Chapter 57

In the 23rd year of the Yuan Dynasty, Qi and Wei joined forces to rebel, mobilized troops to besiege the city overnight, instigated rebellion against the royal guards, and imprisoned the royal family.

For some reason, Chu Shao, the prince's close minister and general Ningyuan, betrayed his long-time fellowship with the prince and quietly joined the rebel camp.Several power holders of the auxiliary Zhou family knelt to petition outside the Zhengming Gate of the imperial city, and when they saw Chu Shao scolded him bloody, but Chu Shao just walked past them silently, without saying a word. explain.

Standing on the tower above Zhengyangmen, Wei Shuqing looked at the Zhou family who complained for the royal family, the coldness in his eyes became more and more serious, he turned his head sideways, and raised a knife with his hand at Qi Lang who was beside him Fall gesture.

Three days later, the usurper and the second family of Wei joined forces to wipe out the Zhou family who had stood side by side with them in Zhongyang. General of the dynasty.

In this coup known as the "Dingfeng Rebellion" in history, the Zhou family, which had stood side by side with Qi and Wei for a hundred years, fell apart overnight, and became a silent word in the history books, which made all the nobles in Zhongyang The aristocratic family was in dire straits.

This overthrowing coup d'état left all the blood in the Jinting imperial city, and it only became a topic of conversation among the common people, but it was just the mention of His Royal Highness, who has been famous all over the world since he was 12 years old. Just sigh.

And the deep anxiety in Chu Shao's heart increased day by day.

After Feng Xie was arrested, Wei Shuqing trusted him in name, but actually imprisoned him in the mansion.

There was no one of his own around, and the general's mansion was surrounded by people from the Qi and Wei families, so he could only rely on Qi Lang to deliver letters for him and bring them back to him.

"How is it?"

Qi Lang came in respectfully from the front yard. Seeing that it was him, Chu Shao hurried up to greet him, and asked eagerly, "Did you bring my letter? What did he say?"

"Don't worry, General Xiao Chu." Qi Lang tugged at him, looked left and right, and pulled him to a hidden place in the study before letting go, and took out a letter from his sleeve, "This is for you, Your Highness." I haven't opened it and read it."

Chu Shao snatched the letter in his hand, opened it hastily and glanced at it for a few times, and finally he let go of what he had been talking about for a few days.There was only one simple sentence in the letter. The person who wrote it thought that his right hand was injured, so his handwriting was a little weak, but he could still tell it was Feng Xie's handwriting at a glance.

"I have understood the cause and effect from the eldest son, cherish myself, I am safe and sound, don't worry about it."

Chu Shao read this sentence over and over several times greedily, Fang said: "Fortunately, fortunately... But is the injury on his shoulder still not healed? Although I picked the place that least hurt the bones and muscles at the time, in order to do enough It's still a serious act. Have you found someone to treat his injuries? When can I go out? It's been a few days, I'm worried..."

"As I said before, the general must not be in a hurry," Qi Lang comforted, and sat down in front of him, "The most urgent thing is how we can save the lives of His Majesty and the Second Prince. Being imprisoned in the inner palace, life and death depend on Wei Shuqing's thoughts. I went to find out, but he still doesn't trust you very much. Today he made me a condition, but I don't know how to talk to you... "

"What condition? As long as I can save His Majesty and brother, I'm fine," Chu Shao said, "As long as I gain his trust and let me go out of the imperial city to the Xuanjian camp, I will definitely be able to..."

"General, you know that His Majesty wanted to marry you before you set off in the Battle of Dingbei," Qi Lang looked at him meaningfully, "It was just stopped by His Royal Highness, so you don't know until now... ...The marriage partner is my elder sister Qi Lin, who is three years older than you, and has a reputation for talent, which is considered right. Today Wei Shuqing came to ask me what I meant, and the words seemed to say... I hope Qi will marry you , if you marry my eldest sister, he can rest assured of you..."

"Impossible!" Chu Shao stood up suddenly, and subconsciously refused, "I can't... I... already have someone I like, and besides the national crisis, how can I get married?"

"It's just a stopgap measure. For the sake of my eldest sister's happiness, I don't want her to marry at this time, but what can I do?" Qi Lang sighed, and said sincerely, "Wei family has no daughter, you If you marry my eldest sister, it is tantamount to forming an alliance with my second family, Wei Shuqing will definitely feel at ease. If you don't marry, I can't guarantee that he will let you out of the house someday... Of course we can Wait, but Your Majesty and His Royal Highness can't wait! The sky prison is simple, and I have tried my best to heal His Highness, but you also know that with Wei Shuqing staring at me, I dare not show anything, General, you Even if you don’t think about it for me, think about it for His Highness—"

With trembling hands, Chu Shao clenched the letter paper tightly, and was in a state of confusion for a moment.

There was no sunshine at all.

I don't know how many days have passed.

Tianzi No. [-] Zhao Prison is located in the deepest part of Dianxing Temple. There is no window, only a faint candle is lit on a simple table.The white candles burned out one after another, and no one came except the jailer who came to change the candles and bring some simple meals.

