And at this moment in the dungeon, Zhao Yi seems to have known the result, they are now under the prince's mansion, in the dungeon, but this dungeon is hidden, and the entrance is not in the prince's mansion.

When they passed by the gate of the Prince's Mansion just now, they also heard the conversation between Xiao Ce and Xiao Sheng, and Li Hanning heard it clearly, it was indeed Xiao Ce's voice.

It's just that the cellar was soundproofed from the inside, and her mouth was blocked with something, and there was no way to speak.

At that time, she heard Xiao Ce say, "If you have to make a choice before Han Ning and these people behind me, then I will choose them." ”

Li Hanning, who heard this, couldn't help but stagnate, but was soon pushed forward by the people behind her, and now she was firmly tied to the stake in the middle of the dungeon in the deepest part of the dungeon.

Zhao Yi looked at Li Hanning's expression at this moment, thinking of what Xiao Ce said at that time, he suddenly felt a little pity for her.

"So in the eyes of those of them, the birds are good and the bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooking, and Luoyang still needs to fight when they think we are important, but now they don't need it, and we will become dispensable when we get in the way."

Zhao Yi felt that Li Hanning's loyalty seemed a little pitiful and ridiculous at this moment.

Li Hanning didn't want to speak, turned her head sideways and didn't even want to look at Zhao Yi, she was tied to a wooden stake with an iron chain, the dungeon here was dim and could not see the light of day, but there were a few faintly glowing night pearls on the surrounding walls to barely illuminate.

She knew why Xiao Ce made this choice, and she also knew that it was not by chance that she heard that conversation, these people wanted her to listen to it, so she could hear it.

Zhao Yi looked at her half-dead appearance, and said tentatively: "Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means very simply, if you are loyal to the prince, the prince can give you far more than Xiao Ce." ”

Li Hanning glanced at Zhao Yi when he heard this, as if he wanted to deliberately provoke him:

"General Zhao doesn't have to waste any more effort on me, now the people of the Ming Palace's Mansion have surrounded the Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Prince in your mouth has fallen into the hands of the King of Ming, your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now difficult to protect himself, if you want to exchange me for him, it is better to save your efforts, you also heard it just now, His Royal Highness the King of Ming will not exchange him."

Zhao Yi was noncommittal to her words, and he also guessed Li Hanning's intentions: "Then you really know your Highness, even if he doesn't care about your life or death, you still treat him so loyally?" ”

Li Hanning calmly looked at the people in front of him, of course they had no way to understand.

Zhao Yi glanced at the soldiers guarding the door, and then looked around at the dungeon here, he had only been here twice, and this time must be the last time.

Zhao Yi set off to leave, but when he walked to the door, he stopped as if he remembered something, and glanced back at Li Hanning:

"I advise General Li not to rush to kill himself here, the general probably doesn't know one more thing, the general used to have a doctor from the palace go to your Ming Wangfu to diagnose you, that doctor was also favored by the prince's mansion, I was on the side at the time, and the doctor hid your situation from you at that time, so you and Xiao Ce probably didn't know one thing."

Li Hanning originally thought that it was just a normal diagnosis, because she and Xiao Ce had both suffered from the epidemic in Chang'an, even if they had been cured, there would be doctors in the palace to help diagnose and treat them every once in a while, but this is now a thing of the past.

Zhao Yi looked at Li Hanning: "General, you probably don't know that you are pregnant, I heard the doctor say that the child in your womb should be more than three months now." ”

When Li Hanning heard the news, his eyes immediately widened, and he blurted out almost in disbelief: "What did you say? ”

Although this news came unexpectedly, Li Hanning almost understood that it was true the moment he knew it.

During the time she returned to Luoyang, she had been a little drowsy, always had no appetite, and always felt very tired.

Three months ago, just before she left Chang'an for southern Xinjiang, the time was right.

Zhao Yi saw her somewhat stunned expression, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart, but kindness to others is cruelty to himself, they have different positions, and that's all he can do for his friends who have been born and died together in the military camp.

Zhao Yi didn't know why he said these words, maybe he was afraid that Li Hanning would commit suicide when he was alone and lose his life in vain, or that she used to be a friend, but she shouldn't treat herself as a friend now, why did she do so much.

Zhao Yi turned around, the stone door behind him slowly closed, and everything in the dungeon suddenly fell silent.

Li Hanning moved her arm and wanted to move her wrist, but those chains almost hurt her wrist, and she really couldn't break free.

The only sounds around her were the sound of her chains and the sound of water dripping from nowhere.

