In all dynasties, the mansions of dignitaries and nobles will have private prisons, and the Second Prince's Mansion is no exception.

In the dark and damp dungeon, An Xun, who used to look like Sven, has been tortured and has no human appearance, not only is he ragged because of the torture, his eyes are even more lifeless, his handsome face has also left a few scars, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and his sallow face looks like a refugee, and he can't recognize him at all if he doesn't look carefully.

Yelang stood in front of the cell, looking at An Xun, who had dealt with him several times in secret, and did not have the slightest sympathy.

The prince and the loser, An Xun himself is an evil person, a person like him is a cancer in time, if it is not for a little use, the Second Prince's Mansion will never waste rice and grain to make him survive.

"What other wishes do you have to fulfill?" Yelang asked in a low voice.

"What, the second prince doesn't plan to get what he wants from me, and he's ready to dispose of me?" Ahn Hoon's voice did not fluctuate at all, and there was even a hint of relief.

"An Xue Yan will not save you." Yelang didn't answer Ahn Hoon's question.

"I never counted on it." An Xun looked away, looked at the jumping candlelight and said: "An Xuyan has always known how to make good use of people, although the means are despicable, but he has never missed, I am just a waste now, he will not use any more thoughts on me, and he did not send anyone to kill me, also because he knows that I will not betray him." ”

"You know him well, so you can see that he has something you care about." Yelang found a chair and sat down, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, "Since you care so much, why don't you fight for it?" Although you can't escape from prison, you can give someone you care about a chance to be born again. ”

"Hahaha!" An Xun laughed out loud, the scab at the corner of his mouth was torn and bleeding, but An Xun didn't care, this little pain was far less than the daily punishment, "Don't try to get any news out of my mouth, and don't try to tempt me, because you can't do it at all, and no one can make her reborn!" ”

Yelang's eyes flashed, and he left the cell after getting the news he wanted.

Before leaving the dungeon, Yelang instructed the jailer: "From today onwards, there is no need to torture An Xun for three days, give him the best treatment." After three days, the punishment will be doubled, and it is enough not to take his life. Unless a new order is given, it is executed alternately. ”

"Yes, sir." The jailer received the order, and the personnel on duty in the dungeon knew that Yelang was deeply valued by Zhou Feng, and all important prisoners, Yelang could interrogate without Zhou Feng's warrant.

And Yelang's interrogation method is not conformist, but the effect is indeed better than others.

Not to mention that An Xun thought that his life was coming to an end, and had a hearty dinner, and the mood was different every day for the next three days, and he gradually became afraid of this special treatment in prison, until he was tortured again, he felt that this was normal, but he was no longer used to punishment, and his body and mind began to collapse.

Let's say that after Yelang left the dungeon, he went back to Song's house to find Song Xingchen to send a letter to Song Sanshan, if the speed was fast enough, he could meet him halfway, which would also reduce the time spent on the road.

Although the letter was written to Song Sanshan, the person who was really looking for it was Yin Sanmei.

Song Yueya and his wife followed Song Sanshan and others to leave, and Yin Sanmei and Yin Wumei also walked together, one of the sisters wanted to distract and find a new way of living, and the other was purely playful.

After all, she and An Xun have been husband and wife, and Yin Sanmei knows An Xun far better than others.

It's just that everyone was afraid that they would hurt Yin Sanmei before, so no one asked anything, but after so much time had passed, and the An family had to be eliminated, Song Xingchen also agreed with Yelang's approach.

An Concubine because of her meritorious service in saving the driver, and changed her domineering temperament in the past, the emperor has a little pity for her, although she is not as exclusive as before, but occasionally she will turn over An Concubine's brand, and even has the intention of restoring the identity of the third prince.

But the emperor is rational in the end, and some things are just thought about and not done.

The emperor is only a mortal fetus of flesh and blood, sooner or later he will go to Elysium, the third prince was bent on winning the throne, if he is given the title of prince, it is inevitable that he will relapse and want to take the throne again, and Zhou Feng may not be able to tolerate him when he ascends the throne.

In the end, it is his own flesh and blood, even if he is disappointed, the emperor does not want to ruin the life of the third prince, but whether his good intentions can be understood by anyone is not something that the emperor can control.

"Father, my son doesn't want to build a princess's mansion." Zhou Jin came to the imperial study to see the emperor, and after the father and daughter chatted for a while, Zhou Jin said his thoughts.

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Zhou Jin suspiciously, and asked, "Why don't you want to build a princess's mansion?" Since the beginning of the dynasties, princesses have had their own mansions, which is the glory of being in the royal family and a symbol of the status of princesses. Zhaoyang is not satisfied with the location? ”

"It's not." Zhou Jin shook his head and said: "Erchen knows that there is another war, and the soldiers on the border pass are fighting bloodily and fighting for the country, I don't know how many souls will be lost, and how many families will be broken because of this, Erchen would rather build the princess's mansion with the money that can do something for these soldiers and their families, rather than waste the useless silver." The son is a woman, and sooner or later she will get married, and it is good to live in her mother-in-law's house. If the father thinks it is inappropriate, he can choose a deserted official residence and order someone to repair it. ”

The emperor looked at Zhou Jin with some surprise, and only after a while did he smile with relief: "My Zhaoyang has really grown up, and I know how to sympathize with the border soldiers, I am very pleased." But the construction of the princess's palace is a royal system that cannot be abolished, you can not care, but you can't help but think about your children and grandchildren. ”

Zhou Jin looked at the emperor a little ignorantly, she hadn't thought about such a long-term thing, and she didn't understand the key to it very well.

