The carriage stopped at noon, Xiao Zhiche hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked in the direction of the cell, his steps a little vain.

The red walls and yellow tiles beside him seemed to be laughing at his panic, and the palace maids and eunuchs who passed by were all silent and hurried, and no one noticed him.

The moonlight faded pale, and the shadow fell, enveloping the boxy, oppressive silence of the cell ahead.

Xiao Zhiche was ten steps away, he breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the two sleepy guards standing in front of the big prison, immediately put away the worry between his eyebrows, secretly clenched his fists, pretended to be majestic, waved his sleeve robe and walked over.

"Who's coming?!"

The two guards woke up and immediately blocked the way with their hands.

"Presumptuous! dare to block the path of this prince!"

Xiao Zhiche looked at it coldly, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

"The Prince?"

The guard on one side muttered quietly, glaring at his companion.

"I haven't seen it either, have you seen it, second?"

The other guard was wincing.

"Good dogs don't get in the way, are you going to offend this prince, or do you want to offend today's saints!"

Xiao Zhiche's tone was full of threat, and he waved the guard's hand away and strode straight in.

"This?"

"What's the situation?"

Just left the two guards looking at each other.

As soon as he entered the prison, Xiao Zhiche covered his mouth and nose, obviously the smell inside was damp and rancid, and there were one or two black and gray rats running by from time to time.

There were a lot of people in the prison, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles, and their eyes were blank lying on the straw mats in the corners.

Xiao Zhiche frowned, and kept looking around, he was looking for the white moonlight in his heart, the innocent girl under the moon.

"Daddy... Don't sleep... Wake up...", a slight sobbing sound was heard.

Xiao Zhiche was startled, and walked quickly towards the source of the sound. I saw Su Yilan wearing a dispersion, with tears in her apricot eyes, looking at Su's father who was dying opposite, kneeling beside the cell door and beating the wooden pillar desperately, crying silently, the goose yellow dress had already been stained with spots, and she was depressed.

"Sue... Yi Lan..."Xiao Zhiche's voice trembled, and he slowly walked over and squatted down to look at the woman who was crying.

"Of... Brother Zhiche... Why are you here?"

Su Yilan raised her head, her voice hoarse.

"It's okay, I'll save you. Xiao Zhiche's eyes were full of distress, touched Su Yilan's head, and said comfortingly.

"Brother Zhiche... We didn't poison ... Woo woo, Daddy was wronged..."

Su Yilan seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, passed through the wooden pillar, tightly hugged Xiao Zhiche's arm, and was full of crying and screaming despair.

"Elan, I know, I know, don't worry, it'll be fine. ”

Xiao Zhiche gently wiped the ash on Su Yilan's face.

"Brother Zhiche... Look at why my dad hasn't woken up yet..."

Su Yilan's eyes stared forward stupidly, and her hands slipped weakly.

"Okay" He got up and took a deep look, Su's father's face was serene, as if he was relieved.

Xiao Zhiche seemed to have an answer and didn't dare to confirm it, and there was a fine sweat on his forehead to stop talking.

"Brother Zhiche, how is it..."Su Yilan was nervous and anxious.

Xiao Zhiche's eyes darkened, and he couldn't bear to tell the truth to the person in front of him.

"Knock-knock-"

The dull and mournful bell suddenly rang, interrupting everything, it was the death knell.

There seemed to be a mess outside, as if they were all crying and shouting, and in an instant, Xiao Zhiche's face was pale, and he looked at Su Yilan in disbelief.

"Brother Zhiche... Why don't you speak. Su Yilan shook his robe.

"Yilan, you wait for me to come back to save you!"

Xiao Zhiche immediately got up, reluctantly glanced at Su Yilan, left a sentence and rushed out.

"Hmm... I'll wait for you, Brother Zhiche..."It wasn't until the back was far away that Su Yilan hugged her legs, curled up in the corner, and muttered to herself.

At this time, the moon was cold, and the palace was full of mourning, and they all knelt on the ground, howling and weeping bitterly.

"Father... What are you doing on your knees, get up!"

