"Whoosh!" With several loud noises, layers of guards rushed into the hall. There were twenty to thirty of them. Their swords and spears shone brightly in their hands. Their expressions were fierce as they looked at Lin Wanrong and wanted to capture him.
"Wait!" Lin Wanrong shouted, "Your Majesty, this lowly one doesn't understand. Why does Your Majesty want to capture this lowly one?"
The Emperor sneered, "Lin San, I will ask you again. When you attacked the White Lotus Sect, did the White Lotus Holy Mother perish in the barrage of cannons?"
"This …" Lin Wanrong was shocked. She quickly thought of something and said, "In theory, it should be like this!"
"That should be the case? What should it be? You were safe and sound in the barrage of cannons, but the White Lotus Holy Mother perished in the sea of fire? Lin San, I gave you a chance because of your contributions. How dare you be so dishonest. The White Lotus Holy Mother, An Biru, Sister An, Master Sister, each more intimate than the last. Hmph, Lin San, do you really not know her? "The Emperor spoke unhurriedly, but his words struck Lin Wanrong's heart.
Sister An, Master Sister, these were extremely secretive titles that only a few people knew. Where did the old Emperor hear them from? Could it be … Lin Wanrong was startled and didn't dare to think further.
The Emperor's eyes flickered. "Since you are young and don't know how sinister people can be, I will give you another chance. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of the White Lotus Holy Mother, I will let bygones be bygones and will put you in an important position again. If you don't … "A fierce light flashed across the Emperor's face. Needless to say, he knew what the consequences would be.
Damn it, I knew there was a conspiracy. How can I enter the Emperor's bedroom so casually? To think that Old Xu dared to say that it was a great favor. It was too late for regrets. He thought of his interactions with An Biru. Although she always made things difficult for him, she also showed concern for him. This kind of half-friend, half-enemy relationship gave him a unique feeling. Not to mention that he didn't know the whereabouts of Sister An. Even if he knew, he couldn't say it.
Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and laughed heartily, "Your Majesty, you're treating me as a vile person. Lin San, I can deceive the world, but I will never deceive myself. It's true that I know Sister An, but I also know you. I helped you destroy the White Lotus Sect, but Sister An saved my life. She was just a weak woman who had lost her pillar of support. She had long since lost the will to oppose China. I haven't done anything wrong to the Emperor, but I also won't do anything wrong to my friends. "
"How dare you!" The Emperor slammed his dragon throne and said, "You dare to compare me to the White Lotus traitor? Come on, drag Lin San away. Kill him! "
Several burly guards fiercely pounced on him. Lin Wanrong struggled to break free and loudly said, "I, Lin, was originally a small servant of the Xiao Family. I didn't seek fame or fortune. I never thought of ascending to the throne. It was Your Majesty who forcefully pulled me here, but now you want to kill me because of a strange matter. Your Majesty, you're not doing this right. "
Several guards pulled him away. Several times, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but want to touch the gun in his bosom. But when he thought that the person sitting in front of him was Qing Xuan's father, his heart was really in a difficult position.
The Emperor's expression was dark and clear. His eyes alternated between anger and calmness. When he pulled Lin San away, he helplessly shook his head and bitterly smiled, "He really is a thorn. Little Weizi, the person you found for me really has some guts. "
The blind Old Man Wei flashed out from behind the tent. He bowed and knelt on the ground, saying, "This servant begs Master to show mercy and spare his life. He didn't know anything about this matter and got involved because of this servant's selfishness. I beg Master to spare his life. "
The Emperor snorted, "Little Wei, how can there be innocent people in this world? Everyone died for a reason they deserved to die. You say he's innocent, but he sacrificed himself for our China's royal family. How can he be innocent? He's a talent, but it's a pity that he's a bit stubborn! "
"Master, being stubborn isn't necessarily a bad thing. Since he's willing to sacrifice his life for his friends, it's better than those who sell their friends for benefits. This old servant remembers that when the late Emperor was alive, he praised you and said that you have a firm and unyielding character. You can endure for twenty years and deliver a fatal blow. Although this Lin San doesn't have your forbearance, he has your charm in his stubbornness. "
"Hahahaha — —" The Emperor laughed loudly, saying, "Little Wei, it's hard for you to still remember father's words. Very good, very good. You're right, there are many traitors in this world, and it's rare to see someone as unyielding as Lin San. Since he isn't afraid of being beheaded for a traitor, he definitely won't betray me in the future. "
"Then why does Your Majesty still — —" Old Man Wei was puzzled, but the Emperor cut him off, saying, "Do you really think I want to kill him?" A glimmer of light flashed through the Emperor's eyes, but the smile at the corner of his mouth became even more obvious.
"This old servant understands." Old Man Wei was delighted and quickly kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty has great talent and great foresight. This servant admires you greatly."
