When Xia Zhiyi went to the palace prison again this time, he did not publicize it, but went very secretly and carefully.

When she stepped into the gloomy cell again, she was clearly much more accustomed to it than she had been last time.

There were not many prisoners in this cell, and there were only a few of them, and they were also sitting in the cell in a low and gloomy manner, as if waiting for death to come, without a single struggle.

Xia Zhiyi's steps became a little heavy, she didn't know how to open her mouth when she saw Du Ruosheng for a while, and how Du Ruosheng would react when she knew, looking at these people, Xia Zhiyi couldn't help but be a little worried about Du Ruosheng.

When Du Ruosheng saw Xia Zhiyi again, he was a little surprised, and he had obviously explained, Xia Zhiyi would come again, indicating that something must have happened.

"Sister Zhiyi." Du Ruosheng called softly.

Xia Zhiyi slowly squatted down and approached Du Ruosheng.

"What's going on?" Du Ruosheng asked bluntly.

"The body of the little prince is gone, I'm afraid Xiaoyi you let you do it can't be done." Xia Zhiyi's tone revealed helplessness and worry.

Du Ruosheng smiled bitterly before he said again: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, how could Lu Lan give me this opportunity." ”

"Ruosheng, you don't have to worry, Xiaoyi informed the emperor about this, and the emperor said that he would find a way."

Xia Zhiyi was worried that Du Ruosheng would be worried, so he said busily.

"He? Will he trust me? Du Ruosheng said with a hint of sarcasm.

Xia Zhiyi noticed Du Ruosheng's strange appearance, reached out and held Du Ruosheng's hand, and called softly: "Ruosheng...."

Du Ruosheng knew that Xia Zhiyi was worried about her, shook his head, and said, "Sister Zhiyi, I'm fine, since that's the case, it's better to see what the emperor is going to do." ”

"But I'm worried about my aunt."

Xia Zhiyi was worried that before Yan Qinghan could figure out a way, Lu Lan would take the first step.

"Don't worry, if the emperor really wants to save me, he won't sit still."

For Du Ruosheng, the only way now may be to wait.

"By the way, Sister Zhiyi, I asked you to convey the words to Xiaoyi, did you tell him?" Du Ruosheng suddenly asked again.

"I said yes, but Xiaoyi didn't say anything." Xia Zhiyi nodded in response.

Hearing what Xia Zhiyi said, she was relieved, Xiaoyi has nothing to do now, it can only mean that the time has not come, and she is still in a hurry.

"Just let him know, Sister Zhiyi, since the emperor said that he would find a way, you don't want to come here again, I'm worried that it will attract Lu Lan's attention, don't worry, I'll be fine." Du Ruosheng instructed.

If Lu Lan knew that Xia Zhiyi sneaked into the prison to see her, she would definitely find a way to embarrass her, and Du Ruosheng didn't want to involve Xia Zhiyi.

"Ruosheng, don't worry, if your cousin doesn't help you, Xiaoyi and I will definitely find a way!" Xia Zhiyi said with a resolute face, very firm.

Looking at her appearance, Du Ruosheng couldn't help laughing, Xia Zhiyi's stubbornness is also the same as her sister, but they are all the same, which can make her worry less than anything.

Xia Zhiyi didn't stay too long this time, and left.

Compared with Du Ruosheng in prison, Luo Yu seemed to be more anxious and worried, "Niangniang, the queen mother does this, can the emperor allow it?" ”

Luo Yu's tone was filled with these reluctance and helplessness.

"The emperor won't, the Queen Mother is her biological mother after all, how can he not take care of the Queen Mother's face." Du Ruosheng said thoughtfully.

With the tense relationship between Yan Qinghan and Lu Lan for so many years, Yan Qinghan still respects Lu Lan so much, if he really tells him that hidden secret, how should he accept it, Du Ruosheng thought in his heart.

On the other side, after thinking about it for a long time, Yan Qinghan decided to go to Shoukang Palace, and she wanted to confront Lu Lan in person.

However, before he left Weiyang Palace, he saw a familiar figure.

Fang Lanzhi slowly walked in from outside the hall, and she also noticed Yan Qinghan's rather strange look when she saw her.

"Guifei, you didn't stay in the palace well, why did you come here?" Yan Qinghan asked in a solemn voice.

Fang Lanzhi stopped in front of Yan Qinghan, and stopped talking, Yan Qinghan could see that she seemed to want to tell herself something.

"Guifei, what's wrong with you?" Yan Qinghan was patient and asked again.

"Your Majesty." Fang Lanzhi called softly.

Then, he knelt on the ground with a "plop".

Yan Qinghan was a little surprised by his sudden move, took a step back, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

At this moment, Yan Qinghan thought that Fang Lanzhi was full of sadness about the death of the prince, so he also accommodated Fang Lanzhi everywhere, but when he saw Fang Lanzhi's move, Yan Qinghan had a bad premonition in his heart.

"The concubine knows what the emperor is looking for, and the concubine can help the emperor and rescue the queen." Chase the book

Originally, Fang Lanzhi wanted to use this matter to put Du Ruosheng to death, but after thinking about it, she knew that once Du Ruosheng died, Lu Lan would definitely not keep herself, so instead of this, it was better to take a gamble, and now as long as she can save her life, there is nothing more important for Fang Lanzhi, because she knows that she may not have a chance to turn the tables.

