Ye Xinghe didn't know why Shangguan Xuan wanted to enter the palace for Xia Yuning's father? But Shangguan Xuan and Xia Yuning are not related, so why should they help Xia Yuning
Or for some other reason
Ye Xinghe is not very clear about this.
Since Shangguan Xuan decided to go to the palace, it would be okay for him to accompany him.
With Shang Guanxuan's strength, entering and exiting the palace shouldn't be particularly difficult.
No matter what Shangguan Xuan's purpose was, he could help Xia Yuning find out where King Zhenbei was being held.
The three of them packed up and set off together.
The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, where the royal family lived. The royal family has a long history. Since the first God Emperor opened up the territory and proclaimed himself emperor, the royal family has owned the vast land of the Great Zhou Dynasty and countless people. They have built luxurious palaces for themselves.
There are various pavilions and pavilions in an endless row, and groups of maids and eunuchs come and go among them.
In a remote courtyard, along a long tunnel that leads to the ground more than ten meters deep, there is a huge prison.
Dozens of people are imprisoned in prisons made of fine steel.
One of the prisons held none other than Zhenbei King Xia Lie. He was wearing a gray prison uniform and his shoulder blades were locked by two iron chains. Although he was trapped inside, he still sat cross-legged quietly with his waist straight.
An old eunuch looked at Xia Lie and said with a sharp smile in a male duck's voice: "King Zhenbei, this is the Tianzihao cell. There are a total of twenty-six people imprisoned. Except for you, they are all from the royal family. Can you be imprisoned?" Being locked up here is a blessing that you will never be able to achieve in a few lifetimes!"
Xia Lie opened his eyes, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Li Yuan, do you think you can really cover the sky with one hand? You are so cruel to these royal families!"
After Xia Lie was imprisoned, he was shocked. In more than twenty prisons, many of the royal family members were imprisoned, including some highly respected people. The emperor's two younger brothers were both imprisoned. They were both royal princes, but now they have become prisoners. , no news came out before, and the eighth prince was still here. In addition to the emperor's eldest grandson Zhou Huan who had just come in, many important figures in the royal family were here.
"The prince is joking. No matter how courageous I am, I, Li Yuan, would not dare to do anything cruel to the royal family!" Li Yuan laughed loudly, and his voice was as ugly as sawing wood, "I, Li Yuan, are A dog of the God Emperor, I will do whatever the God Emperor tells me to do, and I will bite people if the God Emperor tells me to do so. These royals are not locked up here by me, but are ordered by the God Emperor!"
"The ignorant and ignorant king actually imprisoned his younger brother and eldest grandson, and killed his own son. The poison of a tiger is not enough to eat its own children. The God-Emperor is simply inhumane!" Xia Lie cursed coldly and angrily.
Li Yuan laughed loudly: "How can you mortals understand the foresight of the God Emperor? When the battle of the God Tower is over, you will know what immortal achievements the God Emperor will create. How can you people understand it?" It is an honor for all of you to sacrifice your life for the great cause of the God Emperor!"
"What a bullshit great cause, it's just self-deception!" Xia Lie snorted coldly.
Li Yuan looked at Xia Lie and laughed wildly, "Xia Lie, what will you do now when your subordinate Lin Kuan exposed me? Lin Kuan ended up with his body and head missing. That night Princess Xia slept with the God Emperor. , the screams are still vivid in my ears, Xia Lie, aren’t you heartbroken?”
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Xia Lie clenched his hands into fists, and the veins on his arms were exposed.
The death of Yu Ning's mother was an eternal pain in his heart!
"Li Yuan, I, Xia Lie, will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!" Xia Lie's eyes were red.
"Hahaha, the prince wants to die so soon? Don't worry, it's still early, the God Emperor keeps you still useful!" Li Yuan laughed wildly, "I came here today just to take a look at the prince and follow him. The prince reminisced about old times, and knowing that the prince was fine, the slave felt relieved and left first!"
Li Yuan turned around and walked away, his arrogant laughter echoing in the deep corridor.
Xia Lie withdrew his gaze, a deep chill flashed across his eyes. Of course he knew that Li Yuan came here deliberately to stimulate him and seek pleasure, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. If there was a chance, he would kill him with his own hands. Li Yuan!
"Uncle Xia." From the prison next to him, Zhou Huan looked over, "Are you Xia Lie, the king of Zhenbei, the father of sister Yu Ning?"
"Yes. Why is the emperor's eldest grandson being imprisoned here?" Xia Lie asked. Zhou Huan had just been imprisoned here by Li Yuan.
Xia Lie recognized Zhou Huan, but Zhou Huan did not recognize Xia Lie because Zhou Huan was still very young when he left Kyoto.
"Uncle Xia, I don't know why. Before I was taken here, they kept looking for something on me. I don't know what they want!" Zhou Huan said with a low expression.
"What are you looking for? Have they found it?" Xia Lie couldn't help but ask.
"No, they couldn't find it, so they gave up helplessly." Zhou Huan shook his head. He had been on the run for so long, how could he bring anything with him
"Why would the God Emperor attack the emperor's eldest grandson?" Xia Lie asked with some confusion.
"I couldn't practice cultivation. My father and mother had been looking for famous doctors to cure me. Later, one time, he came to our Yong'an Palace and said he wanted to treat me. During the treatment, he held a sharp knife and wanted to cure me. He wanted to tear my heart out, but my father and mother stopped him. Later, something happened one after another in Yong'an Palace, and many palace maids died. He then condemned my father and mother, saying that my father and mother were immoral. Under the arrangement, we escaped from Kyoto." Zhou Huan said about his parents, his face full of pain.
"Then this time, after they caught you, did they do anything to you?" Xia Lie couldn't help but ask. He was a little confused. What was the God Emperor looking for when he wanted to peel Zhou Huan's heart apart
"No, this time he just injected a little bit of energy into my body, and gave up angrily when he didn't find anything. But he did say that he would let me die a worthy death after the Battle of the God Tower!" Zhou Huan recalled.
Xia Lie was filled with doubts. What on earth was the God Emperor planning? What secrets are hidden in the Battle of the God Tower
"Uncle Xia, I have been in the Qingyu Family before. Sister Yu Ning is very good to me. I will definitely find a way to help Uncle Xia escape!" Zhou Huan said seriously.
This child, who was imprisoned himself, was thinking about how to help Xia Lie escape. Xia Lie smiled helplessly. This prison was heavily guarded and was located more than ten meters deep underground. It was basically impossible for them to escape. .