Seeing this, the emperor sighed lowly, "I have protected you so well that there are some things that you can't think through. But that's fine, at least you're happy now, and my father would rather you be so happy for the rest of your life. ”

"Isn't Erchen stupid?" Zhou Jin asked.

"How come, my Zhaoyang is the smartest woman in the world, but there are some things that Zhaoyang doesn't need to worry about, and someone will do it for you, so Zhaoyang doesn't have to rack his brains for everything." The emperor doted on the top of Zhou Jin's hair, with the same worries as all fathers in the world, afraid that his daughter, who was cherished like a jewel, would finally go to someone else's house to be angry.

Even the Son of Heaven cannot control all the things in the world, especially the hearts of people.

"Then Zhaoyang won't think about those things that he can't understand, Erchen hates to use his brain the most." Zhou Jin smiled obediently, took the emperor's arm and said, "Since Erchen must have a princess's mansion, can Erchen himself supervise the work?" Erchen wants to give a sample to the princesses after the Great Zhou Kingdom, so the silver for the construction of the princess's mansion will be made by Erchen himself, and the father is not allowed to refuse Erchen again, otherwise Erchen will be sad. ”

Seeing that Zhou Jin was determined not to use the money in the treasury, the emperor was relieved and could only respond.

"According to Zhaoyang's meaning, the princess's mansion is yours, and how you want to build it, my father will not interfere. But my father wants to talk ahead, and when you look back, your little treasury is all spent, don't come to your father to cry poor, and your father won't care when the time comes. The emperor said with a deliberate straight face.

"Father, rest assured, the son will never come to his father to cry poor, the son is a rich man now." Zhou Jin raised his chin with a smug face, and said stinkily: "Erchen's princess's mansion must be better than the princesses of previous dynasties, and my father is waiting to appreciate Erchen's masterpiece." ”

"Okay, then the father will wait and see." The Emperor burst out laughing.

No matter how busy state affairs are, or how many worries there are, as long as she sees Zhou Jin, the emperor's mood can't help but be happy, which is why she loves Zhou Jin.

Here, the father and daughter talked happily, but the queen's face was not very good-looking.

In the past few days, the emperor has sent rewards to An Concubine more than once, although the emperor has never stayed overnight, but how can the queen not understand that the emperor is remembering the old feelings.

Although the emperor's kindness to the empress is far from being comparable to other concubines, even the period of concubine's grace cannot be compared.

But the queen knows in her heart that the emperor has affection for An Concubine, but as the emperor, he is pitiful and pitiful, and he will not show it easily, let alone mess up the dynasty because of love words.

"Go to the private treasury of the palace to take the jade Ruyi and give it to An Concubine, for an auspicious picture." Although the queen was annoyed in her heart, she still had to do the face project, "Pass on the decree of the palace, Concubine An has a meritorious role in saving the driver, and you don't have to come to the palace to ask for peace during the period of recuperation, if you have a need outside the regulations, you can ask the palace for a decree." ”

"Niangniang did this, it was really cheap for An Concubine, but the slave maid felt that the rumors outside were not groundless, and this rescue was clearly a drama arranged by An Concubine herself, she wanted to regain her favor and wanted to go crazy." Seeing that the palace people were ordered to leave, Mama Tang said angrily on the side.

"Mama Tang, you are the grandmother of this palace, and you should know the character of this palace best. Regardless of whether Concubine An did it intentionally or not, as the lord of the six palaces, there are some things that have to be done. The queen said helplessly: "No matter how much Concubine An has means, it also depends on whether the Sacred Heart is in her place, as long as the emperor is jealous of the An family, then An Concubine will not be able to become the climate, why should this palace bother with a clown who jumps off the beam?" ”

"Niangniang is right, the An family actually pushed the three princes out to prevent disasters, but they were alone, and the emperor must not tolerate them in his heart." Mama Tang nodded.

"Concubine An is always paying attention to it, if she can't be knocked down in one fell swoop, this palace doesn't want to fight with her anymore, and I don't have to let the emperor feel that this palace is too small to tolerate her." The queen rubbed her eyebrows and said tiredly: "What this palace is worried about now is that my father is already old, but because of Feng'er, I asked for a decree to go on the expedition, and this palace is really worried about my father's body." But the second brother has sacrificed his life for the country, the eldest brother can no longer be on the battlefield, and the younger generation of the Tang family is not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, I am afraid that it will decline. ”

"Niangniang, don't worry about the sky, even if the general is in charge, there are subordinates who charge into battle, and there will be no danger." Mama Tang is the queen's nurse, she has been in the Tang family for nearly 20 years, and she has a deep affection for the Tang family, "The old slave feels that the general is asking for troops this time, but it has the meaning of bringing the juniors in the family, even if it is a winning general, there must be juniors to take over the burden of the general's mansion, otherwise the general's mansion will really decline." ”

"I don't understand what you said, it's just that my father is old after all, and this long-distance fatigue will also have to suffer a lot." The queen sighed: "That's it, this palace can't control the affairs of the previous dynasty, the only thing I can do is to pray for my father, hoping that he can return triumphantly." ”

"Yes, the old slave believes in the blessings of the general, and even more in the blessings of the second prince." Mama Tang lowered her voice and said.

Hearing this, the queen nodded, but the worry in her eyes did not decrease in the slightest.
