After several turns in the carriage, Su Junning and Fang Shi were locked in a room with no windows on all sides.

Perhaps it was because of the lack of light, although the room was empty, there was still an unpleasant damp musty smell.

"Go in." The soldier gave Fang a rough push.

Su Junning quickly supported the man, and gave him a hard look.

"My sister-in-law is pregnant. Since your master invited us to wait here, he must have ordered us not to have any accidents. This place is damp and cold, and there is no place to rest. If something happened to my tired sister, I'm afraid you are not good. Let's make a deal."

After she said this, the soldier who pushed them hesitated a little, and turned to look at the boss behind him.

The person in charge thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Go and bring two chairs."

Not long after, two stools were brought over, and then the door of the room was closed.

There was only one piece of red wax left in the house.

Su Junning first helped Fang to sit down, and then held up a candle to check around.

There are no windows and no organs in the room. It is really empty except for them.

"Sister-in-law, you are still in good health, is there any discomfort?"

After observing the environment, Su Junning returned to the chair and started to care about Fang's situation.

"I'm fine." Fang shook her head, but there was still a bit of fear on her face, "Prince Chen dared to forcefully break into Yushi's mansion to arrest us, it must be tonight."

Fang didn't dare to say the latter words, but she was already feeling flustered by holding Su Junning's hand tightly.

That's right, Emperor Jianning couldn't afford to be sick, and Bianjing City was completely under the control of King Chen. Since he dared to arrest people blatantly, he must have done something more terrifying than this.

palace changes.

Apart from this matter, Su Junning couldn't think of anything else.

Then why did they catch them?

For a moment, Su Junning thought of Shen Qianwei.

Right now, the troops in Bianjing city, the city defense battalion and the Bianjing guards are all from King Chen, and half of the military camps on the outskirts of the city are from King Chen, and half are from the subordinates of Emperor Jianning, that is, from the Shen family.

Chen Wang arrested her, probably to threaten Shen Qianwei with her when necessary.

So, Chen Wang knew that Shen Qianwei was not dead, or guessed?

People who can reach this position are naturally suspicious, but just in case, they will definitely do everything right.

Su Junning's back tightened, and she felt a deep fear of everything unknown tonight.

Compared with the other princes, Prince Chen's methods have always been more ruthless and neat, she really doesn't know who will win this round.

Taking a deep breath, he patted the back of Fang's hand.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. As long as we stay here steadfastly, nothing will happen. They still expect to use us as bargaining chips."

Fang nodded slightly trembling, holding her with one hand, and tightly covering her lower abdomen with the other.

Su Junning could only try her best to calm her emotions, and was always alert to the movement outside.

At the same time, in Princess Chen's room, the ladies who had been imprisoned for a long time were a little flustered.

Some of the wives whose husbands had been on good terms with Chen Wang began to talk to Chen Wang's concubine Yang, but all the replies they got were asking them to wait here.

"Today is the day of great joy between me and the prince. The prince must have a few more words with the adults and drink a few more glasses of wine. Ladies, don't worry, let's take a rest here and wait for your husbands to accompany the prince. Once you're done, you can leave."

Things have developed to the present, as long as they are not stupid to the end, they have already guessed what Prince Chen wants to do.

He was panicked for a moment, silently praying that the husband outside could save his life.

However, there are also people who have no hope for life, such as Cui Shi.

After all, she knew that her husband would never do treasonous things with Prince Chen, but that also meant that she might die here.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the door.

Then a eunuch came in and whispered something in Yang's ear.

After the man left, Yang's gaze scanned all the people in the room, and then asked with a smile, "I wonder who is the wife of Mr. Chen, the editor of Hongzhang Pavilion?"

As soon as the words fell, a slender woman in a royal blue dress stood out from the crowd.

His eyebrows are sparse, and he looks quite a bit of arrogance of a literati.

"The courtier's wife has seen the princess."

Yang Shi nodded, "Madam, come here."

The woman paused for a moment, and then slowly stepped forward with a look of doubt.

Just when everyone thought she was about to be let go, they suddenly saw Mrs. Yang raised his hand to hold the knife, and ruthlessly pushed the sharp blade into the woman's heart.

Painful groans overflowed from the mouth of the fallen woman accompanied by blood froth. She twitched a few times before she lost her breath. After she died, her eyes widened, her face full of fear and disbelief.

With a calm face, Yang leaned over and drew out the knife, and wiped it carefully with a handkerchief.

"You ladies have also seen it. I don't mind adding more color to the house on the day of great joy. This Mrs. Chen's husband must not be in line with the prince's wishes. Tsk. It's a pity, how young he is."

After smacking her lips, Yang smiled brightly again, and walked back and forth in front of everyone holding a wide skirt.

"I will also give you another chance to allow you to write and pass out the letter. If you can change your husband's mind and obey the prince, your lives will naturally be saved."

When she said this, Yang's eyes swept over Cui's body.

This is obviously a reminder.

Soon, there were papers and pens brought by the maids, and most of the ladies in the room were in a mess, without the slightest nobility of the past.

Surrounded by the crowd, Cui took out a pen and paper, her face pale.

And in the palace at that time, Emperor Jianning was also facing the pen and paper with a pale face.

"Father, my son's move is also for the sake of your health. You are sick and bedridden. If you are always entangled in government affairs, when will you be able to take care of your body?"

Chen Wang's face was full of concern, but his eyes were cold and dark.

Pushed the inkstone that had already been ground ink forward, as if to comfort him.

"Father, don't worry, your son was trained by you, and you will definitely do your best to teach Xiao'er and help him become a good monarch. You should go to the palace to take care of your health."

"Rebel!"

With a pale face, Emperor Jianning grabbed the inkstone and smashed it hard.

The guards around Prince Chen immediately blocked him without hurting him at all.

On the contrary, Emperor Jianning coughed violently because of his anger, and at the end of the cough, he spit out a mouthful of dark red blood.

Falling on the blank imperial decree, it looks extraordinarily glaring.

"Father, calm down."

Chen Wang still looked calm and calm, he waved his hand, and someone immediately sent a new blank imperial decree.

"Father, the medicine is three-point poisonous. Your illness has been lingering for several months, and the three-point poison has become seventy percent. Why bother yourself? In order to make you happy, this big wedding is also held. Anyway, you should do something for my son."

Emperor Jianning struggled to support his body, the veins on his forehead and neck bulged, his face turned red and purple.

"You, you dare to tamper with my medicine. No wonder I haven't healed for a long time. I have already made Xiao'er a grandson. Why are you not satisfied!"

"This question should be asked by the emperor!"

Chen Wang suddenly raised his voice, and his eyes sharpened suddenly, like a poisonous snake showing its fangs, making people terrified.

"Father, you are going to pass on the throne to your grandson, why can't you tolerate your sons and ministers? No sons and ministers are already destined for the throne, and you want some rights, can't you? Old man, instead of letting the foreign ministers take power, why not let the sons come!"
