There was no daylight in the dungeon, with only dim candlelight flickering on the wall. The shelf used by Ling Chi was leaning against the corner. Zhao Luozhi was sitting behind the fence. His eyes were slightly sunken. It was not difficult to notice at a closer look, in his pupils.

, there are already countless tiny blood streaks.

He couldn't be sure what time it was now, but he could conclude that from the time he was taken away from Jing'an Palace to now, it should have been at least half an hour, but why... Kong Yiran's people haven't been there yet

Come?!

Just when his heart started to become restless, the door of the dungeon made a dull sound, and someone walked in against the light. Zhao Luluo was dressed in silk and satin clothes, with a head full of pearls. However, time was urgent after all, and there was no trace of hair on her face.

There was no time to apply makeup, but looking at it under the dim candlelight, it looked indescribably thin.

Seeing her outfit, Zhao Luozhi immediately understood something, "Did you betray me, Lu Luo?"

"It can't be said to be a betrayal. I just had to plan for myself. Moreover, if we really want to talk about betrayal, it was you, Your Highness, who betrayed me first." Although Zhao Luluo's tone was soft, there was an uncontrollable resentment in his words.

"If you hadn't abandoned our mother and son in order to win over Princess Zhaoming, how could I have been so against you?"

"Luluo, I really didn't expect that you would be deceived by other people's sweet words!" Zhao Luozhi was heartbroken, looking at Zhao Luluo with complex eyes, and there was still endless tenderness in his eyes, "You think I don't intend to save you?"

Are you? How is it possible! You are still pregnant with my child, how could I just watch something happen to you and your mother!?"

Zhao Luluo looked at him indifferently, "Then tell me, how do you plan to save us, mother and son? In your heart, all you see is Princess Zhaoming, where is the slightest bit of status for us, mother and son?

!”

"You asked me to explain to you, Luluo, go get the key and let me out. I will take you mother and son away. I originally planned to take you out of the palace secretly tonight when no one notices.

I left, Luluo, I promised that I would take care of you, mother and son, my oath, I never dare to forget it, Luluo!"

Zhao Luozhi spoke so affectionately, as if he wanted to dig out his heart right away and show it to the other person, "In my heart, you are the only one, Luluo. Come on, let me out now, and we'll leave right now."

, leave the capital far away, never come back again, and live our free days!"

"Put away your oath." Zhao Luluo's face had a trace of sadness, "I am blind, and I can't see that in your heart, only the throne is the most important. Zhao Luozhi, I

I won’t be fooled by you again. I came here today just to see you again and see what kind of man can be so cruel and ruthless!"

"Luluo, Luluo!" Seeing her turn and leave after looking at him with resentment, Zhao Luozhi begged to no avail, and his expression suddenly became manic and ferocious, "Zhao Luluo! You think you are setting me up, just do it

Can I continue to be your superior princess?! It’s not certain which of the two of us will be on the road to hell first!”

Zhao Luluo paused for a moment, looked back and glanced indifferently, and then walked out of the dungeon without looking back. She had done a good job in betraying the information. The Queen Mother had already restored her status as a princess. The Queen Mother had a noble status, and she kept her promise and would never do anything.

There may be times when she goes back on her word, so how could she die in front of this unfaithful person?

For having made such a contribution to the great cause, not only would she not die, but she would also be rewarded. As soon as she walked out of the dungeon, Zhao Luluo saw the person in front of her, nodded and said hello, "Good Auntie."

"Princess." Aunt Liang gave a simple salute, "The Queen, if you have something important to do, please go to Qifeng Palace. Please don't delay for even a moment."

"Why are you so anxious?" Zhao Luluo asked.

"You'll know when the princess comes." Aunt Liang held up a lantern and made a gesture of invitation toward the path leading to Qifeng Palace.

It seemed that this was going to be a reward for herself, and Zhao Luluo suddenly couldn't help but feel elated. She had made a contribution to a great cause this time, and no matter how special the reward would be for herself, it would be impossible to overestimate.

Early the next morning, Ji Fuyin, who had just woken up, received two obituaries in succession. One was sent by the Sixth Prince's Mansion. It was said that the Sixth Prince suddenly fell seriously ill in the middle of the night yesterday. His body was covered with pustules and he had difficulty breathing. It was too late.

He went to ask the imperial doctor and died. As for the other copy, it was sent from the palace. Zhao Luluo unfortunately drowned last night.

When she was discovered, Zhao Luluo's body had been soaked in the lake all night, and her body was somewhat swollen. Her originally delicate face had become bloated, but she was dressed in extremely luxurious clothes.

, I also applied makeup carefully on my face, but unfortunately it was soaked in water and became a mess.

