Chapter 169: On the eve of the beheading
Su Cimo wanted to laugh in his heart.
"Useless man, Prince! Haven't you seen the wolf ambition of the Seven Princes!? He does not surrender to you, and even takes advantage of your injuries to harm the Third Highness, which you should know. Su Cimo said.
"That's it!? It's not worth talking to this palace about conditions. The prince continued.
Su Cimo was so anxious that he wanted to spit out the fragrance, but he still held back.
"Prince, you have a chronic poison, it is difficult to find an antidote in this world, if we don't find out, I'm afraid you are still living in the trap of the Seven Princes! Can't you even see that? Su Cimo looked at the prince with a worried expression.
Only then did the prince admit that he was indeed placed by the Seventh Prince, and he didn't find out that he was discovered by Prime Minister Su and them.
"Hmph, is what you say reliable?" The prince's tone revealed distrust.
"The Seventh Prince's move is called wanting to capture the old man, he deliberately took the third prince who was in the way to borrow your hand to shovel it first, so that he could have a real battle with you in the future, the prince, you have now been hit by his chronic poison, and this matter is still investigated by the people of the third prince. If we don't say that you are not the same as he holds in his hands. Su Cimo said, meaning that he still wanted the prince to know the powerful relationship between this.
The prince was slightly angry, and when he heard the words that did not surrender to him, the prince couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
But thinking that Prime Minister Su Cheng might be the only one who told the truth to himself, he suppressed the anger in his heart again.
The prince always felt that Prime Minister Su Cheng was not as quiet as before, as if he was a little more cunning, so he was stunned and pondered the truth of his words.
Su Cimo looked at the prince with a silent look, and said in his heart that he was not worried about the rumor and the wisdom of the third prince Tuoba Heng, if he used Tuoba Heng's intelligence and the extra 100,000 elite soldiers, it is estimated that the prince himself will become very tricky, and Tuoba Heng will become the third contender for the throne in addition to him and the seven princes.
"If you think about it, now that the Seventh Prince's hand can reach under your nose, it's obvious how powerful he is. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I really feel worried for you, why don't you save the third prince and let him start a fight with the seventh prince? First, the Seven Princes will reduce their attention to you, and second, the sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, I believe you should understand this truth. Su Cimo has already said everything he can say, if the prince is still so hesitant, it is estimated that he will be impatient.
"Your purpose! Is it to save the palace, or to help the three princes? The prince asked suddenly.
"I mentioned this just now, the third prince is kind to me, I just want to repay him a bit of friendship." Su Cimo said without a red heart and without a beat.
"If the prince doesn't believe it, then I'll leave." Su Cimo saw that the prince hesitated, grabbed the medicine bag on the table and was about to go out.
When the prince heard this, he was immediately displeased, and grabbed Su Cimo's hand that grabbed the medicine bag.
"Okay, I'll just promise you."
Now even Prime Minister Su has thrown an olive branch to himself, what else is not easy to solve, as long as he helps save the third child this time, maybe the third child will come back to thank him another day, unlike that old seven, the wolf-hearted guy actually hurts people secretly behind his back, what a villain.
The crown prince was ashamed in his heart for a while, and immediately he made a decision to help Prime Minister Su Cheng help him rescue the third prince tomorrow.
Besides, Tuoba Heng was originally an outcast in the eyes of his father, so he didn't need to be so careful. Saving him will only have good things and no bad things for the crown prince, one is that Tuoba Heng can no longer show people openly when he is rescued, he can use his wings to manipulate the Seven Princes in secret, and the two of them together must be better than him alone. Second, Tuoba Heng will definitely be with him heartily in order to repay the grace of saving his life, so it is estimated that the matter of 100,000 elite soldiers will not be difficult to get out of his mouth.
The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good deal, so he said to Su Cimo: "Okay, I agree to your conditions, but you have to guarantee that Tuoba Heng will listen to my instructions and serve me after he is released from prison." ”
Su Cimo sneered unconsciously when he heard the prince's conditions, and he really took himself as the king, and he could mention any conditions.
But Su Cimo thought about it again, he may not know the preciousness of this antidote in his hand, in order to conceal it, Su Cimo deliberately asked someone to grind the antidote into powder for him to drink, it is impossible for him to know the ingredients of the antidote, if he wants to find it, it will take a lot of effort, and I don't know if the prince's body can last until that time.
But in order to save Tuoba Heng, Su Cimo can only nod and agree at present.
"Okay, I agree to your conditions, as long as you can rescue Tuoba Heng, everything is negotiable." Su Cimo said coldly.
In order to learn to speak like a man, she has been exercising for a long time to achieve so much results.
The crown prince happily agreed, and then the two discussed for a while how to save the third prince Tuoba Heng tomorrow. Then the prince ordered the guards at the gate to send Su Cimo out of the house.
