He used to be the president of the Hanlin Academy of the Great Chu State, a first-rank official, and his daughter was the emperor's most beloved concubine, so he would never allow himself to be publicly executed.

Wang Zhuo would rather be angered to death by Li Junze than be executed on the execution ground two days later.

Just as he closed his eyes with difficulty, trying not to listen to Li Junze's random shouting, the door of their cell was forcefully opened.

"Ah, Lord Yan, Lord Wei, you are finally here. Are you here to take me out? Does the emperor want to see me?"

When Li Junze saw the people coming, he didn't care how embarrassed he looked. He crawled in front of the two people and kept asking questions.

Lord Wei frowned and said nothing. Who could have thought that the once famous Prince An would become so spineless now?

Yan Nangui smiled and shook his head, even squatting down, looking at Li Junze and saying, "I heard from the guards in the cell that Master Wang is seriously ill, so I came here today to help Master Wang with his medical treatment."

"What...what?" Li Junze raised his head and looked at Yan Nangui with an unconvincing look, then turned back to look at Wang Zhuo. He didn't understand why Yan Nangui would think of helping Wang Zhuo with his medical treatment now.

When Wang Zhuo heard Yan Nangui's words, he opened his eyes again with great force. With his cloudy vision, he could only see several figures approaching him in the dim cell.

"Thank you Lord Yan for your concern. I don't need your diagnosis anymore. Please go back." Without waiting for Yan Nangui to come closer, he had already refused the other party's help in diagnosis.

However, how could Yan Nangui not know what Wang Zhuo was planning at this time? He said to Xuanjizi who was wearing a black cloak behind him, "Xuanjizi, Mr. Wang's illness is an old one. It seems that he will not die for a while. However, he will be executed in two days. He must have enough strength to hold on until then."

Xuanjizi nodded, and the masked head looked towards Wang Zhuo.

"Master Yan, rest assured. Xuanjizi will make sure that Master Wang, no, it should be called Tanlang, is alive and well when he is executed."

Wang Zhuo only turned his eyes slightly, trying to see Xuanjizi more clearly, but his vision was becoming increasingly blurry. He could only move his gaze to the roof and laughed miserably twice.

"Xuanjizi, well, you came here today to avenge your master and fellow disciples?"

Xuanjizi did not recognize Wang Zhuo, because the current Wang Zhuo is completely different from the vigorous and healthy Tan Lang of the past, but Lord Yan asked him to trick him in this way, and he did not expect that it really worked.

He clenched his fist tightly and then released it, then said, "The traitor to the sect is my senior sister, and she has already received the retribution she deserves. As for you, I will only be responsible for making sure you receive your retribution."

"My retribution, haha, you are just as Jiang Muyu said, not only single-minded but also very stubborn. You must do what you want to do. Not bad, very good, you have never given up in all these years. Ze'er just lacks such a temperament..."

He sighed and said, "I have lived for so many years, and I have done everything I should do. Although I did not succeed, I have no regrets. As for the rest, I will leave it to you."

Yan Nangui was a little angry when he saw his expression that seemed to have no concern for anything.

"What Master Wang said is simple. You have no regrets. But what about those people who lost their lives in your actions again and again? What about their families?

What about the Yanbei Army that followed you in rebellion this time? And how should the King of Yan deal with it?"

Wang Zhuo listened, and a sinister look flashed across his face. "A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men, let alone an emperor? All the sacrifices are worth it. Yan's children, you will never understand what I pursue."

The Yan family has been loyal to the emperor for generations. They do not form cliques or curry favor with the powerful. They are not only upright but also loyal. How could they possibly understand Wang Zhuo's lofty ambitions?

This time the action failed. If it had been successful, he would now be the emperor's father, and all the ancestors of their entire Wang family would be rejoicing over his success, and the entire Wang family would have changed their identity.

Yan Nangui snorted coldly, "Since Wang Xueshi is so determined, there is no point in saying more. Xuanjizi, you can do whatever you want. Just make sure that the two of them are still alive when they are executed in two days."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even bother to look at Wang Zhuo again. He turned around and walked out of the cell first.

Lord Wei was about to leave, but Li Junze grabbed his robe and said, "Lord Wei, Lord Wei, please, can you help me send a message to my father? Just say that I was coerced by Wang Zhuo and ask him to spare my life, okay?"

"I will behave myself from now on and will never do such a rebellious thing again. Lord Wei, can you please tell my father for me?"

He said this nervously, and seeing that Lord Wei didn't seem to want to help him, he immediately said,

"I, I still have a lot of good things in my house. I'll give them all to you. All of them, okay?"

The reason why he had always wanted to meet Lord Wei was because when he was still Prince An, Wei Zhiyi was very respectful when he saw him, so they could be considered to have some kind of friendship.

However, how could Lord Wei help him do such a life-threatening thing just because of their meager relationship?

"Li Junze, you can't see the emperor casually. Don't forget your current status as a criminal. Just stay here honestly. You didn't embarrass me before, and now all I can do is not embarrass you, that's all."

After he said that, he forcefully pulled his robe out of his hands and walked out of the cell.

"Master Wei, Master Wei, please don't leave. Father will definitely not ignore me. Master Wei, please..."

Li Junze still didn't give up, but unfortunately Wei Zhiyi walked away without stopping.

For a moment, Xuanjizi and the two of them were the only ones left in the cell.

"Ze'er, you..." Wang Zhuo still couldn't keep his composure after hearing Li Junze's shout. He wanted to remind him again, but as soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Li Junze.

"Just shut up. I listened to you and told you to keep calm. Now, this is what happened to me because I listened to you? I've listened to you for more than ten years. At this point, do you still expect me to continue listening to you?"

Li Junze shouted at Wang Zhuo angrily. At this point he had completely lost hope in his heart. If the emperor did not summon him in the next two days, his fate would basically be determined.
