During this period of time, Wen Liang was like a walking dead.

He went outside the palace gate almost every day to try his luck, and all kinds of small objects were sent into the hands of the soldiers like flowing water, but in the end, none of the soldiers let him in.

Hearing Shi Jin's name, the soldiers laughed mercilessly.

"How about this, I'll teach you a way." The soldier who was entangled so hard that he couldn't help it teased, "King Xuan was imprisoned in the sky prison for committing a crime. Being able to be locked up with King Xuan means that you can say whatever you want, and no one will care about you for three days and three nights."

After all, the soldier laughed more and more wantonly.

The other soldiers also laughed louder and louder.

The roar of laughter sounded from all directions, piercing Wen Liang's ears like knives.

Wen Liang's face was pale, his lips were clenched tightly, and the hands hanging by his sides were clenched and then loosened, loosened and clenched again... Repeated many times, but his emotions still did not calm down.

The courage of so many days was consumed at this moment, and he no longer had the face to stay in this place.

Wen Liang took a deep breath and turned to leave.

"Stop." The soldier behind suddenly shouted, "If you have a reason to meet King Xuan, I can show you a way."

The despair on Wen Liang's face turned into surprise in an instant, and he hurriedly turned to look at the soldier who spoke.

Wen Liang, who was still immersed in joy at first, heard this, his face became ugly again, his figure swayed slightly, and finally stabilized his footsteps, he took some effort to find his voice: "He, Is he going to be executed?"

The soldier said impatiently: "If you are told to come in three days, you will come in three days. Where is there so much nonsense? You don't have to come if you don't want to come."

After finishing speaking, the soldier returned to his seat expressionlessly, as if he didn't intend to talk to Wen Liang any more.

Wen Liang stood where he was, a gust of cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, he felt cold all over, as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the ice and snow.

It's not that he never thought about Shi Jin's fate, but he still couldn't believe it...

The system said that Shi Jin was his future husband-in-law, that Shi Jin would change his destiny, and that Shi Jin would create a bright future for him.

These words are spoken by the system.

Even if the system is not in his hands now, the system has never lied to him.

So, how could Shi Jin die so easily?

No, Shi Jin cannot die.

He has already lost Shi Ye, he can't lose Shi Jin again, he doesn't want to end up empty-handed.

If so, what was the use of his resistance back then?It's better to obey his father's words and marry into the East Palace obediently at the beginning. In that case, maybe he will be the one guarded by Shi Ye in the carriage.

Wen Liang bit his lip, and gradually tasted a bloody smell.

He glanced at the soldiers who had ignored him, and stood there for a while before turning around slowly.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to walk back, he suddenly bumped into a person standing behind him at an unknown time.

The sallow and emaciated Wen Liang was knocked back again and again.

However, the man remained motionless, bowed his waist, put his hands in his hands, and stared at Wen Liang with an unpredictable expression.

Wen Liang barely stood still, and looked up to see that person was wearing a blue-gray dress and a crown of ingenious scholars... This attire could tell his identity at a glance.

Wen Liang froze for a moment, watching the man approaching him helplessly.

"I have received orders from Eunuch Zhu, so I came here to have a few words with Mr. Wen Liang." The eunuch's voice was high-pitched, and Wen Liang felt extremely uncomfortable with the high airs he raised when he spoke, "I don't know if Mr. Wen Liang is willing to listen to those few words." ?”

Eunuch Zhu?

Wen Liang was stunned for a moment, he naturally knew that Eunuch Zhu was a celebrity around His Royal Highness and only worked for His Royal Highness.

But why did Eunuch Zhu find him so suddenly?

Or……

Eunuch Zhu also got the will of His Highness the Crown Prince?

This idea made Wen Liang excited very quickly, he was so nervous that he was walking on the same hands and feet, he desperately suppressed the joy that kept rushing from his heart, and carefully followed the eunuch to a carriage.

The eunuch was still putting on airs, and didn't even bother to look Wen Liang straight in the eye, he just raised his chin and said, "Get in the car."

Wen Liang obediently got into the car.

There was no one in the carriage, Wen Liang glanced around the carriage, feeling a little disappointed, but he immediately collected his emotions and turned his head to look at the eunuch who followed into the carriage.

The eunuch asked him to sit down, and then sat down opposite him.

Wen Liang sat upright, his hands on his knees clenched the hem of his clothes.

He imagined countless words that the eunuch might say, but he didn't want the eunuch to open his mouth and say: "I heard that you want to see King Xuan?"

