CHAPTER XXIV

PS: The new book "Qianjun" is uploaded, please support it!

Xiao Fangzi lay bored in the dark dungeon, but what he was thinking about was the situation in the palace. It's not that he hasn't worried that his master will kill him, after all, he knows too many things, if there is a leak of one or a half, the people involved are not one or two, but the entire Qinjun Palace. Every time he saw the meal brought by the jailer, he had a feeling of the last meal, however, waking up from his dream again and again and seeing that he was still alive, he finally confirmed a fact. He still has value, and for any useful person, the master will never give it up easily.

"Father-in-law Fang?" There was another muffled voice outside the door, it should have been the jailer who had become acquainted. If he hadn't delivered medicine these days, his injuries wouldn't have healed so quickly.

"Come in, no one." Xiao Fangzi's voice was low and tired, even with Chen Lingcheng's kung fu protection, he couldn't bear it for so many days in a row. If it weren't for the fact that the jailers often brought in a lot of precious things, he would probably have wanted to be killed in one fell head, so as not to suffer in bits and pieces.

"Father-in-law Fang, the little one has brought you ginseng soup." An obscene figure appeared in the cell, "You make up for it, I heard that His Royal Highness the Seventh handed the emperor a fold, and when the emperor is angry, you can go out." ”

Xiao Fangzi smiled bitterly and took the porcelain cup, if it weren't for the hanging vitality of ginseng soup bird's nest and the like, how many days would he be able to survive with his thin body? His Royal Highness must have spent a lot of money, he raised his head and drank a bowl of ginseng soup cleanly, and licked his lips with satisfaction, "What other good things did you bring today?" ”

"Hey, hey!" The jailer laughed in a low voice, "Father-in-law Fang really met a good master, and there are other drinks and dishes left, by the way, there is also the white fungus soup made by the red concubine in the palace, you are really blessed!" "This jailer obviously has a deep relationship with the Qinjun Palace, so he is not shy about speaking, how can ordinary people dare to talk about the affairs of the heavenly family so unscrupulously. He carefully took out a porcelain jar from the food box and handed it over with a smile.

Xiao Fangzi was stunned for a moment, the woman who smiled smartly, the woman he had always called his sister, was still thinking about him at such a time. He held the jar of white fungus soup that was still hot, and tears quietly fell, but fortunately the prison was very dark, and the jailer did not find it. He scooped the sweet soup spoonful by spoonful, but he thought of the scene when he and Hongru first met, if it weren't for the inspiration of that day, maybe he would have died in that dark and narrow room.

"Father-in-law Fang, Lord Yuan has been ordered by the emperor, and there are people in the Internal Affairs Office who are watching you very closely, so I have to interrogate you every day." The jailer seemed to be thinking about how to speak, "Although the Internal Affairs Office is nominally under the control of the former lord, there are really a lot of people recommended by the princes and ministers here, and there are many people who are noisy, and it is easy to make trouble, so the former lord locked you in the lowest black cell." First, this is a single room, and there is no need to worry about someone murdering; The second is that it is not easy to be discovered, I heard that His Royal Highness the Seventh has taken care of it, and someone from the palace will come to visit within a few days, so that you can live and recuperate, and you must not despair. ”

Xiao Fangzi's eyes lit up when he heard it, someone in the palace came to visit, and there was no doubt that the person who came was Chen Lingcheng. This old fox's camouflage skills are also very clever, and besides, he is idle, and it is easy to enter and exit, if he comes, then he really doesn't have to worry too much. He quietly wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to the jailer categorically: "I have also been tired of taking care of my eldest brother these days, and a righteous person like you is really wronged to be a jailer here." If my little party can get away with it, I will definitely not forget your kindness. I also want you to tell His Highness and Lord Hara that I understand their hard work and will never cause them any trouble. ”

The jailer obviously didn't expect Xiao Fangzi to be so tough, and he also complimented himself between his words, he knew that this kid was a talkative person in front of the Seventh Prince, as long as he was willing to say two good words for himself, then wealth would be indispensable to himself. He resigned with a smile on his face, and waited for Xiao Fangzi to finish all the meals before cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Before leaving, he suddenly patted his head, "Look at the small one's memory, His Royal Highness the Seventh also asked the small one to bring you these secret gold creation medicines in the palace, I heard that the effect is excellent, and it only takes one day to make the knife heal, I think you can also use it, so the small one will be put aside first." He put down the medicine and hurried away.

Xiao Fangzi picked up the bottle of Jinchuang Medicine, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, although he was still young, he could still tell whether things were precious or not after all these years in the palace. The small porcelain vase in front of me is probably worth more than 100 gold when placed outside, but who knows that it can be used by a lowly eunuch of his own.

Since the day he chose to enter the palace, he knew that he had completely lost hope and dignity, but for the sake of his younger brother, he had to endure humiliation. It wasn't until he saw his younger brother's complete betrayal of his scholarly family that he realized the fact that the road ahead may not be as good as before. Since he chose to follow the boy who was close to his age, he had to go on unswervingly, for him and for himself.

