Chapter 131: Summer Vacation (Update 1)
Zhao Hanguang's heart skipped a beat and he immediately realized that the other party was coming for the second prince.
He hung his head, his throat tight: "I don't know."
The jailer narrowed his eyes: "You really don't know?"
Zhao Hanguang smiled bitterly: "I am of low rank and my words have no weight, how can I get involved in such a matter?"
The jailer raised his chin towards the person standing behind Zhao Hanguang.
Zhao Hanguang couldn't see anything and could only rely on his hearing to make out everything that was happening around him.
He heard the cold sound of iron colliding, and then someone walked up to him.
An inexplicable chill crept up my spine.
"It seems that Lord Zhao is confused and can't even remember what happened three years ago. In this case, I don't mind helping Lord Zhao recall what happened the night before General Huo left Beijing?"
Zhao Hanguang looked up suddenly!
However, the next moment he realized that his reaction was too strange, and he lowered his head in panic.
"I don't know, I really don't know! General Huo is a powerful figure, and he volunteered to go to the battle. Who could have known what would happen later—"
The cold sharp object pressed against his neck, and Zhao Hanguang's voice came to an abrupt end.
He suppressed his frantic heartbeat and spoke with difficulty: "...I really don't know. Even if I die here today, I still won't know!"
"you--"
The jailer turned his wrist and was about to take action when he suddenly heard the sound of slow applause behind him.
A cold and deep voice sounded in the dark and cramped cell.
"Lord Zhao is devoted to his master and loyal. He is truly admirable."
Zhao Hanguang suddenly froze!
His lips trembled slightly. This voice, this voice...
“Chen, Chen Yanchuan!?”
He had just guessed that besides the jailer who was interrogating him, there must be other people here. He thought of countless possibilities, but missed this one!
Shen Yanchuan signaled the jailer to remove the cloth covering Zhao Hanguang's eyes.
Zhao Hanguang subconsciously looked over there.
A refined and noble face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly, except for the pair of deep eyes, which were as indifferent and calm as a deep pool and difficult to fathom.
——It was actually Chen Yanchuan!
Did he already know - No! There's no way he could know that!
But, but...why did he appear here and directly reveal his identity! ?
He used lynching in the prison and even asked that question directly just now... Is Chen Yanchuan really fearless? ?
Zhao Hanguang broke out in cold sweat on his back.
If he didn't know that the person coming was Chen Yanchuan, perhaps there would be a chance of turning around, but now... He knew too well that the more a person knew, the more dangerous it would be!
Chen Yanchuan smiled faintly and said, "However, it is hard to say whether your master will appreciate Lord Zhao's sincerity."
Zhao Hanguang felt disappointed, because Shen Yanchuan clearly knew the relationship between him and the second prince!
He wanted to defend himself, but felt that it was futile to say anything, so he could only bite the bullet and explain: "Please forgive my ignorance, I really don't know what the prince means."
There was no wave of excitement in Shen Yanchuan's dark eyes.
"This prince's sincerity is here, but I don't know whether Lord Zhao is willing to accept it."
…
"Master, why did you just…" Lian Zhou followed Chen Yanchuan out, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice as he walked, "They have been in the prison for a long time, and they have many tricks. They may be able to get something out of them."
They were in the most remote corner of the prison, and no one outside would know what happened there.
But the master actually revealed his identity directly.
"Those are useless to him." Chen Yanchuan said, "Xiao Chengxuan has been very kind to him. Even if he dies, he will not say a word against Xiao Chengxuan."
Zhao Hanguang is a cautious person by nature, sometimes even too rigid. If he really died here today, he might feel that he should die for his friends and uphold justice.
"The one who wants him dead the most right now is Xiao Chengxuan. The more this is the case, the more we must save his life."
Lian Zhou suddenly realized and immediately responded, "Don't worry, we have sent someone to guard it."
Chen Yanchuan nodded, and suddenly saw several gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky in the distance.
Lian Zhou followed his line of sight and looked: "That seems to be... the direction of Liuwan Lane?"
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows.
…
The fireworks at the Ye Mansion lasted most of the night.
Overnight, the Ye family's farce spread throughout the streets and alleys at an alarming speed.
Countless people were talking about this matter in the streets and alleys, all of them were beaming with joy and interest.
Princess Qinyang even came early in the morning with a carriage full of gifts. Some said it was a birthday gift for Ye Jingyan, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she came specifically to support Ye Chutang.
Looking at the servants who kept coming in and out delivering gifts, even Ye Chutang felt a little embarrassed.
"Princess, you gave too much."
"Is this a lot?" Princess Qinyang asked in surprise.
Ye Chutang: “…”
It is rumored that the King of Yannan is as rich as a country, and it seems that it is true.
Princess Qinyang leaned back lazily on the chair and said, "Isn't this just in time for your family's wedding? I don't know what you like, and I'm too lazy to choose. You can choose it yourself later."
Xiaowu immediately raised the hibiscus cake in his hand eagerly.
——Princess sister is so nice!
Princess Qinyang smiled and pinched her soft little face, teasing: "It seems that Xiaowu likes it very much? He was willing to give me the lotus cake to eat!"
Xiaowu's cheeks flushed slightly.
Seeing this, Ye Chutang stopped trying to persuade him.
Anyway, this guy is really a rich and willful person, and there is no way to persuade him.
Princess Qinyang leaned forward, looking gloating: "You know, everyone thought the Han family's place was interesting enough, but they didn't expect your place to be even more exciting! I heard that Ye Heng and his friends moved back to Fengling Lane yesterday, and they quarreled until late at night. It was very lively!"
The four members of that family are not easy to deal with.
Ye Chutang had anticipated this and helped Xiaowu tidy up his hair: "Moving is a hassle in itself, not to mention they have a family to support, so it's normal to have some trouble. But at least we are back to our original residence, which is a hundred times better than starting over in a strange place."
Princess Qinyang was startled, and then she remembered that Ye Chutang and her siblings had been on the run for the past three years, and they had suffered much more than Ye Heng's family.
In comparison, Ye Heng and the others have only received a minor lesson.
She looked at Ye Chutang's expression, but found that when Ye Chutang said these things, her expression was very calm and indifferent from beginning to end, as if those past events could not cause any ripples in her heart.
Princess Qinyang was never good at comforting people, but seeing that Ye Chutang didn't seem to need it, she simply changed the subject.
"It's been hot lately. I know a good place to escape the heat. Do you want to go?"
Ye Chutang asked casually: "Where?"
"Wulan Mountain!"
Princess Qinyang became more energetic.
"When my brother was in Beijing, he would go there every summer!"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
