Click, this is the sound of the iron lock being opened.

Then, there was the sound of heavy iron doors being pushed open.

The four princes lying on the bed didn't even open their eyes.

On the same day, he was slashed off his right wrist by He Qi, and then bled profusely. Nearly died. Later, he was kept in prison, often suffering from fever and illness, and no one took good care of him. To be able to live to this day is a great fate.

Sometimes, he wonders, why is he not dead?

He just dragged on and on day by day, waiting for the time of death.

The eldest prince is no better than the fourth prince.

This kind of dark prison life can easily drive people crazy. In addition to the steamed buns and clear water three times a day, it is a long period of silence.

He even wished that someone would interrogate him, or that someone would send him a cup of poisoned wine.

At first, the two brothers scolded and shouted at each other, or angrily accused each other. Later, they didn't even bother to scold each other. They often don't open their mouths all day long, ignoring each other.

The iron door opened, and there was a sound of footsteps.

The eldest prince opened his eyes and sat up from the narrow couch.

He had a messy head of hair and a long beard on his face. Clothes that do not show color emit rancid smells and smells.

The eldest prince's eyes were full of ridicule: "Zhu Qijue, why are you here again today?" Do you want to see if I'm dead? Unfortunately, I am still alive and well, neither starving to death nor committing suicide. You go back to Yuanchen and say that I am waiting for him to take my life! ”

The fourth prince also slowly moved his body and got out of bed.

Both he and the eldest prince were bound by heavy chains, and their hands and legs were chained. The range of motion does not exceed three meters. At the slightest movement, the chains rattled.

The fourth prince's right wrist was empty, his face was terrifyingly thin, and he looked at Zhu Qijue with a pair of eyes: "You go and ask Xiaoliu, whether you are dead or alive give me a good time!" ”

Zhu Qijue swallowed a sigh in his throat and opened his mouth to say, "I am ordered by the emperor to come to announce the decree. Kneel down and listen to the commandment, both of you. ”

As if he had heard some funny joke, the eldest prince raised his head and laughed: "If you want to kill, you can kill, if you want to chop, you can chop." If you want me to kneel down and beg for mercy, it is impossible! ”

The hoarse and crazy laughter is very penetrating to hear.

Zhu Qijue is in charge of guarding the prison, and he will come to see it every few days. He was well aware of the situation of the eldest prince and the fourth prince. The four princes had no will to live and were bent on death. The eldest prince looked at death as if he were home, but in fact, he didn't have the courage to seek death. Otherwise, it wouldn't have survived to this day.

Zhu Qijue settled down, unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and read it out.

The eldest prince seemed to be full of care, but in fact, the whole person was trembling.

The four princes were like a dry well, their faces numb.

When he heard the words lifelong ban, the eldest prince and the four princes were all stunned. Soon, the fourth prince sneered: "Xiaoliu is still so soft-hearted. He didn't kill our brothers, but he wanted to spare our lives. Isn't he afraid that we will make a comeback in the future and rob him of the throne? ”

Zhu Qijue glanced at the four princes who were cut off and looked at them like lonely ghosts, and secretly complained in his heart.

Just like this ghost, it looks like a comeback, it's really a fool's dream. After entering the Zongren Mansion, don't even think about seeing a fly outside.

Looking at the eldest prince again, after a trembling, his legs collapsed to the ground, and then he began to cry.

The only death through the ages. No matter how righteous and awe-inspiring he is, he can't deceive himself. He didn't want to die at all, even if he was like an ant, he wanted to continue to live.

The four princes of the eldest prince were each emotionally excited, Zhu Qijue waited patiently for a moment, and then opened his mouth and said, "The emperor ordered me to send you to the Zongren Mansion today." Please come with me, two brothers! ”

Although he was demoted to a concubine, the blood relationship continued. Zhu Qijue didn't call His Royal Highness, but called his uncle instead, which is appropriate.

The fourth prince continued to sneer, and before he could say anything, Zhu Qijue had already stepped forward, grabbed his left wrist and walked out. The four princes involuntarily got out of the prison.

And the eldest prince was still paralyzed on the ground and wailing bitterly.

The fourth prince glanced at his brother with disdain, and snorted: "What do you say about the success of the king and the defeat of the king, life and death." It turned out to be a greedy thing for life and afraid of death! ”

The eldest prince was still immersed in the excitement of escaping death, and he didn't hear the disdainful taunts of the fourth prince at all.

Zhu Qijue made a look, and the two guards stepped forward, one left and one right, and "helped" the eldest prince up and walked out.

The fourth prince retracted his disgusted gaze and said to Zhu Qijue beside him: "Where is Yuanchen?" I want to see him! ”

Zhu Qijue finally couldn't help it, and said coldly: "The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and his status is precious, and no one can match him. Is it that you can see it if you want to? ”

The Fourth Prince: "......"

The eyes of the four princes spewed sparks.

Zhu Qijue was not afraid at all, and continued: "No matter whether you are humble or humble, just talk about what your brothers have done. He has been a killer to his own brother, a ruthless and ruthless person like you, why does the emperor want to see you? Won't you be given another chance to assassinate? ”

After scolding the four princes, Zhu Qijue walked out with a calm face.

Two guards stepped forward and "helped" the four princes to walk out. The four princes staggered forward, almost fell, and were very embarrassed. At the moment of walking out of the prison, the four princes closed their eyes vigorously.

He hadn't seen the sun in more than a year, and the sun was bright and bright, and it was so warm.

Compared to the cold and dark underground cells, the floor illuminated by the sun is like another world. What he thought was a withered and dried heart rippled with a hint of almost joy.

That's it, since Xiaoliu has left a way to live, he will live!

At that moment, a child's cry came to my ears.

The fourth prince turned his head and looked over.

Even the eldest prince, who had been crying for a long time, couldn't cry anymore and quickly turned his head to look at the children.

The eldest princess He, whose eyes were red and haggard, led a pair of children, and the two side concubines also led a child. The children are crying, and the princesses and side concubines are also crying.

Although they were both locked up in prison, they were never seen.

When the eldest prince suddenly saw his wife and children, his heart was like waves, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward, but he was firmly "supported" by two guards and couldn't move.

The children are almost no longer recognizable to their father. Only the eldest son, Brother Xun, still knew his father, moved his lips, and shouted his father. Soon remembered something, and changed his voice and called out to his father.

The eldest prince looked like crying and laughing, and his whole body trembled.

The fourth princess, who had lost a lot of weight, was holding her son in her arms, her eyes seemed to be sad and happy, the corners of her eyes were clean, and there was not a single tear.

Her tears have long since flowed.

For more than a year, the only thing she looked forward to was to be able to take her son out of the prison. Even if she died, she didn't want to die in the dark prison.

Fortunately, the new emperor was benevolent and left a way for them to live.
