When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

The Queen shook her head and murmured, "Impossible! This must be a mistake. This is absolutely impossible."

The prince wants to overthrow the emperor's kingdom, he is a traitor to the country!

She is the emperor's empress, and they are one as husband and wife, and they have the same stance.

How could her brother help outsiders to harm them!

This is absolutely impossible!

The emperor smiled bitterly and growled with gnashing teeth:

"For just ten thousand taels of silver, he accepted ten thousand taels of silver from the great prince! He can help the great prince cover up many things, hehehe..."

Who dares to believe it!

Who could have thought of that!

Chen Guojiu actually helped outsiders to deal with his own brother-in-law, and the reason was just for-----money?!

He didn't believe it at all at the time, but the secret guard brought solid evidence, and the confession of the housekeeper of the prince's mansion matched the account book.

It extinguished his last fantasy.

The Queen screamed, "This is impossible!" This must be a slander.

Who wants to harm the Chen family?

The emperor looked at the queen's face full of doubt and he just found it funny.

It turned out that the queen didn't trust her husband very much. At this time, she was more willing to trust her family.

That's all! In that case, let her reveal the answer herself.

"If you don't believe it, go ask him in person. I'll allow you to visit him at the Dali Temple and let him answer your questions in person."

The emperor felt tired and returned to his bedroom with heavy legs, exhausted both physically and mentally.

The queen staggered to her feet and called the palace maid to change her clothes. It was rare that the emperor agreed, so she wanted to go see her brother immediately.

In the death row of the Dali Temple, Chen Guojiu had long lost his former noble appearance. He was now wearing prison clothes and was dirty all over.

His hair had become tangled and smelly because it had not been combed for a long time, and it was also infested with lice. From time to time he had to scratch his scalp with his hands to relieve the itch.

He even hated the smell on his body, but he didn't even have enough water to drink, so he couldn't even think of such a luxury as taking a bath.

As for food, let alone food, when he first arrived, he would rather starve to death than eat.

But after he had been hungry for two days and felt dizzy, the sight of prison food was like seeing his own family, and he no longer pretended to stuff it into his mouth.

The feeling of being hungry was so unbearable. He had never suffered such pain since he was a child.

He finally realized that the jailers really didn't care whether he lived or died.

Eat if you want, die if you want!

He didn't give him, the king's uncle, any face at all.

When others don't care about his life or death, he becomes afraid instead.

He doesn't want to die, he wants to live, and live a glorious life.

He is the uncle of the emperor who holds a high position!

The emperor is angry now, so just lock him up for three to five days to vent his anger. As long as he is alive, he will definitely wait for the day when he is released!

When the time comes, he will come back to find trouble with these bastards!

He waited and waited, until his hopes were shattered bit by bit. Not only did he not receive the emperor's order to release him, but not even a single person from the Chen family showed up.

Where is his father? Where is his mother? Where is his sister, the queen?

How come no one came to see him? Has everyone given up on him?

Do not!impossible!

There must be a villain who wants to harm him!

He finally panicked. He shouted and screamed, trying to attract the attention of the people outside, but all he got was the jailer's ruthless whip.

He was quiet for a few days, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he started crying hysterically and hit his head against a pillar to kill himself...

The jailer and his guards stood outside the cell and watched him coldly, neither stopping him nor making things difficult for him. They just let Chen Guojiu commit suicide.

How can he still make a fuss? He did this just to make the people above him feel bad.

But these damn jailers refused to even report it. He wouldn't gain anything by banging his head against the pillar, so why bother?

When the jailer saw that he had calmed down, he mercifully warned him:

"My Lord, we have imprisoned relatives of the emperor and ministers in this cell. We are always following the rules. If you have the ability, get out of here.

If you can get out, you will still be the honorable uncle of the king, but if you can't get out, you will be just an ordinary prisoner here.

We have not imposed any additional restrictions on you, but if you insist on seeking death, we will not be polite.

The death row has its own rules. No matter who enters here, they must abide by the rules here!"

The following words were so cold and sinister that Chen Guojiu shuddered. He still asked without giving up:

"Has no one from my Chen family ever come? Did you deliberately prevent us from meeting? Let me tell you, my sister is the queen! It will not be good for you to offend my Chen family!"

He could only speak harsh words in a timid manner.

The jailer sneered, "My Lord, we all know your identity, so we didn't torture you at all. It was you who was crying and banging your head against the pillar.

Don't worry! As long as the emperor has the order, I will never stop anyone from coming to see you."

No one is coming in now, which means the emperor doesn’t allow it!

Chen Guojiu finally faced reality. Not only did the emperor have no intention of releasing him, he even refused to allow his family to visit him!

It seems that the emperor is not going to forgive him this time. He is finished.

Chen Guojiu's arrogance was extinguished in an instant.

There wasn't even a spark left.

From then on, he wisely stopped making trouble.

Originally he hoped that an imperial decree would come to rescue him soon, but now he is afraid that an imperial decree will come to take his life!

When the queen came in with her mouth and nose covered with a white handkerchief, what she saw were the dirty brothers sleeping on the not-so-clean straw on the ground.

She was furious and scolded the jailer and the guards: "Who gave you the guts to torture the emperor's uncle?"

The jailer replied calmly:

"Your Highness, we are guarding the prince-in-law under the orders of the Emperor, and we are not allowed any special treatment. We are all following the rules. This is the treatment that death row should receive."

The Queen was almost choked to death by the jailer's answer. What he said was correct. Uncle Chen was thrown into the death row by the Emperor, and this was the condition in the death row.

If you feel sorry for him, you can just take the imperial edict and get him out of the death row. Why make things difficult for us as officials?

We have no right to let him out.

The queen's chest rose and fell violently with anger, but in the end she suppressed her anger and drove them all out.

"All of you please go down. I want to have a private conversation with my uncle!"

The jailer did not stop him this time. He had already received an imperial decree to let the empress and the emperor's brother-in-law talk.

After everyone had left, the uncle dared to rush to the prison bars and looked at the queen hopefully. He asked anxiously:

"Sister, is the emperor going to let me go? Will he let me go home today?"

He doesn't want to stay in this crappy place for even a day!

The queen approached the death row and looked at her brother who had lost a lot of weight and looked in a miserable state. Tears finally fell from her eyes.

When Chen Guojiu saw this, his heart went cold. He asked in disbelief:

"Is the emperor still angry? How long will he keep me locked up? Sister, sister, you have to save me..."