The Emperor personally helped him up and said, "Little Wei, I know you're loyal and devoted to me. The Lin San you've chosen is not bad, but the Su Mubai that I've spent so much effort to nurture has disappointed me. A carefully watered flower is not as healthy as a wild peanut. I finally understand this logic today. "
Old Wei was delighted, but he didn't dare to show any of it. The power of heaven was hard to predict. Who knew if the Emperor was speaking the truth or not? The Emperor continued, "Lin San is a good seedling, but he's in cahoots with the White Lotus Holy Mother. This is something I cannot tolerate. This time, I will completely sever his thoughts. "
A cold light flashed through the Emperor's eyes. He could no longer hide the murderous intent on his face. He shouted, "Come — —"
A young eunuch quickly flashed in and said, "This servant is here!"
"Pass down the order. Publish the list tonight and post it all over the streets and alleys of the capital. Say that there is a suspect. As a general of the court, when he besieged the White Lotus Holy Mother, he was in cahoots with the White Lotus Holy Mother. This crime cannot be forgiven. Take him to the Celestial Prison tonight and execute him at the market tomorrow afternoon. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The young eunuch received the order and left. Old Wei was shocked. The Emperor smiled slightly and said, "Little Weizi, do you understand what I mean?"
Old Man Wei lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is forcing the White Lotus Holy Mother to come and save him tonight. If she doesn't come, there will definitely be animosity between her and Lin San. If she comes, it will be over. Your Majesty is wise. "
The Emperor nodded. "Little Weizi, in the end, it is still you who understands my thoughts the best. Lin San, ah, Lin San, don't disappoint me. "
…
F * ck, rebel. If you don't rebel, your head will really fall to the ground. Being escorted out of the door by the Imperial Bodyguards, Lin Wanrong's mind was spinning rapidly. She was just about to reach into her pocket for her spear when she saw Gao Gonggong hurriedly rushing over. Looking at Lin Wanrong, he loudly announced, "His Majesty has issued an imperial decree, temporarily Lin San is to be imprisoned in the Imperial Prison."
Celestial Prison? Lin Wanrong couldn't wrap his head around it. Why did the death penalty suddenly become a reprieve? Should I still rebel? F * ck, the Emperor is really not happy enough.
Eunuch Gao walked over and softly said, "Official Lin, the Emperor has said to have you temporarily stay in the Celestial Prison for a few days to reflect on your mistakes. Once you have thought it through, report to the Emperor."
Reflect on my mistakes in the Celestial Prison? This was an undisguised threat. He hurriedly asked, "What if I haven't thought it through? Did the Emperor say what to do? "
"The Emperor did not mention this." Eunuch Gao shook his head. "The might of the heavens is hard to predict. As servants, how can we guess the Emperor's great talent and strategy? The few of you — "Eunuch Gao pointed at the guards." Serve Official Lin well. If he loses even a hair, be careful that the Emperor doesn't cut off your heads. "
The fiendish guards immediately let go of Lin Wanrong's hand. One of the guards, who seemed to be the leader, put on a fawning smile and said, "Official Lin, please come with me."
Lin Wanrong finally understood what it meant to have the mind of an emperor. One moment, he would be beheaded, and the next, he would be thrown into the Celestial Prison. After being tossed around like this several times, even if they weren't chopped to death, they would be scared to death. Lin Wanrong turned around to look at the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He saw that it was brightly lit, but it was quiet. The Emperor, who had been speaking so harshly just a moment ago, had disappeared in the blink of an eye. He helplessly shook his head. Qing Xuan, your father's personality is too difficult to serve. He almost beheaded your husband.
People who had been taken care of were different. The guards didn't even search his body before "inviting" him into the Celestial Prison. There was already a warden respectfully waiting in front of him. He carefully led him into a spacious and tidy room. There was a silk quilt, a jade bed, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The four treasures of the study and toiletries were all available. Other than the slight lack of freedom, he had everything else. How was this prison? It was even more comfortable than staying in a hotel.
Lin Wanrong looked around in disbelief. He found it funny. If he lost his job in the future, he would just eat prison food in this Celestial Prison. The warden smiled and said, "Daren, what do you need? This little one will go and buy it for you."
Lin Wanrong took out a banknote and handed it to the warden. "I don't need anything. Thank you, Big Brother. This little brother will treat everyone to a drink. "
"How can this be!" The warden struggled for a while, but in the end, he still put the banknote away. The smile on his face became even more eager. "Daren, do you want the furen in your residence to serve you tonight? Where is your residence? Which furen do you want? Or do you want the popular young mistresses of the Eight Great Alleys? This little one will summon them for you now. "
Lin Wanrong sucked in a breath of cold air. This service was really good. However, he still couldn't let the Grand Mistress know about his imprisonment. Otherwise, he didn't know what that lass would do.
Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled. "I have too many wives and lovers. If I summon one of them, the others will definitely throw a tantrum. It's better to forget about it. Big Brother, the service here is not bad. Oh, before me, who was the Lord who stayed here? "
"Replying to you, Lord Xu Wei stayed here a few days ago." The warden said respectfully.
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment before he laughed. So Old Xu also stayed in the Celestial Prison. In that case, I, Lin San, and Xu Wei are on the same level. My imprisonment in the Celestial Prison was not unjust!
