Chapter 65 Dark Night Massacre
Before, when Lin Chuyan was a companion reader in the palace, in addition to Prince Chang's courtesy towards her, Prince Gong also always paid attention to her.
She could feel the restrained and implicit affection in it, but she just didn't care about it before.
Over the years, Prince Gong has been just like his title. On the surface, he is respectful to others, never showing any edge, and hiding his thoughts very deeply.
If she was not the person involved, she would not have noticed the gazes that were inadvertently resting on her.
But, is he willing to expose himself?
Lin Chuyan wasn't sure.
But she had to try.
She asked the jailer for pen and ink and wrote a short letter.
She also gave him her personal jade pendant and purse.
She did this, believing that Prince Gong would understand her intentions after seeing her.
I hope Prince Gong can rescue her from prison as soon as possible.
After all, Princess Huaian’s death had nothing to do with her.
She was also wronged!
She murmured, "Your Highness, please don't let me down, and don't make me wait too long!"
At this time, Prince Gong, whom she was talking about, was kneeling in front of Concubine Zhao, fighting hard and fearlessly.
"Mother, you have always known what I am thinking."
"Miss Lin San is a delicate young woman, how could she stay in such a filthy place?"
"Normally, my mother has strictly forbidden me from getting close to her. My son has obeyed you and has always restrained his emotions and treated her with indifference."
"Now that she's behind bars, I can't just sit back and watch!"
Concubine Zhao looked at her son, whom she had high hopes for, with a complicated expression, hoping that he would stop being so stubborn.
This matter can be stopped in time, don't get involved anymore.
But Prince Gong stubbornly refused to get up, and continued to kneel on the ground motionless, begging constantly.
"Mother, I will obey you in everything and will never disobey you. Today, I beg you!"
"Go to the Emperor and plead for mercy. He will definitely listen to you and won't insist on keeping Miss Lin imprisoned."
"Even if we can't let her go, locking her up in the yard is still a good idea!"
"How could such a pure and innocent woman be insulted like this?"
"Mother, please..."
After saying this, he kowtowed several times, his head was bruised, but he still insisted on begging for mercy.
Prince Gong Huoling had been kneeling in Concubine Zhao's palace for more than two hours. His knees were sore from kneeling, but he had been enduring it.
Thinking of Lin Chuyan who was still in prison, he felt extremely distressed.
Normally, those feelings could be hidden, but today they burst out like a tsunami, and it was out of control...
Concubine Zhao couldn't bear it, and she earnestly lectured her son, "Ling'er, although your mother favors you a little, I dare not provoke Concubine Li in the harem."
"Usually, my mother pretends to be deaf and dumb, protects herself wisely, and avoids the sharp edge. This is how my mother and I can be safe."
"It's obvious that Prince Chang is interested in Lin Chuyan, so you must not show any affection at all."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't stand a chance of winning against the imperial concubine and her son."
"Over the years, my mother and I have been very careful and low-key, fearing even the slightest misstep. This is why we have been able to stay safe in the harem until now."
"Are you really going to disrupt your peaceful life just for a woman?"
"Have you ever thought about how we would live if Concubine Li and her son were to keep us in our sight?"
Huo Ling still refused to accept the situation and said, "Mother, we have endured it for so many years. Do we have to endure it forever?"
"I don't even dare to fight for the woman I like, let alone express it."
"Now that she's in trouble, and you don't even dare to help her, what's the point of me being a prince?"
"It's better to just die!"
After saying this, he lowered his head in despair, looking extremely painful.
Concubine Zhao was forced into a corner and couldn't bear it any longer. She waved her hand and said, "Please leave first! I'll change my clothes and bring some snacks to the emperor..."
When Huo Ling heard his mother agreed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Supported by his personal guards, he limped towards his palace.
When he was halfway there, a guard handed him a letter, a jade pendant and a purse.
Huo Ling looked at the familiar and beautiful handwriting and knew who it was.
He happily opened the letter and read it quickly.
She then carefully put the jade pendant and purse into her chest, her face full of joyful smile.
His years of devoted waiting finally got a response.
I feel as happy as if I had eaten honey.
*****
King Rui and King Chang were hiding in a cave, drinking and talking.
Prince Chang looked decadent and frustrated.
Prince Duan consoled him, "From my surveillance and the information I've gathered this day, Wei Zixing hasn't made any contact with the Emperor or the Crown Prince."
"You still need to intensify the search here. Don't give him a chance to turn over!"
"Also, we still need to speed up the process of bribing and recruiting the Wei family army."
Prince Chang nodded.
"knew!"
"We have already gained the support of most of the civil officials in the court."
"Now we have to find a way to gain control of the military. I will have General Li speed up the process."
Prince Duan thought for a moment and then said, "I have been collecting intelligence all day and found an important clue."
"A lot of strange things have happened recently, and they all seem to be related to the Lin family, and they are all inextricably linked to that Sixth Miss."
"Also, when has Huo Yuchen ever defended a woman?"
"But today, he actually spoke up for Lin Pianran several times for the first time."
"I always thought this was very strange."
"I'm planning to secretly take action against Miss Lin Liu. I'm going to capture her and interrogate her thoroughly to see if there's anything fishy going on!"
Prince Chang didn't care about this matter. "What's there to worry about for a little girl?"
"Catch them if you want, kill them if you want, it's up to you, brother."
The two brothers chatted and drank, and before they knew it, they had drunk a lot of wine.
He was even a little drunk.
Another quarter of an hour later, Prince Duan stood up and said goodbye.
He was dressed in black and wearing a thick cloak. His whole body was submerged in the darkness, and behind him were more than 20 highly skilled secret guards.
Suddenly, dense arrows were shot out from the dense forest.
Although the secret guards were skilled and had quick reactions, several of them were still shot to death.
The secret guards quickly moved to the center and protected Prince Duan tightly in the middle.
Then, another wave of arrows shot over like raindrops.
Even though they all tried to block the arrows, they still killed several more secret guards.
After three or four waves of arrows, only a few secret guards were left alive.
The others were all shot to pieces and died.
Prince Duan was extremely panicked as he watched the dwindling number of secret guards.
