fake prince

Chapter 665
"Duke Dai, please wait a moment."

It was almost dusk when we left the hall, Eunuch Zhao personally accompanied Su Ziji out, and respectfully asked to stay for a while, waiting to bring back the new calligraphy and painting rewarded by the emperor.

This time, the emperor didn't announce the decree, so Eunuch Zhao directly packed a hundred calligraphy and paintings in two large boxes and carried them out.

Eunuch Zhao had a better attitude towards Su Ziji. It is obvious that the empress came here today and persuaded the emperor to change his mind with one sentence, especially if it was about the Duke of Dai. to the queen's influence.

Because the emperor couldn't leave him easily, he sent Su Ziji all the way out of the palace gate, and asked two young eunuchs to carry the box onto the bullock cart. Eunuch Zhao smiled and cupped his hands at Su Ziji: "Mr. Sending you home."

"Grandpa, please stop." Su Ziji also smiled, and when he got into the bullock cart, he turned his head and took a deep look at the palace gate.

Thinking of the way the empress looked at him in the palace, he couldn't help sighing.

"My lord?" After finishing the work, the wild Taoist who came to the palace gate to welcome the lord back moved out of his seat, let the lord who got into the car sit down, heard a sigh, and couldn't help but look at it at this moment: "Is there anything I need to do?" Is it?"

Su Ziji sat down firmly, and said: "Mr. Lu, write down one thing for me, I will be too busy to forget later, please remember to remind me."

"My lord, tell me." Ye Taoist said hurriedly.

"From now on, every month, remind me to enter the palace at least twice to see you, on the fifteenth day of each month, remind me to prepare a gift for the empress, and deliver it on the fifteenth day."

One is outside the palace and the other is in the palace. It is difficult to see each other in normal times. The empress is alone, and all her biological children and family have died tragically. Since I am a fake emperor, I have to lose too many women because of this name. do something.

Ye Dao's heart shuddered: "Don't worry, my lord, I have remembered it."

Seeing the wild Taoist answer, he fell silent, Su Ziji couldn't help but look at him more, and asked, "Would you like to persuade me?"

The wild Taoist couldn't help laughing: "My lord is wise, there are no mistakes or omissions in this matter, what can I say?"

"Although there is only fifteen times a month to see the empress, this is something that can't be done. Even if the empress is the lord's grandmother, it is reasonable to summon her from time to time, and there is nothing to be criticized. Grandparents, grandchildren, and good manners There is no need to avoid it for a noble family."

"But the royal family is different. They are seen more often. I am afraid that the emperor will be suspicious of collusion between the inside and outside. I go to the palace twice a month to pay respects to the emperor, and one of them also pays homage to the queen. This kind of filial piety is just right."

Su Ziji smiled, sighed in his heart, and said: "Family love in the heavenly family is also so difficult. If there is less, it will not work, and if it is too much, it will not work."

But if he is given another chance, he will definitely choose to go this way.

"By the way, I will go to see Luo Pei later and send the bullock cart to the prison. You go back to my study case, and send the picture pressed with a paperweight to Princess Xinping's mansion, and hand it over to her." Su Zi Ji said plainly, in the dream, Luo Pei was not dead, but was released, but it seemed that he had a relationship with the King of Shu.

This favor can be done.

Secondly, the emperor wanted to recruit a horse for Princess Xinping, but she refused and insisted on becoming a monk, which caused a lot of trouble and even affected herself, so why bother?

Moreover, it is said that she actually entered the Tao.

It may be better to solve it in advance and form a good relationship.

Although he was curious about why the lord asked him to send the picture to Princess Xinping, Ye Taoist simply responded: "Yes!"

Because of chatting on the road and the distance was not far, soon the ox cart arrived at the gate of the big prison first, the ox cart stopped, Su Ziji got off the cart, and let the ox cart go back.

