To say that the prince and Su Yan are called the prince and the courtier, in fact, the intimacy between the two is better than that of their own siblings, so when everyone saw that it was Gonggong Qian beside the prince, they knew that it must be the prince who had something to find Su Yan, so naturally they would no longer "pester" Su Yan without interest, and after saying hello to Gonggong Qian together, they dispersed.

After the others left, Su Yan turned around and nodded slightly to Father-in-law Qian and said, "Father-in-law Qian, let's go."

In the study of the East Palace, the prince was sitting at the table looking at something thoughtfully, and the sound of Su Yan entering the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Ayan, you're here." As he spoke, the prince casually pointed to the chair in front of him and motioned for him to sit casually, while the prince closed the letterhead in his hand, got up, walked around the desk, and sat next to Su Yan.

"Today, before going to the court, I said that I would come to the East Palace, why did I let Grandpa Qian come to me in person?"

"It's not like I saw those adults who don't often return to the court, and they chased you as soon as they went to the court, I'm afraid this congratulatory word will be said for half an hour."

"Yes, Your Highness is afraid that you will not be able to walk away, general, no, hurry up and send a servant to help you get out."

After that, Father-in-law Qian served hot tea to the two, and then led the little eunuchs serving in the house out.

"What's the matter, I just came in and saw that you were looking at something, the news that it was the eldest prince?" Su Yan knew that since the crown prince came back from the old mansion of the Ye Yang family, he was only thinking about his elder brother, the eldest prince Mo Yan.

On the one hand, the truth of the events has gradually surfaced, and the emperor's intentions are very obvious: Concubine Shu was unjustly killed, so now Dongling Yi no longer needs to keep all the secrets alone, on the other hand, just experienced life and death with his brother and parted again, Dongling Yi really needs to find someone to talk to, and Su Yan is the most suitable listener.

But after Mo Yan rescued him, he left quietly, no matter how many people the prince sent out to find him openly and secretly, this person seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news.

Dongling Yi sighed in frustration: "I still don't have any news from my brother, but in the past few years, I know my brother's experience and situation." ”

"Last time you mentioned that you found a reliable person to send the eldest prince to Fengcheng, he should have lived a stable and prosperous life as an adopted son in a wealthy merchant in Fengcheng all these years, right?"

"If it was according to my arrangement, it should indeed be so, but I didn't expect that on the way to Fengcheng, the rich merchant's carriage was robbed by mountain bandits, the rich merchant and the coachman were killed for desperate resistance, and my brother picked up his life because he was unconscious, and finally was sold to the West Dome by his teeth."

"The slave market in the Western Dome?" If it is said that the Dongzhao people who know much about the West Dome, Su Yan can be regarded as one, so when he mentioned Ren Yazi, he immediately remembered the darkest and lowest slave world in the West Dome.

The system of free slave trading in Dongzhao was abolished decades ago, and although the slaves of Dongzhao were slaves, they were all registered by the government. In the big cities and towns of the West Dome, there are many slave markets, most of these slaves were abducted or robbed and drugged, although their identities are unknown, but customers can choose to buy and sell with peace of mind. Generally, the buyers on this kind of slave black market will not be rich and noble eunuchs, they are all commoners or small merchants, trying to buy slaves without slavery at a bargain, and the women in the market are mostly selected to be maids and concubines in Qinglou or ordinary people, and men are mostly sold as coolies.

Su Yan knew this, so when he heard that the eldest prince was sold to the West Dome by the mountain bandits, he gasped. Although the eldest prince was not born in the Dongzhao Palace, he was born with a noble status, and he should have been sent to the rich family in Fengcheng, but he was robbed and became a slave, which is really unimaginable.

And the most painful and guilty in the face of this matter is the crown prince Dongling Yi, he sneered self-deprecatingly, "Heh, I thought I had helped my brother plan everything, and even in order to keep him safe, I never dared to mention my brother again, but in exchange for ten years of forbearance, my brother died in the dirtiest and darkest place in Hyun Yin City, and I was in this East Palace, listening to the mountain calling Chitose with peace of mind!" At the end, Tanglin Yi slammed his fist down the table, the teacup was shaken, and the hot tea inside spilled out.

This movement was so loud that Father-in-law Qian outside also heard it, and leaned outside the door to ask for instructions: "Your Royal Highness Master, do you need the old slave to come in and serve?" ”

Out of a state of control, Tanglin Yi scolded: "No one is allowed to come in!" ”

Seeing this, Su Yan hurriedly reassured Gonggong Qian outside: "Oh, I accidentally knocked over the teacup, it's okay, I'll clean it up." ”

Saying that, Su Yan got up and walked to Donglin Yi's side to make sure that he was not burned by the tea, and then pulled him to the side hall, "Ah Yi, you calm down, no one is quite in this matter, you concealed everything at the beginning and didn't ask about the situation of the eldest prince, but also to protect him, if you paid attention to the slightest, the eldest prince might have lost his life long ago, and now at least he is okay or, you are also reunited, isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Tanglin calmed down a little, and he sat down on the chair dejectedly, "But as soon as I think of my brother living in a place like Qisha Street all these years, I feel so painful that I can't help myself." ”

"What, you said Seven Brakes?" Hearing the word "Seven Brakes", Su Yan raised his head in surprise and looked at Dongling Yi, as if waiting for him to confirm again.

Faced with Su Yan's overly surprised reaction, Dongling Yi was a little strange: "Yes, it's Qicha, you should know that place, what?" ”

Su Yan shook his head, "No, it's nothing, it's just that the place of the Seven Moments is where the weak eat the strong, poverty and tyranny coexist, and there is no order at all, thinking that the eldest prince is there, I really can't bear to ...... it"

"Yes, I really don't know how much pain and humiliation my brother has suffered over the years."

"So what has the eldest prince made a living in Qisha all these years? What was his name when he was in the West Dome? ”

"The news I found out only knows that my brother was sold into Qisha and then sold many times, as for what he has done and what he has made a living over the years, I don't know, but to survive in a place like Qisha Street, it is all some work that is not visible or on the tip of the knife."

"So ......" Su Yan seemed to be still thinking about something: "So has the eldest prince been in Qicha all these years?" Have you gone anywhere else? ”
