Chapter 749 This Old Fox Is Just Pretending to Be Stupid

Emperor Qian Ling took the medicine and rested for half an hour before he felt relieved. At this time, the little eunuch outside suddenly came to report.

Qi Fu went out to listen. When he came in, he looked a little bad.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Qian Ling saw Qi Fu's subtle expression and his face darkened.

Qi Fu hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu, Eunuch Hang, and Mr. Lin went... to Tianlao."

Emperor Qian Ling frowned, thinking of something.

Qi Fu confirmed the answer in the emperor's mind: "I'm going to Tianlao to see Prime Minister Liu..."

What is the relationship between Liucheng and the murder of two princesses and a princess?

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

However, Liucheng was closely involved in the case of Concubine Chang.

If Liucheng has been found, then the clues must have been traced back to Concubine Chang.

Emperor Qian Ling frowned severely. Obviously, this was not what Emperor Qian Ling wanted to see.

Qi Fu has been accompanying him for many years, so he naturally knows the emperor's intentions. He concealed his panic and said: "I will send someone to invite the three of them..."

"No need." Emperor Qian Ling stopped him.

Qi Fu stopped and looked at the emperor with more and more doubts.

After Emperor Qian Ling was silent for a while, a hint of coldness appeared on his old face, and then he just said: "Just wait and see what happens."

Qi Fu didn't dare to disobey, so he had to listen.

On the other side, the Forbidden Palace and the Heavenly Prison.

Liu Wei, accompanied by the jailer, walked step by step towards the underground of the inner cell.

Liu Wei walked very slowly, and the jailer didn't walk fast either. There were only two people in the entire blackened passage, and the sound of footsteps was infinitely amplified in this quiet space, and then amplified again.

"Sir." Halfway through, the jailer turned slightly sideways and said, "The Prime Minister is in the innermost cell, but Your Excellency cannot go there. After a while, Your Excellency will be waiting outside, and I will go and invite the Prime Minister out."

Liu Wei nodded: "Excuse me."

The jailer smiled and said: "What are you talking about, sir? You are the one who is close to the emperor. You should serve the little one. If you are too polite, you will offend the little man."

Liu Wei said nothing more, lowered his eyes, and looked at the tiger order on his waist.

If it weren't for this token, I wouldn't be able to get in here.

As for Mr. Lin and Eunuch Hang, they had no tokens and could only wait outside.

Liu Wei turned around and looked at the layout of the Forbidden Palace dungeon, and then thought of Jing Zhaoyin's cell and Zhenggemen's cell. It had to be said that the gap was indeed not small.

The cell in Zhengemen is tightly guarded and made with exquisite craftsmanship.

Jing Zhaoyin's cell was damp, dark, and dirty.

But this Forbidden Palace dungeon is connected in all directions. If someone hadn't led the way, Liu Wei thought that he might get lost here.

After all, it is the private prison of the Nine-Five Lord. The land is like its owner, and people's hearts are treacherous and changeable, so the dungeon they built is like being evacuated.

Being trapped in a dungeon like this, even if you are given the key to the cell, it is not easy for you to escape.

After walking through several winding corridors, the jailer finally stopped: "Here we are, the adults will wait here, and the little ones will come as they go."

Liu Wei nodded, his eyes unwavering.

The jailer's probing eyes circled Liu Wei twice, then he opened a door and walked in.

When there was one less person around, looking at this deep black hole-like tunnel was even more terrifying than before.

The jailer walked away for a long time, and Liu Wei stood motionless for a long time, until the sound of shuffling footsteps came from a distance.

Liu Wei looked along the source of the sound, which was the door through which the jailer entered just now.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of chains.

Liu Wei lowered his eyes to steady his mind, and soon the door was opened again. Inside, two black silhouettes appeared. When the field of vision became clear, Liu Wei saw clearly that it was the jailer, dragging his hands and feet. The shackled Liucheng was walking out.

The former important ministers of the government and the public are now in a state of wretchedness and embarrassment.

The beard on Liu Cheng's face had not been shaved for an unknown amount of time, and his hair was clumps in. His whole body was dirty and smelled bad.

Liu Wei could never imagine that the master who showed off his power and was under one person in the Liu family would become like this.

Although he was surprised in his heart, Liu Wei didn't show it on his face. He only lowered his head slightly and said: "Master Liu, long time no see."

Liucheng's eyes were very distracted. He had been tortured for a long time and had lost his former sharpness. If he were thrown on the street with this look, he would probably even beggar beggars would stay away. In fact, he looked a little crazy. stay.

Liu Cheng's cloudy eyes looked over and over at Liu Wei, as if he had just recognized this person. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out of his chapped lips.

In the end, Liucheng just looked at Liu Wei and couldn't say a word.

Liu Wei frowned and looked at the jailer: "Has the Prime Minister been punished?"

The jailer shook his head: "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. After the Prime Minister was imprisoned, the Emperor felt his loyalty for many years and ordered us to take care of him again and again. How could we dare to punish the Prime Minister? It's just that in this cold winter, the temperature in the dungeon is changeable. Prime Minister I've been hit by the cold and haven't fully recovered yet, so I'm naturally a little haggard."

Is this considered a bit haggard?

Liu Wei secretly thought, Emperor Qian Ling planned to destroy Liucheng?

Anyone could tell that Liucheng had clearly been tortured.

Liu Wei looked at the jailer and said, "I have something to say and I want to ask the Prime Minister alone."

The jailer looked at Liu Wei's token again, nodded, and then pulled Liu Cheng forward.

Liu Wei saw that the jailer seemed to be leading the former first-class official like a dog, and his eyes darkened.

The jailer took Liucheng to a small cubicle, locked Liucheng inside, and then let Liu Wei in.

As soon as Liu Wei entered, the door was closed from the outside.

Liu Wei looked at the gate made of fine iron, then looked at the solid granite on all sides, and sneered disdainfully in her heart.

Liucheng was sitting opposite, listless and hunched over.

Liu Wei asked: "Prime Minister, can you hear me clearly?"

Liu Cheng slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Wei. After looking at it, he began to be in a daze again.

"I came here today to ask the Prime Minister something. Please tell me the truth."

Liucheng nodded, but the way he nodded showed a stiffness.

Liu Wei turned her head to look in the direction of the door. After looking back, she lowered her voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "It's about Concubine Min."

At this moment, Liucheng's body stiffened, and his pupils, which had been unfocused, suddenly shrank.

At the same moment, the jailer who secretly approached the iron gate to listen had an impatient look on his face because he heard nothing.

"Sir, do you still remember Concubine Min?" Liu Wei continued to ask in the same low voice.

Liu Cheng seemed to have just woken up now, his frozen head slowly turned, and he looked at Liu Wei with deep eyes.

Liu Wei smiled inwardly, knowing that this old fox was just pretending to be stupid. How could he survive to become prime minister, but how could he fall into despair and even become demented because of a period of imprisonment.

"It seems...the Prime Minister knows." Liu Wei said firmly.

However, Liucheng lowered his eyes again and shook his head slowly, indicating that he didn't know and didn't know anything.

Liu Wei made it clear: "The Prime Minister may not be aware of the situation outside. Several months have passed since Concubine Chang's incident. Are you curious about why the Emperor has not released you? This question can be answered. Prime Minister, please clarify one or two doubts."

Liucheng didn't look at this person or his ears, but listened intently.
