Chapter 318: Confusing the Emperor

really wants to be good to him, why don't you give him a little power so far, don't let him participate in the affairs of the court, but let people go around to collect calligraphy and paintings for him, it seems that he is very spoiled, but in fact, he is afraid of him in his heart, and wants to raise him and divert his attention.

Since the emperor is so uneasy, the nine princes are naturally happy to cooperate with him, to be an indulgent landscape, and only know how to fight against those sour and rotten people to chant poems or paint idle princes, and every once in a while they have to drive the carriage out, just for the sake of having a delicious dish in the state next door, the image of a gentleman prince is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The emperor has been sending someone to follow him secretly, and after hearing the report of the secret guard, the emperor is finally satisfied. It's a shame that this younger brother has no ambitions, otherwise, he really wouldn't be willing to let him out like this.

However, the people on the side of the Nine Princes did not follow.

"Lord, what does Your Majesty mean by this, he gave you a house and a fief, but he was unwilling to let you participate in the government, and he didn't even give you a small official position, which is simply too deceitful." The right-hand man who has been following the prince said indignantly.

The Ninth Prince himself didn't care, he leisurely poured a glass of wine and took a sip gently, "I think it's very good, this king is not good at political affairs, and the royal brother's arrangement is exactly what I want." ”

The subordinate was anxious, and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, have you forgotten the purpose of your return, if you continue like this, when will you be able to rescue the rest of the princes." ”

Hearing this, the Nine Princes' eyes widened exaggeratedly, "What you said also makes sense. "It was a look of sudden realization.

The subordinates rushed to pull their hair, but he didn't know that the Nine Princes had already had a plan in their hearts. The emperor has not dispelled his guard now, if he is not like this, how can he make the emperor feel at ease?

And the disguise of the Nine Princes also succeeded in confusing the emperor, and just when he gradually let down his guard, the Nine Princes began to act.

In the prison, Chi Wan only came in for a few days, and she was tortured and quickly emaciated, not to mention the King of Chu, the whole person was only skinny and skinny.

But the three never gave up, as long as the emperor did not kill them for a day, they still had a chance to escape.

The prison was gloomy all year round, lit by a dim oil lamp, so it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night.

On this day, when several people were feeling drowsy, there was a sudden sound of talking outside.

The three of them were in their hearts at the same time, for fear that someone would torture them, but after listening carefully, they found out that it was the jailer who had been replaced.

"Congratulations, brother, this is a high promotion, don't forget your brother when you step on Huang Teng one day."

"Haha, thanks to my brother, but this prison is really not a place for people to stay, and I hope my brother can get out early."

The two exchanged a few words, and the jailer who had a very bad temper and treated the king of Chu a lot left. What came in was a thin middle-aged man, always weak, looking like he hadn't woken up.

Ji Wan was shocked in her heart, and she didn't think that this person would be much better than the original person.

However, what she didn't expect was that the day the new jailer came, their food improved, although it was not as good as the previous delicacies, but at least it was not a rancid meal, and the most important thing was that the other party would not be as rude as the original jailer, and directly slapped the food on the ground, but would hand the things in in a good voice, and then tell them that he would come over to collect the food after eating.

This kind of treatment is already very good in the prison. It's just that this person doesn't talk much, and he doesn't communicate with them much on weekdays, which makes the little hope that Chi Wan and Xie Yutang have re-raised suddenly shattered.

Perhaps, this is just a cell boss with a little conscience.

The other jailer didn't have such a good temper, and when he saw that the newcomer was so cautious, he couldn't help but laugh, "A few people who are about to report to the underworld, why should they be so good to them." ”

The newcomer said calmly, "They are the people that Your Majesty focuses on, if they accidentally die in prison, we can't explain to the emperor." ”

When the man thought about it, he seemed to be reasonable, and then he stopped caring about the jailer.

At this time, the Nine Princes were indulging in lust in the Qinglou, holding a beautiful woman, the two drank a glass of wine intimately, and the woman also fed the vegetables to the mouth of the Nine Princes, and the Nine Princes also ate it with a smile.

"Lord Wang, have another drink with the slave family?" The woman poured a glass of wine for the Ninth Prince, and her eyes were like silk.

The Ninth Prince smiled freely and touched the woman's delicate face, "Okay, come, continue." ”

drank until it was almost dark, and the Nine Princes fell asleep on the table drunk.

"This ......" The woman was a little embarrassed, the Nine Princes were drunk, did she wake people up, or did she put people on her bed?

To be honest, looking at the handsome and unparalleled face of the Nine Princes, the woman couldn't help but feel a little excited, if she could get in touch with the Nine Princes, then she might be able to leave here. Even if the Nine Princes don't want her, she won't lose.

