"Let me out, let me out, I'm going out......" In the dimly lit prison, Gu Yunjin desperately shook the iron door in the cell made of iron rods, hissing and shouting. However www.biquge.info no one responded, only her hoarse voice echoing in the lifeless cell.

Since she was imprisoned here four or five hours ago, no one had ever looked at her, not even the jailer, which made her deeply understand what it means to call heaven and not earth, and she even suspected that Emperor Zhao wanted her to die here in such an unknown way. No, she can't die, she has a husband, she has children, she has a father and mother...... She's going to live!

"Let me out, I want to go out, I want to go out, my father has no bad intentions, he was framed......"

As time passed, Gu Yunjin's shouting became smaller and smaller, until his voice was so hoarse that he could no longer make a sound, but still no one appeared. Fear and despair completely overwhelmed her, and her collapsed body slowly slid down the iron door to the cold, damp ground.

At this moment, there was the sound of a large iron door opening outside, followed by footsteps approaching here.

Gu Yunjin seemed to see hope, and struggled to get up from the ground, his face pressed against the iron door to look out.

The candlelight in the cell was faint, and because of the distance, Gu Yunjin couldn't see who it was, but by feeling, she knew that the person who came was not what she was familiar with, and it was most likely a jailer.

"May I ask the jailer, how is the situation in the court?" Without waiting for anyone to approach, Gu Yunjin asked in a trembling voice.

The jailer turned a deaf ear, went to the outside of the cell, crouched down, pushed the food through the hole in the wall, and then got up and walked diagonally to the cell opposite, and continued to deliver the food, without saying a word from beginning to end.

It was only at this time that Gu Yunjin noticed that she was not the only one imprisoned in the prison.

Seeing that the jailer was leaving, Gu Yunjin became even more anxious, and shouted repeatedly: "Brother jailer, big brother jailer......"

However, the jailer paid no attention to it, did not even pause in his footsteps, and walked out indifferently.

"Jailer's brother, jailer's brother......" Gu Yunjin didn't give up, because this was most likely the only way for her to get outside news.

"Don't shout, it's useless, he won't tell you if you just shout and cut your throat." A hoarse man's voice suddenly came.

The sound came from the cell diagonally opposite. Gu Yunjin turned his head to look, only to see a man with unkempt hair and extremely thin sitting up from the simple bed, his eyes swept lightly over her, and then he picked up the jade flute beside him and began to play.

As soon as the cheerful flute sounded, Gu Yunjin suddenly burst into tears, trembling all over, and cried out loud uncontrollably: "Don't blow it, don't blow it, please don't blow it!" This is a ballad that Dai Xiangping and Dai Xianghuan often blow to them when they cry, and hearing it at this time is undoubtedly a kind of torture for her.

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the emaciated man seemed to be frightened, not understanding why she suddenly had a nervous breakdown, but after a pause, he said, "This is the tune I have had to play every day for sixteen years." ”

The sound of the flute sounded again.

"Don't blow it, don't blow it." Gu Yunjin covered her ears and shook her head desperately, but the sound of the flute did not stop because of her resistance, making her heart feel like it was burning on the fire, and the pain was unbearable.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the flute stopped. After venting vigorously this time, Gu Yunjin's emotions gradually returned to calm, and the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he sat on the ground softly and motionless.

"Let's have some food, it's going to be cold in the cell at night." The emaciated man spoke again, saw that Gu Yunjin was motionless, and said: "Here, no one will pity you, even if you die, others will only say that you deserve it." Only by living can we have a chance and hope. ”

Only by living can we have a chance and hope! Alive, alive, yes, she's going to live!

Gu Yunjin got up and came to the entrance of the cave, picked up the food and ate it.

The meal is simple, a coarse grain steamed bun, a plate of boiled greens and a bowl of hot water. On weekdays, these foods would definitely be difficult to swallow, but at this time, Gu Yunjin ate all the food, and even drank not a drop of water.

The weather in February was warm and cold, and the spring was expected to be cold, and the cell was unusually cold and damp because there was no sunlight all day. In the whole prison, there was no sound except for the chirping of insects and rats.

Gu Yunjin folded her arms and shrunk into a ball, sitting on the cold and hard bed in a daze, thinking of those people who were closely connected to her, tears couldn't stop pouring out, she raised her head and stubbornly forced the tears back.

"Are you a princess or the lord of the palace? What crime was committed? Why are you being locked up here? I've been here for ten years, and you're the only female prisoner sent here. In the empty prison, the hoarse voice of the emaciated man came faintly, and there was no joy or sorrow.

Decade! Gu Yunjin looked at him in shock, she didn't know how this person survived, she only knew that if she was locked up here for ten years, she would go crazy even if she didn't die. Instead of answering the man's words, she asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" And why are you being locked up here for 10 years? What about your family? ”

"I wasn't locked up here, I begged Emperor Zhao to lock me in."

