912. Chapter 912 Are You Not Tempted?
Xiliang Palace seems to be shrouded in white. From a distance, it looks like an ice sculpture palace. The sunlight reflects the colorful colors. It looks sacred and spectacular. If it were not surrounded by the minions of the Priest Palace, Ye Zhen thinks she would appreciate it very much. Beautiful view.
"You guys stay away." Huangfu Chen said to Wuming calmly.
Wuming glanced at them and motioned for the others to take a few steps back and follow them at a short distance.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Qi Ruoshui is still very afraid of you."
Huangfuchen raised his eyes and looked at the palace in the distance, "She is just afraid of my last name."
"Have you seen Xi'er?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Qi Ruoshui promised to keep him by my side." Huangfuchen said lightly, "Xi'er doesn't know his life experience yet, and Qi Ruoshui promised to keep it from him."
It was best for him to keep Qi Zixi's life experience secret.
Ye Zhen nodded gently, "Master, can you... help me with something."
Huangfuchen felt a bitter taste in his heart as he listened to her polite and nervous questions, "What's the matter?"
"It will be dangerous for Shanshan to stay here, can you send her away first?" Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
Jin Shanshan, who was walking beside Ye Zhen, frowned when he heard this and said, "Empress?"
Ye Zhen raised her hand to tell Jin Shanshan not to say any more. She continued to say to Huangfu Chen, "If Shanshan stays here, Qi Ruoshui will use her safety to threaten me. But if she leaves here, I will feel more relaxed."
Huangfu Chen glanced at Jin Shanshan indifferently, "Qi Ruoshui arranges many people around me, unless it is good for her..."
"That's right. She seems to be more wary of you." Ye Zhen sighed with a wry smile. If Huangfu Chen could let Jin Shanshan leave, then he could leave here himself.
"I heard that the Zuo Guardian of the Priest Hall was arrested by General Ye?" Huangfu Chen asked.
"Liuchen? If she hasn't come back by now, she must have been arrested." Ye Zhen said.
Huangfu Chen nodded lightly, "Qi Ruoshui values her two guardians very much. If she wants to let Jin Shanshan go, she must let Liu Chen come back."
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded without hesitation. She knew Wuming could hear what she and Huangfu Chen said, and she wanted him to know on purpose.
"What's in front of you?" Huangfuchen pointed to a cage-like palace in front of him.
Yes, it looks like a palace from a distance, but when you look closer, it is indeed a cage. It is a very large cage, covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, hanging down from the cold, and exuding a crystal luster in the sun.
"This is a prison in the palace, specially used to imprison princes and ministers who have made mistakes." Wuming said calmly behind them.
Ye Zhen glanced at him in surprise, Wang Sun Gongqing? Isn't it too humiliating to be locked up in this place?
"There's someone inside." Jin Shanshan exclaimed in shock.
What? Ye Zhen looked over in surprise, and she saw a black figure wearing dark blue clothes inside the cage. The black figure was as motionless as the sculpture. She didn't know whether he was dead or frozen.
"Who is that?" Ye Zhen had a bad premonition in her heart.
Wuming said softly, "The prince who wants to rebel."
Ye Zhen approached the cage and looked at the man carefully through the railings. Only the side of the frost-covered face could be seen. She took a breath, "Wan Yanxi? He is Wan Yan Xi?"
"Wan Yanxi killed his mother and brother in order to force the palace to rebel. The Witch King locked him up here, which was already wide open." Wuming said.
"It's just..." Fart! Ye Zhen resisted to lose her composure and cursed. Wan Yanxi was framed by Qi Ruoshui. No wonder Qi Ruoshui didn't see anyone for several days. He was probably dealing with Wan Yanxi.
Huangfu Chen said coldly, "It's better to kill him than lock him here."
Wuming sneered, "Mr. Huangfu should go tell the Witch King."
"Open the door, I want to see him." Ye Zhen looked at Wuming coldly and said.
"No one can enter without the permission of the Witch King." Wuming didn't even look at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen snorted coldly, "I remember the Witch King said that I can respond to any request. This is what the Witch King promised. It seems that there is no credibility at all."
Huangfu Chen saw Ye Zhen's angry look. It seemed that she knew Wan Yanxi. He said to Wuming calmly, "That man looks dead. Even if you open the door and let us in, he can't escape."
"No one can open this prison without the permission of the Witch King." Wuming remained unmoved.
Ye Zhen said coldly, "Open the door!"
Wuming looked at Ye Zhen with an indifferent expression.
"Shanshan!" Ye Zhen stood in front of Wuming and called Jin Shanshan.
Jin Shanshan walked to the prison door with a cold expression. The iron door was locked with a very thick iron chain. If she wanted to open the door, she had to get the key to open the lock. She grabbed the iron chain with a cry and looked at Wuming's cold eyes. Pull hard.
Someone let out an exclamation.
The iron chain was broken by Jin Shanshan, and the prison door opened in response.
Ye Zhen raised her lips and smiled, "It seems I don't need you anymore."
Wuming looked at Jin Shanshan coldly, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"If you dare to hurt her even a hair, I guarantee that Qi Ruoshui will regret letting you follow today." Ye Zhen said coldly.
"Let them in." Qi Ruoshui didn't know when she arrived. She was wrapped in a mink fur cloak and walked slowly over. She looked at Huangfu Chen and Ye Zhen with smiling eyes, "Just as the Queen said , Wan Yanxi is almost dead, even if he is released, he will not survive for a few days."
Wuming took a few steps to the side without stopping Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen ignored Qi Ruoshui and turned around with Jin Shanshan to enter the prison. Huangfuchen stood by the door and looked at Qi Ruoshui indifferently.
Qi Ruoshui came to him with a smile, "Wan Yanxi killed his biological mother, and a while ago he colluded with the guilty officials to rebel. If I don't do this, there will be civil strife in Xiliang."
"I thought there was civil unrest." Huangfu Chen said calmly.
"As long as I am here, there will never be civil strife in Xiliang." Qi Ruoshui said confidently, "Look, Xiliang is much stronger today than before. Have you ever experienced that kind of aloofness that can turn over clouds with your left hand and overturn things with your right hand?" Does it taste like rain? Watching this country go further and further under your leadership, this sense of accomplishment is not so easy to get, A Chen, are you not tempted at all? "
Huangfuchen glanced at her with a chuckle, "It seems you are the one who is tempted."
"I'm here for your Huangfu family," Qi Ruoshui said.
"This is just an excuse you made for yourself." Huangfu Chen looked at her mockingly, "Admit it, Qi Ruoshui, you are not doing it for my uncle at all, but for yourself. Que Luan did not teach you other skills, but You have grown up to be an ambitious person.”
Qi Ruoshui didn't hear what Huangfuchen said, her attention was attracted by Ye Zhen inside the prison.
She was saving Wan Yanxi.
