Chapter 241 Fu Yi's Prison Life
As soon as Cheng Nianying left, King Liang sat down in front of Fu Yi with his horse and sword. He was a casual person.
She does look a bit like Cheng Nianying.
Fu Yi's lips curled up slightly.
"What does King Liang want to tell me? I think it would be better if Xiao He could act as the middleman."
Upon hearing this, the King of Liang showed displeasure: "What do you regard her as? A messenger for your Fu Yi?"
Fu Yi looked up.
The atmosphere froze in an instant.
The two of them stood in silence for a moment, and finally it was King Liang who spoke first: "Didn't you kill him?"
Fu Yi didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but finally spoke up: "Do I have to make myself so embarrassed after killing someone?"
King Liang: “…”
Even when Fu Yi was defending himself, it was still so infuriating. It was as if everyone in the world had the same intelligence as a bug crawling on the ground in front of him, making it difficult to conceal his contempt and arrogance.
My daughter! My only child! Do you really want to stay with this thing?
King Liang quickly recalled the life in Shaoqu Tower that Jiang Shenyuan had mentioned.
"I know why Xiao He told me that day. It wasn't you who abducted her to come to the Imperial Capital, but someone used her to threaten you."
"oh?"
"The one who kidnapped her was Jiang Shenyuan."
"good."
"Xiao He's change of heart towards you is also because you saved her from Jiang Shenyuan."
"yes."
Prince Liang suddenly stood up and punched the wall. He turned around, his eyes red. "It's my fault! I didn't realize she existed sooner! It's because of me, as a father, that I didn't show up by her side to protect her! That's why you got the chance..."
"That's why she stepped back into the abyss of you."
Fu Yi looked indifferent.
After a moment, he smiled coldly: "Oh, what's wrong with the abyss?"
But King Liang did not answer this.
He took a half step back and said, "I've sent someone to look for that Mu He."
"The Emperor may not let her live."
King Liang's eyebrows knitted together. "It's really hard to save you. Why don't you just stay here until the day I ascend the throne?"
Prince Liang had no interest in the throne.
But that was in the past. He had seen how his father had to do many things to be a good emperor. He never wanted to live that life for even a single day.
But now, he felt that he had to stand up and protect Xiaohe!
Fu Yi chuckled: "Wait? Your Majesty can't wait."
When Prince Liang heard this, he suddenly realized, "You should have known that the emperor would not tolerate you? You had no preparation at all? This is not like you."
Fu Yi said calmly: "No."
After that, he added: "We can make a bet."
"What's the bet?"
"Mu He is not stupid. She knows that she will be silenced the moment she kills the princess. Maybe she hid herself before being silenced."
"Okay, let's make a bet."
But King Liang still felt uncomfortable all over.
It seems that Fu Yi doesn't care much about his own life or death.
But to say that he is not afraid of death is obviously not true.
King Liang looked at Fu Yi again. Fu Yi was still sitting there, his posture had not changed.
It was like an abyss lying there, making it impossible to see through him at all.
So, how could his daughter be with him?
King Liang gritted his teeth.

The soldier was still a little confused when he saw Cheng Nianying walking out alone.
How come this guard can run faster than his master?
Is it so easy to be the prince’s bodyguard?
"How does Prince Danshuo spend his days here?" Cheng Nianying asked in a low voice.
The soldier hesitated.
The green-robed official kicked him and said, "Every day at 3:00 AM, he is woken up and interrogated by officials from the Dali Temple, then the Ministry of Justice, and finally the Censorate..."
Then he would ask for a pot of water, plain water, and drink it in front of the jailer outside the fence.
Just like drinking tea.
The jailers often didn't dare to meet his gaze. Once they did, they would feel inexplicably ashamed, as if they had helped the evildoer and wronged him.
He is so leisurely and calm, a true scholar.
"What else?"
The green-robed official suddenly came to his senses and suppressed his restless emotions, remembering that this person was brought by King Liang, and these questions would naturally reach King Liang's ears.
