After the reward was completed, Yingzheng set up a banquet for Wang Jian and the generals to wash the dust.

When the ministers pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and when they were drunk to celebrate, some people were worried.

Huayang Palace.

"Alas!" Mrs. Huayang didn't know how many times she sighed.

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry too much." Changpingjun comforted.

Changping Jun was not very interested in the celebration banquet, just ate a few bites casually, and then came to Huayang Palace.

"You, you really have the spirit of righteous annihilation." Mrs. Huayang complained.

"Alas!" Changping Jun also sighed, "Then what did the Queen Mother tell me to do, can't I follow Cheng Chan to mess around?" ”

"This—" Mrs. Huayang was speechless.

"It's clear that Cheng Chan was deceived by Fan Yuji." Changping Jun said, "At that time, the only choice was to reduce the losses of the soldiers and help Cheng Cheng reduce the crime as much as possible, as for the final verdict, it can only depend on the king's choice." ”

"Today in the court, how did the king react?" Mrs. Huayang asked urgently.

"The king looked very angry at first, but in the end, he just said that he would put Cheng Chan in the prison first, and then deal with it after the wedding."

"So, the adult is already in prison." Mrs. Huayang asked.

"It should have been locked up." Chang Pingjun said.

At this time, a palace maid walked in from outside the door, bowed lightly and said, "Queen Mother, Mrs. Xia asks to see." ”

Mrs. Huayang was slightly startled, and then said, "Hurry up, please." ”

The palace maid turned around and invited Mrs. Xia into the door.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Mrs. Xia bowed lightly and said.

"Why is my sister so polite." Mrs. Huayang squeezed a smile from the corner of her mouth and reached out to help Mrs. Xia.

"Yingfu has seen the Queen Mother." Yingfu next to Mrs. Xia bowed her hand and asked Andao.

Mrs. Huayang bowed slightly, which was considered a return gift.

"Mrs. Xia." Changpingjun also bowed his hand and saluted.

Mrs. Xia also nodded to Changpingjun.

Since she recognized her relationship with Ying Zheng, Mrs. Xia's status has increased day by day, and the entire Qin State also knows that Ying Zheng has such a grandmother.

After being polite to each other, Mrs. Huayang invited Mrs. Xia to her seat.

"My sister came this time, she must have something to find this palace." Mrs. Huayang had vaguely guessed the purpose of Mrs. Xia's visit this time.

"Exactly." Mrs. Xia said calmly, "I came here this time to ask my sister for something. ”

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Huayang said, "As long as this palace can do it, it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

"I heard that Cheng Huan was brought back." Mrs. Xia's face was still calm, "The old body wants to see him." ”

After all, Mrs. Xia does not have the status and connections of Mrs. Huayang, and it is really not easy to meet the prisoners in the prison.

"You are Cheng Huan's own grandmother, but Cheng Huan doesn't know about it, and speaking of it, the palace is also a little ashamed." Mrs. Huayang said.

Mrs. Xia was very relaxed: "It's all old things, besides, those are all issues of etiquette, no wonder anyone." ”

"This palace knows that now that you see their brothers fighting, your heart must not be good." Mrs. Huayang said, "This palace is not like this. ”

"Since they were born in the family of emperors, maybe this is their fate." Mrs. Xia said, "The old body has already seen it, and when it comes to you, sister, it seems that you are still worried." ”

"Alas......" Mrs. Huayang sighed lightly, "Although this child is your flesh and blood, after all, he also has the blood of the Mi family flowing in his body, and he grew up around the palace since he was a child, and now he has caused a big disaster, how can the palace not be sad." ”

"It's come to this, I hope my sister takes care of her health, don't worry too much." Mrs. Xia said.

Seeing that Mrs. Xia was so calm, Mrs. Huayang also calmed down a little and said, "My sister wants to see Cheng Huan, do you want to recognize him?" ”

Mrs. Xia shook her head and said: "Whether you recognize him or not, it can't change his life, and it only adds to his resentment. ”

"Okay." Mrs. Huayang said, "Originally, the palace was still hesitant to go to the prison to visit, but now it seems that even if Zheng'er loses his temper, we will have to go." ”

"My sister is too worried, Zheng'er won't." Mrs. Xia said.

