"Princess, the prince is here."

Shi covered her mouth and coughed several times: "I know."

Going into the house with the prince, he saw Shi's face was pale. He was about to turn around and leave. He stopped and asked, "Have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look?" When sending his father to be buried, Shi suddenly felt unwell, so he had to send They sent her back.

It was getting late now. After hesitating for a while, he decided to come over and take a look. Although he didn't agree with many of Shi's current practices, after all, the two of them had been sleeping together for many years, and he couldn't treat her like nothing.

"I am no longer in any serious condition, so the prince is worried." Shi Shi glanced at the cloak he was wearing. She had never seen him wearing this cloak before.

"It'll be fine if it's okay." The room became quiet, and the prince and Shi had already reached the point where they had nothing to say. Prince He knew that the person Shi wanted to marry was not him, but the prince, the future emperor. He was now the last prince, a prince who was surviving under the management of the new dynasty. He was not the man she wanted.

Seeing the prince's cold attitude, Mrs. Shi suddenly felt a little aggrieved. After she married him, who didn't praise her for being dignified and virtuous, but now he has separated from her. What is she trying to do with all her scheming?

A couple's friendship lasts a hundred days. They have been married for so many years. Is this friendship gone?

However, Shi's character has always been stable. Even though she has a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, she will not say these words in front of her servants.

"Princess," a servant ran in with a frightened expression, not even noticing the prince standing in the corner of the room.

"Princess, you didn't buy the things you asked the children to buy."

"What did you say?!" Mr. Shi stood up and walked up to the servant, "Didn't you say it was foolproof?"

"The store owner is too smart, and my subordinates didn't expect it. What should we do now?" The servants knelt on the ground, their expressions even uglier than Shi's. If this matter was revealed, they would definitely die.

Shi stood up straight in confusion. After a while, she thought of Prince He standing in the corner and opened her mouth to say something, but this matter was really involved and she did not dare to speak.

He and the prince could see from her face that something must have happened that he didn't know about and it was very serious. Thinking that Shi might have done something daring behind his back, he and the prince took a deep breath, "What happened?"

My lord, I..." Shi's shoulders trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyelids, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the prince.

"Your Majesty has ordered that Prince Xuanhe enter the palace."

Hearing this news, Shi was so frightened that he collapsed and sat down on the ground.

"Tell me, what exactly did you do?!" The prince grabbed her shoulders and stared at Shi with sharp eyes, trying to get an answer from her.

Shi shook his head in fear, broke down and cried.

"Prince He," Wang De stepped into the room, ignoring Mr. Shi who was sitting on the ground and crying bitterly, and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty has an order. Prince Xuan will come to the palace immediately to pay his respects."

He Prince let go of Shi, stood up and straightened his robe: "I accept the order."

In the Dayue Palace, Banhua asked the palace maid to comb her hair into a new bun, making sure that all the broken hair was hidden inside, and her mood turned from gloomy to sunny.

"Your Majesty, you look so beautiful with this flying fairy bun," Ruyi held up a mirror to show Banhua the finished bun, "just like the fairy **** the mural."

"Your mouth is still so sweet." Banhua stood up, looked at the sky outside that was reddened by the setting sun, and walked out of the inner hall to take a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

As soon as she walked out of the palace door, she saw Wang De leading the prince and the prince in the direction of the imperial study. She frowned, turned to the palace servants behind her and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go take a look."

"Your Majesty," Ruyi said, "Aren't you going to visit the Imperial Garden?"

Banhua took a look and smiled: "I will live in this palace for decades, when can I not go to see it? What's more, it is getting late now, and there is nothing to see in the Imperial Garden. ”

If you can't stop me, you can only bow and retreat.

Prince He followed Wang De into the inner hall and saw Rong Xia sitting in front of the imperial cabinet. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

In the past, Rong Xia would have already spoken and excused him, but today Rong Xia didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, as if she was sizing him up, or weighing something.

