Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Da Zhou's water prison is located in a hidden dense forest. If Yun Fei hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Yun Fei would not have believed that there is a place in the world that is more eerie than Da Sheng's prison.
As soon as he entered, he was rewarded with dozens of whips, heavy iron chains were wrapped around his wrists, his body was suspended by gravity, and his waist was immersed in the bitterly cold salt water, irritating the burning wound.
Between twilight and waking, the miserable howling kept echoing in my ears, and the wind blowing past my ears had a strong smell of blood,
At such a life-threatening moment, he was fearless.
Before leaving, he secretly hid the poison that Chu Mingge gave him under the wall of the East Palace. No evidence was found, and even Chu Yan could not convict him.
Chu Yan came so aggressively that he was caught off guard for a while, but now that he came back to his senses, Chu Yan's remarks were completely preconceived.
Chu Yan's doubts were reasonable, but his reaction was a bit weird.
From another perspective, he was just a gift that was given from another hand. As the emperor who held the power of the world, Chu Yan paid too much attention to a gift.
If Chu Yan didn't like him, he could have secretly sent someone to execute him, so why put such a thing on the table and hurt the face of the royal family.
Those actions and reprimands were more like...beating Chu Cang.
Although they don't know what happened between the father and son, the relationship between Chu Cang and Chu Yan must not be that close.
As long as he understands this point, as long as Chu Cang has the heart to resist, his life will not be in danger for the time being.
Life is safe, but physical pain is unavoidable.
He moved his fingers that were so stiff that he couldn't stretch them. The dirty sewage reflected a bleak bright moon above his head. The water surface was like a calm mirror. Suddenly, a familiar face appeared on the mirror.
Yun Fei raised her head suddenly.
Chu Cang stood outside the prison, his eyes dimmed, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
Yunfei opened her mouth, and her voice was like a crack: "Your Highness...how did you come here?"
"Father spared Gu's foot restraint, so Gu came to see you." Chu Cang looked around and said softly, "Gu has also been here before, and now it can be regarded as revisiting the old place."
Yunfei thought of the harsh scolding he heard from Chu Yan before he was dragged away, and then looked at Chu Cang's obviously haggard face, and felt ashamed in his heart.
"It's all the subordinates who have dragged you down."
Chu Cang raised the corners of his lips coldly, unlocked the prison, and walked forward.
Yun Fei stared at him blankly.
"Since you feel guilty, then tell Gu, Chu Mingge's real purpose for letting you come to Gu's side."
Yun Fei's nerves tensed suddenly, he tightly closed his lips, until he pressed his lips into a thin thin line.
"If His Highness trusts his subordinates, his subordinates don't need to make more excuses. If His Highness doesn't trust his subordinates, it's useless for his subordinates to say more."
Chu Cang shook his head and chuckled, as if appreciative: "Good answer."
"It's just that, have you forgotten that you have only been with Gu for a short month, isn't it too early to talk about trust or not?"
Yun Fei was helpless: "If Your Highness is worried, you can kill me."
"Cultivating a killing knife is not a matter of a moment. Since you were picked up by Chu Mingge at the age of six, you have done a lot of things for him in ten years, except for many things that hindered his life. Such an easy-to-use killing tool , why is Gu willing to destroy it casually?"
After listening to his words, Yunfei knew that her own life experience had been thoroughly investigated. He lowered his eyes slightly, and Chu Cang was in front of him in the moment of silence.
A hand brushed over his waist, all the way down, the touch seemed to carry a slight electric current, Yun Fei's eyes widened, and the hairs all over her body stood on end.
Chu Cang smiled: "Besides, I haven't enjoyed this body alone, so how can I just let you go?"
Yun Fei bit her lower lip tightly, Chu Cang took off the mask of disguise, revealing her arrogant and willful true face.The same experience reminded him of Chu Mingge's reckless behavior when he was in prison.
Chu Cang's next words were like a bolt from the blue.
"Do you know that something happened to your loyal master?"
"Your Highness, what's wrong with him?!"
Chu Cang stared into his eyes, Yunfei had a premonition that what he said next would not make him easy, but as expected, when he spoke, Yunfei's heart sank instantly.
"Three days ago, Chu Mingge and Murong Xiu got married. Murongzhao joined forces with important officials in the court to expose that he imprisoned Shen Zhuoyu in an attempt to replace him, and surrounded the entire palace with a serious illness. Chu Mingge fought bloody battles, but was stabbed by Shen Zhuoyu at a critical moment."
Yunfei's pupils suddenly dilated, and Chu Cang smiled leisurely: "Not to mention you, I don't believe Shen Zhuoyu can do such a thing, and Chu Mingge doesn't even believe it. That kid is very good at hiding things, and his acting skills are amazing. He tricked Chu Mingge into a trap, and plotted against him with Murong Zhao."
Yun Fei interrupted him eagerly: "Where is Your Highness now?"
Chu Cang glanced at him with a deep chill in his eyes.
"I heard that he was seriously injured and fled out of the capital with the remnants of the defeated army. Now Murong Zhao and Shen Zhuoyu are hunting him down. The best outcome for him is to die from his injuries and die early, so as not to be caught by Murong Zhao. insult."
Yunfei took a deep breath: "Please help him!"
Chu Cang sneered: "Gu thought you were a smart person, but it turns out that you can't see the situation clearly."
