The flute sounded leisurely in the prince's mansion.

Although it is winter, there seems to be drizzle like silk, the lotus leaves sway gently, and the raindrops slip quietly and fall into the pond.

In the Nuan Pavilion on the rockery, Zhao Chen stood by the window, and there was a piece of scorched earth in the distance.

The sound of the flute stopped, and Zhao Chen said quietly, "Come in."

Zhao Yin pushed the door open and entered.

He was still wearing light armor, as if he had come from a military camp.

He stood not far behind Zhao Yin, "Those battle reports were sent by you, brother, to General Sun's camp, right?"

Zhao Chen said calmly, "There is no evidence, don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Yin smiled self-deprecatingly, "Your brother thought he was smart and thought he had seen through your scheme, but he used this incident to lure people to the Prince's Mansion to find me and break through the adultery. But it turned out that you did it on purpose Let me see through, that my words to defend General Sun are your real intentions, right?"

Zhao Chen sat down on the low couch beside him, and wiped the jade flute with a handkerchief, "Third brother is loyal and upright. It is reasonable for you to speak out in favor of General Sun. Father will understand."

Zhao Yin sneered, "It's reasonable? Is this reasonable? Is it Sun Concubine? I don't understand why Brother Huang wants to kill me. I also don't understand what evil I have committed."

Zhao Chen said, "You are responsive to Han Qingwan's requests in private, and you want to help, right?"

Zhao Yin hesitated for a moment, "Yes. However, even though my brother had a good impression of her before, it faded later, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhao Chen believed this statement.

He thought about it for the past two days. When You Ning came back in this life, Han Qingwan didn't get much advantage from the very beginning, and Han Qingwan's true face was exposed early.Zhao Yin is not the kind of brainless person, and it is possible to rein in the precipice.

"You're still soft on her, though, aren't you?"

Zhao Yin didn't say anything.Facts speak for themselves.

Zhao Chen asked, "If Han Qingwan begged you to frame someone else Qingyu, would you do it?"

Zhao Yin said seriously, "Of course not."

Zhao Chen sneered, "You will. Or you won't really be ruined, but you just need to make everyone feel that she has been ruined. And when you do this, you may still feel that you are open and honest, worthy of the world."

Zhao Yin frowned, "Is it because of this kind of groundless speculation that the emperor killed the younger brother?"

It's ridiculous!

Zhao Chen looked at him coldly, "It's not something that came out of nothing, if there is a suitable opportunity, and there are reasons enough to convince you, you will still do it."

Zhao Yin resolutely said, "My brother will not violate conscience and morality."

Zhao Chen got up, "Go, I'll take you to meet someone."

After getting off the rockery, and passing through half of the garden, they arrived at the east wall of the Prince's Mansion. Zhao Chen jumped to the other side of the wall.

Zhao Yin immediately guessed who he wanted to see.

The gate of Luoyuan was closed tightly, and the guard outside the gate was a guard with scars all over his face.

Zhao Yin stared at him, "Your Excellency looks at Mian Shan, may I ask your surname?"

The guard with the scar was expressionless and opened the courtyard door without answering him.

Zhao Yin looked at him again suspiciously, and followed Zhao Chen into Luoyuan.

After entering the hall door on the first floor, Zhao Yin stood motionless at the door, with horror and anger in his eyes.

However, after not seeing her for three days, Han Qingwan had already described her as withered, her lips were chapped, like a flower that had just bloomed and withered in an instant.

Her hair was in a disheveled bun, her clothes were filthy, she was wrapped in a quilt and curled up on the low couch, panicking.

Hearing the movement, Han Qingwan turned her head to look at the door, stared at them with squinted eyes, with a little hope on her face, "Prince, but is the prince here?"

She hurriedly adjusted her hair bun clothes, lifted the quilt, got out of bed and knelt on the ground, said weakly, "Prince, someone poisoned this concubine, and I can't see clearly, please save my body! "

Zhao Chen's eyes were heavy, "Poisoning? I feel that you are using this method to atone for your sins, trying to soften Gu's heart. Or, to soften the third prince's heart."

Han Qingwan hurriedly shook her head, "No, no! Prince, you trust me! The food is really poisonous. I didn't dare to eat or drink all day today, so I didn't vomit blood anymore..."

She raised her head and begged, "Prince, take this concubine and leave here, someone is going to kill this concubine..."

Zhao Yin suddenly turned around to look at Zhao Chen, and said angrily, "Brother Huang is too cruel and merciless, since you don't believe her, just send her back to Dingguo Duke's mansion, why would you abuse such a weak woman!"

Zhao Chen sneered, "My heart hurts? Do you regret not taking her away that day? It's only been three days, so what's the matter. There are people who have suffered more than her for three years, but there is no one who loves her!"

Zhao Yin asked, "Who is that person? And what does it have to do with Miss Han?"

Zhao Chen gave Han Qingwan a disgusted look, and when he met her hollow and unfocused eyes, his heart was suddenly prickled.

He turned and opened the door to go out and stood on the porch.

"That person is dead. After taking poison for three years, he was blinded by the poison, and finally his neck was broken by the hanging beam. She is also a weak woman. She has never harmed anyone. Does she deserve to die?"

Zhao Yin looked at Zhao Chen, in addition to the surging anger, there seemed to be endless despair in his eyes.

He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out when a woman died in Beijing, and she had anything to do with the prince.

He asked, "What does this woman's death have to do with Miss Han?"

Zhao Chen sneered, "Gu Ruo said that she was the murderer, do you believe it?"

Zhao Yin shook his head, "I don't believe it."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Zhao Chen stared at him, "You have seen her situation now, if she begs you to help her, will you help her? Are you willing to violate your moral conscience for her?"

Zhao Yin was silent.

Even if he heard about the misery of others, he couldn't imagine it.But he saw Han Qingwan's miserable situation with his own eyes, and the visual impact was too great.He couldn't be completely indifferent.

Zhao Chen smiled sarcastically, "So, in front of her, what does the life and death of others matter? Third brother, after all, your heart has softened again."

Zhao Yin was speechless.

After a long time, he said, "I still don't know when I did what evil."

"There are some sins, you will never know if others don't tell you." Zhao Chen pointed to the guard with the scar at the gate of the courtyard, "Just like him, do you know that you are also responsible for the sins?"

"Brother Huang, why did you say that?" Zhao Yin stared at the guard, feeling very familiar, but his appearance was completely disfigured, his face was distorted and deformed.

He walked over unconsciously and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

The scar guard clasped his hands and said, "Third Highness, the humble Qiao Kun."

Zhao Yin said in shock, "You are General Qiao!"

He reached out to grab Jokun's arm, but he dodged sideways.

Zhao Yin looked at his almost ruined face, even though he had fought in the battlefield all the year round and saw a lot of blood, he still shuddered at the sight.

Qiao Kun is a mighty general in the northern border, he is only under General Cen, and he is upright and straightforward.

Just a few years ago, the soldiers and horses led by Qiao Kun were ambushed by the enemy, and the whole army was wiped out, and no one survived.

Qiao Kun said in a low voice, "Is it strange that the third prince is still alive?"

Zhao Yindao, "When we found you, the wolves had already devoured your corpses. Everyone thought you were dead. Since you are alive, why didn't you go back to the camp, why didn't you come to find me?"
