Chapter 15: Back to an hour ago...
Prime Minister Chen glanced at her coldly as he passed by her.
Originally, Liu Zhongyuan's death sentence was a foregone conclusion, but because of Liu Zhiyuan's disturbance, it was changed to exile. The emperor's attitude was abnormal, and with only one day left, no one could predict what the outcome would be.
If she makes a scene again, she might even be exiled.
Liu Zhongyuan must die. The road to exile is full of dangers, which is the best opportunity to kill him.
But the emperor's special treatment of Liu Zhiyuan is disturbing. Who knows whether Liu Zhongyuan will be successfully exiled tomorrow? In order to avoid any further complications, we must take action tonight!
Liu Zhiyuan has watched too many palace fighting dramas, so although he doesn't fully understand the methods used by the ancients, he can guess most of them.
My father was wrongly accused and his sentence was changed from death penalty to exile. The people behind the scenes must be uneasy. In order to eliminate the trouble forever, they may let my father die in prison tonight.
Thinking of this, she saved the game so that if something happened to her father tonight, she could load the game and find a way to save her father.
In the early hours of the morning, Wang Zheng hurried into the Yangxin Palace with a bloody face.
"Your Majesty is as foresighted as ever. As expected, someone broke into the Dali Temple tonight and attempted to assassinate Liu Zhongyuan."
Xiao Yu had a blank expression on his face. He was not a prophet, but he could see through people's hearts.
It seems that the disaster relief fund embezzlement case is quite serious, as some people are getting restless so quickly.
"Where are the people?"
Wang Zheng lowered his head in shame. "Those people are all death warriors. If they were caught, they would bite the poison sac hidden in their teeth and commit suicide."
He knelt down and said, "I was incompetent and failed to capture him alive. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yu glanced at him and said, "Get up! How dare you show off your scheming in front of me?"
Wang Zheng felt a little embarrassed and stood up and scratched his head.
The emperor ordered to capture some people alive, but he was afraid that the emperor would blame him for not doing his job well, so he played a trick. He first said that those were death squads who would die if the mission failed, and then said that he was incompetent. In this way, the emperor might not blame him.
However, the emperor saw through it at a glance.
Fortunately, the emperor did not blame me.
"Your Majesty, please continue to investigate this matter thoroughly."
"That's not necessary."
Who wants Liu Zhongyuan dead the most, and who has the ability to raise assassins under the emperor's feet? Is there any need to guess?
Wang Zheng follows the emperor's heart with his eyes. Having been with him for a long time, he knows very well that the emperor is not as foolish and ignorant as outsiders say.
On the contrary, the emperor knew a lot of things, but he had a faint sense of death. He didn't care about anything, didn't want to take care of anything, and just watched coldly.
Just like Liu Zhongyuan's case, the three judicial departments closed the case so hastily. Could it be that the emperor really couldn't see that there was a problem and just didn't want to get involved?
But now he suddenly intervened. Is it because of Liu Zhiyuan?
"Continue to send people to guard it. Liu Zhongyuan must be alive before he is exiled."
"I obey your command."
……………………
Liu Zhiyuan was worried all morning and couldn't sleep all night.
The next morning, the palace maids brought breakfast. Liu Zhiyuan grabbed one of them by the hand and asked, "Is there any news outside today?"
The maid was puzzled, "What rumors are you referring to, Madam?"
"About my father."
"I don't know."
She bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu has sent over a few sets of casual clothes. Please choose one and go outside the palace to see Master Liu off at noon."
After she finished speaking, several palace maids came in one after another, holding rosewood trays. Each tray contained two sets of clothes made of gorgeous materials, which were so gorgeous and dazzling that they made people dazzled.
Liu Zhiyuan was not interested. She had seen all kinds of gorgeous clothes in modern society. Compared to beautiful clothes, she was more concerned about the meaning behind them.
Her father was fine, otherwise Eunuch Liu would not have asked her to go to see him off, but to attend the funeral.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then ordered a set of brocade that looked like colorful clouds, and let those people go.
Before leaving, the palace maid left all her clothes behind. However, the cold palace was simple and there was no wardrobe to store clothes. The ten rosewood trays placed on the ground looked a bit funny.
After breakfast, it was almost time, and Eunuch Liu sent someone to escort her out of the palace.
The luxurious carriage arrived at the city gate, and from afar, they could see the three members of the Liu family standing there, chained with iron chains, and the guards who were responsible for escorting them stood behind them.
Liu Zhiyuan jumped directly from the carriage and ran towards them.
"Dad, Mom, Brother."
Liu Changjia took a step forward and hugged Liu Zhiyuan tightly, "Yuan'er, I'm glad you're okay."
I'm glad you're okay.
"I'm fine." Liu Zhiyuan pushed his arms away with a smile on her face, but her eyes were red.
"Look, nothing's wrong."
Liu Zhongyuan was worried, "Yuan'er, how did you plead with the emperor?"
"I went to..." the imperial study.
Liu Zhiyuan paused and swallowed the three words "Imperial Study". Otherwise, she didn't know how to explain how she was able to enter the Imperial Study smoothly.
Then he said, "I went to see the emperor and told him that my father was wrongly accused. The emperor said that because my father had devoted himself to the country and the people, he would pardon the death penalty."
Liu Zhongyuan and Liu Changjia looked at each other. Is it that simple?
With Xiao Yu's foolish and cruel character, how could he let the Liu family go so easily?
Liu Zhongyuan stroked Liu Zhiyuan's hair and said lovingly, "Yuan'er, you pleaded for your father. What was the emperor's reaction?"
The reaction was huge. If she hadn't reversed quickly, she would have been cut in half by the tyrant's sword.
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head. "No, the emperor didn't say anything and simply changed the sentence to exile three thousand miles away."
She wasn't lying. When they drove back in reverse, Xiao Yu didn't say anything.
Liu Zhiyuan held the hands of Liu Zhongyuan and Madam Liu, and said solemnly, "Dad, Mom, Brother, don't worry. I will definitely find a way to clear your name and let you return to the capital. You must take good care of yourselves on the road."
Liu Zhongyuan and Liu Changjia saw doubt in their eyes, and their expressions became solemn.
Based on their understanding of Xiao Yu, this matter is definitely not that simple, and the emperor must have other considerations.
I'm afraid there's some conspiracy.
Liu Changjia looked at Liu Zhiyuan with an extremely gentle look, "Yuan'er, we are already very happy that you can save your life. Please don't interfere anymore, and don't go to the emperor."
Liu Zhiyuan did not respond, but changed the subject.
She took a package from the carriage and handed it to Liu Zhongyuan.
He glanced at the guard who had retreated to the side and whispered, "Dad, please keep these things and use them to pay for the officials on the way."
Liu Zhongyuan touched it and roughly knew that there were silver and jewelry inside.
He didn't know that Liu Zhiyuan had been banished to the cold palace and had nothing. He just thought that the things belonged to Liu Zhiyuan's palace, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Little did they know that these were all stolen by Liu Zhiyuan from other places in the palace that morning... No, he borrowed them from other places.
Well, she's just borrowing it and will return it when she has money in the future.
An hour later, the guard stepped forward to remind her, "Your Majesty, it's already been an hour. We should send the prisoner on his journey."
Has it been an hour so soon?
Liu Zhiyuan held Liu Zhongyuan's hand tightly, but she still had a lot to say.
The time of separation is always so short. When I think about being separated from my parents and brothers and seeing them have to travel long distances and be displaced, my eyes can't help but well up.
So she opened the file loading page and rewound the time back to an hour ago...
