The Western Dynasty Prison does not see the light of day all year round, the darkness is filled with a damp and cold atmosphere, the prison doors are opposite, and two desperate parallel lines stretch farther away, bottomless.

This is the abyss of sin, where there are no wronged people, no holy light of salvation, not even the slightest sound, and there is a deathly silence everywhere, and countless pairs of ghostly eyes are staring at the rats and cockroaches stealing in the aisles.

Suddenly, the fire flickered in the distance, and the rats stealing food seemed to sense the danger, and the "squeak" alarm sounded and dispersed.

Someone walked by calmly, the jailer with a torch nodded and walked in front to lead the way, and occasionally reminded the noble man behind him "intimately": "Taishi be careful of slippery roads, and I don't know which thing that doesn't know whether it is dead or alive that scatters the food all over the ground!" ”

Glancing at the silent crowd behind the cell door.

Helian Zhu had a cold face, looked into the distance, and asked, "Can you recruit it?" ”

"Taishi Mingjian, we have used all the means we can use, how do I know that Uncle Liang Guo is really hard-mouthed, and he just refuses to recruit." The jailer had a look of helplessness on his face.

Helian didn't say much to him, led three or four guards, and the group walked quickly to the interrogation room.

The person in charge of the interrogation was a butcher-like man with five big and three thick feet, and when he saw Helian Zhu, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

Helian nodded lightly, his eyes drifted away, and he saw Uncle Liang Guo on the cross with whip marks and his head hanging down on his chest, and it seemed that he couldn't withstand the torture and fainted.

Sitting directly opposite the torture rack, Helian Zhu's eyes were full of cruelty and viciousness, and he instructed the man in charge of interrogation: "Wake him up!" ”

"Yes!" Men do it.

The cold water splashed in his face, and the suffocation forced Uncle Liang Guo to gasp suddenly, open his eyes, and vaguely saw a person sitting opposite, as if he was sneering at himself.

tried his best to look closely, and only after his vision was completely clear did he realize that it was Helian Note.

"Helian bet, you are so enforcing the law, trying to bend into a trick! The old man is bound to be inseparable from you! The old man wants to see the emperor, and the old man wants to see the queen mother! ”

Looking at Uncle Liang Guo's extremely angry appearance, Helian Note had a happy expression and said to the man in charge of the interrogation: "You still have the strength to hold your mouth, it seems that you are not doing your best!" ”

The interrogated man had some scruples: "Taishi, after all, Uncle Guo is a relative of the emperor, so it's not easy to kill him, right?" ”

"Huh?" Suddenly raising the end of the note, Helian Zhu's face revealed a dangerous look: "The Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people!" What about his royal relatives? Who dares to bend the law for personal gain? ”

The man was still embarrassed, but when Helian said so, he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only pick up the whip and go towards Uncle Liang.

"The old man is innocent, why is he afraid of death?" Uncle Liang Guo was not convinced, although he was full of resentment, he could only glare at Helian Zhu fiercely, and scolded in his mouth: "Helian Zhu, you black-hearted despicable villain, but you are a traitor, what is there to be proud of?" When the old man was an official, you were still shining people's shoes! No matter how big an official you are if you can't get on the table, what is still lowly blood in your bones, just wait! The Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely kill your dog! Helian Note ......"

The whip in the hand of the man in charge of interrogation was raised high, and before it could fall, he was caught in his hand.

When I turned my eyes, it was Helian Zhu with a gloomy face.

"I have changed my mind, I can't let Uncle Guo suffer such a big crime, go, bring the tooth tweezers."

"Tweezers?" The man was shocked, but only for a moment.

In Helian Zhu's threatening eyes, he had to do it.

Uncle Liang Guo was forced to kneel down, his eyes were firmly fixed on the long and short tooth tweezers in Helian Zhu's hand, and a trace of fear finally quickly flowed in his eyes.

Helian Zhu saw the trace of fear in earnest, and leaned over with a dark smile and whispered: "Actually, you don't have to suffer this great crime, I already have a way to make you confess, but Uncle Guo doesn't seem to know each other very well, so this master has to teach you the truth that those who know the times are handsome." ”

After that, he took out a jade pendant from his arms.

Uncle Liang's expression finally collapsed with the appearance of the jade pendant: "This is my son Rongbao's belongings, what did you do to my son?" ”

"Uncle Guo rest assured, Rong Bao is now your only seedling, and this Taishi will naturally not treat him badly, but Uncle Guo's insulting of Ben Taishi just now made Ben Taishi very unhappy, so Ben Taishi wants to let Uncle Guo know who has the final say here! However, Uncle Guo doesn't have to worry too much about Rong Bao, as the so-called father and son are of the same heart, what kind of pain Uncle Guo suffers here, this Taishi must also let Rong Bao experience! So what should Uncle Guo do, you must think about it clearly! Otherwise, the precious son Rong will be in the hands of the mob, and he will be in danger! Helian Zhu laughed sinisterly, with a look of victory in his hands.

The meaning of the words is very clear, if he does not follow his wishes, Helian Note is likely to take Rong Bao's life.

Uncle Liang Guo gritted his teeth, eager to cut him with a thousand knives, but in order to protect his son, he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only lower his head and stare at the ground hatefully.

After a while, a heart-rending wail erupted in the prison that did not see the light of day.

Three or two guards went up and dragged away Uncle Liang, who was covered with blood and had a pale face, who had already fainted.

The jailer handed over a confession and smiled earnestly: "Master Yu, the drawing has been completed." ”

Helian Zhu grasped the tooth tweezers in his hand, and there was a bloody molars sandwiched between the blood-stained tweezers, and threw away the tooth tweezers with a disgusted expression, and pushed the tooth tweezers into the jailer's arms, picked up the confession and looked at it carefully, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

In the imperial study, Li Yuanlin was engrossed in reading the notebook, the wolf pen and ink in his hand were exhausted, and the pen went to the inkstone to dip in ink, but it was dipped in loneliness.

