=======================

Concubine De has been in the palace for many years. Although her status is not low, she has never been favored. What she hates the most in her life is this young and beautiful person!

Although Zhao Changling didn't hinder her, but this face is his greatest weapon, Concubine De once saw a woman similar to him.

It was that proud and beautiful woman who took away all the focus and made her fall into the dust.

Concubine De was overwhelmed when she was young, but now she has become a master, she is no longer that cautious little girl!

Therefore, when she saw Zhao Changling, the past was vivid in her mind. Although she couldn't deal with that woman, she could handle this powerless proton in front of her.

Gradually, De Fei's soft and beautiful appearance struggled more and more, her long nails scratched the table unconsciously, and a treacherous smile rose from the corner of her mouth.

"Let's stop talking nonsense, Mr. Ling is extremely handsome, and it is your honor to be appreciated by the king. You must not disappoint my kindness!" Concubine De triumphantly raised her chin, smiling like a spring breeze.

Zhao Changling knew that this matter could not be resolved, and he did not want to bring out Ji Huai to threaten her, so he said in a deep voice, "What if I don't want to?"

"Hmph! Don't want to? It's not your turn to say no!" Concubine De patted the table heavily, stretched out her slender and delicate index finger, pointed at him and shouted angrily: "What are you? You know, people who resist me What's going on?!"

Zhao Changling really didn't know what would happen to him, but once some standpoints were regressed, it would be irreversible, so he no longer held back and said: "Madam, please tell me clearly, do you want to kill or cut?"

Hearing this, Concubine De laughed mockingly and said: "It's not good to fight too much, I have my own way to deal with such a tough guy like you!"

Although she hated him in her heart, Concubine De was obviously not stupid to be able to sit in this position. Of course she did not dare to torture a prince in private.However, if she wants to convince a person, she has many means!

Zhao Changling didn't know what her plan was, now that she was deeply trapped in the palace, it would be foolish to want to escape, he could only see tricks and tricks.

With the support of Eunuch Qi, Concubine De swaggered up to Zhao Changling, violently slapped his veiled hat off, grabbed his cheek, looked left and right, the more she looked, the more angry she became, and the strength gradually increased. The nails scratched the skin, and traces of blood flowed down the fingertips.

"If this face is disfigured, you won't be so arrogant, right?" Concubine De muttered to herself, not knowing who she was speaking to.

Before she finished speaking, she exerted more force with her five fingers, and saw that Zhao Changling's face was pale, but a pair of black and white eyes were staring at Concubine De without blinking, and there was a hint of wailing from her tightly pursed lips.

Seeing this, Concubine De cursed secretly in her heart: With such a stubborn temper, she is just like that woman!

Thinking of that woman, Concubine De let go of her hand as if it was bad luck, looked at him contemptuously, and then ordered: "Take Mr. Ling to a dark prison and keep him under strict supervision!"

Hearing this, Eunuch Qi gasped, and took a quick look at Concubine De's expression. Seeing that she was not joking, he hurriedly greeted the guards, and cut Zhao Changling's hands behind his back.

Just as Zhao Changling was about to resist, he heard Eunuch Qi whisper: "Mr. Ling, please be quiet and don't be impatient. Don't be stubborn with your mother, so as not to suffer."

Zhao Changling raised his eyelids and saw Concubine De with her hands folded over her chest, looking like she was watching the show, as if she was waiting for him to make a useless struggle.

"Let go, I'll go by myself!" Zhao Changling forcefully shook off the guards who were pressing down on him, straightened his chest, and said fearlessly, "You guys will lead the way ahead."

The guards looked at each other, carefully glanced at Concubine De, seeing her livid face, wishing to eat people and drink blood, they hurriedly lowered their heads in fright.

Fortunately, the clever Qi Gonggong scolded angrily: "Why are you still standing there, lead the way!" The guards reacted and hurried ahead, turning their heads from time to time to see if Zhao Changling was following.

Seeing them walking away, Eunuch Qi took a flattering step forward and comforted him gently: "Mother, you don't need to be angry because of him, be careful that you will damage your body!"

"Slap!" Concubine De slapped him suddenly, and ordered with a deadpan expression: "Open your mouth!"

Eunuch Qi was taken aback for a moment, then knelt on the ground, slapped himself, and said, "Damn the slave! Die the slave!"

On the other side, Zhao Changling followed the tall and mighty guards around the back garden and came to a dilapidated courtyard.

The palace walls carved with jade railings have lost their former glory, only accompanied by moss, and a few geckos lie quietly in the corner, resting comfortably.

Looking at the dusty path under his feet, Zhao Changling dodged left and right, not wanting to stain his green shirt with dirt.

Strange to say, he was not such a particular person, but since he came to this strange country, some of his little habits were gradually influenced by the original owner.

The guard with the sword who fell at the back turned his head frequently, hesitated to speak for several times, and under the repeated urging of the leader, he said softly in embarrassment: "Young Master Ling, we have to speed up."

Zhao Changling paused, and leisurely raised his head to look at the young man in front of him, only to see that his face flushed suddenly, and he was scratching his head in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.

It was the first time he saw such a shy man. Zhao Changling felt amused, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm making things difficult for my little brother, so I'll follow."

"Don't, don't, don't! You...don't call me little brother!" The guard became more and more embarrassed, turned around suddenly, and explained awkwardly: "I, I, I mean, I don't deserve to..."

Yes, he does not deserve it!He is just a lowly bodyguard, it is a great fortune to meet this world-famous young master, how dare he let him worry about it?

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged guard walking in the forefront became impatient and rushed over with gritted teeth. He was about to pull Zhao Changling's lapel, but was grabbed by others in time, and repeatedly comforted him: "Don't worry, don't miss the business!"

