Feng Qiao was stunned when he heard Lingyue's words, and the mood that was still a little awkward disappeared instantly.

She couldn't help frowning tightly when she remembered what had happened when she was with Xiao Quan just now, even when she was defenseless against him, and then she suddenly retreated almost without thinking about him.

Xiao Quan......

How could she?

……

After Xiao Quan left the Yongding Palace, the smile on his face retracted.

He sat in the carriage casually, obviously in an extremely leisurely posture, but against the background of that somewhat indifferent face, he had a luxury that was difficult for others to resist for no reason, so that Ge Qian, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but look at each other frequently.

Xiao Quan didn't seem to notice Ge Qian's gaze, maybe he didn't care at all, he just opened the curtain and looked at the pedestrians on the street for a while, then directly put it down and closed his eyes and sat in the carriage, as if he was taking a nap.

After the snow, it was not easy to walk in Beijing, and the carriage stopped and went in the snow, and it took nearly a stick of incense before the carriage stopped in front of the Imperial Prison.

When Xiao Quan wrapped his cloak to hide his appearance and entered, someone immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Who are you?

Darklin stepped forward, holding a token in his hand: "We are here to visit the prison on the order of the prince of Yongding." ”

The jailer looked at the sign representing the Yongding Palace in Dark Lin's hand, and hurriedly took a half step back.

Now in this capital, who doesn't know that the Liao family of Yongding Mansion is tilted towards the government and the opposition, Liao Chuxiu holds the power of the three armies, and even His Majesty almost abdicated because of his persecution and gave way to the crown prince.

The man hurriedly whispered, "The little one has seen the nobleman, but the person inside...... The prince had instructed that no one should be allowed to visit. ”

Darklin put away the sign and said to him: "The prince knows about this matter, if you have any inquiries, you can just say it." ”

When the man heard this, he calmed down, smiled at the dark lin, and hurriedly let the other people behind him go.

After the two of them accompanied Xiao Quan inside, they stopped directly near the door.

"Childe, Madam said, let's wait for you outside, Liu Sang-sung is in the innermost prison, after you go, if there is anything, call us. ”

Xiao Quan heard that Dark Lin said that it was Feng Qiao's order, and his eyes were dyed with some warmth, but it was fleeting.

"Good. ”

After nodding to the two, Xiao Quan stepped directly into the passage.

The environment in the edict is not good, and the whole court knows it.

Whether it is the prison of Dali Temple or the prison of the Criminal Department, even if you have committed a crime, as long as you can clear your charges, you can turn over, and it is still possible to get out, but the edict is different.

Those who are imprisoned are all repeat offenders, and once they enter here, they are equivalent to having been convicted, and even if they are not sentenced to death, they will not be able to escape the fate of a distribution in the end.

The skylight was open in the cell, and it was snowing heavily.

The light shone in from the top of the wall, but it was not dim, and you could see the empty cells all around, and you could faintly smell some of the dry grass in the prison on the tip of your nose.

When Xiao Quan walked along the passage to the innermost, he saw Liu Xiangcheng who was imprisoned inside.

Liu Xiangcheng was not tortured, there were no injuries on his body, and he did not even change into prison clothes, he still wore the navy blue robe he wore when he went to Dali Temple that day, but he wore iron handcuffs on his hands and feet, and the chains on them went straight to the wall, binding him to prevent him from committing suicide.

In less than ten days, Liu Xiangcheng's originally only gray hair has turned white, his face has aged a lot, and his thin body is almost out of shape.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Liu Xiangcheng hurriedly raised his head.

He had been locked up for many days, and during that time there was no one but the jailer who brought him something to eat every two days.

The prisons around him were empty, and he was the only one in the entire prison.

Liu Xiangcheng originally thought that Feng Qizhou and Feng Qiao had tried their best to win him, and even stepped on the tricks he thought were clever to push him into the abyss, and they would definitely come to see him.

They will humiliate him, they will beat and scold him, they will torture him, they will force him to confess the sins he did back then, they will make him repent of Xiao Yunsu's spiritual position, and they will do everything that humiliates him, but no, nothing.

They didn't come to him, they didn't torture him, they didn't humiliate him, they didn't even ask him anything about that year, as if they had forgotten him.

They just threw him here, left him alone, and left him to fend for himself in the deepest part of this prison.

Liu Xiangcheng always thought that he was not afraid of anything except the rise and fall of the Liu family, but only now did he understand that he was afraid.

He was afraid of the dark, of loneliness, of silence, and even of the sound of snakes, insects, and plagues crawling under his feet......

Every night, facing the high walls and listening to the cold wind howling outside, he could always remember the things that had happened before.

Those who died because of him, those who died with resentment and even cursed voices...

Liu Xiangcheng hurriedly stood up and said urgently: "Did Feng Qizhou ask you to come?" You go and tell him, let him come to see me, I told him what happened back then, and I told him about Xiao Yunsu...... You asked him to come to me!"

"I know where Xiao Yuanqing went, I know ......"

"You let him come to me, let him come!!"

Xiao Quan stood outside the cell door, watched Liu Xiangcheng chuckle, and after opening the cell door with the key and walking in, he reached out and took off the cloak on his head.

Liu Xiangcheng's eyes widened violently, and the next moment he lost his voice: "It's you!!"

Xiao Quan said lightly: "It's me, Lord Liu, I won't see you for a few days, don't come unharmed?"

Liu Xiangcheng heard Xiao Quan's words, looking at him wearing a brocade fur and being safe and sound, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, his eyes were very wide, and he rushed forward a few steps violently, if it weren't for the iron chain behind him, he couldn't wait to rush up and tear the person standing in front of him alive.

"Xiao Quan, you still dare to come to see me!!"

Xiao Quan saw his angry appearance, and chuckled: "Why is Lord Liu so angry, look at you now that you have fallen into this situation, who else in this world will come to see you besides me, or even give you a ride?"

"Oh...... I can't say the same, someone is still coming to see you off. ”

Xiao Quan seemed to remember something, and said with a low smile: "I just heard the jailer say that Liu Chi died in the prison where you are staying now, it is said that he died with resentment on his face, maybe he will not be gone, just waiting for you in this prison, and when you can't survive one day, I will continue the father-son relationship between you and you underground......"

"Xiao Quan!!"

Liu Xiangcheng's heart trembled, only to feel that the vest was cold.

He thought of his son who died in vain, of the few remaining members of the Liu family, and of the Liu family......

Yoo Sang-sung pulled the chain tightly and roared, "Why? Why are you helping them?"