After the room was quiet for a long time, Rong Xia finally said: "Give me a seat."

The layout of the imperial study has not changed much, but every object in it has been newly replaced. For Prince He, this place is both familiar and unfamiliar. He cupped his hands towards Rong Xia and said, "I wonder why your Majesty summoned the ministers?"

Rong Xia put down the book in his hand with a hint of gratitude on his face: "Your Majesty understands the great righteousness and is willing to give me the Zen throne. I am very grateful in my heart. Since I came to the throne, I have not dared to be indifferent to Your Majesty. If so, If there are any shortcomings, please point them out."

Prince He felt something was wrong with what Rong Xia said. He stood up and saluted Rong Xia: "Your Majesty is very kind to Wei Chen, and Wei Chen has no dissatisfaction at all."

"Since the prince is not dissatisfied with me, then why did you send someone to assassinate my queen and use the queen as bait to lure me into taking the bait?!" Rong Xia smashed the tea cup on the table to the ground. This was his It was the first time that he showed no scruples and lost his temper in front of outsiders, "Even if I take away your throne and you are extremely dissatisfied with me, you can come to me, but you should never go to Huahua." Take action!"

He and the prince looked at Rong Xia in shock, what is going on, Huahua was assassinated?

"Hua, the queen was assassinated?!" He and the prince sounded a little anxious, "How is the queen now?"

Rong Xia glanced at him and sneered: "Your Majesty, at this time, I actually remember the brother-sister relationship between Huahua and you. This world has already been kept in my pocket. If it weren't for Huahua's face, Why should I spare your lives and grant you a title? And what do you people think of Huahua?"

Since he came to the throne, many former officials of the previous dynasty were not reused, but they did not take their lives. But Rong Xia didn't expect that his momentary kindness would actually make these people greedy, causing them to collude with the prince again, intending to murder him and regain the throne.

"Your Majesty, I have no such intention," Prince He stood up, "The great cause has long been in decline, and I know this, so how can I have the intention to seize the throne. Please tell me, your majesty, what is going on with Huahua ”

This time he did not call Banhua queen, but his childhood nickname, Huahua.

In desperation, I no longer care about etiquette. Prince He didn't understand. It was obviously fine before, but how could such a big thing happen after just a few hours?

"It's okay, Queen," Rong Xia said without missing a trace of emotion on the prince's face, "The prince said that this matter has nothing to do with you, but many of the assassins captured are your old subordinates, and these people are loyal to you. , until now they insist that they are the people of King Li. If the prince is not busy, please come with me to the Tianlao."

"Wei Chen is willing to go."

The door of the royal study room opened, Rong Xia's expression changed slightly: "Huahua?"

He and the prince were immediately relieved when they saw that Banhua's face was rosy and he didn't look like he was injured. He bowed to Banhua and said, "We have met the Queen."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite," Banhua smiled at him.

Seeing her smiling as usual, Rong Xia thought she didn't hear what was said in the study. Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Banhua spoke.

"I also want to go to Tianlao, please take me with you."

Rong Xia:......

He turned his head and glanced at Du Jiu who was standing at the door. Du Jiu shrank his head back. The Queen wouldn't let him make a sound, so how could he dare to make a sound? Your Majesty, you have to work hard to please the Queen. What else can these miserable guards do?

"I can't go?" Banhua raised an eyebrow and looked at Rong Xia.

"Okay, let's go together."

Seeing the way the two got along with each other, Prince He relaxed his tense jaw a little.

The Tianlao is jointly supervised by people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and all very important prisoners are detained there. The place is heavily guarded, and no prisoner's relatives or friends are allowed to visit unless His Majesty's order is given.

Ban Hua found that the guards here all had serious expressions and a somewhat sinister look on their faces, with the four characters "No one allowed to enter" written all over their faces.

Even if the emperor and empress arrived, they would only bow politely instead of rushing forward to please them. After Banhua walked inside, she looked back at the guards who stood upright, with broad shoulders and long legs.

