Chapter 57: You Can't Live If You Don't Die
Heavenly Prison.
The old prisoner squeezed half of his head into the iron fence and said to Wang Pu: "Boy, you are so good. You actually refuse the princess's marriage for a firework woman?"
Wang Pu said angrily: "You know what a big deal!"
The old prisoner pointed at the torture room with his hands in shackles and said, "I have heard what you and that boy Chen Xinjia said just now. Hey, I didn't expect Chen Xinjia to become the Minister of War. What about Yang Sichang's little bastard? Did you let Master Long cut off his head?"
Wang Pu lay on the haystack and ignored it.
"Boy, talk to me quickly." The old prisoner looked at Wang Pu pitifully and begged, "What's going on? Why do you want to refuse the princess's marriage? Tell me, tell me quickly."
Wang Pu said: "Then tell me what your name is and what you are doing first? Why did you go to the Heavenly Prison?"
The old prisoner shrank his head back and shouted, "I didn't tell you, I forgot everything."
"Okay, if you don't say it, that little guy won't say it, you'll be suffocated to death."
After saying this, Wang Pu fell asleep sideways and ignored the old prisoner.
■■■
Outside the city, Wang Pu was in charge of the tent.
Because he was worried about Wang Pu's safety, Chen Yuanyuan was so anxious that she was restless when a servant came in and reported, "Madam, there is a girl named Wang Yue outside the camp asking for a visit, claiming to be the handkerchief sister of the wife when she was in Suzhou."
"Wang Yue? Sister Yue?" Chen Yuanyuan was overjoyed and said, "Welcome, please come quickly."
The servant took the order and soon led a slim girl with bright eyes and white teeth into the tent. Chen Yuanyuan saw the girl as if she had seen a relative, and opened her arms and threw herself into the girl's arms, crying out loud: "Sister Yueyue..."
"Good sister."
Wang Yue hugged Chen Yuanyuan hard, and two lines of clear tears flowed down her beautiful eyes.
After a while, the two stopped their sad voices. Wang Yue gently wiped away the tears on Chen Yuanyuan's cheek with a handkerchief and said softly: "Girl, I have heard about you and General Wang's affairs. Sister, don't worry, sister. As the saying goes, auspicious people will have their own appearance. General Wang has feelings, righteousness and responsibility. God will bless him."
"Um."
Chen Yuanyuan nodded vigorously with a crying voice.
"Girl, if I hadn't been scheduling a new show in the class today, I wouldn't have known about you and General Wang."
"New drama?" Chen Yuanyuan said blankly, "What drama?"
"You don't know, sister?" Wang Yue said in surprise, "Someone has written the story of you and General Wang into a playbook, saying how you met in Wujiang, how you were kidnapped by the water bandits, how can you fight to the death to save General Wang? Now several opera troupes are scheduled for your new plays. Girl, you are really lucky to find a wishful husband like General Wang."
"But now my husband has been sent to the heavenly prison." Chen Yuanyuan said and shed tears again, and whimpered, "If my husband has a long and short time, my younger sister will not want to live anymore."
"Silly sister, don't say anything discouraged." Wang Yue gently hugged Chen Yuanyuan in her arms and comforted her, "It will be fine."
"Husband, madam." When the two sisters were relatively sad, the voice of the servant Amu suddenly sounded outside the tent, "Soldiers, Minister of War Chen, Chen Da, I want to see you."
Chen Yuanyuan gently wiped away the tears from her cheeks and replied: "Amu, go and tell Lord Chen that my husband is not in the camp, and it is not convenient for the little woman to see him."
Amu said: "Yes, but he insisted on seeing you, Madam. He also said that it is related to the general's nature and life."
"It's related to my husband's life?" Chen Yuanyuan jumped and replied, "Amu, please invite Lord Chen."
"yes."
Amu took the order and left.
Wang Yue stood up and said, "Sister, sister, should I avoid it?"
