Chapter 145: Captivity (1)

Cold Tide has been trapped in the water prison for two days. These two days were like hell for her. Even after she left, she often dreamed of that terrifying and cruel time. The nightmare memories are painful!

The water prison and violent room of the Great Zhou Palace were used to punish the concubines and palace people who made mistakes in the palace. These two places are terrifying and secretive. The violent chamber mostly imprisoned concubines and wives, and the water prison was used to detain palace ladies and female officials.

The violent room is taken from the meaning of "exposure to the sun", and the room is dry and hot. If you are punished for a long time, your body will gradually lack water, your skin will crack, and the prisoner will die of dehydration. The women in the palace have always cherished their fair and watery skin, and even if many concubines can finally come out of the violent room, they will fall out of favor because of the loss of tender skin, and end up depressed.

The water prison is punished by "water", and the entire cell is sunk deep into the ground and built into a huge column, with no doors or windows, and only an opening at the top for people to enter and exit. The cells were divided into ten cells, and there was a lot of stagnant water. The lower half of the captives were completely submerged in the water, and they could not sit or lie down, let alone rest. Not to mention being tortured to death by standing all the time, even if you are immersed in water, your skin will gradually fester. After being held here for several days, prisoners often die from exhaustion and festering of the lower half of their bodies.

It can be said that the water prison is more terrifying than the riot room. There were occasional tortures in the chambers, but there was no need for them in the water cells. It's hard for anyone to survive 10 days here. Either confessed to his guilt or died violently.

The skylight on the roof of the water cell was opened, and the two prison officers were slowly lowered on a rope in a specially made wooden boat, leaning against a rope by the guards guarding outside. Because most of the women in the harem are imprisoned in the riot room and the water prison, even if they make mistakes, they can't let men touch them at will. so as not to offend the face of heaven. Therefore, the prison officers in these two places are also elderly grandmothers who are in charge of punishment.

In the past two days, Hanxi has seen these two grandmothers several times. They would come twice a day to deliver food so that the captives would not starve to death and would continue to suffer until they confessed. Then there is the one who comes to take away the dead prisoners. Now look at the daylight through the skylight overhead. It shouldn't be the time to deliver food. So. These two grandmothers came over, and there should be someone who can't stand it again.

Sure enough, two grandmothers came in in a small boat. It's all the way to swearing. For example, the palace maids who were in charge of punishment like them did not have a high status in the palace, and most of them only worked hard in the Xinzheku or Huanyi Bureau when they were young. In their selfish hearts, they are very jealous of those noble mothers and masters. and a palace maid with a head and a face. So, once the palace people make a mistake. fell into the hands of the punishment mother, and the end can be imagined.

The two punishment grandmothers in the water prison are one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Yang. Mama Li is skinny. Mama Yang is short and stocky. Although they looked different, they all had the same vicious and mocking look on their faces. The two rowed a boat and stopped in front of a cell diagonally across from the cold tide. Mama Li took out the key. Open the heavy iron door. Hanxi looked through the door and saw the black backwater. There was a dead body floating there. The woman who was held in that cell came in three days before Hanxi. Two days ago, she would be in her cell crying helplessly and panickedly for mercy. But now, she floats on the water, motionless. With only a pair of big eyes that no longer shined, he stared vacantly at the equally dark beams overhead.

Here, until death, you can't look blind!

Mama Yang took a long iron hook from the boat and hooked the dead woman. As soon as she pulled hard, the woman who had long since lost her life followed the hook and was hooked to the side of the boat. The two mammies worked together to drag her to the boat, as if she were just a ragdoll that had never been alive.

Mama Li also spat at the woman's corpse fiercely, scolding: "Useless things, I can't survive in just five days!" The masters who serve the status of gold on weekdays, have they even become expensive with themselves? ”

Mama Yang laughed twice, and her voice echoed throughout the water prison. Her voice was high-pitched and sounded like the chirping of a night owl. She glanced at the four women who were left in the water prison, including Hanxi, and said, "You need to hold on a little longer, don't keep us coming here all the time." If you are powerful outside, harm others and yourself, go to prison and die, and you have to trouble others! ”

"That's it!" Mama Li agreed, stretched out her foot and kicked the dead woman, "It's all rotten, and the dirty water has to stain our shoes and socks!" You guys, when you die, you can clean up the old lady! ”

With that, the two rowed to the underside of the skylight. The Praetorian guard on top lowered the rope and pulled the boat back up. The skylight was closed again, and the entire water dungeon was plunged into darkness again.

"Boom, boom......"

In the darkness, there was a soft sob. Because each cell was separated by an iron door, Hanxi had not seen the other three people in custody, and he didn't know who was crying. However, anyone who is locked up in such a horrible place will cry, right? It's only been two days, and two people have already died of no endurance. The rest of the people will only be more panicked. Maybe the next one to be dragged out is himself......

The cold tide is not afraid of water. As a descendant of the Nangong clan, she was immersed in water for a few days without the slightest discomfort. Hanxi protected his body with spiritual power, and he didn't even get his clothes wet for half a minute. The iron door of the water dungeon, with the stealing technique she learned in the Hidden Heaven Villa, can also be opened very easily. The distance from the bottom of the prison to the skylight can be reached with light skills, and these can't trap her.

What really trapped Hanxi was the guards and the worries in her heart. Not to mention whether he can escape from the guards without alarming the Ouchi masters. Just the things that will be implicated after escaping make Han Xi dare not act rashly.

Situ Hehan is very attentive to her, if she disappears in the water prison out of thin air, she will definitely not give up. What's more, Situ Bi is obviously on the side of Hehan. I'm not afraid of other cold tides, but I'm afraid that Tang Bujing and his family will be affected for no reason. He'd already sacrificed so much for himself, she couldn't walk away so selfishly.

Now, we have to wait. Waiting for Situ Mu's promise, try to save her; Or when Tang Bu comes back, he must have a way to prove his innocence. However, before he could find the painting of the mountains and rivers, he was imprisoned. It seems that this time the task is not so easy to complete.

"Boom, boom......"

Another burst of crying broke the cold tide's thoughts. After the first woman cried, the other two couldn't help it anymore and both cried loudly. Hanxi suddenly felt a little sorry for them, where did these women who were in their prime suffer such sins and fright? Most of them are unintentional or framed, and they will end up like this. They are not as fortunate as themselves to endure the suffering.

Well, why don't you help them? Whether they can survive it depends on their own creation.

Thinking so, Han Xi tiptoed open the door of his cell. The two grandmothers had just left and would not come back for a while. Take advantage of this time to let those girls take a break.

Hanxi urged his spiritual power, wrapped himself in an aperture, and dived underwater, in case a skylight of the Praetorian Guard was watching. She swam outside another cell and quietly opened the door. Because of the darkness around her, when the girl was still unconscious, Hanxi cast a spell to make her fall asleep.

Hanxi's palm touched the girl's forehead, and the lilac soft light immediately surrounded the girl. The aura protects the maiden and allows her to sleep peacefully on the water. After three hours, the aura fades, and the maiden will awaken. She won't remember what happened before. This is the only thing Hanxi can do for them at this time.

Hanxi looked at the girl's face that was gradually becoming clear in the halo. She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, not much older than Su Tong, and her face still had tears on her face. Hanxi said softly: "Take a good rest, you must live." (To be continued) R580
