"Yes, that's how it should be."
Others echoed.
Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye did not favor anyone vying for the throne, which had long caused dissatisfaction among the Crown Prince and Prince Yu. Now it would be perfect to take advantage of the opportunity to capture them and replace them with their own people.
…
Sky Prison.
This is not an ordinary cell. Those who are qualified to be imprisoned here are generally royal relatives, powerful officials and nobles, as well as some people with political significance.
Therefore, this prison is not as dark and damp as the outside world says, with rats and bugs everywhere, and smells of mold, etc.
Instead, they were clean, and each cell was spacious, with complete and warm bedding, a full range of food, both meat and vegetables, and some even had wine.
Because no one can guarantee that those who come here will not leave.
Moreover, anyone who enters here must have a high status, and there is no guarantee whether they have any relatives or friends who are officials outside.
If they think that someone is easy to bully because he is down and out, if he gets out again, or if his relatives and friends miss him, the jailer can easily deal with him.
In addition, someone from above had given a heads-up, so Zhao Lin didn't suffer any harm when he came here and was served well.
"Master Zhao, someone is here to see you."
The jailer brought a man.
Zhao Lin was dozing off. He opened his eyes upon hearing this and asked in surprise, "Your Highness? Why are you here?"
The jailer wisely walked away.
***Li Weibai concealed his features and said, "Let me see our youngest champion, prefect, governor, governor-general, and general."
Zhao Lin smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, please stop laughing at me."
"Hmph! Everything was fine, how did you offend the emperor and make him so angry that he threw you into the Heavenly Prison?" Li Weibai asked.
Zhao Lin said: "It's because Concubine Rong complained."
Li Weibai frowned and said, "Just because of this?"
"Then what else?" Zhao Lin sighed: "I just realized that if it weren't for Wu Zhonglin, Rong Fei would have been given away as a gift by her parents. That's why Rong Fei is very grateful to Wu Zhonglin and his family, just like her biological parents. And His Majesty dotes on Rong Fei so much, so you see it."
"So that's how it is." Li Weibai suddenly understood.
It's normal for Cheng** to do strange things.
What they were curious about was how Zhao Lin, who had originally won the emperor's favor, suddenly became a prisoner.
It turned out that someone who was more favored by the emperor had filed a complaint.
"I can save you." Li Weibai asked bluntly, "What can you give?"
Zhao Lin was surprised and asked, "Can you convince His Majesty?"
Li Weibai said proudly: "Although Rong Fei is favored, I am the emperor's biological sister, so you have to give me face."
"Forget it, Your Highness, please don't bother me." Zhao Lin didn't want to get involved with Li Weibai any more.
Li Weibai said, "Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye were also dismissed from their posts and imprisoned yesterday for admonishing the emperor."
"What?"
Zhao Lin was startled, quickly got up, and shouted, "Help, help!"
The jailer came over quickly and asked, "What's the matter, Master Zhao?"
Zhao Lin asked, "Where are Minister Fu and Prefect Li?"
The jailer said, "The two elders are somewhere else."
Zhao Lin said, "Lock me up."
The jailer quickly said, "No, no, this is a special order from above. We're going to separate you to prevent collusion."
Zhao Lin laughed angrily: "Given the character of the two adults, would they collude with me?"
The jailer said, "I don't know about that. This is an order from above."
"never mind."
Zhao Lin waved his hand and the jailer left quickly.
"What do you think? No one can save you except me." Li Weibai said.
Zhao Lin sighed and said, "Even if I could get out, I'm not the governor anymore and can't help you."
Li Weibai said: "I am attracted by you as a person, your status is not important."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. But His Majesty is angry, so Your Highness should not take any risks." Zhao Lin said.
Li Weibai said angrily: "You don't believe me?"
"Of course I believe you, and I believe you can convince His Majesty to release me, but it won't do you any good." Zhao Lin said directly, "I can't give you what Your Majesty wants, so please don't bother."
Li Weibai snorted coldly: "I said, I'm attracted to you as a person."
Zhao Lin said: "I am already married and have two wives."
Li Weibai said angrily, "Who said I want to marry you? I'm attracted by your literary talent and ability."
Zhao Lin acted as if he had suddenly realized something: "I see. I thought Your Highness was attracted to me. Thank you so much, Your Highness."
Li Weibai was so angry that her teeth itched: "I have seen countless handsome men, how could I be attracted to you? Remember, once I rescue you, you are mine, understand?"
"I understand, I understand. I will go through fire and water for Your Highness, even if it means death." Zhao Lin said casually.
"That's more like it."
Li Weibai left with satisfaction.
Zhao Lin shook his head.
You come here without knowing anything about the situation. How dare you fight for the throne with such a small brain?
As expected, if you don't seek death, you won't die.
Just as Zhao Lin closed his eyes and prepared to rest, the jailer came with someone else: "Master Zhao, someone is here to see you."
Zhao Lin opened his eyes and saw the person coming. He was stunned for a moment: "Brother Bai? Why are you here?"
Bai Shiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't save you, so I can only come to see you. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhao Lin gave a thumbs-up. "Everyone says Brother Bai is kind and righteous, and it's true. Others avoid him, but Brother Bai dares to risk His Majesty's blame to come and see me. I'll take note."
Bai Shiyuan sighed, "Don't say these useless things. If you need anything, just tell me. I will help you in any way I can."
