Zhan Xinglan was just about to enter the door when he happened to hear Bailimo's words.

Surprised, she accidentally hit the door frame, and the decoction in her hand was also knocked to the ground by the door frame.

"Princess?"

Baili Mo saw Zhan Xinglan who was stunned, and immediately got up to salute her.

Zhan Xinglan coughed lightly twice and walked into the room.

"No courtesy. Sit down."

"Yes, Princess."

"I heard you say just now that the Holy King is not going to save the tenth princess, but to save me, where do you start with this?"

"This ...... It's just a subordinate's speculation."

Baili Mo lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Zhan Xinglan's eyes.

"Baili, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, it's the same if I go directly to ask the prince."

"Princess, please stay!"

"Tell me, what the hell is going on? What are you hiding from me? Who is the Holy King?"

Zhan Xinglan asked three questions in a row, straight to the point.

Bai Limo instantly regretted that he had stopped her.

Anyway, the paper can't hold the fire, so it's okay to just say it.

"In fact, the Holy King is Wenren Langjun, and his biological mother is the Empress Dowager Li of Dunli. At first, the prince only thought that the Holy King was coming for you, but later, the prince found out that the Holy King seemed to be deliberately hiding his identity in front of you."

"Therefore, the prince also tried his best to hide it from the princess, and didn't want you to add to your troubles."

"No wonder when the Holy King came to the door that day to ask for an audience, the prince turned him away. It's no wonder that the Holy King would go out of his way to save the tenth sister, it turned out that he listened to the rumors outside and thought that the kidnapped person was me."

Zhan Xinglan was suddenly a little moved.

Even if Wen Renzhuo concealed his identity and didn't want to disturb her life, when she was in danger, he would still be desperate to save her.

"Princess Niangniang, the prince is hiding it from you, also because he cares about you, don't be angry with him."

"Yes, after all, they are rivals in love, and it is reasonable for the prince to hide something."

"Okay, you two don't worry, I won't blame the prince."

Zhan Xinglan knew that Fu Xuanlin did this because he cared about her, so naturally he would not be angry with him for this matter.

It's just that she suddenly learned the truth, and her heart is still a little awkward.

Zhan Xinglan walked out of Zhuhuan's courtyard and went to Zijin Hall.

But halfway through, she met Tian'er who came to look for her.

Tian'er panted and said, "Sister, just now Ye Fu Yin sent someone to say that Yuan Zhicheng was transferred to Dali Temple Prison. Before leaving, he said, "I want to see you."

"He's a dying man, what do you want me to do?"

"Sister, this person has hurt the tenth princess and Sister Zhu Huan so badly, don't go to see him."

"Isn't Tian'er afraid that he will be bad for me in prison?"

"Well, Brother Qingchen taught me that it is indispensable to guard against others."

"He's just a prisoner right now, how can he hurt me?" Zhan Xinglan touched Tian'er's cheek, "Tian'er, if the prince comes back later and comes back to find me, you can tell the truth." In addition, prepare another table of banquets, and I will have a hearty drink with the prince tonight."

"Sweetheart understands."

Ding Tian watched Zhan Xinglan walk away with worry in his eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he felt.

[No, that Yuan Zhicheng is so vicious, how good would it be if my sister went to his way. 】

Thinking of this, Tian'er immediately turned around and rushed towards Zijintang.

As an exclusive place for Zhan Xinglan, Zijin Hall has become another meeting place for the leaders of Lingwang Pavilion in the Ling Palace.

After all, Zhan Xinglan's current identity is Princess Ling, and if he runs to Qianerzhuang, it will inevitably attract attention.

It's better to let the peerless Li Qingchen come and go to the Lingwang Mansion.

Anyway, Fu Xuanlin also knew the identity of Zhan Xinglan Lingyue Pavilion Master, so he would naturally open the door for Li Qingchen.

Zijintang——

A dashing and wanton, vigorous and neat figure, like a whistling wind in the mountains flying over the eaves and walls in the courtyard.

"Brother Qingchen."

Tian'er's voice was ethereal and sweet, and she could coax Li Qingchen to stop practicing martial arts with just one sound.

Li Qingchen stood on one foot in the canopy, his arms as if he had spread his wings.

When he saw Tian'er looking at him, he flew down, like a fairy.

"Tian'er is in a hurry, but something happened to the pavilion master?"

"My sister didn't have an accident, but the one named Yuan Zhicheng was escorted to Dali Temple before he was imprisoned, saying that he wanted to see his sister. Tian'er is worried that the old puppet will be bad for her sister, so she wants to ask Brother Qingchen to protect her sister."

"Okay, I'll go."

After saying that, Li Qingchen performed light skills and disappeared on the cornice.

Li Qingchen's light skills are excellent, and before Zhan Xinglan arrived at Dali Temple, he was already waiting on the roof of the Dali Temple Prison.

The prison of Dali Temple is divided into three places, and this secret prison has always held criminals who are about to be beheaded and whose crimes cannot be made public.

Li Qingchen thought that this matter involved the tenth princess, presumably Yuan Zhicheng was locked up here.

Sure enough, after a while, he saw Zhan Xinglan on the roof, who came with all the money, and Feng Futian, the Dali Temple Qing who led her way.

Feng Futian raised his hand and said respectfully:

"Princess Ling, this is the secret prison where Yuan Zhicheng is imprisoned. Because the crimes they committed involved the honor of the Ten Princesses, His Majesty specially ordered them to be held in solitary confinement here."

"Fortunately, not many people know about this matter, and they haven't publicized it, otherwise it would not be as simple as beheading him elsewhere."

