In the dark dungeon, there are only a few wall lamps hanging between the cells. The flames are flickering, illuminating a small area, which is gloomy and damp.

Shen Wenxuan stood casually in a cell with his back leaning against the wall by the door, and in the cell behind him was Chi Ji who was being imprisoned. Not only were his hands and feet bound by iron chains on the wall, but even his shoulder bones were bound. The iron hook passed through and was firmly nailed to the wall. He couldn't sit comfortably. His clothes were stained with blood and stuck to his body, and his hair was disheveled. But if you look carefully, there is no despair or hatred in his eyes.

Shen Wenxuan waited patiently, and turned the ring on his left ring finger with his right hand at random. Since Jiao Shihan was brought with the Queen Mother, he turned the ring more and more frequently.

In the middle of the night, there was a slight movement at the end of the dead corridor. Two servants dressed as servants separated at the fork in the road. One walked this way, and the other might have gone to the cell of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. people.

The yamen at the door of the cell took out the key in his pocket to open the door, and then left. The boy came in with a food box and opened the lid. There was nothing inside, only a jug of wine and a wine glass.

"General," the young man poured a glass of wine and handed it to his mouth, "I didn't bring golden sore medicine and those stupid things, but I used it on the general to suffer a lot of skin pain. I know the general is good." If there is no wine, I simply brought a pot of aging wine to relieve the general's alcohol addiction."

Chi Ji couldn't help sneering, although weak but still unabated: "You and I know why you came here, why are you pretending to be here, bring me all the pot of wine, whoever drinks in a small cup. "

The boy withdrew his outstretched hand and laughed, and did as he said, opened the lid of the pot, aimed at Chi Ji's open mouth and poured it in, until Chi Ji couldn't stand the wound inside and couldn't help tilting his head and coughing. It took a few sounds to stop.

"Cool." Chi Ji smacked his lips a few times and sighed.

"General, I took a big risk when I came in this time. I think the general has heard about it. Tomorrow afternoon—" the young man paused and continued, "General, please tell me where your family members are now? Going to take care of it, it's all about the general's help."

"Oh," Chi Ji couldn't help but sneered, "Our empress—"

"General!" The boy interrupted him, his eyes threatening him not to talk nonsense.

Chi Ji thought it was funny: "What are you afraid of? Isn't this place already taken care of by your master? Come and tell me why she stabbed me halfway through?"

"The general misunderstood. At that time, the army was in chaos and the emperor was by his side. How could the master leave a mark in public for you to chase after me?" the boy said, putting the jug and cups into the food box with his lowered eyes.

"Look at me." Chi Ji said, staring at him with sharp eyes, until the boy stared at the pressure and looked into his eyes, Chi Ji stared for a while before smiling and playing: "You still have your master They all hate me, yes, after all, they are killing their father and enemy."

"Isn't the emperor the general's wife-killer and enemy?" The servant immediately got angry when he heard him say that he wanted to get angry but tried his best to restrain himself, "Now the emperor ordered a search of your Chi Ji's family members from all over the country. He has no influence, and he is wandering outside alone with his children who are not fully crowned, without anyone to protect them, and they will be arrested in a short time, is the general going to disregard the life and death of his family again?"

Chi Ji suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were like a desperate killing god, very cautious.

The servant calmed down slightly: "You and I didn't expect the rebellion in the capital to subside so quickly. The family members of your family should have not yet reached their shelter. The master is not only for the sake of the general, but also for your own sake. You know it well. Their arrest is very detrimental to the master, please also tell the general the specific itinerary of your family members, so that we can send someone to find them, but the general can rest assured that we will send them safely to the place you originally planned, general."

Chi Ji looked at him and let him talk wildly, but he knew in his heart that if Empress He really wanted to help him, the emperor would not be able to escape from the palace, but it was real to help cover up the Southwest and plant nails in the Imperial Army. He couldn't figure out what this woman wanted to do, and the masked man who suddenly appeared that night, if it was arranged by the queen...it's not impossible.

But now he is in jail, his former friends could not avoid him, he can no longer control these things, as well as the safety of his husband and children... He has no choice but to continue to board the Queen's ship up.

Chi Ji: "Come here, I'll tell you something."

