Quick Travel: Cannon fodder, she always encounters yandere and paranoid people

Chapter 66 The cannon fodder wife was robbed by the tyrant 8

*

When he went to court in the morning, Lu Ziyin was accused of treason and treason, and was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Qi Yu returned to the palace after the morning court. He had not yet taken off his bright gold-patterned dragon robe, and his eyes were deep as if he was thinking about something.

Then he turned around and asked Cao Quan beside him:

"Today, Lu Ziyin was sued by the Minister of Household Affairs. What do you think?"

"Back to Your Majesty, although the Minister of Household Affairs has produced some evidence about collaborating with the enemy and treason, it is all insignificant. It has not yet been determined whether the situation is true. It is possible that he was framed."

Cao Quan bent down and said, he was the person who followed Qi Yu before he ascended the throne, so he naturally knew what Qi Yu wanted to hear and didn't want to hear.

"So this crime can be big or small. Whether we need to continue to investigate or just beat him to death with a stick. Whether he lives or dies depends entirely on His Majesty's word."

Qi Yu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard what Cao Quan said, and then the corners of his lips suddenly raised into a faint smile.

"Well said."

Qi Yu's tone was calm, but a hint of coldness and calculation flashed deep in his eyes.

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

This time, it was delivered directly to your door.

Qi Yu has never been a wise man. He has known since he was a child that if he wants to get something, he must fight for it at all costs, otherwise he will never get it for the rest of his life.

"Go down and imprison Lu Ziyin in the imperial prison to await his death."

Generally, for people who go to prison, their basic crimes are set in stone.

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

"Because Lu Ziyin, the Minister of Rites, is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, the Holy Emperor has ordered that he be imprisoned in prison. We are here to search according to the order."

Father Lu fainted on the spot after hearing this. Yun Wu had no time to care about anything else and quickly ordered people to carry Father 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 extremely quiet at night. Because of the news that Lu Ziyin was imprisoned during the day, everyone in the manor was in danger and worried.

When Father Lu woke up, he felt that the sky was about to collapse. He leaned weakly on the bed and looked a little older.

"How could Ziyin collaborate with the enemy and treason? They also said that they found out that he used his position to pass on information about the court to enemy spies. How is this possible!"

Yun Wu sat on the soft chair in front of the bed with a worried look on her face. She squeezed the handkerchief slightly with both hands. It happened so suddenly that even she was still at a loss.

Father Lu is usually dissatisfied with Lu Ziyin in every possible way, but he is his only son, how could he not love him?

After Yun Wu comforted Father Lu, she exited the room. She was in a daze and was about to fall down. Fortunately, she was supported by Zhi Qiu, who was guarding the door.

"Madam, please take a rest. You have been busy all day."

Zhiqiu said with a worried look, Yun Wu's eyebrows were full of fatigue, something happened suddenly today, Lu's father fainted and there was no one in the house to maintain the overall situation.

Yun Wuqiang supported herself and arranged all the affairs in the mansion, closing the door tightly and not allowing anyone to enter or leave freely.

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

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

"No... Zhiqiu, go and prepare a carriage for me. I'll go to the prison to see how my husband is doing now."

The prison is located at the other end of the palace. Yun Wu, carrying a food box and riding a carriage, arrived at the entrance of the prison at nightfall.

The forest is guarded here, and the towering walls make people feel extremely depressed.

Yun Wu originally thought that the guards would not let him go, so she asked Zhiqiu to bring all the savings in the Shangshu Mansion to ask the guards to be accommodating.

But after the guard heard that she was Lu Shangshu's wife, he miraculously let her go. Yun Wu didn't even take out the bribe money, but she could only go in alone.

Yun Wu wore a black cloak and followed the guards into the prison smoothly with a food box in her hand.

The place was eerie and scary, the ground was wet and muddy, and there was a somewhat 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 guards to a separate 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 hay pile on the ground and staggered to the fence.

When Yun Wu saw Lu Ziyin, who was looking miserable in prison uniform, she suddenly felt a sore nose. She immediately stood in front of Lu Ziyin, and the two could only talk through the fence.

Lu Ziyin was wearing a prison uniform, his hair was a little messy, and there was some dirt on his body and face, but fortunately there were no injuries on his body, so he probably hadn't been executed yet.

"Why are you here, ma'am?"

