To be precise, this is just a group of unkempt prisoners huddled in the corner of a wooden bed. Yes, prisoners who are almost the same as other prisoners.

Yan Li signaled the jailer to open the cell, but the jailer hesitated: "Princess, it's dirty inside."

"It doesn't matter."

"yes."

The jailer took out the key and opened the cell. Yan Li walked in silently and stood there for a while. The figure in the corner slowly raised his head as if he was aware of something.

The once gentle and elegant face was now so thin that it was shapeless. At this time, he looked at Yan Li silently, and it took him a while to recognize her: "Yan Li?"

"It's me." Yan Li smiled faintly and glanced at his blood-stained prison uniform, "Brother Four Emperors has been wronged."

Yan Jin's eyes narrowed, staring at Yan Li, and sighed softly for a while: "Are you sent by God to destroy us?"

Yan Li raised his eyebrows.

"Since you came to the Jin Kingdom, the situation of our four princes has been getting worse day by day. One after another, we have been defeated miserably by you. Sometimes I can't help but wonder, who are you? Why can you have someone else? Unimaginable ability?"

Yan Jin's voice was dry, and he spoke every word very slowly, but it was precisely because of his slowness that he could clearly hear the resentment and unwillingness in his voice.

Even though he still maintains his usual warm way of speaking, there is still clear resentment in this warmth.

Yan Li didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

"I have thought about being nice to you before, but no matter how nice I am, you, a sister who lives away from home and has no feelings for us at all, how can you compare with our brothers who depend on each other for life?" Yan Jin lowered his eyes. , the voice was much softer, "Yan Li, you can't understand the feelings between us princes at all."

Yan Li said indifferently: "I really can't understand it, and I don't intend to understand it, and I have no interest in competing with you about the brother-sister relationship."

"I only know that if someone is kind to me, I will be kind to him, if someone plots against me, I will plot against him, and if someone wants me to die, I will not sit still and wait for death."

"Cheng 뎃그——꾨 Especially Cheng 뎃그 who is in the royal family, how can he have so much true feelings?" Yan Li smiled coldly, "What you want is power, there is no need to use feelings as an excuse here."

Yan Jin's eyes were filled with shame and anger, and she finally tore off the gentle mask completely: "Why do you say that we don't have true feelings? The four of us have gone through hardships and depended on each other. How much do you know about us? You are from a foreign race. Why should the orphan girl here tell us about our feelings——"

"Be impudent!" the jailer scolded, "You must not be rude in front of the eldest princess."

Yan Jin's face was green and white, and his eyes could not suppress the shock and anger.

The noble prince was reduced to being scolded by a jailer. Although it was not uncommon in history, it still made him feel humiliated and desolate.

"If you really valued relationships so much, the four brothers would not have been dealt with one after another." Yan Li spoke calmly, as if analyzing the reasons for his failure, "Jin is your territory, and you know Jin better than There are more officials who are close to you than me. Even if it is out of consideration for their own interests, the relationship between the distinguished family members and you will be much closer than that of a newly arrived princess like me."

After a pause, Yan Li continued: "But you are not united. You are all thinking about your own interests. When Yan Zheng was dealt with, weren't you three thinking that 'the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits?'"

The state of Jin was completely corrupt from top to bottom, so it had to be governed from within.

But if the four princes join forces and manage so many forces, even if she has the thunder level, she will not be their opponent in a short time.

So talking about brotherhood at this time is simply hypocritical and ridiculous.

Yan Jin's expression changed little by little. He looked slumped and leaned weakly on the corner of the bed.

"But if you all work together, how can I get rid of those corrupt officials and dirty families so smoothly?" Yan Li mocked, "So let alone brotherly love, it's just an excuse."

Yan Jin lowered his eyes and had to admit in embarrassment that what she said was the truth.

Before she returned to the Jin Kingdom, even if the queen was regent, the four princes had their own factions. If they worked together, Yan Li, a foreign princess, would not be driven out of the Jin Kingdom, but she wanted to rely on her daughter. It is almost impossible to gain a foothold in the Jin Dynasty court. m.

But in the end, why did they fail?

I don't know how much time passed before Yan Jin spoke again: "What are you going to do with me?"

"How to deal with you is the emperor's business. I will not deal with any of you before ascending the throne."

Yan Jin fell silent again.

"Yan Jin, if it's just me you're dealing with, if you dare to be aboveboard, I'll still look down upon you." Yan Li's expression was cold, with a hint of disgust on his face, "But on the surface, you're gentle and affectionate, but behind your back, you're serious. 꿛, you did not hesitate to implicate innocent people and let so many people lose their lives. This is your unkindness, and I cannot forgive you for what you did."

Yan Jin argued: "In order to achieve your goal, Master, you should do whatever it takes."

"So I will pay you back no matter what." Yan Li asked, "When did you hook up with Prince Yan?"

Yan Jin said indifferently: "No comment."

Yan Li looked at him steadily, turned around and walked out of the cell for a moment.

The jailer quickly locked the cell door.

Yan Jin suddenly looked up at her back, as if he didn't expect that she would leave like this.

But that’s fine too.

Yan Jin laughed to himself and continued to huddle in the corner of the bed in silence.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

He, a loser, was not worth the winner's time.

Before leaving the prison, Yan Li ordered the jailer to take her to see Shen Yunniang.

Because the Fenglu case was closely related to the prince, all the prisoners were imprisoned in the prison, but because Shen Yunniang was proficient in evil magic, her cell was far away from Han Yunping and Yan Jin's.

Shen Yunniang's cell was in the innermost and most secluded place. The jailer of the prison had been ordered to leave, just in case, no one was allowed to approach Shen Yunniang.

The jailer who was responsible for delivering food to her was a mute. He left after giving her food, and Shen Yunniang's tricks were useless.

But later she had no tricks.

Because her bewitching technique needed to rely on the blood of young and beautiful women to maintain it, she lost all her blood when she arrived in Shengjing from Fenglu. After being imprisoned in the prison, she got nothing except the shabby and simple three meals a day.

When Yan Li saw her, Shen Yunniang looked old, haggard, with her black hair completely white, and her skin had lost all its luster. She looked like an old woman over fifty years old. Where was her former charm?

Even Yan Li stood outside the cell for about an incense stick of time before the jailer nodded repeatedly to confirm that this was indeed Shen Yunniang.
