The ground of the main hall is cold and hard. Kneeling on it, the cold air crawls into the heart along the knees, it is very cold.At least for Duan Yun, it was cold to the bone.

Most of the hair of the men in the main hall had turned gray when they were just forty years old, and the posture of sitting on the dragon chair was no longer tall and straight as before, adding a bit of old-fashioned appearance.

Duan Yun looked at the elixir in front of him, an exquisite wooden box with round pills in it, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

"I ask you, did you tamper with this elixir?" Emperor Qianyuan clasped the embossed faucet on the dragon chair, as if he was enduring a lot of anger, and his veins were exposed.

Duan Yun coughed lightly, looked at the dark and smooth hall floor, his brows were flat, neither sad nor happy, "No."

Emperor Qianyuan seemed to be extremely angry, raised his hand and slapped the dragon chair fiercely, pointed at Duan Yun and said angrily, "The evidence has been presented to me, and you still don't admit it!"

Duan Yun raised his eyes slowly, his eyes still flat, and he opened his lips, "Since the father believes that it is the poison of the son-in-law, why bother to interrogate it, wouldn't it be better to follow the emperor's opinion and execute the son-in-law?"

Emperor Qianyuan was looking into Shang Duanyun's eyes, Zhenna was really plain and indifferent, without sadness or joy, as if he had seen through all the world's attitudes, and then abandoned it in the dust.Then, a little joy slowly appeared on that face.Duan Yun smiled lightly, "My son has been weak since he was a child, and he is basically unable to inherit the throne. The father loves his son, so why should the son murder his father?"

"The witnesses that can be interrogated are all your collusion with King Huaiyang!" Emperor Qianyuan pointed at Duan Yun and roared angrily.How could my beloved child collude with outsiders to harm him, how could he bear it!

"Personal evidence can be threatened, and physical evidence can be forged!" He said a little anxiously, Duan Yun covered his lips and coughed violently, his face was pale, and cold sweat oozes from his forehead. "It's just...cough...it's just that the father doesn't want to trust his son."

After Duan Yunshun was overwhelmed, he smiled lightly, looked up at Emperor Qianyuan, with an inexplicable mockery in his eyes, "It's been so many years, the mother and son are still the ones my father believes in the most."

Duan Yun straightened up abruptly, his whole face was bluish and white, his eyes were lowered, and the smile on his lips was restrained a little bit, "Whether it was then or now."

Looking at Duan Yun, Emperor Qianyuan froze.

"Father... Do you know how uncomfortable it was every time I had a heart attack when I was a child." Duan Yun pressed his heart, his lips were pale, "Actually, my son can have a healthy body, can't he? If there is no Xu The bowl of soup that the empress poured into her children, ministers, mothers and concubines."

"...You..." Emperor Qianyuan froze on the dragon chair as if he had been hit hard, looking at Duan Yun's frail figure flustered.

"Father, do you know the hesitation that this son-in-law felt when he knew that he was going to be sent out of the palace to recuperate?" Duan Yun picked up the box in front of him, it was made of pitch-black wood, and it was carved with white cranes and green pine, which was very delicate.

"Father may imagine how hot the blood splashed out when an assassin attacked my concubine and was stabbed more than a dozen times in front of my son." Duan Yun stretched out his finger and pointed to his eyes, "Blood, splashed here " Duan Yun stood up with his hands up, "I dare not open my eyes for a year, because when I open them, my eyes are full of blood red."

Emperor Qianyuan turned pale.Looking at Duan Yun who staggered to his feet, the attendant was going to step forward to push him down, but Emperor Qianyuan waved him back.

Duan Yun stood up a little bit, with a straight back, and looked at Emperor Qianyuan with a faint smile, "Does your father know that when your son was gulped down, the fear of having a heart attack in the wild in a snowy day..." The elixir was taken out by Duan Yun, and he twirled it at his fingertips to play with it.

Duan Yun smiled, smiling calmly and gently, "Father sees Brother Huang and Empress Xu, so even if Empress Xu murders the emperor's heir, she is still favored by Emperor Father, and what Brother Huang says is what he says."

