Chapter 217: The Dungeon
The dungeon of the palace of Ferrand is only one floor, and the long corridor is covered with layers of guards.
The black-faced guard led Xingli through the last stone door, turned to the right, and walked more than a hundred meters before he came to a prison door engraved with animal patterns.
Xingli raised his hand slightly at the black-faced guard, and the black-faced guard hurriedly stepped forward to open the prison door, Xingli secretly sighed, and walked in with long legs.
The cell was small, but very bright, and near the vent was a stone table, in which Erdoni sat on a stone bench in front of it, stunned.
"His Royal Highness!" Xingli closed the cell door and shouted in his usual low, cold voice.
"His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!" There was not the slightest strangeness in Erdoni's voice, he sat there motionless, thinking about his thoughts, Xingli's visit was what he expected, but the speed of the visit was beyond his expectations.
"Your Highness, aren't you curious why I'm here?" Xingli looked at Erdoni's emaciated face and asked in surprise.
"Of course I'm curious!" Erdoni slowly stood up, he looked at Xingli who was wet with dew, and asked calmly, "Your Highness is curious about how you can get Xiaowei!"
"How to get Yuwei is my business, Your Highness still worries about his own future!" Xingli held back the anger in his heart and replied pretending to be nothing.
"His Royal Highness is now a prisoner, what else is there to do, but His Highness firmly believes that Xiaowei will not leave His Highness!" Erdoni looked at Xingli, who pretended to be calm, and the corners of his lips rose slightly, revealing an elegant smile, like a spring breeze in March, blowing a pool of spring water, Xingli was like a pool of water wrinkled by the wind, and his heart was irrepressibly worried.
"Then what if Your Highness asks to be beheaded?" The star was raised from his neck, and a terrifying gaze shot out of his cold eyes.
"It's okay to ask!" Erdoni slowly sat back on the stone bench, "Your Highness can go over there and wait for Xiaowei's parents with her!" ”
"Nonsense!" Xingli hooked the corner of his mouth, revealing a sneer, he looked at Erdoni with an indifferent face and asked, "Your Highness didn't hold a wedding with Yu Wei, why did you go over there and wait for Yu Wei?"
"With His Royal Highness's infatuation and His Royal Highness's efforts, His Royal Highness would like to thank His Royal Highness Hong Shizi for his accomplishment!" After speaking, Erdoni nodded slightly.
"Your Highness laughed." Xingli woke up from a moment of trance and said provocatively: "Yuwei has only loved me from beginning to end!"
"Perhaps!" Erdoni shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It doesn't matter whether Xiaowei loves Her Highness or not, what matters is her last choice!"
"Choose?" Xingli said sarcastically: "What she chooses is not His Highness, but the power in the hands of His Highness!"
"What about choosing the right? If it weren't for His Royal Highness Hong Shizi's sword, His Royal Highness could give her the life she wanted! Erdoni said angrily.
"What is the life she wants?" Xingli sneered and said, "Living with someone she doesn't love is also the life she wants!"
"That's better than living with a hypocrite!" Erdoni said sarcastically.
A chill suddenly flickered in Xingli's calm eyes, like a gust of wind whistling from the ice field, making people feel an indescribable fear.
Erdoni smiled wryly at this opponent who was constantly struggling inside, whether he was hypocritical or not, Xiaowei loved him from beginning to end.
Silence, deathly silence......
Xingli stared at Erdoni without saying a word, he firmly believed in Yuwei's feelings for him, but because of his hesitation, Yuwei finally chose to stay away from him.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh, although he kept Yuwei by his side, but in this competition for love, he has always become the losing party, no matter how hard he tries, he can't see Yuwei's bright smile like stars.
"May I ask when His Royal Highness Hong Shizi will hold an engagement ceremony with Limei?" Erdoni teasingly looked at Xingli who was lost in thought.
"How?" Xingli raised his eyebrows, "Does Your Highness want to attend our engagement ceremony?" ”
"Not bad!" Erdoni said with a smile on his face: "I want to see how this farce directed by His Royal Highness Hong Shizi ends?"
"Don't bother Your Highness, the king will definitely hold an enviable engagement ceremony for us!" Xingli replied proudly.
"His Royal Highness is not only envious, but also very much looking forward to it, I can't witness this engagement ceremony that has never been seen before, and His Royal Highness is really a little regretful!" Erdoni's eyes were mocking.
"Humph!" Xingli snorted coldly, "Your Highness doesn't have to be anxious, it won't be long before I bring Lord Ertori to meet Your Highness!" ”
"That's not necessary, she and me, and you and her are the same, and His Highness may not be able to see her at that time!"
"What do you mean?" Xingli looked at Erdoni suspiciously, "How are you with her and how are you with me?" ”
"Roses have branded a love, branded roses have grown! Hahaha......" Erdoni couldn't help but laugh.
The world says that the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and it seems that the suffering that the mother concubine has experienced will be returned even worse.
Xingli looked at Erdoni's appearance before and was shocked, could there be something hidden here, he didn't care about Erdoni, who was laughing loudly, opened the cell door and walked out quickly.
"Your Highness, Your Highness Hong Shizi!" Xingli, who had just stepped out of the first stone gate, stopped, and he seemed to hear someone calling out to him.
