The Queen Dressed as Lin's Sister

Wu Zhao laughed, turned around, put his arms around Shui Rong as well, and said, "Then... if the emperor cries next time, I will definitely wipe your tears too."

Shui Rong smiled helplessly, and said, "I cry? I... will only make you cry."

Wu Zhao heard him suddenly talking about nasty jokes, glanced at Shui Rong angrily, and said, "Your Majesty, what happened to the former Minister of Internal Affairs?"

When Shui Rong heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he said, "What can I do? It's not like that. He kept begging for me to make the decision for him. His idiot son was crushed to death. He asked me to kill Jia Yun too. His son made amends."

Wu Zhao squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "It's obvious that someone wanted to blame Jia Yun, and he even knew that Princess Yongning had exchanged a large amount of banknotes, even the amount. They also killed people to silence them and destroyed all the evidence."

Shui Rong said: "I have sent people to investigate. The Emperor Shang has no sons or daughters, only a few concubines, and those concubines don't know anything at all."

Shui Rong said again: "Don't worry now, I put Jia Yun in jail because it is a stopgap measure, and I won't let Jia Yun have anything to do, when there is evidence to prove Jia Yun's innocence, then I will release him gone."

Wu Zhao nodded. He naturally knew what I was thinking about Sui Rong. After all, all the disadvantages are now directed at Jia Yun, and the former Minister of Internal Affairs is behind it. Wait, so now it can only be like this.

Shui Rong helped Wu Zhao into the bedroom and asked her to rest first. Feng Qingxuan came back after a quick survey and came in to report.

Feng Qingxuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have already gone to the bank, and the bank was completely burnt down, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid there will be nothing left.

It is basically impossible for Jia Yun to get rid of the crime by relying on the bank note that Princess Yongning said.

Feng Qingxuan said: "I feel that the person who framed the minister of the Ministry of Industry was clearly prepared, and his methods were very straightforward. It seems that he has a lot of connections."

Shui Rong said: "Now that the only son of the former Minister of Internal Affairs has been crushed to death again, he will definitely come to the palace to cry tomorrow."

Wu Zhao frowned, and said, "The bank has no clues, so the only one left is the royal merchant's house."

Feng Qingxuan said respectfully: "I made a little inquiry. It is said that the imperial merchant seldom comes home. There are only two concubines in his family. He has neither son nor daughter. I wonder if there are any usable clues in the imperial merchant... ..."

Shui Rong thought for a while and said, "Go and find out first, don't let anyone know."

Feng Qingxuan immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go to the humble post."

Feng Qingxuan quickly left again, Wu Zhao thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, now that Jia Yun is in prison, the girl in Yongning is very worried, why not let Yongning go and see Jia Yun, that would be good."

Shui Rong said: "Although it's good, but I'm worried about Yongning..."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, that girl in Yongning has a sense of propriety."

Shui Rong nodded, and Wu Zhao said, "It's just right, I also want to visit Jia Yun and ask him about building temples."

Shui Rong was puzzled for a moment, and said, "Wu Er, you want to go too? You are so weak now, how can you go to such a place?"

Wu Zhao said with a smile: "It's nothing, you see, I'm not doing well?"

Shui Rong seemed to disapprove of Wu Zhao's going to a place like a prison cell, fearing that something would happen to Wu Zhao's body, so he frowned and stared at Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao snuggled into Shui Rong's arms, put his arms around his waist, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm just going to see the cell, there's nothing dangerous about it, besides... isn't there an Emperor for everything? "

Shui Rong is really helpless, seeing Wu Zhao acting like a baby to her, let alone, usually you don’t see such a goosebump acting like a baby, only when Wu Zhao thinks of bad ideas, or asks him for something, you can see it, in fact, it’s quite useful Yes, after all, no matter what Wu Zhao looks like, Shui Rong loves to see her very much.

Shui Rong put his arms around her waist and said, "I'll follow, you can't make up your own mind, everything is up to me."

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Zhao and Shui Rong planned to go to the cell. The weather happened to be fine today, and it wasn't raining, so Shui Rong asked people to prepare for it. They will go now, and they are going to go back quickly.

The owner of Yongning County heard that Wu Zhao had sent someone to find him, but he didn't know what it was. When he heard that he was going to visit Jia Yun in the cell, he was overjoyed. He quickly packed his things and got into the carriage.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Shui Rong and Wu Zhao's carriage also came out, and everyone went to the cell together.

The cell did not receive the news that the emperor and empress would come, so it was still on duty as usual, unhurried and a little lax.

The carriage stopped at the door of the cell, and the guards had never seen such an arrogance before, they rushed over to meet it, thinking it was some minister who was interrogating, when the curtain of the carriage was opened, the prisoner almost collapsed on the ground in fright.

