Hearing Shen Wenchang's words, Lu Qingyi's tears not only didn't stop, but fell down drop by drop like the broken string of pearls, patter, patter, and finally connected into a line, flowing quietly on the face like the raindrops.

Seeing this, Shen Wenchang panicked, took out his handkerchief, and wiped Lu Qingyi's tears through the wooden prison door: "Yiyi, don't cry, don't cry, you make me flustered."

Mrs. Lu regained her senses from her dazed state, watching her daughter and the boy outside the door remain silent for a long time. If it had changed before, no, even yesterday, she would have stopped her, and even pulled her daughter to her for questioning, and taught her What does it matter if she is a man or a woman, but now, their family is in jail, and I don’t know if there will be a turnaround. Now it seems that they may be beheaded, but she has a pair of children, one is young and waiting to be married, and the other is only 13 years old. Time to enjoy life.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu lowered her head, assuming she couldn't see everything in front of her eyes.

"Wen Chang, if, if I die, you, you forget about me." As Lu Qingyi spoke, she couldn't hold back anymore, leaning against the cell door and crying.

Shen Wenchang was very shocked when she heard the words. Since she was a child, she was in awe of heaven and earth. Except for her mother's death, she never thought about who would die around her. Lu Qingyi's words stirred up a thousand waves in her heart.

Shen Wenchang's hand stretched in through the gap between the wooden pillars, patted Lu Qingyi's back and said, "Yiyi, don't be discouraged, I won't let you die, if you die, it's a big deal, I'll go too die."

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi left her face from the palm of her hand, raised her eyes to look at Shen Wenchang and said, "What stupid things are you talking about? Even, even if I'm not here, you are not allowed to do stupid things."

"Don't do stupid things, don't say stupid things, Yiyi, tell me, well, why were you arrested by the imperial envoy?" Shen Wenchang was eager to know the truth, so that she could come up with a good idea, even if she couldn't think of a good one. For a solution, she would also ask her uncle and cousin, no matter what method she used, she would not hesitate to use it. At this moment, she knew very well that she could not live without clothes in her life.

Lu Qingyi wiped the tears on her left cheek with a handkerchief, and then went to wipe the tears on her right cheek. Shen Wenchang was so anxious that she wanted to kick open the prison door and wipe the tears on her clothes herself.

"When the late emperor was alive, he once gave my father a painting of "Thousand Bamboos". So I took it as my own, and now the imperial envoy has found this picture, and according to the imperial decree, my whole family is imprisoned, and now it is hard to predict the good or bad."

Shen Wenchang heard the words: "Since it was bestowed by the late emperor, why was it framed?"

"I can't know all the stories about the affairs in this court." Lu Qingyi shook his head, and said again: "Father only said that the late emperor was rewarded in the imperial study, and there were only two people at that time."

Shen Wenchang's eyes lit up: "Yiyi, who do you say, I'll go find them."

Lu Qingyi shook his head, and said with grief and indignation: "It's useless, the person who framed my father is a friend of my father and one of the witnesses, Zhang Ziliao's father, Zhang Shoubei. The generals are at the frontier, even if they set off immediately, it will take more than [-] days, plus the return journey, it will be more than [-] days."

"Even if it's more than forty days, you have to go to the frontier to find it. There is always a glimmer of hope, isn't there?" Shen Wenchang said anxiously.

"Wen Chang, the imperial envoy will go to the capital today, and he will receive the imperial decree in more than [-] days. If His Majesty really believes it, I'm afraid that our family will be killed before General Qian returns." Lu Qingyi said Filled with sadness.

"Will your majesty believe it? Yiyi, it was not the will of your majesty and the queen mother to give lectures on Chinese studies. You can write a letter to explain the situation."

Shen Wenchang's words awakened Lu Qingyi from his bewilderment, and hurriedly said, "You're right."

Mrs. Lu and Lu Qingzhe glanced at each other, and the mother and son saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.

