Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

*

During the morning court session, Lu Ziyin was accused of treason and was immediately detained in the Ministry of Justice.

After the morning court session, Qi Yu returned to his bedroom. He had not yet taken off his dragon robe with bright golden patterns. His eyes were deep as if he was thinking about something.

Then he turned to Cao Quan beside him and asked:

"What do you think about Lu Ziyin being sued by the Minister of Revenue today?"

"Your Majesty, although the Minister of Finance has produced some evidence of treason, it is insignificant and it is not yet confirmed whether the facts are true. It is also possible that he was framed."

Cao Quan bent over and said that he had been with Qi Yu since before he ascended the throne, so he naturally knew what Qi Yu wanted to hear and what he didn't want to hear.

"So this crime can be serious or minor. Whether we need to continue investigating or just execute him, life or death, all depends on your Majesty's words."

Qi Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly when listening to what Cao Quan said, and then a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Well said."

Qi Yu's tone was light, but there was a flash of coldness and calculation in the depths of his eyes.

Maybe it was God's will? He was just worrying about how to catch the crying little rabbit.

This time, it was delivered directly to my door.

Qi Yu has never been a wise ruler. He knew from a young age that if he wanted to get something, he had to fight for it by any means necessary, otherwise he would never get it in his lifetime.

"Give orders to have Lu Ziyin imprisoned in the Imperial Prison and await his fate."

Generally speaking, the basic charges against people who were sent to the imperial prison were set in stone.

Yun Wu did not wait for Lu Ziyin to return from court, but waited for the person sent by the court to search for evidence.

"The Minister of Rites Lu Ziyin is suspected of treason and has been imprisoned by the emperor. We are here to search him in compliance with his order."

After hearing this, Mr. Lu fainted on the spot. Yun Wu had no time to care about anything else and quickly ordered someone to carry Mr. Lu back to the room first.

Fortunately, those who came to search took away everything in Lu Ziyin's study and left.

The Shangshu Mansion was exceptionally quiet at night. Because of the news that Lu Zinyin was imprisoned in the imperial prison during the day, everyone in the mansion was in danger and everyone was worried.

When Father Lu woke up, he felt like the sky was falling. He leaned weakly on the bed, looking a little older.

"How could Ziyin be a traitor? They also said that they found out that he used his position to pass on information from the court to the enemy. How is that possible?"

Yun Wu sat on the soft chair in front of the bed with a worried look on her face, her hands slightly clenched around the handkerchief. Things had happened so suddenly that even now she was still at a loss as to what to do.

Father Lu is always dissatisfied with Lu Ziyin, but he is his only son, how could he not love him?

After Yun Wu comforted Lu's father, she left the room. She looked a little dazed and her body went limp and she was about to fall down. Fortunately, Zhiqiu, who was guarding the door, supported her.

"Ma'am, please take a rest. You have been busy all day."

Zhiqiu said with a worried look on his face. Yun Wu's brows were full of fatigue. Today's incident happened suddenly. Father Lu fainted and there was no one in the mansion to maintain the situation.

Yun Wu forced herself to arrange all the affairs in the mansion and closed the door tightly to prevent anyone from entering or leaving freely.

Yun Wu was already a little tired from maintaining the operation of the mansion and taking care of her elderly father Lu.

But she thought of Lu Zinyin who was suddenly imprisoned today, gritted her teeth, cheered herself up, and shook her head.

"No... Zhiqiu, please help me prepare a carriage. I will go to the imperial prison to see how my husband is doing now."

The Imperial Prison was located at the other end of the palace. Yun Wu carried a food box and rode in a carriage to the entrance of the Imperial Prison when night fell.

There is a guarded forest here, and the towering walls make people feel extremely depressed when they see them.

Yun Wu originally thought that the guards would not let her go, so she asked Zhiqiu to take all the savings from the Shangshu Mansion and ask the guards for some leniency.

But when the guard heard that she was the wife of Minister Lu, he miraculously let her in. Yun Wu didn't even have to take out the bribe money, but she was the only one allowed to go in.

Yun Wu, wearing a black cloak and carrying a food box in her hand, followed the guards into the imperial prison smoothly.

It was eerie and scary here, the ground was damp and muddy, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air, which seemed to be mixed with the smell of blood.

Yun Wu endured the trembling and fear in her heart and followed the guard to a solitary cell with difficulty.

"lady?"

Lu Ziyin looked at the slender woman in a black cloak outside the cell fence with some disbelief.

He suddenly stood up from the haystack on the ground and staggered to the fence.

When Yun Wu saw Lu Ziyin, who was wearing prison clothes and looking disheveled, she immediately stood in front of Lu Ziyin. The two of them could only talk through the fence.

Lu Ziyin was wearing prison uniform with his hair a little messy, and there was some dirt on his body and face, but fortunately he didn't have any injuries, so he probably hadn't been executed yet.

"Ma'am, why are you here?"

