Chapter 66 The Hypocritical and Fickle Crown Prince

In the imperial study room, the candle was burning, and occasionally there was a small sound. The maid picked out the wick, and the candle light became much brighter.

Die'er knelt in front of Emperor Tianqi, she lowered her head, but her hands trembled slightly with fear.

After a while, Emperor Tianqi said, "I see, you can go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Die'er kowtowed and got up, turned around and walked outside, and disappeared into the palace wall wearing a black robe.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Director Wu fell to his knees in horror, lowered his body and said, "The emperor calm down, the emperor calm down!"

"Okay, very good!" The calmness on Emperor Tianqi's face cracked slightly, revealing a trace of ferocity, the kindness that he usually displayed had disappeared without a trace, he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "The crime of deceiving the emperor! His crime deserves to be punished! My prince, this is my prince! He has lied to me for three years, he deserves to die!"

"The emperor is angry!" Director Wu knelt on the ground and trembled, he didn't dare to say anything else, the broken porcelain on the ground fell to the ground, and the hot tea splashed on the hands of Director Wu, scalding him There was a jolt, but he didn't even dare to move.

"Call the prince into the palace." The emperor's face was condensed, and his tone was icy cold, and he said, "Secretly summoned, and no one should be alarmed."

When Die'er returned to the Eastern Palace, it was already late at night, she added some oil to the lamp in the study as usual, but the people who were still reading the memorial at this moment were no longer in the Eastern Palace.

Die Er knelt down slowly, facing the empty chair.

Su Yang was not taken to the imperial study, but to a side hall, which has been in disrepair for many years, with spider silk in the corners, and there are footprints on the snow outside. Su Yang knelt on the ground, and in front of him was Emperor Tianqi .

"In the 23rd year of Apocalypse, the south was flooded. The second prince of this dynasty was ordered to tour the south, and the area around Jiangling was suddenly hit by heavy rain, and he has since disappeared." Emperor Apocalypse looked at Su Yang who was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly. What is there to explain?"

"The second emperor's younger brother Ji Ren has his own appearance." Su Yang said.

A hostile look flashed across Emperor Tianqi's face, he took a deep breath, kicked Su Yang's shoulder fiercely, and kicked him to the ground, the shoulder bones seemed to be shattered, and the pain hurt his forehead Suddenly broke out in cold sweat, almost got up, and knelt down on the ground again.

"The crown prince has been in power for three years, and he has kept it from me for three years. Now I will give you another chance to tell me, where is the second prince?" Emperor Tianqi's tone was filled with murderous intent. , there is no trace of fatherly tenderness in his eyes, only the ruthlessness of the emperor, he said, "Don't force me, prince."

"I don't know what my father is referring to, my son, I have nothing to tell." Su Yang said.

Manager Wu at the side hurriedly persuaded, "His Royal Highness, just say it, you and the emperor are stubborn, and you are the one who suffers."

Su Yang never changed his words no matter what, Emperor Tianqi's eyes became colder and colder, and there was madness about power and suspicion of Su Yang in his eyes, which almost overwhelmed his reason.

After Shen Xingting took the jade pendant back, he thought about it, always thinking of Su Yang vomiting blood on his knees, and couldn't help feeling a little irritable.

"My lord, this belongs to the second prince, but why is it with His Royal Highness the prince?" said the attendant at the side.

"He took it himself." Shen Xingting took a deep breath, and said, "Don't mention him in front of this king again."

"Yes." The attendant thought for a while, and then asked, "It's just news from the mansion that the plum blossom wine that you and His Highness the Prince buried under the plum tree last year can be opened."

"Didn't I tell you not to mention him?" Shen Xingting was a little annoyed. After walking around the study for a few times, he suddenly found that the brocade box containing the jade pendant looked familiar. He frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be one in the imperial study. The brocade box was exactly the same as this one. He stepped forward to take a look and found that the pattern on the brocade box was the emperor's special embroidery pattern last time.

Shen Xingting thought for a while.Suddenly walking outside again, the attendant was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed behind Shen Xingting, saying, "My lord, it's midnight and it's still snowing outside, what are you going to do?"

"Go to the East Palace." Shen Xingting said.

"But the gate of the palace has been closed, and it will not be opened until tomorrow." The attendant said hastily.

Only then did Shen Xingting stop, annoyed at being so impetuous, he returned to his study and asked, "Did you find any clues about what I asked you to investigate today?"

"His Royal Highness acted too cautiously, and his subordinates only found the general direction of the day, but it is not known where His Royal Highness's frightened horse went that day," said the attendant.

For some reason, Shen Xingting always felt that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

In the ruined palace, Su Yang clutched his chest and vomited a mouthful of blood. He was always neat and tidy, but at this moment the golden crown fell to the ground, his long hair spread out, and the white gold-patterned robe was stained with blood. his own blood.