"Wen Chang, can you come in tomorrow?"

"Yes, Yiyi."

"You come in tomorrow with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I will repair a book and send it to Prince Ming's Mansion in the capital. You must hand it to Princess Yi, and let her enter the palace on my behalf to appeal to the Queen Mother." After Lu Qingyi finished speaking, he thought about it. The passion has faded: "I only hope that after so many months, the princess has returned to Beijing, otherwise the Lu family will be ruined."

When Shen Wenchang heard that there was still risk involved, he said, "Yiyi, tell me what General Qian looks like, let's make two preparations."

"It's useless. You don't know General Qian, and General Qian doesn't know you either. Maybe I'll arrest you as an enemy spy."

Shen Wenchang couldn't hear Lu Qingyi's tone of resignation, and said anxiously: "I don't know each other, so why don't I find someone who does?"

"Acquainted? Apart from me and Qing Zhe, who else knows General Qian?" Lu Qingyi shook his head decadently.

Hearing this, Shen Wenchang looked at Lu Qingzhe in the cell next to him. The young man was sitting, and his figure was about the same as hers.

Thinking of this, Shen Wenchang shuddered. If she replaced Lu Qingzhe, she would just sit or lie curled up and let her hair loose, who would doubt it?

"Yiyi, I have a solution." Shen Wenchang shook his hand, who is not afraid of death, but if Yiyi can't be saved, she will die with Yiyi, that's fine, at worst, they will be husband and wife on the road to the underworld.

"What way?" Lu Qingyi raised her eyes and asked.

"I will go to jail instead of your brother and save your brother from going out."

Before Shen Wenchang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Qingyi: "No, this is not a joke, you know, if things fail, you will be beheaded."

Mrs. Lu in the cell was also stunned. The young man outside was willing to go to jail instead of her son?

Shen Wenchang heard that there was chicken skin on her neck, she was never afraid of death, but for Yiyi, she was willing.

"Yiyi, if you do this, you can have another way of life. I will come in to replace your brother. After your brother leaves, brother Lu Qing and Hongfei can escort your brother to the frontier to find General Qian. I will go back tonight to ask for Jinwen and Fugui. Ask them to help bring the letter to Ming Palace, so that there will be no delay on both sides."

Lu Qingyi was moved in her heart, but she was sincere to Shen Wenchang, so how could she let Shen Wenchang come in and wait for death?

Lu Qingyi cried and shook her head: "Have you ever thought about it? If you fail, you will die. Even if you say you are Shen Wenchang in the execution ground, letting the criminal go is equivalent to a capital crime and you will be beheaded."

Shen Wenchang looked at Lu Qingyi, paused for a moment, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Even if I am beheaded, I will admit it. At worst, we will be husband and wife again in the next life."

Lu Qingyi stared blankly at Shen Wenchang, the tears in her eyes could no longer be stopped.

"I know your intentions, but I don't want you to have something to do, you can deliver the letter for me, don't come in."

"I've made up my mind, Yiyi, don't persuade me anymore. I'll come in tomorrow with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I won't go out. You let your brother start crying tonight, take a few strands of hair from the front, Put some ashes on your face, I'll go back and make plans with Hongfei and the others, and save your brother out tomorrow." After saying that, Shen Wenchang took a deep look at Lu Qingyi, then turned and left under his equally affectionate explanation.

Shen Wenchang left, Lu Qingyi was lying on the prison door in pain, her brother was on one side, and her sweetheart was on the other, she didn't want anything to happen to either, but her brother was from the Lu family, so she should share weal and woe, Shen Wenchang shouldn't have suffered this disaster.

Mrs. Lu stood up slowly, with tears in her eyes, walked to the cell door, and gently hugged her daughter into her arms.

Lu Qingyi leaned obediently in her mother's arms, crying uncontrollably.

"Hui Ban, poor daughter." Mrs. Lu didn't blame her daughter for having a relationship with others in private. Now it seems that the boy is not bad, "Daughter, who is that boy?"

