The coldness of Tianlao never changes due to the bright sunshine outside. The moisture that has nowhere to dissipate all year round penetrates into the cracks of the bones, making people feel cold from head to toe.
The fine iron shackles have not been covered with a layer of dust for many years, but compared to the people being held captive, the dust is obviously cleaner. At least there are no blood stains, no scary wounds, and no pools of blood on the floor. The jailer originally wanted to clean up those
The blood stains made people shiver all over just looking at them, but there were other things besides the shackled people in the prison, so he didn't dare to get close at all.
"Are all these snakes poisonous?" The younger jailer swallowed, his face turning blue with fear.
The old jailer nervously took a look at the various snakes in the cell, long and short, and his expression was not very relaxed: "I don't know if they are poisonous or not. Anyway, don't mess with them. They say snakes are spiritual and can become spirits. Just in case.
If you let this thing bite you, you won't know how you died."
"But..." The little jailer hesitated, looking at the man in the cell who lowered his head and didn't know whether he was awake or asleep. The scene was indeed a bit scary, with snakes all over the ground twisting and squirming, spitting out blood-red letters, and surrounded by people.
The man in the center had nowhere to hide due to the restraints he wanted to avoid. The feeling of standing among the snakes must have been extremely uncomfortable. The little jailer stretched his neck and glanced at the door of the prison, turned back and whispered to the man: "
Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, can you hear me?" There is no missing word on the website.
The old jailer took a breath and stepped on the young jailer's feet: "Are you crazy or stupid? What should I do if I lure the snake here?!"
"Well, you can't just look at the prince... Look, the prince hasn't moved for a long time. If something goes wrong..."
The young jailer's incoherent words caused the old jailer to step harder: "What a mistake! What can happen if there is a mistake? Are you going to feed the snake for him?" He secretly glanced at Yi Chenjing, who was still lowering his head and making no movement. The old jailer lowered his head slightly.
Voice: "The prince has been imprisoned here, do you think there can be peace outside? Who knows why the palace is in chaos now, maybe the emperor has already... In short, you and I just need to keep an eye on the heavenly prison. There are no palace changes or rebellions.
It has nothing to do with us. If you want to save your head, just stay still, otherwise you will be just like everyone else."
Thinking of the more than ten jailer corpses piled up deep in the sky prison, the young jailer shuddered and his face quickly turned gray.
Who would have thought that such a day would happen to the unpopular Royal Palace Prison? Unknown people suddenly broke in, and the jailers were brutally killed, leaving them alone, old and young, staring at the prince. Oh yes, there are also a bunch of orders.
A creepy snake. The little jailer didn't know what was going on outside. He only had a vague premonition that the sky in the Royal Palace of Yaoguo seemed to be falling.
"What are you two muttering about?" A seductive and careless voice suddenly came. The two jailers froze at the same time and hurriedly lowered their heads and knelt down, pressing their foreheads tightly to the ground.
The red gauze clothes dragged on the ground and crossed in front of the eyes. The graceful figure nonchalantly approached the cell where Yi Chenjing was imprisoned. After a strange flute sound, the lazy snakes suddenly became energetic, and they all stretched out their snake bodies and stood up.
.
"Don't be afraid, these children are docile and won't hurt anyone easily - of course, this is under the premise that no one messes with them." Ruan Yanluo smiled sweetly, put away the finger-length bone piccolo, and looked towards
Yi Chenjing was hanging in the cell, "Your Highness, I can't bear to see you so pitiful. After all, we had a night of love. If you died, I would be sad." Seeing that Yi Chenjing remained motionless and did not respond.
, Ruan Yanluo shrugged, sighing regretfully: "Aren't you awake yet? Boring, boring to death, I thought I could watch you two brothers bickering or simply have a fight. But think about it, that addict
Why would the bloody prince take the risk of letting you out? Just looking at the emperor is enough for him. Tsk, don’t say it anymore, you won’t hear me if I say it. Hey, you two, keep an eye on me. These children have been around for a long time.
I haven’t eaten anything, so I don’t want to replace the corpses inside and become their meal, so just be obedient.”
"Yes, yes, you must be obedient, you must be obedient..." The old jailer kowtowed as hard as he could, his body was covered with chaff.
As the footsteps receded, the sweet laughter echoed in the cold and cold prison. Only when they could no longer be heard did the two jailers let out a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground as if they had saved their lives.
Maybe it was the sudden relaxation of their tense nerves that made them a little sluggish. Neither of them noticed that Yi Chenjing moved slightly in the cell. His closed eyes slowly opened, and his dark eyes stared at the snakes wrapped around his legs and feet, with a stern face.
No expression at all.
He had never won a duel with Yi Chenxuan, and it was the same this time.
The team sent to pursue Yi Chenxuan was stopped by a trap on the road, and Yi Chenxuan escaped. Both Yi Chenjing and Ou Suiliang thought that it was impossible for Yi Chenxuan to return to the imperial capital again, and he would inevitably spend the next days on the run. However, the facts
It proved that their guess was wrong, everyone underestimated Yi Chenxuan's courage and cruelty.
According to what Ou Suiliang said, it was Zhan Ting who was protecting Emperor Yao and the Queen when they left the imperial capital. With Zhan Ting's skills, even if Ji Sanqian appeared, it would be impossible for him to succeed. But when Yi Chenjing and Ou Suiliang walked into Ziyun Palace with confidence,
, what was waiting for them was not Emperor Yao or Eunuch Tao, but an overwhelming group of snakes, and Yi Chenxuan, who stood behind the group of snakes with his hands folded, looking at them with a sinister sneer, who shouldn't be here at all.
