun is shining today, but within a few days the pear blossoms are competing to bloom, the red pistils and white petals are too beautiful to behold.

He looked up at the sunlight scattered by the flowers and fell on the ground, his eyes were clear, and he tapped the stone table lightly with his fingers, and the petals around him moved slightly with his fingertips.

"Then not guilty."

As soon as the words fell, Li Yiming, who was drinking tea, choked up. His face was shocked. He planned to let her stay in the cell for only a few days after so long.The sly look flashed past, and he was relieved.

He moved the teacup away, leaned on the table and leaned closer, "What the hell are you thinking?"

"Hey, can we talk now?" Xu Yuanqing pretended to be mysterious, picked up the pear blossoms on the table and looked at them, "I have to forgive others and forgive others. There are not many kind people like me."

"Bah!" Li Yiming rolled his eyes when he saw that his face was not blushing and his heart was not beating when he said such words, "Senior Xu, if you say this, you probably only have a letter from Xiang Changyuan."

Xu Yuanqing scoffed coldly, "Cut."

Li Yiming saw that he heard Xiang Changyuan's name, with a smile on his face, he felt lonely for a moment and then laughed again, "What do you say, Mr. Chang, when will you get the Gu worm?"

"It was originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but Xunniang told me this morning that the old Gu worm is sick, and I have to wait for a few days."

"Okay, let's deal with Duke Huai's matter first, so you can feel more at ease."

Li Yiming's stomach growled inappropriately. He recently ran errands and was full and hungry. Only now did he remember that the last meal was the meatloaf he snatched while passing the message to Xunniang.

Xu Yuanqing continued to pick up the plum blossoms on the table, without raising his head, he said, "There is food in the house."

Li Yiming got up and went into the house, there were several plates of pastries on the table, exquisite and small, not made by the kitchen of Xu's mansion, he ate one or two pieces of each plate.

He rested his hands on the table to watch, there were still some half bitten and put them back, he smiled helplessly.

Xu Yuanqing picked up all the pear blossoms that fell on the stone table, and when the spring breeze blew, the white flowers rustled down. He opened his hands to catch them, but the wind blew away the words in his hands.

"My son."

He turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked at Chang Yuan who was running in a hurry, from among thousands of flying white flowers, his eyes were burning and he was full of smiles.

Xiang Changyuan ran straight in front of him and stopped abruptly. He was so close, his hands trembled slightly, he restrained his excitement, and leaned over to look at him. He was the only one reflected in his star-like eyes.

The wind is intertwined with pear blossoms, and there is a faint fragrance in the air, as well as the sandalwood fragrance left by him just now, all kinds of flavors are intertwined, the scenery is beautiful, and the ambiguous atmosphere is scattered everywhere with the wind.

Zuo Yuedao today is sunny and the scenery is beautiful in spring. The pink double-breasted toga and white feather green cloak were specially chosen for him. After a long time of conditioning, his complexion is rosy now, and his gestures are lazy and relaxed, like the most beautiful peach blossom in the courtyard.Beautiful but not kitsch.

Xiang Changyuan has a dashing figure, broad shoulders, thin waist and long legs. He stands out from the crowd, and the black clothes show his handsome appearance.

The two have completely different appearances, but they are both beautiful. They live in the same courtyard, and their affection is charming, and Haruhi really took advantage of it.

Xu Yuanqing was stared at by him tremblingly, and turned away uncomfortably, there were still two hours before he was on duty, and he didn't know why he came so early.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, Xiang Changyuan restrained the unscrupulous love in his eyes, with a smile on his lips, "My lord, do you know what I'm happy about?"

With this unreasonable question, Xu Yuanqing looked up at his clear eyes, smiled helplessly, matched his joy, and pretended to think, "Are you promoted?"

Xiang Changyuan shook his head.

"Could it be that you got rich?"

Xiang Changyuan shook his head again.

Xu Yuanqing saw that he was holding back his impatience, the corners of his mouth raised, and continued to tease him, "It is said that being promoted and getting rich is a happy event in life. If you are so happy, what else can it be?"

Xiang Changyuan raised his hand to support the stone table, his knuckles turned white, he looked at the beauty close at hand, swallowed his saliva, and asked softly, "What comes after getting promoted and getting rich?"

Xu Yuanqing: "..."

Obviously he wanted to be funny, but he dug a hole himself.