Because although the prisoners didn't know the emperor and queen, they could still see the clothes. Shui Rong was wearing a dragon robe and no casual clothes. The prisoner was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and said : "Greetings to the emperor, and the empress!"

Although those prisoners didn't know who the woman next to the emperor was, after all, Wu Zhao didn't wear makeup according to her rank, but everyone had heard that there was only one empress beside the emperor, and there were no other concubines or women, so she was naturally the empress.

Everyone knelt down to salute, Shui Rong said: "Get up, where is Jia Yun locked up? Take me to see."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The prisoner responded quickly, and Princess Yongning got out of the carriage and walked in with them. The cell was very dark, and there was a musty smell, which was so bad that even Princess Yongning couldn't stand it. Let alone Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao only felt her throat convulsing, and she almost vomited out. Seeing her complexion, Shui Rong shook her head helplessly, and said in a low voice, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. Are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

Although Shui Rong said so, he took out a small bottle and peeled off the lid. This was specially ordered from the imperial physician. He knew that the cell must not be very clean and might cause Wu Zhao to vomit, so he ordered a cool bottle. small pill.

There was a pill in the small bottle, and when the lid was opened, Wu Zhao sniffed the cold air that was particularly pungent, and asked, "Is it better?"

Only then did Wu Zhao feel that the cool smell overwhelmed the damp and rotten smell of the prison cell, and he felt a little better, so he nodded.

Shui Rong put his arms around Wu Zhao, helped her to go forward, and said, "You won't be obedient next time? Huh? Little villain."

Princess Yongning walked behind, didn't expect to come to the prison cell, but also to watch the emperor and his sister-in-law show affection, it is really out of the question.

Everyone kept walking, and soon arrived at Jia Yun's cell. The prisoner walked over, seemingly a little scared. Although the cell door was not opened, Shui Rong could still see everything when he looked inside. There was no one at all.

Shui Rong immediately frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Where is Jia Yun?"

The prisoner was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a "gudong", kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive me. The minister of the Ministry of Industry seems... seems to have been called for interrogation. Slave... I just remembered this." of."

Shui Rong asked suspiciously, "Interrogation?"

Wu Zhao laughed, and said: "The emperor didn't ask anyone to interrogate the minister of the Ministry of Industry. I will ask you again on behalf of the emperor. Where is the minister of the Ministry of Industry? If the emperor asks you a third time, do you know what's wrong?" as a result of?"

The prisoner over there was so frightened that his face turned blue, he said, "This... this..."

Wu Zhao sneered and said, "Forget it..."

When she said this, the prison guard immediately shouted: "In...in the execution room! In the execution room!"

Shui Rong said in a cold voice: "The punishment room? I didn't even ask for interrogation, who ordered the punishment?"

The prisoner kowtowed and said: "I don't know, my slave... I'm just a small prisoner who doesn't know anything. Just now, less than half an hour ago, someone took away the minister of the Ministry of Industry and went to the execution room." No, the villain doesn’t dare to ask more questions!”

Princess Yongning is in a hurry. Jia Yun was tortured last time when she was in Dali Temple. I don't know what will happen now.

Shui Rong immediately said: "Lead the way, torture chamber."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The jailer hurriedly led everyone to the torture room. The torture room was not far from here. It was also a rebuilt prison cell. It was relatively open. As soon as everyone entered, they could smell a bloody smell. Princess Yongning was so frightened that he hurriedly went to the torture room. one rushed in.

I saw that the torture room was very dark, with braziers lit all around, and several prisoners were standing in the torture room with instruments of torture, chatting and laughing.

One of the guards was holding a poker in his hand, and was pinching the flames. He heated the poker until it was scorching hot, and then lifted it up, laughing and saying, "Don't confess? Isn't that difficult?"

As soon as he said that, he knocked the tongs on the brazier twice, sparks splashed and made a "crack!" sound.

In the cell besides the prisoner, there was another young man who was tied up and tied to a wooden frame. His jacket was taken off. A little messy, blocking half of the cheek.

However, Princess Yongning could recognize it at a glance, rushed over and said, "Jia Yun?!"

Jia Yun was tied up, and the pain made him lose his strength. He suddenly heard the voice of Princess Yongning, and thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when he looked up, it was really Princess Yongning. Jia Yun was so frightened. Eye.

Princess Yongning ran over, her eyes turned red, and said, "Jia Yun, how are you doing?"

Jia Yun hurriedly went to see Princess Yongning. When she looked up, she saw the emperor and empress. She was a little surprised. After all, her appearance was really ugly, and her body was covered in blood, which made her really filthy.

Shui Rong walked in, looked around, looked at Jia Yun again, sneered, and said, "Who ordered you to use torture? Also, is this a trick of torture? I haven't been brought for interrogation yet, how can I plead guilty? "

As soon as he said this, the guards present were so frightened that they quickly threw away the instruments of torture in their hands, and knelt down in a large area. All of them turned pale with fright and kept kowtowing, but no one dared to speak.

