Prison prison.

Although the Seventh Prince was convicted and imprisoned, his status was different after all, so the cell he lived in was considered clean.

A very narrow square window on the wall, a narrow bamboo bed covered with old quilts, a low table, and two stools are all there is.

When the messenger came in, the Seventh Prince was sitting on a stool with his eyes closed and resting his mind. He only opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, little brother. I'll give you some thought and drink some good wine. I'll have a few words with His Royal Highness, and I won't let you wait here." The visitor said in a low voice.

While talking, he took out a heavy purse from his arms and stuffed it.

The jailer weighed the things in his hands, and immediately showed a slight smile on his face, and immediately waved his hands.

"Go, go, don't stay in there for too long."

"Yes, yes, you have worked hard." The man nodded hurriedly.

After the jailer was sent away, he entered the cell with the food box.

In fact, in the past few days, the evidence of his collusion with King Yu was laid out one after another, and he was already a little desperate.

Shunxi nodded, got up and put the food box on the table, and said in a low voice while taking things out.

"Father has crushed the evidence?" The Seventh Prince's eyes darkened, but his heart was still uneasy.

"Father, don't get angry and hurt yourself. The seventh brother is young, and he has grown up too fast in the past few years. Hearing about the injury of the third brother, it is inevitable that he has some self-promise, but this matter did not happen after all. It has become a catastrophe, and the envoy of Yanhu will arrive in Bianjing in half a month to discuss the peace talks between the two countries, so why not give him another chance?"

The seventh prince has already recognized the person in front of him, he is the apprentice of King Chen's personal servant, an eunuch named Shunxi.

But Emperor Jianning was so angry that he grabbed the teacup and threw it out, unable to appease his anger at all.

The Seventh Prince understood, and uncovered that layer, and there was a letter inside, so he took it out to read immediately.

"Grandpa Huang, don't be angry. If you burn your hands, it won't hurt if your grandson blows to you."

In the imperial study room, Prince Chen asked Emperor Jianning to intercede in a low voice.

Originally, he had no affection for Xu Sini, the first wife, the Seventh Prince, but when he received a letter from Xu Sini today, thinking that this woman was pregnant with his child and still worried about him, he really developed some friendship.

He knew very well how Emperor Jianning came to the throne, so if he did this, if he was found out, he would end badly.

"I was injured in my left eye. Although I am not blind, I will be ill for the rest of my life. In addition, the wound on my face is too deep, and it will definitely leave a scar."

Pursing his lips, the Seventh Prince still raised his eyes and asked.

As soon as these words were said, the Seventh Prince immediately understood in his heart.

Shunxi saluted respectfully, watched the Seventh Prince finish eating, and then left the Ministry of Punishment quietly.

"The fourth prince has been a little restless recently. He has been reprimanded by the emperor and banned from the palace. King Jin has no chance to rule. Your Highness, don't give up. Now you are the only person the emperor can entrust to the country."

Immediately afterwards, Shunxi said again.

So when this kind of speech spread out all over the brain, it actually triggered Emperor Jianning's rebellious heart, and became more angry for a while.

At this moment, Xiao Shizi, who was kneeling on the ground, secretly glanced at him, then slowly got up, and carefully moved to Emperor Jianning's side, held Emperor Jianning's hand with his own little hand, and blew gently.

It's just that people are not easily willing to give up the hope of life.

It is said that the reason why Emperor Jianning has not issued an order to deal with the crimes of the Seventh Prince for so long is because of this concern.

Shunxi cupped his hands, "The lord and your highness are brothers, so you are desperate to plan for your highness. The principle is that we will live and die together, and we will share happiness and hardship together, but the lord and your highness are not alone, and there are countless relationships behind it, such as the queen. The empress, the Xu family, and the concubine and the child in her womb, the prince must first protect himself before he can protect others."

"It's your business. The prince has tried his best to turn things around in front of the court and the emperor, but now it is of little use."

The general idea is that the mud of the fourth prince cannot support the wall, and because of physical injuries, King Chen and King Jin are not allowed to inherit the throne according to the royal rules. After calculation, only the seventh prince is left. Sin, but now Emperor Jianning has no choice but to release the Seventh Prince sooner or later.

In the following period of time, some fragmentary words spread from the court and even the public.

Although he was defeated now, he didn't want to hurt his only flesh and blood.

After hearing this, the Seventh Prince's eyes once again ignited hope.

"Prince Jin, how is he?"

He never thought that it was written by Xu Sini, so his hands froze slightly for a moment.

In fact, Emperor Jianning was indeed reluctant to let go because of this point, but he just hesitated a little, and was still annoyed at the Seventh Prince's behavior.

"Give him another chance?! Didn't I give him a chance? Before the incident happened earlier, I had already asked someone to investigate and reminded me, but how did he do it? He felt that he had nothing to fear ! I feel that the chair under me cannot be sat by others, so I have to let him sit on it!"

"It's what it is." The Seventh Prince raised his eyes, "Don't be a fool when you talk."

"Tell me." The Seventh Prince said immediately.

Even if it is not for the love of the husband and wife, it is also for the children.

Hearing this, Shunxi made it difficult for her to continue speaking.

"Brother Chen Wang asked you to come?"

The reason why he chose to start a riot at the beginning was because he wanted to strike first.

Shunxi observed his expression silently, and spoke in a low voice at the right time.

"Go back and tell Brother Chen Wang to reassure him, I know the severity."

But when he said this, Emperor Jianning was even more annoyed.

"You just wait quietly, the prince will arrange someone to plan for you in the court, but there is one thing."

"The slave is born outside, so it's not easy for people to notice. The prince sent the slave here to give something to your Highness."

It was telling him that no matter what, there must be someone between him and Prince Chen who stays clean. If he dragged Prince Chen into the water, more people would be implicated, especially Xu Sini.

Shunxi nodded, "Prince Yu killed himself, and many secrets have been leaked. Otherwise, the emperor will not fail to summon you after His Highness has been in the Ministry of Punishment for so long."

The Seventh Prince knows this.

"The servant kowtowed to His Royal Highness Seventh."

Shunxi replied with lowered eyes.

Such remarks spread to the palace, and even some palace people talked about it in private.

"Father calm down!"

At this time, King Chen brought his son into the palace to greet Emperor Jianning.

After reading it, his brows unconsciously frowned again.

The meeting was very affectionate, and Emperor Jianning was unwilling to summon him for questioning in person, which showed that he was angry and disappointed.

Chen Wang showed panic, and hurriedly knelt down.

Silently sizing up the Seventh Prince's expression, he said again.

The Seventh Prince clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily.

As he spoke, he pointed to the bottom layer of the food box.

"The princess is thinking about you, but don't worry, although the prince's ability is limited, he can still take care of one or two in the mansion. The princess's food and clothing will not be too short, that is."

The five-year-old child looked so innocent, and there was still a bit of fear in his black grape-like eyes, but his small body still moved closer.

Chen Wang hurriedly called him, "Don't be rude, Xiaoer!"

"It's okay." Emperor Jianning raised his hand to stop King Jin, and pulled his little grandson to him. After scrutinizing him for a moment, he suddenly smiled, "This kid is just like you when you were young, smart."

Paused, then suddenly said, "Better than the old seven."

Hearing the last sentence, a gleam of light flashed quickly in the drooping eyes of Prince Chen, and immediately became panicked, and hurriedly bent over and kowtowed.

With these words, he knew that his plan was about to be completed.
