After Sima Daozi entered the door, Niuhu did not go far, but hid in a dimly lit place, monitoring their every move while concealing it from others.
This is not only for Sima Yao, but also for Wang Guobao.
A dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, but a man will be more energetic when he is anxious.
Who knows if Sima Daozi would kill someone and get rid of the scourge Wang Guobao in order to protect himself?
"Sit down first, sit down first, national treasure, why have you become like this!"
Being in jail is, after all, being in jail, without seeing the light of day and feeling unhappy. Even a man as handsome and handsome as Wang Guobao will inevitably become gloomy and lose his former glory.
Fortunately, since it is a royal prison, the conditions here are quite acceptable, and the cells are kept relatively clean.
In order for Wang Guobao to confess his crimes as soon as possible, a desk and a table were prepared for him, and there was no shortage of pen, ink, paper and inkstone every day.
It's a pity that Brother Guobao doesn't appreciate it, and he still hasn't written a word in big letters until now.
"Your Highness, please get me out quickly!
"I can't stand this kind of day anymore!"
"It's simply unbelievable!"
As he spoke, the national treasure's eyes were red, and he rarely continued to be exaggerated.
Besides waiting and begging, what else can he do now?
Although he cursed every day, Guobao also knew in his heart that it would not solve the problem at all. If he had not understood this, he would not have given Niuhu a gold ring.
"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you!"
"I'm also trying to figure it out. National treasure, think about it, where did we offend His Majesty?"
This is the most critical question. Sima Daozi thought about it for several days, but he had no clue.
During the days when Sima Yao was in seclusion, Sima Daozi saw clearly that the gate of Xianyang Palace was closed tightly, and the young eunuchs who brought Sima Yao food were handed in through the window, with almost no contact.
However, on the same day that Sima Yao had just finished his retreat, he imprisoned Wang Guobao in the sky prison. All this happened so fast that it was completely caught off guard.
The change must have occurred in these few days, but after Sima Daozi inquired in many ways, he still could not find the real reason for Sima Yao's sudden change of face.
I can only try my luck here at Wang Guobao.
"I can't think of it. I've thought about it many times in the past few days, but I just can't think of it."
"We are very secretive and careful in our work. Who will frame us?"
"Your Majesty just arrested me and put me in a prison, and the real reason was never disclosed. Isn't this strange?"
strangeness!
Of course it’s strange!
After being reminded by Wang Guobao, Sima Daozi's heart skipped a beat.
When Wang Guobao's home was raided, the reason used was that Guobao flattered Sima Daozi and acted treacherously. However, the specific reason for that incident and what Sima Yao heard about it are still unclear.
However, one thing is very clear!
The arrest of Wang Guobao is closely related to Sima Daozi!
Sima Yao arrested Wang Guobao on the grounds that he flattered Sima Daozi and alienated the relationship between brothers!
Wang Guobao is already like this, and next, it is his turn to be Sima Daozi!
"National treasure, it won't be possible to rescue you in an instant. However, I can assure you that your life will be absolutely fine here. As long as you persist for a while, I will plead with Your Majesty again when the news is over.
I promise to get you out!"
"You must hold on!"
Sima Daozi grabbed Wang Guobao's hand and shook it affectionately. Wang Guobao was dubious about Daozi's words.
His relationship with Sima Daozi was never hidden from others, and Sima Yao saw it clearly. He had already fallen into such a situation, and Sima Daozi's situation must not be good.
However, with Wang Guobao's current situation, he can only hold on to Sima Daozi's dog's tail and not let go!
"National Treasure, if we want to stabilize our power in the court, I also need help. Can you think of anyone else you can recommend?"
The two of them talked for a long time in a pretentious manner, and finally got something practical.
Sima Daozi had always known that there was a group of people gathered around Wang Guobao. These people were the children of middle-class officials who opposed the dominance of several aristocratic families in the government.
However, Sima Daozi is still not sure who is available and who is unreliable.
Wang Guobao picked off the lice and thought for a while.
"Among the few people I know well, Yuan Yuezhi is trustworthy. He wants to overthrow Xie An and others and is very determined."
"What about Fanning?"
Fan Ayu's face suddenly flashed across Sima Daozi's eyes. The way he spoke righteously in the court that day was quite courageous.
