Chapter 998: Betrayal
He Xiao's body was covered with scars, and he was dressed in white prison clothes, all stained with blood, some of which were already blackened. Even on his face, there was clearly a mark of burning.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! ”
He Xiao looked at Chu Xuanye, his bloodshot eyes were filled with excitement and pain, he grabbed the iron bar of the cell with both hands, and slowly knelt down towards Chu Xuanye: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, it was Chu Xiao who hurt you!" ”
Looking at He Xiao, Chu Xuanye sighed.
Felt......
It would be too much for him to pretend.
"Yo, it's really a deep love between master and servant, it's a pity that our Highness Chu can't protect himself, who cares about you?" Outside the cell, a brightly dressed man gently swayed his fan.
"Tian Zhong! You still have a face! He Xiao stared at the nine men standing outside the cell.
These nine people are all former staff members of King Ye's Mansion!
However, in the end, they all betrayed their Highness!
Chu Xuanye also looked at the nine people, with a constant smile in his peach blossom eyes, but there was less cynicism on weekdays and a little more cold.
"I, Chu Xuanye, asked myself if I didn't treat you badly, why did you want to unite with the Xiao clan to trap me here?" There is no anger as everyone imagined, and there seems to be no complaints, just simple doubts.
The four people standing behind who lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Chu Xuanye stiffened, glanced at each other, and then knelt in front of Chu Xuanye.
"Your Highness, we are helpless!"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness!" Read it
"Your Highness, Xiao ...... They threaten their subordinates with their family members, and the subordinates really ......"
"Your Highness......"
Seeing the four people kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed, their faces full of pain and struggle, Chu Xuanye didn't say a word.
Forgive? Nature will not forgive. Even if there are extenuating circumstances. But they betrayed him anyway. If he didn't have the strength, he might have died at the hands of the Xiao family today because of their betrayal.
"Whew! What are you still pretending to be here, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve? Tian Zhong glanced at the four people kneeling on the ground, with disdain: "He is all locked up in this Xuantie dungeon, can he still turn over?" ”
The other few people who were standing heard Tian Zhong's words, and the worries in their hearts also disappeared completely, yes, Chu Xuanye is now in prison, and it is difficult to protect himself, how can there be a day to turn over?
"Chu Xuanye, you didn't expect that you would have today!" The other man looked at Chu Xuanye with a sneer, his eyes full of pride.
Chu Xuanye raised his eyebrows and squinted at him with peach blossom eyes: "The four of them are disloyal because of filial piety, how many of you are disloyal and unfilial, what are they for?" ”
Tian Zhong sneered: "Naturally, it is for the sake of thousands of miles of Pengcheng and soaring!" ”
"That's right! What prospects can you have with you? It's just a mere staff! The queen promised us that as long as we committed perjury, we would be promoted to the third rank! Become a true minister of the court! ”
"Besides, you don't know yet, do you? The queen has decreed that your crime will be revealed to the world, and in five days, you will be punished in front of the main gate of the palace! ”
"Your Highness, let's cherish the rest of your days in prison!"
Several staff members sneered and left.
A few kneeling people below him were still kowtowing their heads, as if this would make up for their mistakes.
Chu Xuanye was silent, but He Xiao was very irritable, and immediately said angrily: "Get out!" Our Highness is not dead yet, what is the knock? If you really feel guilty, you can rescue Your Highness! ”
