"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up."

Song Qiyuan opened his eyes under Ruan Wucheng's gentle call, but he couldn't react, so he closed his eyes again, and said childishly, "Ruan Wucheng, don't make noise, let me sleep for a while."

Seeing him like this, Ruan Wucheng chuckled, and continued to coax: "Your Highness, it's half an hour, Lord Yan is still waiting for you, get up, okay?".

Song Qiyuan heard that Mr. Yan was still waiting for him, and only then did he realize that he was not in the palace, but in the Ministry of Punishment.

He yawned, sat up and said, "I fell asleep just now." While saying that, he was about to put on his shoes, when Ruan Wucheng suddenly squatted in front of him, ready to put on his shoes.

Song Qiyuan hid immediately, he was really not used to letting others put on his shoes, and he tried not to let others serve him in the palace.

"Ruan Wucheng, you don't have to do this, I'll do it myself."

Ruan Wucheng didn't listen to him, grabbed Song Qiyuan's feet, and began to put on shoes for him without hesitation, saying, "I know His Highness doesn't want to be served on weekdays, but I like to take care of His Highness like this, and I am willing, so you just let me go." ,OK?".

What else could Song Qiyuan say, no matter how awkward he was, but facing Ruan Wucheng like this, Song Qiyuan couldn't say no.

After putting on the shoes, Song Qiyuan was about to go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Ruan Wucheng wanted to follow, but was stopped by Song Qiyuan. Song Qiyuan looked at Ruan Wucheng's tired face and said, "You don't have to follow, you can't get in, and it's so cold waiting outside, so why don't you just wait?" Take a rest here, get a good night's sleep, and I'll come find you when it's over there."

Ruan Wucheng thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait here for His Royal Highness to come and find me."

After Song Qiyuan left, Ruan Wucheng lay on the bed, and there was the smell of Song Qiyuan on the bed. It was a faint herbal smell, which made people feel at ease. Ruan Wucheng smelled this smell, and felt that he was suddenly sleepy. For the first time in a long time It was the first time I fell asleep so quickly.

Chu Yun was much more difficult to deal with than Han Wei. He seemed certain that as long as he survived tonight, the prime minister would rescue him, so he kept silent and did not cooperate.

Although Song Qiyuan had Youyouxiang, but if Chu Yun were to reveal the crime so quickly, it would arouse suspicion from others. He cooperated with the Minister of Criminal Affairs and staged a play of wits and wits. He used Youyouxiang when he felt it was enough, and successfully pried it open. Chu Yun's mouth made him admit his crimes, together with the tablets of the girls they found from the ancestral hall of his private house, Han Wei's testimony, as long as the emperor is not confused and not partial, Chu Yun will be sentenced to death It's a done deal.

When Song Qiyuan and the minister of the Ministry of punishment came out of the prison, it was already dawn, and now they can't rest, and they will go to the morning court in a while, the minister of the Ministry of punishment said: "If your highness doesn't dislike it, you can have breakfast at the Ministry of punishment. people to prepare."

Song Qiyuan thought it was ok, it would take time for him to go back to the palace, so he agreed: "That's fine, then please prepare some breakfast, my lord is also in the Ministry of Punishment, so I need to trouble you."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly said: "Where is it? This is what I should do. Then Your Highness should go and have a rest first. I will send someone to call Your Highness after breakfast is finished."

Song Qiyuan bid farewell to the minister of punishment, and returned to the room where Ruan Wucheng was resting. Ruan Wucheng was still sleeping, sleeping very peacefully.

Song Qiyuan had never seen Ruan Wucheng like this before. When Ruan Wucheng's leg was burned, he had never seen him sleep so well and sweetly. Song Qiyuan himself had ghosts in his heart, so he didn't dare to get close to such a defenseless Ruan Wucheng. Next to the tea table.

He just sat down, and when he was about to take a good look at Ruan Wucheng again, Ruan Wucheng woke up.

He opened his eyes, saw Song Qiyuan, sat up, got out of bed and said, "When did Your Highness come here? Why didn't you wake me up?".

"Just came here, not long ago, did it wake you up?".

Ruan Wucheng walked to Song Qiyuan and sat down, shook his head and said: "No, I usually wake up at this time too." He observed Song Qiyuan's face, frowned and said: "Your Highness's face is even uglier, are you tired?" .

Song Qiyuan rubbed his brows wearily and said: "Yes, Chu Yun is very difficult to deal with. I am afraid that others will doubt me, so I dare not use Youyouxiang on him at the beginning. It is indeed tiring, but the most tiring one is in the front, although Now that the evidence is sufficient, I still can't guarantee whether my father will favor the prime minister and the others, I'm afraid I won't be able to convict him of death."

Ruan Wucheng stood up and walked behind Song Qiyuan, squeezed his shoulders for him and said: "Your Highness, don't think too much, you have worked hard and done a good job, and I think no matter what decisions the emperor makes, Chu Yun will not survive. Now Your Highness What you should do is relax, and then have a good breakfast, so that you will be energetic in the morning, right?".

