This shadow guard is kinda nice

The Ministry of Justice has been dark, dark and humid all year round. Shen Yinan has been in it for a few years. Some people regret that he should not have a good life. He has a bright future and insists on dealing with a group of vicious people. Some people are afraid of him. Fierce, far from being as bright as the moonlight on the surface, none of the villains who have passed his hands can go out intact, so many people want him to die.

In the past, people who had such thoughts only dared to secretly think about it in their hearts, but now, it suddenly became true.

Not only Zhao Kai, who was supposed to be the death penalty for Shen Yinan to drop his bag without permission, was even more daring enough to commit treason. The servant of the Ministry of Punishment wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tremblingly read out all the crimes committed by Shen Yinan, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Master Shen, do you see?" The servant bent over and brought the indictment to Shen Yinan himself for him to have a look.

Shen Yinan casually glanced at it twice, then signed the letter and drew the pledge. The servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shang Shu was so happy. If he didn't want to plead guilty, the servant really couldn't help it. He couldn't torture his former immediate boss, could he?

Thinking of this, he shivered, even if Shen Yinan was nothing now, and would be beheaded in the near future, he would not dare to make trouble in front of Shen Yinan.

Shen Yinan was followed by the jailer, who wanted to escort him back to the prison, Shen Yinan lowered his eyes slightly, and consciously walked into the prison, but within a few steps, he stopped, and the jailer behind him also stopped.

The servant's heart immediately tugged again, his face was full of sorrow, before he could say anything, Shen Yinan's clear and cold voice came.

"I'm no longer the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the future," Shen Yinan slowly hooked his lips, "You have the final say."

The servant was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Shen Yinan had already been taken back to the prison. The servant was sitting on the chair, and what was in front of his eyes was still Shen Yinan's tall and thin back.

Even if he became a prisoner, the white clothes on his body were still dusty, except that they were a little messy.

The servant sat blankly, and after a while, someone said that King Xuan had arrived.

He immediately cheered up, stood up, straightened his official robes, and walked out.

Xiao Yichen came alone, he was holding a tray in his hand, the servant had a lot to say, but when he saw this, he was shocked, and then he didn't say anything.

He saluted and led Xuan Wang into the prison.

There is a long passage, with torches lit all around, and there is always a smell of dust in the air for a long time.

Xiao Yichen's expression was indifferent, and the servant from behind said softly: "His Royal Highness is in the innermost room, just turn a corner, that's it."

Xiao Yichen didn't seem to have heard what he said, he walked without looking sideways, everything around him had nothing to do with him, suddenly, he saw someone out of the corner of his eye, he stopped and turned his head away.

The servant stopped after him, he was very discerning, bowed his body and said: "My lord, that's... Mr. Shen."

At this moment, Xiao Yichen only had a slight reaction. He hummed, and then waved his hand to make the servant back.

The servant didn't say anything, he handed the key to King Xuan, then turned and left, when he was about to walk out of the prison, he stopped and looked back.

King Xuan still stood there without moving.

He shook his head, sighed, and left.

Xiao Yichen held the tray in one hand and a bunch of keys in the other. He looked at Shen Yinan who was sitting inside through the prison door.

Shen Yinan sat on the thatched pile, with his hands on his lap, slightly raised his head, and looked at the person standing outside the door.

Suddenly, he smiled.

It's as if ice and snow have turned into a pool of spring water.

Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, in his extremely pure eyes, he seemed to see the past.

A poor scholar went to Beijing to rush for an exam. He was young, unfamiliar with the place, caught a cold, fainted on the way, his face was pale, and happened to be rescued by someone.

After that, there were ups and downs for a few years. One was struggling in the court, and the other was accompanied by the wind and sand in the frontier. Time passed, and now, one is standing outside the cell, and the other is sitting in the cell.

Xiao Yichen looked soft, and he also smiled.

Putting the tray in his hand outside, he opened the cell door and walked in.

"My lord." Shen Yinan stood up and said.

Xiao Yichen nodded.

The sky was getting darker and darker, but there was no difference in the cell. Xiao Yichen opened the cell door, picked up the tray on the ground, and went inside.

Turning the corner, the dampness became heavier and heavier, until at the end, Xiao Yichen stopped, and he looked at Xiao Beining who was sitting in the center with his head down.

The key was turned slightly, and the chain was unlocked with a snap. Xiao Beining raised his head suddenly when he heard the sound. After seeing the person coming, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly.

Xiao Yichen turned around and closed the door, he put the tray aside, Xiao Beining followed his hand and looked over, his mockery became more serious.

A small jug of wine, a small bottle of medicine, and a piece of white silk.

From the moment he decided to rebel, he had probably already made such preparations, but when it really came, he was still a little unwilling.

Why?Xiao Yichen, whom he had always looked down upon, now came to send him off with arrogance for the last time.

He understands the truth of winners and losers, but he is not willing to lose to Xiao Yichen.

He turned around and stared at Xiao Yichen's indifferent face.

