Under the dark abyss, there was no end to it, and the chains like ladders were strung one after another, stained with a lot of red and black blood, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

It wasn't the first time Nightfall had been here, and his whole face had a look of defiance on his face as he walked into the dark, Punishment Chamber.

The Punishment Pavilion is a tool used by the Shadow Pavilion to punish people who have made mistakes or failed missions, and everyone who enters here doesn't have the ability to save their lives, then they don't have to think about living here at all.

The structure of the Pavilion of Punishment is from top to bottom straight into the ground, standing on it and looking down is like looking at the abyss hell, from the top to the bottom there are eighteen layers, symbolizing the eighteen layers of hell, each layer of punishment is different, everywhere is full of danger.

This place can not only be used to punish people, but also as a testing ground, everyone who can get out of here is unusual, the Shadow Pavilion can have such a weighty position in the rivers and lakes, most of the reason is the existence of this Punishment Pavilion.

Nightfall could hear the wails of different voices every time he walked down the floor, and as if he couldn't hear them, he stared straight ahead all the way to the bottom.

The further down you go, the fewer people there are, and basically very few people make it to the last floor, and Nightfall only stops after reaching the eighteenth floor.

In front of him was a huge stone door, with the words "eighteen" engraved on it, and he pushed open the door and walked in, and what caught his eyes was all kinds of bloody scenes.

"Why are you here?"

The man who was fighting with a sharp-toothed tiger saw a man enter the doorway, and the sword in his hand was cut off, and the head of the sharp-toothed tiger was instantly decapitated, and the man easily turned around and asked about the nightfall who came in.

Yeluo frowned, the thick smell of blood was already the most normal smell here, and there was basically no fresh air.

"The master asked me to tell you to do something, and you can go back when you do it." Nightfall looked at the breeze on the other side, which looked like a wild man, and said with a frown.

Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears: "Really, the master is finally going to let me out?!" ”

He was very excited, and excitedly threw away the long sword in his hand and walked towards Yeluo, and couldn't help but want to reach out and hug him.

The moment the night fell, it was dark, raised his hand to stop his movements, and widened the distance between himself and him, and said in disgust: "You quickly pack up and leave here with me!" ”

Qingfeng waved his hand indifferently: "What to clean up, you don't know how long I've been here and haven't had a normal meal, you can take me out first!" He couldn't wait to miss the vast blue sky outside!

Indeed, there is nothing to eat here, the only thing to eat is the meat of the sharp-toothed tiger.

Nightfall left the Pavilion of Punishment with a clear breeze, first washing him from beginning to end and changing his clothes before he finally looked like a person!

"Uncle, I've finally seen the light of day again!!" Qingfeng roared excitedly, he felt like he had been in the Punishment Pavilion for several years, there was no light, and the whole person was about to suffocate to death, and now when he came out, he was like a wild horse that had escaped from the leash.

"Okay, we still have to complete what the master has to do!" Yeluo patted him on the shoulder to calm him down, and then briefly explained what Duan Yi had ordered.

"Hey, I thought it was, it's not a trivial matter! Let's go! As soon as the breeze heard it, it was not difficult, so I packed up and went to the mission at night.

…………

After a few days in a row, Yi Wanyuan has been very quiet recently, Zhong Qing has been bored in the house for several days because of her injuries, and now that her injuries are almost better, she can't help but want to go out.

"Qingqing, how long have you been following Lord Duan?"

"Qingqing, how did you and Duan Wang Ye meet?"

"Qingqing, how do you feel about Duan Wangye?"

"Qingqing, you ......"

"Stop! Stop! ”

Zhongqing really wanted to plug Yan Xiaoxiao's babbling mouth, from the time she went out, Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't get rid of it like a piece of kraft candy, and if she couldn't get rid of it, she kept asking questions along the way, she was a gossip girl!

"First, I haven't known the prince for half a year, second, I don't know, third...... I don't feel it! I don't know why, when answering whether she had feelings for Duan Yi, she couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Yan Xiaoxiao pouted "oh", as if she sensed her impatience, and unexpectedly closed her mouth and quieted down.

Zhongqing was a little bored, annoyed by Yan Xiaoxiao's continuous questions, and he didn't want to continue shopping, so he simply went home.

Yan Xiaoxiao followed her every step of the way, and she followed wherever she went, as if she was dependent on her.

"I said, Xiaoxiao, why do you always follow me?" Zhongqing couldn't help it, and she finally asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded his two hands on his chest, lowered his head and said, "Duan Wang Ye and Brother Yao told me to protect you well!" ”

Finally, she holds her forehead, does she really look that weak?!

"Forget it, if you want to follow, you can follow, I'm going back now." There was no way, Zhong Qing still wanted to come out to inquire if there was any news from the palace in the past few days, but she had been out for a long time, and she didn't hear any special news, so she just went back and asked him!

After returning to Yiwanyuan, Zhong Qing walked straight to the study, Duan Yi, Feihua, and Xue Mo seemed to be discussing something in the study.

Looking at Feihua's somewhat uncontrollable smile, Zhong Qing became interested, "What's the matter, is there any good news?" Come and hear it! ”

Feihua glanced at Duan Yi, and only after getting his permission did he speak: "A few days ago, the prince's manpower in the court was destroyed by the three princes in a row, and now the prince is probably as anxious as an ant on a hot pot." ”

When Zhongqing heard this, she faintly felt that something was wrong, and she asked, "Is it Zhongquan secretly helping the third prince?" ”

Feihua nodded, after Luo Luo and Chu Mo got married, the two families were grasshoppers on a rope, who else could he help if he didn't help Chu Mo?

