Chapter 42
Dali Temple Prison.
??The smell of decay and damp spreads in every prison cell, and it is dark and gloomy everywhere. The only source of light is the glazed lamps hanging on the corridor.
??In a relatively tidy cell near the innermost side, the eldest prince Yuan Yue knelt on the ground, holding Su Yu's hand tightly on the mat, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you okay?"
??Su Yu was lying on the mat, with his eyes closed tightly, and the tails of his eyes were still red after the tide, his arms were hanging weakly on one side, and a thick brocade cloak was wrapped around his body.Under the cloak, the Confucian gown that was originally neat and clean was already loose and messy.
??"cough."
?? An unspeakable feeling came from all the limbs, broken and chaotic and all kinds of filthy images intermittently poured into his mind, his heartstrings trembled, he covered his lips, coughed suddenly, and after a long time of panting, his fingers trembled and clenched The poorly made cattail mat under the tight body was so tightly clenched that the knuckles turned white.
?? Yuan Yue was very nervous. Seeing him like this, he bowed his head guiltily: "I know, in this place... I really wronged you, but I really can't think of any other way. Only in this way can the emperor forgive me you."
?? "I know...cough."
?? "The prince does not need to blame himself."
??Su Yu shook his head very lightly.
?? This is undoubtedly an important signal for Yuan Yue.
??Yuan Yue's eyes became hot, he held Su Yu's hand even tighter, and said: "Okay, you are weak now, don't talk too much, don't worry, I will treat you well after I get out."
?? At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor.
"Yu'er."
?? Princess Yunshan Yuan Ruyin rushed to the prison door, pulled back her cloak and hat, and looked at her son with tears in her eyes.
??"Mother."
?? Su Yu finally opened his eyes and looked out of the cell.
?? "It's mother, mother is here to see you, and your father."
??Even though she was prepared in her heart, Princess Yunshan couldn't help but feel pain in her heart when she saw her son's distressed appearance.
??Her son should be the son of Yalan, whom everyone admires and admires. He is noble and unparalleled in the world.
??However, in such a filthy place, in front of so many lowly untouchables...
?? She hates, she is unwilling.
?? Su Wenqing stood silently behind his wife, looked at his son, and knew that the news that almost made him faint just now was indeed true.
??Literati pays most attention to face and integrity.
??Now, he doesn't have any of these two things.
??Even if you don't resign in the future, you will never be able to hold your head up in front of your colleagues.
?? "Please open the cell door and let their mother and son meet."
?? Su Wenqing suppressed the pain in his heart, and said to the jailer beside him.
??The jailer knew his identity, respectfully responded, took out the key from his waist, and opened the cell door.
??Princess Spruce was the first one to rush in immediately, ran to the mat, and held her son's hand distressedly.
?? The eldest prince Yuan Yue stepped aside consciously and remained silent.
?? "It's the child's unfilial piety that made the mother worry."
?? Su Yu said in a hoarse voice, but looked at Su Wenqing, who was still standing outside the cell and had not entered.
??Su Wenqing looked away and didn't speak.
??Su Yu's body trembled again.
?? "It's a child who shamed parents and mothers."
??Princess Yunshan shook her head, trying to swallow the tears in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, what are you talking about, you and the eldest prince are in love with each other, although you have encountered some disasters, but... the eldest prince treats you You are sincere, and everyone can see it, which is not something to be ashamed of."
??Her voice was biting hard, as if she was persuading herself or her son.
?? It's more like persuading the husband who lingers outside the prison door and refuses to come in.
??The eldest prince Yuan Yue heard this, and said seriously: "Don't worry, aunt, I will be responsible to Yuan Pu to the end."
??Princess Yunshan's eyes turned red, and she showed a gratified smile: "The eldest prince is honest and steady, so I naturally believe it. It's just..."
??She paused, seeming to be embarrassed, and said: "After all, Yu'er is now wearing a sinful body. Although you already have that relationship, Yu'er's future identity... I'm afraid the eldest prince will have to worry about it."
"Don't worry, aunt."
??Yuan Yue immediately said: "Since I am happy with Yuan Pu, I will never wrong him. When I return to the palace, I will ask my father to make Yuan Pu my concubine."
?? "Okay, with the words of the First Prince, I feel relieved."
??Yuan Ruyin lifted the last stone from her heart, and tilted her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend.
??God does not favor her so what.
?? She has her own way to win this round.
??She will never allow the glory and status she has worked so hard to plan for many years to be reduced to nothing.
??Yuan Ruyin turned her head and wanted to say something more, when someone outside suddenly said loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived, and the idlers wait to avoid it quickly."
?? imperial decree?
?? A trace of confusion flashed in Yuan Ruyin's eyes.
??The eldest prince has not yet entered the palace to make a statement, so why did the imperial decree arrive first?
??Is it an imperial decree aimed at Yu'er?Or is it an imperial decree aimed at the First Prince?
?? No matter which one, it is enough for Yuan Ruyin to be in a state of confusion.
?? Prisoners have come to drive away.
??Yuan Ruyin could only get up and leave the cell, and knelt down in the corridor with her husband.
?? The eldest prince Yuan Yue also came out and knelt down in silence.
?? The surrounding area was extremely quiet, only the sound of steady footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.
?? A figure slowly stopped outside the prison door, and a long shadow was cast by the glazed lamp.
?? Su Yu, who had always been calm, suddenly had a heartbeat like a drum, turned his head, and looked out expectantly.
?? "Sinner Su Yu, get up and accept the order?"
?? Eunuch Luo held the imperial decree in his hand, showing a smile that was half-hearted.
?? Su Yu was stunned, bit his lip, and trembled violently. Fang slowly got up from the mat and knelt face outward.