"Happy? Did you get your wish? Did you come to Prince Ben to watch a joke?"

Xiao Yichen ignored him, and he didn't care about Xiao Beining who still called himself the prince even though he was now a prisoner.He just sat down opposite Xiao Beining, Lu Jiu then came in with a food box, under Xiao Beining's sneering gaze, he bent down, put the plates on the table one by one, then motioned to Xiao Yichen, and walked out.

There were two more people left in the cell, and they were relatively speechless for a while. After a long time, Xiao Yichen said, "Eat something."

He picked up the flagon and filled himself and Xiao Beining with wine. He drank a glass first, and then showed Xiao Beining, "It's not poisonous."

Xiao Beining raised his eyebrows, and he said lightly, "I know it's not poisonous." He paused, his chin slightly raised, in the direction of the tray, and said with a sneer, "There's the poisonous one."

Xiao Yichen laughed lightly, and he said directly: "Yes."

"So," he pointed at a table of dishes, "don't worry, eat what you like."

Xiao Beining looked at him for a while, Xiao Yichen raised his eyes and let him watch.

Suddenly, Xiao Beining smiled meaninglessly. He looked away and picked up the chopsticks on the table.Xiao Yichen sat opposite him, watching him eat like this.Speaking of which, the two of them rarely sat face to face quietly.

In the past, Xiao Beining was the crown prince with a noble status, but he was not liked by the emperor in the palace, nor did he have a mother with a prominent background to rely on. Hold the moon.

Now, it is rare for them to sit together, but their status has undergone earth-shaking changes.

No matter how delicious the food is, at this moment, it may not be able to bring Xiao Beining a little joy. Those foods that he loved in the past are like chewing wax at this moment.

When he finally put down his chopsticks, Xiao Yichen's hand that was pouring wine paused, he put down the jug, and their eyes met in the air.

After a while, Xiao Beining said, "Where's the prime minister?"

Xiao Yichen knew that he would ask, so he said: "Sun's whole family was killed." Under Xiao Beining's expected gaze, he said: "Except for the queen."

Xiao Beining was surprised at first, and then he couldn't hide his ridicule no matter how hard he tried, let alone he didn't want to hide it.

In order to bring down the Sun family, he did not hesitate to make the queen mother innocently suffer the crime of poisoning. Now that the whole Sun family has fulfilled his wish, he just let the queen mother go.

It's not ridiculous.

Xiao Beining laughed heartily, but so what if he let it go?Now that the queen mother has nothing, what's the point of letting her live?For her, these long years were just a kind of torment.

The prince stopped laughing, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, Xiao Yichen leaned over again and filled it up for him.

"Where's Shen Yinan?" After a long time, Xiao Beining asked lightly.

Although he already knew it in his heart, he really wanted to hear Xiao Yichen say it with his own ears.

Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment, he knew what Xiao Beining was asking.

Is Shen Yinan one of yours?

Xiao Yichen nodded and said yes.

Xiao Beining shook his head and gave a wry smile.

That day, Lin Sheng brought people from the Xuanjia camp to rescue him, and then the prime minister was tied up and thrown in front of the emperor. Shen Yinan knelt in front of the emperor, confessed all his guilt, and mentioned that in order to test Shen Yinan, he asked Shen Yinan Let go of Zhao Kai.

He originally thought that even if Shen Yinan wasn't sincere, Shen Yinan would be obedient after all since he held the handle of his life in his hands.Who knows, he didn't hesitate to reveal the capital crime he committed, betrayed Zhao Kai, and dragged Xiao Beining into the water, and told the emperor that if he didn't believe it, he could let Zhao Jin and Zhao Kai appear here now.

Xiao Beining always remembered Shen Yinan's expression at that time, kneeling on the ground, with a faint smile on his face all the time, not caring how much trouble his words would cause.

Xiao Beining didn't understand a fact until that moment.

Shen Yinan did not hesitate to pay with his life, and also wanted to pull Xiao Beining off his horse.

Xiao Beining didn't speak anymore, he waited for a while, seeing that Xiao Yichen still didn't intend to bring the tray over, he couldn't help frowning, "Why didn't you bring it over, do you want the crown prince to take it himself?"

Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, he got up, brought the tray over, and put it in Xiao Beining's hand.

Seeing his movements, Xiao Beining suddenly asked with great interest, "Aren't you afraid that the crown prince will overturn all these?"

Xiao Yichen shook his head, he said softly: "It's just a matter of time."

Xiao Beining was choked by him, speechless, and couldn't help but stare at him fiercely.

Xiao Yichen ignored his look, and only said: "Are you done asking?"

Xiao Beining nodded, "The question is over."

Xiao Yichen hummed, then he sat up straight suddenly, stared into Xiao Beining's eyes, and said, "Now let me ask you a question."

Xiao Beining twitched the corner of his mouth, "Say it."

"During the back mountain of Pingyao, you sent the killers of Crescent Moon Pavilion and Purple Valley, right? For that batch of money?" Xiao Yichen suddenly shook his head when he said this, "No, it should be said that it was the... Treasure map?"

