"The Yulin Army dragged Geng Zhuo down this morning and didn't put him back at all. The emperor asked someone to ask him if he knew he was wrong. He didn't know why, so he was sentenced to prison." Cai Yi touched his forehead. sweat and anxious.

The so-called edict prison is a place where edicts are issued directly to people without going through Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

Xiao Chengjun sat down behind the desk and said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone who can write to me to plead for mercy?"

"Many people have already handed over the coupons, but the emperor just threw them aside and didn't even look at them." Cai Yi was anxious, "The palace door has been locked, and the left minister wanted to come in to plead for mercy, but he was stopped."

Today's imperial prison is the sphere of influence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Today, Geng Zhuo has offended Shen Lian. How can there be any good fruit to eat after entering there? It can be said that the official is the one who guides the king's behavior. Even the grumpy Taizu did not move. With just one finger from the official, if the censor makes any mistakes today, I am afraid it will anger all the officials and the consequences will be disastrous.

Xiao Chengjun was silent for a moment, sighed slowly, and stood up, "I'm going to see my father." As the crown prince of the country, he must advise his father on major matters of right and wrong.

"It is most appropriate for Your Highness to go see the Emperor," Cai Yi also calmed down, "It's just that the Emperor is still angry, so Your Highness should not harm yourself."

Xiao Chengjun took a deep look at Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shifu who was in his early thirties, and nodded slowly. Although Cai Yi had a short temper, he had an extremely accurate view of the pros and cons of the matter. He really couldn't be persuaded. You must die, otherwise you will be jealous of your father.

"Prince Concubine, the Crown Prince wants you to eat first, there is no need to wait." Chang En asked people to place the food outside the Eight Phoenix Palace, and then came in through the hall.

"I know." Lou Jing waved his hand, got up from the bed, sat down at the dining table and picked up his rice bowl. He felt bad when he thought of the small spoon Xiao Chengjun gave him at noon.

"His Royal Highness's chariot has left the East Palace. I heard that it is going to see the emperor." Le Xian, who was standing aside serving dishes, whispered in a low voice.

Lou Jing glanced at the smiling Le Xian. Not only did the little eunuch look happy, he was also quite clever. "Instruct the kitchen to heat up the porridge so that it can be used when the prince comes back."

"Yes!" Le Xian happily agreed, and the Crown Princess began to tell him what to do. She was planning to use him. As long as she performed well, she would be the deputy general manager in the future when the Crown Princess presided over the affairs of the East Palace.

Xiao Chengjun first went to Panlong Hall, the emperor's bedroom, and learned that Emperor Chunde was not in the palace, but went to Luanyi Palace. He went to the harem so early? His Royal Highness frowned. He could go to the harem, but Chen To be honest, he really didn't want to go there, because no matter what he tried to persuade his father, Concubine Chen would definitely say something unfavorable to him.

"You go to Luanyi Palace to report that I have something important to see my father." After sending Anshun to report, Xiao Chengjun told the chariot to turn to the imperial study. It is better to discuss important national affairs in the study.

The Imperial Study Room is not far from Panlong Hall. At this time, the lights have already started to be lit. The lights are bright inside, but there is no one there.

Xiao Chengjun walked in, looked at the pile of memorials piled on the desk, and sighed softly.

On the wall behind the dragon-carved wooden chair, there is also an inscription written by the late emperor Ruizong - Diligent in politics and loyal to principles. The late emperor was benevolent and never used imperial edicts in his more than 40 years of reign. Anyone who is guilty must have conclusive evidence before he can be found. He could be imprisoned according to the law, but during the ten years of Emperor Chunde's reign, no fewer than ten ministers died in the imperial edict alone.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Emperor Xuan, went to Luanyi Palace to meet the Holy Spirit." The gentle and smiling voice was none other than Huaizhong, the eunuch beside Emperor Chunde.

Xiao Chengjun, who was standing with his hands behind his hands, turned around, glanced at Huaizhong, who was always smiling, and sighed secretly in his heart. At least his father knew how to ask the big eunuch to call him, and didn't just ask the little eunuch to run errands. Thinking like this, he felt in his heart

He felt a bit sad and said, "Let's go." Without further words, he walked out of the imperial study room first.

Luanyi Palace has just been renovated in the spring. From a distance, it looks magnificent and even more luxurious than Fengyi Palace.

Emperor Chunde met the prince in the main hall of Luanyi Palace and asked, "What's the matter?" Apparently he had just had dinner, and the palace maid served him hot tea after the meal.

"Father, my son and I have heard, Yushi Geng Zhuo..." Before Xiao Chengjun could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a cold snort from Emperor Chunde.

"Hmph, he spoke rudely to me, is it possible that I can't even punish a mere third-rank minister?" Emperor Chunde had obviously seen the memorials in the Imperial Study Room.

"Father," Xiao Chengjun took a deep breath and tried his best to speak in a gentle tone, "the censor is also a minister, so my father will naturally be punished, but officials have always been outspoken, so don't argue with me."

"I don't care about him," Emperor Chunde knocked his cup on the table, "As long as he admits his mistake, the matter will be over. If he doesn't admit his mistake, should I admit it with him?"

"In the third year of Jianyuan, Taizu went to the night pool to have fun. Zhang Shuo, the royal censor, broke into the palace and stood by the night pool and cursed for an hour. Taizu listened naked in the night pool and rewarded him with ten pieces of brocade.

Taizu said, 'Don't be afraid of the censor, fear the history books.'" Xiao Chengjun's tone was still calm and steady, "Father, the censor may not be right, but if the emperor punishes the censor, the history books will speak ill of the emperor.