Lu Ziyin looked worried. The environment in this imperial prison was dark, damp and extremely bad. He could hardly stand staying here. How could his weak wife set foot here?

Yun Wu quickly stuffed all the snacks prepared in the food box into the gap between the fences and gave them to Lu Ziyin.

"I brought you some snacks to fill your stomach. The food in prison should not be good, but you can still fill your stomach with some snacks."

"Ma'am, I'm sorry. I promised yesterday to take you to the temple fair in two days. I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise."

Lu Ziyin looked a little lonely, and Yun Wu quickly shook her head to indicate that she didn't care about it.

"I believe my husband is innocent, and we will be fine once we find out the truth."

Yun Wu said softly that she knew the family tradition of the Lu family and would never do anything that would commit treason.

She had just thought that she was going to start living a peaceful and comfortable life these past two days, but what happened today dealt her another heavy blow.

Of course Lu Ziyin was wronged, but he did not expect that the person who impeached and sued him was actually the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

It is true that he had a dispute with him because of the incident in the Shangshu Bureau a few days ago, but it was not necessary to harm him with such a serious charge.

Lu Ziyin looked at Yun Wu. He forced himself to calm down and looked up at the guard who was waiting not far away.

Lu Ziyin then lowered his voice and instructed:

"Listen to me, Madam. If I can get out of jail with a clean record, that's fine. If not... you can sign the divorce papers for me, so that you won't be implicated and you can find a good family in the future."

Lu Ziyin said with a bewildered look on his face, his tone already filled with despair. Originally, it would have been fine if he had been detained in a prison in the capital.

But not long after that, he was escorted to the Imperial Prison. As an official appointed by the imperial court, he knew very well that those who were sent to the Imperial Prison had basically no hope of turning things around.

"You and I are husband and wife. I've married you, even though we're not husband and wife in reality, am I the kind of person who would run away when faced with a disaster?"

Yun Wu shook her head with eyes as clear as water. Although there were some twists and turns after she and Lu Ziyin got married, everything was settling down now.

How could she be so hateful as to abandon Lu Ziyin and leave him alone?

Lu Ziyin argued for himself in the court today, but he was outnumbered because he came from a poor family and had no power or family prestige in the court.

After the incident, those who used to be on good terms with him did not dare to say a word to defend him. Even General Ye, who had always admired him, did not say a word to help.

The situation in the capital is unpredictable. You may be high and mighty one second but crushed into a pulp the next. Life and death are all in the hands of the emperor.

When Yun Wu came out of the Imperial Prison, it was already very late, and the street outside the prison was empty.

Zhiqiu, who was anxiously waiting beside the carriage, saw Yun Wu coming out. She hurriedly went up to her and supported her tired body.

"Ma'am, let's go back first."

Yun Wu nodded absentmindedly and got into the carriage with Zhiqiu. She was very tired today and wanted to take a nap in the carriage.

But when he got into the carriage, his hands suddenly lost strength and the empty food box fell down.

There was a roll of paper inside!

Zhiqiu picked up the thing and handed it to Yun Wu. It was obvious that the note was put in there after Yun Wu was imprisoned.

It said: If you want to get out of prison, go to the alley behind the Shangshu Mansion at 11:00 tomorrow.

"Ma'am, who put this note in?"

"I'm not sure either. I encountered many guards when I went in and out, and I don't know when I was let in..."

Yun Wu's heart trembled. She lowered her eyes and looked at the note again and again. She felt a sense of powerlessness for no reason.

Seeing that Yun Wu was flustered, Zhiqiu quickly crumpled up the note and threw it into the lunch box, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

"Madam, this may be a lie. Your Excellency has never really done anything to collude with the enemy or commit treason. Everything will be fine."

"hope so……"

Yun Wu's tone held some hope, but her heart was inexplicably growing heavy.

The next day, Lu's father and Yun Wu went to the residences of several court officials that Lu Ziyin had helped in the past.

I hope that these poor officials who have been helped by Lu Zinyin can speak up for him.

But without exception, they were all rejected. Now everyone is worried and dares not vouch for Lu Zinyin, for fear that they will be implicated.

It was already dark when Father Lu and Yun Wu returned to the Shangshu Mansion.

Father Lu became extremely old overnight, and his steps became much more unsteady. Yun Wu first asked the servants to help Father Lu go back to his room to rest.

Yun Wu returned to the backyard bedroom tiredly, and Zhiqiu was helping her massage her legs.

"Those people are really ungrateful. The Lord has taken care of them in the government because they are from humble backgrounds, but now they dare not even say a word to help the Lord."

"What can I do... If there is no improvement tomorrow, I'm afraid the accusation against you will be proven."

Zhiqiu sighed and said, Yun Wu sat upright on the couch and couldn't help but tightly hold the handkerchief in her hand.

The time passed slowly and it was already past midnight, but Yun Wu was still sitting there absent-mindedly.

A quarter of an hour later, she clenched the handkerchief and looked at Zhiqiu with firm eyes.

"I'm going to the back alley."
