He walked on the long staircase, only the dim light on the wall was still beating faintly, and the musty smell that came up from time to time underneath made Xia Yi feel a little sick to his stomach, he took out a handkerchief from his clothes and covered his mouth and nose.

At the end of the staircase was a boxy mahogany table, and the cell head was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, his legs propped up on the table, and the upturned chair swaying.

Xia Yi frowned, flipped through the case cases scattered on the table at will, looked at the rows of keys hanging on the wall next to the cell head, and then walked in lightly, not wanting to wake up the cell head.

The entire dungeon was dark and damp, mixed with some unknown strange smells, which made Xia Yi, who was used to being pampered, very disgusted. At the end of the dungeon, there was the cell where the summer pool was kept.

"Hey, Ah Chi." Xia Yi kicked the iron railing in front of him with his foot.

At this time, Xia Chi had already changed into a prisoner's uniform, his hair was also messy and piled together, and his once fair face was already dusty, shrunk into a ball and leaning against the wall, completely devoid of his former vitality.

Xia Chi heard the sound and slowly opened his eyes, thinking that it was the jailer who came to deliver food, and he didn't really want to pay attention to it, but when he saw the appearance of the person who came, his eyes were covered with tears for a moment.

He got up from the ground, ran to Xia Yi, grabbed the railing, and shouted, "Brother Huang! Save me! ”

"Shhhh

Xia Chi nodded, although he lowered his voice a little, but he still couldn't hide the excitement in his emotions: "Brother Huang, let me out!" ”

Xia Yi shook his head and said, "Now is not the time. ”

"How long will that be?"

"I may have to make you bear the sins of this king for a while......"

"Brother Huang, how can you do this! You said that if you follow you, you will protect me, but now? I'm locked up in this dark dungeon, and you, obviously you are the mastermind, why can you be your prince with peace of mind, and I will take the blame for you! The more Xia Chi spoke, the more he couldn't control his voice.

"Shhh Xia Yi covered Xia Chi's mouth with his hand, "Don't say it's you, this king can't even protect himself now, don't you know that your father is looking for Xia Yuan all over the imperial city these days, if Xia Yuan comes back, this king can still keep the crown prince?" How can this king protect you? ”

"That'...... So what to do? ”

"The king's spies in the northwest sent back the news to the king, the northwest is a little ready to move recently, the northwest king Rong Nanfeng seems to have the intention of going to war in the Central Plains, if it really comes to that time the king will ask his father to ask for troops to fight, if the king can successfully pacify the northwest, then the king will make a great contribution to the Xia Dynasty, in this way, the crown prince should be able to keep, and then the king will find a way to let the old immortal give up the throne, and when the king becomes the emperor, you can be released immediately, You can also kill that annoying Xia Yuan. So, Ah Chi, all you have to do now is live well, you know? Admit your mistakes when you can admit them, but you are also a prince, they won't do anything to you, do you understand? ”

Xia Chi looked at Xia Yi with wide eyes, and did not speak, and after a long time, he nodded slowly.

"Very good, this king will leave first, maybe my father will come to you later, you can't let him know that this king has come to look for you."

After speaking, Xia Yi walked out of the dungeon quickly without looking back, as if he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, and when he walked past the two guards at the door, he stopped and said to them: "Don't tell anyone that this king has been here and knows?" Even if it's the emperor, it's not good, otherwise you will be good-looking. ”

Xia Yi, who finished the cruel words, walked quickly to the palace, and along the way, he also took out a handkerchief and wiped the hand that had covered Xia Chi's mouth just now, and threw it in the grass pile on the side after wiping it.

The lazy guard at the door of the dungeon saw Xia Yi walking away, and sighed: "Isn't it just a prince who became a prince by picking up leaks, what is there to drag." ”

His colleague still slapped him: "You can accumulate some virtue, don't even know how to die when the time comes." ”