"What are you thinking?"

Ye Lingyi was startled by the sudden sound, came back to his senses and looked at the pen he was holding in his hand, and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, slave maid, this is grinding ink!" ”

Speaking of which, increase the force in your hand, and the speed is extremely fast.

"Hey......" Li Yuanlin wanted to stop her, but he was still a step too late.

The force was so strong that the ink splashed onto her nose, and large drops of ink flowed down the curve of her nose to the sides of her mouth, like two more whiskers.

Li Yuanlin stared at her in a daze, and after a few seconds, he finally couldn't help but let out a "poof", and laughed back and forth.

Ye Lingyi was slightly embarrassed, and it was not possible to raise her hand to wipe it, nor did she not wipe it.

"Alright!" After a while, Li Yuanlin barely stopped laughing, took out a sweat handkerchief from his arms, and looked at her with a smile: "Don't move, be careful to become a black-faced bagman!" ”

The jade hand is slender, holding a bright yellow sweat handkerchief and slowly approaching.

Ye Lingyi lost her mind for a while, and suddenly retreated in shock: "The emperor can't!" ”

"What's wrong?" Li Yuanlin was curious.

"This is a royal thing, how can it be used to wipe the face of the slave?" has been in the palace for a long time, and she knows how much the rules here are strict, if it weren't for Li Yuanlin's special care and protection, her fate would only be miserable, and she would not survive more than three episodes.

Li Yuanlin smiled and looked at her with shining eyes: "Let me ask you, who is the biggest official in this palace?" ”

Ye Lingyi replied as a matter of course: "Naturally, it is the emperor!" ”

"Who made the rules of the world?" Li Yuanlin asked again.

"Naturally, it's also the emperor," Ye Lingyi replied more and more clearly what he wanted to express, "But the emperor, everyone is long." ”

"Where did the crowd come from?" Raise your eyebrows.

Belch......

Ye Lingyi looked left and right, and sure enough, except for himself and him, there was no second person.

"Alright! Thank you, Your Majesty! He took the initiative to take the sweatkerchief in his hand and wiped it casually.

Li Yuanlin smiled, his eyes were full of doting, and his tone was a little helpless: "Give it to me!" Look at you, you didn't wipe it! ”

Ye Lingyi was stunned, and the sweat handkerchief in his hand was taken away.

Gently brushing the tip of her nose.

Ye Lingyi looked at him blankly, looking at the man in front of him with extremely gentle eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I don't deserve you to be so good to me, I ......"

"I know what you're trying to say." As she interrupted, the last trace of ink on her face was completely wiped away.

Looking at her with a smile, although the light in his eyes was dim, it was still gentle: "Green kite, I know that you are a bird that soars for nine days, and I have no wings, I can't fly with you, I can't feel the wind of freedom with you, I am destined to be trapped in this golden cage for the rest of my life, so I know better than anyone that I can't and can't have obsession." ”

His smile gradually became bitter, his eyes lowered to hide his emotions, and even his loneliness was quiet.

Ye Lingyi was inexplicably flustered, always thinking about what to say to comfort him, but after organizing the language, looking at him, he suddenly felt that he couldn't open his mouth again, so he had to secretly feel guilty and uneasy.

"It's rare for me to say such a sensual thing, don't look at me like that, I'm embarrassed!" When he raised his head again, he had already managed his expression, pretending to be relaxed, raised his hand and rubbed the hair on her forehead, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, I almost forgot that today is the Reunion Festival, and Tokyo City is going to hold a moon viewing conference, why don't we go out of the palace and join in the fun?" ”

"Reunion Festival?" Ye Lingyi successfully diverted his attention.

Li Yuanlin's expression was pleased: "Yes, a moon viewing conference is held on this day every year!" This year will be no exception. ”

Speaking of admiring the moon, Ye Lingyi remembered something, and muttered in a low voice: "When the fifteenth moon is full, isn't it our Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

"What did you say?" Li Yuanlin, who did not hear clearly, expressed doubts.

Ye Lingyi, who came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, then the emperor, when will we leave the palace?" ”

"Hmm......" deliberately frowned in thought.

After making her expression nervous, she suddenly laughed: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's a rare good opportunity, go now!" ”

Thinking that she was going to leave the palace, Ye Lingyi couldn't suppress her excitement, she was overjoyed, and suddenly remembered something, and her expression fell: "No, Your Majesty, you still have so many scripts to review." ”

Only out of the corner of his eye he looked at the mountains of notebooks on the table: "It's okay." Today is a rare reunion festival, and I have to take a good vacation! You're going with me! ”

With that, the two got up to leave.

At this moment, a eunuch with small steps came in from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is outside the imperial study, clamoring to see the emperor." ”

"The Queen Mother?"

Fang Cai's relaxed expression instantly turned into nothingness, his eyes suddenly turned cold, he looked at Ye Lingyi, and said apologetically: "You go with the guards first, and I will come later!" ”

Ye Lingyi didn't know why, but because there were other people there, he had to retreat with a respectful appearance.

"Go and invite the Queen Mother in!" Li Yuanlin commanded coldly.

The eunuch was about to answer, when an unkind voice came from outside the door: "No need! Who dares to stop the mourning family if they want to come in? ”

"Queen Mother!" Li Yuanlin made a gesture towards the queen mother who entered the imperial study with great momentum.

Liang Hou snorted coldly, walked in and didn't even look at him, walked straight to the main seat of the imperial study, threw off her clothes and sat down, the woman's beautiful face was full of anger, and she gritted her teeth and sighed: "The emperor is really good now!" ”
