Self-Ruthlessness is Better Than Affection (19)
As the man walked down the steps, a light quickly appeared in front of his eyes, which was the damp ground below the steps reflecting the fire on the wall. Five steps after the man descended the stairs, there was a tin door, and two guards stood straight in the doorway.
"Who?" The guard reached out to stop the man, looking at the man in front of him who was wearing a skirt and lowered his head, deliberately covering his face with his long hair.
"I ...... I'm here to bring food to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The man pinched his throat, trying to make his voice sound sharper, and picked up the food box in his hand a little, shaking it in front of the guard's eyes.
"Let's go inside." The guard's eyes were a little puzzled, how could there be such an ugly and ugly maid, and Prince Rong really dared to let her stay in the mansion. But after thinking about it, the guard withdrew his hand, opened the iron door, and turned sideways to make way for the man.
"Thank you." The man bent his knees slightly, saluted the two guards, and walked in before he could be spotted.
The damp and moldy smell in the dungeon came from the surface, and the smell was a little disgusting, and the man looked at the cells on both sides as he walked, for fear of missing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in which room, but the people in every room he passed by were skinny, and the clothes on his body were so dirty that he couldn't see the original color clearly, and his hair was messy on his head, like a bird's nest, and there were some indescribable things stuck to it, which was very disgusting to look at. When they heard the footsteps coming from the aisle, they all turned their eyes to the man, and he was furious by these hungry wolf-like gazes, and hastened to quicken his pace.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The man finally found Xia Yi, who was sitting on the ground against the wall and closing his eyes behind the innermost iron door, still wearing the bright yellow robe, but it had become dim at this moment.
After hearing the voice, Xia Yi just raised his eyes, and saw that the person who came was wearing a maid's skirt and holding a food box in his hand, and he couldn't see his face clearly, so he thought it was just a maid who came casually to deliver food, and then closed his eyes, and didn't want to pay much attention to it, "Let it go." ”
The man put the food box into the cell, turned his head and looked at the cells around him, only the room next to Xia Yi was locked up, at the moment this person was lying on the stone bed with his back to the man, and there was no one in the rest of the room, so he combed his long hair with confidence, revealing a face full of wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's me." ”
Xia Yi opened his eyes suddenly, saw this familiar face outside the railing, moved forward, got closer to the man, and asked, "Why are you?" ”
"Your Highness, the little one can be regarded as seeing you." The man didn't care how dirty and damp the ground was, and knelt in front of Xia Yi with a thud.
"What's wrong?" Even in the dungeon, Xia Yi had to try to keep his voice calm
"Your Royal Highness, something is indeed wrong, but this matter has to start from that day, that day the little one heard in the palace that there was a maid in the palace to say, Rong Wangye attacked the Central Plains this time, and captured the leader of the Central Plains army without breaking a soldier, the small one was a little worried, I don't know which general of the court was arrested, so he secretly ran out of the palace and hid in the corner to see, just saw Rong Wangye was walking to the palace with the guards, fortunately they didn't seem to find the small one when they walked by the small one, but the small one saw it clearly on the side, The person who was imprisoned in the carriage was His Royal Highness the Prince, and the little one was not good, and he rushed to the Central Plains without the consent of His Royal Highness, and the little one rushed overnight just to see the emperor as soon as possible and report to the emperor about it. When the man spoke, he lowered his head very low, for fear that he would see Xia Yi's eyes that were not pleased with what he was doing.
"Well, you did a good job this time, you should be rewarded, and then, have you seen your father? Did my father send someone to save me? The man didn't wait for the imaginary scolding, but he could still have a reward, raised his head in surprise, and lowered his head again after meeting Xia Yi's expectant eyes.
"I saw it, but I just ......" The second half of his question made the man a little unsure how to answer.
"Just what? Don't talk crooked, hurry up. Xia Yi urged with some impatience.
"It's just that the emperor said that you don't have to go back to the Central Plains, you have been abandoned by him and the entire Xia Dynasty." The man thought for a while, but still truthfully said what Qin Han told him to Xia Yi.
The man kept his head down, but he hadn't heard Xia Yi's voice for a long time, he raised his head slightly with some uneasiness, and looked at Xia Yi with his spare eyes, only to see that his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, his lips trembled, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Your Highness?" The man shouted softly.
"How could it be...... How could it be...... This king has paid so much for the Xia Dynasty, how can my father ......" Xia Yi first muttered in disbelief, and then, grabbed the man's collar and pulled him towards himself, "Are you bought by Xia Yuan, and you came together to deceive this king, right?" It had to be him! Who else could there be besides Xia Yuan? ”
The man's face was pressed tightly against the railing, and he said in a somewhat muffled voice: "Your Highness, you ...... What do you say? Small...... How dare the little one lie to His Royal Highness the Prince, the little one has always been loyal to His Royal Highness. ”
"Go, you go, go to this king, go, don't appear in front of this king's eyes again." Xia Yi let go of the man's collar and slapped him on the man's chest, pushing him out and pushing him to the ground.
"What about rewards...... The man sat on the ground, rubbed his hands, and smiled at Xia Yidui.
"Get out!" Xia Yi was distraught and yelled at the man.
"Good, good." The man hurriedly got up from the ground, and even rolled and climbed the ground to run on the steps when he came and went, how could His Royal Highness the Prince's mood be uncertain?
Xia Yi sat on the ground, grabbing his hair indiscriminately, and couldn't understand why his father would say such a thing: "How come, shouldn't you send troops to save this king?" This king has done so much for this whole dynasty over the years, are you blind old man? Is this king the kind of thing that can be lost if you say you lose it? ”
He slammed his fist into the wall next to him, and a scolding voice came from the other end of the wall: "Damn it, what about knocking on your grandfather's wall?" ”
"Damn, even a death row prisoner dares to bother this king." Xia Yi withdrew his hand and lay down on the stone bed beside him.
Hua Wuliang carried a small cloth bag on his back, covered the dazzling sunlight with his hand, looked at the endless golden yellow in front of him, and said to himself: "Why am I lost......
