The days are short in winter, and the sun is about to rest on the mountains to the west. In the blink of an eye, it sets, and the world becomes dark.
There are lanterns hanging in the garden.
There were screams and shouts from outside, which frightened Princess Changle to death. She thought someone had sneaked into the garden to do something evil, so she quickly pulled the clothes beside the soup pool and put them on without caring about the wet water stains on her body. , seeing Princess Jinyang listening attentively, he immediately patted her and said anxiously: "You girl, if you don't get dressed quickly, what will you do if someone rushes in?"
"Ah, okay, okay, just wear it now."
Princess Jinyang quickly calmed down the excitement in her eyes, fearing that her sister would notice. She also stood up, took the clothes from her sister and put them on.
There were chaotic footsteps outside, and Princess Changle looked pale and trembling.
"If a thief breaks in, although there are guards outside to prevent the thief from succeeding, the reputation of the sisters will not be guaranteed if word gets out.
She herself doesn't care. She will follow Fang Jun in such a shadowy way in her life, but her sister is not married yet. Once her good reputation is ruined, who will treat her sincerely?
You need to know that the Princess of the Tang Dynasty has always had a bad reputation
After a long while, the voice of the Imperial Guard School Captain came from outside: "Are you okay, Your Highnesses? A thief sneaked in during the darkness and disturbed the bathing palace guests. He has been captured and will be sentenced to death!"
The guards are responsible for protecting the princess, but they were still infiltrated under their strict guard. This is a complete dereliction of duty. If the two princesses make a slight mistake, they will be punished by death.
Princess Changle calmed herself down, raised her voice slightly, and said: "I and my sister are both fine, please rest assured. I don't know who sneaked in, and what is their intention?"
Although the villa here is not as heavily guarded as the palace, it does have its own guards, and the sisters have brought many guards. Although it is not "impenetrable", it is not something that ordinary thieves can sneak into at will.
The captain outside replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, we have not yet learned the identity of the thief without trial, let alone his motive"
Suddenly, a sharp and shrill cry came: "Your Highness! Your Highness, it's me. I was wronged uh uh uh"
Halfway through the scream, it stopped abruptly as if someone was strangling his neck.
"Um?"
Princess Changle raised her eyebrows and asked curiously: "Who is this person?"
Princess Jinyang¡¯s face was sullen, Wen Yan quickly put on a smiling face and interrupted: "Who knows? Maybe he knew our identities and wanted to do something wrong. We were caught this time, but he wanted to beg for mercy."
Then he ordered to the captain outside: "Take him into custody immediately, check if he has any accomplices, and interrogate him strictly. No matter who it is, he will be dealt with how he should be dealt with. No one can intercede!"
"Here!"
The captain responded and walked away to interrogate him strictly.
"Wait!"
Princess Changle called the captain to stop, turned around and stared at Princess Jinyang with a frown, and asked, "Do you know who the thief is?"
Princess Jinyang looked confused: "How could I know?"
Princess Changle didn¡¯t believe it and didn¡¯t say anything, just stared at her.
The two sisters have a deep affection, have the same mind, and understand each other's character very well. Under the gaze of a pair of clear eyes, Princess Jinyang felt that she had nothing to hide, she blinked guiltily, her eyes wandered, and he hesitated: "Maybe Is it someone from the nearby manor villa? After all, this is not an ordinary farm. The surrounding residents are either rich or noble, and how can those who dare to sneak into the royal villa be ordinary people? Hence this speculation"
"snort!"
Princess Changle didn¡¯t believe it at all. She tapped her sister¡¯s smooth forehead with a spring-green finger and said angrily: ¡°Don¡¯t play tricks, otherwise I won¡¯t spare you!¡±
Then, he raised his voice and ordered the captain outside: "Let the thief go down for interrogation. Wait for the torture. Once you understand his identity and purpose, report him as soon as possible."
"Here."
The captain then walked out.
Princess Changle stared at Princess Jianyang and asked, "What's going on? I won't tell you now. If I find out it's related to you later, you'll be the one to watch!"
Princess Jinyang shook her head firmly: "How do I know? It must be a thief who comes from nowhere. He covets my sister's beauty and wants to sneak in in the dark and try to do something wrong."
Princess Changle was so angry that she simply ignored her. This little girl seemed to be weak and well-behaved, but in reality she was very hard-headed.