Lu Qingyi sobbed and left Madam Lu's embrace slightly, wiped away her tears and said, "Her, her name is Shen Wenchang."

Mrs. Lu understood clearly: "Come to my house to propose marriage?"

Lu Qingyi nodded.

"People say that true love is found in adversity, so Shen Jiaerlang is pretty good." Mrs. Lu patted her daughter on the shoulder, "Mother thinks his suggestion is still feasible, and it can be delayed for a while in the capital. In Beijing, your uncle will definitely walk among the courtiers. As long as there are people in the court as guarantors, and His Majesty does not decree to behead you, everything will turn around. The most important thing is that the Queen Mother likes you. If you can get the help of the Queen Mother, I want to come to my Lu family to rehabilitate Just around the corner."

Lu Qingyi's thoughts were uncertain, it would be nice to have an extra life, but the risk was too great, she had to think about Shen Wenchang.Lu Qingyi paced back and forth in the cell, and suddenly remembered that two years ago, on the queen mother's birthday, she was rewarded by the queen mother for her birthday speech. The queen mother gave her a phoenix hairpin, saying that holding the phoenix hairpin would save her from death once. If she really had to be imprisoned that day To the execution ground, she can give it to Shen Wenchang.

The Lu family is no longer with her, she will not live, at least Shen Wenchang can survive.Thinking of this, Lu Qingyi's mind was settled, but she had to ask Xiaorou to sneak back and find the phoenix hairpin.

Shen Wenchang got out of the cell, and ran all the way to the withered grass on the opposite side without worry.

"Mr. Shen, how is my young lady?" Xiao Rou stood up and asked eagerly.

Shen Wenchang's face was heavy, and he said in a muffled voice: "She is very sad."

Xiaorou burst into tears when she heard the words, when did her young lady suffer this crime.

"Is there any way to save Master Lu?" Tang Hongfei asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Hongfei, can you go to the frontier with Big Brother Lu Qing to find General Qian?" Shen Wenchang looked at Tang Hongfei, Hongfei had a good foundation in martial arts, and he would take care of him along the way, but I don't know if Hongfei would like to.

Tang Hongfei heard that there was a lot of nonsense, so he agreed: "Success! A man is a man who pays attention to righteousness in this world. When he leaves, just say a word."

"But, I only met General Qian a few times at the mansion, and I recognize him, but General Qian doesn't recognize me." Lu Qing sighed.

"Your young master, I will go to the border with you." Shen Wenchang rubbed his hands, this winter is cold.

"What? Isn't the young master being imprisoned?"

"I'll replace him tomorrow."

"What?" Tang Hongfei and Xu Jinwen were taken aback.

"Full warehouse, let's think of other ways, don't put yourself in danger." Xu Jinwen was not calm anymore.

"I've already made up my mind. Tomorrow Hongfei will go to the prison with me, and then bring the young master of the Lu family out." Shen Wenchang said while remembering another thing Lu Qingyi said, and patted Xu Jinwen on the shoulder and said: "Tomorrow Master Lu will write a This letter, please help deliver it to Princess Yi of King Ming's Mansion in the capital."

"Me?" Xu Jinwen was stunned, "I'm alone? I've never traveled far."

Lu Ping on the side heard the words and said: "How about this, I will escort the young master to the frontier with Brother Tang tomorrow, and Lu Qing will accompany this little brother to the capital."

Shen Wenchang nodded when he heard the words: "That's fine." Shen Wenchang held down his trembling hand, looked at Xiaorou, Lu Qing and Lu Ping, and asked, "You three, where are you going tonight?"

The three were silent.

Xu Jinwen glanced at the people present, none of them were suitable, he suddenly thought of Cheng Yi, and hurriedly said: "Why don't you go to my fourth brother's house first, he is going to the capital to catch the exam, and there is only his mother at home, and it will not be possible for sister Xiaorou to stay temporarily in the future Question, go, go, I'll take you there."
