Chapter 322: Dead Heart

Gu Yifeng smiled faintly, glanced up at Uncle Chai, and said gently, "Yes, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and now I can finally get my wish." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Huh." Uncle Chai laughed and said in a deep voice, "Congratulations to my lord for getting my wish, so that I can also put down the burden on my shoulders." ”

Gu Yifeng looked at Uncle Chai with a shocked face, and said loudly, "Uncle Chai, what do you mean by this?" Don't you ・・・・・・. ”

Although Gu Yifeng didn't ask out loud in the latter words, Uncle Chai already understood the meaning of his later words in his heart, nodded his head, and said in a low voice, "Yes, just like you guessed, my lord, I am also ready to resign from the position of master, and go home to relax." ”

"Uncle Chai, why are you doing this? Even if I leave the yamen, you can stay in this yamen and continue to be your master, why go home? Gu Yifeng said puzzled.

After all, Uncle Chai is alone, old and frail, if he returns home, it is better to choose to stay in this yamen and continue to serve as the master, so he still has monthly money, and he does not have to worry about his own life and diet, but if Uncle Chai returns home, then he will lose his income, and he will have to do his previous work again, chopping firewood and selling firewood for a living.

Uncle Chai glanced at Gu Yifeng, knowing his worries, and said with a smile, "My lord, I understand what you mean, but I have made up my mind, my lord doesn't need to persuade me, and I have saved some money for a month during this time, even if I return home, I won't starve myself, my lord, you can rest assured." ”

Gu Yifeng saw his serious look and knew that he had made up his mind, so he couldn't persuade him anymore, and sighed, "Okay, since you've thought it through, then I won't persuade you anymore." ”

On the other hand, since Long Qi left the inn, he has been looking for Jiuyue's whereabouts around, but after searching for three days in a row, he didn't know any of Jiuyue's whereabouts, so Long Qi had no choice but to return to the Dragon Palace.

When Prime Minister Gui saw Long Qi appear in front of him, he was so excited that he almost hugged Long Qi and cried, you must know that the time of these three days is about to come, but he is worried about whether his head can be left intact on his neck at any time, and now Long Qi's appearance can be regarded as saving his head, how can he not be happy.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have finally returned, where have you been in the past few days? The old slave is looking for you, and his eyes are almost blind. Prime Minister Gui said as if he was about to cry.

Long Qi glanced at Prime Minister Gui, and saw that he looked crying and mourning, and said listlessly, "Do you have something to do with Your Highness?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not the old slave who is looking for you to have something, it's the Dragon King." Prime Minister Gui Cheng said anxiously, you must know that the Dragon King almost killed the entire Dragon Palace because he couldn't find the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past few days, and now the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be regarded as saving their lives.

"Father?" Long Qi was stunned, then glanced at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind Prime Minister Gui, and then asked, "Prime Minister Gui, do you know what happened to my father looking for this prince?" ”

Prime Minister Gui shook his head and frowned, "The old slave doesn't know, but the Dragon King seems to be very angry when he returns to the palace this time." ”

"Really?" Long Qi squinted his eyes and said, with a complicated color in his eyes, and waved his sleeves, "Since this is the case, then you should quickly take this prince to see your father." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Prime Minister Gui replied with a smile, and then walked to the front to lead the way for Long Qi, and after a while, Long Qi and Prime Minister Gui appeared in Long Teng's palace.

At this time, Long Teng was sitting on the dragon chair in the palace, and when he saw the maid walking in from outside the palace, Long Teng looked up at the maidservant and frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

The servant girl who came in knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Qiyu Dragon King, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Gui are asking to see you outside the door." ”

Long Teng put down the tea in his hand, waved his sleeves and said, "Pass." ”

"Yes, Dragonlord." The maidservant who was kneeling on the ground replied solemnly, and then got up and exited the hall.

After a while, Long Qi and Prime Minister Gui walked in from outside the hall together, leaned over and bowed, "The child sees his father." ”

"The old slave sees the dragon king."

Long Teng, who was sitting above, glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Father."

"King Xie Long."

"Someone comes, give the crown prince." Long Teng looked at the two maids on the side and said coldly.

"Yes, Dragonlord." The two maids standing in the hall replied respectfully, and then carried out a silver stone chair.

"Thank you, Father." Long Qi replied calmly, then lifted his robe and sat down, and the turtle prime minister standing beside him quickly stood beside him, and then the maid hurriedly poured a glass of water for Long Qi.

