After Han Yucheng was busy with government affairs, he came out of the Zhengshitang to go to the palace to discuss state affairs with the emperor, when he suddenly remembered something, and casually asked the attendant next to him: "Tomorrow is the day when the abolished prince and his family leave for Dingzhou?"

The attendant replied: "Responding to your lord's words, yes, it will be tomorrow morning."

Han Yucheng raised his hand to straighten his sleeves, turned his wrist twice, and asked casually, "Is everything arranged?"

The attendant lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "My lord, don't worry, everything has been arranged. To go to Dingzhou, we must pass through Xuyang. When the deposed prince arrives in Xuyang, our people will take action, and we will never let them reach Dingzhou alive."

With his hands behind his back, Han Yucheng raised his eyes and looked towards an unknown distance. His stern eyebrows and eyes were full of hostility, and he said indifferently: "Only the dead can control their mouths. Be sure to keep things tight."

The attendant clasped his fists and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

After leaving the gate of the yamen, the carriage was parked outside. Han Yucheng was about to get into the carriage when suddenly a man on horseback came from a nearby alley. The man was also Han Yucheng's confidant. What urgent matter, "My lord, my subordinates have something important to report!"

Han Yucheng turned around, nodded his head to signal his cronies to come forward to speak, and the man approached Han Yucheng, and whispered a few words in Han Yucheng's ear.

After hearing this, Han Yucheng's expression changed suddenly, he turned his head and stared at his cronies suspiciously, and asked in a deep voice, "You mean, King Xi took Princess Dongyang to Tianlao to visit the deposed prince?"

The confidant nodded solemnly, "My lord, I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is indeed Her Royal Highness Princess Dongyang!"

After confirming, Han Yucheng's face darkened immediately, but he smiled instead of anger, but there was no trace of warmth in his laughter. He looked in the direction of the prison, his eyes were cloudy, and after a long time, he only said two words with sarcasm. A word, "very good", then gave up the idea of ​​entering the palace now, got into the carriage, and ordered the coachman to turn the carriage around and head to the prison.

-

The sky prison is humid, hot, dark, gloomy, filled with unpleasant smells and the wailing of prisoners, like a purgatory on earth. Princess Dongyang is a daughter of gold, and she has been pampered since she was a child. She has never set foot in such a place. Rao Even she had seen too many strong winds and waves, and after entering the prison, she couldn't help trembling slightly.

Bai Jinfu glanced at Princess Dongyang's pale face, twitched the corners of his mouth calmly, turned sideways and saluted respectfully, and said leisurely: "The place inside is filthy, I'm afraid it will dirty Auntie's clothes, please ask Auntie to stay here." Wait outside, I'll go in and see Big Brother and Wuji first."

Princess Dongyang supported the maid's hand, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for your news here."

Under the leadership of the jailer, Bai Jinfu walked over to the cells where the abandoned prince and Duan Wuji were imprisoned. The prisoners in the sky prison were all serious offenders, male and female prisoners were separated, and there was often more than one prisoner in a cell. Two or three, four or five more, but the status of the abandoned prince's family is different from that of ordinary people, and the natural treatment is also different. Everyone is locked in a cell alone.

The cell of the abandoned prince is adjacent to Duan Wuji's. When Bai Jinfu walked in, the first thing he saw was the abandoned prince. The once glorious crown prince of a country is now reduced to a prisoner, with ragged clothes and unkempt hair. It is really embarrassing. The abandoned prince Seeing Bai Jinfu, his eyes immediately lit up as if seeing a life-saving straw, he crawled out from the corner of the cell, stretched out his hand from the iron bars, wanted to grab Bai Jinfu, and cried: "Seventh brother, you Did you come to see us? Is the father going to take back his life? Is he planning to forgive me? Seventh brother, elder brother has never been sorry to you, please help me to plead with father, elder brother really knows his mistake I beg him to forgive me!"

Duan Wuji who was inside heard the voice, came out also, and shouted at his father through the wall: "Father, you don't have to beg him! I would rather die than beg for mercy from this kind of person!"

Bai Jin Fu stopped in front of the abandoned prince's cell, watching the abandoned prince's hand reaching out to him, but he didn't have the slightest intention to catch it. Indeed, his kind brother had never harmed him, but who made him give birth to a child? An unworthy son who has no talent and no virtue and lives in the East Palace. The so-called common man is innocent, but pregnant is guilty, that is the case. Therefore, no one can blame anyone for the deposed prince's end today.

Bai Jinfu looked at the look in the eyes of the abandoned prince eagerly begging him for help, and said calmly: "Brother, the emperor has spared the lives of you father and son, and even rewarded you with a few acres of Susukida in Dingzhou for your livelihood. Although the journey is far away, it is better to save one's life than to stay in the capital and lose one's life."

Duan Wuji sneered from the next door, and said in a strange way: "Father, did you hear that? He didn't come to help us at all, he just came to see our jokes. Longyou was beaten by shrimps in shallow water, tigers were bullied by dogs in Pingyang, Seventh Uncle , don’t look at how proud you are now, Feng Shui turns around, today we are not as good as others, and we missed a move in chess, but maybe it will be your turn in the future, I will see how long you can be rampant!”

"You're right, but don't you naively think that you are destined to live until that day?" Bai Jinfu walked in and came to Duan Wuji's cell. However, his temperament remained the same as in the past, he was dressed in a prison uniform, and his arrogance remained unchanged. Aside from his defiant and rebellious temperament, he could be regarded as an admirable and upright man.

After hearing Bai Jinfu's words, the abandoned prince was worried that Duan Wuji's words would offend Bai Jinfu and attract Bai Jinfu's revenge, so he stopped Duan Wuji and apologized to Bai Jinfu, "Shut up! Don't be rude! Seven Brother, Wuji's words are rude, I will apologize to you for him, your lord has a lot, so don't argue with him."