Chen Yuanyuan brought Wang Yue into the tent and said, "Sister, you can sit here first."
Soon, Amu took Chen Xinjia into the account. Chen Yuanyuan said a little blessing to Chen Xinjia and said, "The little woman has met Lord Chen."
"Forget it."
Chen Xinjia waved his hand, but when his eyes fell on Chen Yuanyuan's face, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Chen Yuanyuan's eyebrows were swept lightly, and there were faint tears on his cheeks. I really felt pity. Chen Xinjia couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that this woman is indeed a peerless beauty. No wonder Wang Pu was confused for her and would rather anger Long Live than give up!
Chen Yuanyuansu said in his hand: "Sir, please sit down."
"There is no need to sit." Chen Xinjia said calmly, "I will leave after saying a few words."
Chen Yuanyuan said: "Sir, please tell me."
Chen Xinjia said: "I won't say much about anything else. I believe you already know General Wang's situation. Now there is only one way to save his life, that is, marry Princess Changping as his wife! As long as Wang Pu becomes the princess, he is a royal relative, and he will no longer have any worries about his life."
Chen Yuanyuan whispered: "The little woman has advised her and asked her husband, but he refused."
"Do you know why Wang Pu didn't agree?" Chen Xinjia was cruel and said coldly, "Just because of you, as long as you still live in this world, he will never divorce his wife and marry again!"
Chen Yuanyuan looked up at Chen Xinjia in surprise as if she was eaten by thunder.
Chen Xinjia turned his head and did not dare to look at Chen Yuanyuan's gaze, and said, "If you really think about Wang Pu, you shouldn't have watched him walk into a dead end. I said this to you. You should consider what you should do and say goodbye."
Chen Yuanyuan's expression was muddy, and she didn't even know when Chen Xinjia left.
"Good girl." Wang Yue walked out of the back tent, gently hugged Chen Yuanyuan's shoulder, and advised softly, "Don't listen to Chen Xinjia's nonsense. You and General Wang are in love with each other. The couple is in love. Don't do anything stupid. What will happen if General Wang regrets for the rest of his life?"
"Sister." Chen Yuanyuan slowly raised her head and said sadly, "Is there any other way to save her husband now? Lord Chen is right. As long as I die, my husband will not have to divorce his wife and marry again. There will be no obstacles between his husband and His Highness the Princess. As long as his husband becomes the prince-consort, he will have nothing to do..."
Wang Yue was speechless.
"As long as my husband can be safe and live well, I am willing to do anything for him." Chen Yuanyuan's tone gradually became firmer, and she looked at Wang Yue and said, "Sister, you have been in the capital for a long time and have known more people than younger sisters. Can you help me think of a way to let me go to Tianzhu to meet my husband for the last time?"
"Silly sister." Wang Yue shook her head vigorously, holding back the tears and said, "I can't help you with this."
"Sister." Chen Yuanyuan knelt down to Wang Yue and said sadly, "My husband has been taken down from the heavenly prison. My younger sister is helpless in the capital. You are the only relative of the girl. If you don't even want to help her, then my younger sister really doesn't know what to do?"
"Good sister." Wang Yue whimpered, "But if my sister agrees to you, wouldn't she push you to the dead end?"
"Forget it." Seeing Wang Yue insisting on refusing, Chen Yuanyuan said sadly, "As long as my husband can live well, the girl will be very happy. It doesn't matter if she doesn't meet her husband for the last time."
"younger sister……"
"Sister, can you help the girl bring a word to your husband?"
"Sister, don't do this. If you really listen to Chen Xinjia's advice, General Wang will regret it for life."
"Sister, don't you even want to send a message?"
Looking at Chen Yuanyuan's sad and heartbroken look, Wang Yue was so painful that her heart was almost broken, and she said sadly: "Okay, sister, I'll go back and ask someone to find a way to let you go to the Heavenly Prison to see General Wang."
"Sister." Chen Yuanyuan turned sad to joy, "Good sister."
