Chapter 256 Royal Brothers
Yun Qi's expression changed slightly in an instant, "Where did the news come from?"

"Lin Huwei's men risked their lives to come and report. He was covered in blood. He fainted after just saying these words. Now we have asked the doctor to come over and treat him!"

"Where is he? Take me there!"

"Yes."

The palace guard stood up and walked away quickly. When Yun Qi saw the so-called guard around Lin Zhen, he frowned: "They are a bit unfamiliar, not like the ones Lin Zhen often brings."

Lin Ye stepped forward to look at him and said in a deep voice: "This person was promoted by Lin Zhen recently. He has been working in our palace for several years. He has gained Lin Zhen's trust recently."

"Oh."

Yun Qi lowered his eyes for a moment and suddenly smiled, "It seems that he really wants me to leave the capital. If that's the case, how can I not fulfill his wish?"

After half a cup of tea, a distinguished man wearing a black, wide-sleeved, soft-armored war robe and a long sword rushed out from the Dingxi Palace with a group of elite members of the Xuanjia Army.

A series of horse hooves rumbled like thunder, and they quickly left the west city gate.

In the darkness on one side of the city gate, someone watched the man leave, then his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

*
The night was dark. After leaving the palace, the prince did not return to the East Palace. Instead, he ordered someone to drive to Tianlao.

Before arriving at the prison, the prince's personal guard Yanli helped the prince get out of the carriage and walked with him into the cell.

Along the way, there was a rotten smell in the air.

Dark and damp.

The warden held a torch and followed behind the prince and Yanli with a few people.

King Liang is now in an iron prison where felons are imprisoned. It is on the third floor underground and has a triple lock on the door. Neither the warden nor the other two deputies have a key to open the lock.

The group of people walked for about a quarter of an hour and descended the steps to the iron prison underground. The warden stepped forward and bowed and said: "Your Highness, step back, and the villain will open the door."

The prince said "Hmm" and stood not far from the iron gate. The gold threads on the bright yellow embroidered dragon uniform jumped with the light of the torch and shone brightly. It was also very eye-catching in this dark prison.

The Yanli next to him was holding a sword with his hands folded across his chest. He was dressed in blue and black clothes and seemed to be hidden in the darkness. He was breathing very lightly and had no sense of existence.

With a few clicks, the door of the iron prison opened, and the warden saluted: "Your Highness, please."

"You guys go out." The prince ordered, "Wait outside and don't come near this place."

"Yes."

The warden and others quickly retreated, and Yanli also retreated outside the iron prison, leaving only the prince alone.

The prince lifted his robe and stepped into the puddles into the iron prison.

The cell was square and very small.

There were only two wall lamps hanging on the wall, and the burning wicks gave off the pungent smell of lamp oil.

A man with tattered and dirty clothes and clumps of hair sat in the middle.

Hearing someone coming in, he raised his head and stared blankly for a moment, his eyes finally fixed on the prince, "Brother?"

Prince Liang's voice was hoarse, as if he didn't believe that he could see the prince here.

After staring for a long time, until the prince sighed, King Liang suddenly stood up and rushed towards the prince, "Brother, please help me plead with my father. Brother, I know I was wrong. I will no longer be dominant in Youyun Sixteen Provinces." Be blessed!”

But the chains on his hands and feet prevented King Liang from getting close to the prince.The sound of brushing sounded, and when he was halfway through, he fell to his knees, raised his head again, and begged: "Brother, I beg you, save me, because I have also opened up the territory for the Qin Dynasty." For my sake——”

"I guard the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. I have resisted the invasion of foreign enemies these years. I have no merit but hard work, brother!"

After being detained for nearly a month, King Liang lost a lot of weight, and he was no longer as powerful as the most powerful vassal king in the past.

In this dark place, it only took a short time for him to wear away all his arrogance and domineering, leaving him no longer arrogant.

"My father is not unkind." The prince sighed again, "It's just that what happened during the Shangyuan Festival was too brutal. The three hundred or so servants of the Chen family and their guards barely survived."

"And when those killers were chasing Chen Shulan on the street, they killed people and killed the imperial officials——"

"Because of this pursuit, the people rioted and stampeded, killing more than 1000 people. Now all the evidence points to you."

"not me!"

King Liang shouted: "I didn't do it. I do hate Chen Zhiyuan very much, but I didn't have time to attack him. It was someone else. Brother, believe me, it was someone else!"

"Which bystander is it?"

"Yes, yes -" King Liang gritted his teeth for a long time and blurted out: "It's Yunting Yi, it must be Lao Twelve who did it. Don't think that he is weak and harmless on the surface, but secretly he is extremely vicious!"

"He taught me many of the things I have done over the years, including his involvement in many things in the Sixteenth Province of Youyun!"

"Twelve brothers?"

The prince lowered his eyes, hiding the countless gloominess in his eyes, "If you have evidence, Gu can help you present your love to the father. But if you don't have evidence, it will be in vain for Gu to tell the father."

"Father will only think that you are biting and biting when trouble comes. I'm afraid he will be even more angry and it will be difficult to deal with it."

"Of course I have evidence!" King Liang said coldly: "I have known him for more than a year or two, and everyone around me is a witness. There are also letters in the mansion of the commander-in-chief of Youyun Sixteenth State, by the way - "

"I also have secret letters behind the secret cabinet of Prince Liang's Mansion, which are in the study. These are all evidence!"

"Okay." The prince nodded, "Gu sent people to look for him. If it turns out that the twelfth brother put everything on you, Gu will not stand idly by."

"Eldest brother -" Liang Wang said happily: "It is the third brother who has lost his mind and turned against you all these years. If the eldest brother can really save the younger brother's life, the younger brother will definitely be devastated. From now on, he will listen to the elder brother in everything!"

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you big brother, thank you big brother!"

The prince and Liang Wang grew up together and had some brotherly feelings.

However, after King Liang went to the Sixteenth Province of Youyun, there was less contact, and because of his great military exploits, he developed wolfish ambitions under the praise and temptation of King Zhou, and the relationship between the brothers gradually faded.

And this month, after he was locked up in such a dark place and tortured by emotions such as fear, anger, regret, etc., now the call of "big brother" was sincere.

He vaguely knew that if there was anyone in this world who was still willing to save his life, it would be no one except his eldest brother.

King Liang's forehead was bleeding, with tears in his eyes, "If I had listened more to my elder brother's teachings, I wouldn't have been dragged into the gutter by others. It was me who was stupid, I was stupid -"

The prince felt sad in his heart, and sighed secretly, and stepped forward to help him: "You get up first, I am not sure at this moment, I can only——"

At this moment, Prince Liang, who was looking at the prince with tears in his eyes and looking expectantly, suddenly looked strange and pinched the prince's arm with his backhand.

The prince's arm hurt, he frowned and said: "The third child?"

Prince Liang's body trembled faintly, and his expression gradually became crazy. He suddenly used his hands as claws and pinched the prince's neck directly.
