Chapter 101: Chasing Chess and Giving Up Chess (4)

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor didn't say anything excessive, right?"

As soon as the prince pushed the door open, he saw Lan Yuan nervously coming over, so he glanced at him lightly, did not answer, and sat down in the room.

Lan Yuan wondered in his heart, his face suddenly became serious, and he hurriedly followed, and asked worriedly: "Your Highness, is the emperor ......?"

"The emperor didn't say anything," the prince waved his hand, still stunned with anger, "but I really can't understand him." He will believe whatever Ye Yongjia says, and even my own son will be intimidated! Maybe it's because of the events of the year, but my brother's death is not my fault alone, how can I remember it today! It's better to give up the position of prince to Ye Yongjia! ”

A trace of horror appeared on Lan Yuan's face, and then he smiled calmly: "Your Highness is disturbed by this matter, as long as the emperor gives us a chance to breathe, then everything will be easy to say." ”

The crown prince raised his head suspiciously: "If you follow what you say, the Taisu is solved, will this king be safe?" Alas, I only want to save my life now, even if I give up the name of the prison country, and stay away from government affairs from now on! ”

Lan Yuan tried his best to comfort him: "This plan is foolproof, don't worry." Your Highness must not have the idea of retreating, you must move forward decisively, and fight with the Ye Party! ”

After hearing this, the prince still couldn't sigh for a long time: "That's it, now I can only resign myself to fate...... I'll listen to all the readings of the Lan Waiter, and you won't let me down! ”

Cunzhao was held in a corner cell, surrounded by cold, and he slept against the hard wall with only a straw mat, shivering as he slept.

Suddenly, as if he had been awakened by freezing, he opened his eyes, heard footsteps in a daze, and hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

The prison door squeaked, and I saw that it was the prince's attendant, Lan Yuan, who came.

"Lord Lan?" Cun Zhao's eyes suddenly brightened, he lifted the mat, crawled over and grabbed one of Lan Yuan's legs, "The crown prince has finally come to save the old emperor?" ”

Lan Yuan's face was like a flat lake, and he raised his mouth and sneered: "Who is the old imperial uncle?" It can't be that criminal who is too suing, right? As he spoke, he pointed into the distance.

"You ......" Cun Zhao took two steps back, his eyes glazed again, "Even if you can't save us, you can't say that......"

"Now isn't the time for you to talk about it?" Lan Yuan's words were full of murderous aura, "What a gut, you have involved the crown prince, who dares to protect you now?" ”

Cun Zhao's heart was shocked, and there was a crisp sound of 'buzzing' in his ears, and he said after a while: "Lord Lan, it was Chen and Ye who forced me to say it, and it was they who ...... it."

"Still talking!" Lan Yuan threw his sleeves and was furious, ignoring his feelings at all, "That night, you spared no effort to slander your comrades Chen, but you didn't know that they had already handed in their confessions, and even risked their deaths!" On the other hand, you deliberately deceived the prince and dragged His Royal Highness into the water! Let me tell you, the reason why I dare to come to Dali Temple is because I believe in Siqing and believe in the 'Chen Dang' in your mouth! ”

"What?" Cun Zhao sat up in disbelief, how could he have thought that the clever plan he thought he was proud of had died in the first place!

"Fortunately, His Highness hid this hand, otherwise it would have been a miserable misery for you! Now that you have aroused the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people, you will be beheaded both of you to prove the prince's innocence! Lan Yuan took a step forward and approached his face.

Cun Zhao felt hopeless, spit out a few trembling breaths, and tears rolled down his empty eyes.

"But the crown prince is still merciful," Lan Yuan slowly paced behind him, looking up at the window as he said, "He still regards you as a brother and wants you to continue to assist his father." ”

After hearing this, Cun Zhao swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at Lan Yuan, and looked at the gods like a god: "Really? ”

"How can it be fake? But you have harmed the prince to this point, and you need to atone for your sins. ”

"I will change my mind and face when I am in the next place, I will do my best for the prince, and I will admit it at a price!"

Lan Yuan lowered his head with a slight smile: "This price is actually not too high, as long as you retract your confession once and denounce Taisu, the prince will be able to spare you!" ”

"Sue the old emperor?" Cun Zhaoyan frowned.

"Yes," Lan Yuan continued, "this guy conspired with Lu Xinzhong to cause a catastrophe and get you involved. What you should do is to wash away all the responsibilities on your body and kill your relatives with righteousness! ”

"But ......"

"Where did it come from?" Lan Yuan's face was fierce, and his attitude was very tough, "This matter has nothing to do with you!" Do you understand? ”

"I ......" Cun Zhao had already responded in his heart, but as soon as he spit out a word, his eyebrows wrinkled deeper and became more uncertain. He clenched a finger and pondered sharply the choice at hand: whether to be the cowardly man who escaped from the battle, or the brave man who looked at death as if he were home.

It may be that there is no justice in dying at this time, but as one of the people involved in the plot, if he escapes responsibility and blames others, I am afraid that he will have a bad conscience. He has always considered himself a gentleman who dares to act, even in the face of the powerful Liu Party, he has never been greedy for life and afraid of death. But now, he hesitated.

The cold wind blew, he shivered twice, looked at the half-open prison door, looked at Lan Yuan's bright official uniform, and couldn't help thinking: "Although I made a secret agreement with Eunuch Lu back then, the matter of making money was urged by my uncle to agree, and I was forced to be helpless, but in fact, it was not my intention; As for their misdeeds after that, although I knew about them and did not report them, I never joined them...... Besides, what can I do with such a greedy and shameless person? It's better to retract the confession in person, so that Taisu can get the retribution he deserves! ’

After thinking about it in this way, his psychology became much more comfortable, but he felt that he was eliminating harm for the people, and he still did not lose the style of a gentleman. So he knelt down awe-inspiring towards Lan Yuan's feet: "I am willing to serve the prince!" As long as someone asks, I will retract my confession without question! ”

"Good!" Lan Yuan laughed a few times, and then made a long bow to him, "Cunsi Ban can change his mind and face, how can the lower officials dare to blame?" Hurry up, please! Cun Zhao was overjoyed, immediately suppressed his tears, stood up, and thanked Lan Yuan a few times.

"It's sad to see you in the cold here. Come! Take a robe and put it on the storage ban! ”

Lan Yuan said that, two jailers held an old robe in their hands and put it on Cun Zhao. Cun Zhao's body was not cold for a moment, and he happily pinched the pair of cuffs, as if he had felt the majesty of the past, and the day of reinstatement seemed to be approaching.

"It's good to be warm......" Lan Yuan slowly left.
