I frowned, trying to tear Duan Xinting away, but he seemed terrified, he hugged me tightly and didn't let go.When I saw this, I simply lowered my head and grabbed his clothes, "What are you afraid of? Didn't you always want to see your elder brother Tansheng? Now I let you see him, why? Don't you love him again?"

I remember what Duan Xinting did to me. The first time he led someone to bully me, he kept calling me a lowly slave, saying that I wanted to climb Lin Chongtan's bed.Later, he asked me to push me into the water, saying that he wanted to solve me for Lin Chongtan.

I thought he had a deep-rooted love for Lin Chongtan, but now it seems that the word "love" is false and ridiculous.

Duan Xinting didn't seem to understand what I said, so he just screamed and shouted, I was afraid that he would attract the attention of the jailer, and was about to let Song Nan re-activate his dumb acupoint, when he glanced at Lin Chongtan from the corner of his eye.

Lin Chongtan was staring at Duan Xinting, his eyes were almost fixed on him.I couldn't help but say, "It seems very happy to see the old man, do you want me to keep him here with you?"

When my words fell to the ground, Duan Xinting shook his head frantically, screaming louder than before, I could only ask Song Nan to press his dumb acupoint, so as not to attract the jailers.

Lin Chongtan has not spoken since I came in just now.I stared at him for a while, but he didn't intend to speak at all, he just shifted his eyes from Duan Xinting to me.

He saw that I must be working hard, and one eye was almost covered with blood.I was silent for a while, took out a silk handkerchief from my sleeve, and helped him wipe off the blood scabs on his eyelashes little by little.

While I was wiping, the eyelash of Lin Chongtan's other eye twitched a few times.He stared at me intently, and his lips parted slightly, as if he was about to say something, but when I wiped the wound on his forehead, I suddenly scratched it hard with my fingers.

The solidified wound opened again, and the blood that flowed out instantly dripped down my fingers.Lin Chongtan must be in pain, my lips tightened all of a sudden, I looked at him coldly, and slowly wiped the blood from my fingers onto Lin Chongtan's face.

"Give me a sweet date and another stick, that's what you did to me before, have I learned well now?" I whispered to Lin Chongtan.

Lin Chongtan's tightly pursed lips parted, "Okay, I learned very well."

His voice was even hoarse than last time, and he even coughed twice at the end.Just now the jailer dared to humiliate Lin Chongtan at will in front of me. I think Lin Chongtan's life in the past month will not be easy at all.

What was beautiful in the past is dirty today.

I reached out and picked Lin Chongtan's skirt, and the word "servant" on his chest had turned blue.This slave mark was printed by me, and Lin Chongtan will carry this mark on his body until he dies.

Now that Lin Chongtan has betrayed all relatives, everything is left with the last blow.I want Lin Chongtan to taste what it was like before I died, how I was bullied by everyone, but those close to me ignored me.

I used to be responsible for everything, but today is Lin Chongtan's karma.

"Lin Chongtan, today should be the last time I will come to see you, and I will not come again in the future. I will leave the palace to open a mansion soon, and I will also propose a marriage to my father." I paused, "I I am going to let you go and myself, I will not live in hatred for you forever, so, Lin Chongtan, I hope we will never see each other again in this life."

After saying this, I turned around and was about to leave. As expected, I heard Lin Chongtan's voice, but what he said surprised me a little.

"Kill me..." His voice seemed to come out of his throat, but it was light and light, as if he would miss this sentence if he didn't pay attention.

Probably because the sky prison has not seen the sun for a long time, Lin Chongtan's complexion is fairer than before, almost like the complexion of ghosts written in books.With red blood on his skin, blue lips and black eyes, whoever sees him now may find it difficult to recognize him as the number one scholar Lang Lin Chongtan who was brilliant a month ago.

Qiongxiu's strength of character was destroyed in one dynasty.

When he saw me looking back, his chest heaved violently and then calmed down, "Kill me, don't you hate me—Ninth Prince."

His voice was very soft for the last three words.

"No, I won't kill you, I think my hands will be dirty." I said word by word, and I walked forward, and Lin Chongtan's voice came from behind me, but I didn't repeat it this time. Listen, I just grabbed Duan Xinting.

"I don't care if you are really crazy or fake crazy, I will save your life, you and Lin Chongtan will live well for me, and live through every day when pigs and dogs are not as good as you are." I said this in Duan Xinting whispered in the ear.