"Qi'er, where have you been these days? Why didn't you wait in the inn? Long Teng glanced at Long Qi, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said with a serious face.

Long Qi looked up at Long Teng, then lowered his head and said, "Back to my father, the child... ”

"Really? Have you found the whereabouts of Yue'er's girl? Long Teng asked unhurriedly, as if asking another trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

Long Qi clenched his hands tightly, shook his head, and said helplessly, "No." ”

Long Teng raised his eyebrows, the tea in his hand was placed on the table beside him, and said in a low voice, "Since you didn't find Yue'er's girl, then you won't be looking for Yue'er's girl in the future." ”

"Why?" Long Qi asked with a look of astonishment, "Father, have you changed your attention?" Don't you plan to make Yue'er the crown princess of the child? ”

"Yes, Yue'er's girl violated the rules of the Dragon Palace, and she is no longer qualified to be your crown princess, and my father plans to choose a new crown princess candidate for you." Long Teng replied without denial.

How could he possibly let such a woman who had nothing marry his son? What's more, that girl doesn't love her son at all.

"No, Father, you can't do that." Long Qi said excitedly, "Except for Yue'er, the child will not marry anyone, and I hope that my father will not persecute the child." ”

Although he didn't know why his father suddenly objected so much, he wouldn't give up Yue'er so easily.

"Presumptuous." Long Teng slapped his palm on the table, strode down the steps, came to Long Qi's face, and said angrily, "Prince, you are becoming more and more disagreeable now, and you don't take this king seriously anymore, this king can solemnly tell you now, that girl Jiuyue will never be able to become the daughter-in-law of this king, you will die that heart for this king." ”

'No, Father. Long Qi yelled, "Didn't you agree that the child and Yue'er were together before?" Why is there such opposition now? Father, are you joking with your children? ’

Long Teng raised his hand and slapped Long Qi, making a "snap" sound, which made the entire hall instantly quiet, and even the Prime Minister Turtle who was standing next to Long Qi was shocked by this slap, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.

Long Qi was stunned by his slap, and couldn't help but reach out to stroke the left side of his face, Long Teng didn't expect that he would suddenly reach out and hit someone, and there was a touch of discomfort in his eyes, but he still withdrew his hand, pretending to be calm.

"Prince, now you are sober." Long Teng asked coldly.

Long Qi turned his head to look at Long Teng, put down the hand that was on the left side of his face, and said expressionlessly, "Father, even if you beat the child, the child still says the same thing, except for Yue'er in this life, the child will not marry any woman as his wife." ”

"You ・・・・・・." Long Teng was almost speechless by his anger.

When Prime Minister Gui Cheng, who was standing behind Long Qi, heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's answer, he almost didn't mention it in one breath, he was so anxious in his heart that he secretly said anxiously, "My ancestor, do you know what you say again?" Aren't you looking for a lottery when you answer like that? ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall cooled down dozens of degrees at once, and the maid standing in the hall couldn't help but tremble by the cold breath, even the turtle prime minister was carrying a turtle shell, and he could feel the chill, he knew that this time His Royal Highness the prince had completely offended the dragon king, and he kept praying in his heart that the prince would quickly admit his mistake to the dragon king, so that the dragon king might be able to let the prince go, otherwise he was really worried that the prince would suffer more.

After a long while, Long Teng turned around and walked in the direction of the dragon chair, exuding cold air all over his body and said, "Come on, pull the prince down and beat him with a rod of two hundred, and put him in a water prison, without the order of this king, no one is allowed to peep, and those who violate the order will not be killed." ”

When Prime Minister Gui heard this, he hurriedly stood up from behind the prince, and hurriedly interceded for the prince, "The Dragon King is gracious, the Dragon King is gracious, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just young and ignorant, and I hope that the Dragon King will be gracious, don't imprison His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the water prison." ”

"Hmph." Long Teng snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Prime Minister Gui, his dark eyes were filled with killing intent, and said coldly, "Prime Minister Gui, the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become what he is today is that you also have a responsibility that you can't shirk. ”

"Yes, Dragonlord." A few shrimp soldiers who walked in replied respectfully, and then took the turtle prime minister and Long Qi out together, the turtle prime minister originally wanted to intercede for the prince, but he didn't want to get in now, and finally had to accept all this punishment.