Mrs. Huayang nodded, then sent the two little eunuchs, took a token, and went to arrange it first.

The so-called heavenly prison is a place where the prince's relatives are held, so it is not as dark and cold as an ordinary prison cell, giving people an eerie feeling.

Except for the iron bars of the isolation cells, most of the rest are made of wood.

Wooden floors, wooden beds, and wooden washbasins and toilets. The futon is also less damp and very dry.

Cheng Huan has washed her body, her hair is coiled, and she has returned to the appearance of a handsome young man, but there is still no lust in her eyes.

Mrs. Huayang, Mrs. Xia, Changping Jun and Yingfu entered the prison and were led by the jailer to the outside of the cell where Cheng Huan was held.

Mrs. Huayang thought that after Cheng Huan saw her, he would immediately pounce, or cry, or ask for help.

Who knew that Cheng Huan just said lightly: "Grandmother Wang." ”

After that, he was silent and did not express any expression.

"Cheng Huan, what's wrong with you." Mrs. Huayang was puzzled by Cheng Huan's abnormal reaction and asked.

"Nothing, Grandmother Wang." Cheng Huan slowly stood up, "Come in and sit." ”

The jailer opened the door, and several mermaids entered.

Mrs. Xia looked at Cheng Huan silently, and was not surprised by Cheng Huan's situation.

Changping Jun opened his mouth and said: "Cheng Huan, is it because of the gap from the prince to the prisoner that you can't accept it?" ”

Cheng Huan shook her head: "Life is almost gone, what is it to be imprisoned." ”

"Is that because you're resentful of Fan Yuzhi?" Mrs. Huayang asked.

Cheng Huan smiled bitterly and said, "I really should hate him, because he is the person I trust the most, but he plays with me in the palm of his hand." But what can resentment solve, to take revenge? ”

"You can't forgive yourself for being stupid, can you?" Changpingjun asked again.

Cheng Huan said lightly: "Maybe, but it's not important anymore." ”

There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart.

What Cheng Huan was destroyed was the belief he insisted on, but the person who did it was the one he trusted the most, and he regarded him as a father-like master.

"If we play together to keep you from dying, can you cheer up?" Mrs. Huayang asked again.

Cheng Huan still looked at Mrs. Huayang with a dull look: "If this is the case, then my life is better than death." ”

Mrs. Huayang couldn't hold back two lines of tears anymore.

As an elder, the last thing I want to see is the uncompetitive appearance of the younger generation, but Cheng Huan doesn't even have the desire to survive.

Chang Pingjun looked at Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia kept staring at Cheng Huan, but her mood seemed to have changed, and she seemed to be considering whether to use family affection to awaken Cheng Huan's desire to survive.

After thinking about it again, Mrs. Xia finally didn't speak, and her eyes moved away from Cheng Huan.

When Chang Pingjun saw Mrs. Xia's reaction, he only shook his head slightly.

"Think about it calmly." Changpingjun said, "You still have a lot of time to think, if you want to understand something, inform your uncle." ”

Cheng Huan nodded and said no more.

"Let's go, let him have a good rest, maybe he's frightened." Chang Pingjun said.

Mrs. Huayang nodded, and walked out of the cell with some reluctance, looking back from time to time.

Mrs. Xia also looked back twice, and left the prison with some reluctance.

It wasn't until everyone disappeared from sight that two hot tears flowed from Cheng Huan's eyes.

Early the next morning, the jailer brought food.

It was a very hearty breakfast, no worse than the royal food in the palace, and even a pot of wine.

When Cheng Chan saw it, he smiled bitterly and ate it.

The sumptuous meal seemed to indicate something, but Cheng Chan didn't care.

After eating and drinking, the jailer put away the dishes and chopsticks.

Footsteps rang out from outside the cell.

