"Dad, sit down here, it's a little cold to the wind, it's warmer here." Ye Qingliu and his father were locked up together, and he finally found a fairly clean place in this narrow cell, and then helped Ye Chengxiang over and sat down.
Prime Minister Ye Cheng had a serious illness because he knelt on the cold bluestone slab for a long time ago, and his body was thrown into the cell by his family before he was completely well, so he was extremely difficult in this even more gloomy and cold dungeon, Ye Qingliu was very worried about whether his body could hold up, so he could only do his best to make him comfortable.
"I'm fine, ahem...... I don't know what happened to your grandmother and your mother, they are all women's families, their bodies are already weak, and your sister-in-law is about to give birth, so she followed our grandfather and suffered this crime for no reason. Prime Minister Ye regretted a little, "I knew that I should have sent them to follow Changsheng no matter what." ”
"It's not my father's fault, even if I sent them away at that time, I think my grandmother and mother would never be willing." Ye Qingliu comforted him.
"However, this time we missed a step after all, but I didn't expect him to be so poisonous that even his own father was going to harm him." Ye Qingliu never believed in the emperor's sudden death, they didn't see him until the emperor died of illness, and it doesn't make sense to say that the three princes didn't do anything.
Prime Minister Ye opened his mouth to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he coughed violently, "That's it, now that they have all become prisoners, it's a little too late to say anything." Now I only hope that your eldest brother and the crown prince will be smooth on the one hand, and the second is that the other side of Changsheng will be safe. ”
Ye Qingliu nodded, took off his coat and put it on him: "The eldest brother has always acted steadily, and he will definitely be able to protect the prince, father, please rest assured." It's just that although the eldest brother has a heavy army, if he rashly raises troops, there is no legitimate reason after all, even if he raises troops to drive the three princes off the throne, the crown prince's throne is a little unjustifiable, and this infamy will be carried on the back of thousands of generations. ”
Prime Minister Ye sighed again.
"As for Xiao Wu's side, Ren Xiang can only hide it for a while, it's better than following us to go to prison like this." Ye Qingliu lowered his eyes and face, his face was full of guilt: "Xiao Wu is so well-behaved, he shouldn't blame us in the future." ”
The father and son were relatively silent after discussing for a while, and the originally quiet atmosphere after half a pillar of incense was suddenly interrupted by the jailer who broke in.
The people rudely pulled their throats and said to the two people: "On the order of the new emperor, take this prisoner to the torture room for interrogation!" He stretched out his hand and pointed at Prime Minister Ye Cheng and said, and then immediately someone came to drag people.
Ye Qingliu hurriedly protected his father behind him, "You are so bold, this is the prime minister of a country!" ”
The jailer sneered when he heard this: "Now he is not a prime minister!" When you arrive in our dungeon where you can't see the light, it doesn't matter if you are a relative of the emperor or a high-ranking official, you will be punished like brothers! ”
Seeing that they really wanted to pull with their hands, Ye Qingliu could only protect his father and shouted: "If you want to interrogate, take me there, the prime minister is too old to stand the toss!" Besides, the world is impermanent, you must know that feng shui takes turns, if our Ye family rises up again in time, you have to leave a way out for yourself! ”
The jailer at the head didn't care about this, and stretched out his hand to pull it up, but the thin and tall pawn behind him listened to his words and pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand to grab him, and muttered in his ear. After hearing this, the big man thought for a moment before waving his hand, and pulled Ye Qingliu out instead.
"Clear stream!" When Ye Cheng saw that they were going to take away his son, he desperately tried to stop them, but he was no match for these strong jailers, and could only watch his second son being dragged out.
Ye Qingliu was forcibly dragged into another interrogation room by them, there was a row of torture instruments hanging on the wall, and his face was full of the smell of blood like rust, thinking that he had interrogated many people here.
There were several jailers standing in front of him. For a person of Ye Qingliu's status, it was the first time in his life to come to the torture room, although he was a little worried in his heart, his face was indifferent.
When the jailers saw that he was a weak nobleman, and when he faced these torture instruments that were enough to frighten an adult strong man, but still maintained a calm and calm demeanor, they were very impressed with him for a while, and saw that he was born very well, and they really couldn't bear to do it for a while.
However, after all, they eat the emperor's food, and if they are not satisfied, they will lose their heads at any time, so they still have to obey the emperor's orders.
So they took down a red gold whip from the wall and began to interrogate this noble son.
It was only more than half an hour, and Ye Qingliu's whole body was not clean, and his whole body was drenched in blood from whipping.