Xiang Changyuan deliberately lowered his body to get closer to him. The cool sandalwood scent on his body lingered at the tip of his nose, and he became slightly nervous.

"Get down to business." Xiang Changyuan looked at him flushing, stopped in time, sat sideways, and poured tea from a cup on the plate to relieve the hot breath on his body.

He looked at him sideways, his playful expression was gone, and he asked seriously, "I'm glad that because His Majesty convicted Duke Huai, Lord Xiao asked me to ask the prince what he wanted to do with it."

Emperor Chongming said how to deal with it is up to him, so Huai Guo recognized the crime and asked him after he was detained, it's just...

The tenderness in Xu Yuanqing's eyes disappeared, and he looked at the person who was happier than himself, and was a little dazed, "Xiao Zheng?"

Xiao Zheng is indeed an old fox.

On that day, Xiang Changyuan stood with him in the palace, and all the officials discussed whether the Xiang family was on the same side as him. The Xiang family, who had never participated in party disputes, began to intervene in the battle for the crown prince from Xiang Changyuan.

Hundreds of officials discussed but did not dare to talk nonsense, after all Xiang Changyuan was just a son of a family, and he was a minor official in the Ministry of Punishment, unlike Xiang Changbo and Xiang Changning who held military power, their power could shake their positions.

In the past few days, he has repeatedly urged Xiang Changyuan to avoid Xiang Changyuan's actions in the Ministry of Justice, and not to let him get involved. Xiao Yu'an would rather come personally to deliver the message for his father than bother Xiang Changyuan.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Zhengcai asked Emperor Chongming for instructions, he blatantly used Xiang Changyuan to run errands, which meant too much probing.

Xu Yuanqing's actions in the past few days have been clearly seen by Xiang Changyuan, and this time he also knows what Xiao Zheng means, he has already made up his mind, for him, Xu Yuanqing is always the more important party.

He took a sip of tea, patted Xu Yuanqing's hand, and said softly, "It's okay, I know what he means."

"To the old general..."

"My father has given up the post of Tai Tuo himself, so he just excused his injuries on the battlefield to recuperate, and he has no position in not going to the court and seeing no guests." Xiang Changyuan said slowly, comforting his heart, "My brother said that he is willing to be my teacher.shield."

"Xiang Changyuan." Xu Yuanqing's heart trembled suddenly when he heard the words. In the original book, the Xiang family did not participate in party struggles. He refused to be used by Shen Yuze until his death, but now because he changed his position, how could he be so lucky?"I'm only afraid of you."

"I know." Xiang Changyuan put down the teacup, turned to face him with sincere eyes, "So, I only represent myself, not the position of the Xiang family."

Xu Yuanqing heard what he meant, his expression changed suddenly, he patted the table and growled, "Nonsense!"

Xiang Changyuan stood up, raised his hand to pick off the pear blossoms that fell on his head, his eyes were full of tenderness, "It is a blessing to meet a good man in this world, if you are afraid because of the current situation, how can you be worthy of your heart?"Love."

Xu Yuanqing was about to reprimand him when he asked, "If I and Shizi are in different situations, will Shizi let me go?"

"..." This question stumped Xu Yuanqing, he couldn't imagine for a while, if he was in a different place, then he...

The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he is not a human being. It is a waste of money for a person as sincere as Xiang Changyuan to be deceived by an insidious person like him.

"Huh?" Looking at the hesitant expression in his eyes, Xiang Changyuan was slightly shocked, unbelievable, "Your Majesty?"

"That..." Xu Yuanqing turned away in embarrassment, stood up and stood up, "Let me think about how Duke Huai should deal with it. You can go back and report."

After finishing speaking, he walked into the house in a hurry, his guilty heart was pounding.

Li Yiming leaned on the door frame and witnessed the whole process. When Xu Yuanqing came, he turned around and entered the room. He went straight to the desk. He kindly stretched his neck to look out for him, and motioned to him after seeing Xiang Changyuan leaving in a daze.

He bit the pastry and moved to the table, wondering, "You like Xiang Changchang because he likes you?"

"What are you talking about?" Xu Yuan gave him a blank look, went to the window to look at Chang Chang Yuan, saw him turn around to look at him and dodged, took a break before looking again, and was relieved to see him out of the yard.

