Coincidentally, not long after Xia Yi left the dungeon, the two guards guarding the door had just spoken a few words easily.

The moment the two raised their eyes, they saw the Huang Luo canopy above the emperor's head from a distance.

Almost passing by Xia Yi, Xia Huai didn't notice the white handkerchief that Xia Yi threw in the grass.

"What day is today, the crown prince has come to the emperor." The lazy guard tried to keep his mouth still and said to his colleague next to him.

"Then you can't say a few words?" The peers also crooked the corners of their mouths at the lazy guard.

The two guards who ended the conversation straightened their bodies at the same time, and the emperor approached, closer, and walked in front of him!

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The two saluted in the same way.

"Let's be flat." Xia Huai didn't want to make things more difficult for the two guards, so he walked towards the dungeon with a circle of palace maids and eunuchs.

After the two guards were gone, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the emperor didn't stay long, otherwise he would have been scared to death.

"Hey, wake up, are you still sleeping?" A little eunuch closest to the emperor, seeing that this cell head was so rude, hurriedly ran two steps faster, walked in front of the emperor and knocked on the square mahogany table.

The cell boss, who was woken up, first saw the little eunuch in front of him, and was about to get angry, but his eyes crossed the little eunuch's shoulders and fell on the man in the dragon robe behind him, and his expression immediately changed from dissatisfied to shocked.

"Poof" knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"Please also ask the emperor to forgive your sins."

"Get up, I'm not in the mood to punish you now."

With that, the emperor went to the depths of the dungeon.

When the little eunuch passed by the cell boss, he stuck out his tongue at him: "You are lucky." ”

The cell head knelt on the ground and kept such a movement, but his eyes followed the palace maid and eunuch.

Yourself this is ...... Escaped?

Xia Huai stopped in front of the cell in the deepest part of the dungeon, he put his hands behind his back and stared at the darkness behind the iron bars.

"Ah Chi."

Xia Chi's eyes widened for a moment, thinking that he was the emperor's brother, and he changed his mind and wanted to rescue him.

But when he saw clearly who the person who came, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed, "Father, ......"

Xia Huai was standing in a backlit position, and the shadow hit his face, making his already majestic face reflect in Xia Chi's eyes like Shura at this moment, and his pupils shrank.

"What? Disappointed to see me? ”

Xia Chi sat on the ground and didn't speak, he knew that the emperor came in person this time, and he definitely came to ask his own words.

Thinking back to what Xia Yilai said to him not long ago, he suddenly began to wonder if he should continue to believe his words.

"Ah Chi, I have something to ask you, and you answer honestly, I won't do anything to you." Then he said to the palace maids and eunuchs beside him, "You all go out and wait." ”

"Yes."

Soon, only Xia Huai and Xia Chi were left face to face in the depths of the entire dungeon.

Xia Chi curled himself up again and crouched in a small corner, trying to hide his figure in the dark. He was a little afraid to look at Xia Huai, even if that person was his father, but after all, it was the current saint, when facing him, it was false to say that he was not afraid, and under the solemn aura that came with it, it even made Xia Chi tremble with fear.

Xia Huai squatted down, tried to suppress his anger, and said to Xia Chi calmly, "Ah Chi, tell me why you did this. ”

"It's not me, it's not me." When Xia Chi saw that Xia Huai's line of sight was level with himself, he felt that his mind was suddenly blank, everything Xia Yi said was left behind by Xia Chi, and there was only one thought: Is it okay to tell the truth to his father and go out!

"Who's that?"

"It's Xia Yi! It's Xia Yi! He asked me to do this, he said that he wanted me to lie to the prince's brother that Sister Mandarin Duck was kidnapped, and then my brother would definitely go to save Sister Mandarin Duck, Xia Yi also asked me to light a cigarette in the agreed place to stun my brother, and that smoke was also given to me by Xia Yi! The more Xia Chi's expression spoke, the more excited he became.

Xia Huai frowned, looking at Xia Chi's expression as if he was not lying, he felt that this matter was really annoying.

"Do you have any evidence that Yi'er did it?"

Xia Chi suddenly seemed to remember something, and threw himself directly on the railing, grabbed the iron railing with both hands, and didn't care whether he was afraid or not, and shouted directly at Xia Huai: "Old slave! It was dug by an old slave! He must have seen it, he must have known! It's him that Xia Yi is looking for! ”

"Old slave? Where is it? "It's getting more and more annoying to have another person.

"I don't know, he should be living in a small village outside the imperial city." Xia Chi tried to remember the appearance of the old slave he saw that night, "He is a little hunchbacked, his hair is all white, his skin is a little dark, and there is a scar on his eye, he is probably that tall. ”

As he spoke, Xia Chi stood up and gestured the height of the old slave with his hand.

Xia Huai was silent for a while, stood up, and walked out, leaving only Xia Chi behind him to stretch out his arms and grasp the air indiscriminately: "Father!" Father! Don't you care about me! ”

"Tell me to go down and look for it, and I will see someone before dinner." Xia Huai walked out of the dim dungeon and said to the little eunuch who was waiting on the side.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor's footsteps did not stop, and walked straight towards the imperial study, the palace maid behind him hurriedly followed, while the little eunuch left from the other side and walked towards the royal barracks.

The lazy guard, who watched the emperor walk away, relaxed his tense body and said to his peers: "What day do you say today?" On weekdays, even flies are reluctant to fly to the dungeon, but today it is the emperor and the prince, and the emperor's expression, have you seen it, the thief is terrifying. Eh, speaking of which, are we going to have a drink together tonight? ”

The peer next to him still stood in the same standard posture as just now: "You still have to wait until the shift changes in the evening to consider whether you still have the energy to go to the bar." ”

"Huh? You're too boring, aren't you? ”

"Did you know me the first day?" The peer didn't really want to pay attention to the person next to him.

The lazy guard didn't answer, just looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, in a daze.

At this point in time, it was training time in the royal barracks, and when everyone saw the little eunuch walking towards here, they immediately stood in a row, facing the little eunuch.

"Grandpa Chen."

The little eunuch came closer, cleared his throat, and said to these people in front of him: "The emperor has ordered you to go to the village outside the city before dinner, find such an old slave with a scar on his eye, and bring it back." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers quickly dispersed, leaving the barracks in all directions and heading out of the city.
