Chapter 251 Really crazy or pretending to be crazy?
The Fourth Prince was caught off guard and was hit twice before he could retreat. Cheng Ping, who was following behind him, grabbed the Fourth Prince and made him retreat repeatedly.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay?"
The fourth prince released his hand from covering his face, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood covered in teeth.
"hiss--"
Tang Ning opened his mouth in shock, took a deep breath, and then exclaimed "Wow".
So miserable.
Xiao Yan, who was originally full of coldness, saw the little girl beside him with her eyes wide open, and saw the unconcealable gloating in her eyes. A smile flashed across his eyes, and the hostility around him dissipated a little.
The Fourth Prince covered his face, which had swelled up instantly, and glared at Prince Cheng angrily: "Uncle Prince Cheng, what are you doing?!"
Prince Cheng's mind was in a daze and he could hardly hear the sounds outside.
During this period, he was locked up in this dark cell, without seeing the sun and without anyone to visit him. The pain in his body from the torture was extremely unbearable for him, but what was even more unbearable was the "person" who was in the same room with him.
It was clearly just a mass of flesh and blood, but the sight of it that night almost became a nightmare. Whenever he closed his eyes, the bloody child's face would appear before him.
All he could hear were the miserable cries of children, constantly asking him why he didn't want him, or shrilly asking him to die with them.
At the beginning, Wang Man Cheng was so frightened that he threw "it" far away, and even smashed "it" like crazy, just wanting "it" to stop "harassing" him. But later, the crying became more and more miserable, making him dare not close his eyes day and night.
He was scared.
Terrified and terrified, he crawled to the corner of the wall and carefully used his fingerless hands to pick up the "it" that had been crushed into minced meat. He covered "it" with clothes and talked to "it" every day...
Everyone in the imperial prison said that Prince Cheng was crazy.
"Uncle Cheng!"
Seeing that Prince Cheng seemed unable to hear him, the Fourth Prince frowned and spoke even louder.
Prince Cheng seemed startled and looked up suddenly. The Fourth Prince and Cheng Ping beside him both gasped.
King Cheng's cheeks were sunken, his lips were dry and cracked, his cheekbones and brow bones were prominent, and there was darkness under his eyes. The blood that had previously flowed from his body had formed scabs on his skin. He looked particularly creepy when he looked at people with numbness.
The Fourth Prince suddenly felt a little panicked. With King Cheng in this state, what else could he ask?
Xiao Yan stood outside the door and saw the fear on the Fourth Prince's face, as well as Prince Cheng who seemed to have lost his mind and gone mad in the corner. He suddenly spoke:
"Xie Tianyu, I have already reported your collusion with the Lu family to His Majesty. His Majesty is also aware that Xie Yin is a descendant of the Lu family. The Empress and His Majesty are extremely shocked by the Lu family's immoral behavior. His Majesty has specifically ordered the Fourth Prince to personally investigate this matter."
"I know you're not crazy. If you want a happy ending, then tell the Fourth Prince who the Lu family member you're secretly having an affair with is. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you wish for death."
The words "I can't die" made Prince Cheng's body tremble violently, but the words "Fourth Prince" immediately afterwards made his confused eyes suddenly clear up a little.
The Fourth Prince...
The Fourth Prince is here?!
Prince Cheng felt a surge of joy in his heart, overshadowing the fear he had felt these past few days. When he raised his eyes and spoke, his voice was harsher than the grinding of sand and stone: "Fourth... Prince..."
Seeing that he still had a reaction, the Fourth Prince quickly said, "It's me, Uncle Cheng. Do you still recognize me?"
Prince Cheng's long-lost mind seemed to come back to life after hearing the three words "Fourth Prince". His eyes began to focus, and he looked up slowly at the young and tall figure standing in front of him.
The extremely familiar face that he had been secretly watching for many years seemed to come alive to him, and his eyes were fixed on him.
"Zheng'er..."
The Fourth Prince was stunned. He and Prince Cheng were not close. In the past, when they occasionally met, Prince Cheng would only call him the Fourth Prince. He had never called him by his nickname so intimately.
The Fourth Prince felt strange and a little uncomfortable, but when he saw that Prince Cheng was willing to speak, he put aside the strange feeling and said:
"I'm glad that Uncle Cheng still recognizes me. I'm here on the orders of the Emperor to investigate your affairs with the Lu family. If Uncle Cheng tells the truth and reveals who you're colluding with, I'll plead with the Emperor to spare your life."
Prince Cheng listened to his words and asked somewhat dully, "You are here, Queen Mother, do you know?"
The Fourth Prince frowned: "Of course, Mother knows."
He didn't think much of it, thinking that Prince Cheng was trying to use the fact that Empress Lu was from the Lu family to threaten him. He showed displeasure on his face: "Although my mother is a member of the Lu family, she can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. Uncle Cheng is having an affair with a woman from the Lu family, and my mother will never show favoritism."
King Cheng looked at the person in front of him, and his numb heart finally became a little more lively.
The Fourth Prince is investigating him, and the Queen knows about it.
Prince Cheng's mind gradually became clear.
No one knew more about his affairs with the Queen than they did, but the Queen dared to let the Fourth Prince come, which meant that the Queen already knew what he had said to Xiao Yan. She had already thought of a way to get her and the Fourth Prince out of this, so she dared to let the Fourth Prince get involved.
The Fourth Prince said that he had an affair with a female member of the Lu family, and His Majesty also asked him to investigate the matter. In other words, the Queen is fine, and the Fourth Prince is also fine.
The Queen agreed to let him investigate, which meant that the Lu family had already made preparations for the Queen. So who would the Queen choose from among the Lu family members?
Prince Cheng had been frightened for many days and his mind was having difficulty thinking, but perhaps because there was someone he wanted to protect in front of him, he tried his best to think about what the queen would do.
He wanted to ask the Fourth Prince something, but when he looked up, he saw the people standing in front of the prison door not far away. When his eyes fell on Xiao Yan, he was frightened for a moment. He originally wanted to test the King of Cheng and ask about the Queen's preparations, but he suddenly suppressed his words.
Can't ask.
If Xiao Yan finds out, the Queen and her son will be killed.
The Fourth Prince was unaware of the numerous thoughts running through Prince Cheng's mind. Seeing Prince Cheng remain silent, the Fourth Prince frowned and asked, "Uncle Prince Cheng, do you still intend to resist?"
"Everyone knows that you're colluding with the Lu family. The women of the Lu family you're having affairs with will be discovered sooner or later. It's useless for you to keep silent. It's better to confess as soon as possible so you don't suffer as much."
Seeing that Prince Cheng remained silent, he emphasized his tone, "Uncle Cheng is so stubborn. Doesn't he care about me or Xie Yin?"
Seeing the fluctuation in King Cheng's eyes, there were obviously ripples.
The Fourth Prince just thought that he cared about Xie Yin and continued to work hard.
"You replaced Xie Yin and raised him as your own. I think you loved him. You didn't want to see him die. If Uncle Cheng is willing to tell me about the Lu family, I will help Xie Yin plead with the emperor for mercy. How about that?"
"He is unaware of your treasonous plot, and he is considered of royal blood. Father might be able to spare his life."
