Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but tremble, and then bit her lip tightly, desperately restraining the panic and despair at this time.

But I heard the guard start to say in a strange tone again, "When the girl's life is gone, the corpse can only be eaten by mice, and the girl's delicate little face has been gnawed to the bone, but how can it be good?" ”

After saying that, she sneered and left, leaving only the trembling Lian Zhi'er, who hugged her shoulders in fear and buried her head deep in the crook of her arm.

The guard walked through the gloomy prison and finally came to an end, only to see a long figure standing there, even with a layer of frost on his back.

"How's it going?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World forgives the sins, those who are locked up here, who are not frightened, but this girl is also angry, and she doesn't cry or make trouble." The guard was also covered in cold sweat, "It's better to take the girl back, if there is anything wrong, the subordinates really can't afford it." ”

Ruan Lu's cold gaze swept over him, and he sneered, "This Shizi sees that you just don't have the ability, you just have to show her the most powerful, if she doesn't look for Ben Shizi tomorrow, then you have no means." ”

"Yes." The guard wiped a cold sweat, but he really didn't know why His Royal Highness forced a woman like this. It's a bit too cruel.

At night, a beaten and dying man was thrown into the cell where Lian Zhi'er was staying, lying in the broken straw covered in blood, except for a few painful "hums", which proved that he was still alive.

However, in the second half of the night, the man was silent, and the rats in the prison seemed to smell the breath of death, and ran out of nowhere in groups, only to gnaw around the corpse.

There was only one flame the size of a pea in the house. Everything looks eerie.

Rats bigger than the soles of her feet kept running past her, their mouths still bloody.

Hell is nothing more than that.

The next day, it was just dawn, but I saw that the guard came back yesterday, but he was holding a bowl of duck blood glutinous in his hand.

Lian Zhi'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she only squatted down, and threw up while holding on to the cold wall, but last night she didn't stick half a grain of rice to her teeth, and she didn't spit out anything.

The guard simply left the bowl on the ground and turned to leave.

Lian Zhi'er endured her nausea and pointed to the mutilated body on the ground, "He—he's dead." ”

The guard only glanced at it, and then snorted coldly, "The coffin board has been gone for the past few days, and it will be burned and buried when there is time in the future." ”

Lian Zhi'er couldn't stand it anymore, and only said, "I want to see His Royal Highness." ”

She knew that she had no way out, and that this life was going to end here after all.

*****

When Ruan Lu rushed over. Lian Zhi'er has been placed in a fairly spacious room, and there are a few pastries on the table, and she must have taken care of them with all her heart.

She didn't look up when she heard the movement, but just stared blankly at the walls of the room.

He reached out to put his hand on her shoulder, only to see her shrink suddenly, looking at him with frightened eyes.

In an instant, he regretted it a little, maybe he shouldn't have persecuted her like this.

The tears in her eyes kept rolling down, "Take me out of here, I will listen to you in the future, please, don't leave me here alone." ”

It seems that she is really freaked out.

"In the Eldest Princess's Mansion in the future, I'm afraid you will miss this place even more." He sighed helplessly, "Don't be as stupid as before in the future, if you want to live well, no one can help you, only yourself." ”

Lian Zhi'er raised her eyes in fear, but she didn't know what it meant.

Ruan Lu placed a package beside her, "There are clothes and hairpin rings in here, let's change them." ”

Lian Zhi'er only opened the baggage, but saw that it was a pale green skirt inside, the skirt was embroidered with white butterflies to wear flowers, and the skirt was tied with palace silk. There were only pearls on those hairpins, and they were not extravagant and gorgeous.

Seeing her looking at her clothes in a daze, others frowned indifferently, "What's wrong?" Don't you like it? Your first time meeting your mother......"

Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth and said slowly, "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to go out first." ”

Ruan Lu's dark eyes suddenly showed anger, and he only sneered, "I haven't seen anything in this world, what are you still pretending to do here?" ”

But he turned away anyway.

