Chapter 231: The Face of Lushan

The cell door was already empty and not locked, and he could step out of the cell with a slight push, and seeing that there was no one around now, Cheng Jinzhi took the hairpin and tiptoed out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Except for the cell where the woman was held not far away, there were no prisoners in the surrounding cells, so the guards were relatively lax, and in addition to the daily routine distribution of meals, there were very few inspections and patrols.

Anyone who is imprisoned here is basically a person who has been convicted of a crime, and will not be interrogated again, let alone have any thoughts of escaping from prison, unless Sansheng is fortunate enough to meet the king's amnesty of the world, it can be said that there is no possibility of seeing the light of day again.

After all, even if you can escape from here, there is a heavily guarded forbidden place of the palace outside, and there is no way to enter the heavens and the earth.

These guards and stewards are well aware of this, so they spend most of their days lazily and laxly managed, preferring to work more in the sun outside than to be contaminated with bad luck in this gloomy and ominous place.

Cheng Jinzhi relied on the support of the two princes, Gao Heng and Gao Xun, and was treated differently and acted freely, not because he was afraid that he would be punished for sneaking out, but because he was worried that if someone found out that he was going to contact the mysterious woman, he would inevitably be invited back to the prison cell to be brainwashed by alarmists, and it would be difficult to find out when the time came.

Walking through three empty and unoccupied cells, the woman's confinement was the place.

Since her cell was located diagonally opposite Cheng Jinzhi's room, even from a short distance, she could see the direction clearly and throw the hairpin smoothly in front of Cheng Jinzhi's door.

Although she didn't know what her purpose was, Cheng Jinzhi knew that her move was definitely aimed at herself.

"She took this hairpin to lure me out, could it be that she saw that I was about to go out, and she was depressed and wanted to lure me over and harm me? No, no, I have to stay away from her, in case she chokes her neck and can't speak, wouldn't that be a whining and mourning?"

Cheng Jinzhi thought worriedly, raised his hand and subconsciously touched his neck, and in a blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of this cell.

The cell was rudimentary, but clean. Through the door, in the dim light, I saw an unkempt woman in prison uniform curled up in the corner with her head bowed, her body trembling slightly.

The long scattered hair covered most of her cheeks, making it impossible to see her face clearly, only revealing a pair of narrow phoenix eyes parked in one place blankly, at first glance, but it was muddy and dull, and there was no trace of anger in sight.

I don't know if it's because I haven't seen outsiders for a long time, after feeling Cheng Jinzhi approaching, the woman was obviously a little scared, and shrunk her body tighter into the corner, chattering endlessly, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.

"Didn't you bring me here? I'm not scared, why do you look like you're afraid I'll eat you?"

Cheng Jinzhi scratched his nose twice, cleared his throat to give himself courage, leaned down and put the hairpin in his hand into the crack in the door, and said tentatively: "Is this thing yours?"

When the woman heard Cheng Jinzhi's voice, her head rose slightly, but when her eyes touched her, she buried her head again and never said a word.

"You can sing and shout on weekdays, why don't you speak at this time?"

Cheng Jinzhi tilted his head and glanced at her, although his tone was not polite, he was also a woman, and now when he saw her lonely and miserable state, he couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion and sympathy in his heart.

"This lady, do you think that I am as idle as you are, and want to find me to sing with you? I'm sorry, I'm not full of five notes, and my singing is out of tune, if you can find someone to play mahjong together, then you can consider it." ”

Cheng Jinzhi thought that he was not very friendly and scared this woman who had not seen the light for a long time, so his attitude and tone were relaxed.

However, she said this sentence after sentence for a long time, but when she said it, it was like water spilled out, and she couldn't get a single response, which was no different from talking to herself.

And the woman was still motionless in the corner like a stone statue, and even the frequency of blinking was very rare, which made Cheng Jinzhi feel that this situation was even more depressing than playing the piano to the cow, and he was even more embarrassed in desperation.

"Really, is this letting me play a one-man show alone? I haven't reacted at all for a long time, am I going to be wrong?"

Thinking about it, she sighed a little impatiently, and as soon as her mind moved, she looked at the pearlescent hairpin in her hand, and said with interest: "Okay, it's okay if you don't speak, and I'm too lazy to waste my lips and tongue with you." But such a beautiful hairpin, since you can't bear to cut your love and throw it to me, I will accept it unceremoniously. We're cellmates anyway, so I'll just take it as a gift from you to congratulate me on seeing the light of day. ”

Cheng Jinzhi said and immediately stood up with his hands on his thighs, but as soon as she turned her back, the woman's cold and deep voice came from her ears.

"You stop. ”

"You're finally willing to speak. Cheng Jinzhi glanced back at her, but did not squat down, but walked two steps closer with his hands around his shoulders, "Say, what do you want to do with this hairpin to lure me over?"

"You're smart enough to know I'm looking for you on purpose. ”

The woman said unhurriedly, raised her hand to brush away a few tufts of hair blocking her face, leaned forward, and slowly met Cheng Jinzhi's eyes full of doubts and suspicions.

"Don't you wonder who I am?"

At this time, Cheng Jinzhi was barely able to see this woman's appearance clearly.

This is a middle-aged woman of about forty years old, although her skin has become dull and bloodless because of the pain of imprisonment and guilt caused by many years of imprisonment. But judging from her facial features alone, you can still imagine her beautiful and delicate face when she was young.

There is no doubt that she is a beauty.

Cheng Jinzhi looked at it carefully for a while, then retracted his gaze, and analyzed thoughtfully: "This is the palace, and this is the place where the royal family is imprisoned, so you can't be a palace maid or a female official who committed a crime." I heard you shouting that you want to be the queen before, so your identity must be the emperor's concubine, right?"

When the woman heard this, her eyebrows trembled at first, and then she looked at Cheng Jinzhi with a restrained expression, and a self-deprecating smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

But in this smile, there is clearly a deep hatred and old grudge.

After being silent for a long time, I saw that her eyes were dark, and she suddenly stood up against the wall and walked towards Cheng Jinzhi step by step.
