But I wondered what Xiao Yan was doing now.Because on weekdays, he has been taking care of the man's diet and daily life, and at night, he also falls asleep in his arms.I don't know, did he sleep well last night?Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed out loud, even tears.

He grabbed a piece of rice with his hand and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, but he still couldn't taste it, he just felt his throat was terribly sour, and his heart was hurting like a tear.

He raised his head violently, and the words "ah" were rolling in the crystal tears.

He really couldn't understand why Xiao Yan had to be so ruthless to himself.Could it be that that person no longer loves him?

The whole day, Bao Rong thought about this question, and when he lay on the cold wooden board again, he realized how ridiculous and ridiculous he was.

thump thump ─ ─

Just when he was about to close his eyes and rest, he heard a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a soft knock on the door

Sounded.

"Master Shao Fu, Master Shao Fu──"

As soon as Bao Rong heard the familiar voice, he lost all sleepiness immediately, got up and ran towards the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Eunuch Zhang, who had sent him here that day, standing at the door.

"Eunuch Zhang, please come in quickly—" He hastily stepped aside, but he didn't expect Eunuch Zhang to speak anxiously, and said: "Master Shao Fu, something is wrong, this old slave wanted the emperor to sleep for a night, this anger The child has almost disappeared, but unexpectedly, the emperor's anger has not diminished at all, and now, he is leading a group of guards to rush to the dungeon where the prince is being held!"

"You said the emperor—"

"Master Shao Fu, go and have a look! In this world, the only person who can persuade the emperor is you—"

"Okay then, let's go."

Bao Rong didn't care about disobeying the emperor's order, and ran towards the dungeon before Eunuch Zhang.This Xiao Yan is really crazy!

"Master Shao Fu, it's cold at night, and this old slave brought you a piece of clothing, you can put it on before you go." Eunuch Zhang held a plain piece of clothing in his hand, and hurriedly chased after Baorong.

But Baorong didn't seem to hear it, and only worry and anxiety remained on his elegant and haggard face.

slap... slap...

Drops of water oozed from the cracks in the stone slabs above the head, and fell drop by drop on the cold and hard blue bricks, making a chilling and lonely sound.

Ji Ran was still full of arrogance, sitting against the wall with his hands on his knees, without looking at the hot food next to him.

"Prince, please eat something! If the emperor comes and sees your emaciated appearance, he will definitely blame the slaves for treating you poorly." The jailer kneeling outside the prison pleaded.

As soon as the words fell, there was a piercing sound of the iron door opening, and immediately the heavy and strong sound of green boots colliding with bricks spread in the humid air.

"Is he not eating?"

Although Ji Ran was so proud that he was not afraid of anything, when Xiao Yan's cold voice hit his ears, his body still couldn't stop shaking.

"Open the prison door!"

"Emperor, Your Majesty──" The jailer obviously didn't expect the Emperor to come here at this time, he was trembling with fear, and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Seeing his useless appearance, Xiao Yan didn't say anything else, he just winked at the accompanying guard behind him, and the man immediately stepped forward, untied the chain, and then opened the door, respectfully standing beside him side.

"How do you feel? Do you feel that living here is more comfortable than the Prince's Palace?" With a cold voice, Xiao Yan bent over and walked into the prison, staring coldly at Ji Ran, whose face had turned blue.

(14 fresh coins) Come here - give me a hard hit!

He looked at the prison cell, although it was rough and cold, it was still clean. A few rectangular planks were piled up on the ground near the corner, and a thin layer of straw was spread on it to serve as a bed.But for Ji Ran, who was used to sleeping on a warm and spacious bed since birth, it was a kind of torture at all.

"Tell me honestly, during the time when I was not in the palace, what else did you do to Mrs. Shao Fu?" Xiao Yan's tone was calm and without any waves, but it was this plain tone that made him laugh. Ji Ran felt even more scared.

Since he can remember, he has never disobeyed Xiao Yan, on the contrary, he is full of reverence and respect for him.In the past, he thought that his father was a man who was cold on the outside but full of warmth on the inside.But as time passed and he grew older, he discovered that this man with a cold appearance was also cold like a piece of ice that couldn't be spent in his heart.

"Didn't you hear what I was asking you?" Xiao Yan condescendingly looked down at the young man sitting in the corner, with a hint of sternness in his hoarse voice.