With a silent self-mockery in the darkness, Yi Chenjing moved her fingers, but she was still numb and unconscious, as was her body.
He and Ou Suiliang can deal with the enemy with ease. Even if they are surrounded by ten people, they can still escape unscathed. He is confident in this, but the situation is different when facing inhuman things - said Ruan Yan
It is no exaggeration to say that Luo is a snake and scorpion woman. With a piccolo and a few weird flute sounds, those scalp-numbing snakes were actually controlled by her. He and Ou Suiliang were caught off guard and didn't know how to resist. Soon, something appeared on his body.
Big and small wounds, snake venom also melted into the blood along the wounds, and it took only half a stick of incense to make the two most brave generals of the distant country unable to defeat.
Then when I woke up, I was here.
The incident happened in Ziyun Palace, which means that Emperor Yao and Queen in Ziyun Palace have also been attacked. It is unknown whether Zhan Ting is still there, or perhaps even he has encountered an unexpected incident.
Yi Chenxuan's return of the carbine was unexpected, which showed that his methods were sophisticated. Although Yi Chenjing was reluctant, he had no choice but to give in. Talking about conspiracy and tricks, I was afraid that no one in the palace of Yaoguo could be Yi Chenxuan's opponent. While his mind was still strong,
During the Qingming Festival, Yi Chenjing thought over and over again about how to get out of trouble. Every time he saw the snakes crawling on the ground, he would be swallowed up by despair - he couldn't even get out of the prison, who else could he save?
"Where is the general?" Yi Chenjing asked in a low voice when he finally gave up at his wits' end.
The young jailer was stunned for a long time before he realized that it was Yi Chenjing who was speaking. He looked around and saw that no one was outside. Regardless of the old jailer's efforts, he answered in a low voice: "I'm not here, the general. The prison only holds you, the prince, now."
people."
In other words, can't you count on others? Yi Chenjing fell into silence again.
He didn't know that Ou Suiliang was more seriously injured than him. At this time, he was left in a corner with his life or death uncertain, and the only one he could count on was Zhan Ting, who was galloping on horseback among hundreds of others, carrying an untrue letter for help.
Heading to Qiaojiazhai. Inside and outside the palace, either Yi Chenxuan's men or the imperial army were controlled by coercion. Anyone who could save him and turn the tide in this desperate situation were all isolated from the reach. The current situation is really serious.
Truly alone and helpless.
According to Ruan Yanluo's previous instructions, the old jailer went to report Yi Chenjing immediately after she regained consciousness. Ruan Yanluo did not dare to delay and hurried to Ziyun Palace to see Yi Chenxuan.
"It's good to wake up. I'm afraid that Lao Qi won't hold on and dies. In that case, the ending of this chess game won't be very interesting." In the inner hall of Ziyun Palace, Yi Chenxuan was sitting on the dragon couch, leisurely and contentedly alone.
Play chess.
"Initiating a palace coup and imprisoning the emperor, Yi Chenxuan, you are seeking power and usurping the throne."
The cold voice came from Queen Sima Tulan. The Emperor and Queen of Yao Kingdom, who had just been released from imprisonment not long ago, are now in a similar situation, but this time the threat to them is more specific. It is not the all-pervasive ghostly ringtone, but
Swords, spears, swords and halberds, golden cages.
A true golden cage.
"This cage was used by the late emperor to imprison his half-brother King Guangling. King Guangling supported his troops and tried to rebel, but was suppressed by the late emperor. After that, he spent the next twelve years in a golden cage, eating and drinking every day.
Keep him like a plaything to be watched until he goes crazy and crashes to death in the cage." Yi Chenxuan said seemingly unrelated allusions, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, never looking at the Queen or Emperor Yao.
The seriously ill Yaohuang still had a breath of air. Hearing what Yi Chenxuan said, he coughed twice and slowly moved his eyes to the couch: "What happened back then...how much do you know?"
"It should be all of them." The fallen chess piece stopped in mid-air, and Yi Chenxuan finally turned his head slightly, "Does the father think that letting the historian ban the pen can cover up everything? The prince who was supposed to inherit the throne died suddenly overnight, and then his father
The emperor took his place and became the Emperor of Dayao. What happened that night cannot be completely erased by the father." Dropping the chess pieces and walking to the cage with his hands behind his back, Yi Chenxuan looked down at the once aloof Emperor of Yao with his eyes
There was no emotion in it: "Bloodline is a wonderful thing. Look, isn't Lao Qi following in the footsteps of his father and wanting to repeat history? If it weren't for me, Lao Qi might have forced his eldest brother to death to usurp the throne and claim the throne.
Well, my father should thank me."
Emperor Yao was silent. The queen held Emperor Yao's oily and withered body and raised her head coldly: "Yi Chenxuan, what do you think you are? Aren't you the same person who seeks power and usurps the throne in an attempt to become emperor? You only know what happened back then.
Dare you make such nonsense here? It’s simply ridiculous!”
"How much does the Queen know about what happened back then?" Yi Chenxuan asked, with a strange smile on his face, "If you don't believe me, ask your father to see if I am seeking power to usurp the throne, or am I the one who deserves the throne?"
It's mine. Father, please be fair... No, there is no need to call you father now, right, second uncle?"
