Chapter 38

Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi, and Jinsuo were taken back to prison again.

Jin Suo grabbed Ziwei's hand, shook it quickly, and shouted:

"Why did the Emperor ask me to go to Mongolia? I don't want to go to Mongolia. I want to behead my head with you! You all have your head beheaded, why am I doing alone?"

Ziwei held her hand tightly and comforted:

"Living is better than dying, Jinsuo! You must cherish your life! This is my order and my request! Over the years, I have not made good arrangements for you, dragging you to this point today, and making you sad for Erkang's affairs. I am really sorry for you!" "Why did you say this? I am so sad that I am going to cry if you say this again! You will go to the guillotine tomorrow, what should I do? Miss, go and beg the emperor, I will die together!"

You have a great life. Don’t make trouble when you are dead!" Xiaoyanzi shouted, “Ziwei and I are both dead. You just happened to help us live. In the future, when we meet again underground, tell us what wonderful things we have missed!" As he said that, he reached out to touch his neck, and he was still very scared. He asked Ziwei, “Ziwei, is that executioner very straightforward? What if my neck is very hard and I keep slashing with one knife? If he slashes with one knife on the left and one knife on the right, will I be miserable?”

"Don't be afraid, I heard that those executioners are very experienced and will hit the ground with one knife!" Ziwei said.

"I wonder if my head falls to the ground will still hurt? Do you feel it? Then..." Xiaoyanzi thought about it, shrank her neck and asked again, "When my head falls to the ground, will my soul run with the head or with the body?"

Jin Suo looked at the two of them and heard Xiaoyanzi's dialogue, and could no longer help it. He let out a wow and burst into tears.

"No, no, how could we get to this point? The beheaded ones, the beheaded ones, the beheaded ones, the beheaded ones, the beheaded ones, the beheaded ones, the beheaded ones... how could it be so miserable?"

Ziwei hugged Jinsuo tightly and said with tears:

"Be brave! If you are so sad, I will be sad too! What a golden son!"

She stared at Jinsuo, "We are so embarrassed now, I want to prepare some 'clothing' for you, but I can't prepare!" She took a gold necklace from her neck and put it on Jinsuo's neck. "This necklace is the last thing my mother gave me. You can use it as a souvenir! I will never need it anymore! If you encounter difficulties, you can at least exchange it for some money..." She also reminded, "That Mongolia is far away and the climate is dry. You must be careful all the way and take care of me!"

Jin Suo touched the necklace around his neck and cried in tears:

"No! I won't be separated from you... There must be a turning point. I don't believe we will do this..."

As he was talking, suddenly a large group of jailmen came over.

"Is the turn of time already here?" Jin Zuo shouted hopefully.

The jailer shouted:

"We are ordered to take people to offend Jinsuo immediately!"

The prison guard opened the prison door and took a big wooden shackle, put it on Jinsuo's neck without saying a word, and then put it on Jinsuo's shackles and handcuffs. Jinsuo was shocked and scared, and struggled:

"What is this? I don't want it! Don't!"

The jailer slapped Jin Suo in the face with a snap.

"Don't move! Now, are there any portion you say 'No'?"

The little swallow was furious, as fast as lightning, and slapped the prison guard and shouted:

"If you dare to hit Jinsuo, I will give you back! If it is not enough, I will give you another one!" With a snap, he slapped the prison guard again, "Anyway, I will behead my head tomorrow! Just report to the emperor, I will hit you, and let him chop my head a few more times!"

"Come here! Come here..." the jailer shouted.

The guard rushed in and his sword was unsheathed. Ziwei hurriedly grabbed Xiaoyanzi and said:

"Don't fight with them anymore. We are in the sun, and there is nothing we can do!"

Xiaoyanzi shouted while pulling Jinsuo's shackles and handcuffs:

"What's the matter of 'buzzing a batch of sheep'? I'll beat him a batch of wolves'! I'll fight one day by day!" I shouted to the prison guard, "What are you going to do with this on her? Why don't you take it down quickly?"

"Take it down? Joke!" the prison guard shouted fiercely, "I can't take it down for several months along the way!" He dragged Jinsuo out the door with his iron chain, "Go! Let's go! Let's go to Mongolia immediately!"

"Jinsuo..." Ziwei didn't expect that parting was about to come, and her heart was immediately shattered.

Jin Zuo was shocked and grabbed the iron bar desperately, crying in shock:

"No... no... Miss! Xiaoyanzi... save me... let me be with you... I don't want to leave! I don't want to separate from you, save me..."

Ziwei reached out to La Jinsuo, but was knocked hard by the jailer with a wooden stick. Ziwei felt pain and her hands relaxed. Jinsuo was dragged out of the prison door by the jailer and the guards.

The prison door was locked with a click.

"Jinsuo! Take care of yourself and protect yourself..." Ziwei cried bitterly, "I am dead, and I will accompany you in heaven and accompany you to Mongolia. Don't be afraid..."

Xiaoyanzi pounced on the iron bars and shouted at the prison guards:

"You dogs! If you dare to bully Jinsuo on the road, I will eat you one by one if I become a ghost. I will peel your skin, eat your meat, and drink your blood..."

Jin Zuo cried:

"Miss, Xiaoyanzi...I can't see you off..."

Jin Suo cried violently and shouted, and his shackles and handcuffs were clattering and dragged away.

Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi hugged each other and fell to the ground crying.