"Then why were you hesitating about that question just now?" Li Yiming had a righteous look on his face, without the slightest sense of guilt for eavesdropping on their conversation, and leaned forward leaning forward with his support on the table, like a curious cat.

Xu Yuanqing didn't satisfy his curiosity, and said angrily, "You don't care."

Xiang Changyuan's assumption is not valid at all. If he is dressed as cannon fodder Xiang Sanzi, it is uncertain whether he will help the ailing Xu Shizi.

Whether they will meet again is uncertain.

There are tens of thousands of possibilities for things that haven't happened, how can answer them just by imagining them?

"Xiang Changyuan is really all about you, and you are not the only one." Li Yiming said, pouring Chadu cakes unhurriedly, "But it is also very good, complementing each other can last long."

Xu Yuanqing leaned on the chair and thought, according to what Li Yiming said, how does Xiang Changyuan feel like a love brain.

He shook his head violently, drove away his wild thoughts, and turned his mind to the business, "Where's Ah Yue?"

"It seems that I went to find Xiao Yu'an."

"You take the food on the road, and chase Chang Changyuan to dismiss him. I'm going to the Ministry of Punishment."

Xu Yuanqing stood up with flicking his sleeves after giving orders, but before he lifted his feet, he heard a cry that he hadn't heard for a long time. Tang Jiao rushed in with a look of anger.

"puff!"

Li Yiming was drinking water, seeing that he couldn't help spraying it out, he burst out laughing.

Xu Yuanqing took a closer look and couldn't help laughing.

Why haven't seen him for a long time, Tang Jiao has turned into black charcoal, if it weren't for the white eyes, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to tell that it was someone.

It took Xu Yuanqing a lot of effort to hold back the laughter, clutching the corner of the table in pain, and asked with a trembling voice, "Are you digging coal?"

Tang Jiao jumped angrily, dragged Li Yiming away, slapped his hands on the table, and asked angrily, "Where's Liu Qian!"

Xu Yuanqing wrapped his hands around his face and asked in disbelief, "He did it?"

Tang Jiao had remembered him since he was taught by Liu Qian, and he had been looking for him since he didn't know when. Nine out of ten times he looked for Xu Yuanqing was because of Liu Qian.

At first Liu Qian was annoyed by him in various ways, and even fought to provoke him. Tang Jiao also had something wrong with him, not only avoiding him, but also became more energetic.

As time passed, one would fight and the other would suffer, Liu Qian was used to teasing him, but no matter how mischievous he was, he would not go too far. After all, he belonged to the son of Xu, and if he provoked Tang Jiao, it was Xu Yuanqing who was tormented.

To be able to turn him into a piece of black charcoal, I'm afraid it is impatient.

Tang Jiao's eyes were wide open, and the sound of slapping the table became louder, and the room could only hear his howling of collapse, "Where are people!"

Xu Yuanqing bit her lip and suppressed a smile, "What can I do if he doesn't come out?"

Seeing that Tang Jiao was about to go crazy, Li Yiming hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, "My lord, we haven't seen Liu Qian for a few days, and I want to see him more than you. He's been busy recently, running all over the capital, who knows what he will do?"Where did you go?"

Tang Jiao's anger stopped for a moment, and the whites of his eyes turned to him.

Seeing the effect, Li Yiming hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue, "I guess I went to find Xiao Yu'an, you go and have a look?"

Tang Jiao raised his hand and "wow" the books on the desk to the ground, opened his mouth and roared "Aww", his face was full of white teeth, not to mention how funny he looked.

Li Yiming pinched his thigh to keep from laughing, Xu Yuanqing couldn't bear the pain in his heart.

After trying to send the Black Buddha away, the two looked at each other and laughed wantonly.

The room was full of laughter one after another, and it was filled with laughter after a while.

The two of them could only let go of their suppressed smiles, unaware that there was one more person in the room.

After a long time, Xu Yuanqing raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked up at Liu Qian who was standing by the table, "Why did he offend you?"

Hearing the sound, Li Yiming also stopped laughing and stretched his neck to listen to the gossip.

Liu Qian answered irrelevantly, "That's ink."

Li Yiming: "Tsk, I don't even want to wash up before going out, it looks like I'm crazy."

Xu Yuanqing disagreed, and looked at Liu Qian meaningfully.

Liu Qian changed the subject expressionlessly, "Aren't you going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"Hurry up, you won't be able to catch up." Xu Yuanqing reluctantly let him go, and ordered Li Yiming, who pricked up his ears, "No one can stay in the Criminal Department until I arrive."

