Chapter 25(1/3)
Qianlong was extremely shocked and looked at Concubine Ling with emotion. The so-called confidante of the red pink is the only Concubine Ling.
Qianlong really didn't know that Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi, and Jinsuo had already fallen into a terrible situation.
On this day, the three people were pushed into the punishment room again. The jailer used three iron chains to hang Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi and Jinsuo in the room. The jailer held whips in his hands, and was full of murderous aura. On the ground, a basin of charcoal fire was burned, and the iron burned red. When Jinsuo saw it, his soul was scattered:
"Miss, it seems that they are going to kill us. What should we do?"
Ziwei looked around, took a breath and said:
"Little Swallow, Jinsuo, we are all braver. We are not born on the same day of the same year, month, and death on the same day of the same year, month and day, which is also our blessing! Don't cry, don't be afraid, let us die with a little backbone!"
The little swallow's heroic spirit was ignited by Ziwei.
"Yes! Jinsuo, let's be more motivated! Don't underestimate people just because we are women!"
With a lot of steps, Lord Liang walked in with a team of officers and soldiers. Lord Liang sat down and slapped the gavel.
"Okay, let's start again! Today, are you three ready? Do you want to make a note?"
"Don't draw! I don't draw anything, I'll kill and beat you, and I'll just listen to the emperor! I just don't draw!" Ziwei said.
Xiaoyanzi cursed:
"Draw your beam turtle! "Draw you're being 'pressed' by a big stone of thousands of pounds! Draw your beam turtle was pressed, and its head was broken into blood, and its shell was broken all over the ground..."
Lord Liang roared:
"The three of them deserve to be beaten! Fight me, beat hard! Fight hard!"
The whip thrust at the three of them. The three of them were beaten to pieces and their clothes were covered with whip marks. Jin Zuo was so painful that he couldn't help it and started screaming:
"Ah...it hurts...ah..."
"Jinsuo! Let's sing!" Ziwei shouted, and sang loudly, "The weather is so sunny today, and the scenery is good everywhere! Butterflies are busy, bees are busy, birds are busy, and white clouds are busy! Horse hooves are swaying the fallen flowers!"
In order to resist the pain, Jin Suo and Xiao Yanzi also sang:
"Camels pass by in front of you, and the bells ring! This is also singing, that is also singing, the wind is singing, and the water is singing! The green field is vast and the sky is vast!"
When Lord Liang saw that the three of them actually started singing, he was furious and shouted:
"You three female thieves are about to die and don't know how to repent? Hurry up and write! If you don't draw, we will be punished! Don't toast or not eat and punish wine! Quickly draw!"
The officers and soldiers took the written confession and sent it to Xiaoyanzi.
None of the three read the confession, and the singing became louder.
"The waiter, ruined their faces!" Lord Liang shouted.
The jailer immediately took out the burning iron and walked up viciously. The three girls had already put their lives aside, but when the burning iron was approaching the door, they couldn't help but be frightened.
Just then, someone outside suddenly shouted:
"The imperial edict has arrived! The imperial edict has arrived..."
The little swallow was surprised and happy, shouting ecstatically:
"Ziwei, did you hear that? The Emperor is here to save us!"
"Save it, there is something! I knew the emperor would not forget us!" Jin Suo cried and laughed.
Lord Liang was shocked and knelt down in a hurry. The jailers and officers and soldiers immediately knelt all over the ground.
Zi Wei was half-believing and half-doubted, and looked at the voice. Yongqi rushed in with Erkang and Ertai. The ones following him were Liu Qing and Liu Hong. As soon as Yongqi entered the door, he took a fake imperial edict, swayed it and said loudly:
"The emperor has his life, and he will immediately bring Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and Jinsuo into the palace, and there must be no mistakes!"
Yongqi was shaking the imperial edict there, Erkang, Ertai, Liu Qing and Liu Hong rushed forward. When Erkang saw the three of them in such a situation, he was already furious and drew out his sword. He clanged in the bang, but he couldn't cut the firm iron chains. Erkang yelled at the prison guard:
"Why don't you loosen your ties now!"
Lord Liang felt that the situation was wrong and hurriedly shouted:
"Slow down! Let me see this imperial edict!"
Yongqi immediately attacked and shouted:
"I am the fifth prince. Today I witnessed you lynching with my own eyes. What a courageous dog! I want you to pay your life!"
Ertai had already drawn his sword and slashed at the prison guard. Liu Qing and Liu Hong rushed forward, and they were so sharp that they could not help but knocked down the prison guard, grabbed the keys, and unlocked the locks for the three of them.
Xiaoyanzi shouted in surprise:
"Liu Qing and Liu Hong, why are you..."
Liu Qing whispered a warning:
"We'll save you, don't say much, fight out with us!"
Lord Liang jumped up and shouted:
"Someone robbed prison... people come! people come... some robbed prison..."
Ziwei and the other three struggled to stand up. Only then did they realize that Yongqi and others were coming to rob the prison and looked at each other in shock.
"Everyone, go! The carriage is waiting outside!" Liu Hong shouted.
Before everyone could leave, the officers and soldiers had already arrived.