Ying Zheng came, and Zhao Gao followed.

When Cheng Cheng saw Yingzheng, he was not as indifferent as he was when he saw Mrs. Huayang yesterday, but took the initiative to say: "Brother Wang is here." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, ordered the jailer to open the door of the cell, and took Zhao Gao into the cell together.

"How's the rest?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Very good, very down-to-earth." Cheng replied.

Ying Zheng was a little surprised to answer, so he asked: "Your condition was not very good yesterday, why did you suddenly become more down-to-earth?" ”

Cheng Chan smiled slightly: "If you understand something, you will naturally feel at ease." ”

"What do you understand?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Cheng Chan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Brother Wang, you know Cheng Chan, I am not a person who likes to fight for power and profit. Since I was a child, I have longed to be able to wear iron armor, fight on the battlefield, and be able to expand the territory and make contributions to the Great Qin. ”

Ying Zheng did not interrupt Cheng Chan and listened to him quietly.

"And all along, I thought it was a desire to be famous. It wasn't until the moment he sat in the cage that the younger brother understood that these desires came from his love for the Ying clan and his belief in making Great Qin stronger. ”

"The reason why the younger brother raised the army was not to rebel, but to really believe Fan Yuzhi's words, and he couldn't bear Daqin to fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames. If the younger brother really coveted the throne for a long time, he would definitely make a careful plan and would not act so hastily. ”

Ying Zheng: "......"

"After the younger brother learned that Brother Wang proved his bloodline by dripping blood to recognize his relatives, I was at ease. Because of the throne of Great Qin, after all, there is no sideline. ”

"After that, the reason why the younger brother was at a loss was actually thinking about how to make up for the losses caused to Daqin because of his stupidity."

Ying Zheng stared at Cheng Cheng and asked, "Then do you want to understand, how to do it?" ”

"There is only one death." Cheng Cheng said resolutely.

Ying Zheng: "!?? ”

"What the courtier is referring to is not dying to apologize. If I flee to Zhao, I will inevitably be used by people with intentions in the future and become a puppet to counterattack Qin. If you seek refuge in the court and survive, it will inevitably turbulent the dynasty and make the courtiers shake their faith in Brother Wang and Daqin. Even if other countries do not take advantage of the situation at this time, presumably Brother Wang will definitely be more difficult in the future conquest due to the disunity of people. Cheng Chan's tone was very sincere.

Ying Zheng's face was solemn, he thought that Cheng Chan had lost all his thoughts, but he didn't think that Cheng Chan was so thoughtful and took care of the overall situation.

"Therefore, Cheng Chan is willing to die, to correct the law and discipline, deter the ministers, help Brother Wang to take charge of the royal power as soon as possible, in order to protect the Ying clan forever, if one day, Brother Wang can sweep away the six countries and calm the world, Cheng Chan will be able to get his wish under the Yellow Spring."

Ying Zheng was violently moved, tears accumulated in his eyes, and they were about to roll down.

This is Cheng Chan, an eighteen-year-old boy, but when he is helpless and desperate, he still knows the general situation.

And these words, he can only say to Yingzheng. This is also the reason why he is the same as yesterday.

"Since you have thought it so carefully, the widow can only do what you say." Ying Zhengqiang held back his tears and said, "Do you still have any unfulfilled wishes, say it." ”

"Cheng Chan hopes that Brother Wang will give him a zhang of white silk, and the younger brother wants to write some heartfelt words to warn future generations." Cheng Chan said.

Ying Zheng nodded lightly and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Cheng Chan shook his head slowly, then stood up and bowed down: "Cheng Chan said goodbye to Brother Wang, and the Ying family will ask Brother Wang." ”

Ying Zheng turned around, two lines of hot tears no longer flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, and then left the prison without looking back, unable to bear to let Cheng Chan see his fragile side.

Cheng Chan looked at the back of Yingzheng leaving, and his eyes were quite complicated.

Two hours later, a white silk swayed on the beams.

Adult cockroaches hang themselves.
