Taifu Lu was thrown into prison, and Lu Zhilan hurriedly asked to see Leng Xiao outside the East Palace.
Ape originally wanted to shirk it by saying that the princess was in confinement, but Leng Xiao spoke and asked Lu Zhilan to come in.
When Lu Zhilan saw Leng Xiao, she was so anxious that she cried. She knelt on the ground and begged: "Princess, please be sure to save my grandfather. When my grandmother learned about this, she fainted and there was chaos in the house." There’s nothing we can do about it, it’s the emperor’s personal order.”
Leng Xiao, wearing a warm hat on her head, was lying on the imperial concubine's couch, looking tired and exhausted, and sighed, "Get up. I guess the emperor will not really punish your grandfather, but just want him to suffer a little. So as to frighten those who plead for mercy in the court."
"How can he endure the hardships of the Heavenly Prison at his age? I also asked Zimo, and he said that the prison in the Heavenly Prison is very bad. The guards are brutal, the food is rotten, and cockroaches and rats are infested. Alas, when has he ever suffered like this? crime?"
As Lu Zhilan spoke, she burst into tears sadly.
Leng Xiao said helplessly: "The prince is already thinking of a way. Even if he can't be rescued for a while, he will take care of the people in the prison to treat him well. You can make your family feel at ease. Maybe after the Queen's funeral, His Highness will go to the funeral in compliance with the order." , they will let him out."
Lu Zhilan wiped away her tears, raised her head and asked, "Does His Highness really want to guard the mausoleum? Three years. If you don't come back in three years, what will you and the emperor's grandson do?"
"There is nothing we can do about it. The emperor knows that His Highness respects his master and cannot bear the suffering of the Taifu, so he arrested the Taifu and sent him to the prison to force him to obey the order and guard the mausoleum. Your Highness has no choice but to go."
Lu Zhilan murmured: "But how could it be like this? Why does the emperor treat His Highness like this? Doesn't he love His Highness's son the most? In the past, whenever something happened in the East Palace, the Emperor would send someone to ask, that kind of Everyone can see that you care, but I really can’t understand why it’s like this.”
"Don't say that you can't understand. I'm afraid your grandfather can't understand either. But maybe this is because the king's heart is unpredictable. You can go back and comfort your family. Your Highness has asked someone to take care of him in prison. In a month, Your Highness will leave the city to guard the mausoleum. Your grandfather can go home."
"Really?" Lu Zhilan's eyes were filled with tears. It was so sudden that she didn't know how to deal with it, and her family was helpless. Her grandfather had been in the court for many years and had a certain status. In the past, the emperor had never even tried to reprimand him, but suddenly he If you go to prison, why don't you scare people?
"I can guarantee it." Leng Xiao said.
After Lu Zhilan heard this, she slowly stood up and asked Leng Xiao if she could see the emperor's grandson. Leng Xiao asked someone to bring him over to show her.
Lu Zhilan looked very envious and wished she could have such a lovely child.
The Crown Princess is a lucky person, but she hasn't seen much good. Things in the East Palace have never been settled.
After Lu Zhilan left, Ape stepped forward and asked: "Princess, I guess the emperor will arrest people from the small court in the East Palace for an excuse. If their families come to ask, they will disturb your confinement and disappear from there." "
Leng Xiao shook his head, "Ape, they followed His Highness. They are His Highness's ministers. Because His Highness was imprisoned and his family didn't know what we had planned, they must have felt anxious as if they had suffered a disaster. If I can comfort them, They feel at ease, what does it matter if they are tired?”
"That would be too hard." Ape couldn't bear it. The Crown Princess had not stopped since she gave birth to her grandson.
"You ask someone to make some soup for His Highness and let him come back later to drink it. He will be very tired recently."
Apei felt sorry for Leng Xiao, but Leng Xiao felt most sorry for Nangong Yitian. Before he could adjust to the pain of losing his mother, he had to deploy defense and offense.
