(Continue to ask for pink, ask for genuine subscriptions, unconsciously it's almost the end of the month, although the new book list is temporarily ranked first, but I am still very worried in my heart, the gods behind are chasing tightly, please work hard, let a certain porridge continue!) ）

Lu Yanwan suddenly couldn't find her own voice, and her intuition told her that what she was going to face next would not be a good thing.

Hua Ling didn't explain anything to Lu Yanwan, but directly called someone outside to come in, took her out of the room, and then got out of Jin Mingchi and got into a carriage that didn't know where to go.

At this time, it was already night, and the carriage had been driving on the silent street for a long time, and the horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone pavement, making a ticking echo, as if striking on Lu Hui's anxious heart, making her more and more uneasy and panicked.

After the carriage arrived at its destination, Lu Huanwan got out of the car, and at a glance, he recognized the place where she was, and the punishment department, the suffering that belonged to the Lu family, began here.

Lu Yanwan is not afraid at this time, the original fear is because of the anxiety about not knowing what she will encounter, and at this moment she guessed what she is about to face, so she is not so afraid, she Lu Yanwan does not have many advantages, one of them is that the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, the pain of the skin and flesh is actually not terrible at all, but endure it and it will pass, if this is what Hua Ling said about being bitter first and then sweet, then she will also secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Yanwan was taken to a torture room, which should be specifically for women, and there are many torture tools in the room, which are not unfamiliar to her.

Lu Yanwan was pushed to the torture chair and sat down, several eunuchs quickly tied her with thick hemp rope, and then took out a clamp stick from a pile of torture instruments next to her, the two eunuchs put her ten fingers into the middle of the clamping stick, and then each pulled the rope on the side, after a while, the flower Ling also walked into the torture room, he sat down on the chair opposite Lu Yanwan, observed her expression at this time, and then laughed softly: "Wanwan, you are the first woman to sit here, not crying or making trouble, but so calm, You can guess what's going to happen next, right? ”

Lu Yanwan raised her head, at this time she was already very calm enough to look at Hua Ling, and replied indifferently: "Crying will only waste my strength, I have come here, I naturally know what will happen next, but since all these things are not under my control, then I can only endure it silently." ”

Hua Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked again: "Let's ask you again, do you have anything to do with that Xiangjun?" ”

Lu Yanwan just shook his head calmly, without saying a word, Hua Ling waved his hand lightly, signaling his eunuchs to be executed.

Lu Yanwan has already suffered this kind of finger clamping torture, but at that time, she was not as immune as she is now, and she would always cry and scream in pain, after all, ten fingers are connected to the heart, but in fact, the pain of the torture is not as painful as the last time she was stuck in the nails with silver needles, and she can survive it last time, and she will naturally not fall down this time.

After being sentenced for a while, Hua Ling saw that Lu Yanwan's face was only a little pale, and there was no other expression, her eyes were slightly surprised, and she asked again: "You are hard, our family will ask you again, what is the relationship between you and that Xiangjun?" ”

Lu Yanwan still shook her head, and then naturally there was another round of punishment, and this went on and on, until the sky was already dark, and Hua Ling left the torture room with a bad face.

Lu Yan was tortured overnight, and she was repeatedly forced to confess by Hua Ling, and her whole spirit was already very poor, but fortunately, Hua Ling left at this time, so that she had some respite. Lu Yanwan looked up at the two eunuchs who were left, stretched out her tongue and licked her dry lips, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can you give me some water?" ”

Hua Ling didn't want to kill Lu Huiwan, so she didn't prohibit her from eating and drinking, the two eunuchs quickly brought a bowl of hot porridge, Lu Huiwan didn't care whether it was hot or not, she drank it directly from this bowl of mouth, and the hot bowl of porridge went down, she felt that her strength had come back a little, so she quickly closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap, because she didn't know when Hua Ling would come back to torture her confession, and she could only rest as much as possible, otherwise she really didn't know if she could hold on.

Lu Yan slept until noon in the evening, and woke up because of the feeling of hunger in his abdomen, and then begged the eunuch next to him, and then got another bowl of porridge, and after drinking the porridge, he fell asleep again, knowing that it was night, and was woken up by a bucket of cold water.

Hua Ling looked at Lu Yanwan, whose face was a little pale, but who was in good spirits, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Wanwan, you really impressed our family, you actually endured yesterday's round of punishment, and you didn't have a word of begging for mercy, but I don't know if you can hold on today." ”

Lu Yan knew that Hua Ling would not let herself go so lightly, so he reluctantly pulled out a smile and said slowly: "Father-in-law, I told you a long time ago that I am innocent, no matter how many times you ask, I only have this one answer, even if you torture me to death, it will not change ......"

