The soft beauty is very good at flirting, and the soul of the ascetic prince is floating

"Master, what do you want to do? I'm sure I'll do whatever it takes to do it." Gu Liufu said with a serious look on his face.

Gu Wanyu shook her head and laughed, "Of course I know your loyalty, but that's it, you go ahead and do it first. It's good if you don't alarm anyone."

"Yes." Gu Liufu quietly retreated.

She was the only one left in the room,

He raised his hand and caressed his chest gently, and then tightened his grip on the jade pendant around his waist.

He raised his eyes and looked at the endless glow in the distance, and murmured softly, "This is the last step left."

On the other side, after the decree is issued,

Song Jingzhang took only Zhao Youzheng with him, avoiding all the spies, and came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

In an instant, there was a continuous sound of salutes and greetings.

Song Jingzhang winked at Zhao Youzheng,

Zhao Youzheng immediately understood and asked, "Where is the former Marquis Yong'an imprisoned now?"

"Hui Ye, I'm at Tianzi No. 1."

"I reward you with tea. I think you know what you should say and what you shouldn't say." Zhao Youzheng threw a purse over.

"Yes, yes, I understand." The prison head nodded and bowed to accept the reward.

The people who were greeting the guests with profuse thanks left, leaving only two gatekeepers to look out for the wind.

Song Jingzhang glanced casually, then stepped into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

In a dark and humid environment, mice sneak by from time to time,

Occasionally there was the sound of blood or water dripping.

There were even a few faint screams occasionally.

All of them reveal the harsh environment here and the cruelty of the punishment.

At this time, when the value was changing, Zhao Youzheng sent people out again.

Criminals who are incarcerated and need to be tortured can also get a moment of respite.

Song Jingzhang took a leisurely stroll and came to Tianzi No. 1 cell.

In the cell, the former dignified and glorious Marquis Jiangling of Yong'an,

Now he is only wearing a prison uniform, his hair is disheveled, he looks haggard, and he is sitting slumped in the corner with his back.

Although there were no traces of being whipped on his body, he still looked very miserable.

Perhaps he noticed the sound, Jiang Ling turned slightly sideways, opened his eyelids and took a look,

Then he closed his eyes indifferently and continued to sit down and fall asleep.

Zhao Youzheng saw this and opened his mouth, wanting to scold him.

Song Jingzhang stretched out his hand to stop him, glanced at Jiang Ling with disdain, and shouted softly,

"Marquis Yong'an."

Jiang Ling still didn't open his eyes and only said in a hoarse voice, "The guilty minister is now wearing a guilty body, but he cannot be worthy of the title of Yong'an Marquis by His Highness King Yong."

Song Jingzhang snorted lightly,

"The loyalty of Marquis Yong'an is admired by me, so I can certainly take the position, but..."

After a pause,

His eyes fell on Jiang Ling's closed eyes, then he looked away calmly and continued:

"It's a pity that this loyalty has been used in the wrong place. In order to protect themselves, my two royal brothers decisively abandoned their carriages to protect their commanders. They reported to my father that it was you nobles who instigated this,"

Speaking of which,

Song Jingzhang thought again of Song Jingxing's hypocrite face in the main hall just now.

There was a trace of disgust in his eyes, and his tone of voice was slightly raised,

"You don't know yet, Marquis Yong'an. Your father has ordered you to be beheaded in public. All the men in the Marquis Yong'an's house will be beheaded, and all the women and children will be exiled."

Jiang Ling opened his eyes, met Song Jingzhang's gaze, and spoke, still trying his best to remain calm.

"Your Highness is here just to say these things, then Your Highness can be invited back."

"Bah bang bang!" Song Jingzhang slapped his palms together with undisguised praise in his tone.

"If you talk about what I admire the most about Marquis Yong'an, there is nothing more than your way of doing things without changing your expression even when the mountains are falling."

"Even when I was working as an internal responder, I could bear to serve my political opponents with peace of mind. I really should let the idiots outside come here and learn from me."

The forced indifference on Jiang Ling's face finally showed a crack, and it returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness has given you the award. In fact, the guilty minister was also very optimistic about Your Highness. Your strategy, culture, and martial arts are not bad at all, and you are also a wise master."

"It's a pity that the virtuous concubine was only born as a maidservant in coats. She is too lowly and not as good as a legitimate descendant. In the end, she will not be able to stand on the stage."

"The guilty minister advises you to stop as soon as possible, lest you fail in the future and be ridiculed by the world in vain."

At the mention of Concubine Xian, Song Jingzhang's eyes suddenly narrowed and his face turned gloomy.

Zhao Youzheng immediately stepped forward and said, "Bah, you are about to die. You have done something shameful and shameless. You don't want to show off your shame, and you don't even regret it. You dare to make up for our master and your mother-in-law. If you are brave, I will do it for you." I will teach you a lesson."

With that said, he opened the cell door with the key given by the prison head.

He picked up a stick and directly dragged Jiang Ling up, who was handcuffed and unable to move.

He raised his legs, put them on the wall, and knocked them down with a stick, breaking his legs.

"Ah!" Jiang Ling screamed,

Then he raised his smile with great effort and looked sideways at Song Jingzhang.

"His Highness is so angry that he is so embarrassed. It's a pity that everything the guilty minister said is the truth. Everything else can be changed, but one cannot fake his birth background."

"How could the emperor let a prince born from a maidservant in Huanyi ascend to the throne? The guilty minister... ah!"

Zhao Youzheng saw that he dared to speak rudely, so he immediately broke his other leg.

Song Jingzhang just looked at it lightly.

He had heard what Jiang Ling said countless times, and he couldn't make any more waves in his heart.

I just wanted to teach him a lesson for being rude to his mother and concubine, so I didn't stop Zhao Youzheng's actions.

Now I see that Jiang Ling thought he had poked his painful foot, and even though he endured the severe pain in his body, he was still chattering.

I couldn't help but sneer,

"I'm afraid that Marquis Yong'an may have thought wrongly. The second emperor brother is a direct descendant. My father has also made it clear that the second prince is mediocre in nature, cunning and arrogant. He relies on the direct descendants of the middle palace to communicate with eunuchs and play power. It's true. It’s useless. It’s impossible for him to rise to power.”

"Impossible!" Jiang Ling exclaimed, ignoring the pain.

"How could it be possible for the emperor? His Highness is obviously orthodox and the person most qualified to inherit the throne. How could it be possible for the emperor? It's impossible, it's impossible..."

Song Jingzhang put his hand behind his back and rubbed the ring on his hand twice. Suddenly he felt bored.

Before, he didn't understand why Jiang Ling was so loyal to Song Jingxing, even if it meant life or death, he would forget about it.

But now I understand, it turns out that I only value the identity of the direct descendant of the palace.

Regardless of ability, strategy or ambition,

It was in vain that he thought Jiang Ling was of average character but still capable.

Looking at it now,

After all, he is just a mediocre person who cannot be seen clearly.

Song Jingzhang's desire to be bored no longer attracted Zhao Youzheng, and he turned around and strode away.

Jiang Ling was left alone, still holding the cell door and shouting——

"Succeed as a king and lose as a bandit. The guilty minister and His Highness are like this one day. In the future, Your Highness may not be in a better position than the guilty minister."

"I'm just going first and waiting for you Song Jingzhang in front! Waiting for you!"

"Hahahahaha!"
