Chapter 374 No chance to speak anymore (2)
"The queen is fine," Rong Xia didn't miss the slightest bit of emotion on the prince's face, "The prince said that this matter has nothing to do with you, but many of the assassins caught were your former troops, and these people have been loyal to you until now. They all insist that they are the people of King Li. If the prince is not busy, let me go to the prison with me."
"My minister is willing to go."
The door of the imperial study room opened, and Rong Xia's expression changed slightly: "Huahua?"
Seeing that Banhua's face was ruddy, and he didn't look like he was injured, Prince He immediately felt relieved. He bowed to Banhua, "I have seen the empress."
"My lord, you don't need to be too polite," Ban Hua smiled at him.
Seeing her smile as usual, Rong Xia thought she hadn't heard what was said in the study, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Ban Hua spoke.
"I also want to go to the prison, take me with you."
Rong Xia: ...
He turned his head and looked at Du Jiu who was standing at the door, Du Jiu shrank his head back. The Empress didn't let him make a sound, how could he dare to make a sound? Your Majesty, you have to do your best to please the empress, what else can these miserable guards do?
"I can't go?" Ban Hua raised his eyebrows to look at Rong Xia.
"Okay, let's go together."
Seeing the way the two get along with each other, Prince He relaxed his tense jaw a little.
The Heavenly Prison is guarded jointly by people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and all the important prisoners are held in it. This place is heavily guarded, unless there is His Majesty's order, the prisoner's relatives and friends are not allowed to visit.
Banhua noticed that the guards here all had serious expressions, and there was a bit of a fierce look on their faces, with the four characters "Do not enter if idlers" were written all over their faces.
Even if the empress came, they just saluted in a proper manner, instead of rushing forward to please. After Banhua walked in, he turned his head to look at the guards who stood upright, with broad shoulders and long legs.
Rong Xia noticed her small movements and squeezed her palm to keep her eyes from wandering.
Are these men as good-looking as him?
Banhua blinked at him innocently, as if what are you pinching me for.
Rong Xia's heart itched unbearably from this look, and she pinched her hand a few more times to suppress the emotions in her heart.
When going down the steps, Rong Xia glanced at the gorgeous skirt behind Banhua, bent down and lifted her skirt, and put the skirt down after passing the steps. He did it very naturally, but the guards and the prince in the dungeon were dumbfounded.
"I have seen His Majesty, the Empress, and the Prince." Liu Banshan greeted him from inside, and also noticed His Majesty helping the Empress lift her skirt, but he concealed it very well, and no one could see it. Out of his emotions.
"There's no need to be too polite," Rong Xia said directly, "Where are those assassins being held?"
Liu Banshan glanced at the Prince and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please come with me."
His Majesty's willingness to bring Prince He here shows that His Majesty still has some leeway for Prince He. If this matter really has nothing to do with Prince He, for the Queen's sake, His Majesty should not be too embarrassing for Prince He.
At this time, the assassins who were imprisoned in the dungeon had no plans to get out alive, but when they saw that Prince He was also brought in by the emperor, the expressions on their faces changed. Liu Banshan noticed his expression, and his heart sank. It seems that this matter is really related to the prince.
"You..." Prince He was shocked when he saw these assassins, "Didn't I tell you to leave the capital, live a good life, and never come back again?"
"Prince He, have you never heard of death for money?" an assassin said, "What can you do with the little silver you give brothers? Although King Li is cruel, he is generous in his actions. Money, houses and women Brothers follow him and have everything, why should we listen to you and go to those poor and remote places to live a hard life?"
"Since you have become the prince of the new dynasty, don't worry about us brothers, and we don't want to follow a spineless master like you."
Prince He looked at these assassins with a pale face. These people were all dead soldiers who had accompanied him since he was a child. The one who spoke was because he was shot in the back by an arrow, and it took him more than a year to recover from his soul. There is another one, because he broke three toes and one arm, and the others are also loyal to him, wishing to repay him with their lives. How could these people do such a thing for Jiang Luo?
Prince He suddenly remembered Shi Shi's reaction before entering the palace, he stared blankly at these people, and said in a hoarse voice after a while, "Did Shi Shi ask you to do it?"
The expressions of the several assassins all changed, but the assassin who spoke just now spoke again, "It's really interesting to be with the prince. You think the princess is old and ugly, and she will just divorce her. How can you blame her for this kind of blame? After all, it's a one-night husband and a hundred nights." Well, you are being too ruthless."
The assassin's words were all about He Tai and the Prince, but every word he said was completely out of He Prince.
Even if Banhua wasn't interested in conspiracy and calculation at all, he figured it out now. Nine out of ten of these assassins were summoned by Shi in the name of his cousin. After the assassination was revealed, these assassins who were loyal to his cousin were unwilling to implicate him, and they all insisted that they were all Jiang Luo's people.
Anyway, Jiang Luo has done so many wicked things, it doesn't matter if he takes the blame.
Rong Xia could even guess what Banhua could figure out. He didn't want to watch such a scene of deep love between master and servant, so he said directly, "Prince and I will take you to meet King Li."
The assassin thought that Rong Xia wanted to confront the two Jiang brothers, so they were relieved.
It seems that Emperor Cheng'an really had some doubts about King Li, so they were relieved.
To go to the place where King Li was imprisoned, he had to go through other prisons. When passing Tianzi No. 7 cell, Banhua stopped when he saw the middle-aged woman imprisoned inside.
This person is the old bustard of Huanhua Pavilion and the landlord of the killer building. After removing the beautiful clothes and gold hairpins, she looks a lot older.
The old bustard also saw Banhua, and she looked away expressionlessly, disregarding life and death.
Ban Hua chuckled and walked away. On the other hand, after hearing her chuckle, the old bustard suddenly turned his head and looked over, only to see the back of Banhua leaving surrounded by everyone.
She thought about the Changqing King who was locked inside, and couldn't calm down anymore.
No matter how good-looking a man is, if he doesn't wash or change clean clothes for a long time, he is no different from the dirty and lazy man on the street. King Changqing used to have a handsome face, but what Ban Hua saw now was just a man with knotted hair and a dirty body.
What kind of demeanor, what kind of extravagance, all turned into a cloud of smoke.
