[Traveling] Attacking Wife Trick

The prison of the Ministry of Justice is heavily guarded, and the surroundings are cold and oppressive, as if it is slowly taking people's breath.

Ying Cheng couldn't appear here, but Ying Lan was undoubtedly the best pass, and the group of guards couldn't speak much with just a sentence "If Your Majesty asks, I will take care of it."

The two followed the jailer into the dungeon that exuded a damp smell, where all the criminals were detained, including many high-ranking officials.But there is no exception—after being imprisoned, it is extremely difficult to think out again.

The decay and decay in the prison made Yingcheng frown. At this moment, he was focused on Chang Xi, thinking how could that person stay in such a place for a long time?He must be rescued as soon as possible, but what method should he use to persuade Ying Congyu now?

His mood was chaotic, and his footsteps were a little impetuous.

Ying Lan turned her head to look at Ying Cheng, but said nothing.Near the end of the dungeon, looking sideways, in the cells passing by on both sides, the listless prisoners exuded the breath of dying, and the dirty hair was like withered grass, covering the faces of those people.At this moment, they were unmoved by the sudden sound of footsteps in the prison, as if they were used to different people coming and going here, and they were also used to the corpses carried out by the jailer every day. They curled up into a posture of self-protection , and then waited for the last moment to come.

Such a real scene made people feel dull.

However, the jailer who had been leading the way silently said, "His Royal Highness, the prince, we are almost here."

The voice fell slightly, and they stopped outside a nearly closed prison door.

This prison cell is far away from the places they passed by before, and it looks more like it is made of pure steel.

The jailer took out the key and opened the door.The sound of the keys colliding and knocking on the cell door was particularly ear-piercing in the slightly quiet prison.

For some reason, Ying Cheng felt a little nervous.It was only a few days, but it seemed like a long, long time.

Bending his body respectfully, the jailer stepped back tactfully.There was still no obvious emotion on Ying Lan's face, he just turned his eyes to Ying Cheng, "Don't say unnecessary words, don't make stupid decisions. Just do it yourself." Without waiting for Ying Cheng's response, he left here directly.

Of course Yingcheng knew what the other party meant—abandon the Ji family and save himself.But he couldn't do it, whether he was stupid or lacking ambition, Yingcheng didn't think his choice was wrong.Ying Congyu has always been a high-ranking, calm and decisive king from the beginning to the end. What is family affection to him?This time it was the Ji family, but next time it might be someone else.The road to power will not stop at military power, and the ambition of an emperor can never be estimated.As long as one day is in the general trend of the world, one day will not be free.

After all these years in Daliang, what have you gained in exchange for your sincerity?With so many scars up to now, what have I gained?

Thinking of this, Ying Cheng took a deep breath and stabilized his trembling hand.Then, pushing open the door——

That's the person I think about day and night in the mansion, and the person I can't worry about in Daliang no matter what.It is the person who wants to hold the hand of the child and live the same life.

Instead, he got a moment of peace in his heart. The two of them were clearly close at hand, but they just looked at each other quietly.It's strange that at this moment, no one is going to break this balance first.

After a long time, Yingcheng finally approached Ji Changxi slowly.He saw the shackles on the opponent's wrists, long and heavy dragging on the ground, making non-negligible noises as they moved.He also saw the familiar brilliance in the other party's ink-like eyes, which made his heart sore and painful.

"My lord," Ji Changxi said, "I guessed it was you." He took a few steps forward, but he couldn't continue, the length of the shackles restricted some of his movements.But Ji Changxi was not affected too much by this, and he even smiled at Yingcheng.

My heart felt even more uncomfortable, and my throat seemed to be blocked by a soft object.Yingcheng couldn't see the person in front of him suffer the most, and now this feeling of powerlessness is very bad.He didn't open his mouth either, he was afraid that if he spoke, he would lose control of his emotions.

Every step to get to Ji Changxi's side seems to be too difficult, the steps are as heavy as a thousand catties.The person in front of him had lost weight again, and the big black eyes on his pale face made people feel distressed.

Yingcheng stretched out his hand to gently caress Ji Changxi's face, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's my fault... I'm sorry, Chang Xi..." I'm sorry, I let you enter the palace without a choice.Sorry, I can't help you with anything.To you, to the Ji family, I...have done too little...

Ji Changxi shook her head, and held Yingcheng's hand, "What does it have to do with you? I'm not a child who doesn't know anything, I have my own judgment. This matter about the Ji family...what's wrong with you?" He sighed softly, "It's just that he was born in the emperor's family, there's nothing he can do about it."

"Chang Xi, we still have time..."

"Not much... Now, I'm just worried about my father and my second brother, there are so many people in the Ji family..." Chang Xi buried her head in Ying Cheng's neck, seeming very tired.