"Then we'll see." Hua Ling didn't say much, and signaled his eunuchs to start the punishment, and forced Lu Yanwan to confess.

This night, Lu Chen's night was even longer than yesterday, Hua Ling didn't want to waste her hand, so she asked the eunuch to take off the splint and replace it with a silver needle inserted into various acupuncture points on the body that would cause people pain but would not cause death, the pain caused by this punishment was obviously not much less than the punishment, but because the wound was small, it would not leave any traces on the prisoner's body.

The continuous pain made Lu Yanwan's mind a little less sober, but Hua Ling would splash her up with ice water every time, and then forced her to ask her about her relationship with Xiangjun, Lu Yanwan gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, Hua Ling left in the early hours of the morning, she finally eased up temporarily, the clothes on her body were soaked with sweat, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water.

In the next few days, Hua Ling would come over at night, and used many kinds of punishments on Lu Yanwan, each of which would make her painful to death, but it would not make her cripple or fatal.

On the evening of the seventh day, Hua Ling arrived as scheduled, Lu Hui had lost a full circle of weight compared to before the seventh day, and the already small face was even thinner, almost only a pair of black and white eyes remained, which was described as very miserable. It's just that the expression on his face is still fearless, and he hasn't changed much.

Hua Ling entered the torture room, and when she saw Lu Yanwan like this, she sighed slightly, raised her face slightly, and said slowly: "Wanwan, if you continue like this, you will really die, do you really, want to die?" ”

Lu Yanwan raised his eyes to look at him, shook his head, and said a little weakly: "I just want to live......" I didn't say anything, so that there would be a glimmer of life.

Hua Ling straightened up and didn't say anything more, but for the first time, she didn't execute Lu Yan and turned to leave. Lu Yanwan looked at the back of Hua Ling leaving, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a very slight arc.

For seven days, Lu Yan was finally able to sleep peacefully at night, she didn't know how long she had been asleep, and when she woke up again, she found that she had arrived at the warm bed, with a faint medicinal fragrance lingering on the tip of her nose, she raised her hand and put it in front of her eyes, her fingers were already wrapped in white gauze, and her body had changed into clean clothes, although it was still faintly painful, but it was not so unbearable.

Lu Yan let out a long sigh, although she didn't know where she was now, but since she had left the dim torture room, she finally saved her life.

Not long after Lu Yanwan woke up, she heard the door being pushed open, she turned her head slightly, and saw a strange woman, dressed in the service of a palace maid, holding a dinner plate in her hand, she and Lu Yanwan's eyes met, smiled slightly in surprise, put the dinner plate in her hand on the table, and then walked quickly to the bed, and asked with concern: "Is the girl Wanwan awake, how?" Do you feel any pain in your body, do you want me to call the doctor immediately? ”

Lu Yanwan also smiled softly, and then said: "Don't bother, I feel good now, this sister, can you sue me, where is this?" ”

"This is Jin Mingchi, girl Wanwan, you have been sleeping for three days, I am afraid that you will not know when you will wake up, and I am thinking about when to find a doctor to come over and take a look, fortunately, you woke up."

Not a royal palace...... Lu Yanwan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she had been away for so many days, and returned to Jin Mingchi, her heart was really full of mixed feelings, and after thinking for a while, she looked at the palace maid again and asked: "I don't know what my sister is called, are you taking care of me these days, thank you so much, sister, you just call me Wanwan." ”

"My name is Lu Xuan, you don't need to call my sister, just call me by my name, I am the palace maid next to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the emperor sent me to take care of you, these days you take care of your injuries first, and when the injuries are healed, the palace will send a special aunt to teach you to learn the rules and etiquette in the palace, and when these are learned, after a while, you can enter the palace with me to serve Her Royal Highness the princess."

Lu Yan had already guessed some of the things, and now after listening to Lu Qian's personal confirmation, she finally completely put her mind at ease, after being punished for so long, she finally gained Li Yan's trust initially, and it was really as Hua Ling said, first bitter and then sweet, but she didn't dare to take it lightly, she was sure that Hua Ling would definitely send someone to monitor him in the dark, and the amiable Lu Qian in front of her should also be Li Yan's eyeliner, saying that she was here to take care of her, in fact, it should be called surveillance.

Lu Yanwan's injury this time is not light, it took more than a month to finally recover as before, the body that was emaciated because of the injury also raised some meat, this time it was the time of the fire in July, Jinming Pond is much cooler than other places, this is a royal garden, not open to ordinary people, but many dignitaries can enter when the emperor is not there, or fishing by the lake, or boating on the lake, so in the summer, there will be many sons and ladies of the family to come here to take a boat and enjoy the cool, Do some vassal and elegant idle things, so this Jinming Pond is very lively.

