Chapter 11: Unexpectedly Framed

“Suyan!”

A muffled thunder through the ears.”

Su Yan looked so sweaty that he lost his voice and called out, “Your Majesty, I don’t understand.”

Emperor Jinglong just coldly laughed: “You do not understand, but call the Prince understand! You usually get some shadow bamboo, horse hanging Lu Pheasant and so on to teach the Prince to play, I turn a blind eye as if I don’t know, now even the dog has the nerve to take this kind of obscenity to corrupt the Prince’s heart, the crime is to be put to death!”

Su Yan’s hands and feet cold, horrified to the extreme but calm down, straightened up and said: “His Majesty’s sudden drive to the East Palace, and suddenly searched the atlas out, but because someone to impeach the matter?”

Emperor Jinglong did not expect him to come out with this speech, paused: “The Censorate and the six sections of the governor should be responsible for correcting the responsibility of the hundred officials, impeachment of the evils should be.”

“If I have the intention to incite the Prince, and know that the failure will be disaster, certainly a thousand hidden, secretive behavior. The only people in and out of the East Palace are the inner ministers, and the speech officer is an outsider, so how did he know about the tent?”

Emperor Jinglong froze, and added: “Or there may be palace people leaking it.”

Su Yan said, “Your Majesty why not think about it in turn, or someone wants to leak the first potential, framing the Eastern Palace?”

Emperor Jinglong’s body was shaken, fiercely looked down to see Su Yan, only to see his face was still, his eyes were clear and bright, for a moment he couldn’t say anything.

Su Yan cut his head: “I am humble, death is not enough, but His Royal Highness is clean and self-loving, can not be allowed to have the heart of the people defile. I hope that the emperor is clear about this.”

Emperor Jinglong was silent for a long time and slowly said, “You really didn’t do it?”

Su Yan only tilted his head and looked straight at the emperor without saying a word.

Emperor Jinglong looked into his eyes, his gaze easing down a little, “I will clear up this matter.”

Su Yan said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your clarity.”

Emperor Jinglong turned his head to look out the window. Heavy glazed roof in the afterglow brilliant light, more set off by the gnarled eaves and arches of the obscure, a faction of iron gray color, as if there is a cold gas to penetrate out from the inside.

When he turned back, his face had become very ugly, and he called out in a loud voice, “Lan Xi!”

Lan Xi came in through the door with her waist contained, “The slave girl is here.”

Emperor Jinglong coldly said, “Pass on my words, the crown prince’s readers Su Yan play idle waste of school, assist the crown prince to read poorly, there is a disgrace to their duties, order caning thirty. For the previous offense and punishment, add twenty.”

Su Yan was shocked, tugging at the corner of the emperor’s robe and pleading, “Your Majesty–“

Emperor Jinglong turned his face, allowing him to pull, and said in a deep voice, “Drag it out.”

Su Yan pushed away the chamberlain’s supportive hold and got up to go out with a pale face.

Jinglong emperor sat down, only staring out the window step corridor does not make a sound, fingers slowly rubbing the smooth corner of the case. The room was silent for a moment, seemed to be able to hear the sound of the wind through the eaves and teeth, chillingly chilling.

Lan Xi hesitated again and again, and said softly, “Imperial Master, the sky has changed, I’m afraid it’s going to rain, is it possible to go back to Qianqing Palace first?”

Emperor Jinglong shook his head, “It’s getting windy, see how thinly you’re dressed, go down and add some clothes.”

Nearly April, although the change of day, but do not feel the cold, blue hi slightly stunned, suddenly enlightened through the do, that is, the Prince later know also nothing.”

Fubao looked at his two arms rope, with a crying voice: “Su adults are wrongly accused, the emperor …….”

Su Yan face slowly revealed a puzzling look, “The emperor …… naturally has the emperor s thoughts, you and I can not guess.”

The guard gave a low urging cry, and Su Yan added, “Remember to remember.” Turning to go.

Fubao stood in the damp wind, suddenly felt a cold neck, it turned out to be a large rain from the sky, gradually Man Yan into a hanging silver curtain, even the silhouette of the people can not be seen clearly.

–

In the square in front of the Noon Gate, a hundred lieutenants, sharply clad in armor and armed with wooden sticks, were majestically lined up on both sides.

West Edward erected under the block umbrella cover rain, the left side of a dozen eunuchs, headed by the Secretary of the young director Yao Shun. Jinyiwei Commanding Officer Feng to sit on the right side of the evil, behind standing more than twenty men.

Su Yan see this murderous gesture, the heart hair, and then think of the history of those who have been caned ministers, bedridden for several months is considered good luck, if the supervisor of the punishment is intended to be punished, but also non-death that is disabled, the face is more and more white without half of the human color.

The lieutenants came up and stripped him of his uniform and pressed him to the ground. Su Yan in a plain white sheet was watered by the rain, outlined a thin and even body, in the cool wind slightly trembling, as beautiful as the clouds will soon be dissipated in general, even escorted him over to the guards face also showed the color of intolerance.

Yao Shun pushed the tea froth with the lid of his cup, his eyelids raised without lifting, “Set aside the stick.”

But a voice as sharp as a strung string came through the air, “Wait–“

Yao Shun turned around and got up and bowed, his face full of smiles, “Why is Eunuch Lan here, it’s raining so hard, careful to get wet.”

“How can we be in the business of picking the sun and the rain, isn’t it just as hard for Eunuch Yao?”

“那是那是，不知蓝公公此番是奉了什么差事？”

Blue happy from the umbrella Duo Guier hand received the cotton lining, smilingly said: “It’s nothing, the emperor see the wind is cold, with our family to go down to add a piece of clothing.”

Yao Shun looked at the two winter coat-like thick cotton linings, and twisted his head to look at the criminal officials lying on the ground waiting to be tortured, his face changed slightly, and he busied himself by saying, “Don’t worry about Eunuch Lan, I’ll save the Emperor’s meaning.”

He threw an eye toward the chamberlain, and immediately someone took the cotton lining and came forward, stuffing it into Su Yan’s center sheet, and then it bulged up under his waist, like a large piece of Yuanbao that had shifted its shape.

Blue Joy went off with a satisfied nod.