"..." Wen Liang didn't know why the eunuch next to His Highness the Crown Prince would talk about King Xuan to him. He was stunned for a long time, thinking of the current situation of King Xuan and Concubine Rong, he didn't dare to speak too clearly, "King Xuan once said something to me. Well, seeing him fall into the current situation, I am also very sad, so I hoped to see him and express my gratitude to him in person."

The eunuch said: "Do you know that King Xuan is a repeat offender of the imperial court, who once rebelled and rebelled, even if you really guarded the opportunity to meet King Xuan outside the palace gate, there is no guarantee that you will not be mistaken for the remnants of King Xuan's party and be arrested put to death."

Hearing this, Wen Liang froze instantly.

When he tasted the eunuch's words again, he only felt his scalp go numb, and he felt grateful.

He only thought about going to see Shi Jin, never thought about the consequences of his doing so.

fortunately……

Fortunately, he hasn't seen Shi Jin yet, otherwise he would have jumped into the Yellow River and wouldn't be able to clean himself up.

Just as Wen Liang finished thinking about it, he heard the eunuch say: "Eunuch Zhu said, you are also the elder brother of Mr. Wen Chi, you are begging for nothing all day long and guarding outside the palace gate. You are shameless, and Mr. Wen Chi is shameless." .”

Wen Liang heard Wen Chi's name suddenly, he fell silent, bit his lip, his face was frighteningly pale.

The eunuch said: "For Mr. Wen Chi's sake, Eunuch Zhu has mercifully granted your wish. If you agree, I will take you to see King Xuan in the prison."

Wen Liang raised his head and said in a daze, "To see King Xuan?"

The eunuch's expression turned cold: "What? You don't want to accept Eunuch Zhu's love?"

"No." Wen Liang said, "I..."

As soon as the words came out, they were all stuck in his throat.

Until this moment, Wen Liang finally understood that his being able to sit in this carriage had nothing to do with His Royal Highness, it was all thanks to his good brother.

He ran around, begging so many people in a low voice, and in the end, even the news that Shi Jin was going to be executed was learned from the soldiers. But now, he just got the mercy of his good brother, and he can easily See you on the brocade side.

For a moment, Wen Liang couldn't tell what was in his heart.

Bitterness, numbness, suffocation, regret...

All kinds of emotions intertwined into a huge net, covering him from top to bottom. He opened his mouth, and after a long time, he only let out a long sigh: "Thank you, Eunuch, for your kindness. I will remember Eunuch Zhu's love in my heart forever."

"Not at all." The eunuch waved his hands disapprovingly, and didn't say anything to Wen Liang, but went to the front and whispered a few words to the coachman.

Soon, the carriage moved on.

Wen Liang stretched out his hand to open the curtain next to him, and looked out, only to see that the surrounding scenery was receding, and the soldiers who had spoken to him not long ago also turned their heads to look at him, and were left far behind by the carriage after a while.

The carriage passed through the palace gate unimpeded and headed inward.

Wen Liang put down the curtains, stared at his own toes in a daze, and the eunuch was sitting opposite him, and had no intention of communicating with him, so he closed his eyes and meditated.

I do not know how long it has been.

The carriage stopped.

The eunuch didn't fall asleep, he opened his eyes immediately after feeling the movement, he looked at Wen Liang: "Get out of the car."

Wen Liang quickly nodded in response, then followed the eunuch and got out of the carriage.

Looking around, I saw that this place is remote and quiet, except for a group of soldiers guarding outside the prison, I can’t see anyone else, but I can see the dark gray wall that is so high that it blocks out the sun. An invisible hand pinched Wen Liang's neck.

Wen Liang opened his mouth, but still felt out of breath.

The environment here was too depressing, and he couldn't bear it as soon as he got off the carriage.

But the eunuch who led the way seemed to have been to these places a lot, walked over as usual, and whispered to one of the soldiers for a while.

The soldier glanced at the stiff Wen Liang, nodded, and turned around to call a soldier.

The soldier said to the eunuch, "Eunuch, this way please."

The eunuch raised his foot to leave, but suddenly thought of something, turned around and saw Wen Liang was still standing there stupidly, and said displeasedly: "You still don't want to leave? The young master is asking the servants to find someone to bring the young master into the sedan chair." ?"

Wen Liang came to his senses later, and hurriedly followed the eunuch's footsteps.

