Volume 1: The Palace's Fortune Chapter 11: Sometimes it's better to be alive than to be dead

Shen Xie took Lu Ziyue, and the two of them walked into the building one after the other.

The white-bearded old man was standing behind the gate at the moment, with the same smile on his face as always.

"After the prince goes in, he must pay attention to protecting his own safety, the people inside are not very sound, if he hurts the prince, the little old man can't afford this responsibility."

After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, he took out a bunch of keys from his waist and handed them to the prince: "All the locks in it can be opened with this bunch of keys, and there are different words on the keys, and different words correspond to different doors, so pay a little attention to the prince." ”

After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, he stepped aside and gave way to the two of them, and Shen Xie took the key from him and walked to the front.

Lu Ziyue naturally followed behind him, but just as she took the first step, the white-bearded old man suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her sleeve, pulling her steps to a halt.

His kind eyes were still filled with pity, and he sighed and said: "Princess Niangniang, sometimes it is better to live alone, it is better to die, especially those who have held power in their hands, they can't accept the sense of disparity brought by the incident and identity." ”

"What do you mean?" Lu Ziyue groaned in her heart, and she suddenly became a little flustered.

The old man with the white beard knew her identity, and he was already at this age, so it was impossible for him to lie to himself by talking casually.

Was he reminding himself of something, or was it the people in this building......

She suddenly became a little anxious and wanted to ask for clarification.

But the white-bearded old man knew in his heart what the prince was doing with this princess, and he couldn't bear to remind the princess for a while, but if he told everything about it, the prince would definitely not let him go.

He just shook his head: "There is nothing else, the princess should hurry up and follow the prince in, otherwise wait."

After a while, the princess couldn't find the princess. ”

After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, he stood there and stopped talking, even if Lu Ziyue wanted to ask him again, there was no way.

She saw that Shen Xie was indeed about to leave without a trace, so she hurriedly ran up with her skirt.

Shen Xie held the set of keys that the white-bearded old man had just handed him in his hand, he walked to an iron door, took out a handful of them from the keychain and began to unlock them.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ziyue could be sure that he must not have read the words on it clearly.

"Didn't the white-bearded old man just now say that you want to see the words on it?"

She reminded Shen Xie, lest this prince be in a bad mood if he couldn't open the lock after a while.

It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, there was a crisp sound from the black lock hanging on the iron door, and the black lock was opened in an instant.

Shen Xie pulled out the key from the black lock, and he said: "He did say this, but it's just a nonsense, every lock hanging on this keychain is exactly the same, no matter which one can open all the doors here." ”

After he finished speaking, he pushed the iron door open, and a long corridor appeared in front of them.

However, this corridor is a little different from the previous ones, not smooth stone walls, but iron gates.

There is a small space behind those iron gates, Lu Ziyue bit her lip, if she is not mistaken, this should be a prison.

"What are you bringing me to prison for?" She bit her lip and looked at the man with a mocking face, "Are you trying to lock me up here?" ”

She said the latter sentence directly without thinking about it, and after saying it, she was a little annoyed, Shen Xie couldn't have locked her up in such a place at all.

What's more, tomorrow the people from the Ministry of Rites will come to measure the clothes, and Shen Xie also needs a noble queen, so he won't do anything to himself at such a juncture.

Thinking of this, Lu Ziyue felt at ease.

She was about to speak when a sudden gust of wind blew and gave her goosebumps all over her body.

He shuddered.

Seeing this, Shen Xie took off his robe and draped it on Lu Ziyue's body, looking at the long corridor and countless iron gates, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, he pursed his thin lips and said.

"You are the princess of a country, have you ever known how your country deals with those who fail?"

Lu Ziyue knew what he meant by the kings of the dead country, so he shook his head: "My father never let me touch these things, not to mention that the Great Yue Kingdom rarely has wars with other countries, everyone lives in peace and quiet, and I have never heard of someone rebelling." ”

"Your father is very good to you, since he is reluctant to let you know, then I will tell you."

Shen Xie suddenly took her hand and walked to the nearest iron door, there was nothing alive in the iron door.

There was nothing else in the small space except for a broken bed with a moldy quilt on top of it, a urinal not far away.

Lu Ziyue was puzzled, she had read all the things installed in this space, and even took a very careful look at the surrounding environment.

Although the house is small and the things are simple, it is still clean.

Compared to those cells outside, I don't know how many times better.

"See this little room? Ah Yue, you may think that the condition of this room is not bad, at least compared to some other cells, I don't know how many times cleaner, if ordinary prisoners come in, their hearts will feel happy, but do you know who lives here? ”

Shen Xie took out the set of keys again: "Ah Yue, it's better to guess, if you guess correctly, I will take you to see what kind of life those people are living here." ”

"Are there those who have failed in your mouth, there are kings and nobles from other countries, betrayers from your country, or, some people with high positions and powers that you are not used to?"

Lu Ziyue could probably guess who the person behind the lock was, and she probably knew the purpose of Shen Xie bringing her here today.

The choice he made for himself should be to let his father and queen mother live, but he would be imprisoned in this place.

Losing his previous identity, he has been imprisoned here for the rest of his life and has not seen the light of day.

Not many people can endure such torture.

But you can live, even if you live unknowingly, you can live for a long time, but you are alive anyway.

You can breathe the air, you can see the world, and you can still have thoughts in your heart.

She struggled inwardly, not knowing what to do later.
