Ever since Chu He was imprisoned in the prison, he has been unusually silent and quiet.

Only on the day he was imprisoned, he had a few words with Zhao Ling and the others, and he never spoke afterwards, and even the head of the prison, Lao Wang, came to talk to him in person, but he didn't pay attention.

In the face of this taciturn master, the old king did not feel neglected, after all, the identity of the prince of Chu was there, as long as he obeyed the arrangement of His Royal Highness the prince and took care of this prince, he would be able to make a difference.

Therefore, when another night came, seeing Chu He standing alone with his back to the cell door under the small window where he could see the moonlight, the old king sighed softly, and walked along the long and damp corridor towards the outside of the prison.

It's just that when the old king had just walked out of the prison, there was a flower in front of him, and he saw a tall and straight figure appear in front of him; After looking at it, he immediately recognized the identity of this person, and the old king was just about to bow down and salute, when he was interrupted by a voice from the visitor: "How many days has Chu Shizi been here for a few days?" ”

The old king looked at the black cloak on his head, the cloak was so large that it almost covered most of his face, and if he didn't get close enough to see clearly, he wouldn't have recognized who it was.

At present, when I heard someone ask about the situation of Chu Shizi, the old king naturally knew everything, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the prince is not difficult to serve, except for being taciturn, there is no trouble at all." ”

"Who else has seen him these days?"

The old prince recalled carefully and said, "Except for the day when the Lord and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, no one else came to visit the prince; However, the crown princess was very worried about the situation of the prince, and asked people to bring clothes and food in many times, and the little one also knew that the identity of the prince of Chu was not ordinary, so he turned a blind eye and let the princess's people send things to the prince. ”

The person who came nodded and said, "That means, no one has come to see Chu Shizi these days, right?" ”

"No, although this Chu Shizi is a person with an unusual identity, he also made a mistake and was imprisoned here, and the identity of the person he killed is also very noble; Often at this time, it is the most visible to the people, and now Chu Shizi has poked the big basket, and before the matter is clear, no one dares to visit him at will. ”

"Okay, I know; The official has something to go to see him, and you are not allowed to talk about it to anyone about the incident of you bumping into the official here tonight, understand? ”

Hearing that this adult was going to visit Chu Shizi, the old king seemed a little hesitant.

When the visitor saw the old king's expression, he immediately became displeased: "What? Can't the official see him yet? ”

"No, my lord, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came yesterday to tell him, and no one could approach Chu Shizi at will without his order; Presumably, the crown prince was also worried that Chu Shizi would be in danger, after all, the trouble that His Royal Highness King Heng made that day was really memorable, isn't it. ”

The person who came didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the waist card he wore on his waist and showed it in front of the old king, and said coldly: "Seeing this, do you dare to stop this official?" ”

After all, the old king is an errand at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he can be regarded as having seen some markets; Seeing that the adult in front of him suddenly took out the royal gold medal of 'Ru I came in person', he was frightened on the spot, and while kneeling on the ground and shouting long live, he hurriedly made way for the master in front of him, who was not easy to provoke.

Seeing that this cell boss was still a good acquaintance, the person who came snorted coldly and withdrew his waist card, just as he was about to leave, thinking that he appeared here tonight and showed the royal gold medal, if this cell head was a loose mouth, it was very likely that he would be betrayed.

Thinking of this, the visitor had to look up and down the old king again, thinking about whether to leave this person behind.

Even if the old king was kneeling on the ground, he could feel two cold and piercing eyes staring at him, and at this moment, he was like a prey being targeted, and he would lose his life if he was not careful.

"Don't worry, the little ones won't say anything, the little ones haven't seen the adults tonight, and the adults haven't been here."

Looking at the cell boss who was still a little clever, a satisfied smile appeared on the face of the person who came: "You are also smart, you know that sometimes you will lose your life if you talk too much, since you know everything, then the official will not say much." ”

After speaking, the person who came walked through the cell head and went straight in the direction of the cell where Chu He was being held.

Chu He still kept standing in front of the small window, looking at the bright moonlight outside, as if he recalled something interesting, and his faintly pale face finally showed a little softness.

Seeing the corners of Chu He's lips slightly hooked, the person who came stood outside the cell, let the black cloak wrap himself tightly, and said, "It seems that the prince of the world is in a good mood, and he still has the heart to appreciate the moonlight." ”

Hearing the voice coming from behind him, Chu He was not too surprised, in fact, he had long expected that he would come to him, the only thing that surprised him was that these people were quite able to calm down, and they actually dragged on for a few days, and only now did they appear.

