Chapter 201, a narration of the prison
Qi Qing'er glanced back at Zhu Wan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The expression on her face was very similar to the expression of Gu Shan Yi the night before.
It seems that King Qi's invitation, she Qi Qing'er has no room to refuse.
It's just, the prison, how to tell the story there.
"Although it is early spring, the night is still cold, and the county lord used to wear a coat, and the prison is deep underground, cold and damp all year round." Zhu Wan saw that Qi Qing'er was indifferent, and admonished on the side.
Qi Qing'er only listened, but did not speak.
Zhu Wan was just reminding her that this time, she had to go to the prison.
Jian Feng said: "I have prepared the carriage, and I will ask the county lord to ......."
"Wait a minute." Qi Qing'er put aside this sentence and went back to the house to change into a thicker robe.
Come back again, without saying a word, get into the carriage.
The carriage galloped all the way and soon came to the prison of the Criminal Department.
The hundred-foot palace wall here is gray and cyan, and there are no glazed tiles on the wall, but sharp corners of stone, which makes people chill in the dark twilight.
Passing through the palace wall several meters thick, behind the main entrance of the Criminal Department is a large hall with a single gray and black style.
And through this hall, everything behind made Qi Qing'er retch.
Here are all kinds of bloody torture things.
In such a dim night where she could barely reach her fingers, Qi Qing'er could still feel the hair and skin left on the tortured thing, and the roar that could not be endured.
"King Qi invited me to talk about it, is this here?" Qi Qing'er tried her best to restrain retching, and looked at Zhu Wan who was not shocked next to her.
Zhu Wan raised her hand and patted Qi Qing'er's back and looked at Jian Feng.
Jian Feng said, "County Lord, please come here." ”
Probably because she saw such a scene, she was confused, stopped there for a while and couldn't move forward, and her heart distorted the meaning of King Qi's prison.
Qi Qing'er gritted her teeth and followed Jian Feng to continue forward.
Until he walked to a thick stone square door, Jian Feng said, "This is it." Zhuwan and I are waiting here, county lord, please. ”
He held out a hand and made a gesture of please.
Qi Qing'er was stunned for a moment, looked at the dim candlelight that came and went in the door, and finally started to step in.
It's said to be a dungeon, but it's not so much a dungeon.
Each step is downward, each step further from the surface.
Qi Qing'er gathered the cloak on her body.
It was indeed cold here, and several unidentified liquids hung from the stone facets on both sides, extending all the way up the stone steps, flowing down the stone steps.
Probably because it was too damp, the walls were oozing water.
There are candles on the wall every other foot.
But such a faint candlelight could not completely illuminate the perennially dark and damp prison.
Qi Qing'er continued to go down, then turned left, and then went down, and finally saw a slender and narrow flat land.
There was a dark blue figure on the other side of the flat.
Qi Qing'er quickly made a judgment on this figure, this person is Li Xuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
Since the last time she talked about Lonely Mountain, she hadn't seen Li Xuan again. Goodbye, each other has changed identities.
Li Xuan walked quickly to Qi Qing'er, leaned to the side against the wall, and bent down to salute, "I've seen the county lord." ”
"Master Li, farewell to the lonely mountain, don't come unharmed." Qi Qing'er returned the salute.
I thought that Li Xuan would mention King Qi, after all, it was King Qi who she was invited, but who knew that Li Xuan made the same gesture of invitation as Jian Feng, and then lowered his eyes and said nothing.
What's the deal with this?
Qi Qing'er didn't ask much, and continued to go inside.
It's just that the cloak is tighter, and the smell of dark, damp and moldy here is getting heavier and heavier.
Finally, a three-foot square clearing appeared around the next corner.
The bluestone nearly black brick floor, the uneven walls on three sides, a square table in the middle, two benches, and a red candle are very simple, but spotless.
King Qi stood at the square table with his hands in his hands.
He wears a black kaftan without any embellishments.