The servant glanced at him a few times, hesitantly, but still suppressed his vigilance and listened to him.

"I have all the evidence of your master's crimes, including the letters I have reported and the letters your master has exchanged with me, all of which are kept in the hands of one person. If my husband and children do not reach their destination safely before I die , those things will be presented at the emperor's table." Chi Ji said it again quickly in a low voice, and smiled one last time.

The boy suddenly raised his eyes, he couldn't help clenching the food box in his hand, and the veins on his forehead bulged: "Chi Ji, you—"

Shen Wenxuan in the next cell also paused.

Chi Ji didn't care, and said with a smile: "My husband and children should be in a second-class house twenty miles outside the capital, please send them to where they want to go according to their requirements, don't think about doing it, even if I Even if I'm dead, you don't want your master to come down to accompany me, do you?"

These people calculated and plotted against him, but did he know that he was not stupid to become General Zhennan?Chi Ji was satisfied when he saw the flustered look of the lackey in front of him.

The boy thought about the time from here to the outskirts, he had nothing to say, and walked away quickly with his sleeves in his hand, while Chi Ji laughed wantonly behind him, even pulling the rotten flesh on his body was still fun, but slowly Slowly, at the end of his smile, there was a trace of sadness and bitterness, and he sighed when he thought of the person who had been with him for more than ten years.

Shen Wenxuan waited for the corridor to become quiet, raised his hand and knocked on the cell door a few times, and soon a guard came over to help him open the cell door, Shen Wenxuan came out, walked slowly to Chi Ji's cell, and met his gaze .

Chi Ji frowned, and the heart that had just let go immediately came to a head, with doubts in his heart.

Who is this man?Where did it come from?The woman didn't clean up?

Shen Wenxuan asked the Yamen to reopen Chi Ji's cell door, and when he got closer Chi Ji saw his face and his eyes trembled: "You—"

He swallowed the sound he wanted to utter in time, but like, really like, from the emperor's side?Chi Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stared at him tensely, slowly clenched the chain in his hand, killing intent welled up from the depths of his eyes.

Shen Wenxuan just stood at the boundary where he couldn't reach and stopped moving. He looked him up and down with his hands behind his back, and said, "I heard everything you said just now, and you don't need to pretend anymore."

Chi Ji frowned: "Who are you? The emperor sent you here?"

"No." Shen Wenxuan is very interested in him. After all, he is A Jiao's father, and he can still vaguely see A Jiao's shadow in the details, but fortunately A Jiao doesn't care about this stranger's father, and he doesn't have to. Care more.

"Listen to what the person said just now, you and the Queen belong to the same party," Shen Wenxuan said with a firm tone, "The combination of two hostile parties either has common interests or a common enemy."

He stared into his eyes: "So do you want to seize the throne or take revenge when you conspire to eradicate the emperor? It was the emperor who planned to kill the eldest princess Jiaqing back then, right?"

The eyes Chi Ji stared at him were cold and dark, without warmth, the more he looked at him, the more flashing impressions appeared in his mind, and he didn't speak.

"Answer me," Shen Wenxuan said in a cold voice, "I have already sent someone to chase the person who left just now. He can't see your husband and children, only my people can see it. Unfortunately, I hold you in your hands." I am looking forward to the evidence of some queens being revealed."

The subtext is that what you have can't threaten me.

"You son of a bitch," Chi Ji scolded through gritted teeth, "I remember you, who was hiding on the roof that day? Even if you hid your whole body, I would recognize you just by your dog eyes."

But even if he recognized it, he still had no idea why these people suddenly appeared that day. He couldn't figure it out, and he still couldn't figure it out now. Which side's power is this?Could it be a third party disrupting the situation?Why?

Chi Ji: "Who are you? Tell me, and I'll answer your question."

Shen Wenxuan laughed, his eyes were cold and cheerful: "It's just a commoner in the Southwest who was killed by the general. This year, the Southwest was raging with war, and the people were displaced and starved to death. The blood in the entire five prefectures flowed into rivers. It is estimated that they will go to the underworld. The souls of the dead are all overwhelmed, is the general satisfied?"

Chi Ji paused, his pupils trembled, and when he met his gaze, he suddenly moved his eyes away, looking a little guilty.

