Lu Ziyue smiled when she heard this: "Ah Pei is not just a slave to me, she has been by my side since I was very young, and it has been so many years, I can't easily abandon her." ”

With a sigh, he pulled the cloak on his shoulders: "Besides, I'm just going there to have a look." ”

"Although this is the case, but the princess should also be careful, the prison of Dali Temple hides dirt and dirt, if the princess accidentally contaminates something dirty, I am afraid that the prince will be angry again."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he said with some worry: "But now that the princess has received the favor of the prince, she should indeed take people out of the prison of Dali Temple earlier. ”

"In that case, I'll trouble you."

After speaking, the two of them didn't waste much time, the housekeeper had already prepared the carriage, and after getting into the carriage, the coachman went to Dali Temple.

Shen Xie is not the kind of person who doesn't admit it after all, since he has promised Lu Ziyue, he will help her take care of many things.

It's like when they just arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, they saw the officials kneeling on the ground.

The one who is the leader is Wu Liang, the secretary of Dali Temple.

"We're looking at the princess regent."

He pounded his head on the ground, almost immediately.

"Get up, you know the reason why this palace is here today, let's open the skylight and say something, I want Ah Pei, and I'm going to take her away immediately."

Lu Ziyue stepped down from the carriage, and Xiao Qi stood behind her.

Both of their eyes were focused on Wu Liang, who was kneeling on the ground.

So the eyes of the two of them were too sharp, Wu Liang couldn't help wiping the cold sweat overflowing on his forehead with his sleeve, he stiffened his neck, and his body trembled slightly: "This, according to the regent's meaning, the princess can indeed take the slave and maid today, but we have some problems here, I'm afraid that the princess may have to wait a few more days." ”

Lu Ziyue's face changed when he heard this, could it be that Shen Xie suddenly turned his face and didn't recognize anyone again?

But today I went out so smoothly, and this Dali Siqing also greeted me at the door, and things should be unchangeable.

But it was said that there was no problem on Shen Xie's side, and it was Ah Pei......

A bad conjecture appeared in her heart, she took a few steps forward and walked directly in front of Wu Liang, her eyes were piercing: "Tell me, is it that Ah Pei has an accident, and have you tortured her!" ”

Wu Liang didn't expect Lu Ziyue's reaction to be so fierce, and he didn't dare to continue to bow his head and speak, but raised his head and said: "Miss Ngapoi is a person from the Great Yue Kingdom, not to mention that she has been serving in the Regent Palace, we have reason to suspect that she is a traitor of the Great Yue Kingdom and wants to steal the confidential information of the Regent Palace." ”

Wu Liang said and cautiously raised his head to observe Lu Ziyue's expression, seeing that her face was getting worse and worse, and he also regretted the cruelty of using torture before.

However, they did not dare to disobey the orders from above, and it was really a fight between the gods and mortals.

Lu Ziyue was in a bad mood after determining that Ah Pei was tortured, and now that she saw Wu Liang distracted, she was even more angry.

The sleeves of the shirt were flicked back fiercely, and the sound of fine silk piercing the air reached the ears of everyone present.

Everyone's hearts trembled violently, including some of the people present who were watching the excitement.

Most of them saw this princess who was hiding in the regent palace for the first time and barely went out, and they didn't know what her temperament was, but they all guessed that she had a gentle temper, after all, since she married the regent, the palace had not died much.

The impression in my mind was too deep-rooted, and now I accidentally saw the angry appearance of this princess, and I still couldn't believe it.

However, Lu Ziyue didn't know the thoughts in their minds, she clenched her fists: "No matter what kind of punishment you inflict on her, you have to see her now, if her life is in danger, Dali Siqing, this palace doesn't dare to say anything else, I can still take your life." ”

"Yes, the princess can rest assured that Miss Ngapoi has absolutely no worries about her life."

Wu Liang was completely relieved after hearing her last sentence.

Fortunately, he kept an eye on the torture when he was tortured, but he only beat the girl seriously, but did not hurt her life.

Otherwise, now, he would not be able to keep the position of Dali Siqing who has been sitting for so many years.

Wu Liang had an expression for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Lu Ziyue didn't pay attention, but Xiao Qi could see it clearly.

Her face was gloomy, but she didn't embarrass Wu Liang here, but stretched out her hand to support Lu Ziyue, looked at him who was still kneeling and said: "Dali Siqing don't kneel yet, let's take us to find Miss Apoi, the princess is very worried about Miss Ngapoi now, and if the injury is really serious, then please go to the doctor immediately." ”

She said it in an orderly manner, and every point was taken into account.

