A traitor

When Su Qinglang returned to the mansion, he felt that this matter was quite difficult.

From the mansion gate to the backyard, I searched back and forth, and after confirming that there was no criminal evidence, I felt relieved.

As soon as I was sitting in the room drinking a cup of tea, I saw the butler hurried over and said, "My lord, the people from the Royal Forest Army have come and said they want to see you..."

Su Qinglang clicked his tongue and looked at the half cup of tea in his hand: "It came pretty fast."

After drinking the rest of the tea, he went out with the butler, just in time to meet the soldiers from the Royal Forest Army rushing to the backyard.

Su Qinglang was worried, he was romantic, walked over to salute and said: "Isn't this Mr. Zhang from the Imperial Forest Army? Why did you come to my Shangshu Mansion today?"

The so-called Imperial Forest Army, a group of warriors, has always been displeased with scholars, especially scholars like Su Qinglang.

Five years ago, Mr. Su told right and wrong to confuse right and wrong, resulting in the death of Xie Yun's family. Coincidentally, this Mr. Zhang is Xie Yun's old department. Because of Xie Yun's appreciation and promotion, he became the governor of the Imperial Forest Army. Position, always take that General Xie as a role model and benefactor.

This time, seeing Su Qinglang in distress, he was overjoyed and wished for nothing, so he waited for Su Qinglang to be arrested and brought to justice.

He put his hands behind his back and said: "Master Su, I will come to arrest you according to the emperor's order. Master Su should come with us."

Although he knew it before, Su Qinglang still made a startled expression: "No way, Master Zhang made a mistake?"

Upon hearing the words, Mr. Zhang immediately revealed the imperial decree and said: "The emperor's decree is here today. Why, Mr. Su, do you want to resist the decree?"

Su Qinglang glanced at the imperial decree, and said in silence for a moment: "You can go with me if you want, but I don't know what mistake I made?"

As it is related to the secrets of the royal family, Mr. Zhang is naturally unwilling to speak out in front of everyone, but said: "This matter, see the emperor, and see for yourself."

Su Qinglang was sent to the Golden Palace just like this. According to his analysis, this matter is really a royal scandal, and it is most taboo to make a big fanfare and make it known all over the city.

However, today the emperor used the Imperial Forest Army to take him away from the mansion directly, thinking about it, he was very angry.

Wan Yuzhen, that dead woman, poked a big hole herself, but now she wanted to drag him into the water, and she didn't even think about it, what if the emperor got angry and dealt with him secretly, so what?

Su Qinglang was apprehensive, and entered the Golden Luan Hall, perhaps because he had been ordered earlier, but he didn't see anyone along the way.

There is only one emperor in the palace.

It seems that the emperor was really angry.However, he was very fortunate that at least until now, he was still willing to give him a chance to speak.

He stood still in the hall and saluted the emperor: "My minister sees the emperor."

The emperor stood for a while before turning around. His description looked haggard, much older than before.

Looking at Su Qinglang, he said after a long time: "Su Qing, are you convicted?"

Su Qinglang deliberately pretended to be stupid, and asked back: "Why did the emperor say that?"

The emperor took out a stack of paper from the dragon case, which was densely written with small characters, threw it to his feet and said, "This is the confession of the sinful concubine, what else do you have to say?"

Su Qinglang knelt on the ground, picked one up casually, showed shock, picked up another one, then looked at the emperor with a pale face and said: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!"

However, the emperor couldn't listen to anything, and pointed at Su Qinglang furiously: "Su Qinglang, I treat you like my own son, how dare you..."

Su Qinglang quickly fell on the ground, almost trembling with fear, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged..."

He also heard the emperor say: "I thought you were smart and smart since you were young, and you have been by my side for many years, but you have been indulged in letting you go in and out of the harem, you...you actually..."

He coughed, his face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, Su Qinglang was afraid that he would get sick from anger, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, please listen to my minister's explanation."

The emperor coughed a few more times, nearly fell, staggered to the dragon chair, sat down and said, "Okay, I will give you this chance."

In fact, the emperor didn't really believe Wan Yuzhen's words. After all, Su Qinglang had been with him since he was a child, and he knew Su Qinglang very well.

If it was said that he flirted with a young girl on the street, he would believe it, but if it was said that he had an affair with a noble concubine, a person who could almost be his mother, this kind of thing would be weird no matter how you think about it.

But he had been looking forward to this child for more than half a year. When he had a child in his later years, he was so happy at the beginning, but now he is so angry.

Thinking about Su Qinglang's smooth sailing all these years, apart from his own favor and trust, it would be almost impossible without Wan Yuzhen's support.

But he is a young man who has just entered the officialdom, how can he make Wan Yuzhen favor him so much and help him so much?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was somewhat believable.But at the same time, he sadly discovered that apart from anger, there was also a trace of regret in his heart.

This person who has been treated by him as his son since he was a child, this bright, dazzling and extremely intelligent young man in Chang'an City, has actually ruined himself like this!

