"Ling Yun, let me tell you, you will never see the emperor in your lifetime. You are just waiting to see Lord Yan!"
"Come here, we will be punished!"
In the torture hall of Dali Temple, Li Zhishan failed to interrogate Ling Yun, but was robbed and ridiculed by the other party. He couldn't help but become angry, slapped the wood on the table, and shouted sternly.
The wolf-like guards on both sides held up their canes and swarmed forward without any explanation, and held Ling Yun fiercely and roughly.
Li Zhishan's playful eyes looked at the person in front of him again. He didn't say a word, but slowly closed his eyes, and pursed his pale paper lips, waiting for the abuse that would be worse than death to come to him unscrupulously.
Seeing his expression of embarrassment and misery, Li Zhishan felt extremely happy - it was a full vent of long-suppressed jealousy and resentment.
"Ling Yun, aren't you Leng Ao Gu Qing? Aren't you arrogant and domineering? Don't worry, I will soon make you realize what it means to live worse than death, and what it means to lose your prestige!"
Everyone held their breath and remained silent, with a thick haze covering their faces. At that moment, the air around him seemed to have stopped.
Maybe it was God's favor, or maybe it was just a coincidence. At the critical moment, things suddenly took a turn that no one expected.
I just heard the flag official in the hall shout: "Princess Changqing has arrived!"
Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan couldn't help being frightened, thinking to themselves: "Why did Princess Chang Qing come here suddenly? It seems like things are about to get worse!"
Because the close relationship between Princess Chang Qing and Ling Yun is no longer a secret in the entire capital.
Although some time ago, Ling Yun had a serious dispute with his parents He Yuting and Princess Chang Qing due to the interference of Tian Xiao's people. Ling Yun even uttered harsh words in a decisive tone several times in public, severing family ties with them.
But no matter how noisy they were, in the eyes of outsiders like Li Zhishan, it was just a family matter.
As the saying goes, even if the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, no matter how stiff the fight is, the blood relationship between them can never be changed.
Now that they suddenly heard that Princess Chang Qing was coming, the two of them had a vague premonition that something was not going to happen, and they couldn't help but secretly cry out in pain.
Li Zhishan, in particular, was even more dissatisfied: It was just a little bit short, but something happened again at the critical moment!
Ding Jin was indeed a veteran in the officialdom, wily and tactful. He was also good at acting according to the situation and quickly ordered the guards who were about to be executed to let go of Ling Yun.
After being temporarily relieved, Ling Yun didn't feel the slightest bit happy in his heart. He was just stunned for a moment, and then struggled to stand up slowly, his back slightly bent and his head lowered. No one could see the emotional changes on his face clearly.
In fact, even he himself didn't know how he felt when he suddenly heard his mother's arrival.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of jingling rings, the sound of eager footsteps came from far away, and a vague and elegant fragrance also filled the air.
In response to the call, Princess Chang Qing walked in, surrounded by the housekeeper He Luwei, the maid Yancui, Biyun and dozens of servants and guards.
She was dressed in a gorgeous dress, with a dignified and beautiful face, and a pair of bright eyes like autumn water. Although she was over fifty years old, she still had picturesque features and unparalleled elegance. Her movements revealed an unconcealable grace and elegance as well as her innate talent. Noble temperament.
Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan quickly stood up to greet her and respectfully asked Princess Chang Qing to take her seat.
Princess Chang Qing snorted softly and sat down on the brocade pier that the guard carefully presented.
A humble smile appeared on Ding Jinzhi's greasy face, "I wonder if the princess is here, do you have any advice?"
There was a solemn look in Princess Chang Qing's eyes, and she said slowly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask Master Ding and Master Li for someone. I wonder if they can give me a favor?"
Ding Jinzhi swallowed hard, "May I ask who the princess is referring to?"
"You know what you're asking, you're such an old fox." Princess Chang Qing rolled her eyes almost invisible, complaining in her heart.
Without any prelude or foreshadowing, she directly raised her hand and pointed at Ling Yun and said: "He."
Her sharpness and straightforwardness broke away the softness and reserve in her body, leaving everyone present stunned.
Ling Yun slowly raised his eyes and looked at her in disbelief. For a moment, his mind went blank, as if no sound could be heard.
"Cough cough cough..." Shocked by the answer, Ding Jinzhi was so anxious that he couldn't even take a breath. It was stuck in his throat and he suppressed a string of coughs.
He never dreamed that Princess Chang Qing would come so directly, which made him a little at a loss.
Ding Jinzhi lowered his head to let himself breathe; then he shook his head vigorously, with a forced smile on his face, "Princess, you really know how to joke. This person is a prisoner of the imperial court, a rebellious and heinous traitor, princess." To actually demand this person in public, where does this place the national law?"