Rong Xia noticed her little movement and squeezed her palm to stop her eyes from wandering.

Are these men as good-looking as him?

Ban Hua blinked at him innocently, as if you were pinching me for what?

Rong Xia was so itchy by this look that she squeezed her hand a few more times before she managed to suppress the emotions in her heart.

When walking down the steps, Rong Xia glanced at the gorgeous skirt behind Banhua, bent down and lifted up her skirt, and then put the skirt down after finishing the steps. He did it extremely naturally, but the guards in the prison and Prince He were dumbfounded.

"Wei Chen has met your Majesty, the Queen, and the Prince." Liu Banshan came out to welcome him, and also noticed His Majesty helping the Queen lift up her skirt, but he concealed it very well. No one can see his emotions.

"No need to be polite," Rong Xia said directly, "Where are those assassins detained?"

Liu Banshan glanced at Prince He, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please come with us."

Your Majesty is willing to bring Prince He here, which shows that Your Majesty still has some room for Prince He. If this matter really has nothing to do with Prince He, for the sake of the Queen, Your Majesty should not embarrass Prince He too much.

At this time, the assassins who were imprisoned in the Tianlao had no intention of getting out alive. However, when they saw that the prince and the prince were also brought in by the emperor, the expressions on their faces changed. Liu Banshan noticed his expression and his heart sank. It seemed that this matter really had something to do with the prince.

"You..." Prince He looked shocked when he saw these assassins, "Didn't I tell you to leave the capital, live a good life, and never come back again?"

"Prince He, have you never heard of people dying for money?" an assassin asked, "What can you do with the little money you give your brothers? Although King Ru is cruel, he is generous in his dealings, including money, houses With women and brothers, he has everything he needs. Why should we listen to you and go to those remote places to live a miserable life?"

"Since you have become the prince of the new dynasty, leave us brothers alone. We don't want to follow a spineless master like you."

Prince He looked at these assassins with a pale face. These people were all dead soldiers who had accompanied him since childhood. The one who spoke was because he was hit by an arrow in his back and it took him more than a year to recover. There was another one, because he had three broken toes and one arm, and several others were loyal to him and wished they could repay him with their lives. How could these people do such a thing for Jiang Luo?

The prince suddenly remembered Shi's reaction before entering the palace. He looked at these people blankly, and after a while he said in a hoarse voice: "Did Shi ask you to do it?"

The expressions of several assassins all changed, but the assassin who spoke just now spoke again, "It's so interesting to be with the prince. You think the princess is old and slutty, so you just divorced her. How can you give her such a blame? After all, it's just one night. Husband and wife Bai Yeen, you are too ruthless."

The assassin was burying Tai and Prince in and out of his words, but he picked up Prince He completely in every sentence.

Even if Banhua was not interested in conspiracy and calculation at all, he now figured it out. In all likelihood, these assassins were recruited by Shi in the name of his cousin. After the assassination incident was exposed, these assassins who were loyal to his cousin were unwilling to implicate him to the death. They all insisted that they were Jiang Luo's people.

Anyway, Jiang Luo has done so many immoral things, so it doesn't matter if he takes another blame.

What Banhua could figure out, Rong Xia could even guess. He didn’t want to see this kind of scene of deep love between master and servant, so he said directly, "Prince He, I will take you to see Prince Ru."

The assassin thought that Rong Xia wanted the two Jiang brothers to confront each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Emperor Cheng'an really doubted King Li, so they were relieved.

To go to the place where King Li is imprisoned, you have to pass through other prisons. When passing by Tianzi Cell No. 7, Banhua saw the middle-aged woman imprisoned inside and stopped.

This person is the madam of Huanhua Pavilion and the owner of Killer Building. After removing her gorgeous clothes and gold hairpin, she looks much older.

The madam also saw Banhua. She looked away expressionlessly, with no regard for life or death.

Banhua chuckled lightly and walked away. However, after the Madam heard her chuckle, she suddenly turned her head and looked over, and could only see Banhua's back surrounded by people as she left.