¡¡
In front of a row of houses outside, torches were lit and lanterns were hung. A group of palace servants and maids looked flustered and indignant, and they didn¡¯t know what was going on.Because of soaking in the spring, or because of shame and anger, everyone's face was crimson, their hairpins were messy, and they were spitting on each other.
More than 20 imperial guards packed the newly caught thief who wanted to sneak into the house to "peep" on the palace servants and maids to bathe, and put him into a room and interrogated him strictly.
It was probably a place where ordinary palace residents stayed. The furnishings were very simple. There was a candle burning on the table by the window. Wei Zhengju was tied up and pressed on a stool, and his heart was full of fear.
Sneaking into the royal villa in the middle of the night with the intention of doing something wrong is a serious crime!
Although it did not cause any serious consequences, not enough to decapitate him, and not enough to lead to exile, he could never escape with a whip.
¡°As long as he thought about the superb whipping skills of the execution guards in the palace, his two legs were fighting, and he was horrified
A guard wearing a helmet came to him and looked down at him. His face was half-bright and half-dark by the candlelight, which was extremely oppressive.
After a long while, the man slowly said: "Life, place of origin, identity, please tell me one by one."
Wei Zhengju swallowed, moved his lips, and finally gritted his teeth and said nothing.
¡°Anyway, I didn¡¯t make any big mistake. I just sneaked into unknown terrain at night and touched the wrong room. How can I behead myself? The most serious thing is to be thrown into Jingzhao Mansion Prison, and then find connections to rescue him afterwards. But if he reveals his life and identity, it will be regarded as conclusive evidence and will be stained for life.
It will be difficult to become an official in the future, let alone the dream of marrying Princess Jinyang home
So he gritted his teeth, made up his mind not to speak, and endured even a torture.
The school captain saw his firm expression, but he was not annoyed. He just said slowly: "You must be a man of high status, and you are afraid of being stained if your identity is revealed. But you also have to think about it, this is a royal villa. There are two princesses moving in, who dares to close this case without any explanation? Judging from the gentleman's attire, he must be a descendant of an aristocratic family. It only takes a little trouble to investigate carefully, and it is not difficult to find out your identity, so I resist this matter. , is really not very smart"
After a pause, the captain continued: "Besides, this place is certainly a royal palace, but after all, Lang Jun's trip did not cause serious consequences. If Lang Jun's family is prominent, after this matter is reported to the two princesses, perhaps But it is not certain that the net will be opened and we will just give up. But if we resist to the end, at least we will be exiled for three thousand miles, and our career will be cut off and our family will be humiliated. How to choose, has Mr. Lang ever figured it out?"
It is too easy for him to deal with such dandy boys.
There is no need to torture at all, just a few threats, and most of the time you will wet your pants. This group of children from aristocratic families are well-dressed and well-fed, relying on their family's powerful connections to run rampant. They have never seen the darkness of the world. How can they have such firm will?
After all, monsters like Fang Jun are rare and unique
Wei Zhengju was dumbfounded.
He originally made up his mind not to say anything, but after hearing what the captain said, he felt that it made sense. Even if he didn't say anything at the moment, wouldn't others be able to find out his identity? At that time, there will be no room for change, and he will be severely punished, and his whole life will be ruined.
He immediately regretted it and almost burst into tears. He shouted: "I was wronged! I came here this time because I was invited by Princess Jinyang. Otherwise, how dare you to intrude into this majestic royal garden? It's just that In the dark night, Lu Sheng accidentally walked into the wrong room and disturbed the palace servants who were taking a bath General, please call Princess Jinyang to let me know that I am here, and she will definitely come to clear my name."
The captain looked strange and asked: "Mr. Lang must know that if such lies are spread, His Highness Jinyang's reputation will not be guaranteed, but Lang Jun will also be severely punished by the royal family This is worse than accidentally entering the royal garden." , disturbing the palace maid is a more serious crime."
Wei Zhengju was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that he couldn't speak clearly even though his mouth was full of words.
¡°Could it be said that Princess Jinyang had a secret tryst with him, which happened to be noticed by the imperial guards? Even if he abandoned all his dignity as a man and blamed Princess Jinyang for everything, how could Princess Jinyang admit it?
When the time comes, when he casually says "There is no such thing", will the people in the world believe him, Wei Zhengju, or Princess Jinyang?
" What's particularly important is that Wei Zhengju doesn't think that today was set up by Princess Jinyang. He feels that he seems to have fallen into a trap, a trap for Jingzhao Wei, and he is just being used as a bait
