Chapter 1119 It’s bad luck for them

Liu Stone nodded hurriedly, "I understand."

At this moment, he was being cautious towards Bai Ruozhu, and he also had more admiration for him. Wu Shangzhi and he were both captains of the Imperial Guard. He knew how good his martial arts were, but he still turned into a soft-footed shrimp in front of Mrs. Jiang. ?

Thanks to Mrs. Jiang's ability, otherwise he might lose his head today.

Liu Tong escorted Wu Shangzhi and walked outside. Passing by Ning Yu's cell, he couldn't help but take a look and saw Ning Yu lying quietly in the corner sleeping. He couldn't help but mutter, Ning Yu knew what happened last night. I do not know?

When they reached the gate, everyone looked suspicious when they saw him carrying Wu Shangzhi. Liu Stone glared at him and said, "Captain Wu secretly drank while on duty last night. This is dereliction of duty. Please tell me honestly. Last night Who drank with him?"

There were two other night guards last night. They were knocked unconscious by Wu Shangzhi's medicine. When they woke up, they thought they had accidentally fallen asleep during the night watch. They didn't dare to say anything for fear of being punished. When Liu Stone asked this question, he hurriedly said : "The young one definitely didn't drink. I don't believe it, Captain Liu heard it."

Liu Tong didn't want others to get close to Wu Zhishang, so he snorted coldly and said, "Wu Zhishang will definitely be punished. You should keep your skin tight. You don't know how you died!"

The two of them shivered. Neglect of duty was usually a slap on the wrist, but if a serious criminal escaped, they might really lose their heads.

Liu Stone carried the unconscious Wu Zhishang out of the prison. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one thought much about it, and no one connected Wu Zhishang with Bai Ruozhu.

Soon, Liu Tong went to Cining Palace and had someone notify him. The Queen Mother immediately summoned him.

When he saw Wu Zhishang lying unconscious on the ground, he saluted the Queen Mother and said, "The humble minister Liu Tong came to see the Queen Mother and pay his respects to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at the people on the ground and thought, isn't this person a confidant of Concubine Liu?

"What's going on?" the Queen Mother asked hurriedly.

Liu Tong looked around. The Queen Mother understood and asked the others to go down, leaving only Liu Mu who was close to her.

"Queen Mother, this person was discovered by a lower official who got up early to inspect. He broke into Mrs. Jiang's cell without permission and tried to torture her to extract a confession. Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang was very skilled in medicine and brought him down with medicine," Wu Zhishang said.

"What?" The Queen Mother jumped up. She was also a woman, so she didn't understand the fishiness of it. Liu Mu also opened his eyes, wishing to poke a few holes in the unconscious Wu Zhishang's body.

How dare he insult someone whom the Queen Mother asked to take care of carefully. Do you really think that this harem belongs to Concubine Liu?

"Okay, okay, Liu Mu, send someone to bring a message to the emperor. The Ai family will have to ask the emperor to make the final decision on this matter!" The Queen Mother wanted someone to chop off Wu Zhishang's head, but this was not enough. The emperor had to punish Liu severely. Concubine, Concubine Liu is becoming more and more lawless.

Liu Tong thought that he had conveyed everything, and at least he would not have to bear the responsibility, so he hurriedly relayed what Bai Ruozhu asked him to take.

The Queen Mother sighed after hearing this, "Ruozhu is also a fierce woman. In the final analysis, it was the Ai family who failed to protect her." The Queen Mother said that her eyes were red, and she was on the verge of tears. Liu Tong was shocked, thinking that the Queen Mother looked at her like this. Fortunately, nothing happened to Zhongna Bai. He went there early in the morning. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what kind of crime he would be punished for.

Soon, the emperor drove to Cining Palace. He had already listened to Liu Mu's general talk on the way, and his face was very gloomy. Even if he didn't trust Bai Ruozhu, Bai Ruozhu was still Jiang Yichun's wife. If he sent Bai Ruozhu into In prison, someone violated the Bai family, so how could he face Jiang Yichun? Doesn't it make him appear that the emperor is fatuous and incompetent?

"Go, let someone wake up Wu Zhishang, and I will examine him carefully." The emperor said to his attendant Wang Shun.

Wang Shun was also a good man. Instead of calling for the imperial doctor, he ordered the young eunuch to bring a plate of water and pour it on Wu Zhishang.

It was now the twelfth lunar month of winter, and Wu Zhishang's drug addiction had almost passed. He jumped up when he was stimulated by the cold water.

Liu Mu and Wang Shun took action at the same time, beating Wu Zhishang back to the ground. Only then did Wu Zhishang realize that this was no longer a dark prison cell. The bright yellow figure in front of him was the current emperor!

Scenes from last night flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly said: "I have something important to report. Last night, when I checked the prison, I found that Ning Yu escaped from prison to rescue the Bai family. I fought with Ning Yu, but I didn't want to be killed by Bai." Feeling dizzy."

The Queen Mother angrily slapped her palm on the table, "That's nonsense. Ning Yu and Bai Ruozhu were both in prison. When did they escape? Did you take advantage of your position to go to Bai's cell to extract a confession?"

"The Queen Mother clearly noticed that my subordinates really saw Bai's prison door open. Ning Yu was trying to take Bai to escape, so I fought with them. It's a pity that my subordinates are incompetent. Please punish me, the Emperor and the Queen Mother!" Wu Zhishang reacted quickly. All of a sudden the responsibility was pushed away.

The emperor glanced at Liu Tong and said, "Tell me what's going on?"

Liu Tong said hurriedly: "My subordinates got up early to inspect and saw that Mr. Ning's cell door was locked and that he was resting. It was not what Wu Zhishang said at all. The lock in the sky prison was not an ordinary lock. How could Ning Yu escape without the key? ?”

"And when I went to Bai's cell, I saw Wu Zhishang unconscious. The cell door was open. Wu Zhishang had a bunch of keys from the cell around his waist. I thought that if Bai and Ning Yu escaped from prison together, they should have escaped long ago. If you escape, how can you continue to stay in the cell?"

Wu Zhishang became anxious and shouted: "That's because they were discovered by me and had to give up their plan temporarily."

This time, the emperor chuckled, "You are unconscious. Do you pose a threat to them? Do they need to change their plans because of you? Tell me who was sent to extract a confession. Tell me honestly. I don't want to embarrass you. .”

Wu Zhishang still wanted to argue, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty, I dare not say anything false. Ning Yu did fight with me. By the way, I remember patting him on the shoulder." After one palm pass, the emperor will send someone to check Ning Yu's shoulder and we will know."

"I still know Ning Yu's temperament. It's impossible for him to escape from prison. Your excuse is full of loopholes." The emperor said coldly.

At this time, a shadow flashed into the hall, saluted in front of the emperor, and said, "My subordinates have checked. The two night guards were stunned last night. They only had contact with Wu Zhishang before they fainted."

Wu Zhishang saw that the man was completely wrapped in black cloth, his face could not be seen clearly, and his body still felt a little unreal, so he knew that this man was one of the famous shadow guards.

The shadow guards were already dispatched, which showed that the emperor attached great importance to this matter. Wu Zhishang trembled. Didn't he say that Ning Yu and Bai Ruozhu were deceiving the public with their evil words? Why did he think there was more to it than that?