"They...are safe." Yingcheng said the truth, the war in northern Xinjiang is critical, and it is impossible for the Ji family's affairs to have any major disturbances at this juncture.But once the war is over...

"I can already guess His Majesty's decision, but I don't accept the result." Ji Changxi let out a very shallow breath, took a step back and slightly opened the distance between the two, "My lord, the Ji family will not make collusion with the enemy. Something like treason."

"Of course I know. Chang Xi, do you think I will doubt the Ji family?"

"...Yeah...you won't." Ji Changxi is not stupid, he knows that Ying Cheng will always believe in him, and he also understands how kind the person in front of him is to him.But also because of this, he didn't want Yingcheng to get deeper and deeper in this matter, he hoped that the other party could get out of the way.

The matter of the Ji family is obviously...premeditated by someone, and that person is the current king of Daliang.The status of the Ji family in northern Xinjiang made it impossible for Ying Congyu to sit idly by, and the matter of the second brother was something that the other party clung to.All the time before, the reason for holding back was to accumulate a powerful bargaining chip, and the Ji family couldn't stand up after smashing it.Collaborating with the enemy and treason?It's ridiculous!How much did the Ji family pay for Northern Xinjiang?The illustrious military achievements were wiped out, and more people even wanted the Ji family to disappear in the court.My father devoted most of his life to Daliang, but what did he get in the end?What did the countless Ji family troops who died fighting for the northern border get?But a basin of dirty water.

Full of determination to serve the country, he values ​​loyalty more than life, and in the end he can only let the king's eight words "cooperate with the enemy and treason, support the army and cause chaos." Such an ending... makes people—how reconciled!

I am afraid that no one in the Ji family can accept this charge as if nothing happened.And how could I want to see the Ji family being swallowed up by this deep prison, bearing a lifetime of infamy?

In fact, Ji Changxi is very clear that this time there is no way out.From the day when the incident broke out, the Ji family couldn't escape, they were victims of power.

Ji Changxi raised his head to look at Yingcheng, this time he looked very attentively and seriously, as if he wanted to remember the appearance of the other party.Then, without any warning, he knelt down in front of Yingcheng.The shackles on his wrists "clanged", and fell to the ground with his movements, which also broke Yingcheng's mind.

Yingcheng clenched his teeth tightly, and his fingertips were so hard that they almost sank into his palms.He was so shocked by Chang Xi's action that he couldn't move, and at the same time, Ying Cheng also knew... the person in front of him had already made a decision.At this moment, he was somewhat resistant to listening to what the other party was going to say next, but in fact, Ying Cheng just stood there motionless, like an unconscious dead thing.

When he finally wanted to help him up, he was rejected by Ji Changxi.

"My lord," he said with his head slightly lowered, "I have a heartfelt request."

Ying Cheng didn't speak, he just quietly listened to Chang Xi's words.

"You must have understood in your heart... this matter... I'm afraid there is no room for change. We may be under house arrest until the day when the war in northern Xinjiang ends, and we will wait for our results..." Did not say this After finishing the sentence, Ji Changxi's voice froze for a moment, "Second brother has suffered too much in this matter, what's wrong with him? What's wrong with the Ji family? In the end, it's just a crime to be added. .So... this time, it's not for Daliang, but for ourselves. The members of the Ji family would rather die on the battlefield than die in prison with a misunderstood infamy." Ji Changxi said softly He said calmly, "After a hundred years, history will prove us innocent."

He bowed his head and kowtowed, "My lord, please help me this time."

There was a momentary blank in Yingcheng's mind, he thought he understood what Chang Xi meant.He looked at the person in front of him, the profile of that person was still young and stubborn, as if he was still a boy when he first entered the mansion, time could not hurt him in the slightest.The way he smiles is as gentle as the spring breeze in March, but once he becomes tough, he is resolute and almost cold.

Rather Stick to your guns.

And I have never been able to do anything about him like this.It just so happens that he is such a person who is serious about everything, but emotionally backs away from himself again and again, never defending himself.

Ying Cheng slowly knelt down in front of Chang Xi, and cupped his face with his hands.Those beautiful and somewhat melancholy eyes made Yingcheng's suppressed sadness begin to ferment slowly, his eye sockets were a little sore, but he firmly controlled himself.

Yingcheng doesn't like to see others cry, and he hates crying himself even more, because it's a sign of weakness.He hugged Ji Changxi, trying to hide his emotional confusion.There has never been a moment like this - I am so powerless, so vulnerable.If the last protective belt was washed away by the raging flood, his pain has already flooded.

"Chang Xi..." Ying Cheng whispered in his ear, "I can't bear you."
