"Prince Qi?" Eunuch Yu frowned and said, "It's hard to say. The prince has gone far this time and will not be able to come back for a while."

He looked at me and said: "If you want to wait for the prince to come back to intercede for you, why not say a few soft words in front of the emperor! This time is different from the last time in the cold palace."

When I mentioned Leng Gong, I was in a daze for a while.

At that time, it was so similar to now. I was so dejected that I wanted to die, but Pei Yuanfeng barged in and saved me desperately.

Recalling that morning, when he saw Pei Yuanhao making peace with me, he told me that if the emperor attacked me again, he must tell him. At that time, he was just sad and felt sorry for him, but he did not expect at all.

Damn it, I actually ended up in this situation.

Or, in fact, Pei Yuanfeng sees more clearly and thoroughly than I do, but I am blind.

Thinking of this, I smiled weakly and said softly: "Eunuch Yu, if the prince comes back, please help me bring a message to the prince."

"What words?"

"You tell the prince, no matter what happens to me, I must not forget my original intention of staying. What you want to do and what dreams you want to realize should be decided by yourself. Don't let other people affect your own path. In the end, it will just be

All in vain."

Eunuch Yu listened without saying a word and nodded gently.

"Also, can I trouble Eunuch Yu to give me some silver for Shuixiu?" I smiled and said, "She has been with me for so long and has only endured hardship. I don't have much savings, and I have twenty taels of silver stuffed in the pillow where I live.

Tickets, this time I went south with some seven or eight taels of silver, and my father-in-law rewarded her for my trouble. In the palace, the aunt in the imperial kitchen still owes me five taels, so several of your young eunuchs are here.

I have experienced the autumn wind here. If you can come back, please don’t be too little, father-in-law.”

Eunuch Yu's face became darker and darker as he listened. When he heard the last sentence, he looked at me with emotion: "Miss Qing!"

I smiled softly.

He looked a little ugly and said: "Why didn't you listen to a word of what our family just said to you?"

"Eunuch Yu," I said with a chuckle: "You are also very clear about Miss Nangong's status in the heart of the emperor. She has been so wronged this time. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get over it. I don't want it to happen either.

The head is not dead yet."

"You——"

"Eunuch Yu," I struggled to hold myself up, with something hot in my eyes surging, I choked and said, "Qingying will remember your kindness to Qingying. If he can survive, Qingying will definitely survive."

Come down and repay you well in the future."

A glimmer of light also appeared in Eunuch Yu's eyes. His eyes, which had always been deep and narrow, looked at me with a hint of helpless sadness. Finally, he let out a long sigh, turned around and left.

As soon as he left, I slowly leaned back to the corner and closed my eyes sadly.

I fell asleep most of the time in the dungeon, which would not consume too much energy, but when I got hungry, my sleepiness almost turned into a coma.

But this time, the huge sound of unlocking the door still woke me up from the dark night.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the gate of the wooden fence being opened. Several jailers walked in and dragged me up from the ground: "Get up!"

I glanced at them and reluctantly was dragged out by them. Without saying a word, I walked through the long and narrow passage. Some of the prisoners in the cells on both sides looked at me with gloating, and some were full of sympathy.

In front of an iron gate, the gate opened and I was taken in.

It's the torture chamber.

I'm not surprised. They tortured Shuixiu, and of course I was next. We had to compare our confessions to determine the authenticity of the matter.

And when they just tied me to the rack, I said everything I needed to say intermittently.

I knew that Shuixiu couldn't survive the punishment and would definitely tell the truth, but she was a good girl at heart and would not make things jealous, so I also told them everything that happened at the beginning, but those who were executed

They were all stunned, looking at me stupidly, and then looking at each other.

The orders they got were supposed to be execution and cross-examination, so I told them all, but they didn't know how to respond. In the end, they whipped me a few times and asked: "True or false, tell the truth!"
p>

I was in pain, laughing, and fainted.

I don’t remember when I was thrown back into the cell. The whip wounds on my body were burning with pain. It didn’t take long for me to wake up from the pain again. I was lying on the bed of grain and hay, dying, looking at the fish in front of me that was still filled with rancid food.

In the bowl of soup, a mouse ran over cautiously, lay down at the mouth of the bowl and began to eat.

I kept lying there for a long time, and finally gathered some strength, reached out and squeezed the bowl, and the mouse was immediately scared away.

I bit my lower lip and raised the bowl and slapped it on the ground.

With a clang, the bowl shattered, and a fragment fell on my face, which hurt me. I frowned and reached out to pick up the fragment, looking down at the sharp edge.

The jailer heard the noise here, and just as he was about to come over to curse, he heard the sound of the iron door being opened outside, and the guard asked loudly: "Who?"

