The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Even if Lawyer Pei is sentenced to death, as long as he is alive and has not signed the divorce agreement, he is still the son-in-law of the emperor.

"Princess, please." The people of the Hundred Cavalry Division did not respond to Princess Linhai's doubts, but invited her into the dungeon.

Yes, this is a dungeon. What kind of prisoners are locked up in the dungeon?

They must be extremely evil people, and the prisoners are all sentenced to death.

The crime of deceiving the emperor is extremely evil, and it is very suitable for this dungeon.

But in front of Princess Linhai, these people of the Hundred Cavalry Division still have to be polite.

Pei Ji is here, and the people of the Hundred Cavalry Division want to search him, but when Princess Linhai comes, the people of the Hundred Cavalry Division have no choice...

They can only watch him a little more strictly to prevent Lawyer Pei from having any accidents in the cell.

"Husband." Princess Linhai saw Lawyer Pei, who was sloppy in the cell, with a very complicated expression on her face.

"Princess." Lawyer Pei turned around, and the moment he saw Princess Linhai, his eyes suddenly brightened up again.

He hurriedly stood up, but fell down, and crawled to the door of the cell.

"Princess." Lawyer Pei looked at Princess Linhai affectionately.

"They have told me what you did, husband, you are confused!" Princess Linhai looked distressed.

At this point, she really didn't know what to do.

The most powerful person in the entire Pei family is her father-in-law Pei Ji.

But now even her father-in-law has been exiled to Guangzhou.

The relationship between her father and father-in-law is so good, but her father doesn't even care about this relationship, which is enough to show how angry her father is about this matter.

Not only this matter, but also the last time, the locust plague rumor.

Her husband offended her second brother and then offended her father.

What can she do? Even if she wants to ask for mercy, she doesn't know what to say or how to ask for mercy.

"I, I just want to go back to Chang'an, Princess, you don't know what's going on in Jingzhou." Lawyer Pei said, "I really don't want to take risks. Our children are still so young, I don't want any accidents to happen."

"No matter how chaotic Jingzhou is, it is also part of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has garrisons in Jingzhou, which are enough to protect Jingzhou. Why do you have to think so much?" Princess Linhai didn't know how to evaluate Lawyer Pei's thoughts.

Although Jingzhou is remote and a little messy, there will not be any large-scale wars in Jingzhou. The world of the Tang Dynasty has been pacified.

Even if there are bandits, which bandit would not want to kill himself and attack the princess and the prince consort?

If the merchants were robbed along the way, most of them would think they were unlucky. Even if the government investigated, the government's few people could not find anything and could not completely eliminate the bandits.

But if the princess and the prince consort were robbed by bandits in Jingzhou, or injured, or even more seriously, lost their lives.

The imperial court is going to send troops.

Are those bandits stupid?

Why are they rushing to do this business that is absolutely risky?

They can still survive by robbing merchants on the road, but if they harm the princess and her husband, they will die.

There is no way to think about the result of the bandits fighting against the Tang army.

"Princess, do I still have a chance to survive?" Lawyer Pei looked at Princess Linhai hopefully.

He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. As long as he could survive, it didn't matter even if he was exiled to Guangzhou with his father.

Princess Linhai couldn't be exiled there too, right?

As long as the princess was in Chang'an City, there was still hope.

Everything could be planned from the beginning, slowly.

Now I have the patience to wait.

Compared with losing my life, what does waiting mean?

The hope in Lawyer Pei's eyes was a bit crazy, just like the night when he told Princess Linhai that he was going back to Chang'an.

Princess Linhai felt even more complicated when she saw Lawyer Pei like this.

How can she get this glimmer of hope?

Is it possible?

Princess Linhai herself felt it was mysterious.

Because at this moment, in her sleeve pocket, there were two copies of the divorce letter.

If the emperor had any intention of letting Lawyer Pei and the Pei family go, he would not let the palace eunuch bring this thing to her.

It was obvious that Lawyer Pei must die, and as for herself, if she got the divorce letter, she would have nothing to do with the Pei family, and it would not matter if she didn't get it.