"But this is not right, isn't our goal the final power, if there is no prince's resistance, then the final power will be more arrogant in the future?" Zhong Qing asked the doubts in his heart.

Feihua didn't answer her, but turned her head to look at Duan Yi, Duan Yi seemed to know the stakes, he said: "It's more interesting only if you first muddy the waters of the Great Chu Dynasty Hall, let the final power be proud for a while, and then quickly knock him from a high place to hell." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Qing sighed in her heart that the man's belly was black, but she liked this idea!

"By the way, what did the emperor do with Hanyue's incident last time, I went out to inquire for a while and didn't hear any news." Zhongqing was surprised that the fact that the royal princess was defiled by outsiders was so perfectly concealed that there was no leakage at all.

Duan Yi stroked a book on the table, but his eyes looked at Zhong Qing, and said slowly: "Tu Lie gave up the border territory for five years in exchange for Hanyue's family affairs. ”

"But, heh......" The man's words were not finished, and he laughed inexplicably, not knowing what he meant.

"But what?" Zhong Qing asked.

Duan Yi looked at her meaninglessly and didn't speak, and finally Qing looked strange, but since he didn't say it, then she wouldn't ask.

————

Day after day passed, five or six days had passed since Chu Ying sent the letter, and it stands to reason that his uncle should have received the letter, but why hasn't there been a reply for a long time?

Chu Ying didn't know what happened to his uncle, so he didn't reply, so he found someone to inquire quickly, but there was still no news.

In the Moon Palace, Han Yue has been staying in her palace since she came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she has not stepped out of the second gate, her hair is scattered, her lips are chapped and pale, and her spirit has begun to appear in a trance.

As soon as she closed her eyes now, she could recall the difference between that night and Tu Li, she didn't dare to sleep, she didn't dare to close her eyes, she could only huddle in the corner of the bed with her legs and keep shaking her head.

"Princess, eat something, it's been a long time since you've eaten normally." Xiaohuan, the personal palace maid, is a confidant who has followed Hanyue since she was a child, she feels sorry for the person who is trembling in the corner of the bed, and wants to do something for her but has a sense of powerlessness.

Hanyue's dull eyes were unwavering, as if she didn't hear Xiaohuan's words, just shook her head and trembled.

Xiaohuan had no choice but to patiently send the liquid food into Hanyue's mouth little by little, but fortunately, she didn't resist and slowly swallowed a mouthful of food.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

A sharp announcement came from the palace gate, and when she heard the word "queen", there was a sudden wave in Hanyue's lifeless eyes.

She pushed away the small ring, staggered out of bed and ran towards the door, "Mother, mother!" Hanyue shouted like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood.

The queen strode in, and when she saw Hanyue who fell to the ground and crawled over, she couldn't help but wail in distress, she didn't care about her appearance and etiquette, so she quickly squatted down and helped her daughter in distress.

"Yue'er, Yue'er, the queen mother is here, don't be afraid!" Her Yue'er, her most beloved daughter, has become this unbearable appearance after not seeing her for a few days, which makes her feel like she has countless knives stuck in her heart.

Hanyue fell into the queen's arms, tears gushed out, like a faucet that couldn't be turned off, she couldn't stop crying, she had suffered too many grievances, and now when she saw her mother, she instantly broke down and wanted to cry.

The queen patted her back distressedly, and tears swirled in her eyes, "Good girl, it's okay, it's okay to cry out if the queen mother is here." ”

Seeing this, the palace people all retreated and closed the door by the way.

I don't know how long it took, Hanyue cried until she was silent before she looked up at the queen with tears in her eyes, and suddenly, she remembered something, holding the queen's clothes tightly in her hands, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Queen Mother, did Na Tulie die, did my father kill him for me?!" ”

The queen couldn't bear to purse her mouth, patiently arranged her hair, and carefully held her face and coaxed: "Yue'er is not afraid, the queen mother is here, the queen mother will definitely not let you have anything to do!" ”

Hanyue grabbed her hand, this was not what she wanted to hear, she asked again with red eyes: "Queen Mother, is Tulie dead?!" The tone was infinitely ruthless.

The queen bit her lower lip, and the tears that were forced to ask finally burst out of her eyes, "I'm sorry Yue'er, the queen mother didn't know until now...... Yue'er has been greatly wronged, and the queen mother can't ...... Can't..."

Hearing the words of the queen mother, Hanyue's heart was suddenly struck by a heavy thunderbolt, she let go of her hand and hung weakly on the ground, despair crawling in her eyes.

"Hehe... Hahaha! ”

Suddenly, she began to laugh softly and unusually, and then burst out laughing, laughing and crying as if she had gone mad.

"Yue'er, don't be like this, the queen mother will definitely find a way to protect you!" The queen couldn't bear to look at her like this, so she could only find a way to comfort her constantly.

Hanyue kept laughing, as if she didn't hear her comfort, and didn't stop until she was tired of laughing and her voice was hoarse, and then lowered her head and asked: "Queen Mother, you tell Yue'er, what should Yue'er do, and his father promised Yue'er that he would give Yue'er an explanation..."
