"Brother...... Brother ......"

"Brother...... Brother...... Brother ......"

The cold and clear voice in the darkness, like the voice of a celestial maiden, pierced into his heart through the fog.

The extreme hunger made Han Qing's stomach cramp in pain, and he woke up uncomfortably, and his eyelashes, which were longer than ordinary women, trembled and opened.

In front of him, there was a dark and cold prison, and the sun could not penetrate at all.

"Brother......" a familiar voice shouted sadly.

Han Qing looked up and found that Yan'er was leaning against the door of the cell not far away, looking at him with concern through the iron window.

She was dressed in a dirty prison uniform, described as haggard, and her cheeks were very swollen and fresh, and she had just been abused.

"Where is this?" Han Qing wanted to rub his painful and almost cracked head, and found that his limbs were ruthlessly tied to the cross iron frame by iron locks as thick as three fingers.

"This is Mu Yun's palace prison." Mo Xiangli lowered his head and said gloomily.

"Prison?" Han Qing glanced around, there were only the two of them locked up here, and the area of the cell was not very large. It is estimated that this is just a place to temporarily close the people of the crime palace or the concubines.

Han Qing thought back in confusion, he clearly remembered that he had escaped from Murong Bai in the cave, how could he be in the prison as soon as he woke up. It's a dream!

"Yan'er, why did you go into the cell, who beat you. Han Qing endured the headache, looked at it with extreme eyes, and asked with concern.

"Brother, I'm too stupid, I was framed, and I even went to jail for you, I'm sorry." Mo Xiangli lowered his head and apologized for his stupidity.

"How so?" Han Qing asked with a frown.

"It's Concubine Rong, she sent someone to sneak into my room and steal the poison bottle I put in the pillow, they didn't know the real water and thought it was an ordinary potion, so they poured the real water and put another poison in it, and then reported the emperor and sent someone to arrest me.

Then the emperor sent General Murong Bai to arrest you.

I found out something strange later, in addition to the bottle was replaced with another poison, Rong Guifei also had no evidence when she arrested me at that time, she deceived me and admitted it, I'm sorry, I'm too stupid. ”

Mo Xiangli said crying.

"Yan'er, don't cry, it's none of your business, even if you don't do this, she will put this dirty hat on your head, I'm the one who has caused you." Han Qing looked at Han Yan's crying red eyes and said distressedly.

"Brother, it's Yan'er who is wrong, she likes someone she shouldn't like, and in the next life, Yan'er will fulfill the promise we made when we were children, and be your bride."

Mo Xiangli thought that the emperor had an attitude towards her like a stranger except for the interrogation once, and then thought that his brother was also imprisoned by himself, and he started to cry again.

"Yan'er, have there been two palace maids who have come to save you?" Han Qing thought of the chess pieces he had placed in the palace and asked.

"Yes, they were found when they rescued me the day before yesterday, and they committed suicide in public, woo." Mo Xiangli thought of the two who died because of her innocence, and couldn't help crying louder.

"Then Bei Hanjing, have they been arrested?" Han Qing asked again.

"I don't ...... Ever listened to ...... to the ...... they were caught. message. Mo Xiangli said breathlessly.

This is a small blessing in misfortune.

"Yan'er, don't cry, my brother won't let you die." Han Qing watched Han Yan shrink to the ground like when she was a child, hugging her knees and crying pitifully, and said with a smile.

“？” Mo Xiangli raised his head when he heard this, as if he was a little incredulous.

Han Qing analyzed confidently, not at all like a down-and-out prisoner: "Not only will you not die, but I will not die either, but Emperor Muyun still has to offer the two of us as treasures."

"Why, the emperor didn't kill us, but still offered us." Mo Xiangli was still a little unconvinced, there were still two strings of tears in his beautiful eyes, but the crying stopped.

"And you do what I say......"

Mo Xiangli's eyes became brighter and brighter with Han Qing's words, how could she not have such a smart brain as her brother!

As soon as the two finished speaking, they heard footsteps approaching outside, and Han Qing hurriedly pretended to continue to be unconscious.

Mo Xiangli also continued to cry, as if the two had never communicated.

The people who came were the emperor, Yan Zijin, Li Junye and Murong Bai, as well as several humerus ministers.

"Tanlang...... No" "Your Majesty, I have something to say. When Mo Xiangli saw Xiao Jingyu coming, he excitedly grabbed the pole of the cell door, stood up eagerly and said.

Xiao Jingyu frowned slightly when he saw Mo Xiangli, this ugly appearance, he had always known that there was darkness in this palace, and if he didn't care about it, it was tantamount to acquiescing that she could be bullied.

"If you have anything to say, you can say it directly." Xiao Jingyu put his hands behind his back and said coldly in front of everyone, as if the strong affection and sweetness in the Hongluan tent in the past were all passing clouds, and Mo Xiangli felt that his heart was cut by his ruthless indifference.

"Li'er, I didn't poison you, someone framed me." Mo Xiangli tightly pinched the thin rod of the door, his hands turned white, and he looked directly at Xiao Jingyu's beautiful phoenix eyes and said.

"Didn't you confess it yourself that morning?" Xiao Jingyu looked away and pursed his lips, with a hint of impatience between his eyebrows.

"Li'er, because he has a handle in the hands of the Sima family, he has to admit it unjustly." Mo Xiangli complained aggrievedly.

The people present began to attach great importance to it, and it was related to the Sima family.

"What's the handle?" Xiao Jingyu looked at it squarely and asked solemnly.

Mo Xiangli glanced at the people present, his face was a little timid, and Xiao Jingyu said, "It's okay for you to say it."

