Chapter 47: Doubts

Seeing that the prince was so respectful, Fang Yan was slightly stunned, and the joy in his eyes flashed, and he smiled:

"The prince is so polite, it's really a villain."

After speaking, he took a sip of the teacup, put it down, looked out the window, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, the prince couldn't help but shout loudly:

"Lord Fang! Master Fang, the army outside is searching, I don't dare to stay here for too long, you can do it, tell me what to do, in order to escape from this place! ”

Fang Yan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to the prince:

"Your Highness, have you thought about making a comeback?"

The prince smiled bitterly in a low voice, turned his gaze away, and looked out the window, where the blue sky was high, and there was a red sun that was about to erupt, shining on the moon all night, which had long since disappeared at this time, and could not see a little light from it:

"Is there a comeback? It's a luxury to even live now, where can I make a comeback? Master Fang laughed. ”

With that, the room fell silent again.

After a while, Fang Yan coughed lightly and spoke first:

"Your Highness."

The prince looked out the window and frowned, but finally he was not as anxious as he was at the beginning, and only nodded faintly.

"Things seem a little strange, just as our people were about to start that night, Liu Xiu and the emperor's army arrived, how could they come so timely and so well prepared?"

The prince's body shook suddenly, his face was gloomy, and he looked at Fang Yan, and a heavy shadow swept over his heart:

"You're saying I have a spy here?"

Fang Yan pondered for a moment, nodded and said:

"Yes, every time we want to act, there will be changes, and whether it is with the emperor or Liu Xiu, we have already prepared, but we were caught off guard, if it weren't for the secret passage in the prince's mansion where you can escape, you would have been arrested by the emperor a long time ago."

The prince snorted and sneered:

"The secret passage, it's really a loss of this secret passage, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand here with you now"

His words were interrupted suddenly, and he raised his head sharply, just in time to meet the gaze of the dialect that looked at him, and the eyes of both of them showed panic and palpitations at the same time, and the prince shouted:

"Not good!"

After finishing speaking, he got up immediately and stared out the window, there was still silence outside, there was no movement, only a few "loyal" soldiers were concentrating on guarding there, looking vigilant.

The Imperial Guards never passed through the area again, as if the Emperor had abandoned the area.

In the room, there was silence, and for a long time, the prince said abruptly:

"Lord Fang, are we too worried, or we will avoid these guards tonight and escape from Luojing and take refuge in Shu Kingdom while our father has not yet searched for it!"

Fang Yan frowned deeply, and after a long while, he shook his head and said:

"Your Highness, believe it or not, the emperor should know that we are here by now."

The muscles on the prince's face twitched, and he subconsciously turned his head to look out the window, and said in a low voice:

"Then why didn't he come and arrest us?"

Fang Yan shook his head after hearing this, glanced at the prince again, and did not speak again.

When the prince saw him like this, he was anxious and frightened, and he did not dare to call in the soldiers guarding the door and ask about the situation outside, so he had to blindly think about it, and his heart was like thousands of ants crawling by, and he was impatient.

At this moment, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and in this hut, he kept walking around, and his dialect was silent on the side, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The two of them spent their time like this, and the outside finally quieted down, and there was no longer the sound of the Foresters running around.

The prince's heart, which had been hanging, was finally put down temporarily, and the events of last night began to become clear in his mind little by little.

Launching the palace rebellion was a plan that had been set a long time ago, and almost all of the soldiers directly under the Imperial Forest Army and the Prince's Mansion that were originally arranged in Luojing City had been placed under their command, except for the soldiers of the new signs.

And after that, his step-by-step palace guards were replaced by his direct personal soldiers, so there was the feat of "successfully" assassinating the emperor.

But his father did not die, he was shocked in his heart, too many things happened that day, and he had no time to confirm whether the news of his father's death was accurate, he only remembered that after arranging the guards to assassinate the emperor, he went to the outside of the city to change the army to place Ouyang He, and then there was news that the emperor had been successfully assassinated, but that night there was a "palace gate blood mutiny", which prevented his next move.

As a result, the emperor did not die, he frowned, thinking nonsense, but he didn't figure out a clue for a long time, only one thing is certain, there must be a spy sent by his father on his side, otherwise these actions would not have been so completely defeated.

If so, who would that spy be? Since his father knew where he was, why didn't he arrest himself?

The prince couldn't figure it out, he let out a low wry smile and said:

"What the hell does Father mean?!"

He turned his head to look at Fang Yan and asked impatiently.

Fang Yan raised his head to meet the prince's gaze, and after a long time, he said:

"Prince, it's a good thing for you that the emperor doesn't come to arrest you."

After a pause, he added:

"Although I can't guess the emperor's holy will, but since the blood change at the palace gate, the emperor has always tolerated you without killing you, and I have a thought in my heart."

