The prince did not answer Xu Tianze's question immediately. He looked at Xiaozhanzi, then at Xu Tianze, and then laughed mischievously.
"My second brother just left, and I gave you this gift. If he knew about it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to rest in peace even if I left."
Xu Tianze frowned. He keenly sensed what favor the prince wanted him to help with, but this was the kind of favor he least wanted to help with.
"I don't know whether you can live peacefully down there, but Long Musi and Song Yu probably won't let you have an easy time." Xu Tianze shook his head and retorted half-jokingly.
Even if Xu Tianze really made it clear that nothing would really happen between him, Song Yu and Long Musi, but based on his understanding of those two people.
Those two people must have some thoughts about him. After all, using the name of love to achieve their ultimate goal has always been what Song Yu and Long Musi are best at.
So what Xu Tianze said was not wrong.
"They are just some bad love affairs. They don't even know what's going on with them, yet they are acting so arrogantly and aggressively." When talking about Song Yu and Long Musi, the smile on the prince's face faded a lot.
His words were full of disdain for Long Musi and Song Yu, as well as a kind of sorrow that made the fox mourn the loss of the rabbit.
"If you don't want to be a chess piece, there are many ways to get out of the game. Why choose the most extreme one?" Xu Tianze took the opportunity to give some advice.
If nothing else, just letting the prince survive is a good thing. After all, one more person to help means one more burden, and he can still make up his mind which one to choose in the end.
Furthermore, the closer Xu Tianze got to the chess game set up by Emperor Gan, the more frightened he became, and the more he understood how difficult it would be for him to completely break free from the game by himself.
The prince seemed to see a fire in Xu Tianze's eyes, a fire that could not be extinguished no matter what. He swallowed the speech he had prepared long ago and just smiled and nodded.
If you can live, who would really want to die?
This is not the first time he has believed in Xu Tianze. When he first believed in Xu Tianze, he still had this and that concern. Now that it is the worst situation, he no longer has so many concerns.
The worst possible outcome would be death, so it didn't seem to matter if he went crazy with Xu Tianze.
"Then shouldn't our honorable Crown Prince just leave this cage?" Xu Tianze stood up with a smile and extended his hand to the Crown Prince.
Xu Tianze stared blankly at the hand that Xu Tianze suddenly stretched out. In the dimness of the cell, he could no longer see Xu Tianze's face clearly.
But the hand that reached out to me was particularly vivid. It was just like the hand that reached out to me when I fell. There was no ridicule or sarcasm, only the words "Hold my hand."
The prince came to his senses, grabbed Xu Tianze's hand, and stood up with Xu Tianze's help.
Then the prince followed Xu Tianze and walked out of the cell. When passing by Xiaozhanzi, the prince paused for a moment, and then continued to follow.
The small cup that fell at the back lowered its eyes and tightly grasped the jade pendant in its hand. Finally, it carefully hid the jade pendant under the double cover of its sleeve and the blind spot of its sight.
"You have been in the Heavenly Prison for so long, have you cleared the blockage of the prison?" Although Xu Tianze did not turn around, his words came over steadily.
"Of course it is unblocked. Otherwise, I would not be so comfortable in this prison for so long." The prince also gave Xu Tianze a direct answer.
After all, this is his temporary residence for a long time. If he doesn't smooth things over and replace the people with his own, he probably won't be able to stay in the prison with peace of mind.
Otherwise, he might have been killed silently by the enemy before he could even reach Xu Tianze, and that would have been a huge loss for him.
Xu Tianze nodded and said that the entry into the prison was so smooth that it was not right. Now he was strolling in the prison with the prince and did not see any jailer stopping them.
Even when he met the jailer just now, the jailer turned around and left, basically ignoring him.
"Is there a secret passage?" Xu Tianze stopped thinking and turned to look at the prince.
"Ah?" The prince was startled by Xu Tianze's sudden turn. Before he could recover, he heard Xu Tianze's question and did not react for a while.
Xu Tianze turned around and stared at the prince's face, his eyes full of inquiry.
He calculated the time and found that the prince had been in the prison for at least two years. He had already replaced all the people in the prison with his own people.
Then we should also understand that although the Heavenly Prison is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the enemy blocks the only exit, we will become lambs to be slaughtered.
Therefore, building a secret passage is essential. Even those who have received ordinary noble education know this truth. There is no reason why a prince from a royal family would not know this truth.
"Yes, after smoothing things over with his connections, His Highness ordered me to oversee this matter." Seeing that the prince was still confused, Xiaozhanzi had no choice but to speak up and take over the topic.
"Then let's take the secret passage. Lead the way." Xu Tianze made the decision immediately and looked at Xiaozhanzi.
"Why are you looking at me? You are Brother Xu's man now." The prince reacted and saw that Xiaozhanzi was still waiting for his opinion, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Of course he knew that Xiaozhanzi did this because he had not yet adapted to his new identity, and the subconscious habits he had developed over the years were not so easy to change.
However, the prince still had to sever his ties with Xiaozhanzi, otherwise the person he sent out would still be primarily himself, and no one else would use him.
After all, Xiaozhanzi has been with the prince for some years. Although he is reluctant to let her go, the prince has already given her up, so he has to adjust his attitude. Besides, the prince also hopes that Xiaozhanzi can be reused.
Those who left his side always had some master-servant relationship with him. They would not push him into the fire pit, but naturally hoped that Xiaozhanzi would have a good destination in the end.
Xiaozhanzi's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Xu Tianze secretly and found that there was no anger on Xu Tianze's face at all. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around to lead Xu Tianze and the prince.
"Brother Xu, if you and I can think of this secret passage, people outside can also think of it." The prince hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Tianze.
We all have received education from aristocrats, and no one is really stupid. If they can guess it, how can outsiders not guess it?
I'm afraid they have already sent people to watch at the other end of the secret passage, waiting for them to fall into the trap.
"Since you knew that, could it be that you only built one secret passage? You don't have any backup plan?" Xu Tianze rolled his eyes impatiently at the prince.
