She carried the lantern down the stairs step by step, to the deepest depths of darkness, the place where the light and shadow shone were empty, she pressed the mechanism, faintly heard the murmuring of water, followed by a huge stone door, slowly rising and falling the sand.

A middle-aged man, richly dressed, his hands and feet are bound, imprisoned in a dark prison, but his expression is ordinary, nothing more than years of cultivation, in order to have a calm and calm king before the collapse of Mount Tai, and even in prison and leisurely through the candlelight, he is not in a hurry to read books, full of interest.

He heard the sound but ignored it, lowered his head and admired the calligraphy in his hand.

"Do you have pen and paper?" He continued to bow his head, no grievances in his tone, just pleading.

Seeing that he was so indifferent, Ye Xin complied with his wishes, and took out the ink utensils he carried with him, the white jade soft pen and Xue Xuan from his sleeve.

Hand it to him.

The man looked like he had no intention of taking the pen and ink, his wrist trembled, and then he looked up with surprise in his eyes, unbelievably mixed with fear but more with anticipation and tenderness.

"You?" He stayed in this dark room for a few days, knowing that someone was making a big fuss about him, either greedy for money or for power, and never thought that it would be her.

"Heart? How would you? He hesitated, even though he had expected that these would be inseparable from the person in front of him, but he still instinctively wanted to get closer.

"How could I be alive, right?" Ye Xin looked at him with a cold face, without a trace of waves, as if facing a stranger, the only emotion was hatred.

"If it's really you, it's still so beautiful all these years, your face is still the same," he concealed the sourness in his heart, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Thanks to you, I have lost my husband and abandoned my children over the years, I have been displaced, and even committed to the enemy in order to survive, Zhao Ji, you treat me really "sincerely" Ah" She confided every word sadly, every word was like a knife.

Zhao Ji approached her, and when he heard this, the hand he just wanted to touch was retracted with difficulty. "Back then, why did you insist on marrying Yu Feng, you knew that I was going to treat you-"

"I love what I love, what's wrong, and you put the lives of thousands of soldiers at risk for your own selfish desires, ignore the century-old society of the Great Song Dynasty, ignore the love between us for many years, and now you still blame others for the wrong" She said excitedly, her heart was almost out of breath, she held on to her chest and endured the anger that had been suppressed for many years, and then at this moment, the monstrous hatred was clearly poured into the eyes of the enemy.

Obviously, she and Zhao Ji have been childhood sweethearts for decades, and the friendship that began in infancy was ruined by this selfish man by the years.

"You hate me! It was I who ruined your life, but I liked you so much at the beginning, why didn't you give me a little bit of your love for Yu Feng, and even disobeyed the whole family, but also married him, where did you put my dignity?"

"Dignity, how many families have been displaced by your dignity, separated from flesh and blood, your dignity is important, do other people's loved ones and lives deserve to be trampled on by you?"

Ye Xin thought that he still had a little room for maneuver, and he still had a little bit of unresolved conscience, but now it seems that she was wrong, this person has no heart, he only cares about himself.

In this case, there was no need to continue, Ye Xin turned around and left.

"Xin'er" Zhao Ji hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes, and there was still longing in her eyes. "Before his accident, did you like me in the slightest?"

Ye Xin looked at the man coldly, snorted coldly, and pulled out his clothes vigorously, leaving two words that sounded loudly.

"Never!"

Her long shadow gradually disappeared in front of her, and Zhao Ji's heart couldn't catch her shadow no matter how much she chased it.

The dim light was mottled in his eyes, and it seemed that he hated himself.

Now that he is not worried about his own safety, if they want their own lives already in their hands, why wait until now, it seems that they have other plans.

He looked up and looked around, then returned to the collapse to continue his studies.

It's just that at this moment, there is something sad in my heart.

Soon, Zhao Ji was transferred to Zhao Huan by the Thousand Machine Pavilion, but he did not immediately welcome him back but secretly transferred to Cai You. Under the starry night, Zhao Ji was not welcomed back to the palace by his son, but was sent to the minister's mansion. You don't have to guess to know what Zhao Huan is doing.

"Say, is this a rush to force him to let Xian or directly solve the fruit? This battle, I'm afraid it's not good" Zhao Ji didn't hide it at all, he had been in the palace for so many years, he could still see this bit of skill, and the left and right were nothing more than forcing him to compromise.

"The minister is afraid, the prince is only for the sake of His Majesty's safety, so he made this decision just in case" Cai You knelt down on one knee and was thoughtful.

"Then why didn't he come to visit him directly, but let you be the messenger" Zhao Ji thought it was funny.

"Now that the thieves have not been cleared, the forces are complicated, the enemy and I are unknown, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes to entrust the ministers to ask for something."

"What's that?"

"The minister and the prince hope that Your Majesty will only hold Xie Yi accountable for the matter and not involve anything else."

"Humph! What if I don't agree? Zhao Ji's words were sharp.

"The minister can only offend" Cai You's eyebrows were crossed, and he pressed step by step, "The minister has a way to make His Majesty agree"

"What do you want to do, traitor?"

Zhao Ji was pinched by his chin and forced to open his mouth and eat a black pill the size of a bean.

He coughed violently and tried to spit it out but to no avail. "What did you give me?"

"A little enough to make His Majesty obedient". Cai You smiled gloomily.

"In vain, I have worked hard to cultivate you for so many years, and in the end, I was bitten by the dog I trained," Zhao Ji said hatefully.

"Hmph, you have worked hard to provoke me and Cai Jing's old guy over the years, and it can be regarded as achieving your goal, the two tigers are fighting, and it is cost-effective enough to maintain the stability of the court for you for so many years."

Cai Yu straightened his sleeves and wanted to say something more.

Zhao Ji's expression was different, his body suddenly twitched, his eyes were torn in pain, and he breathed hard.

Cai You observed for a moment, and it didn't look like it was pretending. "Come" Cai You immediately found the imperial doctor, he couldn't let Zhao Ji die here, if the king of a country died here, it would really be impossible to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

Several old doctors were busy and barely managed to save his life, but they all shook their heads and said that his time was short.

"How so?" Cai You didn't believe it, if he fed Zhao Ji in such a way that it would make people uncomfortable but not fatal, the dosage was measured, how could he make such a mistake.

"Lord Hui, has Your Majesty been exposed to any poison before?"

He thought that he hadn't touched anything from that group of Qianji Pavilion people of unknown origin to this city villa, and all the living and eating were in charge of a special person, and the doctor was inspecting them, so the problem could only lie with Ye Xin.
