Chapter 710 Each other
Wen Qingyan was standing close to the two soldiers guarding him. He was already full of hostility towards Zhou Chang's sudden appearance. After hearing Gao Yuan's attitude, he said proudly: "Don't embarrass them. I will go back with them now."
Although he was wearing old clothes that were torn and dirty that day, it did not affect his tall, slender, handsome and elegant appearance at all.
Zhou Chang saw this through the fence and felt envious, but when he turned his gaze back to Yuan Qi, his envy turned into understanding: "Forget it, Gao Yuan, it's okay for you to let them talk for a while."
Wen Qingyan raised his eyebrows, and that expression showed that he thought he had nothing to say to Zhou Chang, so he turned to Yuan Qi again: "In short, promise me that you will take good care of yourself. As long as you are well, I will have no regrets in this life. As for the things I have done to you, even if I can't repay you in this life, there is still the next life."
Yuan Qiqiu's eyes were filled with sadness: "I know it's not your fault. You don't have to take it to heart. Just take care of yourself. The law will have its own judgment. Don't worry, you will be fine."
After saying this, Yuan Qi turned around without even looking at Zhou Chang, and left quickly.
Wen Qingyan's gaze was still on Yuan Qi.
Gao Yuan waved his hand, signaling the two soldiers to move.
The two soldiers understood and stepped forward, then forcibly pulled Wen Qingyan away.
Zhou Chang watched the two separate and shook his head.
There is no need to act like they are parting ways. Even if they don't say it, she will find a way to keep them together.
As soon as this thought came to my mind, it felt like I was stabbing myself with a knife, and I felt a dull pain in my heart.
At this time Gao Yuan signaled the guards to open the wooden door and welcome him out.
Zhou Chang asked for no apparent reason: "Do they meet like this every day?"
Gao Yuan frowned even more and bowed to apologize: "It was my fault."
Before Zhou Chang fell into a coma, he had repeatedly emphasized that Prince Rong and his party could not have contact with outsiders, but in fact, this did not intend to include Wen Fei.
"It's not your fault. This is a military camp after all. Although you are now a general, it is still Jiang Meng's territory." Zhou Chang regained his composure and didn't care about it. He was only on guard against Prince Rong. "But Prince Rong... we have to keep a close eye on him. It's still a long way back."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Prince Rong is being held in solitary custody, and I have arranged for our people to take turns guarding him." Gao Yuan also knew about Prince Rong's matter, and it was a serious matter, so he went into battle personally.
Zhou Chang nodded in relief: "Don't let him die, and don't let him contact outsiders again. Everything will be easy when we return to Jindu."
"I understand." Gao Yuan replied solemnly.
Zhou Chang had just come here to look for Yuan Qi. Now that Yuan Qi had left, she didn't want to come here for nothing. Since she had mentioned Prince Rong, she also had something to say, so she said, "Lead the way, let me go see how this royal brother lives."
So Gao Yuan took Zhou Chang inside.
Prince Rong was placed in a separate tent at the innermost part.
There are special guards inside and outside, and people are guarding all around to prevent anyone from approaching, which shows that Gao Yuan is very cautious.
Zhou Chang was surprised when he entered the tent.
Prince Rong was sitting on a camp bed with his upper body tied up, and his mouth was also tied with a cloth belt. Ben was half sitting and half leaning on the bed with his eyes closed, and he opened his eyes when he heard the noise.
Seeing that it was Prince Yi, he didn't want to pay any attention to him and closed his eyes again.
There were two people sitting in the corner of the tent, one of them was Chen Yuan from Yidanxing. He should have just recovered from his injury, so he came to take over.
Seeing Zhou Chang come in, the two of them immediately stood up to greet him.
Zhou Chang sighed. She was not happy to see Prince Rong end up like this, and she did not want to humiliate him, so she ordered: "Untie the cloth from his mouth. I want to talk to him for a while."
"Yes." Chen Yuan agreed, and the two of them went up to untie the cloth band on Prince Rong's mouth, but did not loosen the ropes that bound him, and then they withdrew.
Prince Rong did not react at all during the whole process.
Zhou Chang sat opposite him by himself.
Gao Yuan stood on one side to guard against any accidents, while Shouhou stood beside Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang sat opposite and stared at Prince Rong for a long while. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind but didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Prince Rong who broke the silence first, looking up to the sky and laughing: "Hahahaha... God is so blind. I never thought that in the end the world would fall into the hands of a greedy waste like you."
Zhou Chang was not angry, but asked in return: "I am a greedy loser, and you are a hypocrite. Since you care so much about your reputation, why do you do so many shameless things?"
"Why?" Prince Rong raised his voice, his face full of resentment, "They forced me to do this."
"Who forced you?" What Zhou Chang couldn't understand the most was whether Prince Rong had always been like this or changed later.
"Who? Haha..." Prince Rong laughed bitterly, and when he had laughed enough, he glanced at Zhou Chang again, "If the emperor didn't have a legitimate son, he should have appointed me as the eldest son. I am obviously the eldest son and I am both virtuous and talented, but I have not been taken seriously for so many years. Why? Is it because my biological mother was born in a humble family? Do I deserve to be suppressed by those two idiots Feng Rui and Feng Zheng and be humiliated by them?"
On this point, Zhou Chang, as Prince Yi, had nothing much to say.
Prince Rong hit the nail on the head, and sneered, "But you're fine, you only love money and don't care about their humiliation. But I can't. I'm the eldest son of the emperor, and I should have been made the crown prince long ago, but I've always been suppressed by those two. How can I accept this?"
"Even if that's the case." Zhou Chang could still empathize with Prince Rong on this point, but he changed the subject and said, "But even so, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do what you did."
Prince Rong said disdainfully: "You have no ambition and are greedy for money and love leisure, so of course you can't do it. As the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not care about small details. Don't you love to bet with others? I would rather gamble than live in disgrace. Now I just lost the bet, so there is nothing to complain about. You are lucky and won the bet again. In this case, why are you still arguing with me? It's better to let me die."
Zhou Chang had sympathized with this brother, Prince Rong, but he sneered when he heard this: "If you only bet on yourself, others would not say anything. But you used the millions of people of the neighboring country as stakes. Why do you do this? No one is qualified to do this. Now you have lost the bet of others' lives, but you want to die yourself. How can it be that easy?"
Prince Rong's eyes were burning with resentment: "I really regret it. If it weren't for the fact that you came to remind me and wanted to save my life when we were hunting in the palace, I would have refused Wu Feng's advice to me to get rid of you so many times. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up like this today."
"I also regret not seeing your true colors earlier." Zhou Chang retorted, "Now that I think about it, over the years, apart from pretending to be a modest gentleman and often talking about worrying about the country and the people, have you ever done anything practical for the people?"
Having said that, Zhou Chang couldn't help but think of Zhong Yu again.