The wound has been dealt with in the simplest way, although there is still heart-piercing pain when he moves, but compared to what he is experiencing now, he feels that it is nothing.

The right arm that was painted with a black moon seemed to have relieved some of the physical pain due to more bloodletting, but the poison of the sea and the moon flowed around his body, almost torturing him crazy.

A voice repeated over and over in his ear.

"He betrayed you, didn't you see it with your own eyes, don't you believe it now?"

"What do you still believe in?"

Both of his wrists were wrapped with thick chains, and they were tied at both ends of the cell, so that he could not even walk to the prison door, and could only lean against the cold wall.With his eyes closed, he tried his best to entangle with the demons in his heart, and his fingers clung to the iron chain so hard that even his fingernails were turned over and bled, and he never let go.

"No... I don't believe he will betray me, unless I hear him say..."

His hands were dripping with blood. He was afraid of these things at first, afraid of pain, cold, and bleeding, but now he couldn't care about anything else.

The consciousness is blurred and clear, and I am groggy for most of the day, and it is painful when I am awake, and it may not be better when I fall asleep.Feng Xie leaned against the cold wall and thought deeply, if this continues, he might not be able to last long, and he would go crazy.

The sound of boots trampling on straw was suddenly heard outside the cell.

Feng Xie raised his head abruptly, but the person who came was Wei Shuqing, his eyes slowly flowed across Feng Xie's red eyes, and he said with some compassion: "Your Highness, how are you doing these days?"

"Thanks to Duke Wei, everything is fine." Feng Xie tried his best to suppress the hatred surging in his heart, and replied in a cold voice.

Wei Shuqing laughed: "That's a pity, I think you won't be so well after today—"

"What do you mean?" Feng Xie stared at him closely, but coughed for a while because he raised his head too quickly.

Wei Shuqing approached, patted him on the back, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty suffered an old illness in the Tongming Hall today, and died before he could call the imperial physician. Mrs. Mei followed His Majesty and committed suicide on His Majesty. Side. There is a great funeral for the state, and the world is silent, will His Highness be as safe as before?"

There was a sudden darkness in front of my eyes.

Countless images flooded through my mind. There are not many fathers, queens and concubines, and even fewer children. Except for those who passed away in the early years, there are only three people who are born of him, Feng Lu, and Feng Shuo, born to Mrs. Mei.Feng Shuo's health is not good, he has been raised in the inner palace, although he and Feng Lu don't have much contact with each other, but they are still brothers and friends.

Compared to Feng Shuo, his father gave almost all his love to him, and it was also because of his unconditional trust and cultivation that he had the opportunity to touch everything that heirs could touch since he was a child, and his ideas and opinions were all there. Be respected.Although the father was sometimes strict with himself, when he thought about it carefully, he never refused to give anything he wanted.

A burst of bloody smell rushed up from his throat, Feng Xie couldn't hold it back, and spat out a big mouthful of blood with a "wow".Wei Shuqing was unmoved, and even knelt down to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth for him, and said with some regret: "Your Highness, you can't just die like this... Your Majesty just drank a bowl of lotus seeds that you sent up." Geng died, if you die, how can I explain to the world?"

He squinted his eyes and laughed happily: "Your confidant seems to be the third son of the Zhou family? He hasn't been caught by us yet, maybe he will come to rescue you. Before he comes, you must be careful." Can't die."

Wei Shuqing stood up, looked at him condescendingly, and his tone gradually became indifferent: "Your father didn't hold on, and you died before you. If you died too, then my fun would be much less."

With hatred in his heart, Feng Xie frantically rushed towards him, wanting to reach out and grab him, but because of the iron chains on his wrists, he couldn't get close to him at all.

The cold and hard iron chain left a bright red mark on his hand, Wei Shuqing stepped out of the cell easily, and looked back at him: "Don't bother, Chengyang. Your close bodyguard, you Brothers in the same robe, your relatives are either used by me, or they have passed away. Now that things have happened, do you think you still have a chance to stand up?"

Feng Xie didn't answer, and looked at him with open eyes, his eyes could almost kill.

Wei Shuqing took two steps, then turned around as if remembering something, and said to him: "Oh, by the way, I haven't caught your sister yet, and when I catch her, I will lock her up with you." Together. The number one beauty of the royal family, the eldest son of our family has been asked to marry many times, but I don’t know how it tastes, but let him taste it with his brothers."

"You dare!" Feng Xie's eyes were shattered, he shouted at Wei Shuqing heart-piercingly.

Seeing him like this, Wei Shuqing smiled even more satisfied: "Dare you or not, it's not up to you now, Your Highness."

The straw when he stepped over step by step, the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard after a while.

Feng Xie tried his best to restrain his emotions, his legs gave way, but he fell directly on the straw piled up behind him in embarrassment.He felt a little cold, and couldn't help reaching out to hug himself, shrinking into a ball.
