Mrs. Zhuang Ji got up, slowly approached the white hosta that Gu Qiang planted for her, turned her back to Gu Beicheng, and said calmly: "In this world, it is difficult to fulfill your wishes in everything, the king should still put the world first, that child's private feelings are just passing away, don't be blinded by them." ”

It's not that Gu Beicheng really doesn't know what Mrs. Zhuang Ji did, but he doesn't want to delve into it, in the final analysis, it's all for Beili, for him, most of the time, he turns a blind eye.

Beili is the brainchild of the monarch's father, and it is the result of countless people's lives, which is why he is unwilling to disobey his mother in the face of important decisions.

Because he has personally experienced the suffering of Beili and witnessed the death of his father, he knows how difficult his mother has been along the way.

There are too many things that he needs to protect, and any one of them is an unbearable weight of life, and the innate mission can no longer accommodate his children's affection.

"Child, remember your mother's teachings." This word and sentence made Gu Beicheng more painful than the poison of the lover's tears, "The child wants to ask Miaoyin ...... her"

Mrs. Zhuang Ji turned around, walked past Gu Beicheng, and said lightly: "Lin Song's father and daughter, Cheng'er had better not interfere, if you don't want to see her die in front of your eyes, the king must believe that everything is the best arrangement." ”

On the corridor leading to the main hall of Mrs. Zhuang Ji's dormitory, the "click" sound made by the friction between the saber on Li Zhen's waist and the armor on his body was endless, and he trotted all the way, the red cloak behind him was slightly raised, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to the palace people's salute.

Halfway through, he met Gu Beicheng who was coming to him, "Li Zhen sees the king!" He stepped forward, Gu Beicheng stopped, Lin Song is Li Zhen's deputy general, so the imprisonment of Lin Song's father and daughter must also be related to him, Gu Beicheng looked into the distance, and asked with a cold face: "Why is General Li here?" ”

"Chen went to the school early this morning, I don't know what happened, how did I arrest Vice General Lin? Is it because of what happened last night? ”

As soon as he heard what happened last night, Gu Beicheng's gaze instantly moved to Li Zhen, "Last night? What's the matter? ”

"Didn't he get arrested because he pleaded guilty?" Li Zhen's whole person was blinded, he thought it was because of something last night, Lin Song himself came to ask for guilt, listening to Gu Beicheng's meaning, it seems that it has nothing to do with last night? Why is that?

Gu Beicheng's face softened a lot, it seemed that this Li Zhen, like him, was a person who realized it later, "If you are here to ask Mrs. for Lin Song, then you don't have to go, go back." ”

"What does the king mean by that?"

"It's not your business, and you can't do it, save it, so as not to go in and touch a gray nose and make Mrs. unhappy." Gu Beicheng said, walking in the direction of the prison.

Li Zhen stood in place, looked at Mrs. Zhuang Ji's bedroom, and thought about Gu Beicheng's words, forget it, the king said that, presumably this matter is not so simple, it is better not to have too many things, he did not move forward, turned around and left.

Gu Beicheng went to the prison alone, the outer wall of Beili's prison is towering, very solid, the surface is smooth and hard, the top position of the wall, there is a brick-sized vent every two or three meters, even a dog can't get in, there is only one way in and out, and you have to pass through the guards at the door.

The outer door of this prison is divided into two very heavy, each door is embedded with round nails the size of a tea bowl, which are usually tightly closed on weekdays, and there is a plaque with gold letters on a black background on the door, which reads the dungeon, and two guards with knives stand on each side of the door.

This place is mainly used to hold some more important and special prisoners, Gu Beicheng walked to the door and ordered: "Open the door." ”

The guards hurriedly opened the door for him, and entered through the door, which was criss-crossed, and the passages that extended in all directions were like a labyrinth, and there were mechanisms set up in each passage, if someone wanted to escape from prison, as long as they took a wrong step, they would die here immediately, and even if they were lucky enough to escape, without the guidance of the guards, they would be trapped here because they got lost.

These mechanisms are controlled by a general switch, which requires three keys to turn at the same time to close, while the mechanisms in the passage, which are always open on weekdays, need to be interrogated by prisoners, or when they need to enter and exit, they will be turned off by special people.

Seeing that Gu Beicheng was about to enter, one of the guards at the gate shouted: "The king is here, let him go!" Then he took down the lantern on the wall and walked to the front of Gu Beicheng, "Your Majesty, please!" You're worried about your feet. ”

"It's okay, here, although this king is here for the first time, the structure here is very familiar, and it is exactly the same as the picture drawn."

The guard said proudly: "I heard that this prison was designed by the first king, and it is the best prison in Beili. ”

Gu Beicheng followed the guards, passed from one passage to another, entered through one cave door, and came out from other cave doors, and then walked around and around for a long time, and finally came to an iron fence door, the guard took out the key and opened the lock on the door.

"Your Majesty, it's here." The guard looked at Beicheng and kept looking for it, and said with a smile: "The person the king is looking for, go in and go straight, turn right." ”

Gu Beicheng glanced at the guards, and really had some eyesight, although the cell here was in the depths of the prison, the candles were bright all around, and the hall was very bright, and he had not seen any other guards since he came out of the passage.

"Your Majesty, the little one is waiting outside the door, and you will call me for something."

Although there are no guards here, the smell is really unpleasant, and the mixture of musty, urine, and stinky smells makes people really nauseous.

Gu Beicheng covered his mouth and nose with his hand, nodded lightly, and said, "Give me the key." ”

"This ......" The guard's eyes suddenly turned cold when he looked at Gu Beicheng, and he quickly took it out, found the one that Gu Beicheng wanted to use, and handed it over, "Your Majesty, this is it." ”

Gu Beicheng took the key, and according to what the guard said, he walked straight inside, and sure enough, as soon as he turned around, he saw Lin Miaoyin.

"Gu Beicheng?" Lin Miaoyin was taken aback, she didn't expect him to come to her.

Gu Beicheng opened the door of the cell, went in and took Lin Miaoyin's hand, "Follow me." ”

Lin Miaoyin promised Mrs. Zhuang Ji, if she leaves now, won't the whole plan fall short? Maybe some innocent people will be killed, and she can't go.

"Let it go......" Lin Miaoyin withdrew her hand.

Gu Beicheng turned his head and looked at her angrily and surprised, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Miao Yin is a guilty body, the country has national laws, and you can't go out with the king." After Lin Miaoyin finished speaking, she lowered her head.

Gu Beicheng punched the iron fence of the cell, "Guilty? Did you know that treason is a capital crime? You are a girl, and you have not yet left the cabinet, how will you face the outside eyes in the future? ”

Lin Miaoyin slowly took a few steps back, he walked over and grabbed her hand, but she stubbornly broke free again......
