Chapter 7: A New Mission

Kong Yan also asked casually just now, how did she know that the girl in front of her was actually the daughter of Wu Bohou, and then thought about it carefully, only then did she notice the hidden depression in the girl's voice.

There are three major families in this raid, the Lu family of Wubohou Mansion, the Mo family of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and the Confucian Mansion of the Guozi Priest.

The reason is that Wu Bohou was accused of fornicating with foreign enemies, and when it comes to the accident in the Confucian Mansion, he can't be separated from the Lu family, so if he is someone else, he has long been blamed, and Kong Yan didn't care about this.

She understands that the three families are the prince's faction, and they have been suppressed, and it is just a partisan dispute, and now it is the son of the concubine, King Rui, who is in the ascendant.

Wu Bohou died in battle, Wu Bohou's mansion was raided, this was three months ago, he was secretly manipulated in the prison, and he was able to survive now, he is still a woman, you can imagine how difficult it is.

Kong Yan couldn't help but get a little closer, "I rarely walk around outside on weekdays, mostly in the academy, I don't know what rank my sister ranks in the family?" ”

In her previous life, she had never been as good as her sister, so she rarely walked outside, and she was not familiar with the noble daughters of various families.

Lu Lian lowered his eyes, "I am second among sisters, but I have been in poor health since I was a child, so I have been raised in Zhuangzi, and I only returned to the house a few days ago." ”

Lu Lian does have a younger sister, and he is still a twin, outsiders don't know about it, their brother and sister have been in poor health, the younger sister has been raised in Zhuangzi all these years, heard that his father had an accident, and the seriously ill sister went back to the house, before getting the letter of the house, the sister hanged herself in order to keep him, so that he could pretend to be his sister, not the older male heir of the Lu Mansion, which allowed him to escape assassination.

He didn't want to live reluctantly, thinking of his sister's death, thinking of his brother and sister-in-law handing over his brother Ye to him before he died...... It's just that who would have thought that those people were vicious, and even the woman didn't let go, and the smell of blood came up in his mouth, and he swallowed it again.

Kong Yan fell silent.

It was not because I felt that there was a problem with what the other party said, but on the way to exile in the previous life, the Kong family and the Mo family were together, and there was no one in the Lu Mansion at all, and later I returned to Kyoto to hear people discuss in private, saying that there were only two people left in the Lu Mansion in the end, and there was also a son of the prince of the Wu Bohou Mansion, who was only three years old, and the two died of illness on the road just after leaving Kyoto.

She raised her eyes to look at the girl in the haystack, the cell was very dark, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, only faintly seeing people lying sick and weak inside.

She asked tentatively, "You also have a nephew in prison, right?" ”

Lu Lian pursed his lips and looked at Kong Yan quietly, and when Kong Yan looked over, he silently looked away, "Yes." ”

That identity is right, thinking that in the previous life, 'Lu Lian' and her nephew died on the way to exile, Kong Yan was tight, Wu Bohou guarded the border for the people of Hou Zhou, but the last one was so miserable, how could it not make people feel cold.

She didn't meet it in her previous life, but she met it in this life, and she must protect these two bloodlines of the Lu Mansion.

"I believe that Master Hou was wronged, and one day he will be able to avenge his wrongs." In her previous life, she had witnessed everything.

As soon as her words fell, the girl suddenly looked at her, with stars and light in them, and her black eyes were like stars.

The girl's regain of hope is what Kong Yan is willing to see, "Do you know where your nephew is held?" Maybe we can find a way to bring him along. ”

Lu Lian's eyes dimmed, "I don't know." ”

Kong Yan understood why he was lost.

How could a three-year-old child, who was imprisoned in a prison three months ago and had no one to take care of him, survived.

But Kong Yan is a reborn person, knowing that the child is still alive, "I believe that it will be fine, you also see that my aunt can walk outside at will, see her tomorrow, I will ask her to help inquire." ”

Lu Lian was silent for a while before he said yes.

Kong Yan knew that it was useless to say anything now, so she could only wait for the facts to be found.

The cell is dark and damp, from the time she came in to the present, Kong Yan counted the time, it should be night, she shrunk in a corner of the cell, holding her arms with her hands to keep warm, there was just a heavy snowfall in Kyoto in March, and there was no quilt, but she was wearing a jacket, and it would be cold from the outside to the inside in this environment.

At this time, the man who had fainted in the cell finally woke up, his body moved, he wanted to sit up, but his body did not listen to him, his limbs hung weakly, but his body writhed on the ground, he was angry and wanted to scold, but he could only let out a cry.

Kong Yan was afraid of scaring Lu Lian, and explained, "I pierced his acupoint, don't worry about what he's doing." ”

Kong Yan couldn't hear Lu Lian speak, thinking that she was asleep, and slowly lowered her eyes, as for the man who had been talking all the time, he didn't pay attention to him at all, but he made a move, which soon attracted the movement of the jailer, and Kong Yan couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

The jailer scolded and whipped the man through the iron fence, and Kong Yan moved his body to the corner again, for fear of hitting himself, until the man didn't dare to make a sound anymore, and the jailer left with a curse.

At night, Kong Yan, who fell into a deep sleep, was faintly awakened by a low panting, she woke up and found that it was Lu Lian in the haystack who had a fever, she hurriedly took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, and whispered to persuade her to swallow the pill, Lu Lian, who was in a daze, seemed to hear her voice, and obediently swallowed the cut pill in her mouth, but she was shivering coldly.

Kong Yan knew that it was cold in the prison, so she came in wearing a thick jacket, and she didn't care too much about it at the moment, so she directly opened the jacket, stopped Lu Lian into her arms, and piled the haystack around, and the two of them buried it tightly.

Tossing and turning for a day during the day, so many things happened in the prison, Kong Yan was tired and sleepy, and in a daze, she felt that the body in her arms was not trembling, and her hand touched her forehead again, and the fever subsided, and then she fell asleep deeply.

The next day, when Kong Yan woke up, she felt that her body was stiff, her hands and feet were numb and unconscious, and she was still holding Lu Lian tightly in her arms.

In the prison, there are only two meals, and breakfast is usually divided until noon.

The man in the same cell also woke up, Xu was beaten by the whip yesterday, and was frightened by Kong Yan's movements, as soon as Kong Yan woke up, he immediately twisted his body and lay aside, looking at Kong Yan vigilantly.

A person who will not threaten himself, Kong Yan didn't pay attention to it, and when she heard Lu Lian's side move, Kong Yan walked over and squatted down and took out another pill from her arms for her.

"The medicine should be taken regularly, and I'll see if I can get some water in a while." Lu Lian's lips were dry and cracked, and Kong Yan looked at it in pain.

Lu Lian thanked him and swallowed the pill obediently, the two were very close, so close that the other party's faint breath could hit Kong Yan's face, Kong Yan's back was inexplicably numb, as if something had crawled, and finally hit her heart.

She hurriedly straightened up, thinking that she might not be used to being so close to people, and at Lu Lian's puzzled gaze, she laughed dryly, "The cooker is here, look at what you have to eat today." ”

After saying that, she couldn't wait to slap herself, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here? In a place like the Heavenly Prison, I still expect to give you a different kind of food every day, and I will only think so when my brain is kicked by a donkey.

Behind her, Lu Lian stared at her back, and Kong Yan didn't realize that she was in the middle of nowhere.