In fact, this is the place where serious criminals are held, and it is called the Heavenly Prison. Throughout the ages, many relatives of the royal family or high-ranking officials who once held power have been imprisoned here. The environment is not comparable to ordinary prisons that hold ordinary people.

But when Wen Liang walked in, he was still so suffocated by the obvious smell in the air that he blocked his nose with his index finger.

Although the layout here looks the same as that of an ordinary mansion, with tables, chairs, beds and cabinets all available, but it is dark and humid here, and black reptiles flash past from time to time.

Wen Liang was afraid of those bugs since he was a child, so he couldn't help shivering, and quickly rubbed his arms, trying to use this movement to push back the goosebumps that had arisen on his body.

The soldiers and eunuchs who led the way didn't notice Wen Liang's emotions, or rather, they didn't care about Wen Liang's thoughts at all.

It wasn't until they came outside a house that the soldiers leading the way stopped.

The eunuch also stopped behind the soldier.

Then, the soldier took out the key chain from his waist, found one of the keys, and opened the heavy iron lock hanging on the door.

The soldier made a gesture: "Time is limited, so be sure to make a long story short."

The eunuch stood still, turning his head to look at Wen Liang who was walking at the end.

Wen Liang didn't expect that after so many days of hard work, he would see Shi Jin so easily at this moment. His footsteps were erratic, as if in a dream, and he walked slowly into the house under the watchful eyes of the soldiers and eunuchs.

The damp and unpleasant smell was worse inside than outside.

Wen Liang put down his hand that was blocking his nose, and walked in bravely. The first thing he saw was the slightly old tables, chairs and cabinets. There were a few plates of cold dishes on the table, as if they hadn't been touched by anyone.

Wen Liang was extremely embarrassed, and for the first time in his life, he didn't even know how to put his hands. He walked to the table with stiff steps, but he didn't see Shi Jin in this quiet room.

But he saw an inner room, which should be a place for people to rest and sleep.

Wen Liang turned around and walked towards the inner room, lifted the thin cloth blocking the middle, and found the person lying on the bed at a glance.

The man was motionless, as if asleep.

Seeing this, Wen Liang subconsciously lightened his steps. He walked lightly to the side of the bed, and saw that the man had neither taken off his shoes nor his clothes. Embroidered pillow.

Wen Liang hesitated for a moment, cleared his throat, and shouted: "King Xuan."

The man didn't move, and I don't know if he heard his voice.

Wen Liang was so nervous that his voice was trembling. It was the first time for him to face Shi Jin at such a close distance. In the past, he always looked at Shi Jin surrounded by crowds from a distance, elusive and unattainable.

He secretly pinched his palm with his nails, forcing himself to calm down quickly, and he said again: "Prince Xuan, forgive me, I have something to tell you."

The man still didn't move.

Wen Liang hesitated, he thought that Shi Jin might really be asleep, but if Shi Jin just fell asleep, what's the point of him coming here to say such a thing?

"King Xuan?" Wen Liang leaned forward, trying to wake Shi Jin up, "Can you wake up and listen to me? What I want to say is very important, and you will understand after listening..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Liang suddenly met a pair of opened eyes.

Wen Liang screamed in fright, stepped back quickly, and watched Shi Jin slowly get up from the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed, his black hair was scattered on his shoulders, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were empty, Her lips are purple and chapped, the lower half of her face is covered with beards, and she looks extremely depressed—where is the shadow of the handsome young man from before?

It turned out that Shi Jin hadn't fallen asleep just now, but just didn't want to talk to Wen Liang.

Wen Liang choked for a moment, he almost didn't recognize Shi Jin, he couldn't believe it...

Is the person in front of him still the glamorous and gentle Fourth Prince Shi Jin in his memory?

omg...

Why did Shi Jin look like this?

Wen Liang was too shocked to speak.

Shi Jin waited for a while, but didn't hear any sound, raised his head and looked at Wen Liang with those empty eyes, he seemed to recognize Wen Liang, there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, but it was fleeting: "Did they send you here?"

Wen Liang realized that the "they" in Shi Jin's mouth referred to Shi Ye and Wen Chi, and quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, I want to come by myself."

After finishing speaking, he thought of the eunuch who was still waiting outside. That eunuch was someone next to Shi Ye, so he quickly separated the relationship, "It is true that the prince's people brought me to see you, but the prince did not send me here. I want to see you myself."

Shi Jin looked at Wen Liang calmly, there was no doubt or hostility in his eyes, nothing, just like a stagnant water, he said: "What do you want to tell me?"