Since Lu Yanwan got better, she didn't want to be bored in the house all day, and Lu Qian didn't restrict her freedom, and the imperial doctor who treated her also said that it was good for her body to go out and walk around more, so after dinner in the evening of the next few days, Lu Yan would be accompanied by Lu Qian to Jinming Pond for a walk.

Lu Qian really takes good care of Lu Yanwan these days, and she is very easy-going, and the relationship between the two is also very good, at least on the surface.

Lu Qian accompanied Lu Yan for a while, and then sat down in a pavilion together, the two looked at the many exquisite pleasure boats on the lake, and Lu Qian said jokingly: "Thanks to Wanwan, I have such idle days, although Her Royal Highness the princess does not detain us palace maids on weekdays, but always in the palace, every word and deed can not be put at will, where is like here, so loose every day, and can chat and watch the scenery like now, how comfortable." ”

Lu Yanwan pursed her lips and smiled, looked at her and said: "I was a little afraid to enter the palace when Sister Lu Qian said this, didn't you say that the teaching grandmother will come over in a few days, and I don't know if I can learn so many palace rules, you also know that I am used to being loose in the workshop, and I am always afraid that after I get to the side of Her Royal Highness the princess, I will cause trouble for her." ”

Lu Qian comforted Lu Yanwan and said: "Wanwan, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to learn, in fact, although there are many rules in the palace, but the comprehensive is only a few words, listen less, see less, talk less, it is best to treat yourself as deaf, blind, and dumb, you can get along with each other for a long time, and besides, we are the palace maids around the princess, as long as the princess loves it, in the future, the princess will marry and build a mansion outside, we will definitely follow, and then leave the palace at ease, the princess will be thirteen after the New Year, At most, we will survive for another three or four years, compared with those white-headed palace maids who can never leave the palace, we are really lucky! ”

Lu Yanwan nodded approvingly, she also thought of this, so she would rather suffer so much than give up this hope, it is not easy to be able to be honest and good, so even if there is only a little opportunity, she must firmly grasp it.

"Yikes! Look, on that cruise ship, it seems that someone has fallen overboard! Lu Qian was staring at the lake to see the scenery, but suddenly saw a few figures falling into the water on a boat not far away, so he immediately grabbed Lu Yanwan's hand and said in surprise.

Lu Yanwan also followed Lu Xuan's gaze, but he didn't see anyone in the water, but first looked at the cruise ship, which was much larger than ordinary cruise ships, and the hull was also very delicate and beautiful, so he comforted Lu Qian and said: "Don't worry, I look at the appearance of the boat, the people on it must not be low, and they will definitely send someone to save people immediately." ”

Lu Qian was also startled, hearing Lu Yanwan say this, it was right to think about it, so he was not so nervous, but his eyes were still staring at the cruise ship.

Soon the two saw that there were a few people on the pleasure boat who jumped into the lake to save people, and it was the height of summer, and they were not afraid of anything when they entered the water, and after about a quarter of an hour, it seemed that the two people who had fallen into the water were rescued on the boat, and the boat also rushed to the shore.

Lu Yan saw that the cruise ship was getting closer and closer to them, so he turned to Lu Qian and said, "Let's go back first, so as not to collide with that group of people for a while and cause some unnecessary trouble." ”

Lu Qian agreed, so he pulled Lu Yanwan, got up and prepared to leave, I don't know if they were too lucky, when Lu Qian walked down the stone steps outside the pavilion, he accidentally tripped over a small pebble, twisted his foot, and immediately sat on the stone steps in pain. Lu Yanwan immediately squatted down and asked her with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"It looks like I twisted my foot." Lu Qian reached out and stroked his ankle, and said with a frown.

Hearing this, Lu Yanwan reached out and carefully touched her ankle, and found that it was indeed a little swollen, but it shouldn't hurt the bones, so she held her arm and said: "I'll help you up, slower, it's okay to twist it not strictly, go back and rub some medicine and wine, it should be fine in a few days." ”

Lu Qian nodded, supported Lu Yanwan's body and stood up carefully, and the two of them had only walked a few steps after supporting each other, when they heard an anxious cry from behind them, "The two palace maids in front, please wait." ”

Lu Qian stopped, looked sideways at Lu Yanwan with an inquiring eye, Lu Yanwan replied to her helpless look, and the two slowly turned around. A well-dressed maid ran to the two of her in small steps, panting and blessed the two, and then hurriedly said: "The slave maid has seen the two palace maid sisters, our young lady accidentally fell into the water, and now the person has been rescued, but the clothes on her body are soaked, I don't know if the palace maid sister can do a favor and find two sets of clean clothes, our young lady will be very grateful to the two sisters later." ”

Jin Mingchi is located on the outskirts of the city and there are no shops nearby, so it is naturally difficult to buy clothes, Lu Qian and Lu Yanwan are wearing the clothes of palace maids, thinking that this little maid is to treat the two of them as the palace maids who stay and serve in Jin Mingchi, so they ask them for help.

