I run a newspaper in ancient times

There are four dark walls, no windows, and only an iron door tightly closed. Obviously there is nothing in this dark room, but the air is filled with a rotten musty smell, and there is still a lingering smell. Bloody smell.

This is the dungeon of the Punishment Department, and it is the place that all the people in the palace fear the most.

The inside of the dungeon is closed and dark, even colder than the icy world outside. The fear will soon grow and magnify, and then adhere to the skin and flesh, as if there are too many lingering ghosts dormant in the darkness, staring at every one of them. The living people who come in absorb life, and then they are brought into hell together, even the most daring people will be scared out of their wits within a day after being imprisoned.

But this time the person who was locked in just sat quietly, neither making noise, making no noise, not going crazy, not calling for help, if you give a little light to see him clearly, you will find that his eyes are frighteningly bright , seemed to be full of expectation, staring at the iron door closely, as if knowing that someone would open it.

Finally, when footsteps came, he smiled.

The iron door opened with a heavy squeak, and before he saw anyone coming, he couldn't wait to ask, "Is the dog emperor dead?"

The light of the torch shone in, and Li Li appeared at the door, and calmly replied: "No."

Zhang Banban smiled and said affirmatively, "It will be soon." He was very aware of Emperor Yan's physical condition, and he was very relieved to see the dilapidation with his own eyes.

Li Li didn't deny it, he looked at Zhang Banban, squatted down and asked, "How did you trick him into taking these poisons?"

Zhang Banban leaned against the wall, his whole body relaxed, as if he had completed a major mission, he didn't care about life and death, so he almost knew everything.

"The emperor had never dared to have an heir before, but he didn't want to attract the attention of the harem and powerful officials, so he could only rely on the prince's medicine to prevent the concubine from getting pregnant, right?"

Zhang Banban's words pointed out Li Li's confusion, which was unexpected and reasonable.

I don't even believe this... Li Li suddenly felt absurd.

Zhang Banban could see his astonishment, and that appearance pleased him again.

"At that time, brothers depended on each other, so there was a lot of trust. But who made the prince more and more powerful? Even the concubine Yu spoke for you. In order to hold you back, the emperor naturally wanted an heir, but he just stopped taking the medicine. Afterwards, there was still no movement in the harem, wouldn't you be suspicious?"

Li Li didn't care about the sarcasm on his face, and just said: "There is nothing wrong with that medicine. I made it myself, and it was tried by others. You only need to stop taking the medicine for half a year, and all its properties will disappear."

Zhang Banban sneered and said: "Half a year, that's too long! People who want to have children just can't wait for three months, so they start to think wildly. Just push it again and make a fire, and he can scare himself Not to mention, Prime Minister Zuo's vision is indeed vicious, among the many princes of the former emperor, this one is the most incompetent, anyway, if he makes a mistake, it will definitely be someone else's fault."

"He sent you to check the medicine."

"That's right, be careful not to let you know."

"He believes everything you say? With so much suspicion, it's impossible for him to have no doubts."

Zhang Banban said with emotion: "Of course he is suspicious, but I'm not in a hurry. He likes to get into trouble. During that time, he couldn't sleep at night and was too worried. Didn't he just empty out his body quickly? After the time he fainted on Zhou Meiren's stomach, he was convinced."

Li Li's fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, but his face remained calm: "It's a good plan."

Zhang Banban was not humble, he was very proud and accepted it calmly.

"From the moment he took the first medicine, the emperor could never go back. Even though he knew he had been tricked later, how could he, a lonely man who was betrayed by everyone, admit his failure? Cowardly and evasive, but ridiculous Still arrogant..." When Zhang Banban said this, an intoxicated look began to appear in his proud eyes, as if he was extremely satisfied that a eunuch could push the king of a country to this desperate situation, "I just helplessly Look, when he hesitated for a moment, I stabbed him, and he walked into the abyss step by step without looking back."

"Does this king want to cheer for you?" Li Li stood up unbearably, "It's amazing. Brother Huang was pushed to this point step by step by you, and we two brothers went against each other because of this. It is really not wronged at all."

Zhang Banban said with a smirk: "Your Majesty, the old saying goes that all heroes die at the hands of little people."

Li Li shook his head: "You are not a small person, and neither is Yang Shou. Remember the grace of saving your life. When you are preparing to avenge them, you are the protagonists."

Zhang Banban was not surprised at all that Li Li was able to find out the past, and praised: "The prince has great powers."

"I'm just wondering, Zuo Xiang, who is clearly the culprit, why did you take revenge on our brother?"

Zhang Banban laughed loudly: "Master Zuo? At this point, do you dare to ask the prince if you will give him a happy ending? Fan Zhiyuan's identity has been exposed, so you should reverse the case for Marquis Dingbei next, right? Dingbei Once Hou's grievances are cleared, wouldn't this colluding with the enemy and betraying the country and framing Zhongliang be leftist? With such a serious crime, no matter what happens, the nine clans will be wiped out! I can't think of a more suitable ending for him."

"It's too much of a gift for you to be a eunuch! The princess died too early, otherwise, with your assistance, there would be no such thing as our brothers."

Mentioning the crown princess, Zhang Banban's eyes turned red, and his arrogance dimmed in an instant, and he said sadly: "But I am too humble to save her, so I can only watch the little highnesses go with her. If you have the ability of the lord, you can even send one away like you saved Wei Lan! My lord, since you are kind-hearted and even saved Wei Lan, why didn't you save them? That's your nephew!"

Li Li smiled and spit out four words: "Thanks for saving my life."