Then Fu Yi in prison can't be so leisurely!
His suffering should be described in great detail!
"Prince Danshuo can only sleep for two hours a day. Apart from His Royal Highness Prince Liang, no one else comes to visit him. The prince is picky. He rejected the food brought to him on the first day and refused to eat it. After refusing it twice in a row, he stopped giving him any more food..."
As the green-robed official was speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
That's strange.
Where is the leak?
"Go on." Cheng Nianying's voice was cold.
"Oh, yes, it's just that His Majesty is kind and, considering the prince's old injury, he sent someone to deliver medicine. But the prince refused it all. How ungrateful..."
The green-robed official felt his neck getting even colder.
Just as he was hesitating about how to continue the story, Prince Liang came out. When he saw Cheng Nianying, he asked with concern, "Who made you unhappy?"
Cheng Nianying turned around coldly.
King Liang hurriedly followed.
This scene left the soldier confused again. Haha, was he dazzled? He actually thought that His Royal Highness Prince Liang was trying to please the guard, haha.
The soldier quickly turned around and continued to guard Fu Yi.
"Sir!" the soldier shouted in surprise.
The green-robed official walked over, touched his still cold neck, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The soldier pointed at the wall and said, "How come my fist made a hole here?"
The green-robed official averted his gaze, turned around and whispered, "Prince Liang truly despises Prince Danshuo."
The news that Prince Liang had been to the prison soon reached the emperor's ears.
"So angry that you're smashing the wall?" The emperor sighed deeply. "Prince Liang hates Fu Yi now, so why is he condoning Cheng Nianying in the court?"
The chief eunuch poured tea for the emperor and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Liang is too upright. No matter how much he hates Fu Yi, he is unwilling to wrong him."
"Is it an injustice?" The emperor glanced sideways.
The head eunuch immediately realized his slip of the tongue, his expression suddenly changing. He knelt and kowtowed heavily, saying, "I was wrong! Prince Danshuo murdered Princess Zhaoning and intended to rebel with Prince Ding. The evidence is irrefutable! How could he be wrongly accused?"
"Get up. Prince Liang was so angry today that he smashed the wall. His hand must have been injured. Send me some medicine for his injury."
“Yes, yes!”
Here, Cheng Nianying and King Liang were sitting in the carriage on their way back to the palace.
King Liang's eyes and chest ached. He wanted to take action, but in the end he held back and only managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Stop biting your lips."
Cheng Nianying came back to her senses: "Yeah."
She licked her lower lip.
There was a row of teeth marks on my lower lip that I had bitten unconsciously.
The words of the green-robed official were naturally annoying. But Cheng Nianying also knew that they were just small soldiers and had to obey orders from their superiors.
Emperor, Emperor!
With a "snap", Cheng Nianying broke off the handle of the lacquer tray on the small table.
She looked up at King Liang.
Prince Liang said quickly, "Break it, break it, if you like, break it for fun! We have plenty in our house!"
*
Deathly silence returned to the prison.
The soldier patched up the hole in the wall while muttering to himself.
Then he patted the dust off his hands and squatted down in front of Fu Yi: "They deliberately sent only a humble person to guard here today, probably hoping that you will not be able to bear it and escape from prison, thus adding to your crime."
After he finished speaking, he took out some wrapped oil paper bags from his sleeves, placed them in front of Fu Yi, and whispered, "I have tried the poison."
Fu Yi raised his eyelids: "Do you want people to find out who you belong to?"
"It's hidden."
"It's not time to use you yet."
The soldier stood up, muttering to himself, "This wall is so hard to repair," "Why do I have to do everything?", "We should hire a bricklayer."
He walked out, took the food out of the oil-paper bag and stuffed it into his mouth, crying silently as he did so.
The other jailers standing far away glanced at him and curled their lips: "What a stupid and greedy guy!"
*
At that time, officials who had been busy on duty all day and princes and nobles who had been relaxing outside all day had all returned to their homes.
"There's a letter for you."
Follow the preaching.