She thought about the Evergreen King who was locked inside, and could no longer calm down.

No matter how good-looking a man is, if he does not wash or change clean clothes for a long time, he is no different from the dirty and lazy man on the street. The Evergreen King once had a handsome face, but what Banhua saw now was just a man with knotted hair and dirty body.

What grace and nobility were all turned into smoke.

"King Evergreen," she stood outside the cell door, looking at King Changqing with black hands, and said in a calm voice, "I have a question in my heart, I wonder if you can help me answer it?"

Rong Xia and Prince He stopped. Rong Xia glanced at Banhua and said nothing.

Probably because he had been locked up in the heavenly prison for too long, King Changqing became lifeless and no longer as graceful as before. He glanced at Banhua a few times and said in a calm voice, "Ask."

"That Bago who could only say long live the emperor back then, was someone deliberately framing you, or was it just a play you acted?"

“I didn’t expect my good niece to remember this little thing, I almost forgot about it,” King Changqing laughed proudly, “I was born in the royal family, so why bother to insist on what is true and what is false, my cousin is still a bit innocent. It’s a blessing.”

His dark eyes fell on Rong Xia: "I only hope that a long life in the harem will not bury your temperament and make you become as pale and lifeless as those women."

Rong Xia frowned and said nothing.

"Human, the rarest heart is also the most worthless heart," the Evergreen King chuckled, "I hope my good niece will never regret it in her life, and she will laugh until she grows old."

"Thank you for your good advice," Banhua smiled and nodded, "Cousin, please live a good life. This prison is spacious and breathable. If you live there for a few more years, you will get used to it."

The smile on King Changqing's face froze. He stared at Banhua with wide eyes, as if he were looking at a terrifying monster.

"I probably already know the answer to this question. My cousin doesn't need to answer it for me." Banhua smiled like a flower, with bright colors at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "Please have a good rest, cousin. When you get here, you don't have to." How nice it is to worry about court battles and intrigues."

Liu Banshan: No, he won’t feel good about it.

Prince He: My cousin’s mouth is still the same...characterful.

Rong Xia held Banhua's hand. He didn't say any excuses or promises, but regardless of the eyes of everyone around him, he held Banhua's hand firmly in his palm. .

Liu Banshan touched his nose. This is the Heavenly Prison, a place where felons are imprisoned. As emperors and empresses, can't these two people show their majesty as empresses in front of felons?

Holding hands like this, they are sticky, as if they are out playing.

His Majesty has changed. He is no longer the calm and majestic King he used to be. Liu Banshan didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for a while. When he followed His Majesty, His Majesty was still in his weak years, but his methods were unmatched by anyone and impressed countless people.

When he was young, he heard his mother mention that there are no perfect people in this world. If there were, this person would not live a very happy life.

When he was a child, he didn't understand. It wasn't until he joined His Majesty's service and watched His Majesty calmly arrange one major event after another that he understood the meaning of his mother's words. His Majesty is always calculating and planning every step of the way. In his eyes, anyone and anything can only be divided into two categories, one is useful and the other is useless.

The only surprise was the Jingting Palace.

At that time, the empress was just a local monarch, but she whipped Tanhua, who was appointed by Emperor Yunqing, and even made a fuss in the court. The literati's mouth is so sharp. The empress has offended the literati, how can she have anything good to say to her?

But at this time, His Majesty actually stood up. He did not share the same hatred with the literati, but spoke for the Queen.

At that time, he only thought that His Majesty intended to make good friends with the Ban family, and he knew that Emperor Yun Qing liked Queen Ban, so he helped Queen Ban to defend her. Looking back now, I'm afraid that His Majesty already had some affection for Queen Ban at that time.

Later, Du Jiu found out that the Ban family had private contacts with military generals. Even Zhao Weishen, the Minister of War, often sent news to the Ban family. His Majesty was the spy captain of Emperor Yunqing at the time, but he did not hand over this news. It was suppressed.