.It is not a pity for the censor to die alone, but his death has ruined the reputation of the father, and the gain outweighs the loss."

After finishing his long words, the prince did not kneel down and ask the emperor to think again. He just stood with a bow, as if he was just making a suggestion.

Emperor Chunde was silent for a long time, "That's all, I will release Geng Zhuo tomorrow."

"Father, Holy Ming!" Xiao Chengjun knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Chunde.

Lou Jing waited for the prince for two hours, but no one came back. She rolled around on the large bed in boredom, and suddenly saw the Duobaoge embedded in the wall, where Xiao Chengjun got the medicine yesterday. I don't know.

What else is in there?

The Duobao grid on the bed is not large, with nine small grids scattered around, three of which have small doors with red lacquer carvings. In the grids without doors, there are some jade carvings to ward off evil spirits, and the bases are embedded in them.

, in case it falls and hits someone at night.

This is also his room, so you can rummage around. Lou Jing sat up and opened a small cupboard door with great interest. There were several small lacquered boxes carved with plum blossoms and branches, and he picked up one of them.

Playing with it in hand, this thing is really effective in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. I might as well take this with me when I go to the battlefield in the future.

Putting down the small box, she opened another cabinet door. There seemed to be nothing inside. Lou Jing put her hand in and touched it. Only then did she realize that it was not empty. There was just a book lying flat. The compartment was smaller than it looked.

It is larger, and the bottom is recessed. The books are placed at the bottom. From the outside, it looks like there is nothing there. This is strange. Who puts books like this?

He took out the book smoothly. It had a blue cover with the word "Yang Gong" written on it in a rather fancy font. Lou Jing didn't know why. He opened the page and his eyes widened immediately. It wasn't accounts.

It's not a secret history, but a painting, two men sketched with fine brush strokes...

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and His Royal Highness came back.

Lou Jing closed the book slowly, put it back in the grid, and closed the cabinet door.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" It was already high in the moonlight. Xiao Chengjun thought that the princess had already slept. He originally wanted to go back to Chongren Palace, but he also felt that it would be very disadvantageous for Lou Jing not to stay with the princess on the second day of the wedding, so he came back.

, who would have expected that this man was sitting on the bed in high spirits, waiting for him.

"Princess, the porridge is ready." Before Lou Jing could speak, Le Xian's voice sounded outside the door.

Lou Jing curled her lips, this little eunuch is really good at doing things, "Bring it in."

Le Xian placed a bowl of red date porridge and a plate of side dishes on the tea table in the inner room, bowed and left.

"How do you know I haven't eaten?" Xiao Chengjun looked at the food on the table and felt warm in his heart.

"Your Highness is in such a hurry that you won't have time to eat." Lou Jing smiled and got out of bed, raising her hand to help His Highness remove the silver crown from his head, "Go and take a bath quickly."

After bathing, the hot porridge is just right for the mouth. It is already late, and eating too much will make you hungry, but if you don't eat, you will definitely be hungry at night, so this bowl of porridge is just right.

Xiao Chengjun's originally heavy mood was relieved by this bowl of porridge.

"Come back tomorrow, you should go to bed early." His Royal Highness climbed onto the bed, looking at Lou Jing who still looked bad, feeling a little sorry in his heart.

"Aren't you waiting for His Highness to apply medicine on me?" Lou Jing smiled and took out the unused box of "Eliminating Accumulation and Blood Stasis Ointment" and stuffed it into Xiao Chengjun's hand.

Seeing this box with plum blossoms and branches, Xiao Chengjun was a little embarrassed, "You still want to use this medicine?"

Lou Jing chuckled, took off his underwear and lay down, "I have never seen a better ointment than this. Since it can heal injuries, it doesn't matter what it does."

Xiao Chengjun hesitated for a moment and opened the lid. This medicine is indeed more effective than ordinary wound medicine. Moreover, using this medicine will not arouse suspicion and save a lot of trouble. With the ointment on his finger, he scratched the red and purple

My back does look better than last night. If it continues like this, it should be healed in a few days.

After returning home from the third day, there was still a lot to do tomorrow. The two of them applied medicine, washed their hands, blew out the lamp and had a rest.

Lou Jing had an injury on his back. He had been sleeping on his stomach for half a month. His neck hurt every day. Today he really didn’t want to sleep on his stomach anymore, so he forced himself to lie on his side. Only then did he realize that His Highness the Crown Prince still had his eyes open and his head straight.

Look at the top of the bed.

Xiao Chengjun was actually very worried about leaving Geng Zhuo in jail for a night, but there was only so much he could do.

"Can't you sleep?" Lou Jing propped up her head with one hand and leaned over to look at him, "Don't worry, my father-in-law won't make things difficult for you. He still has to kowtow to his son...son-in-law." She originally wanted to say that she was talking about her daughter-in-law.

But His Highness the Crown Prince is so serious, he might annoy people, so he should be more honest. He, Lou Jing, has always been aware of current affairs.

Xiao Chengjun turned to look at him, "Why did your father beat you?"

"Your Highness, if you ask this now, are you trying to punish me?" Lou Jing came closer and gave His Highness the Crown Prince a look of fear. Wasn't it because Lou Jianyu hit him because he didn't want to marry the Crown Prince?

"I won't punish you," Xiao Chengjun said helplessly, "I'm just curious as to why Duke An Guo would agree to marry you to me. In fact, as long as he doesn't want to, my father will just go along with the situation and change the person."
