HLnovel Chapter 1359
Chapter 1359
Take Wei Wu, for example. Did he really commit a crime? No, he was only thrown in because he was playing along with the emperor.
People in this situation are not sent to the imperial prison to suffer, so there must be a special room for this kind of situation.
On the other side, Wei Wu finally smiled when he heard Mao Xiang's words.
"Okay, your words are enough."
After speaking, Wei Wu looked at Zhu Biao and openly criticized Zhu Yuanzhang without any attempt to hide his true feelings.
"Brother, as soon as there are results outside, come and pick me up immediately. I can't rely on Uncle Zhu, I can only rely on you!"
Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Mao Xiang was also startled, but he was somewhat accustomed to the way Wei Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang interacted.
Xie Dexin, however, was different. He was shocked to hear that Wei Wu dared to speak ill of the emperor, especially in front of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
The young imperial guard's back was immediately soaked with cold sweat, and his legs even began to tremble uncontrollably.
"These...these are words that a lowly Imperial Guard like myself should be listening to?!"
Fortunately, none of the people present paid attention to him, a nobody, so no one noticed anything unusual about him.
On the other side, Zhu Biao burst into laughter upon hearing Wei Wu's words.
He knew the way his father and Wei Wu got along; the two of them were like children, always trying to make the other suffer.
This time, Wei Wu clearly suffered a loss, which explains why he said his father was unreliable as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, Zhu Biao thought the same way. Compared to his father, he felt that he was more reliable.
So after Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately made his own promise.
"Don't worry, the matter is settled. If Dad still wants to frame you, I'll break you out of prison if I have to!"
Upon hearing Zhu Biao's promise, Wei Wu gave him a thumbs-up without hesitation.
"Dude, that's outrageous!!"
"what?"
Zhu Biao had expected Wei Wu to say something nice, but instead he heard Wei Wu urinate, which left him somewhat taken aback.
Wei Wu knew that Zhu Biao couldn't understand the Northeastern dialect of later generations, so he explained it to him.
"That's what I said back then. It meant that my older brother was amazing, generous, righteous, and heroic!"
"Haha, I see. You're right. Your older brother is just a bit of a jerk. Alright, I'll head back to the East Palace now."
Zhu Biao responded with a laugh, then turned and left the prison without lingering there.
After Zhu Biao left, Mao Xiang gave a few instructions to the Embroidered Uniform Guards guarding the imperial prison and also left, leaving only Xie Dexin to accompany Wei Wu.
Subsequently, under Xie Dexin's guidance, Wei Wu arrived at a prison with a rather pleasant environment.
This place is not only clean and well-lit, but also has beds and tables and chairs. It is nominally a prison cell, but it is more like a side room.
The key thing is that there is no damp smell like in other prisons here; there is even a faint sandalwood scent in the air.
So much so that when Wei Wu came in, he couldn't help but look at Xie Dexin and ask a question.
"The difference between this cell and the other cells is too great! I've been to the Imperial Prison so many times, and I never knew there was such a place."
"Not only is it furnished with a bed, but you can't even smell a trace of dampness. I would believe it if you called it a meditation room."
Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Xie Dexin responded with a respectful smile:
“For Lord Duke of Huiguo, this kind of prison is specially prepared for people in your situation, so the environment cannot be too bad.”
“Every day, a fixed person comes to sprinkle lime, then cleans it up, and incense is lit every day.”
Although Xie Dexin didn't go into too much detail, Wei Wu understood what he meant; that's just how things are in officialdom.
After bringing Wei Wu to the new cell, Xie Dexin had his own things to do, so he left after a simple bow.
Looking at the empty prison cell, Wei Wu couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and plopped down next to the table.