Lu Yanwan's identity was a little sensitive, so she didn't say much, so Lu Qian looked at the little maid and asked, "Which maid are you, this is good, how could your young lady fall into the water?" ”

When the little maid heard Lu Qian ask like this, a trace of indignation flashed on her face, and then she said with some grievances: "The slave's name is Shui Qin, and she is the maid of the Yao family, as for the reason for this falling into the water......

Seeing that the little maid was spitting and unwilling to explain, Lu Qian didn't ask any more questions, thinking that it was just two clean clothes, so she nodded and responded: "Okay, you come with us, it's important to take the clothes first and save people." ”

Hearing this, Shui Qin nodded gratefully at Lu Xuan, and bowed again, and then helped Lu Xuan's other arm.

Lu Qian looked at his injured foot, and said to Lu Yanwan with a smile: "Wanwan, you should accompany Shui Cress to get your clothes first, I'm waiting for you here, my foot is injured, and I can't walk fast, let that young lady wait for a long time, it's not good to get frostbite." ”

Although it is the height of summer, the temperature in the evening is still a little low, and it is a weak girl's house that falls into the water, if you wear wet clothes for too long, it is very easy to get cold.

Lu Yanwan knew that Lu Qian was kind, so she didn't say anything, but helped Lu Qian back to the pavilion and sat down, and then went back to the room with the water cress to get clothes. Both of them were anxious, and they were not in the mood to chat, Lu Yanwan asked about the size of the young lady, so she took two sets of regular clothes and handed them to Shui Qin, who took the clothes, and then avoided Lu Huanwan and said: "Sister, come with me, so that our young lady can thank you in person." ”

Lu Yanwan thought of Shui Qin's expression when she mentioned the reason for falling into the water, and knew that this matter of falling into the water was probably not so simple, she didn't want to get involved in these messy things anymore, so she shook her head and refused: "No need, but the matter of two clothes, it's not a big deal, I still have to pick up my sister back, you go back quickly, don't let your young lady wait." ”

Shui Cress didn't force it, and thanked him a few more times, then turned around and left in a hurry. After she left, Lu Yan returned the same way to find the green silk that was still in the pavilion.

Seeing that Lu Yan was coming back, Lu Qian asked with a smile, "How is it, the clothes have been given to others?" ”

Lu Xiwan helped Lu Qian up, nodded and replied: "It's been given, the little maid has already gone back, I let her not have to return it, but two clothes, it's not a big deal." ”

Lu Qian continued to smile and said, "I'm afraid that the people on that ship will come to us to thank you later." ”

Lu Yanwan frowned when she heard this, "That's it......" thought for a moment before he said again: "It's okay, you can rest then, I'll send people away." ”

Lu Qian thought more than Lu Yan, and continued: "I look at the appearance of that ship, the identity of the people on it should not be simple, but there doesn't seem to be a dignitary surnamed Yao in this capital. ”

Handsome? Lu Yanwan thought about it, she knew one, but she didn't think it would be so coincidental that one, so she didn't say anything.

"It's okay, we're just two palace maids, even if someone really comes over, at most it's just to send a decent subordinate, I'll speak politely, and I won't make any extraneous branches."

Lu Qian thought about it, so she didn't say anything more, and the two walked back with each other. Returning to Lu Xuan's room, Lu Yanwan took out the medicinal wine and rubbed the blood on her ankle with her, wrapped it in cotton cloth, and told her not to touch the water for a few days, so she lay on the bed to rest, and she went out with a basin of water, ready to get some hot water, wash up and rest.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Lu Yuwan saw Shui Qin walking towards her with two people, and the man among them, Junyi was very handsome, and she knew him, so she was shocked, and quickly turned around, ran back to the house quickly, and closed the door firmly.

Lu Yanwan leaned against the door, and became more and more suspicious in her heart, wondering, how could he be here, and if she met him now, how would she explain her disappearance during this time. Lu Yanwan took a deep breath, calmed down his somewhat rapid heartbeat, and frowned tightly, do you want to show up...... RS