The water-soluble voice was hazy, and said: "Can't you hear me when I ask you? You are still dumb and can't speak. Who ordered you to use torture? If you don't speak, then all of you will be dragged out and have their tongues pulled out."

The prisoners were terrified, kowtowed and said: "If you go back to the emperor... it's... the former Minister of Internal Affairs!"

Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes, and the prison guard said, "The former Minister of Internal Affairs came here before and said...that yes, the project presided over by the minister of the Ministry of Industry caused...killed his only son, so the Minister of the Ministry of Industry must pay for it with blood. , I want him to plead guilty as soon as possible..."

Shui Rong sneered, and said, "The former Minister of Internal Affairs, I never imagined that he has resigned now, but he still has such contacts. So many people are rushing to do things for him, and Jia Yun has to plead guilty before I speak?"

"Forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! This slave will never dare again! Never dare again!"

Shui Rong glanced at Jia Yun, and said, "Jia Yun is injured, and I ordered Jia Yun to go back to the house to recuperate. During this time, I will send troops to guard her."

The prisoners looked at each other in blank dismay, Jia Yun was a blessing in disguise, she was placed under house arrest directly at home, instead of starving and suffering in the cell.

The guards hurriedly responded, and went over to untie the ropes tied to Jia Yun. They put on clothes for Jia Yun with a courteous face, but he was covered with large and small scars, how could he be able to put on the clothes, even in pain. up.

Seeing him hissing, Princess Yongning didn't dare to touch him, she pursed her lips and her eyes were red, and cried silently. Jia Yun saw it and raised her hand with some difficulty, feeling very sorry for Princess Yongning. Gently wiped away the tears, said with a smile: "Don't cry, I should be the one who let you see me in such a mess."

Princess Yongning bit her lip, unable to smile at this time, Jia Yun said again: "Okay, if you cry, my heart will hurt, wouldn't the wound hurt even more?"

Jia Yun was a little weak, and after saying this, she couldn't get up any more energy. Shui Rong ordered the guards to help Jia Yun get into the car and send him home.

Here, Jia Yun had just arrived home, Shui Rong and Wu Zhao were about to return to the palace, entered the palace gate, and before they reached the bedroom, they saw the former Minister of Internal Affairs, who was quite well-informed, already kneeling at the door of the bedroom.

Seeing Shui Rong, the former interior minister immediately walked forward on his knees and cried, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Why did you let Jia Yun go like this?! Your Majesty, you want to make the decision for the old minister's son!"

When Shui Rong heard the "question" from the former interior minister, he said in a cold voice, "Are you still here to ask me? When did I ask Jia Yun to be interrogated? You are very courageous, and tortured Jia Yun directly. He is now a third-rank Ministry of Industry after all. Minister, do you know what crime this is?"

The former internal minister knelt on the ground, crying for something, and said: "Your Majesty, you are considerate and considerate of the old minister. The only son of the old minister was killed by Jia Yun! Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me! The old minister is also heartbroken by the loss of his son. To do such a stupid thing!"

Shui Rong said: "You also know that it's a foolish thing?"

The former internal minister knelt on the ground and did not get up. He continued, "I beg the emperor to be the master of this old minister! The old minister is just such a son, and now he is killed by someone for no apparent reason. I beg the emperor to be the master of the old minister. If the emperor does not punish Jia Yun, the old minister... the old minister can no longer kneel!"

When Shui Rong heard this, a burst of anger suddenly rose in his heart, not to mention that the former minister of the interior "blackmailed" the emperor, but that he had resigned, and he still had so many contacts, he got through to the cell with a single sentence, and even tortured the third-rank official , Shui Rong was already very angry, but now hearing the threats from the former interior minister, the fire in his heart seemed to be poured with oil.

Wu Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Shui Rong, patted the back of his hand lightly, and then said to the former Minister of the Interior: "The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. If you don't care about anything, what is the majesty of the court? Today, Mr. He has resigned from office and has no official rank, so the old gentleman should not come in this palace, if the old gentleman insists on kneeling, please kneel outside the palace gate."

Hearing Wu Zhao's words, the former Minister of Internal Affairs wanted to stare at Wu Zhao angrily, but when he looked up, he saw Shui Rong's hazy gaze, and Shui Rong said indifferently: "I think you are an offender, and you are sad about the loss of your son. You should be punished lightly and ordered to do so." Stay at home, if you commit the crime again, I... will not let you off lightly!"

The former Minister of the Interior did not expect to get a bad nose and was taught a lesson by a woman. He was angry, but he didn't dare to speak out, so he kowtowed and said in a very useless way: "Yes... Thank you, the emperor, the empress for the light punishment. "
