"Grandma, please save Xuan Ye." Liu Yuanchun couldn't help but shed tears.
She did not expect that she would only be willing to face her feelings for him calmly at a critical moment.
After two days and two nights without any news of him, Liu Yuanchun realized a fact--perhaps the two of them would never have the chance to meet again in the future.
Old Madam Jia pulled up Liu Yuanchun who was kneeling on the ground and said worriedly,""Now that things have come to this, it won't be easy to save him. Do you understand?”
"Yuan Chun understands."
"Whether it's corruption or treason, it's a capital offense. Especially treason, the crime can be punished with the death penalty. Not only him, but you will also be sentenced to death.”Old Lady Jia's worry was evident in her words.
Liu Yuanchun nodded.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't afraid. However, other than being afraid, she needed to muster the courage to save herself. She had to do this.
"Tell Grandma, did your husband really report the military and communicate with the enemy?”
"Grandma, I don't know. I really don't know.”Liu Yuanchun said hesitantly.
Ever since she, Liu Yuanchun, had lived for so long, other than that plane crash, this was the moment she was most afraid of. She was not afraid that her husband would be imprisoned, but that he would really commit a crime. If he was fine, then he might be able to think of a way to save them. She was afraid that he was guilty and that even she did not know how to face him.
"Have you gone to see him?" Old Madam Jia asked.
Liu Yuanchun shook his head. "The Ministry of Justice said that it is forbidden to see him before the case is decided.”
Mrs. Jia sighed. After a while, she said,""Don't be afraid. I'll think of a way for you and your wife to meet so that you can talk things out.”
"Thank you, Grandma." Liu Yuanchun's emotions were stirred up for a moment, and tears fell once again. Ever since she was born, she had shed the most tears today. It was as if she could not finish crying.
"Don't be sad, there might be a turn for the better. The emperor is very wise, as long as Lord Yao is innocent, there will definitely be a satisfactory explanation and he won't be wronged.”Old Madam Jia comforted Liu Yuanchun and wiped away her tears, feeling extremely reluctant to part.
Ever since he had taken this girl in as his granddaughter, he realized that she was not only sweet with her words, but also kind-hearted. She hoped that the heavens would open their eyes and save her life.
Liu Yuanchun nodded his head, but the haze in his heart sank even more.
Was he innocent?
Her heart tightened.
Due to the special relationship of the Jia Residence, the Empress Dowager specially issued an imperial decree, allowing Liu Yuanchun to visit Yao Xuanye in the Ministry of Justice's prison.
Before leaving, Yao Fu specially carried a bamboo basket to Liu Yuanchun.
"Furen, these are some of the food that my wife made. They are all Daren's favorite food. Please bring them to the prison for Daren to eat!”At the end of his sentence, his eyes turned red and he handed the basket over to Green Sleeve.
"Thank you!" Liu Yuanchun said with a heavy heart.
She had been in the sect for several months and had never seen Yao Fu so sad. Her mood changed and she blurted out,"How long have you been with Milord?"
"Ten years," Yao Fu replied immediately.”
"What kind of person was he at that time?”Liu Yuanchun realized that he knew nothing about the person beside him, and he didn't even know where his ancestral home was.
Yao Fu tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying," At that time, you had just become the top scorer. The Emperor personally appointed you as a first-grade official and made you the governor of Huguang. Three years later, you were recommended by the Grand Scholar of Hongwen Pavilion, Lord Lu, and was transferred back to the capital by the Emperor. Only then did you become the Minister of Rites.”
"What is it? Was it Lu Wenguang that guy who recommended him to return to the capital?”Liu Yuanchun said in disbelief. "That day when he led the royal guards to raid our house, I thought that old fellow had a grudge against us!”
"Daren was originally very close to Daren Lu, and the two mansions often came and went. For some reason, they gradually had less contact.”
Liu Yuanchun frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, but still couldn't figure out the reason.
"Does Furen trust Daren?" Yao Fu suddenly asked.
"What does it matter if I believe it or not?"
Yao Fu shook his head. "Does Furen not know how important you are in Daren's heart?”
