Royal Palace, East Palace.
Although the prince is still in mourning and has not ascended the throne, his expenses in all aspects are already comparable to those of a king.
Qin Yanran was taken to the East Palace early in the morning, and with the help of the palace maid, she bathed and changed clothes.
At this time, she was dressed in a light yellow and beautiful peony dress, which supported her beyond words.
But her face was as cold as ice, colder than icebergs and snow lotuses.
"Girl, what are you unhappy about? For a death row prisoner like you to be able to walk out of the prison, that's God's mercy."
"Not to mention that now, you are still favored by the prince. The prince is the future king of the country. When the mourning period is over, the prince will ascend the throne and rule the world."
"As long as you serve the prince well, will there be less glory and wealth in the future?"
"Do you know that the clothes you are wearing now can only be worn by noble concubines in normal times. The prince ordered someone to make this gorgeous clothes specially for you, which shows how much the prince dotes on the girl. When the prince ascends the throne, the least you can do is You have to be made a concubine too!”
"Hurry up and smile. The prince will be here soon. If the girl accidentally angers the prince with her cold look, the consequences will be disastrous."
…
The vicinity of Tianlao has been firmly occupied by Cheng Party's troops. Not even a fly can fly into Tianlao, and not a mosquito can fly out from Tianlao.
On a tall building directly opposite Tianlao, Cheng Xun was sitting on the Taishi chair, sipping tea with contentment, waiting for Ye Tian to be arrested.
"It should be almost time!"
Cheng Xun glanced at the sun that had not yet reached its zenith.
He knew that Ye Tian had the wind spirit talisman in his hand, so it shouldn't be too late.
"No one has come to report the news yet!" Cheng Yu stood behind Cheng Xun and said respectfully.
At this moment, a figure flew up to the tall building and knelt on one knee to report.
"Report to the Prince Regent that a suspicious person has appeared and is heading towards the Heavenly Prison!"
Cheng Xun raised his eyebrows and asked calmly: "Why is it suspicious?"
The visitor glanced at Cheng Xun and said, "It's Cheng Zijin from the Cheng family. He should be patrolling outside the city now and should not appear in the inner city."
Cheng Xun sneered and said, "It looks like he is that little thief Ye Tian!"
There were very few pedestrians on the street in front of Tianlao, and it looked deserted and desolate.
A man with a strong back and a strong waist strode towards Tianlao with his hands behind his back. He was majestic and looked like a person who was not easy to mess with.
People passing by stayed away.
This person is none other than Cheng Zijin of the Cheng family.
Cheng Zijin came to the gate of Tianlao and was stopped by the soldiers guarding Tianlao.
He scolded unhappily: "If you don't open your eyes, I'm a member of the Cheng family. I'm here to check the situation in the prison on the order of the regent, so get out of here!"
"You're pretending to be someone else and yet you're so arrogant!"
The Cheng Party master hiding in the dark gritted his teeth secretly.
"Cheng Zijin is like this. If Ye Tian is not like this, it will arouse suspicion."
"Ye Tian's disguise skills are so good. Not only do they look and sound alike, but they also behave exactly the same. If it weren't for the regent's superior skills, he might have fooled him into trying to rescue those people today!"
"The regent is strategizing and predicting events like a god. How could little thief Ye Tian escape from the regent's grasp?"
"The regent has given the order, take action!"
Swish, swish, swish...
In an instant, the deserted Tianlao was surrounded by experts.
There were layers of siege on the ground and in the sky, making it difficult for Cheng Zijin to fly.
"You...what are you doing?"
Cheng Zijin looked around and was shocked.
"Cheng Zijin, you should be patrolling outside the city, what are you doing here?" a master of the Cheng family scolded.
"I...I came here to check the situation in the prison on the order of the regent. What on earth are you doing?" Cheng Zijin said with a look of fear.
His speech also became stuttering, and he no longer looked as arrogant as before.
"Really? When will I order you to check on the situation in the prison?" A joking voice sounded.
In the southern sky, the masters of the Cheng Party stepped aside. Cheng Xun floated in with his hands behind his back, followed closely by Cheng Yu.
"Regent...regent!" Cheng Zijin turned pale with shock, a flash of fear and uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and he tremblingly cupped his fists and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to the regent."
Cheng Xun angrily said: "Tell me, when will I order you to come and check the situation in the prison?"
Cheng Zijin took several steps back and became incoherent.
Cheng Xun sneered and said: "Let me answer for you. Because you are not Cheng Zijin at all, you are Ye Tian."
Cheng Zijin's face changed for a while, and finally turned into gloom and chill, and he said angrily: "Cheng Xun, you old thief, how did you know that I came out of the Xuanhu Secret Realm? How did you know that I was coming to Jietian Prison? of?"
Cheng Xun said proudly: "I left a mark of my consciousness on Cheng Wu. The moment you killed Cheng Wu, I knew it was you. When you come out of the mysterious realm of Xuan Lake, you will definitely come as soon as possible. The heavenly prison is here to save people, so I have set up a dragnet to wait for you here in advance. It’s as simple as that. Little thief, you are too young to go against me!"
Cheng Zijin looked around, with madness, powerlessness, despair and other expressions flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Cheng Xun, I have to say, this time, I was careless and fell into the trap of you, an old thief." treacherous plot."
Cheng Xun looked down at Cheng Zijin with a victor's attitude and said, "You say that, are you accepting your fate?"
"Accept your fate?" Cheng Zijin sneered and looked at everyone, "Maybe I will die here today. But if you want to kill me, you must be prepared to pay a heavy price."
No one dares to question this.
Cheng Xun said in a deep voice: "Ye Tian, you want to die, and I will not stop you. But don't forget, your sister, your friend, and your mentor are still in my hands. Do you also want to Are they dead?"
Cheng Xun paused and then said: "I can't give you a chance. As long as you tell me all the secrets about you and hand over the peerless magic weapon to me, I will not kill you." , and will also release your sister, your friends and your mentor."
Cheng Zijin said mockingly: "Cheng Xun, the Cheng family and I have been fighting to the death for a long time. Can I believe what you say?"
Cheng Xun said sonorously and forcefully: "I keep my word and never break my word."
Cheng Zijin lowered his head, lost in thought and entanglement.
After a while, he raised his head, stared at Cheng Xun, and said without any doubt: "I can promise you, but only if you let me see my sister, my friends, my teacher and others first."
Cheng Xun said: "This is simple, but how can I know that you are not deceiving me? Give me the peerless magic weapon first, and I will believe in your sincerity and immediately send someone to bring those people to see you. you."
