Lu Yanluo admitted that this was the first time she had been to jail in her two lifetimes.
Especially since it was an ancient prison cell, it was really bizarre.
Chu Xuan, on the other hand, didn't care at all and almost fell asleep. Before he fell asleep, he kindly told Lu Yanluo, "I have sent a pigeon to Shen He. King Ning's ability can't do anything to me."
Lu Yanluo pinched him directly, making him unusually awake.
"You have a solution but you haven't told me yet?"
Trapped in such a small space, she felt inexplicably irritated.
【Ahhh, this is so annoying! 】
[I can't get out, and I don't know if what Chu Xuan said is reliable! ]
[I finally understand what it feels like to lose my freedom. I'm going crazy! ]
Chu Xuan rubbed the place where he was pinched, frowned slightly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, even if you give Liu Tie ten thousand guts, he dare not deal with us privately. Chu Zhen wants to kill me, so he can only send people to assassinate me. Liu Tie can only help him trap us. When we die suddenly in the prison, we can only say that we arrested the wrong person. And it happened to be a riot in Yingcheng. The emperor will not think too much and will be very happy."
"You know everything, and you're not in a hurry?"
Lu Yanluo couldn't understand!
Chu Xuan sighed helplessly, patted her head, and smiled: "I have been in prison before, so I am quite experienced. The more anxious you are, the more irritable you will be. You should calm down."
I don’t know if it was because he was too calm and gentle, but Lu Yanluo actually calmed down.
But something suddenly occurred to her and she stopped talking.
[He said he had been in jail. Could it be that he was implicated in the Yun Fei incident fifteen years ago?]
[That’s too tragic…]
She cleared her throat and said sympathetically, "I don't know if you can hear what I just thought. I still feel a little sorry for you."
"That's nothing." Chu Xuan sneered. "When my mother got into trouble, the emperor locked me up in the clan residence. My grandfather threatened to commit suicide and gave up his military power, but the emperor refused to let me go. I was locked up for more than half a year. My grandfather, holding the golden medal of immunity from death passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, hanged himself in the palace. For a time, the court and the people were full of resentment, and the emperor finally opened his mouth and let me go."
It must be said that after listening to his story, Lu Yanluo felt very calm and not annoyed at all.
She asked softly, "Then how did you grow up to this point?"
According to Chu Xuan, the emperor not only hated him, he wanted to kill him every minute.
But he now holds military power, and his influence in the court is much greater than that of Prince Ning. Therefore, even if the emperor wants to kill him, he can only send him to provide disaster relief and then let Prince Ning wait for an opportunity to assassinate him.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan just sneered: "With Chu Zhen's brain, even if I have no favor from the emperor, I can still suppress him and make him unable to raise his head!"
After being released from prison, Chu Xuan chose to fight on the battlefield. A few years later, he returned to Beijing with a lot of military merits. The military power in his hands was his own, and it was also his greatest confidence.
After returning to Beijing, he immediately established his own power in the court and became a prince with omnipotent power.
This is Chu Xuan’s method and strategy. How many people in the court and the country can match him?
How many people have his courage?
For the first time, Lu Yanluo felt that the man in front of her was not completely useless, but then she thought of Yan Xiwan...
[Big pig's hoof, you are still very fickle! ]
[No matter how great you are, you are still unfaithful! ]
【I’m so annoyed with you! 】
Chu Xuan was scolded for no apparent reason: "???"
Just as he was about to explain, there was a sudden noise outside, and then a group of men in black appeared out of nowhere and cut off the lock of the cell door with a knife.
"The master has ordered that this man and woman be killed on the spot!"
Lu Yanluo was dumbfounded: "Didn't you say you contacted Shen He?!"
The one coming is not Shen He, but an assassin!
She is going to die!
Chu Xuan also frowned and said calmly: "I believe in Shen He. Since the assassins are here, Shen He will be here soon."
As he said this, he dodged the assassin who was rushing towards him and snatched the long sword from his hand.
The long sword blocked several people, and Chu Xuan stood in front of Lu Yanluo: "A Luo, find a chance to leave quickly, don't worry about me!"
Just as he finished speaking, several arrows shot out and hit the black-clad assassin.
"master!"
Shen He has arrived!
Chu Xuan knocked out an assassin next to him with his backhand. The officers and soldiers brought by Shen He killed all the assassins before reporting back: "Master, it's all resolved. It's my failure that made you suffer."
"No problem."
Chu Xuan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, then he supported Lu Yanluo.
Shen He reported: "All the relief money has been distributed, making sure every penny goes into the hands of the people. County Magistrate Liu Tie has been captured alive by my subordinates, and after investigation, I found that the plague in Yingcheng has been brought under control. The plague was contracted from the neighboring Yecheng."
"So that's how it is." Chu Xuan nodded and took Lu Yanluo out of the prison.
When I walked into the main hall of the county government, I saw Liu Tie in shackles and locked to the ground, looking so miserable.
“Your Majesty!” Liu Tie yelled when he saw him, “Your Majesty, please spare my life! I was also following the orders of Prince Ning. Your Majesty, please spare my life!”
Chu Xuan was calm and composed. He walked up to him with his hands behind his back, casually flicked off the weeds on his body, and said with a smile, "Kill him."
Liu Tie was horrified: "Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Shen He took a few steps forward and swung his knife!
The screaming stopped abruptly.
Lu Yanluo watched quietly, with no ripples in her heart.
"Are you scared?" Chu Xuan asked carefully.
Lu Yanluo shook her head: "If I encounter a betrayer, I will deal with it in the same way. I will never tolerate anyone who has hurt me."
Chu Xuan looked at her with even more admiration in his eyes.
"As expected of this king's princess."
He smiled and waved his hand: "Shen He, prepare to go to Yecheng."
Shen He frowned: "Master, there is a plague raging there. You are only here to provide disaster relief in Yingcheng this time. Why would you risk your life again?"
"Yecheng is just a small and backward town. If I don't go there, all the villagers will die of the plague. The emperor far away in the capital will not be aware of the suffering of the people, let alone send people to provide disaster relief." Chu Xuan said lightly and announced the itinerary without any doubt.
Lu Yanluo smiled when she heard this: "Does Your Majesty want me to help treat the people of Yecheng?"
[You are quite good at finding helpers, Chu Xuan. ]
[But one thing is true——]
[Except for me, there is indeed no one in this world who can cure the ancient plague. ]
Chu Xuan nodded with great satisfaction: "The king and the princess have similar views."
However, just as he finished speaking, the guards suddenly brought up a woman in tattered clothes, "Your Highness, this woman has repeatedly made trouble outside the yamen, clamoring to see you, and your subordinates dare not deal with her arbitrarily, so they brought her here."
Lu Yanluo tilted her head to look, and when she saw the woman's face, she immediately sneered.
"Yan Xiwan, why is it you?"