Outside the hall, Long Qi saw that Prime Minister Gui was affected because of himself, and a touch of apology crossed his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Prime Minister Gui, it's this prince who has affected you." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, all of this is the old slave's own fault, and it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince, please don't blame yourself." Prime Minister Gui Cheng said with a smile on his face.

Long Qi smiled sarcastically, he suddenly felt that he was so incompetent now, if he had mastered the power and everything in the Dragon Palace, then all this would not have happened now.

In the hall, Long Teng had been sitting on the dragon chair and waiting, and half an hour later, a shrimp soldier walked in from outside the hall, knelt down and said, "See the dragon king for the little one." ”

"Get up." Long Teng waved his sleeves.

"How's it going out there?"

"Back to the Dragon King, Prime Minister Turtle couldn't bear the cane punishment and had already fainted." The shrimp soldier said with his head down.

Long Teng frowned, a trace of worry crossed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "What about the prince?" ”

"The prince is still being tortured." The shrimp soldier replied with an old and a solid voice.

Long Teng's eyes were full of anger, and he said unhappily, "Since the prince is still being tortured, then you can wake up the old turtle with cold water and continue to beat this king's staff, the hundred rods must be beaten to this king's staff, if you miss one rod, this king will let people beat you with a hundred rods." ”

The shrimp soldier trembled with fright from Long Teng's cold tone, nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Dragon King." ”

"Then you go out first." Long Teng waved his sleeves and said, his tone full of impatience.

The shrimp soldier who was kneeling on the ground stood with his head hung and said respectfully, "Yes, Dragon King." ”

Then the shrimp soldier stood up from the ground, turned around and retreated, and after the shrimp soldier went out, Long Teng could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and directly threw the teacup on the table in the center of the hall.

The maids waiting on both sides of the main hall were startled by Long Teng's sudden anger, and then hurried to the center of the main hall to clean up the broken teacup and the remnants.

Outside the hall, Long Qi saw that Prime Minister Gui was woken up with cold water and continued to be beaten with a cane, his eyes were full of displeasure, and Leng Shui said, "Stop, didn't you see that he had fainted?" Why are executions still being carried out? ”

The shrimp soldier's eyes flashed with a look of embarrassment, and he said helplessly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the order of the Dragon King, and the little ones dare not disobey, otherwise the lives of the little ones and others will be in jeopardy, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to understand." ”

After speaking, the shrimp soldier continued to beat the turtle prime minister with a cane, and the turtle prime minister who had fainted was woken up by the cane torture again, only to see that the turtle shell was stained with blood, if it was beaten, I am afraid that the turtle shell would have to break.

Seeing Prime Minister Gui like this, Long Qi ignored his own injuries and spoke up again, "Stop." ”

The shrimp soldier who was beating the turtle prime minister with a staff was really frightened by Long Qi's voice, and pleaded with a face, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please don't embarrass the little ones, the little ones are also acting on orders, and they are also forced to do this, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince you stop you like this, the Dragon King will ask after a while, and the lives of such small people will not be guaranteed." ”

Long Qi knew that they were also forced to do so, but seeing that Prime Minister Turtle had been beaten unconscious by this cane, he was really guilty in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "How many rods does Prime Minister Turtle have next?" ”

The shrimp soldier was stunned for a moment, and said honestly, "Prince Qiyu, Prime Minister Turtle still has thirty-five rods." ”

"In that case, then let the remaining thirty-five rods be borne by Prince Ben for him, and you should quickly take him to the water prison." Long Qi said with a non-negotiable look.

The shrimp soldier was stunned for a moment when he heard him say this, and he didn't know what to do for a while, this fight is not, not to fight, Long Qi saw that the shrimp soldier was still not moving, and he was still standing there stunned, and couldn't help but say something.

"What? Didn't you hear what the prince was saying? Need this to be repeated for you? ”

The shrimp soldier came back to his senses, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, His Royal Highness the Prince, it's just that if this matter is over... ”

Before the shrimp soldier could say the next words, he was quickly interrupted by Long Qi, "Don't worry, even if my father knows about this matter, it has nothing to do with you, you just do what this prince says." ”

A look of embarrassment flashed on the shrimp soldier's face, and he glanced at the turtle prime minister who was covered in blood, and finally obeyed Long Qi's arrangement and took the turtle prime minister down. (To be continued.) )
