In the cold, dark cell, several blazing fires illuminated the gray, damp walls around them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There was an unpleasant musty smell in the air, and Cheng Jinzhi curled up motionless in the corner with his knees in his hands, his eyes staring at the small high window on the wall, as if he was in a desperate situation.

The sunlight stingily penetrated through the cracks in the iron railings of the windows, and cast edge by edge on her pale cheeks, adding to the desolation and despair, and dazzlingly white.

He hoped that he could escape from those low-voiced days, but he didn't expect to fall into hell overnight, be imprisoned, and become a person who was about to be guillotined.

Before the bronze mirror, he was still vividly wearing a wedding dress full of happiness, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Dong's bloody corpse had destroyed all the previous pleasures.

She hated the Zhang family, the Cheng family, and herself.

This life is obviously a long time, but it is over.

"His Royal Highness King Huiyan, this is it. ”

With the sound of unlocking, a familiar figure stepped into the cell door and appeared in front of him.

Cheng Jinzhi glanced up at him indifferently, and buried his head in his knees.

"Bold, I didn't salute when I saw His Royal Highness King Yan!"

The rough-faced cell boss scolded, but Cheng Jinzhi remained indifferent.

Anyway, she is already a dying person, what else is she afraid of?

"You go down first, this king has something to say to Miss Cheng, and you are not allowed to come in without an order. ”

Gao Heng gave an order, and the group all retreated.

"Why, seeing that it's me and not Gu Hanqing, you seem to be disappointed?"

As soon as Cheng Jinzhi heard him mention Gu Hanqing's name, a glimmer of light appeared in his originally desperate eyes.

"He... Is he okay?"

"Not so good, but at least better than you. Gao Hengjian raised his eyebrows slightly, "I thought you would cry bitterly, but now it seems that you are not afraid of death at all." ”

"Who said I'm not afraid?" Cheng Jinzhi glanced at him coldly, "Are you just afraid that it will be useful?"

Gao Heng nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly approached her and asked, "Then when you killed someone, why didn't you think of paying for your life?"

"I told you I didn't mean to kill him! It was he who insulted me first!"

Cheng Jinzhi remembered the bloody fragment in front of Liu Dongheng's corpse, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes soon turned red.

"What the hell are you here for? If you just want to talk about these frivolous things, please go farther, or I won't be able to bother you in the middle of the night if I become a ghost. ”

"You can still curse sharply, it seems that you can still save it. ”

Gao Heng looked at Cheng Jinzhi, who was shrunk to the side and trembling, sighed lightly, walked up to her and stretched out his hand to her.

"Let's go. ”

Looking at this skeletal hand, in a trance, it seems to have returned to that cold winter night many years ago. The bleak mourning hall, the gentle young man, and the hand that handed her a brocade handkerchief......

"Hanqing!"

With tears in his eyes, Cheng Jinzhi shouted, and suddenly got up and hugged Gao Heng tightly.

"Why are you here now? Do you know I'm so scared, I'm so scared I'll never see you again......"

The heart-wrenching cry echoed in the empty prison, Gao Heng looked at Cheng Jinzhi who was crying silently in his arms, frowned, and wanted to push her away, but his hand hung in the air for a while, and finally let go.

Sympathy or pity, after all, for this seemingly strong girl, she has indeed borne too much pain that is not commensurate with her age.

"Don't cry, lest people think I'm bullying you. ”

Gao Heng's voice sounded in his ears, making Cheng Jinzhi's crying stop abruptly. Suddenly, when he looked up, he just met his cold and deep eyes.

"I'm sorry!"

Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly broke free from Gao Heng's arms, standing in place a little overwhelmed.

"Let's go. Gao Heng smiled indifferently, "I'll take you out of here." ”

"You... Why are you saving me?"

Cheng Jinzhi's eyebrows twitched, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Entrusted by someone, you know who it is, go quickly. ”

Gao Heng said and stepped out of the prison door first, Cheng Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, you are ......"

When the head of the guard saw Gao Heng walking out with Cheng Jinzhi, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"I want this woman, and whatever consequences are borne by this king, I won't blame you. ”

Gao Heng said expressionlessly, regardless of whether the cell boss agreed or not, and walked straight forward, without half a place to maneuver.

Cheng Jinzhi silently followed behind Gao Heng, looking at his tall back blocking in front of him, and his heart suddenly settled down a lot.

The door of the prison was so close that the sunlight outside poured in in a large area, but it was soon swallowed up by the dark and deep corridors of the cell.

Fortunately, at this moment, I am getting closer and closer to this light, and I am getting farther and farther away from the darkness behind me.

"I'm saved, I don't have to die......"

"Wait. ”

Just as she was about to step out of the door, Gao Heng suddenly untied her shawl and covered her shabby prison uniform.

Cheng Jinzhi didn't expect Gao Heng to make such a move, she looked at the shawl on her body, and a little warmth arose in her heart.

The accompanying carriage and horses stopped outside the prison, and Cheng Jinzhi sat quietly in the carriage until the sound of street vendors sounded in her ears, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Because she was sure that the cold and dark prison had finally been left behind by the sonorous and powerful hooves of the horses, and thrown far away.

"We... Where is this going?"

"Go back to the palace. ”

"Wangfu?" Cheng Jinzhi looked a little surprised, "You... Your house?"

"Do you want to go back to your house?" Gao Heng lifted the curtain and glanced out the window, and said, "Do you still have a home?"

Cheng Jinzhi pursed his lips, only to feel that he was suddenly stabbed in the depths of his heart, and he was speechless for a while.

Looking at the faintly painful expression on her face, Gao Heng's eyes flowed, and he finally spoke: "You take refuge from me for the time being, at least I am here, and no one dares to touch you." ”

Although Gao Heng's tone was domineering, it sounded very secure, and just as Cheng Jinzhi was trying to say the words of gratitude, the carriage suddenly stopped as soon as the words reached his mouth.

"It's here, get off. ”

Gao Heng took the lead in getting out of the carriage, and when he looked back at Cheng Jinzhi still looking around on the carriage, he couldn't help frowning.

"Don't get out of the car yet?"

"Ahh......h

Cheng Jinzhi looked at Gao Heng's serious face, and with a sigh in his heart, he almost stepped on the air, but fortunately he was supported by him in time, so he didn't fall all over the ground to find his teeth.

"Help this young lady in. ”

Cheng Jinzhi subconsciously tightened the cloak around his body and crossed the threshold with the support of the two maids.

It's not that she behaves clumsily, and her delicate body is weak, but that she hasn't eaten a drop of rice for several days, and she is already hungry to the point that her feet are weak and her hands are dizzy.

"Nanyuan's Yuxiu Pavilion has been cleaned up, you can stay here with peace of mind, and wait for this wave of limelight to pass. Gao Heng said seriously, and then instructed the subordinates on the side, "Take this young lady to freshen up, and then go to the dining room to prepare some food and send it to Yuxiu Pavilion." ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing that Gao Heng was about to leave after explaining everything, Cheng Jinzhi hesitated for a moment and hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait a minute. ”

"Anything else?"

"That's... Thank you..."

"Don't thank me. Gao Heng stopped and tilted his head slightly, "You remember, your life is your own, don't let others easily control your fate." ”