"Okay." Li Yiming came back to his senses, picked up two more pastries and took them away.

At the time of You, a carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the Ministry of Punishment, and the petty officials on guard saw that it was the carriage from the Xuanping Hou Mansion and dared not stop it.

"My son." Chen Wenjing received Liu Qian's message first, and came to pick him up in time. Seeing that he looked good, he felt very happy for him, and stepped forward to guide him.

Xu Yuanqing saw that he was going to lead him to Xiaoya, so he said, "Go to the cell."

"Okay." Chen Wenjing answered in silence for a moment, then turned around and led him away in another direction.

The road leading to the cell was winding and winding, Xu Yuanqing looked sideways at him, Chen Wenjing had a dignified face, one could tell he was a member of the public.

He originally thought that he would not help him, but he did not expect that he would do things for him only after asking the purpose. Xu Yuanqing was suspicious of him at first, and asked Liu Qian to check his past, only now did he really believe that he was really helping him.

He thanked in a deep voice, "Thank you for this, sir."

Chen Wenjing nodded slightly, "Don't say anything else, just say that it is Dasheng Jiangshan Sheji, I have no regrets for what I have done."

He is not a foolish and loyal person, Shen Qiwen is not a wise monarch, and is not worthy of the position of crown prince, Lu Qiuling has a deep mind, if she becomes a princess, Shen Qiwen will only be her sword to do evil.

As for Duke Huai, he deserved what he deserved.

Xuan Pinghou is his mentor, the son of his mentor, what he seeks is not to do evil, but to benefit the country and the country. As a subject and disciple, he should do his best to help.

While talking, the two arrived at the prison cell. It was cold and damp, the smell of decay was pungent, and the squeaking sound of the mouse was harsh. He saw Duke Huai from a distance, turned around and said, "Please do me a favor, sir."

Chen Wenjing nodded and left.

The petty official opened the cell door and turned his back to guard, Xu Yuanqing stepped in with his clothes on his hem.

The glorious Duke Huai is now in a dilapidated prison cell, his gaze is like a knife when he sees someone, if it is not for his lack of strength, he is afraid that Xu Yuanqing will be cut into pieces.

Xu Yuanqing stood at arm's length from him, and said in a cold, fearless voice, "Hello Huaiguo Public Security."

Duke Huai looked at him coldly, filled with hatred.

Xu Yuanqing looked indifferent, shouldn't he be the one to hate?

"Does Duke Huai want to save the princess?"

Hearing this, Duke Huaiguo moved, his eyes were red with hatred mixed with horror, and the kindness of a father.

"The princess doesn't seem to want to save you."

Xu Yuanqing murdered his heart, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "She put all the blame on you, the daughter that Huai Guogong pampered, really ruthless."

"It's all my fault, Mr. Xu, let Ling'er go!" Duke Huai trembled all over, with tears in his eyes, and finally showed remorse, "You have any grudge against me, and Ling'er doesn't know anything."

He was haggard, with sunken cheeks, and the once arrogant prince prostrated himself on the ground, clutching the mud with his fingers, wriggling his body and crawling towards the innocent person he poisoned.way of life."

Xu Yuanqing tore off the hem of his clothes, bent down and squatted down. Seeing him like this, he just felt disgusted. He was a coward who could not punish the mistakes of the superiors because of his own personal grievances.

How ridiculous!

"Lu Guogong!" Xu Yuanqing's eyes were dark, and he said every word, "You know your pain today, my parents have suffered thousands of times!"

Because of his personal grievances, the parents he shared with the original owner were worried every day, and whenever he fainted due to the poison, they were heartbroken and distraught.

"Do you think you can be cleared up after you die?" Xu Yuanqing stared at him viciously, the red mole under his eyes glared like blood, and the murderous aura in his eyes was awe-inspiring, like a ghost.

"I don't regret my death, Ling'er is innocent, please spare her."

Duke Huai kowtowed and begged, Xu Yuanqing glared angrily, took a dagger from his waist and threw it in front of him, hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled coldly and strangely, "You'd better die not too easily, or the rest of my hatred will be filledOn the princess."

Duke Huai looked at the dagger in front of him, and slowly reached out to hold it.

