"I dare not!"
Lady Ning hurriedly lowered her head, looking a little flustered.
Chu Li sneered, "As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. Let's not talk about the eldest prince's affairs. What kind of person is the Sixth Prince? What did he do? How many people did he harm? Don't you really know?"
Lady Ning hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, I am so embarrassed by what you said. Ever since the eldest and sixth princes left the palace, I have been staying in the palace and rarely get together with the children. Every time we meet, we only see each other for a few hours. How can I know what the sixth prince did and who he harmed?"
"If that's the case, then how can you be sure that he is innocent?"
"My concubine..."
Concubine Ning said hurriedly, "I have watched the Sixth Prince grow up and I know his character. He would never dare to rebel."
"But I'm telling you about harming someone!"
The woman's voice was sharp, and the coldness between her brows was intimidating without her even being angry, which made Concubine Ning's heart tremble.
this……
Is this still the gentle, lively and temper-free Ninth Prince of the past?
I haven't seen him for a few days, and he seems like a different person... No, he is a different person, the Ninth Prince has turned into a woman!
She looked sincere, trying to persuade Chu Li:
"The Sixth Prince is kindhearted, gentle, obedient, filial and sensible. He will never do anything to harm others. I believe him. Ninth Prince, please trust me for once. You should know how I have behaved in the palace over the years."
"I always go to play with Concubine Wen, and I watched you grow up."
Chu Li smiled.
There is no absolute black or absolute white in the world.
Chu Li didn't believe that she was unaware of what the Sixth Prince had done; and she didn't believe that she really had no ambitions.
"Mr. Ning, you are a smart person. You should know that before you say anything or do anything, you need to pay a price."
Chu Li's lips curled up coldly, and he stood up and said:
"Come with me."
Concubine Ning looked slightly doubtful and looked hesitantly at her back as she walked away.
Chu Li turned around: "What? You don't want to see the Sixth Prince?"
Lady Ning wiped her eyes and followed closely: "I believe in the Ninth Prince's character. He will keep his word and will not let down a poor mother like me. Besides, we are both women. The Ninth Prince should not embarrass a woman like me who is powerless."
"If the Sixth Prince is really imprisoned for life, I would rather end my life with a white silk scarf..."
These words were spoken not only to the Sixth Prince, but also to Chu Li.
Implications:
If the Ninth Prince does not release the Sixth Prince, she will commit suicide.
It was as if the Ninth Prince had forced her to death.
Moral kidnapping?
Oh!
In the past, Chu Li would have turned a blind eye and the matter would have let it go, but this time it involved the Eighth Emperor!
"Don't worry, noble lady Ning, please come with me. I just want to take you to the clan residence to meet the Sixth Prince."
Lady Ning looked delighted.
real?
Very good!
The Ninth Prince is indeed kind-hearted!
The clan house.
With the token of the Regent, one can enter unimpeded. This is a place specially designed to imprison abandoned royal relatives. Any princes and nobles who enter here will end up dying of old age or illness.
It was cold and dark here, with an air of despair everywhere. Even the guards were indifferent and lifeless.
"please."
The guard opened the lock indifferently.
When I opened the door, I saw a room so simple that the walls were bare and there was only a wooden bed. It was like a quiet dark room, so closed that it was hopeless.
Chu Yi was stripped of his brocade clothes and was left wearing rough cloth. He sat on the wooden bed with his legs crossed, biting his nails:
"You're finally here."
The calm reaction seemed to be expected.
"There is no antidote, so don't speak."
Chu Li walked in: "I'm not here to ask for the antidote, I'm here to give you a chance."
Looking at the small and dim room, he sighed:
"If you are locked up in a place like this, you will probably go crazy before you die of old age in ten days or half a month."
"Noble Ning felt sorry for you and came to me to cry. I also have a mother and a child. When she cried, I softened my heart."
There's not even a place to sit in this room.
Chu Li looked at Chu Yi's always cold face and said:
"I told her that only a life for a life can buy your freedom."
Chu Yi paused while biting his nails, and a dark light flashed in his eyes: "What do you want to do?"
"As a woman, I am only fulfilling her motherly love. Sixth brother, it would be easy for me to kill both of you. There is no need to joke with you. You only have one chance, so think about it yourself."
Chu Li pulled out her hairpin, threw it on the wooden bed, turned around and walked out.
Outside, Concubine Ning was waiting nervously.
"Ninth Prince, can I come in?"
"Go ahead."
Since you firmly believe that the Sixth Prince is kind, gentle, filial, and sensible, then pray that he will be like that.
"Thank you, Ninth Prince!"
Lady Ning was overjoyed and rushed in, "My son!"
Seeing Chu Yi's embarrassed and dejected appearance, Concubine Ning's heart almost bled, and she hugged Chu Yi tightly:
"My poor Yi'er!"
Chu Yi's hair was disheveled, and his eyelids were dark, but he slowly clenched the hairpin in his sleeve, his eyes gradually becoming darker and fiercer:
"Mother, you have been planning for your son all these years. Today... help him one last time..."
"What did you say? I have already begged the Ninth Prince, and she agreed to let... ugh!"
