There was no light in the prison and the gloom made people lose hope.
Most of the people who shared the same prison with Jun Yeyan were heinous and would be subjected to capital punishment.
Of course, these people didn’t care whether there was light in this prison. Although they were imprisoned here, there were solid shelters and food which they had never had outside. So even if they were in such a cage, they also ate, drank and slept.
Because they all knew lives like this would end one day so they could still enjoy it now. They didn’t hesitate to enjoy it. When they died, they wouldn’t be able to feel the world.
For them, perhaps killing was not what they wanted, let alone their choice.
Maybe they killed a life with their own hands to have a full meal. They knew clearly that they were wrong, but they also knew that either they died or someone else died. Since they didn’t want to die, someone else would die.
When they killed the first person and no one told them what was right or wrong, they were already on the wrong path.
They could only go to the end of such a road until the day they died.
All the death row prisoners around looked at Jun Yeyan but they had no intention of provoking him.
In the eyes of these death row prisoners, they were already regarded as heinous people. Perhaps anyone of them walking out of here would make people feel fear.
But now they were all so insignificant in front of Jun Yeyan. Jun Yeyan was just like this in this prison and he made them feel a sense of danger.
Such a breath told them that they couldn’t mess with the person in front of them anyway. They also couldn’t afford to mess with such a person.
Jun Yeyan was not interested in the observation of these people. A little mouse ran by in front of him. Jun Yeyan opened his eyes and closed his eyes again.
It was as if nothing could bring up his interest.
Dressed in gorgeous clothes, Jun Yeyan was quite out of place in this prison. But in such an environment, he did not even frown. On the contrary, he made people feel confused.
At least, the secret spies sent by Jun Wuhen felt so.
On this side, Jun Wuhen quickly returned to the Imperial Palace and summoned many officials to hold a series of mourning for Bai Qiwei’s death and discussed the method of dealing with Jun Yeyan who murdered Bai Qiwei.
Some ministers thought that Jun Yeyan behaved like this. He must be beheaded. It was said that if the emperor broke the law, he would be punished like the common people. Although Jun Yeyan was a royal person, he knew the law and broke the law. His crime was even more unpardonable.
Some ministers firmly believed that Jun Yeyan must be beheaded.
On the other hand, some ministers tried their best to defend for Jun Yeyan. They said that evidence was not enough, and a good man couldn’t be wronged.
Although Jun Yeyan was suspected of killing Bai Qiwei, it couldn’t prove that he was the real murderer. Some ministers demanded that the case should be thoroughly investigated to exonerate Jun Yeyan.
Jun Wuhen did not expect that when he was not aware of it, many of his ministers had already succumbed to Jun Yeyan.
This was something he had never thought of and it was what he had been most worried about.
Before his father died, he warned him not to be unfavorable to Jun Yeyan and not to give him any strength. More often, he could leave him alone.
Because even father did not understand Jun Yeyan’s thoughts.
At that time, he asked his father why he didn’t exile Jun Yeyan. Father only said that he owed him too much and couldn’t make up for him.
So, when he died, he also made Jun Wuhen to swear that if Jun Yeyan had no intention of rebellion, he would not be allowed to be disadvantageous to Jun Yeyan.
Although he was often tyrannical and bossy and often paid attention to his desire for pleasure, he didn’t really want to kill Jun Yeyan.
He just wanted to control him. Even though Jun Yeyan had no real power, he was still uneasy in his heart. As long as Jun Yeyan existed for a day, he felt that his throne was not stable enough.
So, he once caused all kinds of trouble to embarrass him and even made him to marry Bai Aoxue.
Poisoning or murder was not enough to expose him. He comforted himself that he did not use his power to oppress Jun Yeyan, but he had already done so.
He just didn’t want to admit it.
He thought that if Jun Yeyan could come back alive from the Nanyue Dynasty this time, he would let Jun Yeyan go and let him continue to be a lazy Prince as long as he did not ask anything.
But he did not expect that as soon as Jun Yeyan came back, he felt uneven for Ye Zhaojue and changed greatly.
At this time, he also realized the crisis. He was not the cub he used to be. In these years, when he indulged in pleasure, the cub had grown up and became his real threat.
Jun Wuhen quickly awakened to the truth and regretted it in his heart. And he had become more ruthless at the same time!
In any case, Jun Yeyan must die three days later. It couldn’t be stopped by anyone!
So, when some ministers were trying to stop it now, Jun Wuhen’s face darkened and was ugly but he was silent and listened to the arguments of the ministers below.
Jun Wuhen clapped the dragon chair angrily and said loudly, “That’s enough! I have made a decision. You can’t stop it!”
And this sound also had the effect of shock and awe. A group of ministers who were discussing and almost went into a fight temporarily stopped each other’s fierce remarks.
