Sun Wenjie felt comfortable after thinking clearly. Although he has been up and down in Guanhai, he has also seen some things clearly in recent years. But his heart is still righteous, and besides, the person who has been wronged today still saved his wife's life, and he can't stand by no matter what.

"Since it's for her safety, then you must let people guard it, and don't let anything happen in prison. ”

Sun Wenjie didn't speak in the morning, but he kept observing everyone's reactions. The contradiction between King Xun and King Hui has obviously become more acute, and their attitudes have become clearer. When the party struggle is at its most intense, I am afraid that it is coming.

"The prison is not their mansion. Ji Hongye said lightly.

Now, the power of King Xun and King Hui has spread over the six departments, and the only one who has not been touched may be the criminal department. Of course, the Criminal Department also has their eyes, but the important positions are all Ji Hongye's own people, and they are not qualified to divide power from him.

Sun Wenjie is also convinced of this. It's just that the Cloud Shock Order is too tempting. At this juncture, as long as you can get the Shocking Cloud Order, it can be regarded as putting the position in your pocket.

As long as you wait for the right opportunity, you can let Emperor Yonglong abdicate. Whoever is in charge of the military has the final say, and the hard fist is the last word, which is an eternal principle.

It was precisely because he knew in his heart that he could imagine how crazy their next move would be. I'm afraid that at this time, it will indeed be very difficult for the Criminal Department to parry these two powerful princes.

Look at the entire court. Now those who can have this strength are afraid that only Ji Hongye and Zong Xuanyi are the only ones. That Xiangguo-sama has always been centered on power. As long as it's good for him, he'll do it. If he stands in his way, he will not show mercy.

In the past few years as an official in the same dynasty, who has not learned his ruthlessness? So at this time, he either doesn't make a move, and he just wants to take the Shocking Cloud Order for himself.

Although he is a party of Xun Wangyi. It's just that when the time comes, whether it will be coerced by the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this is unknown. King Xun should also understand, so he will definitely take action himself.

Nalan Jinxiu was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and she was a prisoner for the first time. But it doesn't seem to be too bad, these people are quite polite to her, and they haven't forced her to change into prison clothes.

The only thing she didn't feel comfortable with was that it was too cold and dark in the cell, except for a very small window at the top. She deliberately remembered the time, and every day there would be a stick of incense, and the small window would let in the sun.

She didn't know that sunshine was so precious, and now she looks forward to that time every day. As soon as the sun shines into the cell, she sits in the sunlight and feels its warmth.

"It's time to eat. The jailer brought a food box and put it on the table, and carefully brought out the contents of the food box.

Nalan Jinxiu took a general look, the dishes were exquisite, and the food looked really good. The meals have been good since she moved in, but today it was too outstanding.

"Is today a special day?" asked the jailer.

The jailer seemed to be the head of her cell, and would come in and inspect it about once a day. Although the two hadn't spoken a few times, because of his respectful attitude, Nalan Jinxiu still had a good impression of him.

"Nope. ”

"Then why are there so many dishes?"

"It was sent by Lord Sun's house. ”

Nalan Jinxiu raised her eyebrows, it seems that Sun Wenjie is still a person who knows how to repay his kindness. She saved his wife's life, and now she deserves to eat a few meals from him.

"What else do you need to live here?" the jailer looked at the handsome and thin young man in front of him, even if he had been in prison for many days, he did not feel depressed. Her robe, in particular, was as clean and tidy as ever.

Nalan Jinxiu shook her head, someone sent her a change of clothes every day, and even the dishes were changed in turns. She felt that she did not feel like a prisoner at any other time than that the room was dark and cold, and that she was not free.

The jailer observed her for a moment, and felt that her face was so pale that there was no blood in her fingernails. He thought about it sideways for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Do you feel cold?"

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, she wondered if they would actually build a brazier for her here in a while. Then she's really special as a prisoner.

"I'll have someone send you another quilt in a moment!"

"Thank you very much. ”

The jailer shook his head and said respectfully, "I'm just doing what I'm told." ”

Nalan Jinxiu finally thought that this was the Criminal Department, and the third brother had the final say. It's just that his previous attitude was very indifferent, and she thought that he didn't plan to care about her. She looked down and smiled, not speaking again.

The morning Ji Hongye came to see her, it snowed heavily. This is a strange phenomenon for Jinling, it is already spring, and it is almost unheard of to have such a large amount of snow.

His eyes were still blind, but he knew that she was going to be fine in prison. They only said a few casual words, and she said that she wanted her own acacia seeds.

Ji Hongye was silent for a while and said, "You can't play the piano here." ”

Nalan Jinxiu endured it for a long time, and finally asked, "How long are you going to lock me up?"