Sitting in the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Cimo had time to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
Early the next morning, Tuoba Heng slept in his clothes all night, because of the rain, the dungeon was very cold, Tuoba Heng had already been frozen unconscious, but in the mouths of those guards, he also heard that today was the day he was going to be executed on the street.
Tuoba Heng doesn't think about anything now, but for some reason, Su Cimo's smiling face still appears in his mind, which looks very cute and yearning.
I wonder how he's doing now? Will you run around for your own business.
Tuoba Heng didn't want to ask about his father's thoughts about him, and he didn't want to care.
In this life, his father gave him such a fate, and he took it like this, and Tuoba Heng felt that it was not so uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a person came to the door of the cell, the man was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, his body was long and graceful, and his eyes leaked a playful smile when he looked at Tuoba Heng in the cell.
The guards in the cell opened the door to him, and the Seven Princes strode in.
Tuoba Heng nestled in the corner, but his eyes raised slightly to look at him, but he didn't react.
The Seventh Prince was angry, and he thought of coming over and kicking Tuoba Heng, but he thought of the purpose of this trip, so he immediately dispelled this idea.
The Seventh Prince squatted in front of Tuoba Heng, and then ripped his pale face with his eyes.
"Tuoba Heng, do you still recognize who I am!?" The Seventh Prince said in an arrogant tone, and then reached out and twisted Tuoba Heng's eyes that ignored him.
Tuoba Heng was caught in the face by him, and looked at the man in front of him with a very awkward expression, now he is very weak and powerless, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't eat anything because of the cold, he didn't have the strength to fight with him, otherwise he really picked up his fist and hit the Seventh Prince in front of him.
Seeing Tuoba Heng's fierce eyes glaring at him, the Seventh Prince was so angry that he almost wanted to eat him.
"Come on, I don't have time to spend it with you! Where the hell are your 100,000 elite soldiers hiding!? Now there is still time. There was a hint of anxiety in the Seventh Prince's tone, because in another hour, Tuoba Heng would be sent to the vegetable market for execution.
Tuoba Heng smiled, but still refused to speak, as if it was a waste of vitality for him to speak at this time.
Seeing Tuoba Heng ignoring him again, the Seventh Prince was so angry that he directly pulled Tuoba Heng up from the ground, grabbed him by the collar, and then let his eyes stare at his face.
"Tuoba Heng! You still have a little time to get revenge! You should know that the man who killed you was the crown prince, and he wanted to kill you, because you had 100,000 elite soldiers, and he was afraid of you, so he regarded you as an enemy. The Seventh Prince's voice was lowered, and then he whispered in front of Tuoba Heng.
"So what!?" Tuoba Heng didn't know what the Seventh Prince meant by saying this at this time, but he was happy to catch a glimpse of the two brothers killing each other, so he replied to him so that he could continue.
"So you'd better give me all 100,000 elite soldiers! Brother, I will help you kill the crown prince and avenge you! "The Seventh Prince said that when he was killed, he couldn't wait to grit his teeth.
Tuoba Heng scoffed at his words, and then he replied very boringly: "I don't know what you mean by 100,000 elite soldiers!" It's really a disappointment for you, seventh brother. ”
When the Seventh Prince saw the indifference on his face, he suddenly became angry, he pushed Tuoba Heng to the ground and said, "You damn Tuoba Heng, if you don't say believe it today, I'll cut your tongue off!?"
"Hahaha, I'm going to cut you!" Tuoba Heng said angrily, provocatively with a chuckle.
The Seven Princes clenched their teeth and looked angry, and suddenly came over and reached out to break Ba Heng's mouth, but no matter how hard he tried, Tuoba Heng's teeth were so hard that he couldn't open them.
The Seventh Prince was about to get angry, and the guards behind him really couldn't stand it anymore, so they hurriedly came up to stop the dispute between the Seven Princes and Tuoba Heng.
"Uncle! Don't continue to push him, if there is any mistake before the execution, the little ones can't tell the emperor! Please don't be angry. The guards begged for mercy and stopped the angry Seven Princes.
At this time, another guard outside the cell came over with a wooden tribute plate, he walked to the door of Tuoba Heng's cell, carefully unlocked the cell door, and then handed the tray in.
"Tuoba Heng! Time to eat! After eating this full meal, let's hit the road! The guard said this with a chuckle on his face, glanced at the three men in the cell, and left.
Tuoba Heng looked at the tray, and inside was a roast chicken, which looked very delicious, as well as a plate of fried meat and a bowl of soup and rice, which looked very delicious.
After the seventh prince lost his temper, he turned around and prepared to leave the cell, he thought that this Tuoba Heng had such a hard mouth, and he would definitely not tell the prince the news.