It took a long time for Li Hanning to convince herself to calm down, she took a serious look at the surrounding dungeon, this dungeon was just below the prince's mansion, she was locked in the innermost, since they didn't kill her now, it proved that she still had the value of being used, she had to find a way to escape from here.

When I came to this dungeon, there was a section of the road, and I listened to the people above, and I heard it very clearly, presumably the passage of the dungeon was not deep, and there was a chance to escape from there.

In fact, on the street where she saw Zhao Yi, she also used the sword in her hand to leave a code before she was arrested, but because Zhao Yi was also a person in Xiao Ce's military camp, they did not use the code between their military camps, but used the code used when she was still in Li's house before.

There are also secret agents of the Li family in Luoyang City, and they can only hope that Xiao Ce will know that after he is captured by Xiao Sheng, he will send someone to find her, and the news of her disappearance will spread, and the people of the Li family will know.

But it's better to ask for others than for herself, she still has to find her own way.

Li Hanning sighed heavily, if he hadn't underestimated the enemy at that time, didn't leave the Ming Wangfu with Chu Zhou, but temporarily detained Chu Zhou in the Ming Wangfu overnight, wouldn't the situation be different now.

If Zhao Yi hadn't told her the news of her pregnancy, she might be able to beg for death with peace of mind now, and she would never be a drag on Xiao Ce.

But now, even for the sake of the child in her womb, she has to find a way to survive as much as possible.

*

The sky gradually turned white, and the surrounding roosters also sounded one after another, and the entire Luoyang City seemed to have gradually woken up from the darkness, and began to be populated one after another.

Xiao Ce's side naturally had no sleep all night.

Lu Changfeng led people to search all night in the city, but there was still no gain, and when he went back to recover his life during the day, he stood at Xiao Ce's door, hesitating and not daring to go in.

He didn't know how to speak, their Highness must have been sleepless all night last night, waiting for the results of their search, and now this news was afraid that it would disappoint him again.

Xiao Ce saw the figure at the door for a while, there were not many people who would come at this hour, and he had already guessed that it was Lu Changfeng.

"Come in."

Lu Changfeng took a step and walked in, but he didn't take a few steps before he said:

"Back to Your Highness, I didn't find the whereabouts of General Li last night."

Xiao Ce nodded and said that he knew, he had long known that it was this answer, it was his imperial brother's last hole card, of course, he would not let them find Li Hanning like that.

Lu Changfeng thought of something and said: "Your Highness, the people are awake during the day, so I will send people to post notices looking for General Li everywhere in Luoyang City." ”

Xiao Ce opened his mouth and said: "After those notices are written, take them to Dali Temple and let Zhang Jaw be stamped with the seal of the official government, and say that anyone who can provide the whereabouts of Hanning will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, and the official will be crowned a thousand households." ”

Even if the hope is small, they have to give it a try.

Lu Changfeng said: "Yes, Your Highness, it's dawn right now, and the palace side-"

Xiao Ce flicked his sleeves when he heard this, and quickly stood up, he will not regret the things he did last night in the future, but these things do have to be explained to his father, just like what should come will always come.

Xiao Ce glanced at Lu Changfeng: "You take me into the palace first." ”

"Yes."

The civil and military officials in Luoyang City, although they also faintly heard about yesterday's events, but today they were still dressed neatly, wearing the clothes of their courtiers, and came to the gate of the main hall where they used to go to the court, but they were unsurprisingly blocked by those guards.

These guards guarding the palace had long been replaced by Lu Changfeng with their people.

One of the ministers asked indignantly, "What do you mean?" ”

They rebelled again, and they even had to stop them from going to court normally?

The guard explained to them, "Your Majesty is not feeling well today, please go back and don't embarrass us." ”

One of the ministers felt a little strange: "But Your Majesty's obviously went to court yesterday." ”

And because Your Majesty always seems to be in good spirits, and has set to go to court today, how could he suddenly feel unwell overnight?

Some of the ministers, who were already aware of the situation, stood silent in the crowd.

Xiao Ce walked over slowly with Lu Changfeng: "Ladies and gentlemen. ”

The crowd immediately fell silent and looked in his direction.

Xiao Ce said aloud to these civil and military generals in front of him:

"Adults, don't embarrass these guards anymore, they are also the worries of the king, you adults can't ask them what the result is, if you have any questions, you might as well ask me."

What he said was loud, but where did these ministers dare to embarrass him with a heavy army.

Xiao Ce said again: "My father is indeed not feeling well today, they are all old diseases, I believe that you adults also know in your hearts, I entered the palace today to see my father, and when I see my father later, I will also convey my worries for you. ”
