Outside Nan'an City, in a dilapidated and deserted mountain village.

When Emperor Chu woke up, he saw not only Zong Zheng Xingyao with his hands and feet tied, but also his fourth son Zong Zheng Wuxie who was supposed to be imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

There was intense emotion in his eyes, but now all three of them had Seb on their lips, so no one could say anything.

The Emperor of Chu was so angry that his chest heaved violently and he rolled his eyes. After a while, he could no longer shout and could only slowly calm down.

Just as he calmed down, the door creaked open.

Li Qingluo, dressed in men's clothes and with his face covered, walked in.

When the Emperor of Chu saw her, he immediately started struggling again with a "mmmmm" sound.

However, Li Qingluo didn't even look at him, but walked straight towards Zong Zheng Xingyao.

He took out the gag from her mouth and handed the water bag to her.

"Drink water."

"Such a delicate princess, I don't want you to die of thirst."

She deliberately lowered her voice, and because she was wearing men's clothing, it was difficult to tell whether she was a man or a woman.

Zong Zheng Xingyao glared at her angrily, "I won't drink! Release my father first, or I'll die in front of you!"

Li Qingluo: "Oh, that really scared me."

"He is a tyrant, yet he has a daughter as filial as you. God is truly unfair."

Zong Zheng Xingyao continued to cry out with tears in his eyes, "You lunatics! If it weren't for the Nangong clan setting fire to my father's secret room that day, you traitors wouldn't have had the opportunity to kidnap my father!"

"Of course I won't stand by and watch you harm my father. Even if I'm powerless to save him, don't even think about touching a hair on my father's head!"

Li Qingluo winked hard at Zongzheng Xingyao.

Eye contact: I’ve sung it.

Zong Zheng Xingyao's face froze, and he quickly changed his tone: "Even if you want to do something, come at me first if you have the guts!"

Li Qing curled the corners of her lips under the veil.

"Okay, then how about letting you, a princess of noble status, become the wife of our rebel army?"

"Then, use this tyrant to exchange for the country's treasury!"

"You should prepare well! We will get married tonight at the end of the night!"

After saying that, Li Qingluo stood up and prepared to go out.

Seeing that Emperor Chu had woken up, he just smiled coldly.

As for Zong Zheng Wuxie, she didn't even glance at him.

She walked away decisively.

The Emperor of Chu and Zong Zheng Wuxie were shouting in their hearts: Drink water! They want to drink water too!

Zong Zheng Xingyao looked at Emperor Chu with red eyes.

"Father, I am an unfilial daughter... When I ran into these people in the palace and they wanted to take you away, I was powerless to stop them. I did nothing and failed to save you."

As he spoke, Zong Zheng Xingyao shed a few tears.

The Emperor of Chu let out a "Pooh" sound.

Finally, he managed to spit out the cloth ball that was no longer too tight in his mouth.

He retched twice before shouting hoarsely, "What the hell is going on?!"

"Where am I now?"

"And what's going on with the fourth brother?"

"And you, Yao'er. I clearly saw you talking to the Nangong clan while I was half asleep and half awake... Yao'er, please don't be in cahoots with them to deceive father."

Emperor Chu narrowed his eyes and stared at Zong Zheng Xingyao with a very cold look.

If it were in the past, Zong Zheng Xingyao would have been really frightened by his gaze and might have told him everything.

But she had experienced some big scenes in the past two days, and was also given some emergency training by Nangong Qingluo, so she could bear this little bit of turmoil in her heart.

Naturally, I was able to suppress my fear and act like I wasn't that afraid.

Zong Zheng Xingyao: "Nangong clan?"

She was in tears and looked surprised, "Father, no."

"Yao'er only saw those people bringing you out from near the rockery. I didn't see any Nangong clan members."

"Father, they said that the Nangong family set fire to your study. Is that true?"

"Could she have fainted somewhere, and a rebel wanted to kidnap you, so they knocked you out and took you away?"

"Father, are you having a nightmare again? It's all real now, Father!"

Hearing Zong Zheng Xingyao calling "Father" over and over again, Li Qingluo, who was listening openly outside the door, sighed inwardly.

This seventh princess is really a talented person who can bend and stretch, sing and dance.

Wouldn’t this confuse the Emperor of Chu?

Sure enough, the Emperor of Chu shook his still dazed head and really believed what Zong Zheng Xingyao said.

Zong Zheng Wuxie, who was standing by, tried to move the root of his tongue which was being pressed down so hard.

However, after retching several times, he was unable to spit out the large piece of cloth.

Zong Zheng Wuxie looked dejected. How could he be even worse than that old Emperor Chu?

Zong Zheng Xingyao sobbed and then looked at Zong Zheng Wuxie and said, "As for the Fourth Brother, I don't know what's going on."

"As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that he was here too."

"Fourth Brother, aren't you in the Heavenly Prison? Did you escape?"

Zong Zheng Wuxie: Who escaped from prison and ran to the den of traitors?!?

He smiled coldly in his heart, but his mouth was blocked tightly, so he naturally couldn't explain.

So I closed my eyes and simply didn't bother to explain.

At this moment, a voice came from outside. It was Li Qingluo's deliberately low voice: "Has the Prince Qin's Mansion replied?"

Sha Er replied, "My lord, there is no movement."

Li Qingluo sneered, "This tyrant loves to kill people. He has killed more than a dozen brothers, and now only the King of Qin is left."

"The King of Qin knew his brother was kidnapped, yet he didn't come to rescue him?"

