"You still know each other..."

The prisoner next door cursed a few times, and when he saw the porridge in the barrel, his eyes gleamed.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulled the barrel closer, and leaned close to the iron pillar, eating with his hands.

"Brother Ce?"

Faced with the puzzled looks of his men, Li Ce did not explain too much and asked them to calm down. Then he once again sat in the corner of the cell and waited quietly.

"Tick-tock-tock..." The water drops dripping in the cell wetted the few dry straws, and several people tossed and turned on the grass distractedly.

"Brother Ce, we can't think of other ways before running away. With these few iron pillars, we brothers can definitely find a way to escape if we work together."

Li Ce closed his eyes and said nothing. In fact, he kept leaning against the wall and listened carefully to what was happening on the other side.

Just now there was the sound of wolfing down the food next door. The bland rice soup and wild vegetables all made it feel like a Manchu-Han banquet.

The man hummed and sucked, as if he was holding a wooden bucket and filling his stomach.

When the brothers discussed how to escape from prison, Li Ce didn't say anything.

He opened his eyes until there was the sound of heavy objects falling next door.

"Brother Ce?"

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Li Ce ran to the edge and poked his head vigorously. He actually poked half of his head out of the gap between the iron piles and caught a glimpse of the truth next door.

The man who had insulted them not long ago was now frothing at the mouth and fell beside the iron pole, still holding the barrel with one hand.

The barrel fell to one side, and a small amount of porridge water spilled out.

The light water looked in Li Ce's eyes, and he couldn't help but clenched his fist hanging by his side.

A deathly silence spread in the cell, and people were indeed dead.

When the jailers found out that someone had died suddenly, they didn't take it seriously. If the weather hadn't been hot and the body hadn't been disposed of earlier, it would have rotted and emitted a stench, and they didn't bother to pay attention.

Wrap the body with a straw mat and drag it to any open space and bury it.

The bandits sat together and watched helplessly as the jailer dragged a straw mat out with a hemp rope. As they moved, they accidentally opened a corner of the straw mat, revealing the man's dead face.

The man's face was covered with dirt and his hair was unkempt. His face was livid, and most of his face was foaming at the corner of his mouth. He was staring with unblinking eyes.

No one spoke, I could only feel the chill rising from the soles of my feet and going straight into the seams of my bones.

"This eldest brother, please stay here and pass a message to the prince for me..."

Before he left, Gu Siyuan did instruct the people in the cell to take more care of their cell. If anyone wanted to report anything, he agreed.

——Inside the prince’s tent.

Qin Zhongwan yawned. She slowly woke up and found herself lying on Gu Siyuan's desk.

She just wanted to find a quiet place to read medical books. Gu Siyuan recommended himself, so she came.

"My daughter has behaved inappropriately. His Highness the Crown Prince did not wake me up, which caused my daughter to disturb His Royal Highness's purity."

By now, Gu Siyuan has long been accustomed to Qin Zhongwan's face that looks respectful but is actually impudent.

He stood up and approached, "Gu is not angry."

Before he finished speaking, Chang An broke in, "Master, Master." Zi... his voice stopped suddenly, and he looked gray. How could he forget?Qin Zhongwan is still in the camp!

He was ordered to protect people, because Qin Zhongwan was always in the camp, and there was no need for Chang'an when the prince was there.

Chang An thought about it and relaxed for a while. Then he met the jailer outside who came to report, and he broke in out of desperation.

"Say." Gu Siyuan spoke concisely and to the point.

Chang An was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Master, Li Ce in the cell relaxed and said he wants to see you."

The chair rattled, and Qin Zhongwan suddenly stood up, "Li Ce changed his mind?"

"If you, Miss Second, are willing, please rest in the tent for a while. I will send someone to take you back later."

"Your Highness, are you going now? It's getting late. Let's go tomorrow."

Li Ce suddenly changed his mind, and Qin Zhongwan had to be on guard, what if there was some conspiracy waiting for Gu Siyuan to jump in?

"There are many dreams at night."

Gu Siyuan left these words and opened the curtain to leave.

"If Your Highness wants to go, you must at least take Chang'an with you, otherwise your daughter will also have to go with you."

Gu Siyuan was not worried about what tricks Li Ce was up to, and he couldn't let Qin Zhongwan get involved and put himself in danger.

In desperation, he agreed to Qin Zhongwan and took Chang'an as his personal bodyguard.

Li Ce waited in agony. He thought about countless possibilities. Could it be an accident?The prisoner in the next cell died unexpectedly and the porridge water was not poisonous.

However, he didn't say anything. The prince would not be so impatient and just silenced him, and the only remaining people were...

Li Ce couldn't help but feel chilled. He didn't say anything, but he had already been silenced. If he took the bucket of porridge, he would not only harm the brothers around him, but also silence everyone.

Mr. Lin, you are so cruel!

There was a dark look in Li Ce's eyes. The moment he saw Gu Siyuan, he made up his mind to reveal everything.