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly changed his clothes, but there was no mirror beside him, even if he reluctantly pulled a bun, but the hairpin couldn't be worn well.

In a panic, the hairpin fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.

When she leaned over to pick it up, a pair of bony hands had already taken a step ahead of her and held the hairpin in her hand.

"I can't do anything." He snorted coldly, "I'll help you." ”

After saying that, he really reached out to put a hairpin ring for her, he was not good at these, the tip of the hairpin almost rubbed off her scalp, and she gasped in pain.

He was keenly aware of it, and only looked down at her, "What's wrong?" ”

Lian Zhi'er just shook her head slowly, "It's nothing." ”

Ruan Lu's eyes involuntarily fell on Lian Zhi'er's body, she was so bright and delicate in a green Luo skirt, with a bit of vitality, so he couldn't help but remember that when she first entered Beijing, she also liked this color.

At that time, she was always wearing a green dress, a tasseled hat on her head, and she walked with a jingling sound, always so noisy and restless.

"Don't wear it like this in the future." His eyebrows furrowed, and his voice was already displeased, "Annoying." ”

Lian Zhi'er's fingers crossed her skirt, she was really a little wronged, this skirt was obviously chosen by him for herself.

Soon the two of them were out of this gloomy prison. Until she got into the carriage, she still felt a little chilly behind her, as if this place had almost become a nightmare for her life.

Ruan Lu did not ride a horse, but followed her into the carriage.

Qinghu's carriage was a little cramped, and the two of them sat side by side, and she could almost hear his breathing close at hand.

"How's Akong?" In a hoarse voice, she asked slowly, "Is he cured?" ”

Ruan Lu tugged at the corners of his lips, "It's really rare, you still remember our child, and you thought you forgot about him!" ”

Hearing his sarcastic words, he had to slowly lower his head.

"Rest assured, he's almost healed." He frowned suddenly, "This name is really unlucky, it seems that this son has to think of a new one." ”

Lian Zhi'er raised his head violently, "That's a good name." ”

This name was given to him by Shi Ran, and it is also his name for the rest of his life, and no one can change it, but she doesn't want her child to have the surname Ruan.

"Good what?" He was already full of displeasure, "Just with that sour scholar, what kind of good name can you make, it's just a fool of a stupid woman like you." ”

"I like it very much, and so does Akong." She looked up at him, with the last of her stubbornness, even in his eyes, how ridiculous she looked at this time.

"Good. Very good. He suddenly laughed, "I actually learned to talk nonsense in front of this son, I'm afraid that you want this child's surname to be Shi even more." ”

She was stunned for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "I didn't." ”

He grabbed her shoulders and looked straight at her, their breaths staggered, and they could almost clearly see their faces through each other's pupils.

And at this moment, the galloping carriage suddenly stopped.

Lian Zhi'er's thin body subconsciously threw himself forward, almost falling into his arms.

She hurriedly reached out to push, and then her thin body fell backwards again, and she almost fell on the carriage.

Ruan Lu stretched out his hand and fished her back, otherwise she would have to fall and bleed.

"How do you drive the car?" Ruan Lu rebuked unhappily, "Go back and get the punishment." ”

And at this moment, he heard the guards outside say respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, Lord Shi Ran asks to see." ”

Lian Zhi'er in the carriage only felt a tightness in her heart, and subconsciously wanted to get up, her hand had already touched the curtain beside her, but at this moment, Ruan Lu looked at her with a smile, and there was already a warning in her eyes.

Lian Zhi'er knew that Ruan Lu was a royal nobleman, and Shi Ran was just a minister in the court, so naturally he couldn't fight him.

"What, want to go out and find him?" He leaned over and whispered slowly in her ear. "Then this son promises that your scholar Shi will not live for a few days."

Lian Zhi'er had to sit down beside him, but he hugged her shoulders and said in a cold voice, "Let him come and talk." ”

Even his tone is so arrogant and unstoppable.

Lian Zhi'er clearly saw a figure walking into the car, and no one could see anyone through the veil.