Most of what I said to Lin Chongtan just now was to lie to him. I will not propose to the emperor. People like me are not worthy to be with other people. I don't want to delay any daughter's family.

After shutting Duan Xinting back to the house in the suburbs of Beijing again, Song Nan drove me back to the palace in a carriage.On the way, the carriage passed the noon gate.A drumbeat caught my attention.I opened the car window and found that someone was beating the Dengwen drum.

The Dengwen Drum is a drum that is used to beat the drum to express grievances and face the Holy Spirit directly, but this drum cannot be beaten easily. If it is proved that the grievances do not exist, the person who played the drum will be beheaded immediately.

Those who played the drum wanted to face the saint, but they also had to kneel in front of the Dengwen drum and beat the drum to complain for at least two hours. Even so, not everyone could face the saint.

After I saw the appearance of the person beating the drum, I immediately called to Song Nan who was driving outside, "Stop."

The person who beat the Dengwen drum was actually Lin Chongtan's teacher, Mr. Daoqing.

I met this late wife, Mr. Fu Daoqing, once at Lin's house in Gusu.

Although Mr. Daoqing is Lin Chongtan's teacher, he does not have close contacts with the Lin family, and can even be described as unfamiliar.

Lin Kunjie has always wanted to hold a banquet in honor of Mr. Daoqing, but failed repeatedly.The only time I saw Mr. Daoqing was when Lin Chongtan was seriously ill, and he didn't go to Mr. Daoqing's place for several days. Mr. Daoqing was worried about his student, so he went to Lin's mansion.

Mr. Daoqing, as the first tutor, is highly educated and arrogant, and he is very cold when talking to others.Only when facing Lin Chongtan, would there be a smile on his face.

At this time, Mr. Daoqing, who was over sixty years old and had gray temples, knelt in front of the Dengwen drum at the noon gate. He came to intercede with Lin Chongtan.

Every word he said weeps and tears, and his words are sincere, I hope the emperor will retry the case of Lin Chongtan.

Because someone was beating the Dengwen Drum, the crowd of onlookers became more and more, they whispered to each other and talked a lot.Mr. Daoqing seemed not to notice the onlookers, repeating his words over and over again.

"Lin Chongtan has been taught by me since he was a child. I dare not praise him for his wisdom, but his words and deeds are upright, and he will never do anything that is morally humiliating. Since ancient times, there have been many unjust cases tonight. Fortunately, Your Majesty is clear and holy. Please retrial This case, there is no case of injustice in the world, only then can the country last forever, Haiyan and Heqing."

In the early spring, the capital city was warm and cold. Kneeling on the icy floor tiles for two hours, considering Mr. Daoqing's advanced age, his knees might be ruined.

Looking at the appearance of Mr. Daoqing, I couldn't help clenching the hands on my lap.It would have been great if someone had said a word for me back then, someone who loved me sincerely.

If Lin Chongtan died, Mr. Daoqing must be very sad.

Thinking in my heart, the tip of my nose started to turn sore, I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, and closed the car window again, "Song Nan, let's go."

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Mr. Dao Qing's voice drifted in from outside.

As soon as I returned to Huayang Palace, Niu Xi told me that the prince was coming.

"How long has he been here?" I paused as I took off my cloak.

"It's been less than half an hour. His Royal Highness asked where you were, but the slave only said that you were out of the palace." Niu Xi said.

I hummed, handed the cloak I took off to Niu Xi, walked into the front of the south hall, and told him to bring some snacks, and I told him all the things the prince likes to eat.

I have been to the East Palace so many times, and I know the prince's preferences.

"By the way, ask the Imperial Dining Room to deliver milk tea." I added another sentence.

"Yes."

I entered the south hall alone, and immediately saw the prince who was lazily sitting on a chair.He may have been waiting for me for a long time, his brows and eyes were indifferent, as if he was not interested in anything.

"Brother Prince." I called him and walked towards him.

The prince raised his eyelids and looked at me. He looked me over first, and then asked ominously, "Where did you come back from?"

I stopped when I walked up to him, "Heavenly Prison."

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, "To see Lin Chongtan?"

"Yeah." I knew that I couldn't hide from the crown prince about my going to the prison, so I wasn't going to lie from the beginning.