"What Princess Ling said is very true. It's just that Yuan Zhicheng's original target was you, Niangniang, although he failed to succeed, and the rumors about you have long since subsided, it is really worrying that he is so desperate to ask to see you."

"Feng Da Liqing doesn't have to worry, if you want to die, her words are good, and this princess will go back when she goes."

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Feng Futian had no choice but to say:

"In this case, then the Wechen will lead people to wait here, and if you are in danger, we can save you in time."

"There is Lao Feng Daliqing."

A group of guards stood on both sides of the gate.

Zhan Xinglan entered the secret prison under the gaze of everyone.

The Hell goes straight underground.

Descend the stairs to the dark corridor.

The flickering candles on both sides can only illuminate the short distance.

Zhan Xinglan didn't know how long he had been gone, but it was only about five minutes.

In short, this mysterious passage made her feel very uncomfortable, and there was a feeling of pressing her chest and breathless.

Finally, she walked out of the corridor, and her eyes were much wider.

If you continue to walk forward, you will see the cell that rises to the top.

Unlike the other cells, this one is spacious, but it is surrounded by iron fences and the floor of the cell is impregnable iron plates.

Above the cell, a gray light shone down.

On weekdays, when prison meals are given to convicts, they are put down from a well-like place above the cell.

Although this cell was large, Zhan Xinglan still saw Yuan Zhicheng sitting in the center with his hair scattered at a glance.

"Yuan Zhanshi, don't come unharmed."

"I didn't expect that Princess Ling really dared to come."

Yuan Zhicheng raised his head, a strand of withered gray hair blocking one of his eyes.

Zhan Xinglan smiled indifferently, "Yuan Zhan said this so strangely, why didn't I dare to come?"

"I'm hell-bent on killing you to avenge my son, so you should avoid it."

"Yuan Mingzhe has tried to mistreat the Qiu family's lady three times and twice, and he doesn't know how many women in Yanyunlou have been brutalized over the years, he was assigned to serve in the army, he is to blame, what does it have to do with me?"

"Hmph, I knew that Zhe'er was framed by you and King Ling!"

"Yes, I did frame him, but he also lived to be punished

Should. As for his death, it has nothing to do with me."

"Clever words." Yuan Zhicheng snorted disdainfully, "Zhe'er's death was all because you framed him, so he was sent to that ghost place in Qinzhou, and you are the culprit who killed him!" I, Yuan Zhicheng, can't avenge Zhe'er in this life, and I will definitely kill you with my own hands in the next life!"

Zhan Xinglan sat on the chair opposite Yuan Zhicheng and cocked Erlang's legs.

"Yuan Zhicheng, since you believe that I am the culprit, then I will tell you well, who did your precious son Yuan Mingzhe die."

"What do you want to say?"

Zhan Xinglan raised his eyebrows and said:

"Yesterday, Yuan Shuyi came to visit me and pleaded with me on behalf of his father. It just so happened that I also learned something about Yuan Mingzhe from him."

"Speaking of which, Yuan Mingzhe is really pitiful. He lost his mother at a young age, and when this child was still immersed in the pain of losing his mother, his father was already a newcomer in his arms, and even threw him into someone else's house for Wang Ying'er."

Yuan Zhicheng's eyes widened, and his fists were clenched.

"What do you know, Ying'er was pregnant at the time, and Zhe'er was stubborn, thinking about bullying Ying'er all day long. I didn't have the skills, and I couldn't bear to suffer both Zhe'er and Ying'er, so I sent him to Qiu's house!"

"Yuan Zhicheng, you are really deaf and blind, and your heart is dizzy. Yuan Mingzhe was just a little child at the time, why did he bully Wang Ying'er? Have you ever wondered why?"

"He couldn't see Ying'er living in the house where his aunt lived and using the things that his aunt used. But I can understand that."

"No, he will bully Wang Ying'er because he overheard Wang Ying'er and the maidservant tell the truth about his aunt's death. Back then, Wang Ying'er secretly communicated with you, and she was pregnant, so you wanted to welcome her into the house."

"But the Yuan family already has a lady, even if Wang Ying'er enters the door of the Yuan family, she can only be a little wife. How could Wang Ying'er be willing? Therefore, she joined forces with the servant women of her original spouse to kill your first wife."

"It can't be!"

"Nothing impossible, after Yuan Shuyi told me about it, I immediately sent someone to investigate, that servant woman killed your wife and returned to her hometown, but she felt guilty, and she could dream of the tragic death of his wife every night."

"So before she died, she wrote down everything and gave it to her daughter to keep it, so that one day she could return justice to her wife."

"Now this letter is in my hand, and the evidence is ironclad, so you can't believe it."

Yuan Zhicheng lowered his head when he heard this, and the shoulders of the two shoulders that were bleeding from the whip couldn't stop trembling.

"Impossible...... No way...... Ying'er, she won't do that."

"Until now, you still excuse Wang Ying'er. Yuan Mingzhe watched his father pamper his mother-killing enemy, so his psychology gradually became distorted and perverted. He pestered Chu Yan and abused and bullied innocent women, all because he hated Wang Ying'er, and hated you for aiding and abetting abuse!"

"Shut up!"

"I don't! Yuan Zhicheng, think about it again, who killed Yuan Mingzhe? Is it me, or you and Wang Ying'er? When he was alive, you didn't care about him, and when he died, you came to take revenge, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"Enough! You get out! I don't want to see you!"

Zhan Xinglan looked at the crazy Yuan Zhicheng, and a chill appeared in his heart.

There is nothing worse than killing people.

But at least Yuan Zhicheng knew the truth before he died, and it was not an unclear death.

She slowly got up and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Yuan Zhicheng rushed towards her like crazy.