This…Recalling the sweet memories of the past, a faint pain flashed past Liu Yuanchun's heart.
"Do you believe him?" she asked.
"I believe that you would never betray the country," Yao Fu replied with certainty.”
"Do you have evidence?"
"One time when Lord Lu came to the residence, I heard with my own ears that Lord Lu rejected a proposal of Lord Lu.”
"What suggestion?"
"A proposal to buy an official position."
Liu Yuanchun was startled. He immediately recalled the corruption of the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty. Powerful officials could interfere with the results of the examination.
"Did he really refuse?" Liu Yuanchun asked with a faint trace of joy in his heart.
"Of course." Yao Fu replied proudly.
"Thank you for telling me this." With that, Liu Yuanchun walked out of the hall with Lu Xiu.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Ensheng was already standing outside.
"I'll send you there." he said briefly.
Since Yao Xuanye had been imprisoned, most of the servants in the residence had been sent back to their hometown, so the three of them walked to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
This was the darkest place in Jin Ling City, where many people died unjustly. It was a place where the powerful officials played dirty tricks.
Liu Yuanchun followed the jailer alone, passing through layers of doors and finally arriving outside Yao Xuanye's cell.
"Please make it convenient for me to go in and see him.”Liu Yuanchun smiled ingratiatingly.
The jailer had never seen such a heavenly beauty before. He was dazed for a moment and took the key to open the cell door.
"Thank you!" Liu Yuanchun turned around with a smile and swiftly stepped into the prison.
Yao Xuanye was sitting on the ground, wearing a white prison uniform. His eyes were closed as he leaned against the wall.
Liu Yuanchun went straight to him and didn't speak for a long time.
The familiar fragrance of flowers wafted into his nose, prompting Yao Xuanye to open his eyes.
Their eyes met for a while before Yao Xuanye suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
" You…" Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuanchun had already taught him to seal his lips. In an extremely passionate manner, it was different from his previous gentleness. He was completely reckless and wild.
Liu Yuanchun's memories returned to that time in the study…
At that time, he did not want her because he wanted her to fall in love with him first. At this moment, his kiss was like a fire, more intense and more exclusive than the last time. His kiss made her heart burn.
She loved him! At this moment, she finally understood how her lover felt. It was not a complete pleasure.
Once you love someone, your entire heart will be happy and sad with him, and your self will be reduced to ashes in an instant.
After a long time, he finally let go of her, the fire in his dark eyes still burning.
"Why are you here?" His tone was the same as before, but his usual tone stirred up his emotions.
"Yao Fu asked me to bring some snacks." Liu Yuanchun opened the basket to avoid his overly passionate gaze, which almost made her breathless.
Yao Xuanye didn't even look at the basket as he hooked his arm around her face. "What about you?" He stared at her without blinking.
Liu Yuanchun felt pain from breathing as he looked at his handsome face.
"Answer me." His deep black eyes revealed his desire.
Liu Yuanchun's heart was trembling lightly. For her, admitting that she loved him was a difficult choice. It seemed to mean that she could never turn back and was getting farther and farther away from the place where she grew up in her memory.
"Because I want to see you."”"Because I can't leave you anymore."”Broken beads of tears rolled down her cheeks.
The next moment, she threw herself into his arms and buried her face in his firm and broad chest. She knew that she would never be able to return home. She knew it deeply.
Yao Xuanye closed his eyes and hugged her gently, his rough hands caressing the hair on her cheeks.
"Do you trust me?" he asked.
Liu Yuanchun didn't raise his head and responded softly.
Yao Xuanye suddenly opened his eyes and put some distance between them. "Don't you have any doubts?"
"I believe you because you are my husband.”Liu Yuanchun expressed without hesitation, his small face full of trust. Since they were husband and wife, she should start to believe him from now on.
Yao Xuanye's gaze changed, and his dark eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of light. Then, he pulled her up and said,""From this moment on, I divorce you. We are no longer husband and wife.”The brilliance in his eyes faded.
Liu Yuanchun was startled and didn't speak for a long while.
She was not a fool! "You can't chase me away." She spoke softly, her heart aching.
How could she not know his heart? He divorced her because he was afraid that she would be implicated if the verdict was unfavorable.