Gu Yunjin directly suspected that he had auditory hallucinations, "Why?" ”

"Because I want to live, I want to live until the day when Emperor Zhao betrays his relatives and is punished by heaven." The emaciated man's voice was soft, but the hatred contained in it could be heard by anyone.

"It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards Emperor Zhao, but unfortunately, I am afraid that this day will have to wait for a long, long time."

"I believe that you don't have to wait long, Emperor Zhao has too much blood debt in his hands, and those who died unjustly will ask him for it."

Hearing the words 'unjustly killed', Gu Yunjin inevitably thought of the situation of himself and the Gu family, and was very chilled by Emperor Zhao's cold-blooded ruthlessness, "Our Gu family has been a general for generations, since Emperor Gaozu, we have fought for the south and north of the great inheritance, and we have never had a disagreement with the emperor, but I didn't expect that Emperor Zhao listened to the villain's slander and imprisoned my father in Xilin Imperial Prison without careful investigation." ”

"Gu family? Could it be General Gu Weizheng? Then ...... you" The emaciated man got up and came to the iron gate, looked at Gu Yunjin and asked suspiciously. The prison in the palace is the place where the royal nobles of the Dacheng royal family are imprisoned, why are the daughters of the minister's family locked up here?

mentioned his life experience of bringing disaster to the Gu family, Gu Yunjin's heart was like a knife, "I am from the Northern Dynasty, not the biological daughter of the Gu family." About sixteen years ago, when General Gu led his troops to attack the capital of Beisu, my mother saved my life, and General Gu secretly adopted me in order to repay me. I didn't expect this matter to be known by a maid in my family, and later for some reason, the maid was driven out of the house to take refuge in the emperor's mansion Master Fu, after Lord Fu knew about it, he reported my father to Emperor Zhao, and framed my father for hiding the remnants of the Beisu royal family, trying to plot against him, Emperor Zhao was furious, and he imprisoned me and General Gu. ”

After hearing this, the emaciated man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "No wonder you are locked up here, your identity is too sensitive, whether you are the remnant of the royal family in the north or not, it is a very troublesome thing, if there is a villain secretly doing something, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Gu family to pass." ”

Despair once again overwhelmed Gu Yunjin deeply, and she asked in a trembling voice, "You mean that Emperor Zhao will convict and kill my father?" ”

The emaciated man shook his head, "General Gu has meritorious deeds, and he is deeply supported by the people, as long as there is no definite evidence that General Gu rebelled, Emperor Zhao will not dare to kill him easily, but as for you, ......"

The emaciated man didn't say any more, but Gu Yunjin already understood what he meant, no matter what the outcome of the Gu family was, she was a dead end.

Gu Yunjin was so helpless and desperate that he wanted to cry, but for some reason, he couldn't cry at this time, "I am the princess of Nanling Palace, will this matter implicate the palace and my child?" ”

The emaciated man was slightly surprised, "You mean the Dai family, the king of Nanling?" ”

Gu Yunjin nodded in his heart.

The emaciated man did not speak for a long time.

Gu Yunjin saw that he was silent, and knew that things were not optimistic.

After a long time, the emaciated man said slowly: "I don't know, I only know that for the sake of the family, most people will put aside their involvement and choose to protect themselves." ”

Leave it all to work out and choose self-preservation! Does it mean that Dai Jinchao will abandon her? Gu Yunjin suddenly felt dizzy, walked back to the bed and sat down with difficulty, and never said a word again.

After a sleepless night, Gu Yunjin watched as the light in the cell brightened little by little.

On this day, just like yesterday, the only person Gu Yunjin saw was the jailer who came to deliver food. She didn't ask about the situation outside as intensely as she did yesterday, and she was silent, eating, in a daze, and thinking about her thoughts. Although she knew that it was unlikely, she still hoped that Dai Jinchao could come to see her and tell her something about the child.

In the evening, the familiar sound of the flute sounded again, Gu Yunjin listened quietly, and his thoughts had already flown back to Chaohua Garden. When the sound of the flute stopped, she said quietly, "You seem to like this children's ballad very much." ”

The thin man sighed lightly, "Yes, this was taught to me by my cousin Zixuan when I was more than three years old, and cousin Zixuan also learned it from my aunt." ”

The crown prince Zhao Ziheng, the second prince Zhao Zixi, both have the word 'son' in the middle, presumably this Zixuan is also the grandson of the same generation, and the person in front of him is called Zixuan's cousin, then he is also the emperor's grandson, why hasn't she heard of a grandson who has been under house arrest for more than ten years? Gu Yunjin thought for a moment and asked, "What's your name?" Which prince is your father? ”

Maybe it was sympathy, or maybe it was the boredom of the long night, and the two who had just met in the prison began to talk.

