Xiao Yan was not surprised at all by the fourth prince's departure and return. Hearing that he was willing to take over the Lu family's case, he personally went to investigate the person who was flirting with Prince Cheng.
Xiao Yan didn't embarrass him too much. He just told Jinyun to leave someone in Hengting Pavilion to wait for the "appointed" person, and then took the fourth prince to the imperial prison with Tang Ning.
The fourth prince seemed to be afraid that Xiao Yan would misunderstand him, so he explained on the way there: "I just don't want to disappoint my father."
Seeing Xiao Yan nodding his head with a cold expression, the fourth prince looked a little embarrassed and could only turn his head to look at Tang Ning.
"The Lord of Yiyang County also went to prison?" the fourth prince asked.
Tang Ning said "Yes": "The Lu family's affairs are related to my aunt. She has been kept in the dark for many years and has raised her son for more than ten years. I also want to know who has such great ability. Wang Zhenxin, let him trample on my aunt's affection like this."
The fourth prince heard this and said: "Prince Cheng is indeed abominable, and the person who had an affair with him is also extremely shameless. They have an affair without a matchmaker, deceive the world, and confuse the royal bloodline. I will definitely find such a despicable person." Give justice to Princess Cheng."
The imperial edict of peace and separation had not yet come out, and the fourth prince had no idea that Rong Yue had nothing to do with Prince Cheng's palace, but he really despised the woman who was flirting with Prince Cheng.
In his eyes, a woman should be gentle and humble, be polite and self-respecting, and should care more about innocence. What's more, she is a female member of the Lu family. She has been secretly living with Prince Cheng for many years, and even gave birth to the evil son Xie Yin. In the eyes of the fourth prince, The disgust is unabashed.
Tang Ning couldn't help but look at him one more time: "What will happen if Your Highness finds out the person?"
The fourth prince said coldly: "Of course I will leave it to my father to deal with him. Such a shameless person should be shamelessly paraded through the streets and beheaded with thousands of swords to show everyone!"
After he finished speaking, seeing Tang Ning's strange silence, he couldn't help but soften his voice: "Did you scare the county master?"
Tang Ning raised her lips and smiled: "No, I just think His Highness is fair."
A shameless person like Queen Lu should be cut into pieces without a burial place!
The fourth prince didn't hear the implication at all, but was amazed by the smile on Tang Ning's face.
The light in the carriage was not dim, and the eye-catching appearance of the little girl opposite him almost fell into his eyes. Her little face was extremely beautiful, her skin was smooth and fair, and the faint red mark on her face could not be seen clearly unless he looked closely.
At this time, when he tilted his head slightly and smiled, his almond-shaped eyes were gleaming, and the floating smile spread out like ripples, teasing the heartstrings with a hint of charm.
The fourth prince's heart skipped a beat, and when his throat rolled slightly, a shadow suddenly blocked his eyes.
When Xiao Yan raised his eyes, his eyes were full of coldness: "We're here."
"Ah?" The fourth prince was stunned for a moment. He opened the curtain and took a look, only to find that they had arrived in front of the prison.
Unexpectedly, he would be distracted by a girl. The fourth prince rarely blushed: "The county master invites you first."
Tang Ning didn't notice anything was wrong and got off the carriage directly.
Seeing the fourth prince hurriedly following Tang Ning, Xiao Yan looked indifferent, his sword eyes filled with anger. With a flick of his finger, the fourth prince stepped on something as soon as he got off the carriage, and his body tilted and fell to the ground. In front of Tang Ning.
"..."
Tang Ning was startled by his prostrate posture.
The fourth prince quickly got up from the ground with Cheng Ping's help. Seeing Tang Ning's strange face, he could only blush and said, "My foot slipped just now."
Xiao Yan opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, saying coolly: "The road to prison is uneven. Your Highness, please pay more attention to the road."
If he dared to stare at Xiao Haitang again, he would kill him without waiting for the queen to do anything.
…
Someone in the prison had already greeted him, and no one stopped Xiao Yan when he led the people inside. When they arrived at the place where King Cheng was imprisoned, Xiao Yan ordered someone to open the cell door, and a strong fishy smell hit his nostrils.
He pulled Tang Ning back half a step and stood in front of the cell door. He handed Tang Ning a brocade handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and then moved towards the fourth prince who was pushed in unexpectedly.
"Prince Cheng is right here. Your Highness, please judge. I will be waiting for you."
The fourth prince covered his face and turned blue. He didn't know that the prison place would not be too clean, and he had already expected that King Cheng would not be well after being tortured. However, as soon as he came in, he was hit by a smoke that could almost make people faint. He never expected to be surrounded by such a fishy smell.
King Cheng, who was huddled in the corner, had long lost his former glory. His long hair was dry and messy, mixed with mottled white. His body was covered with dried blood, and his legs were twisted and hanging on the ground as if they had no bones, surrounding him. His hands were even bare and without any fingers.
The fourth prince's eyelids twitched, his eyes full of fear. This Xiao Yan was indeed more ruthless than the rumors said.
He couldn't help but glance at a group of things not far from King Cheng. There were mosquitoes and flies on it, and there was half a piece of blood-stained clothing on it, which looked weird.
The fourth prince couldn't help but asked: "Director Xiao, that's..."
"Oh, that, King Cheng's son."
"..."
son? ? ?
son! ! ! !
The fourth prince's eyes widened in horror, and he suddenly remembered that he had vaguely heard someone say that before the incident in Prince Cheng's Mansion, Princess Cheng was pregnant not long ago, and later learned the truth about the past and was stimulated to have an abortion. Could this mess be possible? yes……
He turned his head suddenly, covered his mouth and started to "vomit".
Tang Ning: "..."
Brother, are you in a bad mood to scare the fourth prince like this?
Seeing the fourth prince supporting the servant next to him who was vomiting, Xiao Yan raised his eyelids and said: "Your Majesty is still waiting for a reply regarding the Lu family. If you have anything to say, please ask him immediately. It is not appropriate to stay in the prison for a long time."
Fourth Prince: "..." Can he stop asking? !
At this time, he hated himself for being so mean.
I need to ask more about what you did just now!
And Xiao Yan...
Why would he throw such a thing in jail?
The fourth prince's little face turned pale from vomiting, and he was so disgusted that he finally calmed down a bit after smelling the sachet handed over by Cheng Ping. When he glanced at the mass from the corner of his eye, his stomach suddenly surged with acid.
He held his chest for a long time before suppressing the nausea that almost made him vomit. He turned his back to the other side and tried his best not to look at King Cheng's "son". He only took a few steps to approach King Cheng, then huddled motionless in the corner. King Cheng of the Earth shouted: "Uncle King Cheng."
King Cheng didn't move at all, he just curled up there with his head buried in it, as if he was dead.
The Fourth Prince called out twice but saw no movement. He could only get closer and try to push his shoulder, but as soon as his fingertips touched his clothes, Prince Cheng shook violently and screamed as if he had been stimulated. Make a sound.
"Uncle Cheng, I am..."
The fourth prince was just about to say who he was when he saw King Cheng waving his hand towards him.
He was so frightened that he quickly wanted to retreat, but before he could push him away, Prince Cheng's fingerless, tumor-like hand "bang" landed on the fourth prince's chin, beating him so hard that he screamed.
