In the dark dungeon, Ah Cai looked uneasy and paced back and forth.

Early this morning, the guards around the regent secretly took him into a cell, and then the man came over in person to interrogate him.

"Tell me, how many benefits did your master behind the scenes give you to sow discord between me and the emperor?"

With one foot on the ground and one foot on the iron chair, Qi Yanfeng narrowed his eyes and looked down at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground.

"What does the prince mean by this? I am loyal to your majesty. Your majesty is my only master.

Your Majesty is young and still needs to rely on the prince for support. I only hope that the relationship between the prince and your majesty’s uncle and nephew will be harmonious. How can I instigate this? The servant is unjust. Please look at it clearly! "

Without substantial evidence, the young eunuch would naturally not be able to plead guilty easily.

"If you tell the truth now and be used by me, put away other thoughts from now on, and assist the emperor, I will not only let you go back immediately, but also grant you double the benefits before, how about it?"

The man's tone was very calm, and there was a smile on his lips, but it was so cold that it made those who looked at it feel chilled all over.

"It is the duty of a slave to serve His Majesty. A slave does not dare to dream of something that does not belong to him."

Ah Cai was not without temptation, but he was clear about the regent's methods.

If he refuses to say anything, the little emperor will still protect him as before. Qi Yan is concerned about the relationship between uncle and nephew, and he may still have a chance of survival;

If he did it and Qi Chen found out that he had ulterior motives, then he would really have no hope at all.

Although the young eunuch reacted very quickly, Qi Yan still keenly caught the fleeting moment of hesitation in the other person's eyes.

He didn't speak, he just stared at the little eunuch and sneered, his sharp eyesight seemed to be able to see through people.

The guilty space fell into a deathly silence, and Ah Cai lay on the ground. Although he was trying to remain calm, his palms had already broken out in a handful of cold sweat.

After a long time, when the other party's fear was almost accumulated, Qi Yan spoke slowly.

"It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. I thought you were a smart man, but it seems that I have overthought it. Do you think that because the emperor is protecting you, I will not kill you?

Why should I personally take action for a nobody like you? I have already intentionally spread the news of your arrest.

I wonder if the master behind you will take risks to save you after learning that you have been exposed?Or, abandon the car to protect the commander, kill people and silence them?

You don't have much time. You can still think about it before you die, but it's unclear whether I will be able to see you in time. "

Thinking back to the man's words, Ah Cai's eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. Time passed by little by little. He didn't know the time in the prison, he just felt that it was extremely long.

A rustling sound reached his ears, and he couldn't help but be startled, and looked around with vigilance and fear.

Fearing that he was the one sent to assassinate him, Ah Cai became increasingly nervous.

This fear of dying at any time was the most excruciating. The defenses in his heart collapsed little by little. Ah Cai finally couldn't bear the torture any longer, so he lay on the cell door and shouted:

"Come, is there anyone? I want to see the regent!"

After waiting for no response, Ah Cai raised his voice again and shouted one after another.

"What are you shouting about? You can see the regent just because you want to see him." A jailer yawned lazily, walked over, and slapped his whip on the wooden pillar of the cell door.

"Brother, I see that the prince really has something important to explain to the prince. Please help pass it on." He didn't have anything valuable on him, so Ah Cai could only keep his posture as low as possible.

"Look, do I look good?" The jailer also grinned, revealing his two front teeth.