Zhang Banban took a deep breath, suppressed that bit of anger, then relaxed, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I will see the princess and concubine soon, and I will serve her. If the prince is not in a hurry, why don't you let me go?" I heard the sound of the landslide bell, and my wish was fulfilled? If you want me to say that letting the emperor go like this is in your best interest, you are welcome."

When the emperor passed away and died, the funeral bell rang nine times, resounding throughout the entire imperial city, and Zhang Banban could hear it.

However, Li Li said: "Then you have to wait, maybe you can hear it in four or five years."

The smile on Zhang Banban's face gradually disappeared, and he said gloomyly: "Impossible, with his dilapidated appearance, there is only one breath left. He can't even survive this winter. How can there be such a long time? You lied to me!"

"What are you doing to lie to you? The imperial doctor is helpless, but who is my master? It may not be possible to restore him to health, but it is easy to delay his life for a few years." Li Li sneered, "You can count the days slowly here. Wait a minute, I will send the remnants of the former prince's residence and your minions to meet the master underground."

Zhang Banban's relaxed body suddenly tensed up. He stared at Li Li, and asked strangely: "Why should the lord save him at this point? You have paid so much for him, looking for virtuous ministers, eliminating Zhongliang, in order to avoid suspicion, even You don’t interact with courtiers in private! You don’t care about what you do. Is there a better brother than the prince in the world? You have done your best, and you will be grateful if you are more tolerant. But he still suspects you so much I want you to die immediately, I want to catch you all the time, I even dream of seeing Fan Zhiyuan lose the battle at night, you kneel at his feet and cry bitterly, you are almost hysterical! Tell him to go see the first emperor quickly Isn’t it good that you ascended to the great position in a justifiable way, reversed the case for Marquis Dingbei, and let Fan Zhiyuan remember your kindness forever, lord, isn’t that good? Let the world submit to your feet, and let you make the world peaceful, isn’t it good?”

Every word and every word is poking at people's hearts, bewitching him to kill his brother!

However, Li Li shook his head: "But I just want to keep him alive."

It was because of Li Li's resentment that he gave the traitor an opportunity to take advantage of Emperor Yan's path of no return.

When he left the dungeon, Zhang Banban was eager to pounce on him, but unfortunately the iron gate that slammed shut separated him, and he shouted at him: "It's ridiculous, I never knew that the prince is so kind and soft, and the kindness of a woman The emperor will never reverse the case for Ding Beihou, even at this point, he will not admit his fault, he still hates you! What are you trying to do?"

Li Li paused, then turned around: "At least it won't be as you wish, brother kills, since he protected me back then, I will protect him too."

Zhang Banban's canthus is about to burst.

In the Mingzheng Hall, the surroundings were quiet, Emperor Yan wanted to open his eyes, but the aches and weakness all over his body made him unable to do even this simple task.

He felt very cold, as if he was in a world of ice and snow, but when he felt that he was going to die, the throbbing pains in his internal organs told him that this life was still alive, but he was too weak to moan.

Consciousness gradually came back under the pain, and the stiff limbs finally regained consciousness. At this time, he realized that someone was holding his wrist and sitting beside him.

A voice suddenly came from the side.

"When will you wake up, Master?"

This voice was so familiar, it made Emperor Yan's teeth itch with hatred. Every sleepless night, he regretted that he had saved this kid and left himself with such a big trouble.

Emperor Yan felt that Li Li must be very happy now, getting what he wanted was just a show of concern, which made him sneer from the bottom of his heart.

After a while, the person next to him said a little annoyed: "What kind of mess did you eat? The toxins reached the limbs, heart and lungs, and the anger came out again. How could it be so easy to wake up? If you didn't ring the bell directly, it would be counted as him." Fate!"

Probably thought it was too serious, Master Yun said in a soft tone: "You said that you are so young, why can't you think about it so hard, but you are trying to ruin your body?"

Li Li fell silent for a moment, then said softly, "It's all my fault."

Emperor Yan who originally disdained his hypocrisy, but when he heard these words, his heart, which was suffering so much, still trembled violently at this moment.

Suddenly a hurried footstep came in, and the queen mother said: "Several bottles of medicine were found, all of which were tricked by the dog slave to the emperor to eat! Master Yun, please show me, now the emperor...but there are..." The queen mother When he said this, he choked up and couldn't continue.

The empress dowager looked at Master Yun cautiously, fearing that she would scare away the hope that she was not serious.

The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital have all been to see them a long time ago, but shaking their heads makes people despair. The only hope is in the hands of Master Yun.

Master Ke Yun just sighed deeply, put down Emperor Yan's wrist and said, "Empress Dowager, why don't you take a step to speak."

The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Yan and nodded worriedly.

As they left, everything sank together with hope, so that Emperor Yan was disheartened, his body was only known to him, he was at the end of his strength, and his organs were like a dying person, gradually unable to support, and returned to silence.

In fact, Emperor Yan did not doubt Zhang Banban, nor did he realize that his aggravated illness was too strange, but just as Zhang Banban said, he did not dare to think, did not want to believe, the last person he could trust around him was pregnant. Yixin, dealing with himself, can only go to hell step by step.

However, no matter how he escaped, the reality finally dealt him the heaviest blow.

As an emperor, no matter how failed and incompetent he was, God couldn't bear to see him and abandoned him.

He lost.

However, just as he gave up, a low voice suddenly came from his ear.

Li Li didn't leave with him, but stayed behind and said to his unconscious elder brother, "Brother, I'm sorry, please wake up."
