Chapter 180 Confession
If someone is too attentive for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Besides, Chen Yu was sure that Li Yanchang had something to say.
It was hot in the summer, and Chen Yu sat near the door and opened the curtain on one side.
Only after the carriage drove out of the imperial city did Shen Yu lower the curtain and speak.
"Your Highness, Prince Qi, aren't you afraid that others will think that you and I are too close?"
"You opened the curtain in the palace just now, wasn't it because you wanted everyone to think so?" Li Yanchang said.
Chen Yu said: "Didn't the King of Qi also acquiesce to my behavior?"
"Yes." Li Yanchang smiled, leaned closer, and said frivolously: "It's better to be closer. I think we can be even closer. What do you think?"
Chen Yu's brows were calm, "Let's talk business, King Qi."
Li Yanchang clicked his tongue twice, "This is the real business."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was seen preparing to get off the car.
"Wait a minute." Li Yanchang stopped his frivolous look and said, "What do you think of the conditions I discussed at the hunting ground last time?"
Chen Yu leaned against the wall of the car, "I have considered it. I am now a favorite of His Majesty. I am afraid that the sincerity of His Royal Highness Prince Qi is not enough."
"You are now a new noble in Shengjing, but a new emperor appoints new ministers." Li Yanchang said dangerously, "How long can this new noble remain noble?"
"Even if we are looking for a new owner, it should be the prince."
Li Yanchang laughed out loud, and when he had laughed enough, he said, "You walk around in front of His Majesty all day long, and the information you get is no less than that of the king. Don't you understand what the situation is now?"
Chen Yu said: "As long as Marquis Xuanping doesn't speak, the prince will firmly sit on the throne of the Eastern Palace."
"Isn't it possible?" Li Yanchang said, "The emperor's mind is hard to predict."
Chen Yu lowered her head and looked thoughtful. "I heard that the King of Qi is so sure. How are you going to pull him down? In other words, how are you going to make the Marquis of Xuanping speak?"
Li Yanchang said: "You don't have to worry about this. Just tell me whether you are willing or not."
"That depends on what conditions the King of Qi can afford."
Li Yanchang's feminine face was filled with evil, "Whatever I have, you will have a share. If you want the other side of my bed, I am willing to do that."
"Stop the car." Chen Yu said calmly. Before leaving the carriage, she turned back and said, "You have to hurry up."
Li Yanchang was alert, "Why?"
Chen Yu glanced at Li Yanchang, "Didn't you smell it? The incense in His Majesty's bedroom
It’s thicker.”
Chen Yu jumped off the carriage in the downtown area, watched the carriage disappear, and turned into an alley.
Li Yanchang said, "When I entered the palace today, the incense in the bedroom was indeed stronger, but it still couldn't cover the smell of medicine. It should be that the imperial physician increased the dosage."
"Your Highness, can you trust what this woman says?" Scarface asked.
Li Yanchang was no longer as frivolous as before, his eyes were full of malice, "I hold her lifeline in my hands, I can neither believe it completely nor not believe it."
"Go and do something for me." Li Yanchang said.
Scarface said, "Your Majesty, please give your orders."
"Send someone to keep a close eye on the Beilin Palace. I want to see if they really have a falling out."
Scarface: “Yes.”
The Ministry of Justice was as solid as a rock. Marquis Xuanping was lying on a hard wooden bed, staring at the wall in a daze with a dazed look.
The walls are very dirty. The Ministry of Justice Prison has existed for hundreds of years and has been repaired and reinforced several times, but it still retains traces of its predecessors.
There were suicide notes that had not been scraped clean, walls scratched bare by prisoners, and even bloodstains.
The footsteps stopped at the prison door, and Marquis Xuanping did not react.
He knew that this process would happen every day, and the jailer would come to ask him if he wanted to speak.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear any familiar words, but I heard a slight sobbing sound.
Xuanping Hou was stunned when he heard the voice, "Anan?"
He turned over and suddenly stumbled to the door, "Why are you here?!"
"Dad." Pei Chunli burst into tears.
Pei Chunli didn't expect to see his father in such a miserable state. His father was like the sky to him since he was a child, but this sky collapsed, and it collapsed so suddenly that he was caught off guard and didn't know what to do next.
Xuanping Hou held his hand and said, "Dad, it's okay. Why have you lost so much weight?"
Pei Chunli wiped his tears and said, "Dad, what happened? They all said that Dad was the mastermind of the Yanliang Pass case, and it was you who killed so many soldiers."
"Do you believe it?" asked Marquis Xuanping.
"I don't believe it." Pei Chunli cried, "You told me not to dirty myself, but I don't believe it."
Xuanping Hou burst into tears, "Then don't believe it."
At least in his son's heart, he is still clean, Xuanping Hou said in his heart.
"Visits are not allowed in the prison, how did you get in?" asked Marquis Xuanping.
Pei Chunli wiped away his tears and said, "It's Xu
My Lord asked me to come.”
Marquis Xuanping had an idea.
Xu Yishan must have wanted Pei Chunli to persuade him to confess as soon as possible, but once he confessed, his days would be numbered.
"This place is unlucky. You can go back after seeing your father." said Marquis Xuanping.
Pei Chunli started crying again, "It took me a lot of effort to get in. Oh, by the way, the King of Qi asked me to bring a message."
Xuan Pinghou's hands trembled slightly, and he asked hurriedly: "What did he say?"
"He said the prince was stupid and asked you to stop protecting him." Pei Chunli said, "The King of Qi said he would find a way to protect you and would not let our family collapse."
Marquis Xuanping was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered a few times, and his legs went limp as if he had lost strength.
Pei Chunli put his arm through the railing and hurriedly supported him, "Dad, are you okay?"
"No, nothing." Xuan Pinghou's eyes were dull, and after a while he fixed his gaze on Pei Chunli's face, "Anan, go back."
Pei Chunli said: "Dad, when can you go home?"
"It should...it should be soon." Marquis Xuanping was evasive.
Pei Chunli nodded happily, "Well, then I'll go back first. I'll wait for you at home. I will definitely listen to you and study hard in the future."
Xuanping Hou patted his hands and said, "Well, go ahead."
Pei Chunli let go of his hand, but was suddenly grabbed by Marquis Xuanping.
"Anan, you...remember to eat well and study hard."
Pei Chunli nodded, feeling something was wrong, "Dad..."
"Wait for dad to come out and check your homework."
Pei Chunli smiled and nodded with tears in his eyes, "Okay."
Watching Pei Chunli's back disappear, Marquis Xuanping slowly backed away and finally sat on the hard bed.
"Okay, good plan, hahahahahaha."
Marquis Xuanping laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "What a great plot! Even I was included in it."
The jailer listened for a while and saw that Marquis Xuanping looked like he was going crazy.
"What are you laughing at? It's time to speak up."
Marquis Xuanping laughed until he felt weak all over, and his old laughter echoed in the cell. When he laughed to the end and raised his head, his face was full of tears.
"Come on, I'll come on, bring me some paper and pen."
Pei Chunli walked out of the prison and felt a few drops of water falling on his face.
He raised his head and looked at the sky.
“It’s raining.”