Seeing Su Qinglang kneeling on the ground again, he thought for a while before replying: "I don't know what to say."

"you……"

Seeing what he said, the emperor became even angrier, and directly shouted: "Come on!"

"emperor!"

Su Qinglang immediately stopped him, and kowtowed deeply to him: "If the humble minister says yes, will the emperor believe it, if he says no, will he believe it?"

The emperor was stunned. Su Qinglang had indeed accurately grasped his psychology, hit the nail on the head, and grasped the key point, which also made his next words a little more believable.

Seeing his silence, Su Qinglang said again: "Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, I have never done this kind of thing, but since the testimony of the imperial concubine is here, there are conditions for filing the case, and I am willing to accept interrogation , I also ask the emperor not to make a conclusion in his heart before the matter is clarified, this humble minister will definitely prove his innocence."

If he entered the palace and cried out to him for grievances, the emperor would be a little more suspicious, but seeing that he did not cry out for grievances or complained, but was frank and fearless, on the contrary, he dispelled some doubts about him .

He sat beside the dragon case, looked at Su Qinglang for a long time, and then clenched his fingers: "Go ahead, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end."

Just like that, Su Qinglang was carried from the palace to Dali Temple again.

The so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, but after a stick of incense, almost everyone in the imperial city knows about it.

Moreover, I don't know who has a long tongue in the palace. Mr. Su was arrested because he had an affair with a noble concubine and gave birth to a son.

For a moment, everyone was in an uproar, almost dropping their jaws in shock.

When Mei Liusheng first heard about this, he was still a little dazed. After a while, he asked the reporter: "Who are you talking about, Su Qinglang?"

The most anxious ones are none other than Qin Huan, Li Saisai and Liang Shi.

Knowing that Su Qinglang was arrested, Qin Huan immediately went to look for Mr. Qin, but Mr. Qin himself was in a state of desperation, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

After all, Su Qinglang had so many secrets in his hands, if Su Qinglang fell into Dali Temple, it would be equivalent to falling into Pei Yan's hands, so naturally he didn't care about his trivial matters of male sex.

Li Saisai, on the other hand, took a whip out of the house directly, and was about to rush out of the house, but was stopped by King Chang Shan and the little prince.

On the Liang side, when he heard the news, he fainted on the spot. After waking up, he cried and begged Su Zheshan to find a way to rescue Su Qinglang. However, Mr. Su did such a "shameless" thing. Feeling dizzy, it would be good if he didn't rush to Dali Temple to wrench his head off, how could he still listen to Mrs. Liang?

After coming and going, everyone was making a fuss outside, but Su Qinglang's side was peaceful.

If the people he sent didn't make any mistakes, Chen Wenxuan has been put under supervision now, as long as Wan Yuzhen's child is rescued from Du Shiqi's hands, everything will be fine.

There is only one thing that he still can't figure out, since Du Shiqi belongs to Qin Jian, why would he force Wan Yuzhen to frame her? Isn't he afraid of Qin Jian's blame?

Whether it was Du Shiqi and Jia Siqi who deceived Qin Jian, disobeyed orders after entering the palace, and kicked him, or was it Qin Jian's idea.

Because of his relationship with Qin Huan, Qin Jian had long been unhappy, but because of Wan Yuzhen, Qin Jian trusted him in every possible way. Now Wan Yuzhen has lost power and was replaced by Qin Jian's people.

In other words, he has lost a lot of use value in front of Qin Jian, and Qin Jian cannot guarantee that he will not have the idea of ​​getting rid of him.

This is what Su Qinglang is really worried about.

Although the officials guarding Dali Temple belonged to Pei Yan, they still respected him. When they saw Su Qinglang, they cupped their hands and bowed: "Master Su..."

Su Qinglang smiled, and looked up at the cell in front of him: "I thought that I would never come to this place again in my whole life."

The man didn't respond, but just tilted his hand: "Please..."

He went in and meditated in the prison, thinking about Qin Jian's next move and thinking about the strategy to deal with it.

After a long time, he heard footsteps outside, and Qin Huan stood in front of him with a prison door in between.

Although he was worried, he put on a nonchalant expression on his face, folded his arms and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Master Su is happy to have a son. It's really gratifying."

Su Qinglang raised his eyebrows, and taunted him: "That's right, it's a pity that I left in such a hurry this time that I didn't have time to see what my child looks like."

Qin Huan was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and after a while, he squatted down and said in a low voice, "How can I help you?"

Su Qinglang sat cross-legged and replied, "You should know who this child's real father is."

Qin Huan nodded: "Chen Wenxuan has escaped, and I have ordered someone to arrest him."

Su Qinglang hummed, and said again: "There is one more thing, I think you need to know, the person who framed me this time was that Dumei man, I don't know if Xiangye knows about this?"

Qin Huan's face was full of suspicion and astonishment: "Her?"

Seeing Su Qinglang nodding his head, he was very puzzled and said: "How is it possible, father doesn't know about this at all..."