Once Lawyer Pei died, she would become a widow, and in a few years, it would not delay the following things.

If she wanted to get married, it was not impossible.

If she wanted to stay with the child and concentrate on raising the child, that was fine.

Princess Linhai looked at Lawyer Pei and shook her head slowly.

"I'm afraid there is no such possibility."Princess Linhai said.

Lawyer Pei sat down on the ground dejectedly after hearing this.

"Even if the princess goes to ask the emperor, His Majesty, it's not okay?" Lawyer Pei raised his head, his expression was pitiful, just like a puppy left outside by its owner on a rainy day, with tears in his eyes.

Princess Linhai still shook her head, and she took out the divorce letter from her sleeve pocket.

"Today, the eunuchs from my father's Da'an Palace who came to the princess's mansion brought this with them. After you read it, you will know that begging for mercy will never let you survive." Princess Linhai sighed, her tone full of regret.

"However, I will still do what I should do. I will ask my father, but you should not have too much hope. I do this not only for you, but also for our children." Princess Linhai spoke slowly.

Lawyer Pei took the paper with trembling hands, and after seeing the three words "divorce letter" at the beginning, he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Divorce letter, divorce letter, hahahaha." Lawyer Pei laughed crazily: "The emperor wants you and me to divorce?!"

"Ha, haha."

"It's obvious, there's no way out, the emperor is already considering your future."

"Hahaha." Lawyer Pei seemed to be crazy.

Then, he tore the divorce letter into pieces.

Princess Linhai just watched Lawyer Pei go crazy quietly.

What kind of feelings can there be between the two?

It was a marriage of favor. Before the marriage, the two had never even seen each other.

It was just because the emperor had a good relationship with Pei Ji that the marriage was granted. According to the rules and etiquette, she became a wife of the Pei family.

Married, pregnant, and having children, everything was in accordance with the rules and procedures.

Even Lawyer Pei would not tell her what he did outside.

Unless, this matter needs her.

It was like this last time, and it is still like this this time.

I will always be kept in the dark.......

Seeing Lawyer Pei like this, Princess Linhai was not as sad as she imagined, but was unusually calm.

"You want to divorce me?" After Lawyer Pei went crazy, he threw himself on the wooden railing of the cell door: "You want to divorce me?"

"Whether to sign the divorce book is up to you." Princess Linhai responded.

It doesn't matter whether to sign or not. If there is really a glimmer of hope, the two of them will still be husband and wife, and they can plan their future life well. Although it won't be too good, it won't be too bad. They will have enough food and drink and be idle people.

If they can't survive and their lives are gone, what difference does it make whether there is a divorce book or not?

Thinking of this, Princess Lin'an seemed to have realized something.

"It won't have any impact if I don't sign it. If I sign it, it may not change anything." Princess Lin'an said.

"We still have children." Lawyer Pei looked at Princess Lin'an.

"Now, you think of the child." Princess Lin'an frowned and looked at Lawyer Pei, questioning: "When you were working outside, did you consider our child? You even hid it from me and did these things secretly. When something happened, you still hid it from me. At this time, the result has been decided. I still learned about the incident from the people sent by my father.

Lawyer Pei, have you ever treated me as your first wife and as your own family?

You were exiled to Jingzhou, and I went to the palace to ask the emperor's sister-in-law for mercy, but what was the result? The rumor about the locust plague was actually caused by you. The night before, you and I were in the room. You heard that I was going to the palace the next day, but you didn't say anything.

This time is even more so.

Lawyer Pei, should I ask my father for you this time?"

"Princess, Princess, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you, I really know I was wrong." Lawyer Pei was a little calmer at this time.

Princess Linhai is his, and even the last hope of the entire Pei family.

The father and the emperor were no longer able to communicate, but Princess Linhai was the emperor's daughter after all.

As long as she begged the emperor, maybe, maybe she could really survive?

Princess Linhai shook her head: "You don't know you are wrong. You have come to this point today. You just feel that you will know that you are wrong when you are about to die. If it is not the result, you should be glad that you did it."

