Tang Mingzhen woke up with a splitting headache. There were still dark guards around him, and among the many wooden faces, there was a section of wood that was particularly familiar.
"Yueji?" Tang Mingzhen tried to call. Yueji obviously heard it, but did not make any response. Tang Mingzhen frowned, and just when he was about to shout again, his arm suddenly hurt.
When he looked down, he realized that his arms were clamped with heavy iron chains, and he was trapped in the only bed in the room in an extremely sad posture.
She looked around and found no chance of escape. The iron chain scratched her skin, and blood flowed down the iron chain. Tang Mingzhen could only bite her lip tightly and remained silent, letting the pain penetrate the sharp peripheral nerves.
I went through the cause and effect in my mind. It was impossible for Yue Ji and the secret guards to kidnap him alone. The only people who could do this were the people inside the East Palace.
"Is it the prince? Tang Ming really has a bad premonition. It seems that he is still in the prison called the East Palace, but this time the prisoner is not the prince but her. No matter how stupid she is, she can guess it
Why did the prince tie her up? She was a good weight to blackmail Shangguan Jinnian. I really don’t know who is the real idiot.
"Moon Halberd, Moon Halberd" Tang Mingzhen stared at the wooden face beside him.
"Can't you hear, this is such a good dog raised by your snotty-nosed idiot master!"
That face didn't move at all. Tang Mingzhen was a little frustrated.
"What do the idiots feed you every day? Osmanthus cake stuffed with rat tails or pumpkin rice stewed with fly legs..." Tang Mingzhen pulled at the wound, painful tears welling up in his eyes. Yueji's face was still like an iron mask.
Not moving at all.
"You damn little bitch!" Tang Mingzhen was furious. She endured the pain and used all the dirty words that Lu Xiu had used to curse the streets.
"You bastard who is pretending to be dead, you are covered in scabies... Ouch... scabies? You can't move, look at that big one on your face. What is that? It's the result of a rotten gut.
Is there a boil on your nose?"
Yue Ji's frozen face twitched unnaturally.
Tang Mingzhen declared victory "cut", and she snorted from her nose.
The noise in the inner room made Prince Li Yuting stand at the door.
He looked at it with a cold face, but was extremely surprised in his heart. He had always thought that Tang Mingzhen was just a puppet raised by Shangguan Jinnian. He would fall down when the wind blew, and he would jump if there was any pitfall.
But now she stared with unflinching eyes and spoke nonsense. There was no trace of panic or fear, which was indeed a bit troublesome.
When she saw the prince, she stared at him for an instant. Her sharp eyes seemed as if she was not the one trapped.
"Idiot!" She squeezed out two words through her teeth.
Sometimes, the most familiar names can kill people the most.
I have endured being called an idiot since I was a child, and no one is more sensitive to this word than Li Yuting.
He stepped forward with almost no hesitation and stepped hard on the spiked iron chains wrapping Tang Mingzhen's wrists.
Blood flowed down a trickling stream, and A-Zhen's clear eyes burst into tears. She bit her lip deeply with her teeth, causing blood to flow from her lip.
"Idiot? Shangguan Jinnian is the real idiot!"
The prince no longer looked like the runny-nosed fool. His eyes looked very lively, and his shoulders were very straight. He had quite a bit of the splendid demeanor of the late emperor.
He sneered, "These chains, these secret guards, and this entire East Palace were given to me by Shangguan Jinnian since he was a child. Now, I will pay back all these old and new accounts! What do you say, little princess?"
"It's retribution again," Tang Mingzhen thought with a sigh, "Shangguan Jinnian's bloody unjust debt really has to be paid back in one stroke."
But she was not soft-spoken: "You have done something wrong to yourself, pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, and what have you done to hinder Shangguan Jinnian?"
The prince did not show any anger at all, and his tone was very cold.
"If I hadn't pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool and let others take advantage of me, how could I have survived until now?" He didn't want to hide anything from Tang Mingzhen. After all, they were playmates who grew up together.
"Every day I have to pretend to be stupid and drink that highly poisonous medicine. I have to pretend to be stupid and alienate my father, emperor, mother and concubine, and also anger my most respected mentor." His tears flowed down his tired face unconsciously.
Eyes streaming down lips and cheeks.
"Ha" he raised his lips and mocked in tears: "He Shangguan Jinnian never expected that a madman and fool like me could endure this humiliation. I secretly learned those tactics and tactics at night, and Shangguan Jinnian
Whatever the annual meeting is, I will give him any tricks, ha!"
His smile became even more miserable, "He doesn't know how to cry now! An idiot actually bought his heart and took his world under his control!"
Tang Mingzhen just remained silent. There are countless people in this world who are living under the fear brought by Shangguan Jinnian. She is the only one who has been pretending not to see it, or turning a blind eye.
The blood flowed through the iron chain and formed dark red scabs.
She didn't know what kind of conditions the prince had offered to Shangguan Jinnian, but if he wanted Shangguan Jinnian to return the world to his Li family, she was afraid that she and the prince would die together in the East Palace as two idiots.
.
In Tang Mingzhen's opinion, there is nothing in this world that is bigger than Shangguan Jinnian's world, including her. Thinking of Shangguan Chiying and Princess Anya's words yesterday, she felt as if even her heart was bound by an iron chain.
If Tang Ming could really get out of the palace, she would find that the entire palace had turned into an impenetrable siege. A large number of troops poured into the imperial city from all directions in Chang'an City. The torches illuminated the night sky of the entire imperial city.
daytime.
Shangguan Jinnian rode a horse in front of the huge vermilion gate of the Forbidden City. His black armor and black horse perfectly complemented the vast night. He mobilized all the nearby armies, thousands of troops, and could conquer the entire city at any time.
The city of Chang'an was flattened with iron hoofs!
But no one rushed to take a step forward.
How can that insignificant idiot win his life by pretending to be crazy and win over a few secret guards? Shangguan Jinnian can't afford to mobilize troops and mobilize people for him. The scary thing is that things are far from that simple.
Shangguan Chiying was originally a puppet set up by the Shangguan family to take advantage of the Li family. However, after being the empress for several years, she has accumulated a lot of strength. In addition, her identity can unite the forces of the Shangguan family and the Li family.
This is something Shangguan Jinnian cannot do. Just like the prince who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, Shangguan Chiying will not be willing to be a puppet.
No matter who the mastermind was, they had already made a clever move and found Shangguan Jinnian's only weakness! He held Tang Mingzhen hostage, which was a bloody poaching of Shangguan Jinnian's heart!