The emaciated man said sadly: "My name is Zhao Ziwen, my father is the second son of the first emperor, when I was four or five years old, my father was framed, the first emperor was angry and put my father under house arrest, my father was disheartened, so he committed suicide, and soon after my mother also died, and I was locked in the cold palace. ”

"Then why are you here again? The Queen Mother doesn't care about you? ”

"After the first emperor left, the queen mother released me from the cold palace and raised me in a small courtyard, but then someone poisoned my food and wanted to kill me, so I asked Emperor Zhao to go to the prison."

Regarding the dark struggle in the court, Gu Yunjin was chilled when he heard it, "You hate Emperor Zhao so much, does it have anything to do with it?" Is he trying to kill you? ”

Zhao Ziwen didn't make a sound.

Gu Yunjin asked again: "What about your cousin Zixuan?" ”

Zhao Ziwen gently stroked the jade flute, "After my uncle died, one night, my cousin Zixuan and my aunt were burned to death by fire. ”

Endless sadness permeated the prison, Gu Yunjin didn't ask anything more, and let all kinds of emotions engulf him.

Every minute in the prison was torture, and when he was tormented to the ninth day, Gu Yunjin finally saw a familiar person.

Late that night, Gu Yunjin was sitting on the bed staring at a certain place, when she suddenly heard the sound of the iron door shaking gently, she turned her head to look, and saw a person dressed in black standing outside the iron door.

Her first reaction was Dai Jinchao, and she quickly rushed to the door, however, when she saw the face of the person who came, her face froze, because it was not Dai Jinchao who she wanted to see day and night standing outside the door, but the crown prince Zhao Ziheng.

"Yunjin." Zhao Ziheng saw that she didn't react for a long time, and couldn't help but call softly, his voice was full of hardship and helplessness.

Since the last time he met Zhao Ziheng and saw his indifferent attitude, Gu Yunjin thought that he didn't care about himself at all, and he never thought that he would appear here. Today's Zhao Ziheng has lost his youthful frivolity and enthusiasm in the past, adding a little maturity and stability, and at the same time adding a little more vicissitudes after the tempering of the world.

Gu Yunjin smiled sadly and said softly, "I didn't expect the prince to come to see me." ”

Zhao Ziheng held the iron door with his hand, and his voice was full of a sense of powerlessness: "Since you are going to marry Dai Jinchao, I have told myself not to pay attention to any news about you, and from then on, your life and death have nothing to do with me, after more than a year, I thought I had done it and had let it go, but in the past few days, I couldn't sleep all night, and I found out that some things have already penetrated into the bone marrow, not that you can let go of it." ”

The man is married and the woman is married, and now to say that these are crossing the line, Gu Yunjin changed the topic and asked, "How is the emperor's investigation of my father's case?" ”

Zhao Ziheng looked away, as if he was not ready to answer.

Gu Yunjin knew in his heart, "Is it true that the emperor wants to make a rebellion against the Gu family?" Prince, do you believe that the Gu family will plot against you? ”

Zhao Ziheng explained: "I don't believe it, but the year before last, the female assassin who was rescued by her accomplices on the birthday of the emperor's grandmother was caught, and she testified that you are indeed the princess of the Beisu royal family, and it was General Gu who sent them to assassinate the Zhao family, in order to seize power first and then restore the country for Beisu." ”

Gu Yunjin sneered, "What a coincidence, something happened to the Gu family, and the assassin was caught, if I guessed correctly, it is estimated that Master Fu has made a great contribution, such an obvious frame-up, I don't believe the emperor can't see it." ”

In fact, Zhao Ziheng also found that there were too many doubts about the matter, and the so-called evidence was a bit far-fetched, but Emperor Zhao was suspicious, and he was particularly taboo about this matter, and vowed to punish him strictly.

But Zhao Ziheng didn't want Gu Yunjin to know about these things, so he only comforted and said: "Yunjin, don't worry about it first, I will persuade my father to investigate this case well, if the Gu family is really framed, I promise you that the Gu family will be innocent." ”

"Thank you, Prince." Gu Yunjin thanked him with tears.

The two talked for a while, and Zhao Ziheng saw that the hour was not early, so he said goodbye and left.

Gu Yunjin struggled for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked, "Can you please ask the prince for something?" I want to meet Dai Jinchao. When she spoke just now, she mentioned Nanling Wangfu several times, but Zhao Ziheng avoided talking about it, she always felt that Zhao Ziheng had something to hide from her.

Zhao Ziheng's footsteps suddenly stopped, and after a long time, he said without looking back: "It's better not to see each other, Yunjin, forget him, he is not worthy of your thoughts." Then, leave without stopping.

Gu Yunjin's eyes suddenly blurred, watching his figure gradually fade away.

Although Dai Jinchao said that he would save her out, and promised that he would not turn his back on her no matter what happened, but now the situation is unreasonable, no matter what kind of self-preservation decision the Nanling Mansion makes, she will accept it, this is a catastrophe caused by her life experience, she should be like this, and she will not blame anyone. But didn't Dai Jinchao even have the courage to come to see her? Why haven't you seen her for so many days? (To be continued.) )
