I feel like my intelligence has been insulted by others.
He believed that Li Lin had betrayed him.
Therefore, he was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison. Of course, the Imperial Prison in this era was not generally called the Imperial Prison, but should be called the Court of Justice Prison. However, since most of the officials imprisoned there were imprisoned because the First Emperor issued an edict, the name Imperial Prison came about over time.
"Father, Father!"
Suddenly, shouts came from outside the palace.
The sound frequency is extremely fast, and the decibel level is also quite high.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has already gone to bed. Please come again tomorrow if there is anything urgent."
The eunuchs guarding the gate were somewhat at a loss as to what to do.
Princess Manyin is His Majesty's most beloved princess, and they really don't dare to do anything to her for the time being.
If it were an ordinary princess or prince.
They drove them away long ago.
To put it bluntly, these guys are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.
"Come again tomorrow? Ha, you want me to come again tomorrow? Do you know that my husband is currently imprisoned in the imperial prison? He could be executed at any moment. Tell me, if it were you, would you be in the mood to wait until tomorrow? Get out of here now, I want to see my father!"
"Your Highness, please have mercy!"
"It's not easy for us either. You are His Majesty's own daughter. If you disturb His Majesty, he may just scold you, but we servants are in mortal danger!"
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, your husband's life is important, but our lives are important too! We all have lives, why should we give way to him!"
......
Their words left Manyin speechless.
indeed.
If they let her in, their lives might be forfeit as well.
But if we don't let her in, who knows what those prisoners or jailers in the imperial prison will do to Li Lin?
I heard from the maids around me.
There are big bosses in prison. If a new inmate comes in and has delicate skin, she'll have to warm the big boss's bed. The things that happen after that are terrifying to her.
So after receiving the news that Li Lin was being held in the imperial prison, she rushed over without stopping.
They didn't care at all that it was already late at night.
"What happened?"
At this moment, Gao Shu, the head of the Imperial Carriage Office, was awakened.
He wasn't supposed to be with the First Emperor at night, but it was his turn to work the night shift today, so there was nothing he could do.
They lived in a side hall of the palace.
But the noise outside was so loud that it woke him up.
He certainly dared not slack off, after all, His Majesty was sleeping inside. If he didn't handle things well and angered His Majesty, he would be in deep trouble. So he quickly got dressed and came out.
"Eunuch Gao, that's wonderful! With you here, I can rest assured! Quickly, quickly, make these fellows leave! I need to see my father!"
Princess Manyin's worries immediately turned into joy.
Gao Shu had just come out and shouted when he saw the princess there. He immediately understood everything. The princess must have learned about what happened during the day and had come to beg the First Emperor for forgiveness on behalf of her beloved.
"This...Your Highness, it's not that this old servant is heartless, it's just that there are rules in this palace..."
"Eunuch Gao, please make an exception for me. If you ever have any problems that you can't solve in the future, you can tell this princess, and this princess will save your life, how about that?"
"Well... alright, this old servant will make an exception this night. Go away, you little brats, how dare you block Her Highness's path? Are you tired of living?"
Gao Shu had originally intended to let her in.
After all, Li Lin had just established a friendly cooperative relationship with him. If Li Lin were to really disappear, wouldn't he have to find another minister in the court that the First Emperor liked to rely on?
That would be too troublesome.
After comparing them, he felt that Li Lin was an honest man and someone he could get along with.
Furthermore, given Princess Manyin's important promise to save his life in a critical moment, he naturally allowed her to enter.
After all, if someone is in the imperial court and loses power or chooses the wrong side, the consequences could be unimaginable!
Isn't it great to have a life-saving charm?
"promise!"
The eunuchs around him were all Gao Shu's disciples and grand-disciples; how could they dare to disobey his wishes?
They immediately made way for Princess Manyin to enter.
At this time, the First Emperor...
I was so comfortable from soaking my feet that I was almost falling asleep.
Suddenly the door was pushed open.
"Father!"
"Huh? Who?"
The First Emperor was startled and sat up in bed, his feet still inside the bathtub.
"Oh, it's Manyin. It's the middle of the night, and I was almost asleep. What brings you here?"
She did not directly answer the First Emperor's questions.
However, she naturally didn't pay much attention to the scene of the First Emperor soaking his feet for health preservation.
Fortunately, the First Emperor had been overworked recently and didn't have much energy to take care of his kidneys, otherwise many of the eunuchs on night duty would have lost their heads tonight.
"Father, I've heard that you're going to execute my husband. Is that true?"
"Huh? You mean that brat Li Lin?"
"Indeed, what did he do wrong that made Father Emperor so determined to kill him?"
"he......"
"Father, my marriage to him is in three days. Do you intend to make me the biggest laughingstock of Qin in three days?"
"Silly girl, alas, there are so many men in the world. Li Lin is nothing. At worst, I will issue an edict tomorrow to annul your marriage with Li Lin. After all, he was wrong first. The people of the world will not despise you because of this when they know the truth. You are still the high and mighty princess of Qin, you are still the imperial princess of Qin. Why do you have to be so hung up on the fact that your future husband is Li Lin?"
"Father, I will marry no one but Li Lin. I don't know what heinous crime Li Lin has committed, but I am already his wife in name only. Since you want to kill Li Lin, then please take your daughter with you!"