Yun Fei calmed down, and slowly clenched her fists: "Your Highness has saved my life, so I can't stand by and watch. Please let me go. When I find His Highness, my subordinate will definitely come to apologize to you."
"He is ruthless and ungrateful to you. Why do you rush to die? And even if you go, what can you do? Chu Mingge's situation is gone. You might as well follow Gu with peace of mind. Gu will treat you better than him."
Yun Fei remained silent, Chu Cang was slightly sullen: "Could it be that in your eyes, I can't compare to him?"
Yunfei smiled wryly: "Your Highness, you also said it just now. How can decades of master-servant relationship compare to January's relationship?"
Chu Cang's face turned blue and red, and he emphasized his tone: "Don't be wishful thinking, there is no way I will let you go."
Yun Fei's eyes darkened slightly: "Then, this subordinate can only offend."
With a crisp sound, the iron chains on both wrists snapped.
Before Chu Cang could react, he was hit head-on by the iron chain.His vision went dark, and he staggered to hold on to the wall, while the warm liquid flowed, dyeing his vision scarlet.
Yun Fei took the opportunity to push open the cell door, Chu Cang gritted his teeth, and swung a palm enduring the severe pain. Yun Fei dodged and saw him stumbling, but finally couldn't bear it, stepped forward to hold his arm, and Chu Cang gave him a hand. Grabbing his collar: "How dare you hurt Gu, a slave?!"
Through the blood mist, he couldn't see Yun Fei's expression clearly, he could only hear an apologetic voice: "This subordinate did this as a last resort. Your Highness is in an emergency situation, and this subordinate cannot leave him alone."
Chu Cang was trembling with anger: "Yes, he is your master, but do you know that he was the one who led Gu to your yard that day, and it was Shen Zhuoyu who wanted Gu, and he used you in exchange, so Master, you still want to serve him?"
Yunfei paused, Chu Cang thought he was moved by his words, so he slowed down, and when the pain on his head got better, he spoke again with difficulty: "It's too late for you to stop now, so I'll spare you not to die?"
Before he finished speaking, an iron nail was nailed into his shoulder blade with precision.
Chu Cang frowned, the pain distorted his facial features, Yun Fei forcefully helped him to the wall and sat down: "Your Majesty, be careful, your Highness will recover after a few days of rest, and your body will not be damaged."
Chu Cang's bloody face was stained with anger: "You remember, I will never forget today's humiliation!"
Yun Fei said in a low voice: "If there is a day to meet again, this subordinate will definitely make amends with death."
After finishing speaking, he neatly took off the badge on Chu Cang's waist and hid it in his arms.
Chu Cang was about to pass out because of the pain, Yunfei thought about it, and put him in a conspicuous place, so that as soon as he woke up and made a sound, the guards would hear his call for help.
"sorry."
He turned around and left the dungeon without looking back.
It took several days to travel from Dazhou to Dasheng. With Chu Cang's waist card, he easily pulled out the horses from the royal stables. The journey was unimpeded, and he soon reached the border of Dasheng.
After Chu Cang woke up, he immediately sent out pursuers, but Yun Fei had already fled without a trace. Chu Yan heard about this and punished him severely. Chu Cang almost vomited blood. Zhou's prime minister.
The prime minister's surname is Su, and his single name is Yizi.He is resourceful and unparalleled in the world, and has won Chu Yan's trust.Chu Yan regards him as a minister, and I'm afraid he would never have imagined that the prime minister couldn't bear his tyranny and capriciousness, so he cast himself under Chu Cang's command early on.
Su Yi was secretly invited to the East Palace. Seeing Chu Cang's face, he was shocked: "Who is so bold to hurt His Highness like this?"
Chu Cang gritted his teeth: "Don't mention it, he is a slave. He snatched Gu's badge and ran away. Gu asked you to find a way, how can you catch that slave back without telling the truth from your father?"
Su Yi hesitated: "Dare to ask Your Highness, that slave is..."
"He is Chu Mingge sending the orphan away, his name is Yun Fei, and when he heard that something happened to Chu Mingge, he hurried back to Dasheng."
Su Yi was startled, and disbelief flashed in his pupils.
……
When Yunfei arrived in the capital, as Chu Cang said, the capital was in chaos, the streets were no longer bustling and noisy, and guards with long spears and swords were patrolling at all times. Although the traces on the ground had been cleaned countless times, they were still Through the remaining traces, one can glimpse the brutality of the battle a few days ago.
Yunfei didn't dare to act in a high-profile manner, and didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that the guards would notice him, so he left his horse outside the city, and went into the city alone to search aimlessly.
For seven or eight days in a row, there was still no news of Chu Mingge. Now the people kept secret about the Prince Regent, and anyone who mentioned it would be punished. He could only hang out in the streets and alleys, and get a little information from the soldiers in charge of the search.
Murongzhao betrayed and conspired with Shen Zhuoyu to push Chu Mingge to a desperate situation. After being seriously injured, Chu Mingge disappeared.Murongzhao began to purge the officials in the court with full force, Shen Zhuoyu regained the throne, and listed Chu Mingge as a traitor.
The more news she got, the more worried Yun Fei became.
He didn't believe that Chu Mingge died just like that.
But, where exactly is Chu Mingge now?