"Hmph! Keep up! Anyone who dares to delay the time, I'll take his skin off!"

Zhao Changling raised his head indifferently and followed behind silently, but his secret thoughts took root in his heart.

Soon, Zhao Changling was brought to a dark prison where the sun was overgrown with weeds and birds were not flying around.

"Go in!"

Zhao Changling was pushed heavily on the shoulder and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he grabbed the door frame, so he didn't make a fool of himself.

The leader froze for a moment, then sneered and said, "Are you a girl? Do you want me to carry you in?" As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter, what's more, they were already booing.

Zhao Changling gritted his teeth and straightened the veiled hat that was tilted to one side. It seemed that the sky was calm, but there was a huge turmoil in his heart.He just felt a sudden heartache and couldn't breathe.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changling's heart ached again, as if a flesh worm was eating his flesh and blood.

"Go in!" Zhao Changling frowned, clutching his chest tightly, and staggered into the messy haystack.

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually receding, Zhao Changling remained motionless, clenched his chest more and more, and his breathing became more and more constricted. If he raised his head, he would be able to see his pale face and dripping with cold sweat.

After an unknown amount of time, the pain in his heart finally dissipated. Zhao Changling slowed down his breathing, put his right hand on the ground, leaned his head back, and sat against the wall.

A few strands of hair stuck to his handsome face in the past, and his blue shirt was dirty. If others saw this scene, they would feel that the gentleman was in trouble.

However, in the dark prison where you can't see your fingers, Zhao Changling raised a strange smile, as if he was in a good mood, sweeter than eating honey.

Zhao Changling secretly rejoiced: "Concubine De, with your help, I will be out of trouble soon!"

In the empty dark prison, the faint sound of breathing can be clearly heard, but the panic of not seeing the sun can destroy people's minds.

Concubine De has always been gentle and generous in the eyes of the world, but her methods are extremely ruthless, killing people invisible!

This dark prison was built by Concubine De herself, the purpose was to punish the servants who made mistakes, to stay alone in the dark for two or three days, without eating or drinking, even the hard bones could collapse and beg for mercy.

Concubine De knew very well that even if Zhao Changling was not favored any more, he was still the seventh prince of Zhao State. If he was beaten, he would leave scars and lose his mouth. Mental torture is the best policy.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Changling was still leaning on his back, his breathing became weaker and weaker, but he never said a word.

Half a day passed, and the servants De Fei sent to spy on came wave after wave, but they still failed to bring good news, causing her to break several more cups.

The sunset on the western mountain, the sunset glow dyed half of the sky red, the smoke from the kitchen was curling up, and the people returning home came and went in a hurry.

Concubine De held her breath, trying to give him a good look, but even the water was cut off, the servants looked at each other, afraid of being affected.

At this moment, Eunuch Qi trotted in briskly from the outside, signaled the maid to step back with his eyes, and nimbly went over to rub Concubine De's shoulders, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Third Highness has come down."

"What is he here for?" Concubine De suddenly opened her eyes, furious, "This is the land of the harem, doesn't he know how to avoid taboos?!"

Although Concubine De is his mother and concubine, males avoid their mothers, and Ji Huai is his adopted son after all, so how can he come here in the evening?

"Tell him to get out immediately!" Ji Huai was not afraid of other people's comments, she was ashamed!

Eunuch Qi was pushed heavily by her, and immediately said cleverly: "Yes, ma'am!"

However, just as Eunuch Qi ran three or four steps, he was blocked by a tall figure walking towards him, "Third...Third Highness!"

"Who told you to come in!" Concubine De looked up and saw that it was indeed Ji Huai standing in front of her face expressionlessly, she pointed at the maid outside the door, and shouted hoarsely: "Where are you dog slaves going to die? Is it? Not even a single person can stop it!"

The maids rushed in immediately, knelt on the ground and shivered. Concubine De was about to have a fit, but Ji Huai interrupted: "Your Majesty doesn't want to see me. I have no choice but to be rude."

"Hmph! You should call me concubine mother!" Concubine De concubine gritted her teeth and said, "Ji Huai, you've been very courageous recently!"

Unexpectedly, Ji Huai was scolded by her, and instead of apologizing, he sneered and said, "Whose concubine mother are you?"

"You... you are very good!"

"Your Majesty, do you know that imprisoning a prince privately will cause discord between the two countries? If King Zhao breaks the covenant, you can afford the consequences?" Ji Huai spoke the cruelest words in the most indifferent tone.

However, after all, Concubine De had honed herself in the palace for many years, and she was not someone who could be manipulated. She immediately replied: "I didn't imprison him, it was because he didn't know good and bad, so he voluntarily went to the dark prison to reflect."

"Oh! Voluntary? Voluntary..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Duke Qi immediately bowed and saluted, "Third Highness, Mr. Ling has not had a drop of water for half a day. He is suffering from hunger and cold, so I am afraid he won't last long."

Ji Huai hated her so much, her bottomless eyes were more terrifying than a raging beast, but when she thought of that stubborn back, she endured it and threatened in a deep voice, "You better pray that Changling is okay!"

Before the words fell, he strode out.

Concubine De was trembling with anger, grabbed the teacups on the table, threw them to the ground, and scolded sharply: "What kind of good man is he pretending to be? What kind of lover is he! If he really wanted to, he would wait until now to ask for someone?!"

Eunuch Qi was taken aback, and quickly looked in the direction where Ji Huai was leaving, and softly persuaded, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Ji Huai had sharp eyes and ears, and when he heard Concubine De's cursing, he paused, then walked faster and faster, for fear of hearing such heartbreaking words again.