Yongqi, Ertai, Erkang, Liu Qing, Liu Hong drew his sword, and the sword, and fought with the officers and soldiers. Seeing this situation, Xiaoyanzi was so shocked that she didn't care about the injuries on her body. She snatched a long sword from the prison guard and stabbed Master Liang with her backhand. Master Liang was shocked and ran away in a panic, shouting:
"Good luck to the heroine! Queen! Princess! Girls and Bodhisattvas..." While shouting, they ran away all over the room.
"It's useless to call me the King of Heaven now!" Xiaoyanzi shouted, chasing Lord Liang and slashing him with a sword. Lord Liang's sleeve immediately broke and a blood mark on his arm.
The second sword of Xiaoyanzi stabbed him again, and Lord Liang was so scared that he was running wildly and ran away in a mess.
"The Queen is lucky... I'm lucky... the little one is a turtle, it's not worth the Queen's dirty sword..."
The little swallow shouted angrily:
"You coward! I want to stab a hundred holes in you..." Another sword pierced into Lord Liang's shoulder. Little swallow drew his sword and stabbed him into Lord Liang's thigh with another sword.
Lord Liang fell to the ground, rolling all over the ground, howling wolf howled and screamed:
"Ouch! Kill people...just robbery..."
Erkang shouted urgently:
"Ziwei and Jinsuo can no longer support it. Don't fight, it's important to leave!"
Yongqi shouted to the injured Lord Liang who fell to the ground:
"Look clearly, it's me who robbed the prison today, the fifth prince! Don't deduct the crime to others!"
Erkang carried Ziwei, Liu Hong carried Jinsuo, Yongqi held Xiaoyanzi, and everyone rushed out.
Just when Erkang, Yongqi and Ertai were in a big fuss about the clan mansion, Qianlong could not wait to summon Fulun, Fuheng, Ji Xiaolan, and E Min into the palace and asked everyone frankly: "About the return of the Condor Princess, I believe you all know this whole incident! I have now locked Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei in the prison of the clan mansion. Although both of them said in unison that Ziwei was the princess, I don't know if I could trust them! I urgently summon all the virtuous ministers to the palace in hopes of knowing everyone's opinions! Fulun is the clearest about the case. Xiaolan, Fuheng, and E Min have all traveled with them. How should I deal with these two girls appropriately?"
Everyone bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak. Ji Xiaolan stood up and said:
"I dare to express my thoughts! This is the emperor's family matter. No matter how the emperor deals with it, there is no need to worry about everyone's opinions! Although the Princess Huanguo has the crime of deceiving the emperor, it is her nature! The Emperor is most aware of her naughtyness. The so-called kingly law must also take into account human nature! Since Princess Huanguo entered the palace, he often made the emperor laugh. His merits and demerits can be offset, but he will not die if he is guilty!"
Qianlong couldn't help but nodded:
"What about... Ziwei?"
Ji Xiaolan stared at Qianlong for a moment.
"Miss Ziwei, when the emperor was on a tour in a concealed manner, he was always at the side of the emperor, working hard and complaining, which made people very moved! As for the assassination, he was not something that ordinary people could do. At that time, the shock brought to the minister was very strong! Now that I think about it, I suddenly realized that the so-called "instinct" is probably the nature of father and daughter! The emperor himself should know more than anyone else!"
Qianlong was shocked and looked at Ji Xiaolan. Ji Xiaolan pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Your Majesty, I see the last page of a good book. Although it is a bit different from the ending I expected, I can't help but feel a little sad. But good books are good books. Looking at them from another perspective, they should be even more memorable! Two princesses, innocent and gentle, are the emperor's blessings! Why not forgive their small mistakes with a broad mind and enjoy their family love!"
Ji Xiaolan's words were like a revelation, completely awakening Qianlong, who was already soft-hearted.
Qianlong pondered for a moment before he woke up from a big dream:
"Yes! I always feel that the two of them are as kind as my hands, one on the left and one on the right, are part of my body and are inseparable from me! What's the real or fake? The most valuable thing is that kind of sincerity!"
When Fulun heard this, he stood up and bowed to his order:
"Miss Ziwei, since she was seriously injured, she has never fully recovered. The prison in the clan mansion is dark and wet, so it is probably not suitable to stay for a long time. If the emperor gives mercy, I wonder if he can let them out?"
Before Qianlong could answer, Ji Xiaolan also stepped forward and bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, poor two princes, who are weak, especially Miss Ziwei, who has just recovered from a serious illness, how can you withstand the troubles in prison?"
Qianlong was shocked, his heart was filled with blood, and it was hard to stop it, so he said hurriedly:
"Dear wise men, follow me out of the palace and go to the clan mansion to release those two girls in person!"
Everyone quickly responded to the "obey the order". Just as they were about to take action, they suddenly saw officers and soldiers running towards them and knelt down to report:
"Emperor! The fifth prince and the Fu brothers took the martial arts masters to the sect's mansion to rob the prison and rescued all three female prisoners!"
Qianlong was shocked.
"What? What?"
Fulun's face changed drastically.
There was a soldier with blood splashed on his body and knelt down to Qianlong and reported: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince and the Fu brothers, falsely passed the imperial edict, saying that the emperor had an order, and the Mission Princess and others entered the palace. When everyone received the edict, they injured the prison guard and Lord Liang, killed the guards, and kidnapped three criminals!"
