Deng Feng suddenly remembered something. The journey to the Heavenly Prison seemed to be exceptionally smooth, and so was the process of coming in.
Could it be...
He felt uneasy and his hand holding the key was shaking.
"Princess, the key won't open it."
The virtuous concubine opened her mouth to say something when she heard footsteps coming closer and closer to the two of them.
"Someone is coming," Concubine Xian's face changed drastically, and she spoke with difficulty, signaling Deng Feng to hide first.
But apart from the cold and gloomy cells, there was no place suitable for hiding in the sky prison.
As the two of them were running around in panic, a majestic voice sounded.
"Why don't you just surround them?"
The guards stepped forward quickly and surrounded Deng Feng.
He lowered his eyebrows and raised his hand to wrap the black scarf around his face, leaving only his dark eyes exposed.
[So excited! The prize draw is about to begin. I'm looking forward to the moment when the Tyrant unveils Deng Feng's face. It's bound to be exciting.]
"You're planning to break into the prison and rescue the criminals. Why don't you just turn your head around?"
Lord Qin said as he looked at the guards surrounding Deng Feng, "Bring the man here."
Without waiting for the guards to approach, Deng Feng stood up on his own and looked at everyone expressionlessly, trying to find an opportunity to escape.
He felt it was too quiet when he came in, but now that he saw the emperor, he understood that everything was strange.
The emperor is deliberately setting a trap to catch him. I'm afraid that the moment Haitang finds him, everything about him will be under the emperor's control.
Otherwise, we wouldn't know what he was going to do tonight.
"Kneel down." Lord Qin stepped forward and kicked Deng Feng, forcing him to his knees. "Tell me, who are you to Concubine Xian? Who asked you to break into the prison?"
Deng Feng knelt straight, not saying a word.
The emperor is so familiar with him that as soon as he opens his mouth, his identity will be exposed.
He had to find an opportunity to escape, and that opportunity lay with the emperor.
Inside the prison, Concubine Xian pursed her cracked lips, grabbed the prison door and slowly stood up.
"Your Majesty, he is not here to rob the prison, but to bring medicine to me."
It was not known whether it was because of her words or the unpleasant voice that made everyone frown.
The emperor sneered and glanced at Deng Feng, who was lying on the ground with his head bowed. "You made such a big fuss just to send you medicine. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"You're just treating you like a fool. Deng Feng was Concubine Xian's personal bodyguard before she got married. After she entered your harem, he followed her in and even rose to the position of commander. And yet you know nothing? If you're not stupid, who else is?"
The emperor's mouth twitched.
"Come here, take his veil away from me."
The virtuous concubine panicked, not caring about her sore throat, and shouted, "This man is ugly, and I'm afraid he will offend the emperor."
Deng Feng seemed not to have heard what Concubine Xian said, and said in a low voice, "I'll pick it myself."
As she spoke, a fierce look flashed in her eyes. She slowly raised her hand, and by pulling the handkerchief, she found the right opportunity to release the poisonous snake in her sleeve and suddenly attacked the emperor.
Since the emperor was injured, these people had no time to care about him. He could escape first and then find a way to save the princess.
The third prince, who came in from outside the prison, saw this scene and his expression changed slightly.
[Damn, it’s a snake. I’m most afraid of that thing.]
Yu Yiluo, who was in the emperor's arms, was happily eating melon. When she saw the snake with its tongue spitting out coming towards her, she was so scared that her face turned pale.
At this critical moment, the third prince dodged and snatched the sword from the hand of the guard closest to him.
A few sword lights flashed, and the poisonous snake with its tongue spitting out its tongue was chopped into several pieces and fell to the ground.
Yu Yiluo blinked, forgot her fear, and screamed in her heart.
[Ahhh, the Third Prince is so handsome, worthy of being the hero. My life is finally saved. Otherwise, if I were bitten by this poisonous snake, I would have gone straight to see the King of Hell. Fortunately, I didn't close my eyes in fear just now, otherwise I would have missed such a cool scene of the hero.]
The Third Prince looked at the stunned guards and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you bring the shackles and lock him up? Are you waiting to hurt the little princess and father?"
I really don’t know what these people do for a living. If he had been a step later, the snake would have bitten Luo’er.
The guards came to their senses and put shackles on Deng Feng.
"Father, are you okay?" The third prince looked at the emperor who was still in shock and asked.
The emperor shook his head. He didn't expect that Deng Feng actually knew how to control snakes, so he was caught off guard.
If the Third Prince had not arrived in time, he and Luo'er would have been either dead or injured.
"Hahaha," Deng Feng, who was in shackles, no longer concealed his laughter. He raised his head and laughed a few times, staring at the emperor intently. "If it weren't for the Third Prince, you would have died on the spot."
The guards hung their heads, fearing that they would be blamed by the emperor.
They only felt a gust of wind, and the poisonous snake was chopped to death by the third prince who had appeared in front of the emperor at some point in time.
Isn't it said that the Third Prince likes to hang out in brothels and have fun? Why is he so secretive?
The virtuous concubine, who was holding the prison door, glared at the third prince fiercely. It was all this rebellious son's fault. Not only did he not save her, but he also helped the emperor.
"I would like to see who is so bold as to assassinate my father."
The third prince finished speaking word by word, walked up to Deng Feng, and directly pulled off the black veil covering his face.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Deng Feng. After seeing his face hidden under the veil, they all looked in disbelief.
"Deng... Commander Deng?" Minister Zhang exclaimed in surprise, suddenly remembering something. No wonder he suddenly asked him about the Sky Prison last time.
It turns out it was for today.
Deng Feng turned his head and looked at Concubine Xian deeply. "Since you already know, I have nothing to say. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish."
Yu Yiluo, who was originally looking forward to seeing the tyrant's disbelief, suddenly lost interest.
When the snake attacked the two of them just now, the tyrant's subconscious reaction was to raise his hand to protect her, but the third prince reacted faster than him.
She sighed inwardly.
Actually, it's quite good that the hero doesn't know he's the child of Concubine Xian and Deng Feng. He truly respects the Tyrant Emperor as his father. In the original book, he rebelled because Yang Xin and Concubine Xian teamed up to secretly give the Tyrant Emperor drugs to control him, making him lose interest in state affairs and pushing him step by step into rebellion.
When I read the book before, no matter who it was, they were just a string of numbers. But now the person standing in front of me is a real person with flesh and blood and emotions. Yu Yiluo secretly felt a little sorry for the third prince.
"Lock him up and try him slowly," the emperor said.
A group of people took Deng Feng away, and only the emperor, the third prince and the virtuous concubine were left in the dim prison.
The third prince was shocked to his core by Yu Yiluo's words.
His biological father is Deng Feng?
Impossible, impossible.
But reason seemed to tell him that this was true, because then everything could be explained.
"Third Prince?" Seeing him in a daze, the emperor called out with a complicated expression, "Why are you here?"
The Third Prince pulled himself back to his senses, but before he could speak, the Concubine Xian burst into laughter as if she had gone mad.
The unpleasant laughter sounded strange and harsh in the dim prison.
"Of course he came to rescue me. Is there any need to ask?"