"It's coming. Ji Hongye replied.

He didn't lie to her, it was indeed fast. Xu Jince wanted to come to Jinling to report on work, and specially asked if she was okay. As long as Jinling doesn't tear her face with Northern Xinjiang for a day, she must be let out before Xu Jince arrives.

These days, Ji Hongye has been thinking about a question, with the Shocking Cloud Order, does she have to die? Or be a living dead and have been locked up in a dark cell.

According to his original intention, he wanted her to be safe and free. Therefore, no matter how King Xun Hui calculated, he protected her well. It's just that he didn't expect that he would eventually have a time when he would be a hundred secrets.

Two days before Xu Jince arrived in Jinling, someone brought a holy decree to release him. He was still in Wenyuan Pavilion at that time, and he didn't doubt him, so he agreed. Before the person was taken away, the holy decree came to the criminal department again, saying that he wanted to take Mingle Hou back to the Hou Mansion.

He realized that his negligence had put her in danger. But even if she pursued her with all her might, she still found nothing, and the people who took her away seemed to have evaporated in the world.

Nalan Jinxiu realized that there was something wrong when she came out of the criminal department with the people, and according to Mu Li and Liangshan's temperament, it was impossible not to pick her up at this time.

She wanted to return to the Ministry of Punishment under the pretext that she wanted convenience, but she was already held to her waist by a sharp dagger. She could only follow into the carriage, and as soon as she got into the carriage, she was knocked unconscious.

When she woke up again, it was still in a dark place, but the candle was lit indoors, and the cold light of the orchid was turned over. She moved, found herself chained, took a deep breath, and felt a little pain in the back of her head.

"Awake?" said an indifferent voice, and a dark back appeared in her field of vision.

"Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to give me what I want. ”

"I don't know what you want. ”

"Heh!" the man chuckled sarcastically, "Everyone is smart, so there's no need to play dumb riddles." If you give me the Order of the Shocking Clouds, I will naturally not hurt your life. ”

Of course, Nalan Jinxiu knew why she was arrested, and she also knew that the Shocking Cloud Order was her life talisman. If she tells the secret, the other party will definitely kill people.

"What if I tell you and you're going to kill me?"

"Do you think you still have the ability to tell me the conditions?" The man still didn't turn around, but said coldly: "If you don't say it, life will be worse than death." ”

After going through so many things, Nalan Jinxiu now doesn't know what fear is, and she doesn't see a little panic: "Life is better than death, it's better than death." ”

"It seems that if I don't give you some color, you really don't know how powerful this king is. ”

The man turned around as he spoke. He was born very tall, and the candle flame was blocked behind him. Nalan Jinxiu couldn't quite see his appearance clearly, and as he approached step by step, she finally saw this young man with a very good appearance, but there was a scheming and calculating young man between his eyebrows and eyes.

Although he only glanced at him in a hurry when he saw him, Nalan Jinxiu still remembered that this person was King Hui. It's just that his outfit today is different from usual, he didn't wear the prince's Nine Dragons python robe, but a black casual dress.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Hui, who was rude. There was no trace of surprise in Nalan Jinxiu's eyes, if it wasn't King Hui, it must be King Xun. What makes them willing to risk false decrees to trick her out must have something to do with the dispute.

"Since you know that it is this king, do you want to continue to hide it?"

"The Cloud Shock Order should not exist in the world, and I was ready to die a long time ago. ”

King Hui didn't have any expression on his face, just a gloomy smile: "Don't talk too much, young man, there is always a fear in this world that you have never seen, and this fear is enough to make you succumb and make you feel that life is worse than death." ”

Nalan Jinxiu's face was even calmer. Since she used the Shocking Cloud Order, she has hardly not blamed herself for a day. But whenever she thinks of that scene, she will feel distressed and unbearable.

Therefore, she had secretly sworn a long time ago that no matter what kind of suffering she suffered, she would not use it a second time, and she would never let it harm the common people. She had known that this would happen one day, and she was ready to accept it.

"Are you going to show that you would rather die than obey this king?"

Nalan Jinxiu smiled: "What the prince wants, I really don't have." ”

"Mama Needle, serve him well. ”

With the cold voice of King Hui, an old woman with a plump body and more than fifty years old walked slowly. She held a pitch-black box with light on it. There was also a pure black cat squatting on top of the box, almost blending in with the darkroom.

It wasn't until she got closer that Nalan Jinxiu could see clearly the two beams of light, which were actually cat's eyes. The black cat was also expressionless, but a pair of eyes were staring at her, which looked very weird......