In the past, because Fan Ning focused on his studies, Sima Daozi knew that Wang Guobao and Fan Ning were uncle-nephew and very close, but he did not pay too much attention to him.
"he?"
The national treasure smiled contemptuously: "This old man has been useless recently!"
"Where to start?"
"The Huangmen Minister Wang Zhiyuan, your Highness must know, made up a set of lies to deceive Fan Ning, saying that within three generations, his Fan family will have a learned man who will be famous throughout the ages. Fan Ning has devoted his life to studying knowledge, but unfortunately, his reputation will only be in this world.
Our generation is about to stop."
"Fan Ning is also very clear about his abilities. That's why he believed Wang Zhiyuan's lies and placed his hopes on his grandchildren who haven't even had a shadow yet."
"However, he also wrote a memorial to His Majesty a few days ago, exposing the disaster in Dongguan. It doesn't look like he has done nothing."
Wang Guobao raised his hand covered with black mud and waved it vigorously.
"That was definitely not Fan Ning's original intention. Yuan Yuezhi should have asked him to do this."
Wang Guobao understands Fan Ning's nature best. He is born with the courage of a mouse. When others dare not speak out, he dare not even fart.
If you jump out to speak at this time, you can only say that there must be someone behind it.
"There is another person, Your Highness must be careful."
"who?"
An enemy appears?
Sima Daozi suddenly became nervous. He had to find allies and guard against enemies. Without the national treasure by his side, he was really powerless.
"Servant of Huangmen, Wang Zhiyuan." Wang Guobao said calmly. This name really surprised Sima Daozi.
"he?"
"Didn't he have a good relationship with you during this period?"
Although Sima Daozi also hated Wang Mi, he also knew that Wang Guobao and the others were trying to win over this person recently, and the results were pretty good.
Such a person, even if he is not one of our own, is not an enemy!
"What a fart!"
"Your Highness, this person is much more dangerous than Xie An and others. During the time I am in the prison, you must be careful about this person. Once he gets caught, it will cost your life!"
so serious?
Daozi was shocked: "What does he want to do?"
Thinking of Wang Zhiyuan's disrespect towards him in the court, Sima Daozi became even more unhappy. Could it be that this person has always been targeting him?
The national treasure sighed deeply and was helpless.
"I don't know about this. Although he usually talks a lot, he never cares about his heart and refuses to have deep friendship with his brothers."
"The old boy Fan Ning brought him in when we contacted him privately. Since then, although we have met frequently, he has not done anything for us."
"I have thought about it in the past few days. Every time we meet, he is always happy to go, but he is unwilling to cooperate with us. Coupled with his status as the Langya Wang family, I think he must have other motives for contacting us.
."
Daozi lowered his head and kept this matter in mind. In fact, without Wang Guobao's reminder, he had already seen that Wang Zhiyuan was harboring evil intentions.
"Is there anything else I should pay attention to?" Wang Guobao had a lot of time and was not worried at all, but Sima Daozi kept asking him questions. Only he knew that this might be the last time the two of them met.
Of course, they have to do their best to get out everything Wang Guobao has to say. The more they talk, the happier Niuhu is in the corner.
In the dark corner, amid the hazy darkness, Niuhu's eyes were as bright as a tiger that had seen its prey.
"And there's Sun Tai!"
"I'm in jail and I can't get out for a while. If your highness has any undecided thoughts, you might as well ask Sun Tianshi for advice."
"Master Sun's wisdom is far superior to ours. If Your Highness wants to succeed, you must rely on Master Sun."
Master Sun: Brother National Treasure, I thank you!
Wang Guobao is very ambitious. Under the current situation, if he still wants to get out of the prison alive, he has only one way, and that is for Sima Daozi to replace Sima Yao and become the emperor!
However, at this moment, Sima Daozi's attitude was not as firm as he imagined.
"Does His Highness have concerns?"
Judging from Sima Daozi's arrogant personality, as long as he did not respond in time, it meant that there was something wrong in his heart.
"National treasure, it seems that the matter of seizing the throne can only be discussed in the long term. You were imprisoned by His Majesty in the sky prison, and your home was ransacked. Although I was not imprisoned, my situation is not good either."
