Liu He did not reply to his words, but asked, "You are a dignified household minister, why do you need to be so polite to a few jailers?"
After hearing this, Yu Zhengde immediately said angrily, "You think I am willing, but you know that if I hadn't used my past kindness to threaten you, I wouldn't have been able to get in.
Did you do the Huangshaling incident, or did you offend someone?
I originally had a good relationship with Xie Shangshu and wanted to go his way, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even get in through the door of Xie's mansion.
There are also quite a few people with whom I had good friendships in the past. I heard that they were related to your matter, but they didn’t even give me a chance to speak. This is the first time that I have been in trouble in this way for many years in the officialdom. "
Liu He looked at him silently, as if sizing up his expression to determine whether what he said was true or false.
There is a commotion outside now, and the queen must be hoping that Yu Zhengde will come to the prison as soon as possible and be the scapegoat for that matter.
Xie Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is the queen's brother, and the Ministry of Justice is the queen's territory. If Yu Zhengde comes, the queen will definitely find a way to facilitate it.
How can we enter into difficulties as Yu Zhengde said?
But she just watched Yu Zhengde politely stuffing money into several jailers.
There was a hint of suspicion in her eyes, maybe Yu Zhengde did it for her.
But why did Yu Zhengde do this to her?
"Speak, I don't have much time to stay." Yu Zhengde looked outside the cell with anxious eyes.
"Liu He, I originally thought that as long as you didn't do that thing, I would try to save your life even if I had all the connections in the Yu family.
But now it seems that, no matter whether you did it or not, I can't save you in the Huangshaling incident. It's obvious that someone above wants your life.
I don't have that powerful ability, so I can only try my best to protect your child, which can make up for the debt I owe back then.
If you agree, I will deal with it and make sure to protect your child. If you don't agree and threaten you with what happened back then, then there is nothing I can do.
You only met her about what happened back then, and there is no other evidence other than you. I can complain of injustice. It will be up to you whether Your Majesty will believe you, a dying person, or me. "
Liu He remained silent.
"You can just nod or shake your head when you speak." Yu Zhengde stamped his feet anxiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a jailer coming in a hurry, "Please leave with me quickly, someone is coming."
"I understand." Yu Zhengde returned to the jailer and said to Liu He, "Can you just say a word?"
Liu He saw that his face turned the color of pig's liver with worry, and then he said, "Save my child."
Regardless of whether Yu Zhengde is acting or not, it is a good thing that her children can leave here early.
"Sure." Yu Zhengde breathed a sigh of relief, and then said sternly, "Since you have agreed, some things are rotten in your stomach, otherwise don't blame me for ignoring our childhood friendship and killing people to silence them!"
Kill and silence!
These four words shocked Liu He's heart. The words of the male voice just now also meant the same.
Although she didn't believe it, there was a truth to it. She also understood that only the dead could keep secrets. Otherwise, why would she kill Nanny Chen.
She suddenly felt uneasy. Seeing Yu Zhengde leaving with the jailer, she hurriedly grabbed the cell door and said, "Rescue my child first."
She could kill Nanny Chen, who had been following her for decades, and the Queen might also kill her.
In her panic, the cloth covering her head slipped off.
"You...what's wrong with your head?" Yu Zhengde saw it and opened his mouth wide with shock on his face.
Before Liu He could answer, the jailer pulled him out and answered for her, "Mrs. Gong led someone to shave her that day."
"How can they do whatever they want in prison? But it's hard for me to even get in?" Yu Zhengde's voice gradually faded away.
Liu He couldn't hear what the jailer said, but it made her feel even more uneasy.
Yes, why did the queen let Wei Shiran and the others humiliate her?
Before she could figure it out, another man in black carrying a food box approached.
Liu He recognized him, he was the Queen's man.
The man in black said, "Yu Zhengde is here now. If the Criminal Department interrogates you again, you will bite him out."