Ruan Wucheng pinched Song Qiyuan's shoulders very comfortably. Sitting on that stool all night, there were so many people, so he had to pay attention to his manners. Song Qiyuan's shoulders were already sore. Now that he pinched him like this, it was really comfortable, comfortable for him I wanted to just fall asleep like this.

He didn't answer Ruan Wucheng's words, and quietly enjoyed the moment of comfort and peace that Ruan Wucheng brought to him. Ruan Wucheng didn't speak again, and quietly squeezed Song Qiyuan's shoulders, but it didn't mean that others didn't bother them.

"Your Highness, the breakfast is ready, Mr. Yan is waiting for His Highness to pass by in the front hall."

Song Qiyuan sighed, opened his eyes, and said to the guard outside the door: "Understood, this king will go over immediately."

He stood up, stretched himself, then straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go, let's go have breakfast together."

When Song Qiyuan was in the front hall of Ruan Wucheng Road, the breakfast had already been prepared. The servant of the criminal department, the commander of the imperial army, and several other officials in the criminal department were waiting for Song Qiyuan. Everyone wanted to salute Song Qiyuan, but he stopped him with a signal: "No need. That's too polite, let's all sit down and eat."

Song Qiyuan, Ruan Wucheng, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the Commander of the Imperial Army sat at the same table and began to eat breakfast. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice smiled and said, "I don't know what Your Highness likes to eat, so let them all prepare some."

Song Qiyuan took a sip of porridge and said, "Master Yan has worked hard, you don't have to be so polite to this king, just do whatever you want."

In fact, Song Qiyuan was not feeling well all the time, he had a headache and his stomach was uncomfortable, and he really didn't want to eat, but seeing that the servant of the criminal department had prepared so much, he was too embarrassed not to eat, so he could only force himself to eat as much as possible, although he acted very naturally, the other People were also deceived, but Ruan Wucheng, who was as careful as a needle, still found out.

When he finished his breakfast and was about to go to the morning court, Song Qiyuan couldn't stand it any longer, so he said to go to the toilet and walked towards the toilet, and when he got to a place where no one was there, he started to vomit.

Ruan Wucheng followed, and what he saw was Song Qiyuan who was vomited in the dark, Ruan Wucheng's face darkened suddenly, he walked over quickly, and supported Song Qiyuan who was vomited and couldn't stand up.

Just as Song Qiyuan was about to struggle, he suddenly smelled the familiar fragrance of grass and trees, and continued to vomit in peace of mind. He had already vomited out all the breakfast he had just eaten before he stopped.

Ruan Wucheng looked at Song Qiyuan whose face was as pale as paper, supported him and said, "Is Your Highness suffering? If you really can't bear it, then don't go to the morning court. The minister of punishment should be able to do it himself. Let's go back to the palace to see the imperial physician, shall we?" .

Song Qiyuan shook his head: "No, the minister of punishment can't deal with the prime minister and those people. If I don't worry that Chu Yun won't be sentenced to death, I'm fine. It's okay. As long as I don't eat, I can bear it. Don't worry."

Ruan Wucheng looked at him, knowing that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only nod.

Song Qiyuan slowed down for a while, feeling that it was almost done, and then walked together with Ruan Wucheng to the gate of the Ministry of Punishment. The servant of the Ministry of Punishment was already waiting. Seeing that Song Qiyuan's face was worse than in the morning, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment asked worriedly: "Your Highness, are you alright? ".

Song Qiyuan smiled: "It's okay, it's getting late, let's go."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment didn't say much. After Song Qiyuan got into the carriage, he also went to get into his own carriage. The commander of the forbidden army also led a hundred elite soldiers and walked towards the palace.

The carriage in the morning court cannot enter the palace gate, but can only stop at the gate of the palace. Song Qiyuan and Ruan Wucheng got off the carriage, Ruan Wucheng and Song Qiyuan got off the carriage, just stood up Song Qiyuan's eyes darkened, and he almost fell, Ruan Wucheng supported him, and said worriedly : "Your Highness, are you okay?".

Song Qiyuan slowed down and said, "It's okay, let's go down."

When everyone arrived at Zichen Hall, Ruan Wucheng could no longer go in. Song Qiyuan gave him a comforting look, and went in together with the minister of punishment.

They came just in time, and not long after they arrived, the emperor also arrived, and after everyone saluted, the ceremony began.

Song Qiyuan stepped forward and said: "Report to Father, the murder of the girl in the capital has been investigated by Erchen and Lord Yan, and the murderers Chu Yun and Han Wei were arrested on the spot last night, and a girl was rescued, interrogated overnight. The emperor looked over."

As soon as Song Qiyuan said his words, the people in the hall were stunned. Even the emperor couldn't react for a while, and the Prime Minister opened his eyes wide.

"King Li, are you talking about Chu Yun, the prime minister's son?"

Song Qiyuan said: "Yes, father, Chu Yun, the son of the official prime minister."