"Li'er, in fact, Han Qing is a brother and sister with the Beihan horse, and my brother was abducted when I was a child. We recognized each other at the banquet that day, but at that time, one was a concubine of Mu Yun and the other was a concubine of Beihan, and this relationship made us dare not say it.

On the seventh day of the third lunar month, on the night of the second watch, my brother and I agreed to meet in the back garden, but we were seen by the maid Lu Lotus who was followed by Rong Guifei, so in the afternoon of the eighth day of the first month, Rong Guifei looked for me and threatened me privately.

If I dare to be disobedient, I will tell my brother about the private meeting, and it will also make the Sima family destroy the family of Li'er, and our family will die without a place to bury, even the maidservant is no exception.

The emperor pampered me before, and Concubine Rong knew that she was very angry, and came to teach the palace maid Ah Huan who had left her son, trampled her foot into a serious injury, and insulted us as dogs.

I didn't expect that her heart is so vicious that she dares to poison the current emperor. let Li'er and her brother take the blame for poisoning, and also distorted the brother-sister relationship between Li'er and her brother.

The Sima family's plan to kill two birds with one stone is really terrifying.

Li'er wanted to tell the truth of the matter, but Concubine Rong Gui Niangniang used lynching in private to force Li'er not to tell the truth, saying that half of Muyun's country was the Sima family.

If I am obedient and obediently admit my guilt, I will be let out of the palace safely in the end.

It wasn't until today that I saw my brother being arrested, and I knew that Concubine Rong was lying to her son, and she was so anxious that she told the truth. ”

"Gao Shengsu went to investigate whether he had lost a child when he was a child." Xiao Jingyu's face was solemn, if the truth was really as Mo Xiangli said, then the Sima family was trying to kill the emperor and usurp the throne.

"What proof do you have that proves that what you say is true?" Yan Zijin shook his fan and asked one step above.

"On the seventh day of the first month of March, on the second watch, the green lotus followed me and eavesdropped on me and my brother, and was bumped into by soldiers patrolling the garden.

After the green lotus purse fell to the ground, I picked it up and saw it filled with herbs, and a round stone, and then put it back in its place.

The next day, I saw the light green purse on her waist, which was exactly the same as the one Li'er picked up last night.

Later, Concubine Rong came to talk to me, and Aunt Zhang Jin also knew. ”

"Someone, bring the guards from the back garden on the seventh day of the third month and the second watch, and call Zhang Jin and Luhe over." Xiao Jingyu ordered.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

The guards and Green Lotus, as well as Zhang Jin, all came.

Xiao Jingyu and the others sat down and put on a posture to interrogate the guards and the green lotus separately.

Xiao Jingyu personally interrogated Lu He and said, "On the seventh day of the third month, I will ask you where you are on that day."

Lu He glanced at the emperor, shrunk his neck and replied, "The slave maid serves Niangniang in the Ronghua Pavilion."

"But this purse?" The emperor pointed to the green purse on the green lotus's waist, turned his head and asked Mo Xiangli, who was sitting on his side, in a slow voice.

"Yes." Mo Xiangli insisted on it.

"Green Lotus, bring the purse around your waist." The Emperor said, pointing to her waist.

Green Lotus hesitantly handed over the purse, Gao Sheng opened the purse, and sure enough, there was a stone inside.

In the next room, Yan Zijin sat down, shook a fan, and interrogated Zhang Jindao: "Zhang Jin, let me ask you, on the evening of the seventh day of the third lunar month, Mei Meiren can go out, if so, please tell the time."

"Back to the Prime Minister, Mei Meiren will go to the back garden for a walk around the second watch, usually half an hour back, and on the seventh day of the new year, it is half an hour later than usual." Zhang Jin's reply was very detailed.

"On the eighth day of the first month of March, did Concubine Rong find Mei Meiren?"

"Back to the Prime Minister, yes, Mei Meiren went to Ronghua Pavilion, about two quarters of an hour."

"That Rong Guifei has stepped on the hand of the palace maid," Yan Zijin asked for a small detail.

"Slave maid, I saw Rong Guifei under the pear blossom tree at the entrance of the Mei Pavilion, stepping on the hand of the palace maid Hua Xihuan, stepping on the hand to dislocate, and afterwards the slave and maid were healed, and the slave and maid grabbed the medicine for the palace maid." Zhang Jin replied, and wrote a prescription silently, which was consistent with the record left by the medicine.

On the other side, Li Junye took a sip of tea and asked the same question to the twenty guards.

"Back to the Prime Minister, the minions patrol the area around the back garden." The twenty guards replied in unison.

"Then when you patrol the rockery, what are you encountering different things from the past?" Li Junye's eyes were on the looks of the guards.

"It's not a big deal." The guards will reply.

"That night, in the back garden of the second watch, you can meet a palace maid who behaves strangely, if there is one, please identify it." A row of people held portraits in their hands, and they were separated for them to identify one by one, and they did not exchange a word with each other.

Several guards stepped forward separately to identify, and all of them recognized the green lotus, and the leading guard replied: "Back to the Prime Minister, the slave once saw this woman sticking to the fake sneaky at that time, and also stepped forward to interrogate, she had a big ambition on the side of her nose, so she was impressed."

After all the interrogations were over, all the witnesses were brought in, and the testimony of Zhang Jin and the guards proved that what Mo Xiangli said at the time and place was not false, except for the green lotus.

"Bold green lotus, how dare you deceive in front of me, and come to the big board." After listening to the report, the emperor slapped the table and said angrily.

"The slave and maid are wronged......" Lu He shouted injustice, and after a few big boards, he immediately honestly admitted that what he said was false, and the truth was that he was ordered by Concubine Rong to monitor Mo Xiang.

"What did you hear in the rockery that night?" The emperor asked condescendingly, and Mo Xiangli next to him was slightly nervous.
