Chapter 382 Fuping, what do you want?
Inside the imperial palace, in a very remote and dark room in the Jade Concubine's Palace, Concubine Hui's hands and feet were tied with iron chains, her hair was disheveled, and she looked like a madman.
Concubine Yu tied up Concubine Hui with iron chains and forced her to stand all the time. In fact, Concubine Hui had no strength left at all.
For such a long time, she had never experienced what it felt like to lie down and take a nap. The explosive pain in her head forced Concubine Hui to stay awake.
At this time, Concubine Hui was still living stubbornly, because she knew that the emperor would never execute his own son. As long as her son Shangguan Nanfeng was not dead, she still had a chance.
So even if life is worse than death now, she has to live. Only if she is alive, under her guidance, will her son Shangguan Nanfeng have a chance to turn the situation around.
During this period, whenever Concubine Yu missed her son very much, she would come and torture her. Even though the pain was so severe that she wished she were living a life worse than death, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Now there is not a single healthy spot on her body, and she endures the pain of feeling as if her body is torn apart every day. Even so, she has never thought about the word death.
Who is she? How could she not have a backup plan for what she did? In the Jade Concubine's palace, there is a person who is absolutely loyal to her. This person has been lurking in the Jade Concubine's palace, passing on news to her. Naturally, she knows about the major events outside.
"Shangguan Nanxing's wedding is less than a month away, right?" Concubine Hui raised her head, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and asked softly.
"Yes." A somewhat old and feminine voice came, and the person who spoke to Concubine Hui was the supervisor of Concubine Yu's palace, Eunuch Lu.
Eunuch Lu was often bullied when he was young, and it was Concubine Hui who always helped and supported him at critical moments. So even when he knew that Concubine Hui had fallen, he still helped Concubine Hui.
"Very good, keep watching. Remember, as long as the emperor brings the second prince to the palace, you will find a way to get him to come and see me."
After Concubine Hui said this, she lowered her head again as if she had used up her last bit of strength.
"Yes." Although Eunuch Lu had doubts in his heart, wondering how the Second Prince could enter the palace again after committing such a heinous crime, he did not ask these questions, but agreed with Concubine Hui's words.
Concubine Hui has always been extremely intelligent. Maybe she has a way out. This is why he has been helping Concubine Hui.
In this cannibalistic palace, being a loyal servant is the quickest way to death, so he must be prepared for both situations.
On Fuping's side, the servant brought another letter early in the morning. Fuping's heart skipped a beat when she saw the handwriting. Then she took out Li Yan's previous letter and compared them. The handwriting was exactly the same.
"Is the messenger still here?" Fuping was holding two letters in his hands, both of which were obviously written by Li Yan. This meant that Li Yan had not gone far, and she was somewhere in this imperial city.
"My lord, this letter was posted on the door when it was opened." The servant answered honestly. It was obvious that he didn't know who delivered the letter.
"This Li Yan is really cunning, you should go down." Fu Ping muttered in great displeasure after hearing what the servant said.
Seeing that there was no one around, Fuping opened the two letters directly.
"This Li Yan actually asked me to do this. However, this is a good idea." After reading the letter, Fuping seemed uncertain and read it again.
"Someone, come here. I want to go to the palace to find my father." After Fuping burned Li Yan's letter, he went to the palace.
After a long journey, Fuping finally met the emperor in the imperial study.
"Fuping, don't act like a child. The Heavenly Prison is not a place you can go to with your status." The emperor looked at Fuping in front of him helplessly.
"Father, I just want to see how Shangguan Nanfeng is doing." Fuping met the emperor's gaze with a calm expression.
"You know what mistake he made, what do you think he is doing?" The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Fuping with a puzzled look.
"Because I know that my father would be reluctant to kill Nan Feng. After all, he is my father's son." Fu Ping mustered up the courage and said what Li Yan wrote in the letter.
"Fuping, what do you mean?" After hearing Fuping's words, the emperor stood up and took two steps towards Fuping. The look in his eyes was clearly a question that showed he was being seen through.
"Father, I know you don't want to kill Shangguan Nanfeng. We are blood relatives, but Shangguan Nanfeng caused such a big fuss before. All the officials in the court complained. Father has no way to deal with it. That's why he has been dragging it on and not solving it."
Fu Ping was delighted to see his father making such a big move, but on the surface he was analyzing.
"Fuping, who told you these words?" The emperor looked at Fuping and listened to every word that was analyzed in his heart. No one knows a daughter better than her father, and he knew what kind of brain Fuping had.
He really couldn't kill his own son. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Even though Shangguan Nanfeng had committed a heinous crime, he still couldn't bear to do it. This was also the ultimate reason why he used the excuse of punishing Shangguan Nanfeng after the prince's wedding.
"This is what Fuping thought himself, because Fuping has been by his father's side since he was a child, and he knows what his father is thinking." Fuping gritted his teeth and decided to hide Li Yan's affairs.
"So Fuping, what do you mean?" Although the emperor was skeptical, he still wanted to know what Fuping was planning, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked aloud.
"Fuping has a way to help father solve Nanfeng's problem." Fuping looked at the emperor's skeptical look and didn't care. She had to tell him everything Li Yan said in the letter today.
"What do you have in mind?" The emperor seemed to have thought of something and turned back to sit down.
"Father, I will go to see Nan Feng today. I will threaten her with death if she is released. Otherwise, I will not marry the fourth prince of the Mo Kingdom."
Fuping told the contents of the second letter sent by Li Yan.
Obviously, this second letter was written by Li Yan specifically after she knew that the emperor had granted marriage between Fuping and the fourth prince. After all, she knew clearly that Fuping absolutely did not want to marry the fourth prince.
So Fuping will definitely follow the plan she proposed.
"Father, the stability of the two countries and the life of a prince, those ministers will naturally know how to choose. When the time comes, Father will pretend to be embarrassed and blame me for everything. I, Fuping, will bear the consequences."
Seeing that his father did not say anything after hearing the proposal, Fuping added another sentence.
"Fuping, you've made such a great sacrifice, what do you want?" After listening for a long time, the emperor finally asked with a suspicious look.