Lu Ziyue also nodded when he heard this: "You can take me right now." ”

"Yes, the princess and the little seventh girl, please follow the lower officials in."

Wu Liang trembled and got up, then turned around and walked into Dali Temple to lead the way for the two of them.

The prison of Dali Temple is built underground, and there is no sunlight all year round.

The cells inside had no windows, and each cell was staggered, so that the prisoners could not see who was on the other side, and they could not hear anything other than the sound of the guards walking around.

They were also unable to speak, and would be beaten if they accidentally made a noise that the patrolling jailers would see.

Wu Liang has a torch in his hand, there is no light in this prison, and the only light that the people who are locked up can see every day is the faint light emitted after a candle is lit by a candle that gets up tomorrow morning.

"Miss Ngapoi was locked up alone in the innermost, because our Dali Temple has not locked up women recently, and it is inconvenient to lock Miss Ngapoi and men together, so we arranged a separate room for her."

Wu Liang said as he turned his head to look at the number written on the door, and he kept walking with the two of them into the depths.

Lu Ziyue's heart tingled every time she took a step forward, if it weren't for Xiao Qi supporting her, I was afraid that she would not be able to go on a long time.

Ngapoi has never suffered like this, and he has never stayed in such a place.

And she is so afraid of the dark, so afraid of pain......

Lu Ziyue felt as if her heart had been pricked by countless thin needles.

Xiao Qi noticed her abnormal mood, turned his head and looked at her with some concern: "Princess, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine."

Lu Ziyue shook her head, she was very panicked now, and she didn't want to say anything to reveal emotions that shouldn't be leaked.

Xiao Qi originally wanted to ask more, but Wu Liang, who was leading the way in front, had already stopped.

The prison was so quiet that it was supposed to be inaudible except for the sound of the three of them walking.

But at this moment, Lu Ziyue clearly heard the emotional voice of the man in the tightly sealed prison in front of him, and the miserable sound of the woman in pain.

The woman's voice sounded heartbreaking, as if she was enduring some severe pain.

Xiao Qi's face changed instantly when she heard this voice, and before she could turn around, there was a tingling pain in her hand.

Lu Ziyue's long nails were shattered in the palm of her hand, and fine blood flowed out from between the nails, and Xiao Qi could clearly feel that in addition to the pain, there was also wetness in the palm~.

Wu Liang also sensed that the situation was wrong, and he hurriedly took out a bunch of keys from his waist by the faint light of the torch and opened the prison in front of him.

There was no light in the prison, it was pitch black, but because of the faint light emitted by the torches, the three people present saw the situation inside.

A muscular man was pressing on top of a woman in a torn prison uniform and her exposed skin covered in blood.

There was a lot of blood on her face, and her head was on the side at the moment, and there was no look in her big eyes, and she looked numb.

Lu Ziyue was watching at the door, and she barely recognized the woman inside as Ah Pei.

The movement of opening the door was very loud, and the evil man also noticed this, and he thought it was the jailer who came to play with him, so he was very impatient to withdraw from Ah Pei's body, and said while putting on his pants: "Isn't it time for you to play yet?" Besides, this woman is like a dead fish, and there is no meaning at all. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and saw three people standing in the doorway.

His face was defeated, Wu Liang couldn't stand anymore, he knelt directly on the ground, and his voice was full of pleading: "The princess forgives her sins." ”

His voice was very pitiful, but Lu Ziyue couldn't listen to what she said.

She broke free of Xiao Qi's hand and walked towards Ah Pei, who was lying on the ground like a broken flower, like a walking corpse.

Every step was very heavy, and it took a long time to get to Ah Pei's side.

She bent down, resisting the urge to cry, and wanted to reach out to touch Ah Pei, but she saw the small wounds on her body, and also smelled the smell of erosion coming from her body.

The smell of slowly rotting like carrion.

Lu Ziyue swallowed all the grief in her stomach, and she tried her best to lower her voice to make her voice appear extremely gentle: "Ah Pei, I'm here to take you back, did you hear what I said?" ”

"I'm Lu Ziyue, you must know who I am, right?"

"Ah Pei, look at me, can you look at me, I'll take you back, it's all over Ah Pei, it's all over."

After that, Lu Ziyue stretched out his hand and wanted to hold Ah Pei, who was lying on the ground and almost lost his life, in his arms.

But Ah Pei turned over directly, her voice was already very hoarse, and if she didn't listen carefully, she wouldn't know what she was talking about.

Xiao Qi just watched her mouth move slightly, but Lu Ziyue was very close, and she heard every word Ah Pei said clearly.

Ah Pei said, "Princess, kill me." ”
