Chapter 1227: Throwing the Pot

Zhang Yang sat down with his hands hugging his knees. Fortunately, he had lost weight, otherwise he would not be able to do this movement. Unfortunately, hugging his knees still could not bring him a sense of security. Hearing the sound of the door lock opening, Zhang Yang's eyes were panicked.

Eunuch Liu came in with a tray, "Drink it."

Zhang Yang shook his head desperately, "No, I don't want to drink, I don't want to die. I, at that time, wanted to take down the Zhang family and let the prince succeed to the throne. Yes, that's it, I have made a contribution."

Eunuch Liu was disgusted by Zhang Yang's shamelessness. The prince intended to lock Zhang Yang up until the poison took effect, and let Zhang Yang slowly feel the approach of death.

But the emperor did not want Zhang Yang to die so easily because Zhang Yang had injured King Liang. He could also see clearly at the time that Zhang Yang wanted to kill King Liang.

How could the emperor let go of the revenge for his son's murder so easily?

Eunuch Liu said, "This is the antidote. Drink it and you will be alive."

Zhang Yang's pupils shrank, "You didn't lie to me?"

"You don't have to believe it."

Zhang Yangteng stood up and grabbed the antidote, and drank it for fear that Eunuch Liu would regret it.

Eunuch Liu smiled. He was old, and because he was a eunuch, and the dark cell, his smile seemed even more bizarre. "I forgot to say that this hand can relieve one-third of the pressure."

Zhang Yang's pupils constricted. "What will happen if I use one-third of the antidote?"

Eunuch Liu laughed sharply, "One third of the antidote, you will be alive, but the poison will not be solved, this is not a pleasant feeling."

You won't live long, and the extended life is limited. The poison remains in your body, and that's not a pleasant feeling.

The jailer could hear the sound of banging on the door and roaring, but unfortunately it soon died down and Zhang Yang still did not have the courage to commit suicide.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Although these three days did not appease the fear of the people in the capital, the capital had already regained its former prosperity.

The closer Rongchuan got to the capital, the more uneasy he became, and he had an urge to run away.

When they arrived at the city gate of the capital, people were already waiting there. The Prince of Qi rode on his horse and played with the fan in his hand in various ways.

The King of Qi drove the horse, "Fifth brother, you finally returned to the capital, everyone is waiting for you!"

Rongchuan swallowed his saliva. He felt the malice of King Qi.

General Hou stared, suspecting that he had misheard, and turned his head to the side, "The King of Qi called you the fifth brother?"

Rong Chuan laughed dryly, "Isn't that right?"

Prince Qi smiled and said, "Don't say should. Remove the should. I didn't call him wrong. This is my younger brother, the fifth prince, and my father's second son."

General Hou didn't know much about what happened in the capital. He rushed back and was completely confused. Now he finally understood why the emperor asked him to keep an eye on Prince Ning. No, it should be the fifth prince.

General Hou said dryly, "I finally understand where your confidence comes from."

The emperor is Rongchuan's father, and the next emperor is his brother. No wonder he dares to take on the affairs of the foreigners.

Prince Qi said to General Hou, "My father asked me to take charge of these foreigners."

General Hou had sent the news back to the capital long ago. Now someone has taken over and knows that the emperor has approved of the fifth prince's crime. "Originally, they wanted to destroy the ointment on the island, but then they thought that this was evidence, so they transported it all back."

King Qi had already seen the trucks and took a breath, "So many?"

General Hou's face was not good either. "There are many smugglers every year."

Prince Qi nodded and signaled the people behind him to take over. Prince Qi did not leave, but pulled Rongchuan, "Father's order, you can enter the palace now."

Rongchuan took a deep breath and realized that he couldn't hide anymore.

Zhou Shuren already knew the news that Rongchuan had come to Beijing, but unfortunately he was too busy and had no chance to go to the palace to watch the show. He sighed with regret.

Ning Zhiqi, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Shuren, "I want to enter the palace."

Ning Zhiqi, "?"

Zhou Shuren indicated that it was all right, and continued to explain, "The confiscated antiques and other items will be handed over to your Ministry of Commerce in the future, and you will draft a new charter."

Ning Zhiqi, "Yes."

In the imperial palace, Rongchuan entered the palace nervously. As soon as he arrived at the government hall, he was greeted by a board and the smiling and smiling eunuch Liu.

Although Eunuch Liu had no idea how scary his smile was.

General Hou, "???"

This result is somewhat unexpected.

Eunuch Liu held out his hand, "Fifth Prince, please."

Rong Chuan wanted to make one last effort, and shouted, "Father, I have my reasons, and I have also made contributions."

Unfortunately, the palace was silent. The Emperor and the Crown Prince seemed to be deaf and did not react at all.

General Hou was extremely embarrassed. He didn't know whether to stay and watch the Fifth Prince being beaten or to go into the palace.

Fortunately, Eunuch Liu did not ignore General Hou, "General, the emperor is waiting for you in the palace."

Seeing the Fifth Prince being held down and about to be beaten with a stick, General Hou felt relieved. The last bit of discomfort from being intimidated at sea finally dissipated.

Eunuch Liu, "The emperor has ordered ten strokes of the cane."

It was common for Rongchuan to be beaten when he was a child. Since he came to the Zhou family, he has not been beaten and has even forgotten what it feels like to be beaten. He was beaten with one stick after another.

Rongchuan couldn't help crying. It hurt so much.

The emperor was walking back and forth in the palace. "Why is there no sound?"

The prince thought to himself, "You didn't fight for your dignity when you should have, so why are you fighting for it now? You're shouting, where is your intelligence? If you cry out loud, the emperor will surely be soft-hearted."

Rongchuan counted five strokes of the board, and then heard, "Stop it, my lord."

Rong Chuan turned his head, feeling extremely aggrieved, "Mother."

The queen was distressed and asked her female official to find the imperial physician. Then, when she saw that her son was not seriously injured, she rushed into the palace.

"You are crazy. You actually hit Rongchuan. If you don't tell me a reason, I will never forgive you."

The words reached the ears of the emperor and others in the palace before the person arrived.

The emperor froze, turned his head and asked the prince, "You didn't tell your mother?"

Prince, ".My son is too busy."

What I mean is, Father, you are obviously a person with a lot of free time, why didn’t you explain it clearly to Mother?

General Hou was silent. He regretted entering the hall. As an extra person, General Hou tactfully retreated.

The Queen was furious. She was really angry this time. Now that there were no enemies, she felt that the Emperor was making himself uncomfortable.

The emperor came back to his senses, and the prince also withdrew, sneering in his heart, "Listen to me, this is what happened."

The Queen's anger subsided after hearing this, and then she glared, "Rongchuan is young and unstable, you think it's simple. You can educate him, but beating him like this will only make him worse."

The Emperor saw that the Empress's anger had subsided, and he said secretly, "This is all the Prince's idea. He said it was to teach Rong Chuan a lesson, so that he wouldn't become more daring in the future and cause people to worry."

The Emperor secretly glanced at the Empress's face and continued, "I refused at first. How could this old man fight? I was so distressed that I couldn't wait to do it. But then the Crown Prince said that Rongchuan would also be crowned a king, and the Crown Prince would be the next emperor, so I had to be more careful with the Crown Prince."

The prince didn't go far, he was at the door of the study, "."