Xiao Fangzi smiled to himself, he was already a big person, and he was still obsessed with the past, which was really hopeless. He gently unscrewed the cap of the golden medicine and carefully smeared it on the wound, hoping that the person who would be tortured tomorrow would be able to have lighter hands and feet, and he secretly thought to himself when he should take out something to fool around.

Feng Wuxian can be said to be very busy these days, while he has to care about the situation of Jiuqing's trial, he has to worry about Xiao Fangzi at all, and what is even more nerve-wracking is that Fang Yong finally knows the news of his brother's arrest, if Brother Lang hadn't come forward in time to temporarily restrain him, I'm afraid that this reckless kid would have come directly to the palace. Despite this, Feng Wuxian still had to step up his efforts to let Xiao Fangzi be tortured like this again, not to mention that others couldn't stand it at all, even if he couldn't help it. The silver tickets that Xiao Fangzi received were originally acquiesced by him, after all, Lu Simang was not his own person at that time, and collecting a little silver from him could only be regarded as pocket money for Xiao Fangzi, but he was poked out by Xiao Wuzi like this, but he couldn't admit it, and Xiao Fangzi could only top the cylinder.

"Your Highness, have you decided to let the old man go?" Chen Lingcheng grabbed a handful of his beard indiscriminately, "Or are you worried about his injury, so you pretended to be public and let the old man take a look at it for you?" There was a little cunning in Chen Lingcheng's smile, and there were some other complicated emotions in the middle.

"Say whatever you want." Feng Wuxian looked indifferent, "Since I have decided to keep Xiao Fangzi, I will do everything I can to do it." Anyway, in the years he has followed me, he has not done anything wrong, but has made contributions everywhere, and such talents are not easy to obtain. Look at that little fifth son, who also came out of the palace, he is filthy and despicable to the extreme, how can he compare to Xiao Fangzi, and he still wants to squeeze out others, what a fool's dream! ”

Feng Wuxian snorted coldly, and his heart was annoyed. After Xiao Wuzi was thrown down alone that day, he knew that he was responsible for the crime, and he didn't dare to leave after kneeling all night, if it wasn't for Fan Qingcheng's "kindness" to report, I'm afraid that no one would pay attention to him even if he died.

"Your Highness, although the little eunuch's behavior is despicable, the palace attendants have always been so intrigued, he just misunderstood His Highness's favor for Xiao Fangzi." Chen Lingcheng said with a straight face, "Since ancient times, emperors have despised eunuchs, and there is no second one like His Royal Highness's long-eyed royal family who is looking at Xiao Fangzi, so he naturally thinks that Xiao Fangzi is just a temporary favor." In fact, this kind of eunuch is feminine and deceitful, and the ancient emperors added severe punishment, which restrained it. As long as the emperor doesn't think that Xiao Fangzi is pampered and arrogant, and let that kid live, His Royal Highness can do whatever he wants to deal with Xiao Wuzi, and it is estimated that the emperor will have nothing to say. ”

"Old Chen is really a pearl of words." Feng Wuxian stared at the old man who had been silently accompanying him all this time, and his heart was filled with endless gratitude, "If it weren't for your constant reminders, I'm afraid the mistakes I made would have buried myself long ago." Although I never know why you have been helping me, and I don't know what kind of person you used to be, I will never forget that it was you who saved me when I was in the most crisis. ”

Chen Lingcheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, even he didn't know why he was so willing to help him. If it is for Hongru, then it is not at all, after all, there are so many people in the world who are smart and can be his daughter, and they can't take such a big risk for Hongru. Maybe it's just for a breath, he thought helplessly, just for the unfulfilled wish of the year, maybe there was Su Fen's tragic death, in short, he wanted to fulfill his wish through the wind without a trace, and he didn't do his best.

"Your Highness, don't pursue the identity of the old man, you will know one day." Chen Lingcheng's gaze was deep and distant, "Now is not the time to discuss these, His Royal Highness has anything to say to Xiao Fangzi, you might as well explain it first, that kid is usually heavy-minded, and the old man is afraid that it will be bad if he has something he can't think of." ”

"I don't have anything to bring, so I asked Chen Lao to tell Xiao Fangzi that Hongru hopes that he will live well. In addition, I will say what I told him, if I want to kill him, this king will not make so much effort, let him live and rest his body to endure the torture. Even if this king wants to kill him, it will never be now. Feng Wuxian changed his name as he spoke, and he had an awe-inspiring momentum, "Everything is up to Elder Chen, by the way, bring that medicine with you, maybe you can use it, that's the last method." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old man knows what to do." Chen Lingcheng smiled conceitedly, there was no precedent for failure in what he really wanted to do. "It's just that His Royal Highness the emperor has to put in some more effort, and in addition, the harem lady can also use it, according to the old man's opinion, I'm afraid not every lady is as smart as His Royal Highness's mother." Chen Lingcheng blinked.

Feng Wuxian only felt that his eyes were shining, and the sadness on his face swept away, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
