Snow is flying outside, and the house is brightly lit and warm.
Xu Shuxue was dressed in white and stood at the window, looking at the stars in the night sky outside. Her cold and beautiful face was filled with inexorable sadness.
As soon as the door opened, a figure walked in with a cold air.
As soon as he saw Xu Shuxue standing by the window, Lu Hongwen immediately took his cloak, walked over and put it on Xu Shuxue, and then closed the window.
"It's cold and windy today. No matter how you stand here blowing the wind, you're not afraid of getting cold."
"Get used to it, it'll be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shuxue couldn't help but cough twice. Lu Hongwen frowned and hurried out of the door, "Go and make some ginger soup."
"yes!"
When he turned back to the room and sat down next to Xu Shuxue, he sighed, "You must have heard about Sun Meng and waited for me specially!"
"I can't hide anything from you. What happened to Sun Meng?"
"It will be sent to the Supervision Department tomorrow!"
"With Prime Minister Zuo here, Sun Meng will definitely have no way out this time."
A fierce look flashed across Xu Shuxue's expression.
What came to mind was the scene on the streets ten years ago. Xiu Ze was running for his life covered in blood, with the Imperial Guard hotly pursuing him. The person who took the lead in identifying him was Sun Meng.
Then the sword fell, and her eyes dyed red with blood...
That day, her whole world became dark!
In the silence, Lu Hongwen noticed Xu Shuxue's sadness and murderous intention, and then poured out a cup of hot tea and handed it over.
"Don't worry, this time, I will be able to avenge you."
"Well, I know, I've been waiting for this day for too long!"
Knowing Xu Shuxue's heartache, Lu Hongwen only felt distressed in his eyes.
But there is nothing we can do!
In the end, it only turned into one sentence, "It's late at night. After you drink the ginger soup, you can rest. Sun Meng's side is all left to me."
"good!"
Seeing Xu Shuxue's promise, Lu Hongwen stood up and crossed the screen in the inner room. There was a small pavilion behind the bedroom.
There is a desk inside, and next to the desk, there is a bed.
For ten years, this has been his residence.
He looked at the bed outside the screen and frowned, "I gave you the blanket I brought back from the south. Isn't it useful?"
"It's easy to use, but I was lazy and didn't tell them to lay it out."
Hearing this, Lu Hongwen smiled helplessly, then stood up, took out the blanket from the cabinet inside, walked to the bed, and laid it out with his own hands.
"If you are afraid of the cold, you have to lay it down in winter."
Xu Shuxue looked at Lu Hongwen's figure with guilt in her eyes, and then just nodded, "Yes, I remember it!"
There was also a hint of sadness in the smile at the corner of his lips, and then he turned to look at the closed window with a strong expression that could not be transformed.
Lu Hongwen was very kind. Even though he knew that there was someone in her heart that she could never forget, he still treated her in every possible way.
But she couldn't respond.
Because the memory of him, who was so high-spirited and would make sweets for her in the middle of the night, has always been deep in her heart, and she can't get rid of it.
She was destined to always let down Lu Hongwen.
In the deep silence of the night, all thoughts are buried in this endless darkness.
Just as Lu Hongwen said, Shi Qinghuan met Sun Meng in the prison of the Supervision Department early the next morning.
Bailiheng personally interrogated Sun Meng on the grounds that the matter was of great importance. In fact, he found an excuse to allow Shi Qinghuan to participate.
In the dungeon, Sun Meng had been tortured by the punishment department. His body was covered with blood marks and he was in a miserable state.
At this moment, he was chained to a wooden stake, and at the door not far away, Bailiheng was sitting lazily aside, while Shi Qinghuan was sitting in the main seat, seeming to be looking at something, but remained silent.
It was such silence that made Sun Meng feel more and more uneasy, especially when Bailiheng was present. One look could make people tremble with fear.
"What exactly do you want to ask?"
"Hehehe..."
As soon as Sun Meng finished speaking, Shi Qinghuan chuckled, turned around, took the book in his hand, and walked to Bailiheng, "Hey, sir, do you think this young man is serious? How can he show his affection to a woman like this? "
"What about that?"
"In my opinion, if you really want to please someone, you need to be caring and considerate all the time. Those who spend thousands of dollars on the street always lack some heart in them."
Bailiheng and Shi Qinghuan were chatting to themselves, as if they didn't hear Sun Meng speak at all.
The most outrageous thing was that Sun Meng finally saw clearly what Shi Qinghuan was looking at.
It’s actually the latest popular thing in Kyoto, the storybook!
However, isn't this about trying him?
What's going on now?
Don't ask anything, just read the storybook here?
Sun Meng's expression changed several times, and he couldn't figure out what Shi Qinghuan meant. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and louder his voice.
"Aren't you going to judge me?"
Shi Qinghuan finally raised his head, but only glanced at him lightly, "It's just a dying person, what's the point of interrogating him?"
That look and expression showed that she really didn't want to care about him.
Sun Meng became anxious now, "But I was wrongly accused."
"There are all the witnesses and physical evidence. Even if you didn't mean it, the emperor's uncle still died because of your medicine. In this case, you are the murderer. Why bother struggling when you are about to die?"
"But...but I know a lot of things, and you're not going to dig them out?"
"What's there to dig out? Those things you know, you think we can't find out?"
"Then I still..."
Sun Meng wanted to continue to say something, but Shi Qinghuan turned around and interrupted, "I say Sun Meng, now that we have reached this point, you no longer need to find a chance to survive for yourself. Those of you who think you can negotiate with us The bargaining chip is not worth mentioning here, so you can just stay here and wait for the beheading."
After saying that, Shi Qinghuan frowned and looked at Bailiheng, "Sir, we have gone through some formalities today. Can we go out and read a book? It's really too cold here!"
"That's fine!"
The two of them stood up and walked out of the cell.
This posture really didn't give Sun Meng any chance.
Seeing this, Sun Meng hurriedly spoke the moment Shi Qinghuan closed the door.
"I'm useful, I'm still useful."
Seeing Shi Qinghuan stop closing the door, Sun Meng said anxiously, "I have evidence of King Feng's crime. I know that Mr. Zuo Xiang and King Feng are incompatible. As long as you can save my life this time, I will also wish you a helping hand."
Bailiheng stood sideways and sneered, "You are just a small soldier joining the army. There is evidence of King Feng's crime. Do you think I am easy to deceive?"
"I don't dare, I definitely don't dare to lie to you, Prime Minister Zuo."
"If you have something to say, we adults will consider it ourselves!"
Shi Qinghuan shouted coldly from the side, and Sun Meng immediately told everything.
"It's about the Zhengyang Rebellion. Everything was actually planned by King Maple. I followed orders and entered the Protector's Mansion. Later, I launched a palace coup and tried to bite back. In fact, the Protector's Mansion had no intention of rebelling at all. , everything is just King Maple’s own plan!”
Hearing this, Shi Qinghuan became cold. "Do you think we don't know this? If there is nothing that can make us stay, your chance will be gone!"
"No, I have a letter. King Maple is very cautious. He only asks his subordinates to pass on the message every time to avoid leaving evidence. But in the past five years, I still took the opportunity to leave a letter. In this letter , it is clear that everything is planned by King Maple."