At this moment, Niu Xi brought up the snacks. After I was served by the palace servants and washed my hands, I took the initiative to pick up a piece of the prince's favorite snack with the serving chopsticks and put it in front of the prince, "Brother prince, try this."

The prince glanced at me, "Please Gu?"

I pursed my lips and said nothing.

The prince didn't say anything else, he ate the dim sum I gave him, but he didn't touch the rest of the dim sum.I saw that he didn't touch it, so I just ate it by myself.

Halfway through the meal, the prince reached out and grabbed my wrist, "Enough, you have to feed yourself to death."

I swallowed the mouthful and said slowly: "I can't hold on, Brother Prince, I saw someone beating Dengwen drum today, it seems to be Lin Chongtan's teacher."

"Don't worry about that old man, if you want to overturn the case, it's a beautiful idea." When the prince mentioned Mr. Daoqing, his words were full of contempt.

I turned my head to look at the prince, "Will the father meet Mr. Daoqing?"

The prince said: "If you meet, then send their teachers and students on the road together."

I was silent for a while and said, "I don't want to implicate innocent people."

The milk tea from the Imperial Dining Room was also delivered at this time, and the prince asked the palace servants to put the milk tea in front of me. He doesn't like sweets, so I'm the only one who drinks the milk tea from the Eastern Palace every time.

He waited for me to finish drinking, and said with a hint of meaning: "Brother, your biggest problem is soft-heartedness. Born in an emperor's family, how can you be soft-hearted. A person with a kind heart can't accomplish great things."

"I haven't made a big deal. I'll be an idle prince in this life, and it's enough to assist my father and the prince's elder brother." I whispered.

After I finished speaking, my jaw was suddenly pinched.The prince suddenly reached out his hand, which made me stunned for a while.I looked at him and was about to ask him what he was doing when I saw him pick up a handkerchief with the other hand and wipe my lips like a child, "How come you eat like a cat and it still sticks on your lips? .Father is going to let you leave the palace and start a mansion?"

The prince is worthy of being a prince, I only say one word, he has already guessed something.

"Yeah." After I finished speaking, I found that the prince hadn't let go of his hand, so I added in discomfort, "Have you wiped it off yet?"

I am not a child, and the prince's care makes me uncomfortable.

The prince withdrew his hand slowly, "Whether it's good to open the mansion, did the emperor mention your marriage?"

"not yet."

There was a very sincere smile on the prince's feminine and beautiful face, and what he said was like what his elder brother said to his younger brother, "You must choose carefully when it comes to marriage, and you can't be too anxious."

I was in no hurry and had no vision of marriage.But these words, I am not going to tell the prince.

The emperor didn't see Mr. Daoqing, and Mr. Daoqing was very persistent. He went to beat the Dengwen drum every day. On the third day, Mr. Daoqing passed out.

Someone finally came out from the palace, but instead of bringing Mr. Daoqing into the palace, he took Mr. Daoqing away according to the emperor's orders.Among them is the imperial doctor who treats Mr. Daoqing.

The emperor does not want to see Mr. Daoqing.

It was the prince who discovered that Lin Chongtan killed Tanhualang and raped the princess. If this case is an unjust case, it means that the prince lied.

And Mr. Daoqing was once the emperor's tutor, and he had a teacher-student relationship in it.

Because it is impossible for the emperor to meet Mr. Daoqing, but the emperor probably did not expect Mr. Daoqing to be so stubborn.

After Mr. Daoqing fell ill, he propped up his sick body to beat Dengwen Drum within a few days.On that day, the emperor summoned the prince, and the prince asked me to go to the East Palace after hearing the call.

As soon as I saw the prince's expression, I guessed what happened.

"Is the father not going to kill Lin Chongtan?" I just asked, the prince smashed the things in his hand.In his hand was the latest tribute from Fanbanguo, but he smashed it in a blink of an eye.

In fact, I had already guessed that this would be the result, since I saw Mr. Daoqing.In the eyes of the emperor, the person who died was Tan Hualang, and the one who was humiliated was the future prince and side concubine, so there is room for change in this matter.

"Then don't let Lin Chongtan die. Since the father asked the prince brother to go, it is difficult to think about it. He hopes to give Mr. Daoqing a face, but he must also take into account the prince's brother's mood and face. Exile, let Lin Chongtan follow The people of the Lin family were exiled together, but he is different, he will stay in the land of exile for the rest of his life." I said to the prince.