If Your Majesty delivers this news, even if the eldest princess can clear Emperor Yunqing's suspicion of the Ban family, the Ban family will not be promoted from earl to Duke, and Queen Ban will not be promoted from township monarch to Princess.

He only thought that His Majesty wanted to win over the Ban family and take advantage of the Ban family's position among the generals, so he would help the Ban family. It turned out that he was really overthinking this. Not only did His Majesty not take advantage of the Ban family's connections, he even helped the Ban family to clean up the matter. Even the suspicious Emperor Yun Qing could not see anything wrong.

Once a ruthless person gets emotional, the dead wood will bloom and the old house will be on fire. If you don't destroy everything and are willing to give something, that's not called being tempted.

Your Majesty, who plans everything, the only thing in this life that has not been calculated is probably the feelings of Queen Ban.

Looking at the man and woman holding hands in front of him, Liu Banshan turned to look at Prince He, and saw that his expression was even more comfortable than his own.

As expected of someone who has been a prince, his adaptability is better than him.

The innermost prison room was locked with a heavy iron door. There was only a ventilation opening no bigger than a palm on the iron door. Looking in from outside the door, I could only see a black hole. Prince He trembled in his heart. Is the second brother being imprisoned here?

The heavy iron door opened, and the prince blinked, and then he could barely see an iron cage in this dim room. There was a person sitting in the cage. This person did not move, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive.

Liu lit two candles for a long time, and the light in the room became brighter.

"Second brother," Prince He saw the person in the cage clearly and took a few steps forward. Suddenly he stopped, looked back at Rong Xia, and pushed behind Rong Xia.

But his small movement was discovered by Jiang Luo, who was locked in the cage. He grabbed the cage and looked at the prince with ecstasy: "Brother, brother, take me away, please take me away." I'm leaving."

"I really can't stay here any longer. Please take me away. I will never make trouble with you or argue with you again. Please save me."

He and the prince saw that he was wearing clean clothes, and his face and hands were also clean. He looked many times better than the Evergreen King who was locked away outside. The corners of his lips trembled, but he did not plead for Jiang Luo after all.

Jiang Luo saw that he and the prince had not spoken, and he stretched out his hand desperately outside the cage. The man in his twenties was crying with an embarrassed face: "Brother, you can't leave me alone, do you want me to die in here?"

"Your Highness Prince Li, Wei Chen never mistreated you when he was in charge of you. If you misunderstand your words, wouldn't you want Wei Chen to die to apologize?" Liu Banshan held a lamp. He walked over and looked at Jiang Luo with a half-smile, "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense."

When Jiang Luo saw Liu Banshan, he trembled with fear. It was this **** who kept him in a dark room all day long. No one was allowed to talk to him or appear in the room. Except for three meals a day and a change of clothes brought in, no one shows up every day. And even if these people show up, they act as if he doesn't exist and don't say a word.

This method of not hitting or scolding people was fine for a day or two, but after a long time, I realized that this was the most painful torture. Sometimes Jiang Luo even doubted whether he had really been emperor, whether he was really alive, and what was happening outside. Otherwise, why would the world be so quiet? It was so quiet that it made people want to go crazy.

Liu Banshan was once just a petty official whom he didn't look down on, but he didn't expect that this seemingly gentle man would have such weird ways of torturing people.

So when he saw Prince He, his tense emotions finally collapsed. This was his only hope.

He couldn't even see Banhua and Rong Xia, because he knew that the eldest brother would definitely tolerate him and tolerate him. Even if he did something wrong, as long as he begged and cried, the eldest brother would Softhearted.

But he forgot that his eldest brother was no longer the prince, and his surname was not Jiang. Even if he and the prince wanted to save him, there was nothing they could do.

He and the prince looked at the second brother who looked a little abnormal. His lips trembled for a long time and he could not say a word of mercy.

Those who died in the hands of the second brother had no chance to speak.