"If I bite him out, will I still have a chance to survive? Even if I find out that the mastermind behind the scenes is Yu Zhengde, and that my Wu family did those things, how can the empress exonerate us?"
For the first time she became suspicious.
"You question your Majesty?" The visitor was very displeased, "My Majesty has her own way. It's not your place to interfere. All you have to do is obey orders."
After that, the man in black left with impatient eyes.
Back at the palace, the man in black conveyed Liu He's words to the queen.
The Empress of the Wei Dynasty leaned gracefully on the pillow, teasing the two little birds in the cage at hand, without raising her eyelids, and said calmly, "It's okay, she can't make a big wave, and she will end it in time when she bites out Yu Zhengde." .
Leaving some evidence to point to Yu Zhengde, the Crown Princess said that the Crown Prince has had a bad appetite recently, maybe he was annoyed by this matter and had to end it early.
No matter how hard you look, you can find out who the person is who started the trouble. Didn't you say that everyone in those days was dead? How could anyone know this? "
The man in black hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please give me some time, my Majesty. I will catch the troublemakers."
"Okay, let's go down." The queen waved her hand, "Let's do things cleanly and don't let those messy things get into my head."
The man in black hurriedly bowed and retreated.
But not long after, he hurriedly entered the palace again, "Mother, Yu Zhengde walked from the Yu Mansion to the palace gate with his bare upper body and thorn sticks on his back, carrying ten thousand taels of silver.
She confessed that the ten thousand taels of silver were a bribe from Liu He, and Liu He used this to blackmail him into rescuing her. The people followed him to the palace gate, and now Yu Zhengde was heading to the imperial study. "
"How could this happen?" The queen suddenly sat up from the couch, "Is Yu Zhengde crazy?"
"Empress, has Yu Zhengde guessed your intention?" The man in black asked carefully.
"What is my intention?" The queen pointed at him with sharp eyes, "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"My subordinate made a mistake and deserves death."
The queen got up and sat down, pacing back and forth in the room, "Didn't Liu He say that Yu Zhengde had been deceived by her for many years, and he always felt guilty for her? Why do you still do this?"
Thinking of something, she hurriedly said, "Go, tell your brother, interrogate Liu He immediately, and ask her to tell her that Yu Zhengde will die before she can be guided. The 10,000 taels of silver were given by the Beiling people back then.
I don't bother to delve into what trick they want to make. I want them to refuse to argue, and they will have to bear the responsibility for me until they die. "
Don't even think about bringing dirty water to my head.
"Mother, if that's the case, will Liu He bite you back?" The man in black was a little worried.
If Liu Her knew that the empress wanted her to die, would she still hide it for the empress?
"I am the queen, and she is my slave. It is her honor to die for me. What's more, her children are pointing at me. If she doesn't obey, they will take her daughter's life to warn her... "
"No, no..." In the prison of the Criminal Department, Liu He looked at the scene in the Queen's palace and listened to what the Queen said, shaking his head repeatedly, "This is not true."
She didn't know why, but she suddenly saw such a scene in front of her eyes. Someone must be up to something.
Just like the sudden sound just now.
But she had been to the queen's bedroom. The scene in the picture was the queen's bedroom, and the people in the picture were the queen and her secret guard leader.
The queen wanted to kill her and her children.
No, no, no!
Anger and fear arose in her heart. She was obviously acting on the Queen's orders. Why should she and her children die? Her children had no involvement in anything. Why?
But, if she didn't do what the queen said, would her children still have a way to survive?
She bit her lip hard with her teeth.
Yu Zhengde!
Yu Zhengde said that he would save her child. Without the queen, Yu Zhengde, the Minister of Household Affairs, would definitely be able to save her child.
"Empress, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
In an empty room not far from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Wei Qingyan fell down after hearing Liu He say these words.
"Girl." A black shadow rolled in like a whirlwind and swept the person who was about to fall to the ground into his arms. "Girl, please forgive me, Auntie is late."