It's really pitiful to the world's parents. Although the abandoned prince is mediocre and incompetent, he has lived tremblingly all his life under the pressure of his iron-blooded father. He is cautious and dare not disobey in the slightest, but for Duan Wuji's son, even if he is asked to risk his life, he is willing to risk his life. Among the royal family, this kind of deep love is really rare.

Seeing his father begging Bai Jinfu for mercy in a low voice, Duan Wuji was so angry that he slapped the iron railing several times, "Father! What are you afraid of him doing! He is a villain who pretends to be powerful, do you still believe that he dared to really kill us?"

Bai Jinfu snorted lightly, and slowly said: "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you, but to show you a way to survive."

Duan Wuji snorted, and said in disbelief: "You have hated me for a long time, I am afraid that you would be so kind to help me if you wish to see my decapitated body?"

The abolished prince was also skeptical, and asked worriedly: "Seventh brother, what do you mean by this? What is the way out? Who is going to kill us?"

Bai Jinfu didn't answer right away, he waved his hand and ordered the jailer to leave, then approached the iron fence, looked at Duan Wuji with a half-smile, and asked in a low voice: "Do you really think that if you help Han Yucheng hide his criminal evidence, he will protect you?" Life? Only the dead in the world can't speak, and you never thought that he would kill people to silence?"

Duan Wuji's complexion changed slightly, but he was still able to maintain his composure. He said coldly, "Stop stirring up discord, the matter has come to this, and I have other choices? Don't trust him, do you trust me? It's ridiculous!"

Bai Jinfu smiled slightly, "You don't need to believe me, but you have to save yourself a way out. Based on what you know about Han Yucheng, do you think he will let a hidden danger that threatens his status at any time be allowed by his behavior? in spite of?"

Duan Wuji turned his head to think for a while, then turned his head and stared into Bai Jinfu's eyes and asked: "Ming people don't speak secretly, what exactly do you want to say?"

Bai Jinfu raised his eyebrows, knowing that Duan Wuji's heart was moved, he said unhurriedly: "Tell me the handle on Han Yucheng you hold in your hand, and I will keep your lives safe, fair deal, Tongsou No deceit."

Duan Wuji suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed twice, "I thought you two were venting from the same nostril, but I didn't expect you to turn your back on it so soon, haha, good! That's great!" After laughing, he pointed at Bai Jin Fu said mockingly, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, so easy to deceive? If I tell you the evidence of Han Yucheng's crime, you can save my life? Who are you fooling? Don't think that without my father and Me, this world belongs to you, you, a prince without foundation, why should you fight Han Yucheng? You are just dreaming!"

"Why should I fight Han Yucheng? It's none of your business, but if you still insist on protecting Han Yucheng, I can guarantee that your father and son will never reach Dingzhou alive." Bai Jinfu raised his chin, calmly said, "I know you don't believe me, so I brought a witness here. As long as you tell me about Han Yucheng, I can swear that as long as I live, I will keep you father and son safe and sound."

Duan Wuji frowned, "Witness? Who?"

Bai Jinfu turned around and waved his sleeves, and told the jailer who was waiting not far away: "Go and invite Princess Dongyang in."

Soon, Princess Dongyang was brought in by the jailer. Although Princess Dongyang was the aunt of the abolished prince, they were actually about the same age. I couldn't help crying, and Princess Dongyang also wiped her tears with a handkerchief frequently, recalling the past, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Brother, even if you and Wuji don't believe me, you should still trust Auntie, right?" Bai Jinfu waited for them to cry for a while before interrupting them, "Today I invited Auntie here to be a witness. Write down the things you want and give them to your aunt for safekeeping, and I will also make a contract and hand them over to my aunt for safekeeping. When you arrive safely in Dingzhou, let my aunt hand over the things I want to me. What do you think of such a deal?"

Before Princess Dongyang came, Bai Jinfu had already told her about her intentions. Now the one who is most likely to ascend to the throne is Bai Jinfu. Princess Dongyang is also a judge of the situation. Of course, she is willing to sell this to Bai Jinfu. In exchange for a stable position in the future princess mansion, he also helped Bai Jinfu persuade the abolished prince and Duan Wuji.

Duan Wuji had actually been suspicious of Han Yucheng for a long time, but he had no other better choice than to trust Han Yucheng before. After careful consideration of Bai Jinfu's proposal, he agreed, and Bai Jinfu immediately let him go. The jailer brought pen and ink to Duan Wuji. In order to avoid suspicion, he left the sky prison first. After Duan Wuji wrote down all the evidence against Han Yucheng and handed it to Princess Dongyang, he went back in and wrote a letter to protect the deposed prince. The contract for the safety of father and son was handed over to Princess Dongyang for safekeeping.

After everything was done, Bai Jinfu and Princess Dongyang were about to leave the dungeon, when they suddenly heard Duan Wuji laughing strangely behind them, "Uncle Qi, I'm telling you these secrets not because I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, but for me. It’s already the end now, life and death don’t make any difference to me, the reason why I agree with your proposal today is to see how you and Han Yucheng will fight in the future, hahaha, Han Yucheng is not easy to chew Even if you get the handle on him, I still think you can't beat him, hee hee, I'm just waiting to see the show in Dingzhou, Uncle Qi, I'm defeated today and I can still have a place to stay, But if you lose, then you will really die without a place to die! Hahaha!"

After listening to Duan Wuji's sarcasm, Bai Jinfu pulled his lower lip, said nothing, flung his sleeves back, and strode out with his hands behind his back.
