It seems that Li Hai didn't want to harm Yan Li, otherwise he wouldn't have sent such an old man as Eunuch Liu; moreover, the hundreds of guards brought by Eunuch Liu didn't look like people capable of fighting from the outside, nor did they look good. How vicious.
"The queen wants to..." Eunuch Liu asked back.
Rong Chang'an smiled and said: "The emperor promised me that he would inquire about the prime minister's whereabouts from Nie Lingzhen. It seems that he has already found out. The prime minister is inside the Yushitai. Eunuch Liu, can you let me meet the prime minister first?" "
Her heart has already flown to Yan Li, and she wonders if he was abused by Yushitai during the time he was imprisoned in Yushitai.
All civil and military officials, the place they are most afraid of is Yushitai.
Some people have not committed any crimes themselves, but when they arrive at Yushitai, the black will become white, and the white will become black. And the person who decides whether it is black or white is Li Hai. How many loyal ministers and righteous men died in the prison of Yushitai.
"This..." Eunuch Liu was in a bit of trouble, but Li Hai never told him that he could ask others to visit Yan Li in advance.
Rong Chang'an naturally saw Eunuch Liu's thoughts, "Eunuch Liu, don't worry, everything is on my shoulders. If the emperor blames me, I, Chang'an, will bear it alone."
Today, Eunuch Liu has to agree if he doesn't agree, she wants to see Yan Li first no matter what.
Eunuch Liu could tell from Rong Changan's resolute chin, determined eyes and serious face that Rong Changan was determined to see Yan Li. Eunuch Liu personally didn't have any prejudice against Rong Chang'an, on the contrary, he felt that Rong Chang'an was much better than Zi Yan.
"Since the empress wants to see the prime minister, how dare this old slave stop you! But this old slave said something earlier, only if the empress agrees, this old slave will allow you to visit."
Rong Changan then asked: "Eunuch Liu, please tell me, what are you talking about?"
Eunuch Liu thought for a while and said, "The Queen also knows that this old slave came to fetch Yan Li by imperial decree. If anything happens to Prime Minister Yan Li, this old slave will not be able to afford it. So, can the Queen talk to the old Slave to be a bond—forgive me for being presumptuous—guarantee that Prime Minister Yan can be sent back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion intact?”
Eunuch Liu spoke very humble and polite, his words were full of respect for Rong Changan.
Rong Chang'an also knew that although Eunuch Liu obeyed Li Hai's words, his heart was not bad and he was a conscientious eunuch. Moreover, during the days when Rong Changan entered the palace, he took good care of Rong Changan. Since he was already dozens of years old, Rong Changan didn't want to embarrass him.
"Eunuch Liu, what are you talking about! What do you think I will do to the Prime Minister? I will bring him to Eunuch as the Prime Minister is in prison."
Eunuch Liu said respectfully: "With the queen's words, the servant can rest assured!"
Rong Chang'an thanked Eunuch Liu, and Chuntao followed. The two entered Yushitai, and after winding and twisting, they walked to the basement and came to the so-called "Heavenly Prison".
At this time, Yan Li was holding a stone with a pointed end and a round end in his hand, facing a moldy mud wall, and was seriously scribbling something. While writing, he also said in his mouth: "I compared my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
It seems that he is showing his loyalty to Li Hai! Helplessly, what Li Hai wanted was not his loyalty, but his talent, and when his talent was used up, he was thrown into the sky.
The loyal ministers in history cannot escape such a fate every time.
Rong Changan walked down the stone steps gently, even though the sound was so soft, Yan Li's ears twitched. This was a voice he was all too familiar with. How could it sound in this place that was closed like an iron box? Could it be that he had a dream
He didn't believe that the person in his heart would come, even if she wanted to, Li Hai wouldn't let her come. The hard stone in his hand slides on the soft mud wall. The words on the wall are not regular script, not running script, but crazy cursive. Like a kite string, no matter how it is wound, the end of the string is always in the hands of the kite flyer.
This coherence is really magnificent, like a thousand troops galloping and roaring.
Writing and fighting have found a suitable place at this moment, Rong Changan usually can't understand the wild grass flying white, but at this moment she understands it, really understands it.
"Good! Good! The prime minister's handwriting is really shocking. I have seen many calligraphers in Chang'an. Although the calligraphy is beautiful, it has no temperament. I saw the prime minister's handwriting today. It is really vivid, as if every day Every character is alive, and every gesture represents a kind of emotion. Not only is the image beautiful, but the temperament is also very beautiful!"
When Yan Li heard Rong Changan's voice, his body shook slightly: Is she really here? What is she doing here? What would Li Hai think if he knew she was here
Was it Rong Changan who praised him? Rong Chang'an, who usually looks at people with his nostrils, also knows how to praise people
He didn't dare to look back, he held the stone in his hand and pressed it hard against the wall, which was the most forceful stroke to penetrate the back of the wall.
The dim light reflected Yan Li's complicated face.
Rong Changan stood at the prison door, looking at him with watery eyes. why doesn't he speak? He was willing to vomit blood on the tower because of her, and in order to see her on weekdays, he would have lost himself a little bit; but now that she is standing in front of him, why doesn't he look back
"Prisoner, open the prison!" Rong Changan said quietly.
What made her tone soften
There was a sound of iron chains, and then the prison door opened: "Queen, Eunuch Liu has ordered you not to speak too long to the prime minister, otherwise..."
"I see, let's go! I want to talk to the prime minister alone for a while."
"OK!"
Get out of the prison.
"Queen, is Chuntao going out too?" Chuntao asked softly.
Some things she had to talk to Yan Li face to face.
"Chuntao, you go out too! No one is allowed to come in without my consent, do you understand?"
Chuntao agreed: "Okay, the servant girl will go out and watch for the queen."
Chuntao also went out.
The prison is as cold as an ice cellar, it seems that it cannot be described by just cold, but by the word freezing! Rong Changan felt a piercing pain in his ears.
But in such a cold underground prison, the only things Yan Li used to spend the night were a straw quilt, a wooden pillow, and a rotten straw mat with straw under it.
Rong Changan approached Yan Li step by step, she wanted to take off the scarlet cloak she was wearing and put it on Yan Li.
"What are you doing here?" Yan Li's alienated voice made Rong Changan a little hurt, and when she was a foot away from Yan Li, she stopped in her tracks.
"I... I... You saved me, so can't I come and see you?" Rong Changan said.
"This is not where you should come." Yan Li said coldly.