The emperor motioned for someone to bring up the dossier in Song Qiyuan's hand. After the eunuch handed the dossier to the emperor, the emperor began to read it. His face became darker as he looked at it, and finally his face completely darkened.

Seeing the emperor's face, the prime minister cried out inwardly, but the only son had to report it, and immediately knelt down on the ground: "Your majesty, my son has been wronged, please investigate clearly, Chu Yun is the one you watched growing up. Oh my lord."

The emperor directly threw the dossier in front of the prime minister and sternly said: "Wrong? Prime Minister, look for yourself. Your good son has admitted it himself. Could it be that my son lied and slandered?".

The prime minister picked up the file and read it. After reading it, his face turned completely pale and he lost his strength.

Song Qixuan and Chu Yun had a very good relationship, and they also knelt down immediately: "Father, there must be a reason for this little uncle, he would not be that kind of person, please ask Father to investigate clearly."

The emperor sneered: "Of course your little uncle has a reason. If you look at the dossier yourself, it is simply inferior to a beast"!

Song Qixuan quickly picked up the file, and his face turned pale after reading it like the prime minister, but he immediately reacted and said: "Father, little uncle is sick. Father, what kind of person is he?" I know, for the sake of his illness, please forgive me!".

The Minister of Dali Temple also knelt down: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chu Yun has always been a role model for the sons of the capital. Since he is sick and there is a reason for the incident, please forgive me!".

Hearing this, Song Qiyuan couldn't bear it anymore, these people would really open their eyes and talk nonsense, he said in a cold voice: "There is a reason for this, Master Hu, I heard that your youngest daughter has just reached the age of Ji, if you are framed by Chu Yun It is your daughter, Master Hu, will you plead for him like today?".

Mr. Hu was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

At this time, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice also stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the people. The four girls who were murdered were still young. It is really miserable to be raped and then killed. I can't let people who commit such serious crimes be spared by the laws of Daqing!" .

The emperor said coldly: "King Xian, tell me, what should I do?".

Song Qiye stepped forward and said, "Father, although Chu Yun has a reason and is sick, he is conscious and cannot control himself. If he doesn't want to, no one can force him. My son thinks that it should be dealt with according to the law." , give the people an explanation!".

The emperor was silent for a while, and opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, but the words that came out of his mouth made Song Qiyuan feel cold all over his body: "Chu Yun, the prime minister's son, bullied and killed the women of the people. , but the crime is unforgivable, and for the sake of the prime minister's contribution to the country, Chu Yun was imprisoned in the Ninggu Pagoda for the rest of his life, and he was not allowed to come out for the rest of his life."

"Han Wei knew of Chu Yun's condition, concealed it and refused to report it, and even helped him commit a crime, and was sentenced to death."

"For meritorious service in the investigation of the case, King Li will be named the Prince of Five Pearls, and he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold.

After the emperor finished speaking, Song Qiyuan still couldn't react. He didn't expect the emperor to blatantly protect Chu Yun, and didn't even punish the prime minister because of Chu Yun. Didn't the ancient times often punish the father for the son's mistakes?Why is it gone here?

He didn't know how he knelt down to thank him, how he walked out of the hall, and when he was held back by Song Qiye, he almost bumped into a tree.

"Be careful, your head will hurt if you hit it like this." Song Qiye pulled him and opened his mouth.

Song Qiyuan asked weakly: "Brother Emperor, why?".

Song Qiye sighed: "Father has taken a fancy to the prime minister's wife's niece, and she is about to enter the palace as a concubine. Of course he can't kill the prime minister's only son at this juncture, and the concubine has always been favored, so it is even more impossible for the father to kill her with his own hands. lost her only brother".

Song Qiyuan smiled sarcastically: "So that's the case, I'm so naive!".

Seeing him like this, Song Qiye was very worried: "You have tried your best, don't think too much now, Father just sent someone to ask me to go to the imperial study, and I sent someone to take you back?".

Song Qiyuan shook his head: "No need, Wucheng is waiting for me at the door, Brother Huang, you can go.".

Song Qiyuan resisted him again, told him not to do stupid things, don't think too much, and went to the imperial study room step by step.

Song Qiyuan felt that he was really ridiculous at the moment. After working hard for so long, he wanted to bring Chu Yun to justice and avenge those girls, but in the end it was still the same result.House arrest in Ningguta?Hehe, who is the prime minister? Can he just watch his son be trapped in Ninggu Tower for the rest of his life?It was too easy for the prime minister to find a substitute to replace his precious son. At that time, Chu Yun could still frame those girls by changing his identity. Song Qiyuan couldn't bear the thought of this.

Song Qiyuan felt very cold, cold from body to heart, he wanted to miss Ruan Wucheng, his embrace, and his tenderness.

Yes, Ruan Wucheng is at the door, he is waiting for him there, he can see him as soon as he goes out, as long as he sees him, he will not have to face these disgusting people, Song Qiyuan thought of this, and walked quickly to the door.