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

Yun Wu resisted the sourness in her eyes and stuffed all the snacks prepared in the food box to Lu Ziyin through the gap in the fence.

"I brought you some filling snacks. Food in prison shouldn't be good, but you can still satisfy yourself by eating some snacks."

"I'm sorry, madam. I agreed yesterday that I would take you to the temple fair in two days. I'm afraid I'm going to miss the date."

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

"I believe that your husband is innocent. It will be fine once the truth is found out."

Yun Wu said softly, her eyes sour and uncontrollably turning red at the end.

She had just felt in the past two days that she had found someone she could entrust her true heart to, and was about to start living a life of peace and comfort, but what happened today gave her another blow.

Of course Lu Ziyin was wrongly accused, but he didn't expect that the person who impeached him turned out to be the Minister of Household Affairs.

He did have a dispute with him a few days ago because of the trouble he caused in Shangshu Bureau, but he wouldn't harm him with such a big crime.

Lu Ziyin looked at Yun Wu's sad look. He forced himself to calm down and looked up at the guard waiting not far away.

Lu Ziyin immediately lowered his voice and ordered:

"Madam, listen to me. If I can get out of jail innocently, it will be fine. If not... you can sign and write the divorce letter for me. Madam will not be harmed by that time, and I can be married to a good family in the future."

Lu Ziyin said with a bewildered look, his tone already filled with despair. Originally, it was okay that he was detained in the capital prison.

But he was escorted to the imperial prison not long after that. As an official of the imperial court, he knew very well that those who entered the imperial prison had basically no hope of making a comeback.

"You and I are a couple. Now that I'm married to you, even though we're not actually married, am I the kind of person who would go separate ways when disaster strikes?"

Yun Wu shook her head with red eyes. Although there were some twists and turns after her marriage to Lu Ziyin, everything is about to settle down now.

How could she be so hateful that she abandoned Lu Ziyin and ignored him?

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

After the accident, those who had been friends with him in the past did not dare to defend him a word, and even General Ye, who had always admired him very much, did not say anything to help.

The situation in the capital city is unpredictable. One second you are high, you will be smashed to pieces the next second. Life or death is all in the hands of the emperor.

It was already very late after Yun Wu came out of the prison, and the streets outside the prison were deserted.

Zhiqiu, who was waiting anxiously by the carriage, saw Yun Wu coming out. She quickly went up to support Yun Wu's tired body.

"Madam, let's go back first."

Yun Wu nodded absently and got on 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 he was holding fell down.

There was a roll of paper inside!

Zhiqiu picked up the thing and handed it to Yun Wu's hand. Apparently, the note was put in after Yun Wu entered the imperial prison.

It says: If you want to be released from prison, go to the deep alley at the back gate of Shangshu Mansion tomorrow at [-]:[-] pm.

"Madam, who put this note in?"

"I don't know exactly. I met many guards when I came in and out. I don't know when they were let in..."

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

Seeing that Yun Wu was flustered, Zhiqiu quickly crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the food box.

"Madam, this may be a lie. Your Excellency has never really done anything to collaborate with the enemy and treason, so you will be fine."

"hope so……"

Yun Wu's tone was somewhat hopeful, but her heart still felt heavier for no reason.

The next day, Lu's father and Yun Wu personally went to find the houses of several courtiers that Lu Ziyin had helped in the past.

I hope they, the ministers from poor families who have received help from Lu Ziyin, can speak to Lu Ziyin.

But without exception, they were rejected. Now everyone is insecure and dare not vouch for Lu Ziyin, for fear that they themselves will be implicated.

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

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

Yun Wu returned to the bedroom in the backyard tiredly, with Zhiqiu helping her with her legs.

"Those people are really white-eyed wolves. Your Majesty remembers that they also come from poor families. They have taken care of them in the officialdom, but now they don't even dare to say a word to you."

"What can we do... If there is no change tomorrow, I'm afraid the crime will be confirmed."

Zhiqiu sighed and said, Yun Wu couldn't help but hold the brocade handkerchief tightly in her hand while sitting on the soft couch.

The hour passed little by little, and Yun Wu still sat there absentmindedly.

A quarter of an hour later, she clenched her brocade handkerchief and looked at Zhiqiu with determined eyes.

"I'm going to go to the back alley."