Shen Wenxuan continued: "Most of He Jin's old ministries were in the southwest, so this disaster must start from the southwest, right? You, the general of Zhennan, used the power in the south to help the queen suppress the news, and the queen's brother Prime Minister He also helped you hide the Southwest story, you just want the civil strife in Daqing, you want the emperor to be the king of the mourning country, and you don't even care about the lives of the people—"

"So what?" Panting heavily, Chi Ji gritted his teeth, staring at Shen Wenxuan fiercely, it was humiliating to be scolded by him with such a similar face, "He forced this! He is not worthy at all. Become the emperor of Daqing! If He Jin hadn't helped him conquer this country back then, he wouldn't know where Li Mian died right now, and the one who should be crowned the great treasure should be the eldest princess!"

"Dare to ask such a treacherous, ungrateful, filthy emperor who kills his feet, brothers, and veterans, what qualifications does he have to enjoy the prosperity and peace of the world?"

The killer killed the eldest princess Jiaqing, the brother killed He Jin who worked so hard for him, and the old minister killed the old general Mu who died in battle to save him.

The truth of that year was spread out in front of him one by one, Shen Wenxuan's heart sank, and he sneered coldly: "You have the final say on whether you deserve it or not? I don't care about your grudges. The foreign enemies also use civilians who join the army, without civilians, you are nothing! You will really use the civilians to block the knife here when you stage a love-hate relationship, heh, what is the difference between putting down the bowl and scolding mothers?"

"Let me tell you, I don't care what the emperor's character is, whether it's sleazy or vicious, all those who can't benefit the people by relying on the support of the people will go away, so, Chi Ji, you deserve to die."

Shen Wenxuan leaned closer to him: "In the past, he used civil wars to consolidate the throne and consumed the people. This year, you colluded with foreign enemies and killed the people in order to push him from the throne. It's just a bird of a feather. Why are you calling me superior here?"

Chi Ji was at a loss for words for a moment, his fingers clenched the thick long iron chain tightly and his palms were bruised, his eyes were red: "But the person you are devoted to has plotted to kill your family and your unborn child, don't you hate it?" ?”

Shen Wenxuan paused for a second or two without retorting, and said: "I hate, and I, as a mortal, will naturally hate, so I will pull him down from the throne with my own hands. Slowly grind away all the lives like a dog.

"But I won't move the common people," his voice suddenly softened, as if thinking of something soft, "Because I have a lover, once, he was one of the weak, and I was terribly afraid that others would bully him .”

Chi Ji stared at him blankly for a long while without saying a word. He was once a hero for the country and the people, and he was cheered by thousands of people in the street. The human shadow still survives in his corner.

The problem that was deliberately ignored was torn apart and stabbed in front of him. Does he regret it?Chi Ji didn't know, but at least he felt guilty.

"You did this because you were afraid of the emperor and didn't dare to face it head-on." Shen Wenxuan distanced himself and walked over to take a look through the gate fence. Wang Muze was standing respectfully outside, indicating that the matter had been settled.

Shen Wenxuan turned around: "Do you have evidence that the emperor murdered Princess Jiaqing, He Jin and Old General Mu? Tell me, and I will tell you a secret, you will definitely want to know."

Chi Ji seemed stunned and suffering, sighed for a long while and said: "Back then, when I faced He Jin, he was exhausted from defending against the enemy, and he couldn't last long, so I took this opportunity...beheaded him However, when I searched his belongings, I found an imperial decree, which was the imperial decree for the emperor to call him back to Beijing in case someone rebelled, but the secret decree given to us by the emperor was that He Jin wanted to rebel, so we came to rescue him."

"At that time, General Mu and He Jin were both dead, and I was the only one alive who realized something was wrong, but thinking that the emperor's foundation had been stabilized, and I still had family members in Beijing to take care of, I hid the imperial decree. Nothing happens, don't know, don't know..."

He smiled wryly, and shed a tear or two from the corner of his eyes while laughing: "You are right, if I had had the courage to expose this incident back then, it would not be the situation it is today."

"Where is the sacred purpose?" Shen Wenxuan asked urgently.

"Yes, yes..." Thinking of the eldest princess back then, Chi Ji laughed in a trance, "In her tablet, in Jiaqing's tablet, you will never be able to get it."

tablet?The first thing Shen Wenxuan thought of was the imperial tomb, but it didn't feel right.

