Li Baolu entered the palace with Director Su nervously. She has always been very courageous, and influenced by the memories of her previous life, she likes to look people in the eye and speak with her head upright.

So Li Baolu naturally looked up at the emperor above.

The emperor was already in a bad mood, and now he is even more unhappy. Didn't it mean that she was a child bride who was taught by Qin Xinfang since she was a child? Why is she so uneducated?

Qin Xinfang taught Li Baolu to be confident, self-respecting, and humble, but she didn't teach her to be humble. Of course, she wouldn't feel humble in front of the emperor. She was just a little scared, afraid that the emperor would pull her and Gu Jingyun out if they disagreed. .

So when they walked to the front center of the hall, Li Baolu knelt down when both sides had the best line of sight. Director Su, who was about to remind Li Baolu not to come forward, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead without any trace.

This girl was so courageous that she went all the way to this position before kneeling down.

The emperor silently stared at Li Baolu, she was very young, his granddaughter and granddaughter were older than her, but at this moment he couldn't feel any pity for her, they lied to him!

"Are you Li Bo's granddaughter?"

Li Baolu replied with a serious heart: "Yes."

A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes and said: "Then you must hate the fourth prince and Concubine Lan very much, right?"

In fact, I hate you the most. If you could enforce the law impartially, her grandfather would not be wronged at all, but Li Baolu did not dare to tell the truth.

Of course, she can't tell lies, so she said: "I don't hate the fourth prince in this matter, but I hate Concubine Lan very much."

The emperor obviously didn't believe it, "Oh?"

Li Baolu then explained: "This matter has nothing to do with the Fourth Prince. It was Concubine Lan Gui who did it. The injustice is the one who owes the debt." Of course, the culprit is you.

"There is an injustice and a debtor," the emperor read it softly, and said coldly, "So Gu Jingyun is here to seek justice for his uncle?"

He slapped the table angrily, and asked in a cold voice, "How did he know that the Kaiping case was related to the Fourth Prince?"

Li Baolu raised her head and looked at him blankly. Gu Jingyun didn't find out the culprit in the Kaiping case. Speaking of which, what did he do? She didn't have time to ask this morning. She only knew that he and Li An made the fourth prince angry. .

"You have calculated that I will miss old love, so you are unscrupulous?" The emperor sneered: "I miss old love, but I hate people to deceive me the most, Gu Jingyun, Gu Jingyun..."

Li Baolu heard the emperor gnashing his teeth, interrupted him quickly: "Your Majesty!"

She was afraid, she was afraid that the emperor would utter evil words, he was the emperor, he could speak golden and jade words, he could speak well, and he could splash water on what he said, but the consequences were not something she and Gu Jingyun could bear.

Li Baolu kowtowed twice, raised her head to look at him, suppressed the panic in her heart, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my uncle has a three-year-old daughter!"

The emperor stared at her with an ugly face, the Qin family is really courageous, no one dares to interrupt him.

But Li Baolu didn't care about this anymore, she eagerly followed her own train of thought and continued: "She is the blood of my uncle and aunt who have been waiting for nearly ten years, they love her like a treasure, because the Qin family's heirs are difficult, and the child is born with a hard time. She is weak, so they only gave her the nickname Nannan, and my uncle once joked that if she doesn’t have a younger brother in the future, they will give birth to her, and let his precious daughter be an aunt at home for the rest of her life.”

Seeing that the emperor calmed down and listened to her, Li Baolu slowed down her voice and said slowly: "My mother-in-law found out she was pregnant when she left the Gu family. Yue fell ill after a heavy rain. At that time, they could only live in a dilapidated temple with the official escort. Because it rained, no one was willing to call a doctor for my mother-in-law, and my uncle and the others Don’t worry about handing this matter over to others.”

"At that time, my mother-in-law had been pregnant for nearly six months, but her stomach was still very small, and she was in danger of miscarriage. Once a six-month-old child was miscarried, it would be very harmful to the mother, and under what circumstances, uncle and Aunts are careful not to be negligent." Li Baolu recalled the look in Gu Jingyun's eyes when he mentioned this matter, and she couldn't help feeling sour, and said with tears in her eyes: "So uncle paid off the escort officials with money and allowed him to go to the doctor. Those officials knew that aunt and The mother-in-law is in their hands, and the uncle will not escape, so they let him go."

"At that time, my mother-in-law was in a very bad situation. My aunt was on her body and mind, and my daughter was also exposed to the rain, but at that time she only had time to change her daughter into dry clothes. But she was only three years old, and she was well-clothed since childhood. Four months later She came to sleep in the wind and was frightened, and when the rain fell, her symptoms came out at the same time. She was feverish, and maybe she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak or walk, so no one knew that she was sick. It wasn't until my uncle brought the doctor back to see my mother-in-law that she had a medical treatment, and then I thought of asking the doctor to see if my daughter is also suffering from the cold..."

Li Baolu burst into tears and said: "When they found her, she was completely red with fever, her personnel affairs were unknown, the doctor was powerless, and uncle and aunt couldn't do anything about it. The life of the child is exchanged for one child. But there are no gods in this world. My daughter left without even surviving the night. The mother-in-law blamed this on herself, thinking that it was herself and the child in her belly who killed her. , uncle and aunt will put all their body and mind on her body, not to mention fever, they will notice any discomfort."