"We just asked him to prepare 100,000 taels of gold. How could he, the King of Qin, not be able to come up with it?"

"You really don't take us rebels seriously!"

"Go and send another letter to the Prince of Qin's mansion. Tell them that the Fourth Prince, Zong Zheng Wuxie, is now in our hands."

"If he still wants Zongzheng Wuxie to live, bring over two hundred thousand taels of gold to ransom him—!"

The sounds outside gradually faded away.

The Emperor of Chu looked at Zong Zheng Wuxie with a cold gaze.

"Why are they so sure that your uncle will not save me, yet will offer twice the amount of gold to redeem you?"

"Fourth Brother, what on earth are you and the King of Qin doing?"

Zong Zheng Wuxie:?

How did he know!!

The King of Qin has loved me very much since I was a child.

Zong Zheng Wuxie even suspected that he was the son of the affair between the uncle of the King of Qin and his mother's concubine!

Fortunately, he had been secretly observing for many years and found that the uncle of the King of Qin and his mother were not familiar with each other, and they had not even spoken a word to each other for several years.

And the Qin King's uncle's cultivation of himself was also a private act.

Secretly operate to give him a better teacher.

Invite help from Miaojiang to him.

Give him more staff.

Even piles of military strategies, political books and articles were sent to him in countless numbers.

Zong Zheng Wuxie believed that Uncle Qin simply loved his nephew too much.

He wants to identify himself as the future emperor, so he is a little different.

And now, how could Uncle Qin choose to save himself rather than save his father?

These people must have gone crazy to give Uncle Qin the absurd choice when they were left with no other options.

However, he couldn't spit out the cloth in his mouth, so he could only look at the Emperor of Chu innocently and aggrieved.

Starting from the witchcraft of piercing dolls, the emperor's father fell into a strange madness and wrongly accused his once most beloved son.

Let yourself lose everything.

Now, are you still wrongly accusing me of something I haven't done?

Zong Zheng Wuxie looked at the Emperor of Chu with tears in his eyes, trying to awaken a little kindness in him.

Emperor Chu: "If I knew that all this was your conspiracy, that you were trying to gain my kindness or that you were trying to claim credit for saving me, I would personally kill you, you evil creature!"

Zong Zheng Wuxie: He is even more resentful than Dou E!!

Zong Zheng Xingyao on the side glanced away guiltily.

The difficult day is finally over.

During this period, Emperor Chu and Zong Zheng Wuxie were almost fainting from hunger.

Only one of them got a bowl of vegetable soup.

Their faces turned greener than the other.

The King of Chu started cursing after taking a sip, saying that he would not eat something that even a dog would not eat.

Then he continued to be hungry.

Zong Zheng Wuxie actually drank it.

Before he could say a word, he was silenced by the soup.

He was so thirsty and hungry that he didn't even hear what the King of Chu said, "Even dogs wouldn't drink it." He drank it all in one gulp.

After all, he had been in the Heavenly Prison for several months.

This kind of soup is still acceptable to drink.

However, before he finished drinking the soup and swallowed all the vegetable leaves, his mouth was gagged with cloth again.

When steamed buns and meat dishes were served to Zong Zheng Xingyao, the Emperor of Chu's eyes widened.

Zong Zheng Xingyao said with tears in his eyes, "If Father can't drink vegetable soup, he certainly can't eat such a simple meal."

"Father, you should at least eat something, otherwise how will you have the energy to wait for your chance?"

Zong Zheng Xingyao ate with relish.

The King of Chu felt very miserable.

Dead child, can't you be filial and let the person who feeds you force-feed your father a few mouthfuls?

The King of Chu had been hungry for several days.

So when he smelled the vegetables and meat but couldn't eat them, he felt completely exhausted.

When the evening soup was served, he drank it all with great reluctance.

The taste reminded him of the days when he was in the cold palace as a child. In fact, it was not as bad as the ones in the cold palace.

This time, Zong Zheng Xingyao did not wait for steamed buns and vegetables and meat, but instead waited for a bright red wedding dress and a pearl hairpin headdress.

"Come on, Your Highness."

"Our rebel army's major general is already waiting outside to marry you. Why don't you put on your wedding dress quickly?"

"After some dressing up, she'll be our leader's wife! Hahaha..."

Nanny Zheng and A'duo laughed wildly.

Zong Zheng Xingyao was pulled into her wedding dress and had her hair combed into a bun, looking terrified.

The Emperor of Chu was so angry that his face was shaking.

"You daring untouchables! Let go of my daughter!"

Zong Zheng Xingyao cried out: "Father, save me, Father——"

The Emperor of Chu seemed to have been awakened by a trace of fatherly love: "Yao'er——"

"I'm going to kill you!!"

"You are not allowed to touch her!!"

"She is the princess I personally planned to marry off to the Western Regions. If you, the lowly people, don't want to be torn into pieces and your bones pulverized, then let her go!"

Zong Zheng Xingyao was stunned.

Then I couldn't stop feeling cold all over.

So, even at this time, what he felt sorry for was not his own daughter, but the pawn who was to be married off to the Western Regions?

Zong Zheng Xingyao shed a tear.

Matron Zheng scoffed, "She said it herself. To save your father from suffering, just go after her."

"Now, when she marries our Major General, you, as her father, will also be able to eat a hot meal and meat."

"Your Majesty, please think carefully."

"We'll give you one chance. Will the Seventh Princess marry tonight, or not?"
