Prostitution

Chapter 22

Cold water splashed on his face, Master Liu sat up startled, coughed violently, wiped his eyes with his sleeves, slowly raised his head, saw a half-dark cold face, it was King Huai Jing, he hurriedly fell to the ground,

"My lord..."

"At this time, Master Liu doesn't need to be too polite."

Liu Shen responded in panic, hunched over and wanted to stand up, but his legs were weak and he fell to the ground again. His distressed appearance was no longer the same as before, his old age was obvious, and his withered fingers trembled violently.

Xu Jingyun stepped forward to help him sit firmly against the rock wall.

Yuan Cheng's eyes were quiet, and he asked, "This is the end of the matter, let's not talk nonsense, you were not captured for no reason, what is the secret behind the blood edict?"

Liu Shen drooped his head in silence, fear crawling all over his body.

Yuancheng waited for a while, and then said, "Do you think the emperor will let you go if you keep silent at this moment? For the current plan, you have to tell the whole story before I can try to protect you." He paused, "If you don't want to say , I don’t mind interrogating you again, but it’s a question of whether your body can handle it.”

Apparently Liu Shen forgot what he said, and still thought that the prince was just cheating him.

At this time, Qu Tongyin lifted his clothes and squatted down, staring at him, "Master Liu, during the time you were held captive, you couldn't bear the torture and confessed to the assassin about the blood decree. Don't you forget that you leaked it when you woke up last time? Master Xu and I are still together, so we can hear clearly."

Liu Shen was suddenly startled, his eyes flicked over several people, and finally lowered his eyes in despair,

"Yes... the emperor."

When he raised his face again, his eyes were gray, "The emperor ordered his subordinates to steal the blood edict and accuse Mr. Wen of treason. In fact, Mr. Wen has been cautious since he lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, and cut off contact with the officials in the court. He accused Mr. Wen of buying murder and assassinating him." The prime minister is also what the emperor ordered the officials to do."

Qu Tongyin and Xu Jingyun looked at Yuan Cheng at the same time, Mr. Wen's family was killed innocently, and the people who helped the evildoers were right in front of them.

Yuan Cheng didn't change his face, "How did he know that the blood edict is in Master Wen's hands?"

Liu Shen said with a bleak smile, "I heard that a demented old man in the palace was always talking about the previous dynasty, and when it was passed on to the emperor, he was forced to ask about the blood edict, which was not true or not. Who knew it was true." He let out a sigh, showing some remorse that had not faded from his conscience.

"Do you still remember the complete imperial edict?" Yuan Cheng still looked indifferent.

"After stealing the bleeding edict, I handed it over to the respondent, without even looking at it," Liu Shen knelt on the ground, pleading, "I dare not lie, please save my life!"

Yuan Cheng rubbed the center of his brows, thinking about countermeasures.

Xu Jingyun suddenly said, "Master Liu really doesn't know He Pingzhang?"

Liu Shen shook his head.

Xu Jingyun was puzzled, and looked at Qu Tongyin, "Could it be that He Pingzhang is simply stealing? The assassin is not from the Wen family, why did he hold Master Liu hostage?"

Qu Tongyin looked at this man with admiration, and joked, "Master Xu is really dedicated to his duty, he is not shocked when he heard such a shocking thing, and still cares about the case."

Xu Jingyun suddenly felt at a loss, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "I...I thought that if it was related to the Wen family, it must be for the prince. The palace is heavily guarded, and it is relatively easy to sneak into the palace."

Qu Tongyin was taken aback, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's your fault."

Yuan Cheng took a glance, "Everyone here is on the same boat. If anyone leaks a word, we will all die. Mr. Liu will push this matter to He Pingzhang, and the case will continue to be investigated."

In the end, he looked closely at Liu Shen again, and said sternly, "Have you finished explaining everything?"

Liu Shen shrank his hands and feet in panic, shook his head repeatedly, and then suddenly froze, "Also...the emperor seems to suspect that the prince of the previous dynasty is still alive, and some of the young men who gave it to the prince were ordered to enter the palace."

Yuan Cheng glanced sideways at Qu Tongyin, who then sneered, "Where did this rumor come from again, it seems that the prince has to be careful of unwarranted charges."

Liu Shen hurriedly defended, "Your official has heard it with his own ears, how dare he speak falsely and harm the prince!"

Yuan Cheng let out a foul breath, feeling that pitiful face disgusted him even more, he tore off Xia Wuyu's sleeves, and walked towards the entrance of the cave without saying a word.

The sun sets and the journey is far away, and the birds return to their nests.

The wilderness is full of wild grass, and the horseshoes are walking slowly.

For a long time, only the wind in my ears

"No corner."

Wen Wuyu was stunned, the prince didn't call him Mr. Wen anymore.

"Wuyu is here." Wen Wuyu turned his head, only to see the prince who was sitting behind him was looking forward, his eyes were like a deep pool, because there were too many implications, but there was nothing there.

"You said, in order to protect yourself, you know that you can't do it, is it wrong?"

Wen Wuyu followed in a low voice, "There is nothing wrong with self-protection. The emperor borrowed the hand of the prince to kill Master Wen to protect himself, but the history books are the hymn of the winner, not the grievance of the weak. To put it bluntly, whoever manipulates Dong Hu depends on who can turn the wrong into the right in the end."

Yuan Cheng's heart was surging for a moment.

Those who signed the blood edict back then were not self-protection.The Taiwei covered the sky with one hand, even if life and death were at stake, and he shouted to kill the thief, his end would be nothing more than death.

Including Master Wen, including his father.

Even if he hadn't listened to the distorted facts at that time, according to the emperor's words, all he could do was obey.

Not only for himself, but also for the restoration of Daqi Jiangshan, for the orphans of the former dynasty who have been hidden for twenty years.

The mistake was that he shouldn't have wiped out the Wen family in a fit of anger.

Xu Shi Wang Ye remained silent and seemed a little helpless, Wen Wuyu comforted him again,

"When the world first opened, what can be done and what can't be done, right and wrong, good and evil are all the evolution of human nature. If right and wrong are right and wrong and wrong is right at the beginning, then what the prince said is a matter of course."

Yuan Cheng laughed when he heard the words, "It's hard for you to turn black and white to comfort me."

Wen Wuyu said with a smile, "The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart. There is nothing wrong with the prince's self-protection."

Yuan Cheng took a deep breath, the cool air entering his heart made him feel comfortable.

It took a while to hear him say leisurely,

"I've killed a lot of people who shouldn't die. Of course, I'm not afraid that someone will seek revenge on me. The palace is not safe, and it will hurt you. I think it's best to let you go." He lowered his head and glanced, although he couldn't see Wen Wuyu's expression ,

"But I can't bear it."

Wen Wuyu twisted his neck and turned his head,

Yuan Cheng chuckled suddenly, "However, I am worried that you are also one of them who wants to kill me."

Wen Wuyu expressed loyalty, "My lord, I will definitely not hurt my lord at all, let alone take my life, my lord's kindness is deeply in my heart."

At this angle, his neck twisted and he had to raise his head slightly, looking tired, Yuan Cheng stretched out his hand to straighten his head,

"What kindness do I have to you? You are really fake."

"Money, after all, I have spent a lot of money since I arrived at the palace."

"Really, then you said, really?"

"really."
