Chapter 560 Questioning
Why waste your precious time on Luo Qinghan?
Because Xiao Xixi saw her own past self in him.
The kind of stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat even when isolated and forced into a desperate situation.
She once struggled desperately and tried desperately to survive, but in the end she still lost to fate.
She has already lost.
But Luo Qinghan still has hope of winning.
She wanted to help him win.
This is probably a kind of empathy-like psychology. If she can see others doing something she can't do herself, she will feel happy and satisfied.
Xiao Xixi said softly: "For me, the most interesting thing is to help the prince get what he wants."
Fang Wujiu looked at her helplessly: "You are in too deep."
Xiao Xixi: "It doesn't matter. I never thought about crawling out anyway."
There are only about two years left, so what does it matter whether I can climb out or not?
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Fang, the prince wants you to come over."
Fang Wujiu stood up and said, "I have to go now. You stay here. When everything is settled, I will personally send you back to the sect."
Xiao Xixi did not respond.
Fang Wujiu left.
The door was closed and the sound of locking was heard from outside.
Xiao Xixi sat quietly on the bed, listening to the footsteps gradually fading away.
Not until the footsteps completely disappeared did she raise her head. Her eyes were still a little red, but the discomfort on her face had disappeared.
She took the dagger from her bosom.
This dagger was given to her by her master. The blade is extremely sharp and can cut a hair short.
It also has two special features.
One is that the knife is poisoned.
Second, there is a pill hidden in the handle of the knife.
Xiao Xixi pinched the small ball at the end of the handle, turned it half a circle, and pushed it inside.
A small hole immediately appeared on the handle of the knife, and a pill emerged from it.
This is a universal detoxifying elixir specially developed by the master.
It can not only neutralize the poison on the knife, but also neutralize other poisons. Even the medicinal properties of Qixu Pills can be neutralized by it.
Xiao Xixi threw the pill into her mouth and swallowed it after chewing it.
The master knew her taste and specially made this detoxification pill to look like a candy bean so that it tastes sweet.
After taking the pill, she could clearly feel her body regaining strength and her internal energy could be used normally.
She stood up and looked around the room.
The doors and windows are all closed.
She tried pushing gently, but they were all locked from the outside.
If she used her internal strength, she could break it open, but that would make too much noise.
We have to think of a more reliable way.
She looked up at the beams above.
…
Eunuch Chang wanted to help the prince out of the car, but was pushed away by him.
His face looked extremely ugly, and his eye sockets were slightly red, as if he was trying hard to suppress something, and there was a sense of danger that could erupt at any time.
Luo Qinghan strode towards the imperial study.
But he was stopped by the imperial guards guarding the door.
He said in a hoarse voice, "I want to go in."
The guard was a little scared when he saw that he looked strange, but he still spoke up.
"No one is allowed to enter the Imperial Study without the Emperor's permission. This is the rule. Your Highness should know this."
Luo Qinghan ignored his words and repeated them again.
"I want to go in!"
The guard pleaded, "Please, Your Highness, please do not embarrass me."
Luo Qinghan simply pushed away the guards who were blocking his way and forced his way into the imperial study.
The guards were horrified and wanted to chase after him, but because of their status, they did not dare to enter the imperial study without permission.
He could only rush to inform the emperor.
The imperial study was empty and very quiet.
Luo Qinghan glanced over and quickly saw the painting of thousands of horses hanging on the wall.
He strode over, grabbed the scroll and pulled it hard.
With a loud bang, the painting of thousands of horses was forcibly removed, revealing a carved wooden wall.
He threw away the scroll and reached out to feel the wall.
He felt a small round hole.
Press it.
A small wooden box then appeared on the wall.
He opened the wooden box and found a neatly folded piece of cloth lying quietly inside.
He stretched out his trembling fingers, trying to pick up the cloth.
The emperor suddenly walked in and scolded loudly.
"What are you doing?!"
Luo Qinghan paused.
The emperor looked at the painting of thousands of horses thrown on the ground, then looked at the wooden box that had been opened, and his face immediately sank.
"You broke into the Imperial Study without my permission. Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?!"
Luo Qinghan ignored his anger, picked up the piece of cloth in the wooden box, and asked in a trembling voice: "Father, may I ask what is this?"
The emperor said angrily, "You rummaged through my things and even dared to ask what this is? You are so bold! Why don't you put that thing back?!"
Luo Qinghan's eyes were getting redder and redder: "I just want to ask one question, is this an imperial edict to depose the crown prince?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then denied it: "Of course not!"
"Then what is this?"
The emperor did not answer, looking somewhat unnatural.
Luo Qinghan stopped asking questions and directly unfolded the cloth in his hand.
There were a few lines of black words written on the white cloth.
He read all the content at a glance, and his expression suddenly became extremely bleak.
This was indeed an edict to depose the crown prince. Judging from the handwriting, it seemed to be written by the emperor himself, but it was not stamped with the imperial seal.
Luo Qinghan's fingers, which were pinching the cloth, were trembling slightly, his knuckles were faintly white, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
The emperor never imagined that the prince would know the existence of this edict.
Things happened too suddenly, and for a moment the emperor didn't know how to deal with the matter. He could only try his best to divert the focus.
"Why did you suddenly come to the imperial study? Did someone tell you something?"
Luo Qinghan was like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation.
Now he couldn't care about anything.
He desperately needed to find a way out.
He raised the cloth in his hand, his voice trembling uncomfortably.
"Why do you want to depose the crown prince? What on earth did I do to displease you that made you think of deposing the crown prince?!"
Even though the emperor knew he was wrong, he was still irritated by the prince's questioning attitude.
The emperor frowned, very dissatisfied.
"What's your attitude? I am the emperor, your father. Do I need to report to you about what I want to do?!"
The word "father" was like a knife, piercing through the last bit of Luo Qinghan's sanity.
He suddenly raised his voice and roared.
"You are not my father at all!"
The emperor was stunned by his roar.
The emperor took a long time to come back to his senses and asked in shock.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Luo Qinghan's eyes were red, and tears were flashing in the corners of his eyes: "The reason you want to depose the prince is because I am not your biological son?!"