The box was suddenly smashed on the ground by Duan Yun, making a dull sound, "Heh... other people will always be a foil."

Duan Yun looked at Emperor Qianyuan, his eyes were still clear, as if he had just recited a volume of Buddhist scriptures, calmly and strangely, "Since Father thinks it was done by the minister, then the minister should try the medicine."

Emperor Qianyuan's pupils tightened, "Don't!"

The guards immediately rushed forward to snatch the elixir from Duan Yun's hand, but they were a step too late. Duan Yun swallowed the elixir calmly, looked at Emperor Qianyuan, and smiled, "Father, I like lotus flowers. Let the ashes be thrown into the lotus pond."

The bloodless lips slowly soaked a little bright red, Duan Yun opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, the blood flowed out, across his still smiling lips, and dripped on the ground.And his whole body was like a decaying lotus flower, falling slowly, and fell powerlessly to the hall.

"Imperial Physician! Xuan Imperial Physician!"

----------

When Wei Jiao was taken out of the prison by Duan Xu, he was chatting with the guards through the railing of the cell.

The two chatted passionately across the cell, and the melon seeds were crackling. When Duan Xu came, he saw that the guard was taking out a handful of melon seeds and handing them to Wei Jiao. When he saw Duan Xu out of the corner of his eye, the melon seeds dropped.

Wei Jiao quickly reached out to pick up the melon seeds, "Brother, be careful, every grain is hard."

"You care about people's livelihood." Duan Xu approached and raised his hand to signal the guards to open the cell door. "The prison in heaven is not safe enough. Would you like to go to the lonely East Palace for a while?"

Wei Jiao ate melon seeds and raised his eyebrows, "Is there a big torture?"

Duan Xu didn't react too much when he heard the words, he just asked people to get Wei Jiao out.Wei Jiao looked at Duan Xu's subordinates who had changed into his appearance, and sighed softly, "My father doesn't even know where he is, and no one will come to rescue me."

Duan Xu looked at Wei Jiao and sneered, "Your Majesty is still very valuable."

Waving, one of them took a cloak and put it on Wei Jiao, covering his face.Wei Jiao chuckled lightly, but did not resist.

"His Royal Highness, now there are wolves in front and tigers in back, why do you still care so much about me, a prisoner?"

Hearing this, Duan Xu cast Wei Jiao's eyes lightly, looked at the whip marks on Wei Jiao's face, and said lightly, "Do you think you are a tiger or a wolf?"

Wei Jiao raised his eyebrows, "How can I be a tiger and wolf when I'm so graceful?" With a pitiful blink, Wei Jiao said aggrievedly, "I'm obviously a rabbit who accidentally got involved."

Duan Xu: "..."

Ignoring Wei Jiao any more, Duan Xu walked out of the prison, and the attendants behind him pressed Wei Jiao to follow.

The environment of the dark prison in the East Palace is much better than the sky prison, at least there are no mice running around.Wei Jiao touched his skinned face and sighed, Duan Xu must have been jealous of his beauty so he whipped him across the face, even though he dodged in time, he was still scratched.

Luckily, Duan Xu left in a hurry because of other things after only one lash of the whip. With no one to stare at him, Wei Jiao naturally chatted with the executioner, and later won thirty coins by rolling the dice with the executioner.

Wei Jiao looked at the dark prison without even mice, and sighed, how boring it must be so empty.Nesting pitifully, Wei Jiao touched his face and muttered vaguely, "Daughter-in-law, my body hurts so much."

"You deserve the pain." A familiar voice wafted into his ears, Wei Jiao raised his head in disbelief, a pair of snow-white hands were exposed from the tight cuffs of his pitch-black robe.Fiddled with the lock on the cell door.Looking up along the dark gold buckle, I saw an unfamiliar face and a pair of extremely familiar eyes.

Seeing Wei Jiao's surprised expression, the coldness in those eyes gradually dissipated, and the twinkling smile melted away, "Wei Jiao, it's me."
