第179章 绝境(一更)
咣当!

牢门重重甩上,震得叶恒打了个激灵。

他僵硬抬头,环顾四周,看着这阴暗潮湿的牢房,嗅着空气中发霉甜腥的令人作呕的气息,终于意识到发生了什么。

——他堂堂四品朝廷命官,居然就这样被关了起来!?

直到此刻,他还觉得像是做梦一样。

他明明是去韩家,让韩尧老实点儿不要乱说话的,结果……怎么会变成这样!?

叶恒靠在冰凉的墙壁,缓缓蹲了下来,脑子里一团乱麻。

这次是苏圩亲自下令把他关进来的,想出去绝对没那么简单。

最起码,在事情调查清楚之前,他都不可能离开这里了。

可……他根本没有对韩尧下毒啊!

难道是叶初棠故意诬陷?但她也是被临时请来的,而且当时韩尧已经昏过去了,时间上说不通。

叶恒眉头紧锁,他最开始明明只是让人搞点儿迷药,让韩尧昏睡几天,不要惹事就好,怎么会变成了毒药——

不对!

叶恒忽然明白了什么,骇然睁大了眼睛!
能这样神不知鬼不觉将迷药换成毒药的,也就只有——

那个名字徘徊在脑海,令叶恒浑身发麻,四肢冰凉。

一股难以形容的绝望渐渐涌上心头。

难道,他也和韩桐一样……

……

慕容晔回到府中的时候,天色已经擦黑。

远远的,他就看到一道熟悉的身影,不由一愣。

叶诗娴也注意到了他的到来,急急上前。

“慕容公子!”

慕容晔看她双眼泛红,似乎已经哭过,顿时心疼起来:“娴儿,你怎么来了?在这等很久了吗?”

叶诗娴等了他许久,此时早已身乏体累,听得他这么一问,眼泪瞬间落下。

瞧着当真是我见犹怜。

慕容晔连忙上前宽慰:“你先别哭,有什么麻烦只管和我说!”

很显然,他还不知道叶恒出事儿。

叶诗娴匆匆抬手擦去了眼泪,抬起一双莹莹泪眼,声音里满是委屈和乞求:“慕容公子,求您一定要救救我爹!”

慕容晔何曾看到过她这般可怜模样,心里已经察觉不对。

“到底怎么了?我今日一天都在外面,不知——”

叶诗娴红唇轻咬,哽咽道:“是、是大理寺的苏大人,他把爹爹带走了!”

慕容晔听得云里雾里:“什么?”

叶诗娴只得将事情重新讲了一遍,慕容晔的眉头越皱越紧。

“我爹他绝对不可能做那些事情的,这里面一定是有什么误会!慕容公子,我现在实在是没办法了,要是我爹真的出什么事儿,我真不知道要怎么办才好了……”

叶诗娴说着,又开始低头垂泪。

慕容晔猜到了她的来意,却颇感棘手。

“这件事,只怕有些难办啊……”

无缘无故,苏圩不会直接把人扣了,此时若贸然行动,肯定不妥。

尤其明天就是宫宴……

看慕容晔迟迟没有表态,叶诗娴的心也渐渐沉了下去。

慕容晔从前对她何其殷勤,现在真摊上事儿了,他倒是犹豫起来了!
叶诗娴苦笑一声:“我知道这件事让慕容公子为难,那……还是算了罢!今日我来,实在冒昧,还望慕容公子见谅。”

她说着,便要行礼告辞。

慕容晔心里终究还是不舍看她如此,连忙道:“等等!”

侯爷的掌心娇是朵黑心莲
Author:

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