Sure enough, when Yan Qinghan heard her words, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and at that moment, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

He naturally knew what Fang Lanzhi meant, but he was also puzzled, how could Fang Lanzhi know about this.

"How do you know?" Yan Qinghan couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, if you can exempt your concubines from all their sins and allow your concubines to leave the palace, the concubines will be willing to help the emperor."

Fang Lanzhi's tone was more like a threat than a pleading, but Yan Qinghan couldn't care about these anymore, as long as Du Ruosheng could be rescued, other things didn't seem to be so important.

"Are you negotiating terms with me?" Yan Qinghan is testing Fang Lanzhi's bottom line.

"The concubine is just seeking a way to survive for herself." Fang Lanzhi said indifferently.

Fang Lanzhi's calm and calm appearance made Yan Qinghan a little rusty, this was Fang Lanzhi's rare reaction, it has never been Fang Lanzhi's style to be in danger.

What Yan Qinghan didn't know was that Fang Lanzhi's palms holding handkerchiefs were already full of sweat.

"Okay, I promise you, as long as you are willing to tell the whereabouts of the little prince."

Yan Qinghan pondered for a moment, but still responded.

"The body of the little prince is in the palace of the concubine at this moment." Fang Lanzhi said quietly.

"Where are you?" Yan Qing asked in a solemn voice.

"The body of the little prince was indeed taken away by the queen mother, and the concubine had already noticed it, so she sent someone to follow her early in the morning before bringing the body of the little prince back." Fang Lanzhi's voice, of course, did not have a trace of waves.

"Why are you.."

"Why help the Queen, right? Fang Lanzhi met Yan Qinghan's gaze and asked directly.

Yan Qinghan nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"Because if the concubine doesn't save the queen mother, the next one to die will be the concubine." Fang Lanzhi also did not hide it and said it directly.

Hearing Fang Lanzhi say this, Yan Qinghan had a little more interest in continuing to listen, in her opinion, Fang Lanzhi and Lu Lan were already in the same boat, and now that Fang Lanzhi said this, it was obvious that there was a disagreement between the two, and Fang Lanzhi did this just to protect herself.

"So you want me to save you?" Yan Qinghan asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, the concubine asked herself if she didn't feel sorry for you, and now that the concubine can help the emperor rescue the mother, why doesn't the emperor want to give the concubine a chance?" Yan Qinghan saw a hint of urgency and expectation in Fang Lanzhi's eyes.

"However, it is also because of your queen that you have become like this." Yan Qinghan said again.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are just for Mingzhe to protect themselves."

Yan Qinghan came closer, pinched Fang Lanzhi's chin, his eyes were full of coldness, and said solemnly: "I'll give you one last chance, finish this thing, leave here forever, don't let me see you again, if not, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

Fang Lanzhi looked at Yan Qinghan's cold eyes, and the little expectation of him in her heart was completely extinguished, maybe she should have understood from the beginning, it would never be possible between her and Yan Qinghan, this man's indifference was far deeper than she imagined.

It wasn't until Fang Lanzhi nodded that Yan Qinghan let go of his hand.

"Tell me, what did you and the Queen Mother plan for?"

Yan Qinghan's tone was cold, as if he had already seen through everything, and now he was just waiting for her to speak.

Fang Lanzhi was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "The little prince did die of a hidden disease, and the concubine also framed the queen mother for self-protection, and the poria powder was also given to him by the concubine after the death of the little prince under the order of the queen mother." ”

Hearing this, Yan Qinghan was not surprised, his reaction was more like everything was expected by him, he was very calm and calm, and he was silent all the time.

"The Queen Mother instructed you to do everything?" After a long time, Yan Qinghan blurted out such a sentence faintly.

Fang Lanzhi was stunned for a moment before she said again: "Yes." ”

In fact, for Yan Qinghan, what Fang Lanzhi said was true or false, and with his understanding of Lu Lan and Fang Lanzhi, without Lu Lanzhi's support, Fang Lanzhi would not have such courage, let alone such a strategy, there must be someone behind this to help, and now that their joint boat has capsized, Fang Lanzhi has made the wisest choice to do this, as she explained to protect herself.

It's just that, just like she did with her father at the beginning, she killed her relatives with righteousness, which is the same thing.

"I ask you one more question, if you have half a lie, I will kill you now." Yan Qing's cold gaze fell on Fang Lanzhi's body, making Fang Lanzhi shudder.

Fang Lanzhi lowered her head again, not daring to look at Yan Qinghan's gaze again.

"The prince you call is really my child?" Hearing Yan Qinghan's words, Fang Lanzhi's pupils dilated instantly, she shouldn't have expected Yan Qinghan to suspect this.

There was a trace of cowardice in her heart, if she told the truth, could Yan Qinghan let herself go? However, the current situation also clearly tells her that she can't live if she advances, and there may be a glimmer of life when she retreats.

Seeing Fang Lanzhi silent, Yan Qinghan's heart was somewhat decided.

"It's not."

And at the moment when Fang Lanzhi answered, Yan Qinghan's heart was like Chen Shi falling to the bottom of the lake, without any waves, dead and silent.
