Chapter Seventy-Seven: House Arrest
Shen Tianao walked into the dungeon of the palace, it was dark, it was a place specially used to hold secret prisoners, he stood outside a room, and saw the shopkeeper Du wearing heavy shackles and half lying on the ground, he suddenly laughed: "How is it?" I'm in pretty good condition here, right? Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
His tone was deeply mocking, and the shopkeeper Du slowly looked up at him, and said indifferently: "Thank you for the prince's hospitality." ”
"I'm afraid your master won't be able to save you, shopkeeper Du." The corners of Shen Tianao's mouth raised, and his smile looked even deeper, and he looked down at Shopkeeper Du condescendingly and said, "I can consider letting you go once, but from now on you will be used by me." ”
"Phew." Shopkeeper Du spat at him, glared at Shen Tianao fiercely and said, "Since it has fallen into your hands, if you want to kill or kill you, don't talk to me about any conditions, I will not turn my back on the regent." ”
Shen Tianao pressed his right hand to his lips, made a contemplative and said: "I don't understand what benefits your master has given you, you can be so loyal to him, Long Yuting can give you gold and silver money, doesn't this king have the ability to give you?" ”
Shopkeeper Du laughed a few times, glared angrily and said: "King Anqing, you are just a rebellious person, what qualifications do you have to talk to me about this, my heart will always be towards Your Majesty, towards the regent, you vassal kings are just a group of rabble." ”
"What a rabble." Shen Tianao raised his hands and slapped them twice, as if he was applauding Du's words, he glanced at Du's shopkeeper coldly, and said to the jailers, "Serve Du's shopkeeper and the little boy next to him well, before the execution, I will make them completely skinny." ”
"What do you do to the princess?" Shopkeeper Du suddenly struggled to get up, stared at Shen Tianao tightly and asked.
"She?" Shen Tianao squinted at him, "She still has use value, I will keep her life for the time being." ”
"She's your princess." Shopkeeper Du's voice softened when he said this, he didn't fully regent's instructions to him, and he felt guilty for not rescuing Gu Qingcheng, not to mention that she fell into the hands of King Anqing again, and she didn't know how she would be treated in the future, and King Anqing's methods might slowly torture her to death.
Shen Tianao looked at the shopkeeper Du begging him, and couldn't help but feel very proud in his heart, he just loved to see others prostrate in front of him, and the more they begged like this, the happier he was.
"She's my princess, so don't bother with the shopkeeper, you're just a dying person." There was a faint smile in his words, but there was a haze in his eyes that did not match the smile.
As soon as he raised his hand, the guards tied the shopkeeper to the torture rack, and he laughed at the sound of the whip falling on the flesh, and the crisp sound sounded to him like a musical instrument.
The lights in the dungeon flickered on and off, and the shopkeeper Du was whipped and spit out several mouthfuls of blood, he barely raised his head to watch Shen Tianao's figure disappear into the dim dungeon, and his eyes were as dark as ashes with Shen Tianao's departure.
Regarding the disposal of Gu Qingcheng, Steward Chen had already made a variety of suggestions to Shen Tianao, and he said more than once: "Lord Wang, after the princess gives birth to a child, get rid of her completely." ”
Every time Shen Tianao heard this, he was just thinking deeply, and did not answer Steward Chen's question urgently, and after a while, he said to Steward Chen: "If I want to kill your wife, are you willing?" ”
Steward Chen was speechless for a while, and at the end he said in a slumped voice: "Lord, the princess, she is different from ordinary women, she is a chess piece that the regent has placed beside you, if this chess piece is not removed, I am afraid it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future." ”
Shen Tianao held his forehead with his hand, his originally calm black eyes became complicated because of Gu Qingcheng's matter, and he said softly: "I'll discuss her later, now this king doesn't want to mention her, we should discuss how to deal with the regent." ”
"The old slave has been ready for this for a long time." Steward Chen confidently said, "I have already sent envoys to the rest of the vassal kings according to the instructions of the prince. ”
Shen Tianao's handsome face became unpredictable, and he said in a warm tone: "They actually have the intention of rebellion for a long time, we only need a time, wait for the five of us to join forces and concentrate all our forces to attack Liangdu, it is a matter of time before we take it, but before that, there may be a better way." ”
"What the prince said, even, if we can take down Liangdu at the least cost, of course it would be very good." Steward Chen echoed on the side, except for Gu Qingcheng's matter, he basically wouldn't refute King Anqing about the rest of the things, but that woman looked a little eye-catching.
Since Shen Tianao recaptured Gu Tingcheng back to the palace, he didn't say goodbye to her, he wanted to slowly polish off this woman's mark in his heart, but somehow, he was going to go to the study, and finally came to Gu Tingcheng's room.
"How is the princess?" Shen Tianao stood at the door and asked Green Clothes.
Lu Sheng glanced into the house and said carefully: "Back to the prince, the princess is fine, but she doesn't want to eat, and the slaves and maids persuade her, and she only eats a little." ”
"Does she want to die?" Shen Tianao replied with a smile, he strode into the house and walked, looking at the food on the table, Gu Tingcheng didn't move a little, he looked over and saw Gu Tingcheng lying quietly on the bed.
"Do you want to die? Gu Tingcheng. He said as he picked up his rice bowl and walked over.
Gu Qingcheng listened to his words, just glanced at him lightly, still didn't move, she didn't want to say half a word to Shen Tianao, but Shen Tianao didn't fulfill her wish, he asked Tsing Yi and Lu Yi to help her up, and insisted on stuffing rice into her mouth: "Gu Tingcheng, how can you die now, how can you still watch a good show when you die." ”
Shen Tianao almost told her about her pregnancy, but he knew that it was not the time to talk about this matter, he just wanted to force this woman to the most precipitous position, so that she could not survive and die, this was the price of betraying him, but if Gu Qingcheng died now, he and her child would be completely lost.
"Lord Wang, you better let me die a happy death." Gu Qingcheng said coldly.
"How can this king be willing to let you die." Shen Tianao gritted his teeth and said, he didn't care that the soup spoon would hurt her lips, and desperately stuffed the food into her mouth.
Under Shen Tianao's strong movements, Gu Qingcheng was forced to swallow rice grains and food, and she glared at Shen Tianao fiercely, as if he was her worst enemy.
She knew that if she was arrested back to the palace this time, she was afraid that it would be nine deaths, but so far Shen Tianao didn't seem to have tortured her, except for putting her under house arrest, what did he do that made her very puzzled, what did he want to do? (To be continued.) )