Jun Wuhen looked at the ministers below and said coldly, “There is irrefutable evidence that 5th Prince Jun Yeyan killed Prime Minister Bai Qiwei. No matter how much you don’t want to accept it, you must accept it. Even if he is my brother, I will not be lenient because of this. Three days later, Jun Yeyan will be beheaded at noon.”
As soon as a group of ministers heard what Jun Wuhen said, some of them snickered incessantly while some of them frowned in an instant and became anxious.
Jun Wuhen raised his hand to rub his eyebrows and eyes and softly said, “This can also be regarded as an explanation that I give to you. An explanation to Prime Minister Bai. Don’t let Prime Minister Bai die unsteadily.”
There was some tiredness in his words.
A minister stepped out of the line and said loudly, “Emperor, you can’t do this.”
He was followed by several ministers with the same words.
Jun Wuhen saw the situation. He frowned and said in a low voice, “I am tired. There is no need to discuss it anymore at this time.”
The little Li who saw the situation on the sidelines also sharply said, “End the court.”
Jun Wuhen left. All the ministers who supported Jun Yeyan were a little angry at this moment. They looked at each other and knew what was going on. Then they left quickly.
Jun Wuhen left and went to the imperial study instead of going to Luoyan.
Jun Yeyan walked to the desk and slightly asked, “Where is Zhaoye?”
Little Li heard Jun Yeyan’s questioning and answered carefully, “Emperor. Lord Zhaoye said that something needs to be dealt with. He will surprise you when he comes back.”
As soon as Jun Wuhen heard little Li’s words, he frowned slightly. What was the idea of Zhaoye? However, since he said there was a surprise, he looked forward to it.
On this side, Bai Aoxue followed Zhaoye back and forth along a dark path.
It was so quiet here that she could even hear her own breathing.
In such an environment, Bai Aoxue had to be highly nervous. She was afraid that she would be accidentally trapped or attacked by someone.
If she had been an ordinary person, she would not have been able to bear it. But she was Bai Aoxue. There was nothing impossible for her.
Zhaoye gradually slowed down. Bai Aoxue became more vigilant.
She didn’t expect that Zhaoye only lit a flame and continued to walk.
Bai Aoxue saw the road ahead more clearly with the light. This was a secret channel, but it was not narrow at all.
Looking at the light in the distance, Bai Aoxue felt that it was the end.
As she expected, Zhaoye went to the light and stopped. When he was about to turn around, Bai Aoxue quickly hid in the dark.
“Lord Zhaoye.” When the man guarding the secret door saw that the comer was Zhaoye, he shouted in a low voice.
Zhaoye nodded and said, “What about the people inside?”
“Half-dead. He still has one breath left.” The man guarding the secret door spoke in a flat tone with indifference.
Zhaoye nodded and said, “I’ll go in and have a look. You keep watching.”
As soon as the two people heard it, they slightly staggered their bodies to let Zhaoye go in. After Zhaoye went in, they still kept a strict watch.
As soon as Bai Aoxue listened to the dialogue of the three people in the dark, she was very anxious and worried. Her heart beat so fast that she felt a little abnormal.
But she was sure that no matter who was inside, she would go in and have a look. Even if such an idea would put her in danger, she must go in and have a look.
If… If there was no accident, the person inside must be the one they were trying to look for.
He must be her uncle—Ye Zhaojue.
Bai Aoxue secretly observed the two gatekeepers. She looked at the two people’s breathing rate and the verve when they acted and came to a conclusion in her heart.
Neither of these two people could be easily dealt with. But if she fought with them fiercely, people inside were bound to hear the noise and it would not be a good thing if Zhaoye found out at that time.
But if she wanted to kill the two people and didn’t let Zhaoye notice, it would take some effort.
Lifting the sleeve, Bai Aoxue looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand which was the poisonous powder she still had in her hand. Regardless of success or failure, this poisonous powder was not enough for her to squander.
Her slender fingers were stained with a little poisonous powder. Bai Aoxue looked down and saw a mouse running past her. Bai Aoxue did not hesitate at all and caught the mouse.
The mouse was infected with poisonous powder and struggled violently and died in a moment. Bai Aoxue sprinkled the powder on the mouse. She looked at the two gatekeepers and threw the mouse out without hesitation.
When the mouse was thrown out, she also moved.
She galloped past against the wall.
The two gatekeepers noticed a noise and saw a small thing speeding over. They thought it was a hidden weapon, but they did not dodge it. They waved their swords and wanted to knock it down.
But when they cut through the hidden weapon, they found that it was a dead mouse. The blood of the mouse spattered on the man’s skin. For a moment, the man’s skin was on fire and the pain went into his heart.
Another man noticed the abnormality of his companion. When he wanted to ask, he felt that his neck was cut by a cold dagger!
