Chapter 267: Wuxian is put in a cage
The next day, when Jiang Zuiyao got up, she found that Wuxian's room was empty, at first, she thought that Wuxian was going out to run errands, but in the evening, she had not found any trace of Wuxian, and she was a little panicked.
I searched all the places in the palace that could be found, but there was no trace of Wuxian, could it be said that Wuxian threw her down and left by herself?
This made her a little flustered, until she returned to the residence again and saw Su Su, who was wandering in front of her door, and when she saw Jiang Zuiyao coming back, she stepped forward and said, "Where is the girl?" It's time for dinner, so I'll be able to find it. ”
In the huge mansion, there were not a few people to be found, Jiang Zuiyao saw Su Su and asked, "Su Su, can you see Wuxian?" I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find anyone. ”
These words made Su Su's face tense, and he said, "That friend of yours was locked up by His Highness." ”
Jiang Zuiyao was immediately puzzled: "Why? ”
"I don't know the specifics, I just know that it angered His Highness, and His Highness locked people up." , Su Su's words made Jiang Zuiyao unable to figure it out, originally he was fine before going to bed yesterday, but after only one night, why was Wuxian locked up by Prince Gong? What happened that night?
It seems that he can only ask Wuxian in person.
In this way, Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly asked, "Does the girl know where she is being held?" Can you take me to him? ”
Su Su looked at the sky that was about to get dark, and said, "Girl, let's eat first, after eating, I'll take you there." ”
Where do you still have the heart to eat now, Jiang Zuiyao replied unwaitingly: "Girl, take me to see him first, I'm not hungry." ”
Su Su saw that Jiang Zuiyao insisted on this, so he had no choice but to lead the way in front.
Following Su Su and walking to the deepest part of the palace, Jiang Zuiyao found that there was a tower in this palace, the tower seemed to have been shelved for a long time, the walls were spread with vines, and the surroundings were desolate, and they had not been cleaned for a long time.
Walking to the tower door, it was a dilapidated iron door, which was already rusty and mottled, Su Su took out a bunch of keys from his waist and opened the iron door, because of the rust, it took a lot of strength to push it open.
When he entered, it was dark inside, Su Su found a torch in the tower and lit it, and said to Jiang Zuiyao: "Girl, the stairs here are very steep, you must pay attention to your step." ”
The inside of the tower is circular, and the spiraling staircase is indeed very steep, Jiang Zuiyao has to carefully hold on to the wall and go up, walking about four or five times, and finally sees an entrance, Su Su walked in.
Jiang Zuiyao looked up, the stairs had not yet reached the end, and the stairs were spreading upward, not knowing what else was on it.
Following behind Su Su, in the dim light, he finally saw Wuxian.
He was actually locked in an iron cage, which surprised Jiang Zuiyao, and hurriedly shouted: "Wuxian! ”
When Wuxian saw someone calling him, he also looked over unexpectedly, and when he saw Jiang Zuiyao, he exclaimed, "Why are you here?" ”
Su Su handed the torch in his hand to Jiang Zuiyao and said, "The girl has something to say quickly, if Prince Gong finds out, he will be angry." ”
"Thank you, girl." , Jiang Zuiyao thanked and took the torch, and Su Su left.
Standing outside the cage, seeing that Wuxian was safe and sound, just locked in the cage, Jiang Zuiyao asked suspiciously, "Why are you locked up?" ”
Wuxian's face sank, and he replied, "I went to Prince Gong's study last night and was discovered by him. ”
Jiang Zuiyao was even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What did you do in Prince Gong's study?" ”
"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to read a document, who knew that there was a mechanism in the study, and I was found by Prince Gong, so he locked me here."
"Clerical? What instruments? Did Shao Ziqing ask you to see it? ”
Wuxian nodded: "A document deposing the crown prince." ”
??
"Prince? Do you mean that Prince Gong was once the crown prince? Jiang Zuiyao asked guessingly.
Wuxian nodded: "That's right, Prince Gong was originally the crown prince, but he was later deposed, and Shao Ziqing asked me to find this document and steal it." ”
"You're too reckless, you have to discuss it with me, how can you offend the action?"
"Now I also feel that I have been hasty, thinking that this palace is lax, so I take it lightly."
At the moment, these are not the most important things, what matters is how to save Wuxian out. Firelight looked closer to the cage, and the iron cage was rusty, only the locked iron lock was brand new.
Jiang Zuiyao knew that according to Wuxian's kung fu, such an iron cage would not be able to hold him, but he did not choose to resist, so he asked, "Why don't you escape?" ”
Wuxian shook his head: "I can't resist, if I anger Prince Gong because of this, he will definitely turn against Shao Ziqing, our plan will fail, and he has no intention of killing me, just imprisoning me here and waiting for Shao Ziqing to come." ”
Jiang Zuiyao was anxious all of a sudden: "When will Shao Ziqing come?" ”
Wuxian shook his head again: "I don't know." ”
Jiang Zuiyao was speechless for a moment, in this situation, if Shao Ziqing didn't come, Prince Gong would not cooperate at all, so Shao Ziqing was very important.
How should I call Shao Ziqing?
While Jiang Zuiyao was pondering, a voice suddenly came from the darkness: "Who let you in?" ”
Hearing the sound, there was a black shadow standing in the darkness, and it was pitch black and couldn't be seen clearly, but it was a little scary.
Jiang Zuiyao raised the torch and saw that it was Prince Gong.
She hurriedly walked over and explained vigorously: "His Royal Highness Prince Gong, Wuxian accidentally offended you, but there is no malice. ”
"Accidentally? Hmph, sneaking into my study late at night, was it accidental? Prince Gong was very dissatisfied with Jiang Zuiyao's words, and said, "Shao Ziqing only sent the two of you to send me, what does it mean?" Since you want to work with me, you don't have the slightest sincerity! ”
Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly said: "Shao Ziqing just has something important and can't get away, Prince Gong waits, he will come eventually?" ”
"When will it finally come? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? This month or next month? One year or two years? ”
"It won't be that long, it should be soon."
"I want an exact date, an affirmative answer."
Jiang Zuiyao naturally couldn't answer, and after looking at Wuxian in the cage, Jiang Zuiyao made a bold decision. tightened the torch in his hand and said, "Your Highness means, if you don't see Shao Ziqing, you won't let go of Wuxian?" ”
Prince Gong replied firmly: "Yes, I have nothing to say to you. ”
Jiang Zuiyao's heart was crossed, and a sentence came out: "In this case, then His Highness will also lock me in!" ”