"What?" Ruan Lu was extremely arrogant, "I heard that Lord Shi ordered someone to turn over the lower reaches of the Yellow River, I don't know if anyone can find it?" ”

Shi Ran's voice was very faint, "I haven't found it, I have already brought some of her old clothes back to Beiliang for King Yan Cheng to set up a mound for her." ”

Tears fell down her eyes, and she was about to speak, but Ruan Lu covered her mouth and didn't let her make any sound.

"It's a shame." Ruan Lu's voice was mocking, "Lord Shi specially stopped the frame of this world, is this just to say this?" ”

"But I don't think she's going to die." Shi Ran's voice outside the carriage was faint, "If His Royal Highness the Prince hears about her one day in the future." Please let me know. ”

"Why does this son know about that woman's letter, when this son found her, it was not for the humiliation of the divorce, now that she is dead, this son feels only happy in his heart."

"It's fine." Shi Ran said slowly, "Farewell." ”

When the figure outside disappeared in front of Lian Zhi'er, she raised her head, but saw Ruan Lu's face with endless mockery, "It seems that no one in this world will know your news anymore, and you will never be able to return to Beiliang in this life." ”

Lian Zhi'er suddenly raised her eyes, and there was only despair in her eyes.

*******

The carriage quickly stopped at the side gate of the princess's mansion, and Ruan Lu had already gotten out of the carriage at this time.

Lian Zhi'er carried her skirt and stepped on the stool brought by the maids, and followed.

However, at this moment, I saw a person dressed as a grandmother coming over, and the maids around him were carrying some copper basins.

"His Royal Highness, the eldest princess said that Lian'er is a guilty person, and her body is also unclean, so she has to follow the rules of our mansion to go to bad luck, and please don't blame His Royal Highness."

Ruan Lu raised his eyebrows, and only said slowly, "Since it is my mother's order, I can do whatever I want." ”

Lian Zhi'er was only a little puzzled, but looking at the fierce and vicious appearance of the grandmother, as if she was going to eat her, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

And at this very moment. But I saw that the grandmother shook her hand, and then the maids poured the charcoal in a few copper basins on the ground, accompanied by the sound of "crackling", and even the branches felt a burst of heat far away.

"I heard that you are from Beiliang, I don't know our Central Plains, as long as you cross the charcoal, the evil on your body will not be able to follow you."

Lian Zhi'er was a little stunned, only looking at the charcoal all over the ground, if he allowed it to step on it. Isn't it going to burn her feet?

She looked at Ruan Lu on the side, her eyes were full of pleading, and she only thought that he could save herself by saying a word.

But Ruan Lu didn't care at all, just looked at her with cold eyes, but he already had an impatient look, "Hurry up, do you want this son to wait for you personally?" ”

The feeling of despair spread to her limbs, and he didn't even help her.

He's right. When you enter the mansion of the eldest princess, you will miss the prison.

She gritted her teeth and slowly stepped on the burning coals, and then a heart-rending sensation came from her toes, her thin body trembled constantly, and her forehead was covered with fine sweat.

She walked step by step, and every step seemed to be on the edge of a knife.

Ruan Lu slowly turned his head away, and the fingers hidden under his sleeves were clenched and gurgling.

The grandmother kept looking at Ruan Lu, and when she saw that he didn't say a word, she seemed very satisfied.

Lian Zhi'er finally passed, and she was holding on to the wall, trembling all over.

"Let's go into the house." Ruan Lu had already walked over and held her shoulder carelessly, "Follow me to see my mother." ”

Lian Zhi'er went to the eldest princess's house, but it was four years ago, when she went to withdraw from her family, and in the future, it seems to have become more gorgeous and extravagant.

Ruan Lu and Lian Zhi'er stood outside the door, and soon a grandmother walked out, "The eldest princess told Her Royal Highness and the girl to go in." ”

Lian Zhi'er has already given birth to an heir for Ruan Lu, but these slaves are still called Lian Zhi'er girls, presumably the eldest princess has not yet recognized Lian Zhi'er's identity, and even the identity of the concubine is not given to her.