The prince said anxiously:

"What thoughts, you say!"

The dialect pondered for a while, and said:

"I think the emperor deliberately left a way for His Highness to live."

The crown prince glanced at him and sneered:

"I don't know why Lord Fang thinks so, he keeps me, does he still want me to inherit this great Han country?"

Fang Yan hesitated slightly, and said:

"I think that the emperor spared your life because of King Liu Xiu."

The prince's expression moved, and he said:

"Lord Fang, what do you mean?"

Dialect Dao:

"On the side of the emperor's couch, there is such a fierce tiger standing now, and the lion who can contain the tiger was almost killed by the tiger, and the emperor must not be able to sleep well for the past two days."

For the first time, the prince breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Lord Fang has a point."

Fang Yan also laughed and said:

"Your Highness, don't worry too much, having said that, it's hard to say whether the emperor means this, Liu Xiu is now the long-awaited candidate for the crown prince of the Han Empire, and he has merit, the Shadow Legion is in hand, and the emperor will not attack him lightly until the critical moment."

The prince sighed and said:

"I don't want to be the crown prince now, let alone Liu Xiu's life, I just want to keep this life and live well, that's enough."

The dialect said lightly:

"If the prince's words are heard by your own soldiers, I am afraid that the emperor will send someone to kill you immediately."

Standing behind Fang Yan, a trace of coolness passed through the prince's heart, cold sweat trickled down his face, he looked at Fang Yan and said in a low voice:

"Lord Fang, don't scare me!"

Fang Yan sneered:

"Your Highness, wake up, why do you think the emperor kept you? It's not because of the imperial power! What worries him most right now? It's not a question of his succession to the throne after a hundred years, but whether all the power is in his hands when he is alive! ”

He glanced at the prince, shook his head, and continued:

"What is the most important moment, when power and the throne are threatened! So Your Highness, the person who wants you to survive the most now is the emperor you want to harm again and again! He is worried that Liu Xiu will be the only one, the world will be in the heart, and his throne will be threatened, so you can rest assured, what we have to do is to secretly add fuel to the fire, and let the emperor know that you still have the strength to contain Liu Xiu, but after you have no ambition to rebel, your life will really be saved. ”

The prince patted his thigh after hearing this, he was excited, he looked at the fat dialect in front of him, the excitement could not be expressed, he took a deep breath, pulled himself back from the happy clouds, returned to this cruel reality, looked at the dialect, and said in a low voice:

"What do we do now?"

Fang Yan smiled and looked out the window, but did not answer.

Outside, a few personal soldiers brought back by the prince were patrolling back and forth at the door, but their eyes looked into the house from time to time.

Occasionally, there were a few figures, in the shade of the eaves, inadvertently blurred and crossed together, as if they were discussing something in a low voice.

The prince also noticed, and he suddenly became a little irritable.

This feeling of being betrayed by the guards even exceeded the fear of death in a certain way, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart what they were talking about.

Is it discussing the emperor's order not to kill him, or is he plotting to make up a lie to his father and the emperor to make him determined to kill him?

Fang Yan glanced at the prince, and suddenly said:

"What is Your Highness thinking?"

The prince, who was immersed in an atmosphere of panic and fear, was taken aback when he heard the voice of the tongue, and muttered:

"No, nothing."

Fang Yan smiled meaningfully, turned his eyes to look at the figures of the guards at the door outside the window, and said:

"Has Your Highness noticed, those pro-soldiers don't seem to be really guarding there, but more whispering."

The prince nodded and said:

"Yes, I noticed that just now, too."

Fang Yan's eyes were covered with a faint layer of joy, and the fat on his face trembled with excitement, so he shook the fat and said with a smile:

"From this point of view, my inference is still correct, His Royal Highness's personal soldiers are indeed the emperor's people, and his current wish, I am afraid that Your Highness, you can live well and have enough strength to contain Liu Xiu's role in the court. So that this tiger does not have enough energy to snatch power in the hands of the emperor. ”

The joy on the prince's face was revealed again.

Fang Yan smiled and looked at the busy figure outside the window, "Actually, isn't it just the emperor of the Han Kingdom who wants you to live?" ”

The dialect whispered.

The prince didn't hear clearly, but he could see that the dialect was not said to him, and he looked at the sky, and it was already dark.

Seeing this, Fang Yan smiled and said goodbye to the prince, who knew that Fang Yan was harmful and useless, and since he could come in unharmed, he naturally had the ability to get rid of the emperor's secret whistle, so he would not keep it.

But at the moment when Fang Yan was about to leave, the prince suddenly stopped him again.

"Lord Fang, you can do one thing for me."
