"I will handle my own affairs, Your Majesty, please don't worry about it!"

Noticing that Prince Guo's eyes were looking at her in an increasingly strange way, Concubine Hua became a little scared.

At this critical juncture, if something were to leak out between him and Prince Guo, the entire Nian family would be executed, and even all nine generations of the Nian clan would be implicated.

This is what she doesn't want to see.

Seeing that Concubine Hua was so wary of him, Prince Guo felt as if his heart was stabbed with a knife.

He said sadly: "Don't you want to save your brother? I just want to share the queen's worries."

When Nian Gengyao was mentioned, Concubine Hua was also stunned.

Of course she wanted to save Nian Gengyao.

There is a huge age gap between her and Nian Gengyao. From childhood to adulthood, Nian Gengyao is more like a brother but more like a father to her.

In her previous life, when she learned that Nian Gengyao was going to be executed, she, who had always been extremely proud, fell to her knees in the Yangxin Palace and knocked her head until it bled, just for the emperor to spare Nian Gengyao.

In this life, she cannot beg the emperor as she did in her previous life, because doing so will only make the emperor want to execute Nian Gengyao as soon as possible.

The emperor would not execute Nian Gengyao so quickly because he remembered their old friendship.

Before the emperor made up his mind to execute Nian Gengyao, Concubine Hua had to find a way to save Nian Gengyao.

Prince Guo is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, which can be seen from his attitude towards Zhen Huan in his previous life.

Concubine Hua looked at Prince Guo deeply and her heart sank suddenly.

Why was it that in this life, the way Prince Guo looked at her was so wrong?

Could it be...

When Concubine Hua thought about it carefully, she was horrified.

When she looked at Prince Guo again, she was met with his burning gaze.

Concubine Hua understood.

She exhaled deeply and smiled helplessly in her heart.

Living a new life has changed the trajectory of some things, so it has also produced different effects.

She looked at Prince Guo deeply, and silently said in her heart, "I'm sorry, I have to use you."

"Of course I want to save my brother, but will the emperor let him go?"

When Prince Guo heard that Concubine Hua was asking for his help, he said in surprise, "Don't worry, your Majesty. There are always more solutions than problems!"

Concubine Hua relaxed her brows slightly, looked at Prince Guo, sighed deeply, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Prince Guo said anxiously, "Your Highness, please speak."

Concubine Hua's eyes were filled with sorrow.

"In fact, I have thought of a way, but it is difficult for me to do it with my own strength."

Upon hearing this, Prince Guo immediately bowed.

"What is the method? Perhaps I can help."

Concubine Hua looked around and remained silent.

Prince Guo also glanced around and understood what Concubine Hua meant.

He turned to Ah Jin and said, "I heard that Concubine Hua has some top-quality Da Hong Pao. You can go and ask for some later."

Ah Jin said, "It's the prince."

Concubine Hua looked at the sky and saw a few white clouds floating by. She stood up and Songzhi hurried to support her.

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well. I will take my leave first."

Prince Guo nodded, "Have a good time, Madam."

He gave A Jin a look, and A Jin immediately followed Song Zhi.

"Aunt, wait for me!"

Looking at Concubine Hua's receding back, Prince Guo's lips curled slightly.

She finally opened up to herself.

Half an hour later, Prince Guo sat in the carriage on the way back to the palace, staring at the small medicine bottle in his hand.

The carriage made rumbling sounds along the long palace road. Prince Guo lifted the curtain and looked toward the blue sky with deep eyes.

----

Day two.

In the Yangxin Palace, Prince Guo stood in front of the emperor with a smile on his face.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Your calligraphy has reached a new level. I can't even catch up with you!"

The emperor placed his pen on the inkstone, picked up the written paper with both hands, looked at it carefully, and nodded.

"good!"

Prince Guo pointed at the characters in the air and said, "This stroke is vigorous and powerful, and it is so free and unrestrained. Without five or six years of practice, I can't achieve that."

The emperor was very pleased to hear this and laughed out loud.

He put the paper down again, sat back on the dragon throne, and looked at Prince Guo with a smile.

"Old Seventeen, tell me, what's the matter?"

Prince Guo bowed slightly and clasped his hands towards the emperor.

"Nothing much. When Nian Gengyao was still a general, he took a fancy to one of my ancient zithers. He was extremely powerful at the time, so I dared not refuse to give it to him. Now that he has become a prisoner, I want to ask him to return it."

The emperor smiled and felt relieved.

"I thought it was a big deal. Why did you go to such lengths to please me just because of a harp?"

Prince Guo grinned and said, "I am afraid that I may break the rules, so I have to ask for your permission, my brother!"

"Okay, Nian Gengyao is in prison, you better be careful." The emperor nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, brother." Prince Guo bowed and walked out.

Prison Department of Punishment.

The prisoners here are also divided into different levels.

The more heinous the crime, the further inside you have to go, and the tighter the security.

As Nian Gengyao was once a great general and first-class duke, he was naturally imprisoned.

"Nian Gengyao, someone is here to see you!"

Nian Gengyao, who was sitting in the corner, became very nervous when he heard someone coming to see him.

Is the deadline coming?

He looked over and saw Prince Guo, dressed in gorgeous clothes, striding towards him.

"Prince Guo?" Nian Gengyao was puzzled.

I don't have much in common with Prince Guo, so why would he come to visit me?

Prince Guo stopped and glanced quickly at Nian Gengyao, and found that the once majestic General Nian had turned into a skinny, white-haired old man in a short period of time.

He was surprised inwardly, but his face showed no emotion.

"This king wants to ask you for something."

Nian Gengyao was confused, "What is that?"

Prince Guo said, "Do you still remember the day when you rode into the city on your tall horse? I had a guqin with me."

Nian Gengyao frowned and recalled carefully in his mind.

Suddenly, he remembered.

At that time, Prince Guo was also riding a horse, and his servant carried a guqin on his back.

Nian Gengyao defeated Lobsang Danjin at that time and was very proud of himself. He looked down on everyone.

This is especially true for a prince like Prince Guo who has no real power.

So, when he saw the guqin carried by Prince Guo's servant, he wanted to ask for it.

I thought Prince Guo would not allow it, but unexpectedly, after a brief hesitation, he asked the servant to give me the guqin.

"I was not appreciative that day, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Nian Gengyao stood up and bowed to Prince Guo.

Prince Guo strode forward and helped Nian Gengyao up.

"Time has passed, and I no longer care about it. But where is the ancient zither now?"

Nian Gengyao clenched his fists and looked at Prince Guo with a forced smile.

"If I remember correctly, it should still be in my house. If Your Majesty wants to get it, you can go and get it."

Although Nian Gengyao was imprisoned, the emperor did not take back his house in the capital.

"Okay, I'll send someone to get it right away. Goodbye!"

Prince Guo nodded slightly to Nian Gengyao, then turned and left.

"Goodbye, Your Highness!" Nian Gengyao bowed slightly towards his receding back.

The surroundings returned to silence again. Nian Gengyao returned to the corner he had been in. He glanced around and made sure that no one was looking at him before he slowly opened his palm.

When he saw clearly what it was, his pupils shrank slightly.