Thinking of this, the woman brought the man into her room, and when the door was closed, she could no longer see inside.

Early the next morning, the Nine Princes opened their eyes and found themselves sleeping in a pink room, he sat up, rubbed his forehead, and said to the woman who came in, "Why is this king here?" ”

"Lord Wang, you forgot, you were drunk yesterday, and the slave family helped you to the bed to rest." The woman shyly covered her face with a fan.

The Nine Princes looked down at the clothes on his body that were not messy at all, knowing that nothing had happened, and it was also, but it was expected that the people here would not dare to do anything to him. Besides, what is the matter, and the guards, they won't care.

Thinking of this, the ninth prince got up, gave the woman a silver ticket, and got up directly to go home. The woman was secretly glad that she didn't move the Nine Princes last night, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. She took a huge amount of silver tickets and looked at them several times.

Before the ninth prince returned to the house, he was stopped by a father-in-law, and said flatteringly, "Lord, Your Majesty invites you to go to the palace." ”

"Father-in-law, can you let me go back and change my clothes?" The Ninth Prince hesitantly looked down at his wine-stained clothes.

"Naturally, the slave is waiting for you."

After the ninth prince changed his clothes, he looked refreshed, but in the end he was hangover, his face was still not very good, and because he was in a hurry, he didn't clean up properly, so that his body was filled with a strong smell of wine. You can smell it from afar.

As soon as the emperor saw him, he really frowned, "Ninth brother, where have you been, why does this smell of wine?" ”

The Ninth Prince sneered and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen drank more last night?" ”

"Really?" The emperor's eyes froze, noticing the unnatural look on the face of the Nine Princes, and thinking of the secret guard's report, what else did he not understand.

The emperor pretended to be unhappy and sank his face, "Ninth brother, did you go to those messy places?" You are the king, and you must be clean. ”

Hearing this, the Ninth Prince's face turned red, and he turned his head a little flustered, "Brother Huang, you also know the temperament of the minister, the ...... of the minister."

He took a deep breath and pouted his lips a little reluctantly, "If the imperial brother doesn't like it, the younger brother won't go in the future." ”

The emperor secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he wished that the Nine Princes would linger in that kind of place every day, if he really didn't go, he would have a headache, so he quickly changed the topic, "You, okay, you haven't had breakfast yet, just eat here with me." ”

After having dinner in the palace, the Ninth Prince went out of the palace and went home, and the guards followed him and asked puzzledly, "Lord Wang, why did Your Majesty call you into the palace so early?" ”

"Perhaps, it's to confirm if I've really become a squirrel." The Nine Princes sneered, and there was disdain in his tone. He, the imperial brother, is not very capable, but his suspicion is more serious than anyone else.

The guard was thoughtful, and only asked tentatively for a while, "So, you have been doing it on purpose for the past few days?" ”

"What do you think?" The Nine Princes glanced at him, and the guards suddenly realized. It turned out that his own prince deliberately pretended to be amorous, so that the emperor paid less attention to him, so that it would be convenient for the ninth prince to do anything.

That night, the emperor's men withdrew.

After the ninth prince heard about it, he just hooked the corners of his mouth, and did not say anything else. He had expected this result a long time ago, and it was not in vain for him to do this scene.

"What you asked you to check, how did you check?" The Nine Princes looked at the henchmen below, and their expressions still looked like they were on weekdays.

He privately asked people to check the affairs in the prison, and it would be even better if he could get in touch with Chi Wan and them.

The guards dutifully reported the news they had heard, "The situation is not very good, the conditions in the prison are very poor, there is not enough food and clothing, and they are easy to contract diseases, the King of Chu and General Xie are in a difficult situation." ”

The Nine Princes were silent for a long time, and then let out a long sigh.

In fact, he had already thought that the reason why the emperor didn't kill the King of Chu and them was just to torture them, so he categorically wouldn't let them have a good time.

It seems that I have to speed up the progress on my side.

The guard looked at the Ninth Prince's thoughtful expression and said nervously, "Prince, don't be impulsive. ”

He was afraid that the Ninth Prince would be impulsive and do something he regretted. They have to try to avoid the emperor now, after all, the emperor has been looking for their faults, but if the ninth prince takes a wrong step, the end will not be much better than that of the king of Chu.

"This king knows, I don't need you to remind me." The Ninth Prince glanced at him faintly.

Hearing this, the guards were not relieved, and still had a sad face.

Just when the Nine Princes were struggling to find a way, something happened to the King of Chu.

The reason was that the king of Chu was forced to drink the green water, and he vomited and diarrhea that night, and tossed all night, and when it was dawn, the whole person was already dying.

But the cell boss just took a look, and then left nonchalantly, muttering, "It's better to die, it's a burden to live anyway." ”
