The fourth prince was caught off guard and was hit twice more before he could retreat. Cheng Ping, who was following him, grabbed the fourth prince and backed away.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay..."
The fourth prince let go of his face, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"hiss--"
Tang Ning opened her mouth in shock, took a breath of air, and said "Wow".
So miserable.
Xiao Yan, who was still full of coldness, saw the little girl next to him widen her eyes, looking at the gloating that could not be concealed, a smile flashed in her eyes, and the hostility around her also dissipated a little.
The fourth prince covered his face that suddenly swelled up and stared at King Cheng angrily: "Uncle King Cheng, what are you doing?!"
King Cheng's mind was so chaotic that he could hardly hear the sounds outside.
During this period of time, he was locked up in this dark cell, never seeing the light of day, and never being visited by anyone. The pain after physical torture made him particularly uncomfortable, but what was even worse was the person who was in the same room with him. "people".
It was obviously just a ball of flesh and blood, but that sight that night almost turned into a nightmare. As soon as he closed his eyes, the bloody child's face would appear in front of him.
All he could hear was the pitiful cries of a child, constantly asking him why he didn't want him, or asking him to die with him sharply.
At first, Cheng Wangman was still scared and threw "it" far away, and even smashed "it" like crazy, just to stop "it" from "harassing" him, but then the crying became more and more loud. It was so shrill that he dared not close his eyes day and night.
He was afraid.
He was so frightened that he crawled to the corner, and carefully used his fingerless hands to fiddle with the "it" that had been trampled into minced meat bit by bit. He covered "it" with clothes and talked about it every day. Talk to "it"...
Everyone in the prison said that King Cheng was crazy.
"Uncle Cheng Wang!"
Seeing that Prince Cheng seemed unable to hear his voice, the fourth prince frowned a little louder.
King Cheng seemed to be frightened and raised his head suddenly. The fourth prince and Cheng Ping beside him both gasped.
I saw that King Cheng's cheeks were sunken, his lips were dry and cracked, his cheekbones and eyebrows were protruding, and his eyes were dark. The blood that had previously flowed on his body was scabbed on his skin, and he looked particularly numb when he looked at people. .
The fourth prince suddenly felt panicked. With King Cheng like this, what else could he ask?
Xiao Yan stood outside the door and saw the fear on the faces of the fourth princes and Prince Cheng who seemed to have lost his mind and gone crazy in the corner. He suddenly said:
"Xie Tianyu, I have already reported to Your Majesty the matter of your collusion with the Lu family. Your Majesty, Xie Yin, is a member of the Lu family. Your Majesty is also aware of it. The Lu family has committed this immoral and scandalous act. The Queen and Your Majesty are extremely shocked. Your Majesty specially asked the fourth prince to come and investigate this matter in person. thing."
"I know that you are not crazy. If you want a clean ending, then honestly tell the Fourth Prince who the Lu family is who you are secretly cooperating with. Otherwise, I will have many tricks to make you want to die."
That sentence of "I can't die" made Prince Cheng tremble violently, but then the sentence "Fourth Prince" made his eyes filled with chaos suddenly become clearer.
The fourth prince...
The fourth prince is here? !
There was a joy in King Cheng's heart, which overshadowed the fear of these days. When he raised his eyes and spoke, his voice was worse than the grinding of sand and gravel: "Fourth...Emperor...Prince..."
Seeing that he was still responding, the fourth prince quickly said, "It's me, Uncle Cheng, do you still recognize me?"
King Cheng's already confused mind seemed to be awakened by the words "Fourth Prince". His eyes began to focus, and he raised his head little by little to look at the young and upright figure standing in front of him.
The extremely familiar face that he had been paying close attention to for many years seemed to come alive, and his eyes were fixed on him.
"Zheng'er..."
The fourth prince was stunned for a moment. He was not close to King Cheng. In the past, when they occasionally met, King Cheng would only call him fourth prince. He had never called him by his nickname so intimately.
The fourth prince felt strange in his heart, and even a little bit uncomfortable. However, seeing that King Cheng was willing to speak, he put aside the strangeness and said:
"It's good that Uncle Cheng Wang recognizes me. I'm here to strictly investigate the affairs between you and the Lu family under the orders of my father. If Uncle Cheng tells me honestly and tells me the people who colluded with you, I will definitely tell my father." The emperor begs for mercy and allows him to keep Uncle Wang's dignity."
King Cheng listened to his words and asked a little dullly: "You are here, Queen, do you know?"
The fourth prince frowned: "Of course the queen knows."
He didn't think much about it, he just thought that King Cheng wanted to threaten Empress Lu with the fact that she was from the Lu family, and his face showed displeasure: "Although the queen is from the Lu family, she can't tolerate sand in her eyes. Uncle Cheng and the female family members of the Lu family Mother will never be partial to adultery."
King Cheng looked at the person in front of him, and his numb heart finally felt a little alive.
The fourth prince checked him out, and the queen knew about it.
King Cheng's mind gradually became clear.
No one knows the matter between him and the queen better than them, but the queen dares to let the fourth prince come, which means that the queens he told Xiao Yan about at the beginning already know, and she has already thought of a way to let her and the fourth prince escape, so she dares to let the queen come. The fourth prince got involved.
What the fourth prince said was that he had an affair with a female member of the Lu family, and His Majesty also asked him to investigate the matter, which meant that the queen was fine and so was the fourth prince.
The queen agreed to let him check, which means that the queen on the Lu family is ready. Who will the queen choose among the Lu family...
King Cheng, who had been frightened for many days, had a hard time thinking, but maybe there was someone he wanted to protect in front of him, so he tried his best to think about what the queen would do.
He wanted to ask the fourth prince something, but when he raised his eyes, he saw those people standing in front of the cell door not far away. After his eyes fell on Xiao Yan, he was frightened for a moment. He originally wanted to test and ask Prince Cheng that the queen had prepared. , suddenly suppressed the conversation.
Can't ask.
If Xiao Yan notices it, it will cause death for the queen, mother and son.
The fourth prince didn't know that a lot of thoughts had already passed through Prince Cheng's mind. Seeing that he remained silent, the fourth prince frowned and said, "Uncle Prince Cheng, do you still want to resist?"
"Everyone knows that you are colluding with the Lu family, and the female members of the Lu family who are flirting with you will be found out sooner or later. Even if you insist on not talking about it, it will be useless. It is better to take action earlier, so as to avoid suffering. suffering."
Seeing that King Cheng remained silent, he emphasized his tone and said, "Uncle King Cheng is so indifferent, doesn't he care about himself and Xie Yin?"
Seeing the fluctuation in King Cheng's eyes, there were obviously ripples.
The fourth prince only thought that he cared about Xie Yin and kept working hard.
"You replaced Xie Yin back then and raised him under your knees. After all, you loved him. You never wanted to see him die. If Uncle Cheng is willing to tell me about the Lu family, I will help Xie Yin intercede with my father. how?"
"He doesn't know about your rebellion, and he is of royal blood. Maybe my father can spare his life."