"What about you? What are you going to tell me? I've told you the most hidden things in my life, what else can you tell me?" Chi Ji said, leaning against the wall dejectedly, regardless of being blocked The pain in his shoulder bones should be a little compensation for the people in the Southwest. He thought, since he was going to die tomorrow anyway, these secrets should be revealed.

Shen Wenxuan looked at him, whether it was disgusting or murderous, he said: "The child born to the eldest princess did not die, but was raised by the Ning family as a young son, but the Yin family was not righteous. Someone abducted him to Jingzhou before, and now he is my husband."

Chi Ji's eyes widened suddenly, Shen Wenxuan's words were simple, but the amount of information was huge, and he couldn't think about it carefully, his whole body turned cold when he thought about it.

Shen Wenxuan wanted to tell him that he made this farce and almost killed his child again.

What disputes and revenge, it was just a farce from beginning to end.

Shen Wenxuan opened the cell door and left without looking back.

"Wait! Tell me clearly! What happened back then?!" Chi Ji pulled the iron chain and desperately tried to climb to the prison door to pull him back to ask for clarification. He thought maybe he lied to him, but back then It was indeed Yin and Jiaqing who gave birth at the same time, and this person had no reason to lie to him.

"Come back!" Chi Ji wanted to break free of the chain like crazy, but the only response to him was the ruthless sound of the lock being locked.

"Who the hell are you?! Come back to me!"

The young master of the Ning family? ...Ningqing...Jiaqing...the child in my stomach wants him to live in the world like a breeze in the moonlight, Chi Ji thinks about what Jiaqing said, feeling top-heavy, Dizzy, the whole world became twisted and unpredictable in his eyes.

Shen Wenxuan walked outside the prison, and Weixiu was waiting outside wearing a night coat. When he saw him, he said, "Oh, you say that you still have to ask my uncle to help you with something. In the middle of the night, the cold wind blows me hard enough."

"You obviously want to know the whole story, so don't pin the blame on me." Shen Wenxuan rolled his eyes. I'm afraid it was Dali Siqing who didn't want to know. No, I obviously don't want to be involved in this matter. If I really understand it clearly, it would be like slashing at the emperor's scales.

Wang Muze stepped aside to reveal the two people who had been arrested behind him, one was the boy who was arguing with Chi Ji, and the other was the person who went to talk to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. They also brought thugs with them, but they were all killed. Only the two of them were left unconscious, lying on the ground as if dead.

In addition, there was a child, about seven or eight years old, sleeping in the arms of the guard.

Wang Muze explained: "It's the little grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. It is estimated that he agreed to those unwarranted things in order to save his heir. My son, these two slaves are nothing to worry about, but what about this child? The one who brought this child out just now The servant obviously wanted to do something to him, and turned his back on him."

Shen Wenxuan glanced at it, didn't pay attention, leaned over and pulled down the masks of the two servants, and his fingers stopped when he touched one of them. The two were said to be servants, but they were physically strong, obviously they had been trained, they didn't seem like The servant who serves people, now it seems that it really feels right.

"Wen Liancheng." Shen Wenxuan kicked the person next to him and chewed the name in his mouth, and the corner of his mouth curled up. He will never forget this face for the rest of his life.

He remembered the night when the frontier army and the Qiang people besieged Anhe County, and hatred rose up in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to keep them alive, but now he changed his mind and said: "Let these two people go, and send spies to keep an eye on them at all times. We must find out where the He family army stronghold is behind him."

Wang Muze: "Yes."

It's easy to stare at people, but children are not easy to deal with. Seeing that Shen Wenxuan didn't take it seriously, Wang Muze couldn't help but mention it again.

Shen Wenxuan glanced at the child in the arms of the guard, and was about to ask the guard to let the child go, but then thought that letting him go at this time was no different from letting him die, so he turned the ring on his finger a few more times in annoyance. Suddenly, a flash came to my mind, Huizhen and Huiji, who came to visit relatives in the capital, seemed to be still staying in Xiangguo Temple——

"Send him to Xiangguo Temple and drag him to Huizhen and Huiji to take care of him." Shen Wenxuan said, turning his back and leaving.