Yao Xuanye stared at her stubborn face.
The tears on this little thing's face hadn't dried yet! His mind immediately floated to the moment when they first met, her face was full of greed.
"You'd better leave Jinling while you can and never come back.”As he spoke, he turned around to prevent himself from revealing too much emotion.
"I don't want to! What kind of person do you think I am?" Liu Yuanchun suddenly hugged him from behind and pressed his face against his back.
How could he see her as a woman who could only enjoy happiness with him and not worry with him? He really deserved to die!
"Husband and wife are birds in the same forest.”
"If I was in prison today, would you leave me in the lurch?”Tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Yes." Yao Xuanye replied firmly.
" You're lying, lying, lying…" Liu Yuanchun's tears rolled down. "How can you use such a lie to chase me away? " How could I…" She cried out in a low voice. Her hands gradually loosened, and she knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying.
After a long time, a pair of warm hands pulled her hands away from her face.
"I beg you, I beg you to live well. Don't lose your life for me.”
In this defenseless moment, she saw the affection hidden in his eyes.
She took a deep breath and stood up.
"Who said you would die? As long as she's innocent, there's a chance."
"The world is not necessarily black and white, do you understand?”Yao Xuanye stared at her, his brows furrowed.
Liu Yuanchun nodded lightly.
"You can go! Don't forget what I said, it's best to let Ensheng send you out of the city tonight.”
"No, I won't leave!" Liu Yuanchun pulled his hand. "Believe me, we will definitely be able to reunite.”She gave him a brave smile and left.
Heavens! She had to break out of this predicament. She had to do it.
Yao Xuanye looked at her disappearing figure and sighed softly in his heart…
Liu Yuanchun sat in the luxuriously decorated hall, feeling rather perturbed.
This time, the person in charge of the trial was the champion of the imperial examinations, Hui Yuan. It was said that the Emperor intended to let Hui Yuan replace Yao Xuanye as the new Minister of Rites.
This rumor came from the Jia family, and it was undoubtedly very bad news. It almost confirmed that Yao Xuanye was guilty.
Liu Yuanchun felt indignant because of this and simply came to Huiyuan Mansion to first weigh this person's weight and see if he was a bear or a tiger.
Not long after, the maidservant brought over a cup of fragrant tea. Before Liu Yuanchun even entered his mouth, he already felt that the fragrance was very fragrant. After she took a light sip, she immediately understood that this was high-grade tea.
During this period of time, her mouth had long been spoiled by the chefs of the Jia and Yao residences. What was good or bad, she could tell as soon as she ate it.
It seemed that this new subject was not a small one.
After a long time, he still did not appear.
Just as Liu Yuanchun was feeling impatient, a man in a blue official robe slowly walked into the hall.
Liu Yuanchun turned around to take a look and almost spat out the mouthful of tea in his mouth.
"Bo Xinren!" She blurted out and jumped up from the chair.
Ever since the day of the incident at the Minister's Residence, he and Ji Xiaoyun had mysteriously disappeared without a word. Who would have thought that after meeting him today, he would suddenly become the champion of the general exams…the future master of the Minister's Estate!
"Long time no see, Miss Liu." Bo Xinren spoke slowly, his eyes scanning Liu Yuanchun.
Even though she had gone through a great change, her beauty had not diminished at all, making one's heart ache.
"You, you…"
"Are you surprised by my change, or do you think that I will always be under others?”His eyes and mouth were smiling, but his heart was not.
"No!" Liu Yuanchun shook his head," I was very worried when you left without saying goodbye these few days. Now that I see that you're doing well, I should be sincerely happy for you.”
"Are you really worried about me?" A strange light flashed in his eyes.
" Of course, other than you, I'll also bear the burden for Little Yun…" Before the word 'heart' left his mouth, Liu Yuanchun's mind flashed with the scene of him bumping into her in the study.
Bo Xinren immediately saw through her thoughts and smiled. "Don't worry about that kind of woman. It's not worth it.”
He knew? How could that be? Besides Lu Xiu, only Xuan Ye and her knew about it.