"Who said he was a treacherous traitor? Before all the facts of the case are clear, how can we make rash judgments?" Princess Chang Qing raised her phoenix eyebrows, her face full of disapproval.
"I'm telling you, before everything comes to light, if anyone dares to do anything disadvantageous to him, don't blame me for being rude to you!" As she said this, she stood up quickly, her delicate body moved sideways, and she resolutely guarded him. In front of Ling Yun.
"Princess, you...you..." Ding Jinzhi's expression changed from natural to extremely unnatural. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times. For a moment, he didn't know what to say and was stuck there.
Li Zhishan watched the changes in the situation in front of him with cold eyes, and his frown became a little tighter. His eyes were dark and dyed, and he twitched the corner of his lips and said: "I am not a talented person. I have heard some rumors about the relationship between the princess and Ling Yun - but who doesn't know that the princess has the highest status, majesty, virtue, and respect for the laws and etiquette of the country?" His perseverance has always been an example for the world.
"Now that the princess has ignored the laws of the country just for Ling Yun, and actually asked about the affairs of the court, isn't she afraid of being known as relying on power, partiality and perverting the law? Aren't she afraid of giving others a bad word and making the world laugh? ?”
Princess Chang Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Li, the crime you gave me is really not a small crime - but if I, Chang Qing, have no children because of this, have no one to support me, let alone enjoy a family relationship, wouldn't I be even more miserable? Ridiculous?"
Li Zhishan raised his eyebrows carelessly, with undisguised teasing in his tone, "The princess is really willing to risk everything for the sake of your son - the princess's love for licking the calf is enough to move the world and make all parents in the world move. How shameful!"
"Commander Li's words are serious. I am not as great as you said. I only do what a mother should do. But I am not as good as some people who will do anything for fame and power. They are cold-faced and cruel, and they are duplicitous and have no sense of humanity. nothing!"
How could Princess Chang Qing be the one who suffered the loss? She frowned and sneered in return.
"..." Li Zhishan's face turned red and white, and he was speechless by the other party's sharp words, so he could only hang his head in frustration.
Princess Chang Qing didn't bother to say any more nonsense to him at this time. She just turned her face and devoted all her energy and thoughts to the son in front of her whom she missed so much.
Ling Yun also looked at Princess Chang Qing longingly, her cold white jade face stained with a little blood, and a few strands of hair hanging down in front of her forehead.
With the cold white face, jet black hair, and the perfect contrast between black and white, the emotions shown on that handsome and spotless face were a picturesque mixture of vulnerability, confusion, relief... and touching.
You must know that you are now a treacherous and traitorous traitor; and if convicted, your death will be inevitable, and your relatives around you will be affected, and even the nine clans will be implicated.
In this situation, others would avoid her, but Princess Changqing defended herself without hesitation...
His thick eyelashes were clearly defined, and their gentle trembling seemed to bring up the wind. His eyes were no longer wet, and he said in a trembling voice: "Why bother, why are you like this..."
Princess Chang Qing slowly turned around, looking intently at her son's mist-filled eyes, and her eyes were filled with tears before she knew it.
"Lin'er, do you know that there is a kind of love in this world that is desperate and does not seek anything in return, and that is a mother's love for her child. Lin'er, for you, a mother can die..."
Ling Yun felt his heart twitching painfully. He looked at Princess Chang Qing silently, but he hesitated to speak...
At this time, the flag official in the hall shouted again: "The emperor has arrived!"
Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan trembled when they heard this, thinking to themselves: "What on earth is going on today? Now the princess, now the emperor, how come it is such a coincidence?"
Little did they know that what happened today was not a coincidence, but happened for a reason.
It turned out that after Ling Yun was taken away by Ding Jinzhi, Li Zhishan and others, Huanyu followed Zhao Yang's advice and hurried back to the Marquis' Mansion, crying to Princess Chang Qing about what happened today.
Princess Chang Qing was confused for a moment and murmured: "You mean Zhichao has been at the Jinling Palace these days? Then why didn't you tell me earlier? I went to the Palace a few days ago..."
Huanyu cried: "Mother, let's not talk about this now. We just want to think about how to rescue Zhichao! If Zhichao falls into their hands, there will be disaster..."
Princess Chang Qing was also confused at this time, as the saying goes, "If you don't care about things, you will be in chaos." Fortunately, Zhao Yang was calmer at this time and gave the two of them advice:
"The princess has high morals and high status. If you go to the torture hall at this time, you may be able to drag Ding Jinzhi and others to help the eldest son get out of the temporary predicament, and you can also buy some time for the prince to ask for help from the emperor - I wonder what the princess and the county will do? "
Princess Changqing and Princess Huanyu were panic-stricken at this time and had already lost their opinions. After hearing the advice of this resourceful confidant and family member, they could only nod their heads frequently, so the previous scene happened.
And how did the emperor come? …
