It is called a dark prison because there is no light here.
This prison built underground in the imperial city was only used to imprison the heirs of the royal family who had made serious mistakes.
Generally speaking, people who can be thrown into a dark prison rarely have the chance to come out again.
However, Zang Xi had a special status, so the person in charge of the secret prison still placed him in the last cell.
It was the only cell where one could see a glimmer of light outside through the crack in the corner of the wall, which would not drive people crazy.
But Zang Xi had never been in a place like this since he was a child. Not only was it so cramped that he couldn't straighten his body, it was even difficult to eat.
In the darkness, all the craziest thoughts in a person's heart will come out with all their fangs and claws.
But after that, if I see the light again, I will definitely suppress these thoughts so that no light can be seen.
Therefore, when Eunuch Zhou went in with the imperial edict on the third day in accordance with Meng Yinqin's request, Zang Xi already showed his crazy state to the fullest.
"Imperial decree? Hahaha!"
He laughed wildly and said: "What imperial edict?"
"He wants to kill me, right? He can't tolerate me anymore, right?"
"Okay, come on!"
The people behind Eunuch Zhou took an oil lamp and shined a light on the fourth prince's face, and were shocked to find that his face was as pale and haggard as a ghost.
He was immediately frightened and took a few steps back.
If Eunuch Zhou hadn't been quick to help him, he would have fallen to the slippery ground.
"The fourth prince is too worried, the emperor does not want to kill you!"
"Please also ask the fourth prince to accept the order!"
Zang Xi threw himself on the ground and said, "Tell me, what does he want?"
Eunuch Zhou then took out the imperial edict and read it once.
"Flying the destiny... There is hard work without merit. Therefore, I decided to make the fourth prince the Prince of Feng, grant three cities on the southwest coast of Yanchu, and head to the Yanchu territory on the other side of the sea immediately..."
Before Eunuch Zhou had finished reciting the imperial edict, Zang Xi had already climbed up from the ground, kneeling upright with his hands raised, waiting to receive the edict.
"...I admire this!"
After Eunuch Zhou finished reading, he lowered his head and saw that Zang Xi had calmed down his crazy look and lowered his head cautiously, and raised his eyebrows.
He was actually tipped off by the emperor!
Such a reaction!
"The Four Emperors... no, I am here at the invitation of the prince!"
Eunuch Zhou quickly stretched out his hand to help the person up, turned his head and said angrily: "Hurry up and open the door!"
When the prison guard opened the door, he pretended to kick him: "You don't even have a look!"
Zang Xi stopped him and said with a kind face: "Father-in-law, there is no need to argue with him!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to smooth down his messy hair, and then asked: "Can I go back to the palace to change my clothes, take the princess with me, and then set off together?"
Eunuch Zhou paused: "Of course it is possible... but has Prince Feng forgotten that you have already given the princess to... ah, it is Heli, not Heli?"
Zang Xi's hand shaking his clothes: "What? Heli..."
He paused and said calmly: "How did the father-in-law know that the king and the princess had written a letter of reconciliation?"
Eunuch Zhou raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Ah this..."
He turned around and waved for a guard to come in.
Zang Xi recognized the guard at a glance as someone from his East Palace.
"Aqing?"
Aqing held the He Li Shu in both hands and handed it over: "Master, the princess took out the He Li Shu three days ago!"
Zang Xi did not answer.
He only had to glance at it to be sure that it was written by his own hand.
As early as half a month ago, when Tang Jingxian was clamoring to return to her parents' home, he wanted to keep her and retain the support of the Shangshu Mansion, so he coaxed her to write this divorce letter in advance.
But she also promised at that time that as long as he was not killed by the emperor, she would not take out the He Li Shu and grow up with her two children in the palace.
After all, children also have hope!
If he could still succeed, she would personally burn He Li's book.
But...three days ago!!!
He was just thrown into the dark prison three days ago!
She couldn't wait to take out the He Li Shu.
Just to clear up the relationship with him, don't you want to be implicated in the slightest?
Seeing that he looked a little sad, Eunuch Zhou comforted him in a low voice: "Prince Feng, don't be sad. The emperor has sent the two young masters to Shou'an Palace and raised them under the knees of the Queen Mother. They are alive and kicking. They are not upset because they can't see their mother and concubine."
Noisy!"
Zang Xi's heart became even heavier.
If the child doesn't make a fuss even when he can't see his mother, it is obvious that the child is not close to his mother.
As for the reason for not kissing each other, it was naturally that Tang Jingxian basically didn't care about them since she gave birth to the child.
When I think about it, I look at him and hug him. When I don't think about it, the wet nurse and the palace maid are taking care of the child.
Such a woman...just make peace with her!
Zang Xi gritted his teeth, turned around and strode outside.
Even if the light was so dim that there was only an oil lamp in the hand of the prison guard, he seemed to be able to see the road on the ground.
Oh.
He actually agreed to send him to the other side of the sea and even made him king...
I don’t know if it was the emperor’s idea or the conditions put forward by the Supreme Emperor.
But, now that things have happened, the other side of the sea is indeed the most suitable place for him to survive.
Even if they knew about the existence of this prince, not many people had seen the fake moon marks behind his ears.
He only needs to be ruthless to remove the mark of the moon mark, and those people will not think that he has pretended to be a prince.
As for why he has the status of a prince, it is natural that the Supreme Emperor targets him and wants to support this country!
Who made the new emperor inactive and unwilling to return for Yuehen?
Thinking of this, Zang Xi felt that this imperial edict was somewhat untrue.
Until he walked out of the dark prison and saw the faint light outside, he closed his eyes and waited for a while.
Before sunrise, it is indeed a good time to go to Ma Tau.
But how could he really have this fate?
Zang Xi opened his eyes and immediately unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read it carefully.
"It's true!"
It turned out to be true.
I remember that back then, before he became the crown prince, he had asked the Supreme Emperor if he could be sent to the other side of the sea to be an idle prince when the new emperor Yuehen came out.
He likes the sea.
He has always wanted to go to the other side of the sea to see what the other half of Yanchu looks like.
It's a pity that the prince cannot leave the palace easily before he reaches adulthood.
Not to mention going to the other side of the sea.
Except for those who were sent there by the prince, only the next generation of royal heirs born on the other side of the sea, those who were given the title, would stay on the other side of the sea permanently.
To put it simply, except for businessmen, ordinary people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait do not have much contact.
And the heirs of the royal family cannot go just as they please.
Zang Xi never thought that he would be able to go to the other side.
Especially after he did so many things that were detrimental to the new emperor.
This is as unreal as a dream.
No, this must be a dream!
He must have slept too deeply in the dark prison, and then he dug out the deepest desires in his heart.
I just dreamed that I would have such a day.
Thinking of this, Zang Xi calmed down and walked straight towards the East Palace.
The only person following him was the guard A Qing.