"I like Brother Rong──" Ji Ran clenched his fists, stood up suddenly, and yelled at his father for the first time in his life: "I have liked him since a long time ago, I know , Father likes Brother Rong, and I know that many people should not love him, but if you fall in love, you are in love. I can't leave him, not even for a moment, even if you want to kill me after hearing this, Father, I still This-"

"Shut up──" Xiao Yan stepped on anger, strode up to Ji Ran, raised his hand and slapped him heavily on the face, turning him over the head, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth .

"You dare to even touch my people. Do you think that you are the crown prince, and the throne will be yours sooner or later, so even I don't pay attention to it? Come, someone, and punish the prince with thirty sticks!"

"Yes—" The servants standing outside the prison door responded in unison.

After a while, there was a long and narrow wooden bench in the center of the cell. Ji Ran watched the two guards in light armor walk towards him, and shrank uncontrollably towards the corner of the wall. The strong bodyguard dragged onto the bench, and his limbs were firmly bound to the four legs of the bench.

Ji Ran struggled vigorously and shouted: "Is it wrong to like someone? If it is really wrong, then wouldn't the father make more mistakes? There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the number of women is almost piled up. Shan, even if the father only visits one person every time, it will still take nine years, but he just picked one out of so many people! Does the emperor have privileges because he is the son of heaven and is favored by the heavens?"

The wrist that was originally fair and soft is now worn down and turned red, which makes people feel distressed.

After Xiao Yan listened to his words, his patience had already been exhausted.

"It's right to like someone, but the mistake is that you picked the wrong person."

"I don't. I just like Brother Rong. I just want to stay by his side. If I have to blame, I can only blame you, Father. Who told you to let Brother Rong be my teacher ten years ago? If my other If there was someone else, maybe I wouldn't like him too, all this is all because of you, Father!"

Xiao Yan stood with his hands behind his back, anger leaked out of Leng Wu's eyes, and his knuckles were pinched and creaked non-stop.

"It seems that I dote on you too much on weekdays. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your dead queen mother, so that you understand what you should do and what you shouldn't—"

"Come on, give me a hard hit—"

Xiao Yan gave an order, sticking to the long sticks about the thickness of an adult's arm, stood on both sides of the bench, raised them high, and dropped them heavily.

"Pa --" the stick landed on Ji Ran's back mercilessly, and at the same time as the crisp sound, his body also bent upwards with a slight arc, and then fell heavily, holding back Pain forcibly swallowed the moan that slipped to his mouth back into his stomach.

The pain from last time hadn't been completely resolved, and it landed on the same place again. He pinched his hand tightly, forcing back the tears that filled his eyes.

Xiao Yan still walked steadily, and slowly retreated to the side against the wall, his eyes as thick as ink were deep and misty, as unfathomable as sea water.Now he has entered the age of [-], but the innate majesty and fierceness are even stronger than before. The honey-colored skin is full of mature masculine charm, with a strong domineering, infecting the prison cell. Every inch of space.

pop... pop...

"Ugh—" Two more hits on the already ripped and scarred flesh. When the wooden stick was lifted up, the blood attached to it was also splashed in mid-air.

Finally unable to bear it anymore, Ji Ran groaned, and raised his head violently, only to let people see that the pale face was already sweating like rain, with his mouth wide open, panting heavily, his lips There was blood all over his petals and chin.

The pain, Ji Ran felt that he was going to die from the pain, at first he still had the energy to count how many times he hit, so he had something to look forward to, but as he counted, his mind became confused.Could it be that Father really wanted to beat him to death to be happy?

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

His limbs were tightly bound, and he had nowhere to escape. Finally, he opened his mouth and bit the edge of the wooden stool fiercely, and closed his eyes again.

"Xiao Yan──" Bao Rong yelled loudly, and rushed in like crazy. The guards guarding outside the prison seemed to understand his relationship with the emperor, hesitation appeared on his face, and he didn't dare to stop him. He ran in.

"Stop, stop beating, if you continue beating, he will really be beaten to death." Bao Rong ran in and grabbed the hand of a guard with a stick, wanting him to stop, but there was no order from the emperor , who dares to stop.

The guard quickly withdrew his hand, and without changing his face, continued to inflict the cane on the man on the bench.

"Uh-"

Seeing that his actions didn't work, Bao Rong threw himself at Xiao Yan's feet, begging, "Your Majesty, that person is a