"I'm here to see the prisoner."

Those people panicked for a moment, and several of them ran over in a hurry.

As soon as I heard this sound, my hand holding the fragments suddenly tightened.

A ray of light seemed to suddenly shine into the dark dungeon, and even the musty air was tinged with the fragrance of flowers. I raised my head with difficulty and saw a water-red skirt slowly floating to the door of the cell.

The voice said: "Open the door."

"This - I'm afraid -"

"I told the emperor that he knew I came to see her."

"...Yes."

The cell door was opened, and the hem of the skirt slowly moved in front of me. After a moment of silence, the voice said: "You guys go down, I want to have a few words with her alone."

"Yes."

Listening to this voice ringing in my ears, I clenched my hands tighter and tighter. The sharp blade dug deeply into my hands. The sting and blood gave me a little strength. I slowly propped myself up and sat up.

In the corner, I looked up and saw that beautiful face, looking down at me, just like every time in the past.

Nangong Lizhu, she is here.

The long water-red dress made her skin white, but her face was no longer as pale and stained with blood as before, but showed a healthy blush. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were full of autumn water, her nose was like hanging gallbladder, and her lips were like red cherry blossoms.

She is still so dazzlingly beautiful and so aloof.

But at this moment, there was a hint of sadness on her face. She looked at me for a long time before slightly frowning and saying with a spring willow-like eyebrow: "Are you okay?"

I smiled.

Since she came back, I have been beaten, imprisoned, and tortured. The expression I make the most is smile, all kinds of smiles. At this time, I also smiled and said: "What are you doing here?"

"Come and see you."

"What do I have to see?"

"..."

She squatted down and looked into my eyes, and seemed to reach out her hand to touch my face involuntarily. There were wounds on her hands, and there were wounds on my face too. It hurt so much that I hurriedly avoided her hands. She

The fingertips stopped there, but still looked at me and said: "You... are really beautiful."

I laughed again.

This is not the first time she has heard this sentence said, but at this time, when it came out of her mouth, there was an indescribable irony.

But she didn't seem to be aware of it. She still looked at my face and murmured: "You are very good-looking, and you know how to read and write. You have such a good temperament and manners. No wonder you can make him even in his dreams -

”

My eyelashes trembled slightly and I looked at her. She didn't say any more, but her eyes softened by spring water became slightly colder.

A light seemed to flash in my heart.

"What are you doing here?"

"I said, I just came to see you. I have been wanting to take a good look at you for so long."

"Now that you've seen it, do you feel disappointed?"

"..." She looked at me and said nothing, but I smiled and said, "But I feel a little disappointed."

"Oh? Why are you disappointed?"

I sighed deeply and said: "Although Mo Tieyi and his group are impulsive and reckless, they are not unreasonable. Otherwise, they would not be able to operate in the current situation in the south, and the people in Shengjing would have to travel all the way south to fight with them."

They negotiated. Who knew they would actually take action against you? Not only would they take action, but they would actually make you flee so far with injuries, all the way to the emperor."

I said and looked up at her: "Miss Nangong, don't you think this is disappointing?"

Her face slowly became serious.

The atmosphere in the cell was very depressing. It was so depressing that people were already sad. At this time, it felt even more difficult to breathe. She looked at me for a long time, then slowly came closer to me, speaking so low that only two people could hear her.

The voice said: "However, you did not disappoint me."

"..."

My heart is getting heavier and heavier, and the light is getting brighter and brighter in front of my eyes. Many things seem to be already in front of me.

I suddenly understood something.

She looked down at me, the expression on her face was neither cold nor angry, but very solemn, as if she was giving me a piece of advice, and said: "Yue Qingying, do you know why you are like this?"

"..."

"You shouldn't be too smart, nor should you be too capable."

"..."

I opened my eyes wide and looked at the pair of autumn-like eyes so close at hand, and everything became clear at this moment.

She was not being chased by those people, but because she noticed the interactions between Mo Tieyi and me. She was afraid that those people would be convinced by me, so she resorted to this painful trick and returned to Pei City with wounds all over her body.

By Yuan Hao's side, she knew that Pei Yuanhao would do anything for her, not to mention me; and as soon as Pei Yuanhao took her in, the people on Yao Lao's side would immediately know that the royal family and the people of Shengjing were interacting like this.

, it will definitely make them doubt Pei Yuanhao again!

The sharp blade has penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood, causing me to twitch from my hands to my heart.

But the next moment, she stood up slowly, looked down at me, and said loudly: "You think if you don't let me return to the emperor, no one will know what you did without telling him? What a pity, I will not survive."