Zhao Luluo's death looked like she had slipped and fallen into the water, but in fact, Ji Fuyin knew very well in her heart that it must have been done by the Queen Mother. Zhao Luluo colluded with the prince, and the bead was secretly tied. It was already a mistake first, and then she used it again.

How could the Queen Mother endure the threat of intelligence coming to her and asking her to resume her status as princess?

Furthermore, yesterday she was absolutely sure that evidence of collusion between Zhao Luozhi and Kong Yiran was found from the place where she had given evidence. It was a matter of life and death for the country, but she refused to report the knowledge and had to wait until

He was in danger, so he spoke out as a bargaining chip -

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the sin of a person who fails to report the knowledge is as serious as that of the person who made the mistake. Even Zhao Luozhi cannot escape death this time, not to mention that she is just a mere

Princess?

Although the Queen Mother and the Emperor knew the real cause of death of these two people, considering the issue of face, they still ordered that the funeral specifications of the two people should be according to the level of prince and princess, and it should be done in a glorious manner.

Had a game.

As for Ji Fuyin, she was summoned to the palace that day to follow the Queen Mother's instructions to comfort Princess Zhao who had just experienced the pain of losing her daughter.

After experiencing the death of his son and daughter one after another, Prince Zhao's face showed signs of fatigue that should not be seen at this age early on. Princess Zhao also became much older overnight, her temples were gray, and her face was full of

It's miserable, my body was originally sick, and now I can't even get out of bed.

Faced with such a Princess Zhao who was already like a living dead, words of comfort were in vain. Ji Fuyin just followed the Queen Mother's instructions and softly comforted her for a few words. When she saw Princess Zhao, she coughed again.

Not long after leaving Princess Zhao, just as he was about to leave the palace, he saw a man standing against the wall. When he saw himself, he raised his eyes slightly and looked over here.

"Your Highness, Fifth Highness." Ji Fuyin greeted him with a smile, "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, has nothing to do. Do you want to walk around in the palace?"

Kong Yiran looked around. It was very quiet here and no one noticed what they were saying. "Before, I thought about it. Maybe what you said, Princess, is right. Anyway, the final result is the same."

Yes, then I might as well choose someone to cooperate with who is more beneficial to me."

Ji Fuyin laughed, "It's great that His Highness the Fifth Prince can think so, but I don't know how sincere His Highness the Fifth Prince is?"

Kong Yiran snorted coldly, "Didn't my sincerity go to the Prince's Mansion early this morning?"

Giving up on Zhao Luozhi was equivalent to agreeing to Ji Fuyin's previous proposal. Kong Yiran looked at her and said, "As for the specific arrangements in the future, we can go to the Prince's Mansion now to discuss things with the Prince."

"There is something wrong with this. The Fifth Highness is a guest, and what happened to the Sixth Prince has just happened. If the Fifth Highness is patient, just wait for another day or two, and I will naturally come with the Prince to find you, the Fifth Highness." Ji Fuyin

Looking at him, he said, "Haste makes waste. Success is already within our grasp. Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, does not need to be so impatient."

Kong Yiran's eyebrows tightened, "This time I came to Daye in the name of Yun'er. The cronies sent by her father and mother to pick her up should arrive in the next two days. The Crown Princess still has to hurry up.

good."

After bidding farewell to Kong Yiran, he returned to the Prince's Mansion. Not long after, Gu Hanqian also rushed back from the palace. After sending away the other servants, he said in a deep voice: "Fuyin, what you said is indeed right.

The document we forged before really made my father suspicious of Brother Three Emperors."

"Father, he began to feel that it was a bit disturbing to let the Third Emperor Brother hold the military power. Today, the Father has taken back all the military power from the Third Emperor Brother. The Third Emperor Brother's trump card is already

We were hollowed out by our father. After that, we should go and pay homage to the fifth prince of Zhaoming."

"Have you received the news?" Ji Fuyin's expression perked up, "When?"

"It's been just two or three days, and the specific news hasn't been sent yet, but we should make preparations early." Gu Hanqian smiled at her, with a sly look in his eyes.

The days passed like this for another two days. Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, Gu Hanqian received the news that the people who came to pick up Kong Caiyun from Zhaoming would enter the capital tonight. When they arrived,

, which happens to be at midnight.

The two people who received the news looked at each other, which meant... their chance had come. Whether Zhaoming and Daye could avoid this battle depends on tonight.

Just as the sun was about to set, Gu Hanqian entered the palace, taking with them a lot of pastries that she had ordered Qingmei and Luoyu to make in the afternoon. The pastries were made into extremely cute styles.

To the outside world, it was only said that a new cook in the house was good at making pastries, and he brought some to the palace to distribute to everyone.
