Chapter 8 The Lonely and Proud Prince · The Elegant Taifu

"Luo doesn't know what to correct. It's just that without the addition of the prince today, Luo's position as prime minister has always been very stable... Moreover, Luo has sworn that he will not betray His Royal Highness. The prince's invitation, Luo There is nothing I can do, I wish the prince can get his wish as soon as possible."

"You..." Zhou Jinhao was momentarily blocked by Luo Jin and had nothing to say.Threats are useless, but lures are useless, Luo Jin is an extremely talented minister, enjoying all the glory, under one person... At least for now, the fourth prince has not been able to give suitable conditions.

"I don't know what to do!"

The fourth prince not only did not get any benefit from Prime Minister Luo, but also got angry.

It would be great if Luo Jin can be brought under his command, but he is not the only one.In the final analysis, Zhou Jinhao was simply jealous of what the crown prince Zhou Jinchen had.Whether it is the trust of Emperor Xuan of Zhou, the position of heir of the Great Zhou, or the company and protection of Luo Jin in front of him.

Why does Zhou Jinchen have something he doesn't have.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been surrounded by Zhou Jinchen's halo, living completely in the shadow of his light.There is obviously not much difference in age, but the treatment is heaven and earth.One took the position of prince and concentrated a lot of power, but the other had to rely on 'smiling' to survive.

If Zhou Jinhao could exchange identities with Zhou Jinchen, then he would rather look like a prince all day long.

Zhou Jinhao hated Zhou Jinchen to death, and even more hated Emperor Zhou Xuan to death.

How unfair is the royal family?At the same age, one became a prince, but the other didn't take the throne. God knows how much work he has spent for his current title of prince?

If Luo Jin knew what the fourth prince was thinking now, she would probably laugh out loud.

Why can't one or two princes be satisfied?How many years ago, the prince also complained in front of him that Emperor Xuan of Zhou was "treated" unfairly.

Emperor Zhou Xuan was a good emperor, but not a good father.

Just like what Luo Jin said before, Emperor Xuan of Zhou really expected too much of the crown prince Zhou Jinchen, but for the fourth prince Zhou Jinhao... he felt guilty and gave him more favor.

Because Emperor Zhou Xuan was ashamed of the birth mother of the fourth prince, which is the same as the father's debt to the son, so Emperor Zhou Xuan also chose "mother benevolent to the child" to deliver the guilt in his heart.

Regarding the guilt in Emperor Zhou Xuan's heart, the fourth prince had been digesting it well before.With the external 'gentle' temperament, he really performed a good show of father's kindness and son's filial piety.

It's no wonder that Emperor Xuan of Zhou and the crown prince had a strange relationship. May I ask, in front of older people, who is more gentle, humble and reticent?

The fourth prince who was burning with anger suddenly laughed, his feminine face looked very strange.He sighed and walked forward, squatting beside Luo Jin who was kneeling on the ground, reached out and tugged the chain behind him that was connected to the iron ring, as if to confirm the degree of firmness.

"The prime minister knows... what kind of place is this?"

How does he know?

A small citizen abides by the law and fulfills his duties. If it weren't for this accident, he wouldn't even know where the prison is.

Asked in one sentence, smiled and watched Luo Jin remain silent as expected, Zhou Jinhao asked himself and explained: "This is the place where traitors were specially detained and punished in the Great Zhou Dynasty. And the place where Prime Minister Luo lived This room...is a water prison."

Hearing this, Luo Jin trembled first, then raised her head and stared fiercely at the fourth prince, her face turned pale instantly.

"I just heard a few words from Steward Fu of the East Palace... I didn't expect it to be true." Zhou Jinhao's eyes darkened, and he turned his head to signal, and the attendant who accompanied him opened the mechanism.

"In the water prison, the cold water soaked and invaded his body. The tortured person could not sit or sleep, and was exhausted. Finally... fell to the ground and suffocated to death. This king is kind, and I can't bear to torture my former teacher so rudely. , I just want to give the teacher a good time."

So tying him like this meant drowning him directly?

After finishing speaking, the fourth prince stood up again, looked at Luo Jin and smiled back a few steps, and went up the steps.

Within a few words, the beast heads on both sides had spit out water jets.The sound of running water became louder and louder. Luo Jin turned her head and looked over. The stone beast heads on the left and right, turned from a trickle to a gush.

In a panic, he didn't notice another person coming down from the steps. That person roughly tied a cloth strip in front of Luo Jin's eyes to block his sight, and immediately poured a bucket of cold water on his face.

It was the harvest season, a bucket of cold water came down, and the white thin shirt was soaked, revealing the luster of the skin inside.The cold cell was even more unbearable.

However, compared to this, what made Luo Jin unbearable the most was the infinitely expanding sound of running water.

Lip color and complexion turned pale together, Adam's apple slipped, restless.The strips of cloth soaked in water cling to her eyes, making Luo Jin feel a strange sense of suffocation while being blind.

Completely blocking the line of sight, Luo Jin had no idea where the water was going.The bound hands clenched unconsciously, and the fear from the unknown was the most terrifying.

