Wu Chengsi has never panicked since he read Wu Chengsi's memory. Although Wu Zetian was not good to her two brothers, she loved her two nephews very much.
Even if Wu Chengsi really killed someone, he believed that Empress Wu would save him, let alone the person who was not killed by him!
As long as you meet her once, tell her the situation at that time, and tell her your judgment on the case, it should be fine.
That's how it should be.
Who would have thought that Wu Zetian would not see him!
This is a bad sign. Although we don’t know how the situation will change, it is no longer advisable to continue waiting. We must save ourselves now!
The breakthrough point is still Empress Wu, we must find a way to let her see him!
After returning to the cell in Dali Temple, Wu Chengsi walked around in the cell, thinking hard about how to save himself. In a cell not far from him, Di Renjie sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw a woman in red standing outside the prison door.
"Brother Di, I'm sorry, I have caused trouble to you." The woman in red lowered her eyes with a sad expression.
"Miss Zheng, please don't say that. It's Mr. Di who is too useless to bring him to justice and avenge your family." Di Renjie whispered.
"No, I know that the thief is the queen's nephew. If you can put him in prison, you have done your best. Let me finish the rest by myself." The woman in red said resolutely.
"Miss Zheng, what do you want to do?" Di Renjie was shocked and stood up hurriedly.
"I'm going to kill him with my own hands!"
After saying that, the woman in red walked towards the depths of the cell. Di Renjie's expression changed drastically and he said anxiously: "Miss Zheng, stop quickly, you don't have to risk your life for him!"
Several jailers heard the movement and looked over.
Without saying a word, the woman in red walked step by step to the door of Wu Chengsi's prison, glaring at the enemy who had ruined her family.
"Sister, who are you looking for? Ah... By the way, can you do me a favor and send a message to the outside world?" Wu Chengsi said in confusion.
"You little thief! Die!" The woman in red pulled out the sword from her waist and cut off the door lock with one strike.
The warders who were looking around were shocked and ran towards them one after another. However, the woman in red had already kicked open the cell door and entered the cell with a sword.
Wu Chengsi's psychological quality has always been good. Although he was not panicked, he quickly rolled to the side and dodged the first sword. However, since he did not know martial arts, he could not dodge the second sword no matter what.
Seeing the sword stabbing his throat, a copper coin suddenly shot out, swinging the sword away. A black shadow entered the cell as fast as a meteor and started fighting with the woman in red.
The two people walked back and forth in the narrow environment, their figures intertwined, and it didn't take long for the woman in red to be restrained by the other party.
The one who fought with her was a man in black. After he handed the woman in red to the jailer and locked her up, he held his hands to Wu Chengsi and said, "My lord, I've frightened you."
Wu Chengsi was indeed shocked, because he did not know this woman at all, but the man who rescued him recognized her as Nie Ziyun, one of the four chief ministers of Dali Temple, who was usually quite respectful to Wu Chengsi.
Wu Chengsi looked at the woman in red, and an idea came to him quietly, and he hurriedly said: "Nie Sicheng, can you call my housekeeper over?"
"Wu Chengsi! You thief, even if I act like a ghost, I won't let you go!" the woman in red said sternly.
Nie Ziyun cut her neck with his palm, and the woman in red immediately fainted. She turned to Wu Chengsi and said, "My father-in-law has an order, and I should obey it."
After saying that, he escorted the woman in red and walked out the door.
When passing Di Renjie's cell, Di Renjie said in a deep voice: "Nie Sicheng, please, for Di's sake, don't embarrass this Miss Zheng."
"I have my own sense of proportion." Nie Ziyun replied calmly.
…
When housekeeper Wen Rong entered the cell, more than an hour had passed since the woman in red was taken away.
"My lord, you don't have to worry. My subordinates have passed the Jinwu Guards to report your situation to the Queen. I believe you will be able to come out soon!" The middle-aged scribe was not aware of the change in the situation, so he comforted her.
Wu Chengsi didn't talk nonsense with him and said straight to the point: "Do you have paper and pen?"
Wen Rong was startled for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't have it, but I can go to the jailer to ask for it. I'm afraid they won't dare not give it to me."
"Go on...wait and get some more pig blood."
"...I understand, my subordinates."
Wen Rong worked very efficiently. It didn't take long before he brought all the things Wu Chengsi needed and arranged them neatly on a tray.
The pig's blood was put in a porcelain bowl. Wu Chengsi stirred it with his fingers and found that the blood was still hot. He didn't know where Wen Rong got it from.
He dipped his fingers in pig blood and wrote a few large characters on the paper. Affected by Wu Chengsi's health, the handwriting looked better than before.
"Take this blood letter to the Queen immediately!" After finishing writing, Wu Chengsi said solemnly.