She didn't believe that Xuan Ye would mention this to Bo Xinren. How did he know?
Unless it was Xiao Yun…
Liu Yuanchun stared at Bo Xinren, his thoughts whirling as he reevaluated the man in front of him.
"Where is Xiao Yun now?" she asked.
"I don't know." Bo Xinren replied indifferently.
Liu Yuanchun was silent for a long while before suddenly saying,""I heard that you will be presiding over Xuan Ye's case in three days. Is that true?”
Bo Xinren smiled faintly, a gloomy expression flashing across his face. "It is indeed true." He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"He is innocent." Liu Yuanchun hurriedly expressed.
Bo Xinren laughed. "Miss Liu, if everyone claimed to be innocent, why would there be so many criminals in the Ministry of Justice? You can't trust one-sided words." There was a touch of coldness in his smile.
"No, I believe he won't betray the country.”
"The letter to the enemy camp was written in black and white, and it was even stamped. Could it be fake?”His face darkened.
"I don't believe he would do that."
"Good and evil can only be determined in a single thought. One person will never know the true thoughts of another.”Bo Xinren said coldly.
"For the sake of the past, I beg you to let him off.”
"Begging me to let him go? Isn't this asking me to bend the law for personal gain?”Bo Xinren approached her beautiful face.
Liu Yuanchun immediately took a step to the side, dodging his sudden approach.
Bo Xinren was even angrier at her actions. With a wave of his sleeve, he turned his back to her. "You can leave now."
Liu Yuanchun was startled and walked out of the hall.
"There is a way to save my life." he suddenly said from behind her.
Liu Yuanchun stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at him.
"Leave him and marry me. This way, I can keep you alive and not be dragged down by this case.”Bo Xinren stared at her, her eyes filled with a different color from before.
Ever since he met Liu Yuanchun for the first time, he had deeply admired her. Everything he had done up until now was all for the sake of obtaining her.
Liu Yuanchun laughed when he heard that. "Many thanks for Your Excellency's favor. It's just that Yuan Chun isn't that kind of person who is afraid of death.”Then, she left without looking back.
Damn it!
Bo Xinren's expression changed as he swept the teacup on the coffee table. In an instant, the fragments were scattered all over the ground, which was very similar to his current state of mind. He would never let Yao Xuanye off!
Liu Yuanchun walked out of Huiyuan Mansion and was welcomed by Lvxiu and Ensheng.
"Madam, what kind of person is Huiyuan? Will they sentence our lord lightly?" Greensleeves asked hurriedly.
Liu Yuanchun shook his head. "You know what? You would never have thought that this person was someone you and I know.”
"Who is it?"
"Bo Xinren!"
Hearing her words, Green Sleeve's mouth was wide open, unable to speak for a long time.
Liu Yuanchun looked at Xiang Ensheng. "Aren't you surprised?"
En Sheng revealed an extremely faint and unpredictable smile and did not answer.
"He will definitely be willing to save Milord?" Greensleeve asked again.
Liu Yuanchun shook his head.
"Humph! What an ungrateful person. He didn't even think about who promoted him back then.”Greensleeve was indignant.
"I don't think Xuan Ye was the one who promoted him.”
"Who is it?"
"Lord Lu!" This was only Liu Yuanchun's conjecture.
En Sheng's face was filled with praise.
"You agree?" Liu Yuanchun noticed the expression on Ensheng's face.
"There must be evidence." En Sheng said lightly.
Evidence? Where could he find one?
Just as the three of them were moving forward, Liu Yuanchun suddenly saw a familiar figure at the cloth stall.
"Eh? Isn't that…"She was about to call out the woman's name, but En Sheng covered her mouth.
He shook his head at her, indicating that he could not make a sound.
Liu Yuanchun nodded, indicating that he understood.
The woman quickly left after buying a few pieces of cloth and disappeared into the corner of the street.
"She's gone."
"I'll go after him." At that moment, En Sheng also disappeared from the corner of the street.
"Madam, let's go back first!"
"Yes." Liu Yuanchun nodded, and the master and servant left together.
Hopefully, everything would turn around! She secretly prayed to the heavens in her heart…#Transcendence Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201811:03AM