Erkang was in the men's prison and vaguely heard all this and knew that Jin Suo had been taken away. He sat on the ground, held his head with his hands, listened to the crying of Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi, and his heart broke with them. Looking at the gloomy walls and iron bars around him, he was extremely smart, but at this moment, he was completely helpless.

I don’t know when I will be taken to the Ministry of Justice? Tomorrow, the two princes will be beheaded. Will Liu Qing and Liu Hong fight to the death to save him? Where is Yongqi now? He must have left the palace, right? He thought about it all the time and thought about it until night.

After the second update, there was movement in the prison, and a sound of footsteps and the light of the fire on the torch came all the way.

Erkang looked over in shock and his heart suddenly jumped. Concubine Ling and Qing'er were in front, followed by Xiao Dengzi, Xiao Zhuozi, Mingyue and Caixia. The prison guards respectfully illuminated the torches and shone the prison as if it were daytime. Concubine Ling walked over and said majesticly:

"The emperor is particularly concerned. Although the prisoners committed a major case, they are royal relatives after all, so they should not be neglected!"

"Zhe! It's dark here, the empress and the princess are easy to leave!" The prison guard responded in a pleasing manner.

Everyone came to the front of the prison. Erkang's whole body tensed and shouted:

"Empress Ling! Qing'er!"

Concubine Ling gave Ekang a meaningful look and said loudly:

"The emperor wants me to come and see you and give you some winter clothes! It can be seen that the emperor will treat you well in his heart! After you transfer to the Ministry of Justice, you still have to think about giving up your merits and committing crimes at all times!"

Erkang answered alertly:

"I thank the Emperor for his grace! Thank you for the grace of Concubine Ling!"

When the prison guard opened the prison door, Concubine Ling said to the prison guard:

"Let me say a few words to Mr. Fu, you can avoid it!"

"Zhe!" The jailers inserted the torches into the corner of the house and retreated one after another.

When Concubine Ling and Qing'er saw that the prison guards had left, they looked back nervously at Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi.

Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi immediately rushed into the cell, reached out to remove Erkang's tights, and changed into Erkang's pre-prepared eunuch uniform. Qing'er said urgently:

"I'm going to tell a long story! When you put on the eunuch's costume, you pretend to be Xiao Dengzi and get out of prison with Xiao Zhuozi. Xiao Dengzi will go to jail here instead of you! We have bribed two of the prison guards here, and will open your eyes and close your eyes! Then, you go straight to Xihua Gate, outside the door, Xiao Guizi is waiting there in a carriage! You get on the carriage, wait for another half a cup of tea to see if we can rescue Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei! If you can't see us, don't wait any longer, hurry up and go to Lao Ke in Maoer Hutong! The Fifth Prince, Liu Qing, and Liu Hong are waiting for you there!"

Erkang said nervously while dressing quickly:

"Are you sure to rescue Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei?"

"We will try our best to rescue you. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it should not be difficult! After all, the two of us represent the emperor and the other represent the Lao Fu!" Concubine Ling said hurriedly.

Erkang is so excited and grateful:

"But... we ran away. What should you do if the matter is revealed tomorrow?"

"Don't worry about us anymore. When the matter is revealed, I will tell you frankly, I will let you go! The emperor has lost Concubine Xiang and has lost a group of children like you. He is reluctant to lose me again!" Concubine Ling said.

"The same is true for Lord Lafayette. She can't bear to leave me!" Qing'er said.

"What if they are willing to give up?" Erkang felt something was wrong and opened his eyes wide.

Qing'er smiled gracefully:

"That's what Xiaoyanzi said, 'I want one first, one dead'!"

Erkang was a little hesitant.

"That little Dengzi pretended to be me... didn't he implicate him?"

"I won't implicate him, I said, I have bribed the two prisoners. When you leave, he will come over and release Xiao Dengzi secretly! After all, it is you who convicted of this, not Xiao Dengzi. As long as Xiao Dengzi wears the eunuch's clothes back, no one will catch him wherever he goes!"

Xiao Dengzi bowed and bowed to Ekang:

"Uncle Fu! You can escape with the two princes! Don't worry about slaves! The servants are blessed by Bodhisattvas!"

Qing'er rushed to Ekang.

"Go quickly! Time is urgent, we have to save Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi! You don't want your mother-in-law and mother anymore. I'm sure that I and Concubine Ling will be fine! If you leave the palace, run away quickly! We all will have a date in the future!"

"Then... let's go and save Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi together! They are there!" Erkang said, and walked towards Ziwei and the others.

Concubine Ling hurriedly pushed him:

"You go first! One by one! Go to the palace gate to wait! If we fail and fail to rescue Xiaoyanzi and the others, you still have a glimmer of hope! When you arrive at the court tomorrow, you can still make a desperate bet! Did you hear it?"

Erkang trembled and understood.

"I understand!" He clasped his fists at Qing'er and Concubine Ling, "Thousands of words are all indifferent! Thank you!"

Concubine Ling said loudly on purpose:

"Little Dengzi! Xiao Zhuozi! Go to Yanxi Palace to help me get a quilt. Why is it so cold here? Don't make Mr. Fu freeze and sick!"

"Zhe!" Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi answered loudly.

As soon as Xiao Zhuozi pulled Erkang, who was disguised as a eunuch, the two of them walked away quickly and walked out of the prison door smoothly.