Xiao Zhiche staggered in the direction of the Taiji Palace, and the scene he saw along the way made him lose control of his emotions, and he yelled at the eunuchs loudly.

"Ouch, the sixth prince, you are here, Xiao Lingzi is looking for you!"

Xiao Lingzi didn't know where to go with the wooden barrel, and suddenly saw Xiao Zhiche's crazy appearance, so he pulled him past and hid behind the door.

"You tell me, it's not true..."

Xiao Zhiche came back to his senses and hurriedly pulled Xiao Lingzi's shirt and asked.

"Sixth prince, let's go, let's go, now that the emperor has gone west, the eldest prince must be the one who inherits the throne... The eldest prince can't hold sand in his eyes, let's go back to Fengxiao Courtyard quickly!"

Xiao Lingzi lowered his voice and looked around.

"What the hell is going on, where you want to go with the barrel, you must know more than me!"

"Ouch, my ancestor, the Taiji Hall is not manpowered, the Grand Duke has called us, Xiao Lingzi also heard, I heard that the big imperial chef poisoned the food, more than a year, the emperor this... It's... Let's go, Six Princes!"

Xiao Lingzi was flustered and anxious.

"I can't tolerate sand, I'm going to ask for it!"

Xiao Zhiche's eyes were grim, and he looked at the Taiji Hall not far away.

"Eh, eh, the sixth prince, where are you going!

Xiao Lingzi didn't dare to make a loud noise, shook his head and picked up the barrel and left.

Outside the Taiji Palace, Qiu Zhong led the Imperial Forest Army to go around, and there were a group of people kneeling at the entrance of the hall, the princes and nobles, concubines and palace maids, and the kneeling person was Xiao Yitian.

"The emperor's edict: Xiao Yitian, the crown prince, has a generous character, is bold and brave, and he will be able to inherit the unification and succeed me to the throne, that is, the emperor. Order—"

The shrill voice of the great eunuch resounded in the sky.

Xiao Yitian hooked his lips lightly without anyone noticing, and wanted to get up to accept the order.

"Wait!!" the voice didn't arrive.

Xiao Zhiche strode onto the high platform and stood outside the hall, meeting everyone's stunned eyes.

"What is this doing? Xiao Yitian immediately got up, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he said softly: "Chief Qiu Wei, still not coming?!"

Suddenly, the Imperial Forest Army drew out the long sword they were wearing and surrounded the high platform.

"Brother, is you panicking, you are really a well-dressed beast, you killed your father under the pretense of Su Da's imperial chef, in order to achieve your goal of usurping the throne, such a scheme, my brother really admires!" Xiao Zhiche was not afraid, and said coldly.

"Heh, what are you talking about? The Imperial Doctor is still here, and the food hasn't passed through my hands!

Xiao Yitian pretended to be innocent, waved his hand and slowly walked to Xiao Zhiche's side.

"Yes, yes, the eldest prince found out the truth and caught the murderer, so that our emperor could be blinded!" Liu Gonggong, who read out the edict on the side, wiped his cold sweat and said hurriedly.

"Reversing right and wrong! Black is being said by you in vain! Imperial Chef Su watched us grow up, how could we harm our father's heart! Ministers, think about it!"

But the kneeling princes and nobles were silent, as if they had already counted which side they were leaning towards.

"The sixth prince lost his mind and went crazy, Qiu Zhong took him to the inner hall to rest, you, go in and have a look. ”

Xiao Yitian sneered, and pointed to the nearest imperial doctor with an expressionless face.

"Let's go, Sixth Prince, don't be ignorant. Qiu Zhong looked disdainful, and whispered an admonition to carry Xiao Zhiche to the inner hall.

"Xiao Yitian, you cover the sky with one hand!

"Why don't you go and see Zhiche's illness?" Xiao Yitian kicked the overwhelmed imperial doctor.

"Yes!"

The Imperial Doctor hooked his back and cowered.

"Grandpa Liu, go on!"

Xiao Yitian looked at the back, his eyes were full of viciousness.

The night is not destined to be peaceful, but the morning sun will rise tomorrow as always.
