"Xuan Ling! It's Old Cheng who harmed you!"
Cheng Yaojin looked at Fang Xuanling with a vexed expression.
If he hadn't listened to Fang Xuanling's advice, the two of them wouldn't have been captured alive by Li Chengyuan's subordinates and were now locked up in the Great Zhou Heavenly Prison.
"I wasn't firm enough then. We don't have much time left, so there's no point in saying more." Fang Xuanling said bitterly.”
Cheng Yaojin lowered his head.
They had just heard the jailer's conversation. Li Chengyuan was preparing to hold a beheading ceremony tomorrow!
And the two of them were the criminals who were beheaded!
Thump!
At this moment, a sound came from the cold and damp cell passage.
The two of them subconsciously became nervous. They looked at the torture instruments around them and looked at each other. They might not have a good life before they died!
After a while, a figure and the sound of footsteps appeared in the passage.
The two of them looked up and were a little puzzled.
Her figure was graceful. One look and one could tell that she was a woman. Could it be that the criminal officer of the Great Zhou was also a woman?
After the figure appeared, Cheng Yaojin and the other man saw the woman's graceful and beautiful face.
The two of them were dumbfounded. They even stopped breathing for a moment.
There was only one voice left in his mind.
Why the Empress?
The two's minds went blank. They only gradually recovered after Zhangsun Wugou called the guards and the others away.
"What's wrong with you guys? He was actually captured?"
Zhangsun Wugou looked at the two people in a daze and asked in puzzlement.
Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling looked at each other in dismay, and finally asked in unison,""Empress! What was going on? How did they…"
Zhangsun Wugou's expression froze. Her phoenix eyes narrowed as she snappily told him how she had entered the cell.
Only then did Fang Xuanling and the other two realize what was going on and lowered their heads in shame.
Because of their defeat, the Empress had to sacrifice herself to save them.
When Zhangsun Wugou saw the two of them looking ashamed, he asked,""BenGong just asked you, why were you captured?”
At this point, Cheng Yaojin's face became even more ashamed.
He covered his face and said," This time, I was careless. I didn't send any scouts to scout the way. On the way, I was ambushed by Li Chengyuan's army. One of the generals was very brave and defeated me in three moves. He led the army to charge and killed all the soldiers! We, we were also captured."
Zhangsun Wugou nodded slightly. He wasn't too surprised.
Although she had never seen the White Robe Army in action, the quality of the White Robe Army had surpassed all the armies she had seen when they were on their way.
Even the black-armored army that Second Brother trusted the most was not as powerful as the white-robed army.
Cheng Yaojin's 30,000 elites had been ambushed and their commander had been killed. Naturally, they could not defeat Li Chengyuan's white-robed army.
Zhangsun Wugou saw Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling's ashamed expressions and couldn't help but comfort them,""Don't blame yourself. Chengyuan's army is indeed very powerful.”
Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and said,"His soldiers are indeed very strong!"”
"I died with regrets. I've let Your Majesty down!" Fang Xuanling sighed again. I'm sorry, Empress!"
Speaking of which, she was the one who had really let Second Brother down.
If she hadn't cooperated with Li Chengyuan, Tuyuhun wouldn't have been defeated so easily and wouldn't have ended up like this.
However, regret could not change reality. He had to find a way to solve the problem.
Zhangsun Wugou took a deep breath and said," The Japanese Imperial Palace has been staying in the Imperial Palace for the past few days. We found a map in the Fuyun Khagan's consort's bedchamber. It records the secret passage to escape from the imperial prison!”
Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling stood up as if they had been given a sharp warning. They looked at Zhangsun Wugou excitedly.
Zhangsun Wugou didn't keep them in suspense. He hurriedly took out a map and handed it to the two of them."Follow the map. When the time comes, you can escape through the secret passage outside the city!”
Fang Xuanling took the map and hesitated.
"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling gritted his teeth. This old minister will definitely help you explain to His Majesty!”
No matter how stupid Cheng Yaojin was, he also reacted at this time. He also said,"Empress! If His Majesty was angry! I will stop you with my life!"
Zhangsun Wugou pursed his lips.
She was actually betting too. If she made the right bet, Chengyuan would not be so ruthless to her.
As for Second Brother's anger…
Perhaps it would not burn the Great Zhou Dynasty in a short period of time. Moreover, she had a way to divert Second Brother's anger.
Zhangsun Wugou said," You don't have to worry. I have my own countermeasures. Chengyuan won't do anything to me!"”
"As for second brother, bengong also has a way to divert his attention!”
Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up.
The Empress was indeed worthy of being called a virtuous wife and the future mother of the country by His Majesty.
How could he remain so calm in this situation?
However, what made them curious was…
Now, the conflict between Li Chengyuan and the Emperor could no longer be resolved, and the Emperor's hatred for Li Chengyuan was even more terrifying.
There seemed to be no other way to divert the Emperor's anger towards Li Chengyuan.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what method is it?" Fang Xuanling hurriedly asked.”
Zhangsun Wugou turned around and looked at the passageway.