Qi Qing'er's fingers tightened, what does King Qi mean, to arrange such a way to meet.
"Your Highness......"
"Do you have to call me Your Highness?"
As soon as her words came out, King Qi categorically blocked her.
Qi Qing'er's body shook slightly, and said in a stubborn tone: "Then how should I call you?!" ”
"Qing'er!" King Qi said.
She looked at King Qi's stiff body because of his highness, and did not approach, but walked a few steps along the wall, "You have the means, I admire." It was you who calmed down Emperor Gao and wanted to crown me Jieyu, and I am grateful. However, you could have stopped the matter before Emperor Gao issued the holy decree, but you didn't. "To put it mildly, you're even counting me in.
The latter sentence choked in her throat and she couldn't get it out.
King Qi was still standing straight, his face was not surprised.
It was not the surprise of Qi Qing'er's words, but the pain.
His chest rose and fell violently, "Then what do you think I should do?" Qing'er, in a noble circle like the emperor, every step you take can't have a difference of half a point. The unjust case between you and me, if you want to overturn it, it is based on power, without power, neither of you nor I can crush this strange injustice that has crushed the blood and bones of tens of thousands of people! ”
"Power? Is power fratricide? Is power the explanation for your bloodless killing? Qi Qing'er leaned against the wall, and her lips gradually whitened.
What is she crazy about?!
Where did King Qi say something wrong, power, that is the best weapon to overturn the case, she Qi Qing'er should be very clear.
What's more, before returning to Beijing, she swore that she wanted him to taste the loss of his relatives.
But at the end of the day, she wanted to blame him for fratricidalism.
What kind of madness is this?
The circle of the emperor is incomplete if it lacks hands and feet, and it lacks ruthlessness.
Qi Qing'er, who has lost her relatives and family, should know best.
King Qi was enraged by what she said, and he thought that she was ready to fight.
Qi Qing'er felt a cool breeze in front of her, and King Qi was close at hand.
He said, "Do you think I'm taking advantage of King Xuan's feelings for you?" Or is it the relationship between you and King Xuan?! ”
There is a thick sandalwood in the air.
The kind of sandalwood that has lost its essence is mixed with the aroma of red dust.
Qi Qing'er's heart trembled, what she didn't say, King Qi still guessed.
"What kind of relationship is between me and King Xuan, you know best! I just don't understand, King Xuan is not a stumbling block on our road, why do you force him to be like this? ”
King Qi was very close.
Qi Qing'er could only stand against the wall.
There was no reflection of candlelight in his peach blossom eyes, but they were still beating, "Are you feeling sorry for him?" Because he was your and my playmate when I were kids? Isn't King Ling the same? Look at the current King Ling, what has become of him. On the day he was imprisoned in Yongxiang, why didn't I hear you say anything about fratricide? The current King Xuan is just a frightened bird, why should you question my methods because of him! ”
Qi Qing'er's heart sank a little, and then sank again.
When Zhu Wan replied that she didn't know who the Zen Master was, Qi Qing'er had already guessed that he must be King Qi's staff.
Now looking at King Qi's red eyes, her guess was undoubted.
Who is the Zen master, as long as he comes forward, he will be able to let Emperor Gao take back the fate of the concubine. But King Qi didn't do that, watching King Xuan with his eyes, and even fanning the flames to make King Xuan go crazy in front of the holy decree.
Could it be that after King Ling, he began to attack King Xuan?
But according to his thunderous style, how could he leave a place for King Xuan to turn over? After Emperor Gao reduced the punishment of King Xuan, he asked the Zen Master to lead Wenchen to participate in King Xuan's disobedience.
What is he doing this for?
Qi Qing'er was disturbed by the hot air sprayed on his lips by King Qi, and he couldn't think clearly.
"Your Highness invited me to talk about it, but I don't think that's what I have to say." Qi Qing'er said as she tried to break free from King Qi in front of her.
King Qi not only didn't let go, but propped his hand on the wall. (To be continued.) )
