The prison warden, surnamed Gu, stopped abruptly upon hearing Li Heng's words.
"what you up to?"
He then added, "I would never do something bad for you against my conscience."
Li Heng smiled faintly, "I wouldn't mind taking one more person down with me. You only have one daughter, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yucheng's expression changed drastically.
He hurried away, but returned a short while later. "What message did you want to convey?"
yes.
He only had one daughter in his life, whom he cherished dearly.
The matter in Mingliu Lane concerns his daughter's life.
Li Heng said, "Let the Prince of Yan know that he is the real Prince of Ning."
Chengye was arrested, and the 30,000 troops he had painstakingly raised also became the government's. His grand ambitions were hopeless.
If death is inevitable, then let the royal family also suffer.
He simply couldn't believe that the Prince of Yan, after learning about his true parentage, could continue to be the prince without any resentment.
Although he didn't know why the Emperor and Empress wanted to send their son to the Prince of Yan, he didn't care.
Once the Crown Prince of Yan learns about his true parentage, he will investigate on his own, and he might even send someone to assassinate the Crown Prince.
No one doesn't want the throne, especially royal princes.
As long as the royal family remains unstable, he can consider it revenge.
Gu Yucheng's face turned even paler.
He was frightened by Li Heng's words.
At the same time, he understood Li Heng's intention: he wanted to use the Prince of Yan's heir to avenge himself.
If the Crown Prince of Yan really causes any trouble, then I, as the messenger, will also bear responsibility.
However, if he doesn't reveal it, Li Heng might just tell him his secret.
After a moment of internal struggle, he said, "Alright, I'll deliver the message, but you know I'm just a prison warden, not very capable, and it will take some time to do this."
Li Chengye is already on his way to the capital. Perhaps once he arrives, His Majesty will deal with him and his son together.
He thought he could stall for time, and prayed in his heart that Li Heng would die soon so that he would no longer be threatened.
Li Heng knew his thoughts, "If I don't hear the news of the Prince of Yan's arrival in the capital before I die, I will not keep the secret of Mingliu Lane."
In other words, not only did Prison Magistrate Gu have to deliver the message to him, but he had to do it quickly and bring the Prince of Yan's heir to the capital.
But if he really does that, will someone like Li Heng really keep his word?
Gu Yucheng returned home in a gloomy mood.
Seeing that he looked unwell, his wife asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Gu Yucheng hadn't decided whether to tell his wife, so he said it was nothing and went back to his room to lie down.
He didn't come out for dinner either, and Madam Gu became anxious when she saw this.
"What exactly happened?"
This doesn't look like anything's wrong at all.
"Tell me, are you trying to scare me to death?"
Gu Yucheng hadn't told his wife because he was afraid she would worry. Seeing her like this, he sighed heavily and decided to tell her what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's face also turned pale. "Didn't Nannan say there was no one there at the time? How could Li Heng know?"
After asking, he remembered that he had once been a high-ranking prime minister with many capable people under his command, and perhaps he had run into him back then.
Can.
"My lord, we cannot get involved in royal affairs; one wrong move and we could lose our heads."
The emperor and empress's son suddenly became the son of the Prince of Yan; there must be a big secret behind this.
Gu Yucheng sighed, "How could I not know? But what about my daughter?"
As a father, could he watch his daughter die?
Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's eyes instantly filled with tears, and she said angrily, "How could Li Heng be so wicked? He's already in death row, yet he still wants to harm people. What do you plan to do? Are you really going to send a letter to the Prince of Yan's heir?"
"Let me think about it some more."
Gu Yucheng rubbed his face, let out a long sigh, and asked, "How is Nannan today?"
Speaking of her daughter, Madam Gu's sorrow deepened, "She still won't say anything..."
She wiped away her tears, "Neither of us has ever done anything wrong in our lives, how could God be so blind?"
"What's the point of saying all that now?"
Gu Yucheng patted his wife on the shoulder, "Let's go eat. You need to be healthy to do anything."
Picking up the bowl, Madam Gu tentatively suggested, "Why don't we report it? Li Heng is from Xiyue and has committed so many evils in Dayuan. I'm worried that even if you send the letter, he might leak the secret."
This is a huge matter, something that people like us can't get involved in..."
But then she thought of her daughter and hesitated. "If we report it, we won't be able to keep my daughter's situation a secret. God, what should I do?"
While the atmosphere here was gloomy and desolate, Huo Zhan felt a sense of relief, as if he had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
He knelt for a long time last night, but Yin Jiuniang ignored him.
Since he was determined to use this trick, he didn't want to give up easily, so he knelt until the lights in Yin Jiuniang's room were turned off.
Seeing that Yin Jiuniang showed no sign of softening, he felt somewhat disappointed.
But thinking about what he had done in the past, he felt that even if he had to kneel until dawn, it was his own fault.
Because after Yin Jiuniang left a few days ago, he was worried that she had run away with Shi Yan, so he had no time to inquire about Shi Yan.
Unable to bear his pestering any longer, Shi Wuxia took him to see how normal couples get along.
After watching the brothel for a while, he finally understood why Yin Jiuniang refused to forgive her.
He used to treat Yin Jiuniang no differently than a patron would treat a prostitute; no wonder she always said she humiliated him.
But he still thought it was love.
The more I understand, the more uneasy I feel.
His parents had a bad relationship, and his father was in the military for many years, so he never saw his parents interacting when he was young.
When he was a teenager, his father died in battle. The royal family had their eyes on the Ding'an Prince's Mansion. He took over military power, and the most important thing in his life was how to protect the Ding'an Prince's Mansion without being feared by the royal family.