Wen Rong didn't ask more about the reason, but just asked for instructions: "My lord, I can only ask Jin Wuwei to help you deliver it. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate. Why don't you go find Uncle Yingzhou or Uncle Le Shou and ask them to help you pass it into the palace?"
Hit it?"
The uncle of Yingzhou was Wu Sansi, and the uncle of Leshou was Wu Youji. They were both cousins of Wu Chengsi, and they had the best relationship with Wu Chengsi among the children of the Wu family.
Wu Chengsi was influenced by the TV series and was a little repelled by Wu Sansi, so he said: "Then let Wu Youji pass it on to me."
Wen Rong agreed, took the blood letter and left. He rode a carriage all the way to Le Shou Bo's Mansion. After saying a few words to the housekeeper, he was welcomed into the side hall.
More than an hour later, Wu Youji, who served as a general in Jinwu Guard, received the news and hurried back to his residence, took the blood letter from Wen Rong and went straight to the palace.
When he arrived at Zichen Hall, he was blocked.
"Uncle Le Shou, the empress is dealing with official business and has no time to see you. She asked you to work well at Jinwu Guard and not to worry about other things." Female officer Xie Yaohuan said.
Wu Youji had been in the army for many years and had always acted simply. Seeing that he could not meet the queen, he turned around and left. After leaving the palace, he went all the way to Princess Taiping's mansion.
He is Princess Taiping's distant cousin, and the two have always had a good relationship. After the announcement, they entered the lobby of the princess's mansion. After waiting for a short time, Princess Taiping Li Lingyue walked out of the ear door.
"Fifth cousin, how come you have time to see me today?" Princess Taiping Nian Fang is only fifteen, but she is already very beautiful, and her voice is very sweet and sweet.
Wu Youji stood up and said quickly: "Second brother, something happened."
Among the Wu family's children, Wu Chengsi ranked second, and Wu Youji ranked fifth, so he was called Wu Chengsi's second brother.
"Really?" Princess Taiping acted very coldly, walked to a brocade chair and sat down, gently shaking her round fan.
"He is imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison. I need your help." Wu Youji said straightforwardly.
Princess Taiping yawned lazily and said leisurely: "No way, who is so bold as to put him in prison?"
"It's Di Renjie!" Wu Youji gritted his teeth and said.
"Hehe, it's him. I heard that this person doesn't avoid the powerful when investigating cases, and he is a rare good official. It seems that the rumors are true." Princess Taiping pursed her lips and smiled.
There was a little more anger in Wu You's eyebrows.
Princess Taiping smiled and said: "I am telling the truth, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Wu Youji took out the blood letter and handed it over: "Help me give this to the Queen." Compared with Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, Wu Youji and Wu Zetian were separated by a generation, so they did not dare to address each other as aunt.
After Princess Taiping smelled the smell of blood, she wrinkled her nose and said, "Know your courtesy."
A palace maid next to her responded, reached out to take the blood book, and folded it carefully.
"It's rare that you come here today, why don't we go to Liyuan and play jiju together? Our polo team has been training very hard recently!" Princess Taiping invited with a smile.
Juju, also known as polo, is a game of hitting Cuju immediately. Compared with Cuju, it was more popular among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Youji was a master of Juju, and Princess Taiping even raised a polo team, which she often
Compete against teams from other mansions.
Wu Youjixuan frowned and said: "Why do we still play Juju now? You should quickly take this thing to the Queen. I will play with you to the full someday!"
Princess Taiping shook her head and said: "The Queen must be reviewing the memorials now. At this time, she is usually not in a good mood."
"When will your mood improve?" Wu Youji asked urgently.
"It's usually best after dinner and after listening to Xie Yaohuan's piano music."
Wu Youji was silent for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to Dali Temple to meet my second brother first." After saying that, he stood up and left.
"You are harming him by going to him now." Princess Taiping hurriedly called to him, rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Originally, this matter was relatively hidden. Even I didn't know about it beforehand. If you went to see him, it would only attract the attention of other people. Whether it reaches the ears of the crown prince brother or the father, it will have no effect on your second brother.
Very beneficial!"
Wu Youji nodded repeatedly, but there was still a worried expression on his face.
Princess Taiping sighed and said, "You fool, if you were caught, your cousin wouldn't be as anxious as you are."
Wu Youji shook his head and did not agree with Princess Taiping's words, but he did not refute it.
"That's all, since you care about him so much, let's go into the palace immediately and go find Xie Yaohuan first."
"What are you doing with her?" Wu Youji asked in confusion.
"Of course I want her to choose a sadder song when she plays the piano for her mother later!" Princess Taiping replied with a smile.
"Why?" Wu You was stunned.
"How stupid! Whoever is in a sentimental state should be more polite!"