Xiao Beining's mood at the moment is very strange. If in the past, he knew that Xiao Yichen already knew the existence of the treasure map, he would have been angry, but now he is very calm here.

What is the use of such a treasure map for him who is dying now?

"Yes, the prince sent it." He admitted generously.

Xiao Yichen leaned back again, he suddenly smiled, "I said at that time, whoever hurts him, I will make him pay the price."

Xiao Beining was puzzled. He didn't know who Xiao Yichen was referring to. He only heard Xiao Yichen continue to say: "Zigu will be destroyed by himself, and the Crescent Moon Pavilion will be soon. Ren Mingfeng will take action. As for, Your Royal Highness, you..."

He paused, and in Xiao Beining's increasingly ugly face, he said word by word: "It's faster."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Xiao Beining, and said to himself: "The red crane is highly poisonous. The crown prince's daughter may not be able to bear the bleeding from the seven orifices and die, right? It hurts so much. Bai Ling?" Xiao Yichen immediately Shaking his head, "It may not be elegant for such a noble status as the prince."

He finally looked at the pot of wine, "Mixed with highly poisonous wine, the wine slipped into his throat and killed him instantly." He spoke slowly, unaware of how terrifying this was, and looked up at the prince, "This way Even if it hurts, the prince can't feel it."

Xiao Beining's heart trembled, Xiao Yichen looked extremely silent like this, he had never seen it before.

He lost, took this life, he admitted it, but after Xiao Yichen said this, he suddenly didn't want to die.

"No, don't...I don't want to."

In a panic, he forgot to call himself and said me.

Xiao Yichen pursed his lips, but his black eyes were dark, without the slightest smile.

"Where is it up to you? Brother Huang."

Xiao Beining shuddered at his "brother emperor", he raised his head and looked at Xiao Yichen's approaching figure.

He wanted to dodge, but Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, and with the other hand, holding the jug, he poured it into his mouth involuntarily.

Xiao Beining struggled, scrambling to break Xiao Yichen's hand that was pinching his chin, but that hand was like an iron hoop, causing him pain, and more and more wine entered his throat, causing him to choke. flushed.

It wasn't until the bottom of the pot of wine that Xiao Yichen took the jug and poured it down, and he didn't let go until not a single drop of wine could be poured out.Xiao Beining pushed him away abruptly, knelt down on the side, digging his throat with his hands, trying to spit out the wine that had entered his throat just now.

Xiao Yichen threw the flagon casually, he stood up straight, patted the clothes wrinkled by Xiao Beining casually, and watched Xiao Beining's meaningless movements with cold eyes.

Xiao Beining's choked physiological tears, mixed with saliva and wine, dripped down continuously, until his body twitched, he clutched his throat, collapsed on the ground, no longer breathing.

Xiao Beining's eyes were wide open, his eyeballs protruding outwards, looking really penetrating, Xiao Yichen looked at it for a long time, and then walked out.

Lu Jiu followed behind him, all the way out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and when he stood under the sunlight again, Xiao Yichen smiled.

In his life, he only called Xiao Beining the emperor's brother twice. Once, when he was four years old, on the emperor's birthday, many ministers were invited to come. Because he was not favored, the emperor might have forgotten him, No one came to inform him and his concubine to attend the banquet.

He sneaked out to play, but saw the prince in the imperial garden.The prince was having fun with a group of ministers' children, so he didn't notice him.

This is the first time for Xiao Yichen to be so close to the prince

He had seen the crown prince twice before from a distance. He was extremely luxurious, but at such a young age, he was very imposing.

Xiao Yichen pinched the hem of his clothes and beat himself up for a long time before timidly calling out Brother Huang.

Unexpectedly, the gentle smile from the emperor's brother, in Xiao Yichen's astonished expression, he said: "Who is your emperor's brother?" They waved.

"Teach the prince how to behave when he meets the prince."

The group of children hesitated for a moment, and under Xiao Beining's displeased expression, they swarmed up, Xiao Yichen fell to the ground, as if he couldn't react, he let his fists and feet rain down on him.

Later, someone broke through the crowd and stood in front of him, blocking the children's ignorant fists and kicks. He raised his eyebrows and looked around, revealing a childlike ferocity between his brows.

"What kind of skill is it? A group of people bully a child."

He turned his head, pulled Xiao Yichen up, patted the dirt on his body, and then said to the people around him: "What's the matter with me."

Everyone knew who this was, they had more or less endured the fist of Lin Sheng, the son of the Minister of Military Affairs, just like the devil incarnation.

Xiao Beining gritted his teeth angrily from behind, "Lin Sheng, you are so courageous."

Lin Sheng didn't care. He grinned and showed his big white teeth. The ruffian in him had been showing signs since then.

And the second time Xiao Beining was called the emperor's brother was today, and Xiao Yichen sneered.

When he sent his emperor brother to Huangquan Road.
