At the secret behest of the nightshade, after Chu Qingluo and Peony were taken to the prison, they were also detained, one in the east and one in the west. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Peony cried and struggled a lot, but once you got here, if you didn't take special care, what did the jailers care about who your name was when you were outside? In their eyes, most of the prisoners are the same, with no future.

Without the privileges of the royal family, both of them changed into prison uniforms. In the cramped cell, there was no wooden bed or dining table, only a pile of straw, and when you sat on it, you could still feel the biting chill coming from the floor. The corner of the wall, which has not seen light all year round, is moldy due to moisture, and the smell is quite unpleasant.

Chu Qingluo curled up in a relatively dry corner, his arms wrapped around his knees, his chin resting on his arms, and his dark eyes stared straight at a woman in the opposite cell......

The woman lay on the ground, motionless, and could only see her messy hair, but could not see her face clearly. The depleted knuckles and dirty prison clothes seemed to indicate that she had been locked up here for a long, long time.

Occasionally, a mouse passed by, and it was not at all cowardly, but walked slowly, stretching its nose and sniffing east and west, but there was no food here, and finally it could only leave with a disgusted face.

When the jailer tied the big lock on the door, unexpectedly, Chu Qingluo did not feel any panic or fear. If this time it was God who finally made a move on her, maybe ...... Is it a relief?

……

It was dark, but it was still quiet in the cell, with no jailers patrolling and no dinner.

The night when you can't see your fingers, so dark, there is no light.

Chu Qingluo slowly closed his eyes, really hoping that when he woke up, he could return to his own world......

"Qingluo—"

Hearing a noise in a daze, and someone shaking her arm, Chu Qingluo frowned and opened her eyes.

The torches in the aisle were lit at some point, and the prison suddenly became bright. Ji Qiran sat beside her, the soft light of the torch hitting his angular outline, and there was a wooden bed and a small wooden table on the side, on which a sumptuous meal was placed.

In a vague way, she returned to the world from hell.

"Sorry I'm late! As soon as I returned to the palace, I heard that something had happened to you, and I was in a hurry! Ji Qiran looked flustered, touched her cheek with his big hand, and after carefully examining it, he asked again: "Did the saint embarrass you?" ”

Chu Qingluo shook his head and said, "No." "Before the truth is found out, the empress shouldn't be particularly embarrassed by her, but with such a good opportunity, Nightshade and the Eighth Princess will definitely not be polite to her.

Ji Qiran helped her up and said, "Let's eat something first, these damn jailers have eaten leopard gall, and they dare to snub you privately, I'll go and pick their skins later!" ”

"It's not because someone instructed it." Chu Qingluo stared at the meal on the table without moving his chopsticks, and asked rhetorically, "Peony was also imprisoned, how is she?" ”

"She's in the cell at the other end, and I've just ordered someone to bring her food and bedding, don't worry."

“…… Ziyan had an accident because of me, I don't want Peony to be implicated for no reason, can you help her? Chu Qingluo asked.

"You eat first, and then tell me what happened, and I'll see if I can figure it out." As soon as Ji Qiran returned to the palace, he heard that Lord Ziyan had died in Guangren Hall, and Chu Qingluo had been imprisoned, as for other details, he didn't know yet.

Chu Qingluo first drank a few sips of water, stuffed half a steamed bun, and then told the ins and outs of the matter, including the conversation between the eighth princess and the nightshade that Ziyan heard, and she also told him the truth.

"Gongsun is gone, and Ziyan is gone...... I really don't want to see anyone persecuted for me anymore. Chu Qingluo looked at him and pleaded: "This time, the nightshade will definitely not be soft, you hurry up and find a way to save the peony first." ”

"This ......" Ji Qiran looked a little embarrassed. There was arsenic in the tea, and the tea was sent by peony, and she was also one of the suspects. Even if Lord Ziyan didn't drink tea, the arguments of the two suspects would not be adopted. So it's hard to get her out first before the truth is found out. ”

"The truth?" Chu Qingluo showed a cold smile and said, "Do you think Nightshade will let the truth surface?" ”

"She's bound to do everything in her way, but we're not going to let her get away with it." Ji Qiran's eyes showed a firmness, and he said to her, "I will definitely save you out." ”

"......" Chu Qingluo looked at him and hooked the corners of his lips. She only feels so tired now, if she succeeds in getting out of this predicament, she will inevitably fight back and forth after going out, and she doesn't know when it will end? When will there be a Ning Ri?

If she is unlucky, she only hopes that she will not drag down Peony and her family.

"There are too many unsatisfactory things in the world, let's prepare for the worst first." Chu Qingluo paused before saying, "I don't know how Nightshade will deal with me...... If it really comes to the point where there is no way out, even if I have to confess my sins, I will protect the peony. ”

Ji Qiran pursed her thin lips, her obsidian-like eyes staring at her deadly, a little angry. But seeing her like this now, he was more heartbroken.

"Why do you say frustrating words? Do you want Ziyan to sacrifice in vain? He asked.

"I said, it's just for the worst." She avoided his gaze and didn't look at him. If the struggle is not over, there will be people who will continue to die.

"You're lying." Ji Qiran thinks that she already knows Chu Qingluo quite well now, she has always been optimistic and resolute, and what she said just now clearly means that she has the idea of giving up the struggle in her heart.

"No one can win without losing." Chu Qingluo's brows furrowed, and he said, "When the things you care about the most are lost, what about winning the world?" ”

Ji Qiran looked at her desperate expression, and his heart throbbed fiercely!

"You're ...... Do you really not care about me at all? ”

If she lived to avenge Gongsun Yu before, it is understandable, he will protect her with all his strength and wait for her. But after Ji Qili died, how much he hoped that she could live for herself again, and how he hoped that he could also have a chance...... Live for her.

But at the moment, apart from the silence of his heart, he could no longer see anything else from her pupils.

Ji Qiran's question made Chu Qingluo's heart shock. To say that you don't care about him at all is a lie. But in the face of power and struggle, she is as small as a speck of dust, and her life is like a mustard, what can she do?

Faced with Chu Qingluo's silence, Ji Qiran stood up, walked straight to the door, and said behind her back: "Chu Qingluo, who makes me Ji Qiran's heart, is a guy who never gives up!" It is estimated that Gongsun Yu ...... The same is true. After saying that, he walked out of the cell door and added, "I won't give up!" And then he left.
