Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth eight days prison visit
"The general doesn't know this," the Forbidden Army officer replied cautiously.
"Lights on!"
"Yes, yes, I will light the lamp right now." The soldiers of the Forbidden Army did not dare to slack off and hurriedly lit up the lamp.
The wind lantern cut through the darkness, and a figure in the corner of the prison next to Li Luo hid back in fright, seeming to be more afraid of seeing the light of fire.
Li Luo felt a chill in his heart. The figure in front of him could not be described as decadent. It seemed like a pile of mud. If there were no signs of trembling, it would be almost the same as the corruption and filth deep in the Tianlao.
Li Luojian raised his eyebrows and glanced at the Forbidden Army soldiers beside him. The Forbidden Army soldiers nodded quickly and indicated that this person was Li Xuanxu, King of Mingwu.
Li Luo suppressed the chill in his heart, took two steps forward, and called out in a low voice: "Third brother, it's me."
The figure moved, but still did not dare to walk to the bright place shrouded in lights.
Li Luo took a breath, his voice was slightly louder, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Dagan Li Luo, please see King Mingwu."
Only then did the figure turn his head. With the faint light, Li Luo's heart sank. He didn't expect that Li Xuanxu would be so helpless, depressed and depressed.
When Li Luo left Zhuocheng, Li Xuanxu was still high-spirited and scolded Fang Qiu, the prince's leader. Now his face was pale, his body was dirty, his eyes were devoid of any sparkle, he was as gray as a corpse, and he was as deported as a royal should be.
It has long since disappeared, leaving only the fear and timidity that lasts all day long.
Li Luo called out again in a deep voice, and Li Xuanxu's eyes gradually showed some clarity. He scrambled to the prison door, grabbed Li Luo, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, please help me."
, three...I was wronged."
"Third brother, calm down." Li Luo grabbed Li Xuanxu's arm with his backhand, slowly channeled the inner energy of the Bingxin Jue, stabilized Li Xuanxu's agitated mind, turned to the Forbidden Army soldiers behind him and said in a deep voice, "You guys go out first, if anyone comes
, you are not allowed to come in until you get permission."
"General, I obey the order." Several Forbidden Army officers looked at each other, bowed, and retreated.
"Ninth brother, you must save me. No one can save third brother except you." Li Xuanxu burst into tears and cried bitterly.
"Third brother, don't panic. With the emperor here, we will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."
"Father?" Li Xuanxu was startled, his face turned ashen, and he murmured to himself, "It's impossible. Father will never forgive me. Father will definitely kill me."
"Third brother." Li Luo couldn't bear to say, "If the emperor wanted to kill you now, he wouldn't have let me come to see you."
"Ah, did your father ask you to come to see me?"
Li Luo sighed secretly. At this time, he could only make excuses to calm Li Xuanxu's mood, and then make plans after asking for the reason. He then nodded lightly.
Li Xuanxu burst into tears and cried out sadly: "Father, Xu'er knows that he was wrong. Father, please spare Xu'er."
"Third brother, what exactly happened that day? You also know that the emperor is very angry right now. If you know anything, tell the truth and I will tell the emperor. Maybe there will be a turn for the better."
"I, I don't know how it became like this."
"No rush, third brother, please speak slowly."
Li Xuanxu stabilized his mind and said intermittently: "On the eighth day of last month, yes, it was the eighth day of last month. I hosted a banquet in Chaoyang Palace for several generals in the court.
Unexpectedly, I drank too much. I can’t remember who came up with the idea to go to Yuezhu Lake to see the scenery. I just remember that there were many people there, and I drank a few more drinks at Yuezhu Lake. In the end, I was the only one left.
Already.
I just wanted to go back to Chaoyang Palace, but I didn’t know how I ended up at Beizhu Palace. When I woke up, I saw me lying on Fu Fei’s bed, and Fu Fei hanged herself naked from the beam.”
After Li Xuanxu finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then swallowed and continued: "I, I was frightened and just wanted to leave. But before I walked out of Beizhu Palace, my father came over with the palace guards, and I also
I don’t know how such a thing could happen, Xuanlou, you must believe me, the third brother really didn’t do anything casual.”
Li Luo asked in detail who was at the banquet that day, when he went to Yuezhu Lake, when he arrived at Beizhu Palace, and what happened in between.
Li Xuanxu's words were incoherent, and his mind went blank. He might have seen something, but he was so frightened by what happened next that he forgot all about it.
Li Luo compared the situation that Li Xuanxu was describing intermittently with the documents and documents he had just seen. There was no discrepancy in time. He had indeed been to Yue Zhu Lake, but the generals in the court who had hosted the banquet had all left the palace, so there was no falsehood.
Li Luo sighed in his heart. He had just solved the corruption case of Shangzheng Yamen. He was trying to win over the generals in the court with such great fanfare. Not to mention Li Luo, even Emperor Wanlong would be alienated if he saw it.
Li Xuanxu wanted to do this himself, but there was someone behind him who was pushing him to do it. He was afraid that he might not have time for Li Luo to find out.
"Yes, Ninth Brother, my personal eunuch Ling Xiao has been following me. If you ask him, he must know that I did not go to Beizhu Palace." Li Xuanxu said quickly with a glimmer of hope.
"Third brother, you drank so much that day, why did everyone around you disappear? This is so strange."
"I don't know, Xuanlou, I can't remember anything. Whenever I think about it, my mind feels like there are ten thousand ants biting me. It hurts so much. Xuanlou, please get me out. Third brother really can't wait."
Go down." Li Xuanxu cried.
"Third brother, did you feel anything strange about the wine you drank or the food you ate that day?"
"How do I know this? Ask Ling Xiao or the attendants in my palace. I really can't remember it. Don't ask me." Li Xuanxu yelled.
Li Luo looked at Li Xuanxu quietly, his brows furrowed, he really had no clue about the situation in front of him.
Li Xuanxu saw Li Luo's expression and shouted angrily: "Xuanlou, don't you believe me? You also think that I, Li Xuanxu, am so lustful and crazy that I won't even spare my father's concubines!"
Li Luo shook his head and said, "I believe..."
"Then why did you only ask me and not anyone else? Yes, you think of me the same way. I am the prince, and my father wants to make me the prince. You are afraid that I will take away the power in your hands and plan with them.
You're hurting me, you say, aren't you!?" Li Xuanxu grabbed Li Luo's arm tightly, and his nails dug into Li Luo's skin and flesh.
The blood flowed out, and Li Luo didn't feel any pain, but he still felt the tiredness he was now familiar with.
"Third brother, I just came back to Zhuocheng today, how could I harm you? Even if I am in Zhuocheng, I still have no intention of harming you."
"Then why don't you tell your father that I am innocent and that I was framed. My father listens to you the most. Don't think that I don't know. If the palace had convicted me, I would have died long ago. My father had not killed me.
, He must be waiting for you to come back, why don't you save me!" Li Xuanxu shouted loudly.
