Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 092 Overthrow

Raising soldiers privately and plotting rebellion, not to mention the royal family, even in the hearts of ordinary people, he is an unforgivable traitor. Moreover, Li Dong usually covers the sky with one hand, and the people have long hated him. Seeing him in trouble now, they naturally relieved their hatred and cursed that the wicked will be punished by God.

On the contrary, the Guan and Zhao armies who led the officers and soldiers to catch the rebels were unanimously praised, especially the two juniors Zhao Yi and Jiang Xinzhi, whose reputations rose quickly from the flood, almost to the point where everyone praised them.

The rebels have been settled, the flood has been settled, and the capital has returned to its former tranquillity, showing a bit of stability after surviving the disaster.

However, in stark contrast to the joy of the people in Capital, the dungeon was gloomy and damp, and the jailer guarding the door turned around in front of the prison with a knife, turning a deaf ear to the groans of the prisoners in the prison.

All prisoners here are sentenced to death, and they are prisoners who have committed serious crimes. Once they enter this place, they can be said to have no chance of turning over.

In the innermost room of the dungeon, three prisoners in prison uniforms sat on the hay. Although these three people were in a mess, they looked like nobles who had been pampered and had an air of dominance in their every move. They were Li Dong and his son.

Li Dong was pot-bellied, and his snow-white prison uniform was so dirty that the original colour could no longer be seen. He looked extremely anxious and shouted at Li An: "This is all your fault, think of a solution!"

Li An did not move, closed his eyes, and seemed not to hear what he said at all.

Li Dong was furious, but helpless. He had said everything he could say in court, but unfortunately the emperor was determined to deal with him this time. If it were usual, it would just be a matter of paying some money, but this time no one in the upper echelons dared to take his money. 

In fact, the prime minister's house had been confiscated, and Mei Ji (concubines), who had heard the news, had taken the rest of the treasures in the house and fled far away. Now there was really nothing left.

He leaned back and couldn't help but feel angry and panic. He had always been able to get whatever he wanted in his life, and there was nothing he couldn't do. Now he was in prison and was going to be beheaded. 

Li Dong was afraid of death, and at this moment he was even more unwilling to give up, trying his best to fight for a way out. His only support was Li An, who was extremely smart and would definitely be able to come up with a good way to escape. But this time, Li An disappointed him.

Li Yang looked at Li An beside him and sneered. He knew that Li An was smart and had a deep mind, and he was afraid of his intelligence. But Li An was also a eunuch, and he was full of contempt for Li An in his heart. Now that he was about to die, he finally showed his disgust for Li An without any care: "A monster who is not good enough but always makes trouble!"

Li An turned a deaf ear to him, but the faint smile of the young girl appeared in his mind. Her words were still in his ears, and every word was a curse that led people into the abyss.

In prison, his thoughts gradually became clear. Li An sorted out the things carefully, and finally saw the clues from these things. As early as the first time Li Yang went to Jiang's house and met Jiang Susu who was castrated, he fell into Jiang Ruan's trap.

Li Yang's matter was just a lead. What she wanted to deal with was clearly the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. However, Li Dong and Li Yang, including himself, unknowingly walked into the ending designed by Jiang Ruan for them. Jiang Ruan had calculated everything.