Su Ziji went in at the gate of the big prison. Because everything was ready, a prison officer came out to greet Su Ziji, got up and said, "Duke Dai, please come in, put the fire under the fire, and he will be brought up in a while." .”

After entering the big prison, I saw that the surrounding walls were made of blue bricks, nine meters high and three feet thick, and the sun couldn't penetrate them. Therefore, it was gloomy and the winter was extremely cold. There was a chill.

After walking a few steps, I saw the prison cell from a distance, and heard the clanging of the locks inside. This is a bluestone house, and it stinks when I get close to it. There is a strong smell of toilet, and the musty smell of straw and grass. , the smell of rotten flesh.

Near the door, two prisoners could be seen lying motionless and unconscious on the grass bunk, their clothes were covered with blood, Su Ziji couldn't help frowning.

"Don't worry, Dai Guogong, Mr. Luo is a prisoner and a third-rank official, so he won't be executed." The prison officer quickly apologized with a smile: "You wait in the small hall, and you will be brought up soon."

Su Ziji sat and waited, and there were still people serving tea, but he was used to good tea, so Su Ziji took a sip of the rough tea here, and put it aside.

Dessert fruit is also very common, also did not move.

Hearing the sound of chains mopping the floor from far to near, Su Ziji looked up, and saw a black and thin figure, holding the shackles, coming step by step.

Luo Pei, who was not a fat person at all, had sunken cheeks, only his eyes still had some light, which became more and more conspicuous on his dark and thin face, which made people feel startled.

"Give Lord Luo a temporary punishment." Seeing Su Ziji's unbearable expression standing in a daze, the prison officer waved his hand to order, and someone opened the chains.

Su Ziji didn't say anything, he gave up his hand and let Luo Pei take his seat.

There was a moment of relative silence, and at this moment, a jailer brought in a few restaurant guys carrying food boxes.

These people are all the waiters of the nearby restaurant, Su Ziji ordered a table of food and wine in the restaurant, and at this moment it was ready and brought in.

In addition to setting the table in this small hall, the jailer was also invited to a table outside, and when the food, wine and meat were all set, the jailer and guard left, leaving this small hall to Su Ziji and Luo Pei.

After a long silence, Su Ziji said, "Lord Luo, you haven't been wronged here, have you?"

Luo Pei smiled, looking very calm, and said: "Duke Cheng is concerned, although the big prison is not very good, but at least there is some treatment, and he is not tortured to death."

"That's good, that's good!" Su Ziji actually knew that, not to mention the last dynasty, even this dynasty, a minister was imprisoned, but his ribs were broken, and he died after wailing in the middle of the night.

Later, a minister who was released from prison kept silent and tossed the prison officers and guards to death, forcing two to death and driving one crazy. Afterwards, the prison officer restrained himself relatively.

Luo Pei looked at the table of wine and food in front of him, and chuckled lightly: "It's so rich, could it be that this is my meal?"

Having said that, he sat down at the table naturally and started eating.

Su Ziji didn't speak, and when Luo Pei had eaten most of it, he looked at it and said: "I went to your mansion a while ago, and I also met my wife, she said, everyone at home is fine, don't worry about it."

After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it to Luo Pei.

"This is a letter from me on behalf of your family." After speaking, Su Ziji got up and walked outside, but there was really no extra words.

Looking at the letter pushed by Su Ziji along the table, Luo Pei's expression changed on his calm face. With trembling hands, he picked up the letter. The words on it were recognizable, and they were Da'er's handwriting.

In fact, a prisoner like him does not need to be interrogated, and there is nothing to inquire about, but relatives and friends are not allowed to come in to visit, let alone get news.

Sending a letter in this way is actually a great favor.

Just tell him that there is nothing wrong with his family, and the emperor did not kill them all.

Seeing that Duke Dai had gone far away and was about to leave through the small hall door, Luo Pei finally said, "Duke Dai, thank you."

　Something happened yesterday and today, tomorrow should be back to normal Chapter [-], the day after tomorrow can be scheduled in advance