He turned his head and looked into the cell on his left, where a pair of shining eyes faintly appeared in the vent of a cell door.
"Who's locked up here?" Xingli asked at the black-faced guard.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Huihong, here is the criminal minister - Ronglian."
"Open the door!"
"Subordinates obey!"
As the cell door opened, a big man with a fleshy face tied to an iron chain appeared in front of Xingli.
"His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!" Ronglian watched Xingli kneel on the ground excitedly.
"Get up and speak!" Xingli resisted the damp smell emanating from the prison and said patiently.
"The sinners don't dare!" Rong Lian hung his head vigorously, and his original arrogant and invincible expression had long disappeared without a trace.
"Speak up if you have something to say!" The black-faced guard scolded impatiently.
Rong Lian yelled and made trouble in the prison every day, which had already annoyed them, and if it hadn't been for Steward Zhou's explanation that Her Majesty the Queen wanted to stay alive, they would have starved him to death.
"The old minister is wronged, and please ask His Royal Highness Hong Shizi to say a word in front of His Majesty for the old minister!"
"Say what!" The black-faced man interrupted him with a slash on his face, "You are a capital offense for arsoning with women, stealing trees, and collecting treasures!" ”
"However, the criminal has been killing all his life, and has made great contributions to the unification of the Ferrand clan, and it will not be a dead end if he redeems his merits!" Rong Lian looked at Xingli with a cold face and shouted.
"Okay, Your Highness will listen to you and tell me how you want to atone?" Xingli glared at the black-faced guard who was about to speak, and slowly asked Ronglian.
"The criminal minister once led troops to quell the rebellion of the Marquis of Beishan, and made a great contribution to His Majesty's smooth succession to the throne!"
"Well, anything else?" Xingli couldn't help but feel disgusted when he looked at Ronglian with a flushed face.
"The criminal minister waved his troops north, exterminated the Snow Deer Clan, and took the lead for the unification of the northern country!"
"Yes, go on!" Xingli looked at Ronglian, who was full of excitement, and continued to encourage.
"The criminal led the troops to garrison along the inland river, and did not feed the hardships and dangers, which can be described as a high degree of hard work!"
"Anything else?" Xingli looked at Ronglian, whose eyes were full of light, and continued to ask.
"No," Rong Lian lowered his head and thought for a moment before raising his bearded face and saying, "His Royal Highness Hui Hong Shizi, there is no more!"
"Isn't that new?" Xingli stared at Rong Lian, whose face was glowing red, "Your merits have been told, but your sins have not been told?" ”
When Rong Lian heard this, his face slowly turned white, and after a while, he replied quibly: "The sins of the criminal minister were all done by that rebellious woman and the people under him, and the criminal really doesn't know?"
"And what did your daughter do?" Xingli asked nonchalantly.
"She kidnapped His Royal Highness the County Lord!" Ronglian said without confidence.
"Anything else?" Xingli raised his hand and pinched his head with a faint pain.
"It's gone, the others are some unruly!" Rong Lian hurriedly raised his head and looked at Xingli flatteringly.
"!" Xingli took a step forward and slapped Rong Lian hard, if it wasn't for Rong Yu to kidnap Yu Wei, how could he be in a dilemma today!
"Your Highness, why do you want to beat up the criminals!" Rong Lian only felt that half of his head was buzzing.
"His Royal Highness will not only beat you, but will also ask for an order to kill you personally, a lowly minister like you will not be able to solve the hatred in His Highness's heart even if he dies!" Xingli stared at Rong Lian, who was dazed, and scolded angrily.
Rong Lian only felt a chill in his heart, so he trembled and collapsed on the ground, he suddenly remembered the knife he slashed at His Royal Highness Hong Shizi, the blade was full of blood dripping down, red, and he couldn't open his eyes.
Xingli glanced at him with disgust, and walked quickly to the outside of the prison, the words of His Highness Erdoni were still lingering in his ears, he needed to meet his mother, he didn't want to see but had to see.
……
"His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!" Steward Zhou walked over to Xingli, the queen had just received the news that Xingli had angrily entered the dungeon, and she was afraid that Xingli would kill His Highness Erdoni in anger, so she sent him over to invite Xingli back.
"Your Majesty, are you here?" Xingli stopped and looked at Steward Zhou with a smile on his face and asked.
"In! At! Steward Zhou nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty is waiting for His Royal Highness Hong Shizi in the main hall!" ”
"Oh?" Xingli raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Your Majesty asked the old slave to prepare the wine and food, and I am waiting to have a drink with His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!" Steward Zhou looked at Xingli's gloomy face and quickly explained.
"Drink?" Xingli sneered, capturing the crown prince of the Erdo tribe was his mother's long-cherished wish for many years, and of course he had to celebrate.
"Your Highness, please!" Steward Zhou looked at Xingli's cold expression and said cautiously.
Xingli didn't look at Steward Zhou, so he took the lead and walked towards the main hall, and there was a row of wilted crape myrtle trees planted on the road leading to the main hall, and the white petals fell on the cold marble floor, which made people feel cold.
He stretched out his hand and picked off a petal that fell on the branch, the petals were white, soft, and indescribably cold, like Yuwei who had lost her child.
He suddenly felt his heart sink, as if he was blocked by a boulder in his chest, he gasped hard, and walked forward in despair.
