One of the guards frowned and said softly,
"Remember this from now on: don't touch any food that anyone brings you."
"Yes." Another guard nodded in agreement.
"Without the Emperor's order, no one can enter the Imperial Prison."
"We can't believe what they say verbally, but it's right not to let them in anyway."
"That's right." The other three nodded. "We can always be fair and impartial. We can't trust anyone..."
“.......”
After this incident, the four guards became more loyal to Emperor Qianhuang and acted more carefully.
At this time, in the imperial prison...
"Your Majesty, I am sorry that I came too late to save you. I have made you suffer!"
Xiaopengzi knelt outside the cell with tears in his eyes and kowtowed to Emperor Tianwu Kuku inside the cell.
These damn people actually locked up Emperor Tianwu in the darkest and dampest cell in the innermost part of the imperial prison.
Looking at Emperor Tianwu's pale face from the cold, he felt as if a knife was stabbing his heart.
When has the emperor ever suffered so much? It's all the fault of the traitor Chen Yong.
The little shed thought that Chen Yong was lying on the warm and soft dragon couch at this moment, and he was so angry that his back teeth were about to break.
Emperor Tianwu, with his back against the wall, opened his eyes with a flicker of his eyelids and looked at the unfamiliar face kneeling outside the cell. A flash of doubt flashed across his eyes.
He frowned, looked around, and opened his mouth with a hoarse voice.
"Why are you alone?"
It would be too risky for one person to rescue so many people.
Although the eunuch in front of him looked unfamiliar, he did not doubt his identity.
Starting from my grandfather, they would often pick up some children with good aptitudes from outside the palace and throw them into the corners of the palace at random.
Then he asked reliable eunuchs to pick them up and raise them, and instilled in these children from a young age that it was the current emperor's kindness that allowed them to survive in the palace.
The eunuchs trained in this way, who have no father, no mother, and no family, are extremely loyal to the royal family.
Ever since Chen Yong put him in prison, he knew that his chance of survival had come.
The entire palace was filled with his people, and they were all people that Shen Yong had never expected.
He knew that Shen Yong did not kill him in order to mobilize the loyal followers of the Xuanyuan family.
It was precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to escape.
Otherwise, if Chen Yong killed all the Xuanyuan lineage, everything would be over.
The little shed replied quickly,
"Your Majesty, there are many people and I don't trust anyone."
As he said that, Xiaopengzi turned around and pointed to the prison opposite Emperor Tianwu.
"There is a secret passage in this cell, and only I know it. I will take the emperor away from here right now."
He had nothing else to do in the palace for so many years, so he liked to dig secret passages everywhere.
My godfather said that more paths mean more chances to save your life.
Then the secret passage is a road, so it is used here.
This cell is even darker than the one where Emperor Tianwu was imprisoned. If someone squats in it in broad daylight without making a sound, no one will know that there is someone inside.
Of course, no one had ever been imprisoned in the imperial prison before.
This gave him the opportunity to dig this secret passage.
Emperor Tianwu's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the cell opposite in disbelief, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.
"Where does the secret passage lead to?"
All the secret passages in the palace were drawn on the map, but he didn't remember there was such a secret passage on the map.
It seems that this secret passage was created by the young eunuch himself.
Well, a little eunuch actually dared to dig a secret passage under his nose.
How can the imperial palace be dug up at will? If everyone does this...
The more Emperor Tianwu thought about it, the angrier he became. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he suddenly heard a cry of begging from the cell next door.
"Father...Father...Please take me with you and leave. I want to stay by your side and serve you..."
The eldest prince, who was sleeping uneasily, vaguely heard his father say, "Where does the secret passage lead to?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the eunuch kneeling outside his father's cell and became anxious instantly.
Someone came to rescue his father, but his father didn't wake him and his mother up. It was obvious that he didn't want to take them away.
How could this be possible? If the emperor ran away, he could naturally give birth to a son and make him the crown prince.
Then he would become the prince abandoned by his father.
The eldest prince's shouting woke up the empress dowager, the queen and others in several nearby prisons.
The queen suddenly stood up, knelt down beside the cell, stretched out her hands to Emperor Tianwu, and cried,
"Your Majesty, please take me with you..."
"My son~" the Queen Mother choked with tears in her eyes, "You...you can't abandon me."
She wanted to say something high-sounding and righteous, but she couldn't say it when it came to her lips.
Because she knew that if she told her son to go first and not to worry about her, her son would really do so.
How could she not understand the child she gave birth to?
"...Shut up!" Emperor Tianwu looked at the crying and noisy group of people, his temples throbbing with anger.
"If you want to die, shout as loud as you can and call the guards outside the prison in. No one needs to leave."
None of them even look at where they are and just keep dragging their feet.
Emperor Wu of Liang looked around angrily, a fierce look flashing across his eyes.
It is too dangerous to run away with these burdens.
But if they didn't bring him along, they wouldn't be able to endure the torture, and knowing where he escaped from, they would definitely tell others.
It would be better to take all these people with us, go into the secret passage and find an opportunity to deal with them.