The unforgettable feeling of suffocation and helplessness left in his mind when this body was young almost swallowed him.His teeth were clenched tightly, and his body was still trembling uncontrollably. The calm look he had just now had long since disappeared under the spread of fear.

Sitting on the top and watching the good show, the fourth prince finally felt better when he saw Luo Jin's downcast appearance.Seeing others suffer, the fourth prince seemed to have eliminated the exhaustion of the day and the fear of the unknown, and even poured himself a cup of tea leisurely.

The smile he showed didn't last long, and a soldier stumbled into the outside, and knelt down in front of the fourth prince with a plop.Panting heavily, he said in a panic: "My lord, no, it's not good, the outside of the city has been surrounded by the prince's soldiers and horses, and the middle gate... has been lost..."

"What did you say?" Zhou Jinhao stood up all of a sudden, with an expression of disbelief, and even the cup of tea he just poured was pushed to the ground.

"The middle gate and the guards of the middle gate are surrounded by the prince's people... The situation is urgent, and our preparations are not complete. The prince and the prince's people brought the army to the city gate, so we didn't check for a while..."

Before the soldier could finish speaking, Zhou Jinhao raised the knife and ended the soldier's life.

The matter of forcing the palace was indeed prepared hastily, and it was because of this that he was caught off guard.

I thought that after the dust settled and ascended the throne, even if Zhou Jinchen led troops back to the court, he would be able to mobilize the central and eastern troops to resist.I thought that there was alien invasion on the northwest border, Zhou Jinchen would not take the risk of losing ground and fight him with all his strength...

I thought the worst result would be two points for Da Zhou, but I didn't expect Zhou Jinchen to come back so quickly.

It's not too late, nothing is too late... It shouldn't be like this!This should not be the result!

It was just temporarily stabilizing the situation in the capital and blocking the news. He didn't even take that step to force the palace and told him that the prince's troops had arrived. How could this be possible!

Now the military power in the hands of the fourth prince Zhou Jinhao is far from enough to match the tens of thousands of troops brought by the prince.

After the panic, he realized that he had no way to retreat, a look of madness flashed across the eyes of the fourth prince, he didn't have time to pay attention to Luo Jin in the water prison, raised his long sword, shouted and rushed out.

……

The bustling prison cell fell into silence again, and the fence where the guards were standing just now was empty, but Luo Jin, who was in a panic, had no time to pay attention to and understand the situation above.

Both legs were numb from kneeling long ago, he hadn't eaten for a long time, and his body was also very weak.I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on until the water reaches the top, and he will fall down and drown in the water.

I tried over and over again, trying hard to calm down, but I still couldn't suppress the fear that came from my heart.

The cold body could no longer feel the spread of the water, and the chain behind him shook, and the sound was diluted by the water.The visual aids are lost, and the auditory senses come to the fore.In addition to the sound of running water, what filled my ears was my own heartbeat.

Time flowed little by little, and I don't know how long it took, the water surface seemed to have risen to the chest.

Wet and cold, quiet, different from what I imagined in my mind, now I have a real sense of suffocation.While her thoughts were flustered, she became unsteady, Luo Jin's knees tilted, and her whole body fell into the water.

"Cough cough..."

The feeling of the water spreading and head-on is very uncomfortable.After struggling many times and choking on water, he was able to stand up again.It was also applying cold water to the face that made Luo Jin wake up again.

The more inescapable adversity is, the easier it is to inspire people's survival ideas and overcome all fears.

It turned out that death was so close.

Pulling the chain behind him hard, the underwater resistance is extremely large.Maybe it's still too late?Anyway, Luo Jin didn't want to die yet.

The position of prime minister has only been occupied for a few days, and before his death, Prime Minister Liang promised to take care of the Liang family. Liang Qi's grandson always offends people because of his reckless personality; moreover... Zhou Jinchen is about to return to court.

After three years of fighting, it was not easy to meet each other, and I even served as a welcome job from Emperor Zhou Xuan who was bedridden...

Taking a deep breath, he buried himself under the water against the fear in his heart.Luo Jin's eyes were tightly blocked, so she could only cooperate with the movements of her hands as much as possible, cooperate with the maximum movements of her hands bound behind her, and tried hard over and over again, trying to break the chain.

The already weak body could not withstand many tosses.The underwater resistance is too great, and Luo Jin's posture is not easy to exert force.The water level rose and spread to the neck, exhausted, and finally gave up.

It was the first time I was close to death, but the panic at the beginning was gone. In this case, I finally overcame the fear of 'water', but it was useless for me to break free and escape.

I can't complete the task, and I don't know what will happen to me.I just nodded without asking for details, who knows what will happen later?

He raised his face to the roof above and tried his best to keep his breath flowing.Now Luo Jin was left with exhaustion, heavy eyelids, and chills all over. He didn't know whether what was waiting for him was immediate death or a reunion with the blue-eyed boy?

The animal head spitting water seemed to have been submerged under the water, and the sound of the water hitting the surface of the water disappeared at some point in the cell.The cold water that spread to his jaw completely extinguished Luo Jin's desire to survive.

Shaky, unconscious.

I wish I could just fall asleep like this...
