The high window could see the gray night, and there was about half a moon hanging in the sky, but it was covered by dark clouds, sometimes bright and dark, and even the moonlight that shone into Gu Wanniang's cell came and went.

From time to time, there were rats scurrying around in the cell, and even the thatch on the ground was uncomfortably wet, Gu Wanniang huddled in the Zhao Prison in Dali Temple, she was being held pending trial on charges of murdering Fan Shaoshao, and today is the third day of her detention.

People who have not been tried in court will not be imprisoned in Zhaojiao, but Gu Wanniang is different, because the people in power don't want her to live.

Regardless of whether anyone has tried to visit her, the Zhao Prison in Dali Temple is not allowed to visit, not to mention that King Qin has already ordered that no one is allowed to see Gu Wanniang before asking about the beheading day.

Gu Wanniang was surrounded by death row inmates, almost everyone was covered with bloody wounds, probably whipped, even at night, from time to time, there were officials from Dali Temple who dragged one or two death row inmates out of the cell and were taken elsewhere. Some are dead, some are to be taken for interrogation.

Some of the people who were brought in for interrogation struggled and yelled for mercy, while others were dragged out without saying a word.

There is a Zhao prison in Dali Temple, and it is customary to enter vertically and go out horizontally.

It was another sleepless night, which was full of the smell of blood on the tip of her nose, and as soon as Gu Wanniang closed her eyes, she remembered the killing scenes in her previous life, Yi An's massacre of the other party, and the blood of the Gu Mansion flowed for more than three days. Thinking of this, Gu Wanniang always had no time to sleep, but she was so shocked that she was sweating and woke up again.

Zhao Prison never gave prisoners three meals a day, and the dead did not have to eat so much, but there would still be salty porridge at noon and steamed buns at night.

But before dawn today, an official messenger brought breakfast to Gu Wanniang, which was rice porridge and steamed buns, and a little pickles, which was considered a delicacy in this cell. The person who delivered the meal was an official with his head down, who just buried his head in delivering food to Gu Wanniang and did not talk to Gu Wanniang.

Gu Wanniang also didn't see it, lying on her side on the straw, completely ignoring the person who delivered the meal.

It seemed that the official was in a hurry to leave, and when he saw Gu Wanniang ignoring him, he was also a little anxious, and whispered to Gu Wanniang: "It was Gu Lao Taijun who sent me, and I will deliver the girl's three meals a day in the future, the girl just eats with confidence, and she won't be hungry." ”

"Please rest assured, the old lady and the third master are thinking of a way to save the girl."

"Got it." Gu Wanniang just said that she knew, but she didn't get up to eat, the official was anxious, and called Gu Wanniang again: "Girl, eat quickly, I can't stay here for too long, I'm not here on an errand, after the girl eats, I have to pack these things out, otherwise the uncle on the errand will see it, but he will scold me." ”

Gu Wanniang still ignored it, "Go back and tell my father and ancestors, don't worry about Wanniang, Wanniang will live well." ”

"Even more so, girl, don't go hungry."

Gu Wanniang staggered to her feet, she had indeed never had a full stomach several times, not only did the food of this death row prisoner be small, but also a lot of it was swishing, Gu Wanniang sometimes didn't eat if she couldn't eat, and besides, Gu Wanniang didn't eat, maybe she lived longer than eating.

Seeing Gu Wanniang approaching, the official picked up the food and gave it to Gu Wanniang with satisfaction, and looked at her with a courteous face.

Gu Wanniang looked at the official errand in front of her, the official was a little thin, the clothes were obviously ill-fitting, the sleeves were long, and the shoulders were wide, how could Zhaojiao have such a thin official?

Gu Wanniang picked up a steamed bun and put it on her mouth in the eyes of the official, but before she could enter her mouth, she suddenly stopped her movements, and said to the official: "This steamed bun is dirty, I don't want to eat it." "After that, put the steamed buns on the ground.

Seeing this, the official was puzzled, "How dirty, these are just made this morning, and they are still fresh and hot." ”

Gu Wanniang held up the steamed bun to the official, "Look, there's dirty things here." ”

The official messenger looked at the steamed bun raised by Gu Wanniang with a face, and in the next second, Gu Wanniang stuffed the steamed bun into the official's mouth.

How could he have expected that Gu Wanniang would have this action, the official felt the softness in his mouth, and was frightened, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Gu Wanniang with one hand, but he did not reprimand Gu Wanniang, because he had to spit it out before he ate it.

Although he only licked it, the 'official mission' also felt that he was going to die, and he spit out several mouthfuls in a row, making sure that he didn't leave any steamed buns in his mouth before stopping.

Gu Wanniang: "You have been vomiting for half a quarter of an hour, you are so afraid of death, and you still make a living for your master?" ”

"Gu Wanniang, you don't know what to do, and you're not happy to leave a whole corpse for you, then you just wait to be beheaded by the Queen of Autumn and the corpse will be separated." The 'official errand' was angry and scolded Gu Wanniang.

"It's time for the guard to change shifts, if you are found here, maybe it will affect your princess." Gu Wanniang smiled mockingly, Qingcheng has lived for the second time, and it is still such an inferior method, for fear that people will not know that they killed someone.

The eunuch pretended to be an 'official' who saw that he was not only discovered, but even guessed out with his master, and his face was a little scared, not because he was afraid that Gu Wanniang would find out, but because he exposed his master, Princess Qingcheng couldn't keep him.

Tossing a little tired, Gu Wanniang slowly leaned against the wall and continued to sit down, she had been hungry for a while, and wasting a little more physical strength was a drain on herself.

Closing her eyes, after a quarter of an hour, Gu Wanniang heard the footsteps of someone approaching again, and it seemed that she was also coming with food, and put down the food box in front of Gu Wanniang's cell.

There are a lot of things in the food box, such as the porridge of eight treasure lotus seeds, the rice crackers in Xicheng, the mung bean cakes in the shops on the street, etc., all of which Gu Wanniang loves to eat. It seems that this person is fully prepared, Gu Wanniang: "What's going on today, everyone wants my name, and it's not long before I will be questioned and beheaded after the trial, why can't I stay for a few more days?" ”

"You're not going to die."

Hearing the voice of the person who came, Gu Wanniang was surprised, it was Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu is obviously not doing well now, and he is not high-spirited because he followed the right master, and even the whole person is a little depressed and depressed, in his previous life, Cheng Yu looked like this when he found that he couldn't support himself and couldn't save Ah Ren.

"Is Cheng Shizi here to see me off for the last time? It's bothering the world to remember. ”

Gu Wanniang's voice was cold and weak, but there was obvious indifference and detachment in her tone.

"Do you hate me so much? Since the time of peace, we have become like this? ”

Gu Wanniang: "No hate, where does hatred come from without love?" ”

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, yes, now she doesn't even bother to give alms to herself.

"I don't know when you've been different, but I haven't changed my heart and friendship for you."