"The Pei family will be confiscated, and everything will be gone. In the future, my child and I can't live in the Pei family. Only the princess's mansion is left." Princess Linhai said: "No matter what the final result is, the child is not just your child, he is a piece of flesh that fell from my body, and I will raise the child well."

After that, Princess Linhai handed over anotherShe threw the divorce letter into the cell and turned around and left.

She came to see Lawyer Pei, firstly to preserve the relationship between husband and wife, and secondly to tell Lawyer Pei that she would raise the child well.

But in the end, what Lawyer Pei showed was extremely disappointing.

Let alone other things, just the two things that happened this year, she was kept in the dark. She was obviously married into the Pei family, but she knew nothing about the Pei family. Her father-in-law and husband joined hands to hide it from her and slandered her father and second brother's reputation...

"Princess!"

Seeing Princess Linhai turn around and leave without any hesitation, Lawyer Pei was also anxious.

However, Princess Linhai never looked back.

Lawyer Pei in the cell picked up the intact divorce letter again, and the tears on his face flowed down and dripped on the divorce letter.

The ink was good, and the tears dripped on it without smudges. It was as solid as the dungeon of the Zongzheng Temple.

Standing on the steps at the entrance of Zongzheng Temple, the palace eunuch bowed to Princess Linhai.

"Your Highness, since Your Highness has already met the Prince Consort, I will return to Da'an Palace and report to the Emperor."

"I will go with you to the palace." Princess Lin'an said, "I want to see my father."

The palace eunuch was silent.

He was not sure whether the Emperor wanted to see Princess Linhai at this moment. If he rashly took her to Da'an Palace, he might...

Princess Linhai seemed to have seen the eunuch's thoughts.

"It doesn't matter. Whether my father sees me at Da'an Palace or not, or what happens, it has nothing to do with you. I must go to Da'an Palace to see my father."

"Besides, even if I don't go with you, now that I have left the Princess's Mansion, I have to go to Da'an Palace." Princess Linhai said, lifted her skirt, went down the steps, and walked towards the carriage.

The person driving the carriage was a servant of the Princess's Mansion.

"Go to Da'an Palace." Princess Linhai ordered.

"Yes." The coachman answered.

Seeing this, the palace eunuch hurriedly got on the carriage and told the carriage to go faster.

He had to report back before Princess Linhai met the emperor and inform the emperor of the matter.

The carriage rushed into the palace.

The palace eunuch hurried all the way and came to the palace where Li Yuan was.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I have already done what Your Majesty asked me to do." The palace eunuch bowed and said.

"Well, did Princess Linhai go to see Lawyer Pei?" Li Yuan asked.

"Yes."

"Where is the divorce letter?" Li Yuan asked again.

"The divorce letter... When the princess gave it to the prince consort, the prince consort tore it up. When she left, the princess gave another copy to the prince consort, and then she didn't care about it."

The palace eunuch also told Li Yuan about the conversation between Princess Linhai and Lawyer Pei.

"Your Majesty, after leaving Zongzheng Temple, the princess said she would come to Da'an Palace to see you."

Li Yuan bowed his head, smiled, and then sighed.

"She must come. After all, that is her husband. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will not give up."

The eunuch did not speak. The news had been reported to the emperor, and the rest had nothing to do with him.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, the eunuch waiting outside the palace came in.

"Your Majesty, Princess Lin'an is outside the palace to see you."

Li Yuan smiled.

"Let her in."

Everyone is here. As a father, you can't hide from your daughter.

The eunuch left to pass on the message. Not long after, Princess Lin'an hurried into the palace.

"Your son greets your father." Princess Lin'an saluted.

"No need to be polite." Li Yuan raised his hand: "Come on, please take a seat."

The eunuch in the palace brought a cushion and placed it under Li Yuan.

Princess Lin'an knelt on the cushion.

"Father..."

"You are here to plead for Lawyer Pei, right?" Li Yuan looked at Princess Lin'an expressionlessly.

"Yes." Princess Lin'an admitted: "I want to plead for my husband."

"You know all the wrong things he did, even so, do you think I will let him off the hook?"