Wang Muze looked at his back and smiled, bowed and said, "Yes."

Weixiu followed Shen Wenxuan for a while, and the more he followed, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he stopped him and asked suspiciously: "Where are you going? This is not the way back to Shen's residence."

"Who said I want to go back to the house?" Shen Wenxuan put aside his hand, and straightened the wrinkled clothes casually. Now that he is ugly, there are still two hours before dawn, and there is still time. He wants to see him.

It was only a few steps from Dali Temple to the palace gate. Shen Wenxuan quickly changed into the clothes of the guards on the carriage. When the carriage stopped, he was about to get off the carriage. Wei Xiu grabbed him and said in disbelief, "Are you crazy? You Entering the palace secretly at this time? If someone finds out, no one will be able to save you."

"No, I've already made arrangements." Shen Wenxuan insisted on getting out of the carriage.

"You——" Weixiu was so anxious that his head was sweating, but he didn't dare to shout loudly outside the palace gate, so he could only lean on the side of the carriage and call him anxiously behind his back: "Shen Wenxuan, Shen Wenxuan, can't you wait for Ge Wucheng and Zhang Yujian to enter the capital before entering the palace? Hey! Are you in such a hurry?!"

Shen Wenxuan turned around and scolded him: "You don't care about Mr. Shen's business."

This brat!Weixiu's heart was on fire.

In the middle of the night, the gate of the palace could not be opened, Zhao Er had already secretly found someone to set up the tent inside and outside a hidden palace wall, but no one came in the middle of the night, so he walked back and forth in a hurry, Suddenly there was movement on the wall——

Shen Wenxuan sat on the palace wall and raised his eyes to look at the Changxin Palace far away in the sky, and jumped off the palace wall while supporting his wife.

"My lord, you are finally here." Zhao Er wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Shen Wenxuan nodded, covered his face with his hat, and Zhao Er led the guards who pretended to be patrolling from the palace wall to the main hall of the court, and then led by Yan Qi, who was in charge of guarding the harem, to Changxin Palace.

Jiao Shihan lives in the Yachen Pavilion inside.

In the middle of the night, there were very few palace maids and eunuchs coming and going. Shen Wenxuan stepped forward and knocked on the palace door. After a while, there was movement from inside. The person who opened the door was a young eunuch who hadn't woken up. Shen Wenxuan held the jade pendant in front of him. Let him wake up, the jade pendant is naturally the same jade pendant with Fengxiang pattern, and Shen Wenxuan has imitated many of them.

Hey, don't use it for nothing.

The little eunuch didn't understand why at first, but when he saw it clearly, he immediately woke up from fright, and asked him to open the door to invite him in: "Dare, dare to ask——"

"Go and inform the Queen Mother." Shen Wenxuan threw the jade pendant to him, turned his head and walked in along the chasing corridor. When he came, he had seen the layout of Changxin Palace hundreds of times. Now he was familiar with the road and walked quickly. The boy behind ran so fast that he couldn't catch up with him.

"My lord, where are you going, my lord?" The little eunuch chased after him and tried to stop him but dared not.

"Hush—" Shen Wenxuan moved his index finger between his lips to signal him to be quiet, "The Empress Dowager understands what I mean, she won't blame her."

The little eunuch glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and called another person to tell him to report to the queen mother. He ran behind Shen Wenxuan, and he hesitated to speak when he saw him enter the Yachen Pavilion.

No matter how tormented he was, Shen Wenxuan bypassed the sleeping maidservant, and went in without opening the door. Instead, he counted the panes and walked to the position closest to Ajiao's bed, knocking on the edge of the window.

Crisp and crisp, regular and not annoying.

Jiao Shihan curled up alone under the quilt and didn't sleep deeply at all. He opened his eyes after hearing the noise, stood up and listened for a while in doubt.

"Beep, beep, beep."

Really sound.

Jiao Shihan glanced at the green sleeve who was sleeping soundly on the small couch, and without calling her, she got out of the bed, stepped on her shoes and kicked to the window, and opened the window as soon as she heard the sound.

The cold moonlight leaked in, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw the person he wanted to see the most. He stood there stupidly, and a little burst in his heart, scalding the whole person.