Xu Yuanqing stood up, took a few steps back, her eyes were red, she looked at him quietly with lowered eyes, and whispered a name in her mouth.

"Yun'er, you watch, and I watch too."

Duke Huai was propped up and kneeling on the ground. Although he was an honorable Duke, His Majesty personally ordered that no one in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs would dare to take care of him after he was imprisoned. The presiding judge was Chen Wenjing who belonged to Xu Yuanqing.

He has been educated for decades, and now such an encounter has quickly worn down his body and mind, and he has no arrogance until now.

Hopeless to survive, he dare not die rashly, now he is only relying on the heart of being a father, this life can keep his daughter alive, and he dared to see his dead wife once under the nine springs.

Duke Huai opened the dagger, and the sharp dagger came into his eyes. He gritted his teeth and stabbed himself in the abdomen without hesitation. Blood sprayed, and the dirty ground was stained dark.

Xu Yuanqing remained indifferent, with a trace of pleasure in his eyes.

Duke Huai fell to the ground, curled up, and drew out the dagger to stab hard at the sole of his foot. He couldn't help moaning, twitching in pain, and twisted his body.

Half an hour later, Duke Huai was lying in a pool of blood, with blood holes all over his body, and the blood spread in the cell. He dared not close his eyes and could not make a sound.

The strong smell of blood filled the air, and Xu Yuanqing felt refreshed when he was in it. He smiled silently, but tears fell involuntarily.

He wiped away his tears fiercely, patted the doorpost, looked down at the culprit, and allowed the dark side in his heart to grow wantonly.

It's long overdue!

"Daddy!"

The woman's exclamation broke the eerie silence in the cell, and Duke Huai convulsed, as if responding with his body.

Xu Yuanqing turned around and looked, a few steps away, Lu Qiuling and Shen Yuze held her hands tightly to prevent her from moving forward, she broke down and screamed, in a panic.

Seeing this, Xu Yuanqing became even more frantic. He looked down at Duke Huai who was dying, and warned him with a smile, "Mr. Lu, if you die, I will immediately send the princess to accompany you!"

Duke Huai twitched his body, his bloodshot eyes widened, and he dared not close them.

Xu Yuanqing laughed wantonly, he turned around supporting the doorpost, and approached slowly under Lu Qiuling's venomous gaze.

He glanced over Lu Qiuling and finally looked at Shen Yuze. There was a triumphant smile in his eyes, as if announcing his victory.

Xu Yuanqing was not afraid, and raised her hand to straighten the hair on her face for Lu Qiuling, showing a pale face, leaning over to look at her, with a faint smile, and kindly reminded, "The princess who was exchanged by the Duke of the country, the princessDon't waste it."

"Xu Yuanqing, I will definitely kill you!" Lu Qiuling broke free from Shen Yuze's shackles, and rushed towards him. Xu Yuanqing dodged deftly, leaving her in the air.

Xu Yuanqing sneered, "Why, the princess cares more about me than the Duke?"

Lu Qiuling came back to his senses, and rushed towards Duke Huai who was in the prison in a panic.

Shen Yuze looked up at him. In the dark cell, the light was mixed. He was hiding in the dark, unable to see his face clearly.

The sense of oppression came again, Xu Yuanqing didn't budge, looked back indifferently, opened his mouth but didn't make a sound.

"Daddy!"

Lu Qiuling screamed heart-piercingly, and Xu Yuanqing glanced coldly at the person in front of him, seeing her kneeling in a pool of blood, picking up the dagger on the ground with trembling hands, trembling all over.

The dagger was inserted into Duke Huai's heart, and she wept bitterly and wept bitterly.

Xu Yuanqing turned around to leave, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xiang Changyuan running towards him, caught him off guard and took him into his arms, holding him tightly.

Shen Yuze looked at the person who appeared suddenly, he hugged the person he liked, his eyes were cold and stern, he favored him a bit, broke in through the small window and fell on him, even taking care of his beloved.

Looking far away, the once smiling eyes now only have anger and murderous intent.

He knew from a long time ago that deep in his heart was a sinister trick, but he was as hot as the sun, with no secrets in his heart, and he was a sincere and sincere person.

He wears a mask to make friends with him, and one day the true face under the mask will be revealed, and they will no longer be fellow travelers.

Xiang Changyuan hugged the person in his arms horizontally, turned around and left the dark cell.

Xu Yuanqing was slightly taken aback, but let him go.