?? Eunuch Luo did not announce the decree immediately, but said: "This time, the old slave came here and brought two copies of the imperial decree. The sinner Su Yu, as the presiding judge of this case, His Highness asked the old slave to ask, do you want to choose one, or choose one? two?"
??"what?"
?? Su Yu was at a loss.
??Yuan Ruyin and Su Wenqing also looked at each other in dismay. Since it is an imperial decree, how could there be two copies.
??Yuan Ruyin raised her head quietly, and looked at Eunuch Luo's hands behind her back. There, there were indeed two imperial edicts with exactly the same appearance.
?? Eunuch Luo said indifferently: "Choose one, that is, choose the country's laws and laws. You will be punished according to the law. You will be punished according to the law. You will be sentenced to three hundred years in prison, deprived of your status as a Confucian scholar, and prohibited from taking any exams within ten years. Identity, start all over again. Choose the second..."
?? Eunuch Luo glanced at the eldest prince Yuan Yue who was kneeling in the corridor, and said: "That is to choose to 'enter the Marquis'. You can avoid the punishment of the stick, but you will be deprived of your status as a Confucian scholar for life. In this life, you There will be no chance to become an official again. In the future, your honor and disgrace will be tied to the eldest prince alone."
?? "Sinner Su Yu, which one do you choose?"
?? Su Yu gritted his teeth hard, and the hand hanging by his side also trembled slightly.
??Outside, Yuan Ruyin was so shocked that she almost lost her composure.
??She never expected that the emperor would be cruel enough to set such a punishment. Three years in prison, and temporarily deprived of his status as a Confucian scholar would be fine, but the emperor actually ordered such a harsh punishment of three hundred sticks.
??Yu'er is just an ordinary frail scholar who has never practiced martial arts. It's not bad to be able to withstand a hundred sticks. Three hundred sticks. Doesn't this mean that Yu'er's life is killed in disguise?
?? Fortunately, she had planned long ago, so she would not be helpless, otherwise, at this moment, wouldn't she want to watch Yu'er die.It's just... Yuan Ruyin looked at her son who was obviously restless, fearing that his son would lose his mind for a while, choose the wrong path, and ignore the rules, so she said hastily:
"Yu'er..."
"Princess, please shut up."
?? Eunuch Luo said coolly: "Your Highness lets the sinner choose according to his own will, and no one else can interfere."
?? "Yes, Ruyin knows it's wrong."
??Yuan Ruyin lowered her head tremblingly.
?? "Sinner Su Yu, have you thought about it?"
?? Eunuch Luo asked again.
??In the prison, Su Yu trembled for a long time, finally took a deep breath, and said: "The sinner...has already made up his mind. The sinner——"
?? He gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice, "Sinner, choose two."
??Yuan Ruyin let out a long sigh of relief, and collapsed to the ground.
?? Luo Gonggong said: "Once this road is selected, there is no room for change, whether it is the ghost gate or the Yangguan road. Su Yu, the sinner, have you made up your mind?"
?? "The sinner thinks about it."
?? Su Yu opened his eyes wide, and said: "The sinner is weak and has a heart disease, so he can't stand the three hundred rods. Please tell Your Highness the truth."
?? Eunuch Luo raised his eyebrows expressionlessly and nodded.
?? "Okay, since that's the case, the old slave will read the imperial decree."
Eunuch Luo took out an imperial decree from his hand, unfolded it, and read it in a high voice: "The sinner Su Yu, who fabricates lies, obstructs public affairs, disrupts the law, treats the lives of the people in the city like a joke, and frames others, should be in accordance with the law. The most important thing is to read that the eldest prince Yuanyue is willing to redeem himself with the land and city..."
??The eldest prince Yuan Yue, who was kneeling outside, trembled almost invisible.
?? Yuan Ruyin suddenly changed color.
??Without the fief and food town, the name of First Prince is the same as that of her Eldest Princess, only a glamorous shell left!
??His Majesty is... so cruel.
??Yuan Ruyin's heart trembled violently, but she quickly calmed down.
?? It doesn't matter, even if it is an empty shell, it still retains the identity of the prince.
?? What's more, he is still the eldest son of the emperor.
?? After all, it is hundreds of times stronger than ordinary noble families in Beijing.
??The eldest son of the emperor, the concubine, is also a serious royal daughter-in-law registered with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has an official title.The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot of rules, and the wives also pay homage when they see each other.
?? If you can give birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor, the future will be even more different.
??The emperor was just impatient and thus imposed such a severe punishment. She did not believe that the emperor really had the heart to let his son live on the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
?? Eunuch Luo is still thinking calmly: "Therefore, I will be exempted from the punishment of the stick and deprived of the status of Confucian scholar for life. And it is scheduled for three days later that the eldest prince Yuan Yuenar will enter the mansion..."
?? Yuan Ruyin showed joy.
?? The real last stone in my heart has completely landed.
?? She is suspicious and overthinking. Just now she was a little worried that the emperor would pretend to be deaf and dumb and would not recognize his son's identity.
?? "The eldest prince Yuan Yuenar entered the mansion..."
?? Eunuch Luo paused for a moment, and said, "I am a third-class concubine, and I respect you."
??! !
??Su Yu, who had been listening silently all this time, suddenly raised his head, and the blood on his face faded away.
??Outside, Yuan Ruyin and the eldest prince Yuan Yue also raised their heads suddenly.
?? "No, it's impossible..."
?? Yuan Ruyin opened her eyes in a daze.
?? Third concubine.
?? Not the main concubine, not the side concubine, but the lowest third-class concubine.
?? How, how could this be so!
?? Eunuch Luo closed the imperial decree and said shortly, "Sinner Su Yu, accept the decree?"
??The author has something to say: Xiao Yang Yang: slightly.