"Now it seems that we have to endure it for a while longer."
"Could it be that His Highness's will has been shaken?"
"Don't want to go any further?"
In order to stabilize him, Sima Daozi quickly denied: "You and I are still young, so this matter is not urgent."
"Not urgent."
"His Majesty has become suspicious. Are we still going to get in front of him because we are afraid that he will not be able to catch us?"
Afraid!
Of course I'm afraid!
But Wang Guobao did this for himself. As long as Sima Yao was still the emperor, he would not let Wang Guobao go.
Niuhu in the darkness watched Sima Daozi lift his butt and walked out of the cell, cursing in his heart: This guy is really nothing!
He is indeed a selfish scumbag!
"You're not still waiting for King Langya to rescue you!"
After Sima Daozi left, Niuhu finally walked out of the dark corner. The two of them had been negligent just now and didn't even notice that Niuhu was wandering not far away.
This is of course not because Niuhu is good at disguise, but because due to various misunderstandings, Wang Guobao and the others mistakenly believed that Niuhu was one of their own.
"King Langya has hands and eyes that reach the sky. Since you have helped me spread the news, you are one of my own. When I go out, I will definitely give you a high official and a generous salary. Just wait!"
Although he was worried in his heart, Wang Guobao would not let himself look depressed in front of Niuhu.
The way he bared his teeth and danced his claws was really laughable.
"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and I don't want to hide it from you anymore. King Langya can't save you at all. Your Majesty has already discovered your conspiracy. Do you think you can still get out?"
"Not to mention you, King Langya is lucky enough to be able to protect himself!"
Wang Guobao suddenly panicked.
"Your Majesty knows about us?"
"How can it be!"
"Don't try to lie to me!"
"The fact that your Majesty can still come to see me proves that His Majesty does not doubt him?"
Wang Guobao, Wang Guobao, it’s in vain that he was born into a first-class wealthy family. Even today, he has been imprisoned and has not made any progress. He is still dreaming of sweet dreams.
"Your Majesty can still come because he is still His Majesty's biological brother, and there is always a sense of family affection. But you, you are different."
"Did you know that your home has been raided twice?"
"Did you know that not only was your family's property confiscated, but your family's members have also been transferred to Ye Ting as slaves and maids?"
"Do you know that since you step through this door, you will never leave again?"
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Wang Guobao screamed crazily, and his strong body crashed along the cell fence, collapsing to the ground. The manic shouts became lower and lower along with his gradually limp body, and finally almost became a whisper.
"You mean, it's impossible for His Highness to save me?"
"Am I certain to die?"
Wang Guobao was not an open-minded person, but Niuhu never expected that he would be so incompetent and timid.
He should have thought of this day from the time he instigated Sima Daozi to usurp the throne!
"To tell you the truth, I have given your gold ring to Your Majesty a long time ago. I have been ordered to monitor your every move."
"Do you understand it?"
The dying Wang Guobao was shocked again. He struggled to stand up and held the wooden fence tightly with both hands: "You, you are actually His Majesty's man!"
Niuhu nodded, isn't this inevitable? In this Jiankang Palace, except for a few people who were bribed and won over by them, the remaining servants, from top to bottom, are of course all Sima Yao's people.
"There is only one person who can save you now!"
"Who?" Wang Guobao is not a loyal person. Right now, as long as there is someone who can save him, no matter who it is, he can betray him calmly!
"I!"
A word came from a distance, neither high nor low, but full of inherent majesty.
This is……
Following Wang Guobao's line of sight, he could see a man wearing a blue dragon robe walking slowly from the other side of the prison.
"His Majesty……"
When things got to this point, Sima Yao had already torn off the veil of tenderness. Niuhu was waiting in Tianlao. As soon as Sima Daozi appeared, he had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Sima Yao.
On this side, Sima Daozi left Tianlao with his front leg, and Sima Yao arrived with his back leg. It's not that His Majesty the Emperor couldn't come earlier, but he didn't want to do so.
If two brothers bump into each other in the sky jail, it will not be a good thing for either side. It will be too embarrassing and they don't know how it will end.
When Sima Yao's figure appeared on the other side of the prison fence, the little flame in Wang Guobao's heart was completely extinguished.
