Prince Xuan's Residence
dungeon
"Pah!"
The whip dipped in salt water fell on the ferocious wound. No matter how hard Ji Tian was, he couldn't help but flinch.
"I remember that I once said, don't try Crown Prince's idea in Jiangzhou's territory,"
Prince Xuan took back the whip and pulled it.
He glanced coldly at the man who had been beaten to a bloody pulp, "Ji Tian, you are really capable. How dare you disobey my king's orders and make your own decisions?"
"Subordinate... there is nothing wrong..."
Ji Tian raised his eyes with difficulty, his voice hoarse but with a hint of determination, "Master... you are too naive. As long as Crown Prince is not eliminated for one day... His Majesty will not establish another prince,"
"When do you have to wait until... to return to Capital City?"
"This subordinate really doesn't want to see his master buried in a small place like Jiangzhou and gradually forgotten by His Majesty, so that's why,"
"Pah!"
"How dare you speak so harshly!"
Prince Xuan Seeing that he didn't want to repent, he couldn't help but whip him again, "I am not so incompetent that I need one of your subordinates to make decisions without permission!"
He said with a tone full of disdain and resentment, "Have you ever thought about how Emperor Father would treat and deal with me if he knew that something happened to Crown Prince with me?"
"When the time comes, it will be easy for me to be deposed!"
"And Little Imperial Uncle, before I left the capital, I confessed that I was competing with Crown Prince openly, but now Crown Prince has lost his life here, how should he treat me!"
Long before leaving Beijing, he had decided that no matter whether he fought for the position of prince or not, he would never take Crown Prince's life again.
What's more, my uncle is still happy with Crown Prince now. No matter what he does, he can't put a knife in his heart.
What does it matter now? Crown Prince was seriously injured by his own soldiers and was in danger. He turned into a villain who did not keep his word and was not a human being inside and outside!
"You idiots really piss me off!"
"Master, don't worry... my subordinates are mentally prepared. If His Majesty is held accountable, I will commit suicide in fear of crime and will never implicate my master!" Ji Tian said with a heroic look on his face.
"Haha! You have a good idea, and you still arrange it for me?"
Prince Xuan sneered, a hint of coldness and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Do you think this matter can be solved by your own suicide? You are my personal bodyguards, who would believe that I am innocent?"
"Pah!"
He was so angry that he whipped him on the chest again!
"Hmm"
The salt water flowed into the wound along the whip, and Ji Tian couldn't help but groan in pain!
"I don't believe that you would suddenly disobey my order for no reason,"
Prince Xuan stared at him with sharp eyes and said, "Tell me, who is giving you this bad idea secretly?"
Ji Tian was slightly stunned.
He lowered his head silently and lowered his eyes slightly.
After a moment, he bit his lip and said weakly, "Yes... His Highness Prince Cheng, he said that as long as you get rid of Crown Prince, His Majesty will call you back to the capital..."
Prince Xuan suddenly paused.
After reacting, he couldn't help but burst into anger,
"Pah!"
I was so angry that I couldn't help but whip him again!
"Idiot! Do you believe what Second Imperial Brother says? He wants to use my hand to get rid of Crown Prince, and at the same time, he will use the opportunity to overthrow me, killing two birds with one stone!"
Second Imperial Brother's hands were really long, and they even reached out to the people around him.
What a good plan!
Could it be that he thought that he was still the reckless and ignorant child he was then, and was allowed to be instigated by him!
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the fire in his heart was rushing upwards, "Have your brains been eaten by dogs, and you didn't ask me first?"
"Are you Second Imperial Brother's guards or my king's guards? I don't listen to my orders, but you just go and listen to his nonsense!"
"Master, you can insult the brains of your subordinates, but you cannot insult their loyalty!"
When Ji Tian heard that Prince Xuan suspected them, he immediately became anxious, "My subordinates have always been loyal to their master and never have second thoughts!"
Prince Xuan took a deep breath and silently put down the whip.
What's the use of questioning their loyalty at this time...
The damage they caused to Crown Prince Elder Imperial Brother is irreparable.
Ji Tian saw him turn around and leave, thinking that he didn't believe what he said, so he struggled to argue, "Master, you have to believe in this subordinate. I really didn't betray my master!"
"Master!!"
"Let them kill themselves... I have no need of disobedient subordinates..."
Prince Xuan comes out of the dungeon.
The snow was falling heavily outside, as if I had suffered a great injustice, and I couldn't wait to tell others about my injustice.
"Your Majesty, where are you going now?" Konoe asked.
Prince Xuan stared at the sky blankly, a trace of loneliness and confusion flashed in his eyes.
After a moment, he replied, "Go...Cui Residence,"
Cui Residence
"Your Highness... it's snowing, and the Plum Blossom of Back Mountain has opened. You said that when the Plum Blossom opens, you will accompany me to walk in the snow to find plum blossoms, and recite poems and write poems..."
Cui Rong looked at the motionless man on the bed with a bloodless face, gently took his hand and put it in his hand to warm it, "Your Highness, you can't break your promise... don't sleep too much, please wake up soon, okay?"
There was a trace of imperceptible sadness in his eyes.
The scene he saw when he rushed outside the city yesterday suddenly flashed through his mind.
His Crown Prince, even in the face of life and death, is so calm and upright, without a trace of fear or flinching.
But his heart couldn't stop the dull pain.
He caressed his eyebrows, his eyes full of deep nostalgia, "Your Highness... I still have something to say to you... I will tell you when you wake up, okay?"
When the doctor saw him talking to himself all day and night, he was worried that he was too sad, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him, "Sir, the knife wound is right in the center. Crown Prince I'm afraid..."
"Nonsense!"
Cui Rong refuted him, "Your Highness, he is just asleep,"
He glanced at the doctor coldly, "You should know what the crime of cursing Crown Prince is. If there is another time, you should know the consequences!"
When the doctor heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He shouldn't talk too much...
"He just told the truth, why should uncle embarrass him," Prince Xuan came in and said,
He waved his hand and asked the doctor to go down first.
When Cui Rong saw him, a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, "Are you also here to make me give up Crown Prince?"
"Why are you forcing me... He is obviously just asleep, I can feel it!"
Prince Xuan:"..."
I never thought that my uncle, who was always calm and self-possessed, would have such a crazy day.
Love... is really terrible!
"Uncle... it was my negligence this time that caused Elder Imperial Brother to suffer this disaster..."
He lowered his eyes and said.
Cui Rong Hearing this, his eyes suddenly darkened.
"No, it's all because of me...Crown Prince It's all because of me..."
It's because he is too confident in himself.
He thought that Crown Prince would be safe in his house, but unexpectedly, someone saw the flaw and used him as bait to lure out Crown Prince...
He failed to protect his Crown Prince.
It's him who is too selfish.
He shouldn't be greedy for this feeling.
You shouldn't... covet Crown Prince.
It's him who deserves to die, not... his Crown Prince.