He didn't say a word, of course.
The jailer's hand that had been beating him was a little sore, and he remembered the order of the higher authorities not to kill people, and when he saw that the hour was almost up, he didn't ask anything, so he waved his hand and threw it back. But instead of returning him to his previous cell, they left him in another prisoner's room.
Tianjia coldly watched as a bloody man was thrown into his own territory, and listened expressionlessly as the jailers scolded and closed the iron door again, without saying a word. His whole body was chained and he couldn't move, so he just watched the bloody man squirm on the ground with blood all over the ground, and he didn't make a sound to ask one or two, let alone sympathize with this guy.
You must know that for a dark guard like him, who lives in the shadows and kills, what little tenderness he has left is reserved for the little young master who is held in the palm of his hand.
Ye Qingliu was thrown on the cold ground, only to feel that his eyes were full of blood red, and there was no place in his body that was not painful. When he was whipped by the red gold whip, he could even clearly feel the sound of his flesh being beaten to the point of blooming, but every time he was about to rush out of his mouth, he choked and swallowed it alive.
He was afraid that his screams would be heard, and his parents, grandmothers, who were also locked up in this cell, and his sister-in-law, who was pregnant and about to give birth, would hear it, and it would make them frightened.
He crawled alone on the ground for a long time before he reluctantly sat up against the wall.
"Hiss-" Because he accidentally touched the wall when he sat up, the wound was squeezed violently, Ye Qingliu couldn't help but gasp, and he was about to scream. After slowing down for a while, he raised his hand with difficulty to wipe away the blood-colored dirt in front of him, and only then could he barely see what was in front of him.
Then he found that he was not alone in this prison, and after seeing this other person, Ye Qingliu smiled politely at him: "Brother Tai, I'm really sorry to disturb your tranquility." ”
Ye Qingliu, the second son of the Ye family, is as gentle as jade, and has always been known for his reputation as a humble gentleman and a gentleman. It is rumored that when he was a teenager, he wore a white-clothed folding fan to watch the scenery at the bridgehead of the capital, and suddenly looked back and smiled, which really amazed countless men and women vying to witness the style. Ye Ershao's appearance doesn't need to be said, but he has a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes, and when he smiles at people, he will always make people mistakenly think that he is looking at each other affectionately, so how many ladies and even willing to give up the reserve of their daughter's family want to marry him.
Now even if Ye Ershao is sitting in such a place with a bloody wolf, his face is still like that elegant young master, as if he is not sitting in a cage, but sitting in a small building drinking tea and listening to a small song.
For his kind talk, Tianjia ignored him. In fact, he generally doesn't pay much attention to people who are not interested.
Ye Qingliu touched the wall, but he just grinned lightly and was a little angry, but he accidentally touched the wound just now and there was a burst of gasp.
He didn't really want to talk to the cold-faced god in front of him who couldn't get along with him, but if he didn't want to distract himself by talking to someone, he was afraid that he would faint from the pain at any time.
"Brother Tai doesn't know Gao's surname? Where do you live? Why are you locked up here? He endured his injuries and asked a series of questions.
Tianjia didn't even give a look.
Ye Qingliu didn't care that he didn't care about himself, he just chattered to himself: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to speak, it's just that brother Tai don't dislike me for arguing, anyway, there are only you and me in this room, if we don't talk anymore, it's too boring, no one knows how long this prison will be, it's good to have someone to accompany you." ”
Tianjia listened to this person's constant chirping, and his heart was really impatient.
This life has a good skin, and he looks like a suave boy, why is there so much nonsense when he opens his mouth.
It's really annoying, Tianjia was originally a taciturn person, and he was locked up here for many days just quietly recuperating from his injuries, and occasionally thought about something else, but today he was suddenly thrown a beautiful word and nagged over, and he was forced to listen for a while and began to want to throw people out.
He didn't want to know anything about this man's family. He doesn't care about the content of the quarrel between his father and mother, he doesn't want to know how much love his eldest brother and wife have, and he doesn't want to know how likable and painful his cute and innocent little brother is.
When it comes to cuteness and pain, Tianjia is a little disdainful.
There are so many children in this world, which one can compare to his little master, that is called a beautiful water spirit! Not only is the person good-looking, but the temperament is also first-class well-behaved and clever, and he knows how to be considerate and not cause trouble to others.
In such a comparison, Tianjia couldn't help but feel a little proud.
It doesn't matter who he is, after all, it's better to be his own little master.