Director Wu anxiously said, "Your Highness, just tell me, how can you hold on with this body? Tell me!"

"I really don't know." Su Yang knelt down on the ground, his palms were covered with blood, and his voice was so hoarse that he could barely speak.

"I always thought that the second child was disobedient and stubborn, but I didn't want to be half as good as you." Emperor Tianqi sneered, and he said, "The prince has grown up. Compared with the second child, I really underestimated you before. It is hidden so deep that I almost deceived me too."

Su Yang wanted to speak, but the fishy sweetness in his throat kept rising, and the injury on his chest seemed to be exploding, the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.

The palace people next to them all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

The wind and snow were howling outside, and the dead branches of the palace made a "click" and fell into the snowdrift. There was only a slight sound, and Su Yang couldn't get up. He stood on the ground and felt that he could hear the snow falling. sound.

After an unknown amount of time, a guard suddenly pulled him up. He faintly heard the voice of Emperor Tianqi, but he couldn't hear it clearly. To go, rather than to be dragged away.

He knew that this road would not lead to the East Palace, but he didn't know where he was going.

Bright red blood remained on the white snow, which continued for a long time, but was covered by fresh snow after a while. Director Wu followed behind Emperor Tianqi, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this water prison is already very tortured on weekdays, and now it's gone." Cold winter, I'm afraid..."

"If you are asking for love, why don't you go with the prince." Emperor Tianqi said indifferently. As soon as he said this, Director Wu immediately dared not speak, and he didn't even dare to look back at the remaining bloodstains.

The water prison was originally a place to hold prisoners, and those who could be tortured in the water prison were either spies from the enemy country or criminals who committed the most heinous crimes, but Su Yang never thought that one day he would come here himself.

The icy water covered his knees, and the cold air penetrated the flesh and penetrated into the bones.

"This seems to be His Royal Highness?"

"Isn't it? How could the one in the East Palace be here?"

"How is it impossible? Look at this robe, this is the crown prince's clothing."

"It's really... the prince... how did the prince end up in the dungeon? And he has to endure this kind of torture. In this kind of cold winter, even an unforgivable villain would not use this kind of punishment."

"Don't worry about the things you shouldn't care about. If you want to live longer, just keep your mouth shut. The palace has said it, and punishments will come one by one until His Royal Highness is willing to say something."

"What do you want Your Highness to say?"

"That's not what you and I should ask."

The jailer's words rang in Su Yang's ears. He could hear every word clearly, but he couldn't open his eyes because of exhaustion. His leg bones were getting colder and more painful, as if being stabbed by needles, or someone stabbed him with a knife. His flesh was peeled off, grinding his bones inch by inch.

A whip came with a sound of breaking wind, and the barb on the whip severed a layer of his flesh and blood. The blood gushed out instantly, soaking his clothes, and the blood fell into the water and slowly spread out.

Su Yang finally couldn't bear the pain. He raised his head and screamed. He was almost unable to move his whole body. His hands were hung by iron chains, and his legs were bound by the iron chains at the bottom of the water. He was so painful that he almost passed out, but The bone-chilling chill in his bones was like a slow sentence, which made him unable to ignore it, and he was in pain.

"Your Highness, just tell me, this is only the first punishment, and you will have to suffer every subsequent one. Even if you are strong in martial arts, how many times can you survive? Why don't you say it."

"I..." Su Yang lowered his head, gasped for breath, and said weakly, "I really don't know..."

The second whip came again with the sound of piercing through the air.

The palace gate opened on the second day, as soon as Die'er came out of the East Palace, she saw Shen Xingting standing outside, she was stunned for a moment, and said, "My lord?"

"Where is His Royal Highness?" Shen Xingting asked.

"His Royal Highness..." Die'er hesitated for a moment, she lowered her head and said, "Your Highness has been called into the palace and has not returned yet."

"It's so early in the morning..." Shen Xingting didn't continue speaking in the middle of his sentence. He looked at Die'er and asked, "Then why don't you stay by your Highness's side?"

"There was an order in the palace to let only His Highness go, and His Highness asked the servants to wait in the East Palace." Die'er said.

Shen Xingting didn't see Su Yang in the East Palace, so he had no choice but to give up, he said, "When your highness comes back, send someone to inform me that I have something to ask him."

Shen Xingting is still a little concerned about the matter of Yu Pei, and only by asking Su Yang about this matter will he get the real answer.

Die'er called to stop Shen Xingting, and said, "My lord!"

Shen Xingting paused, turned to look at him, but saw Die'er's complexion changed, and then said, "The road is slippery in snowy weather, my lord, please be careful."

"Well, good." After Shen Xingting responded, he left the East Palace with his attendants.

Die'er looked at the guard in the corner, and finally told the people beside him, "Sweep the snow in the temple, so that it doesn't freeze, and people will slip again."