"So as soon as my husband was born, my mother-in-law always whispered in his ears that his life was bought by his little cousin. He is the only blood of the Qin family. He has to be filial to his uncle and aunt and carry the burden of the Qin family. "Li Baolu fell to the ground and cried bitterly, "We just want to rehabilitate uncle and let him return to the capital. You have never lived in Qiongzhou, and you don't know what kind of life it was."

"The best doctor in Qiongzhou County is my grandfather. Once my grandfather dies, the most famous doctors in the county may make mistakes. We live in Qiongzhou, but our wealth and life are entrusted to Uncle Chen Tong. At that time, there was a storm at sea, and if the package could not be delivered, we had to start shrinking our clothes and food. My aunt didn’t say anything, but she had a look of worry on her face, and she couldn’t sleep all night. Later, my uncle took us Carrying a hoe to open up wasteland, I worked non-stop for three hours from Mao to noon, my hands were worn out and bleeding, and I worked non-stop for a year, but the grain we grew could not even pay our small tax."

"We are like parasites who depend on people to live. If the other party stops sending things, or if something goes wrong on the way, we may be doomed. We have lived for fifteen years like this, and we can live for another fifteen years." years, can we live another fifteen years? Not to mention us, but others, can he live to that time, will his descendants be willing to support us uninterruptedly like this? Why do we ask them Do you want to do this?" Li Baolu looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, we want to live with some dignity, at least not relying on others for survival."

"Impossible," the emperor shook his head and said softly, "How could my Junde become like that? He is a capable minister of the country!"

Although the voice was low, Li Baolu still heard it, and she said with tears: "No matter how capable he is, he doesn't know how to farm, he doesn't know how to fish, and he doesn't have the strength, and he can't go outside the confines of the village. What's the use?"

The emperor was stunned, and then he said angrily: "You are changing the subject. What I want to ask is Gu Jingyun's crime of deceiving the emperor. When he first entered the palace, he said that he would not participate in the seizure of the heir, and would not be involved in it. As a teacher, I broke the rules and promoted him to be a fourth-rank imperial servant, but today he has betrayed my trust so much. Qin Xinfang is suffering, can Gu Jingyun be able to deceive the emperor?"

Li Baolu felt that the emperor was not as easy to fool as Gu Jingyun said, or he did not have the nostalgia that Gu Jingyun thought, at least now he is very sober.

Li Baolu asked nervously, "Your Majesty, can I ask my husband what he did to participate in the seizure of the heir apparent?" I hope it is not too much, otherwise they will really die today. The palace is too big to escape.

The emperor sneered, "He manipulated the forces in the court to fight against the four princes, and ordered people to tell people that the four princes were involved in the imperial guards, the military power of the Xishan camp and the northern border, and the generals of the Liaodong capital were empty-handed, and they embezzled food and cold supplies."

Li Baolu looked at him blankly, "Your Majesty, isn't this loyal to you? Wouldn't it be better if he knew it and kept it secret?"

The emperor choked for a moment, and then said angrily, "Is this what I'm angry with?" He pointed at Li Baolu's nose and scolded, "I'm angry because he didn't believe it, and what made me angry was that he deceived the emperor. We made an agreement at the beginning. The official position and reputation I gave him asylum, he is only a teacher with no power, but can a teacher know such secrets that I don’t know? Can a teacher instruct the imperial censor in the court? ? He wasted my trust in him, such an unfaithful and untrustworthy person, I can't wait to..."

"Your Majesty," Li Baolu uttered a stern voice, interrupting the harsh words he was about to utter, took two steps forward, and said with tears streaming down his face, "I see. Although I don't know the details of this matter, I just listen to As soon as you said that, I knew that Jing Yun was wrong, but I beg you not to kill us, please."

After Li Baolu finished speaking, she kowtowed "bang bang bang", her forehead hit the floor tiles like an earthquake, the emperor sitting on it hurt for her, but she didn't seem to feel it, crying: "I'm still young, I don't want to Die, I'm only thirteen years old this year, and there are still so many delicious and fun things I haven't eaten or played, please, please don't kill us..."

emperor:……

Manager Su: ...

The emperor's breath was choked in his chest, but seeing Li Baolu crying like that was obviously frightened, and he couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't want to kill Gu Jingyun, at most he would lose his current official position and no longer give him asylum. Imprison people again...

But looking at Li Baolu who was so terrified and terrified, the devil in the emperor's heart emerged, and he sneered, "Are you afraid of death?"

Li Baolu nodded again and again, raised her bruised and bruised forehead and looked at him expectantly.

The emperor smiled viciously and said: "That's very simple, just make peace with Gu Jingyun."

Li Baolu sniffed her nose, and asked with tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, is there no other way? Do you have to kill Jing Yun?"

The emperor snorted coldly.

"Then can we choose a way to die, I don't want to be beheaded," Li Baolu shuddered and said, "Why don't you prepare us a better room, let us freshen up, and then give us poison."

The emperor's entire face contorted.