"In the past, when I was marching and fighting, I often had to eat and sleep in the open air, and the moonlight in Qingzhou was also very beautiful, but I didn't have time to appreciate it at that time; Now the most in this world is time, appreciate and appreciate the moonlight, pass the time, although the environment of this prison is a little worse, but live habitually, it is okay. ”

As he spoke, Chu He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and had a graceful attitude, looking at Chu He who was so comfortable and comfortable, as if this was not a terrifying prison, but a back garden for him to recuperate.

The visitor stared at Chu He's eyebrows, as if to examine his truest emotions, whether they were as relaxed and comfortable as they appeared.

"The prince is still so indifferent when he is in prison, do you really think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can save you from here?"

Seeing that this kid finally asked the main question, Chu He didn't talk to him here about sloppiness, and said: "Although this prince is very optimistic about the prince's ability, he also knows that this catastrophe of this prince is probably very difficult to pass now; Didn't you take advantage of the night to see this prince, just to make sure that this prince had told His Royal Highness the crown prince what you told him? Why, now that no one has approached this world these days, you are finally relieved, aren't you? ”

The man said: "I believe that the prince is a man of his word, and since he didn't reveal the true identity of the lower official in front of the prince, he will naturally continue to help him hide it." ”

Hearing these words, Chu He finally became angry, he looked at the person in front of him, the appreciation he once had for him was long gone at this moment, he was really blind before, almost commensurate with his brother, but he didn't expect that he was actually the dark line that Emperor Showa placed beside the prince.

If it hadn't happened suddenly that he entered the palace to assassinate Zhou Yanran, I'm afraid that all of them would have been deceived by him to this day, naively thinking that he was really a loyal and honest person.

Chu He sneered, looked at the person in front of him, and said, "If I were you, I would definitely feel very ashamed; It is often said that people who practice martial arts are simple-minded, and they value love and righteousness the most, and they can almost give up their lives for loyalty. But I didn't expect these words to be completely inextricable in you. Over the years, the prince has trusted you very much, and after he ascended to the position of prince, he has been even more gracious to you, if one day let the prince know that the most trusted subordinate he has raised by his side is actually a secret pile placed by others around him to watch his every move; At that time, what will you face the prince? And how do you explain his identity to him? ”

The hand hidden under the cloak clenched quietly, and he knew that he would definitely scoff at Chu He when he knew his true identity, but he never regretted his decision and actions.

"Chu Shizi thinks that he betrayed the prince in Xia?"

Chu He's eyes were cold and he said, "Isn't it?" ”

The man smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth hooked a playful arc, and said, "Shizi, you may have made a mistake in order; From the very beginning, the one who is truly loyal to me is the Son of Heaven; Over the years, the reason why His Majesty has faithfully stayed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's side is also to act on the orders of the emperor; It can be said that in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the first person who knew that the emperor would pass on the position of prince to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future. is guarding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, one is responsible for his personal safety, and the other is also a bridge of communication between the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince; Otherwise, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gain a firm foothold in the court so quickly after leaving the battlefield and returning to the court. ”

Chu He understood, and said: "It turns out that you are the eyes and mouth that the emperor put next to the prince, and many of the so-called news in the palace were deliberately told to the prince by the emperor through your mouth." ”

"Let's just say that the prince is a smart and transparent person, and he can understand it at all."

Listening to this compliment, Chu He couldn't be happy at all, he looked at the person in front of him who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "Right now, you have said so much to me, it seems that you came to see this world this time, not just to confirm whether I have poked out your true identity, let's say, what else do you have to do?!" ”

Looking at Chu He, who soon discovered the purpose of his trip, the person who came laughed softly, and the voice seemed to come from his chest, which sounded a little dull and even more depressing.

"Since the prince is a happy person, then he will not beat around the bush; Originally, His Majesty meant that as long as the prince could cooperate with our plan, for the sake of the old marquis's face, we would only let the prince suffer a little in the prison, and as soon as our goal was achieved, we would let the prince leave; But now, things have changed. ”

Speaking of this, the smile on the man's face also narrowed a little, and continued: "His Royal Highness the Prince's methods are really not to be underestimated, and he seems to have noticed something, so he has not seen anyone except Luo Cheng in the past two days; And that Luo Cheng is also very capable, and he actually made him find that Zhou Guifei's body is different from that of a normal person; Your Majesty knows that the real cause of Zhou Guifei's death is afraid that he can't hide it, so our agreement will also change a little; Chu Shizi, I want to wronged you to go first! ”

As soon as the words fell, a dart as thin as a cicada's wings shot straight towards Chu He's front door.