Lian Zhi'er only followed Ruan Lu and walked forward slowly, and he deliberately slowed down, as if he had been waiting for her.

Suddenly, he lowered his voice and said slowly, "If you want to live well, you will never tell your true identity, the biggest insult my mother has received in her life is that you came to quit four years ago." ”

Lian Zhi'er nodded slowly, "Yes." ”

After all, there was a look of intolerance in his eyes, "Everything passed quickly." ”

She was a little puzzled, but by this time the two of them had already entered the house.

But in the palatial room, a woman who still had charm was sitting on a chair, surrounded by dresses and maids and servants, and Fu Yunhuang was also sitting beside her. Slowly, a room full of people was talking and laughing, and it seemed to be very lively.

However, when Lian Zhi'er entered the house, everyone's faces became weird, and even the words were stopped, and one by one their eyes just quietly looked at Lian Zhi'er's body, and even the silence in the room could hear a needle clearly.

"Mother." Ruan Lu slowly spoke, "This is Lian'er." ”

The eldest princess's needle-like gaze passed through Lian Zhi'er's body, and she could almost see a transparent hole.

In the past few days, Lian Zhi'er has only been recuperating from her injuries, and she was taken out of the mansion by Ruan Lu that day, I don't know where she was hiding, this is the first time that everyone has seen this woman who secretly left Ruan Lu's eldest son.

Lian Zhi'er slowly knelt down, "I've seen the princess." ”

When she first saw the eldest princess, how arrogant she was, at that time she had a father and a brother behind her, and she rode in the north and iron, and now she was just meat on a sticky board.

"My husband is back." Fu Yunhuang walked out slowly, only smiling and pulling Lian Zhi'er, looking intimate. "My sister is getting more and more spiritual, since she has entered the house, she will give tea to her mother."

The eldest princess looked at Fu Yunhuang, praised in her heart that this child was really virtuous, and set her eyes on Lian Zhi'er's body.

But I saw that this girl was thin and almost out of shape, but it was not difficult to see that she was a beauty, beside Fu Yunhuang, who was stunning in the world, she didn't see the slightest inferiority, such a girl didn't show the slightest cowardice in front of everyone, and she was obviously also a capable person, but she was afraid that it would cause a big disaster in the future, so she felt more and more disliked.

Soon, a bowl of tea came over and handed it to Lian Zhi'er.

Lian Zhi'er took it, slowly walked in front of the eldest princess, and held it respectfully, "Please use tea for the eldest princess." ”

The eldest princess's gaze crossed her cheeks and smiled, "I drank too much, I don't want to drink it this time, just drink it when I feel thirsty after a while." ”

Everyone also knew that the eldest princess gave Lian Zhi'er a dismount at this time, and it seemed that the eldest princess really didn't like this woman.

Lian Zhi'er knew that without the eldest princess's instructions, she would not be able to get up, and they would not even be able to put down the teacup.

She had to grit her teeth and hold it respectfully.

But she hadn't eaten for two days, and Shicai's feet were burned again, and even her iron-beaten body couldn't stand such a toss, and she was sweating profusely for a while, and even her fingertips couldn't help shaking.

But the eldest princess didn't care at all, she only ordered someone to move a chair for Ruan Lu, and let Fu Yunhuang sit beside him, the family talked harmoniously, a harmonious scene, but only she seemed to be a superfluous obstacle.

Ruan Lu and Fu Yunhuang were talking, and occasionally the two of them whispered almost, in the eyes of outsiders, they were actually grinding their ears and temples, lingering and compassionate, even the fairy couple was nothing more than that.

And at this moment, I heard the maids reply, "Eldest princess, the master of the horse is here." ”

But I saw a burly man walk in, dressed in brocade clothes, with three similarities between his eyebrows and eyes, but his eyes were more kind, and he was a little sharper than Ruan Lu, but he was a kind character.
