The prison was cold and damp, with the smell of decay everywhere. Rats scurried, accompanied by the groans of dying men and the screams of the interrogation room not far away. Everyone who is locked up here, whether they are the most heinous or the most vicious, has only numbness on their faces at this moment. It's like a walking corpse that has died early, waiting for the belated knife.

But there is one person who is different from them, Fang Jingyu is sitting in prison, she looks so clean and calm in the past, every jailer who passes by feels that she is not here to go to prison, as if she is in a guest house.

A man across from her saw that she hadn't said a word since she came in, and had been sitting in one position.

"I didn't expect that such a gentle and beautiful woman was also brought to this place. Why, looking at you like this, are you delusional that you can still get out? ”

Fang Jingyu glanced at the person coldly, then said with a sneer: "Don't compare me with you, I will be able to go out soon." ”

The man said disdainfully: "Hehe, the person who lived in your room last time also said the same, guess what?" Split up by five horses! ”

"Huh? You guys? Burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. I'm different, I'm the hero of Dayan! That's it, you don't understand! With that, she turned her head and continued to look at the narrow window on the other side, silent for a long time.

Late at night, all the people in the cell were "asleep", and one person pushed open the door and slowly walked to Fang Jingyu's cell door.

After closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, she felt that there was someone at the door, and hurriedly turned over and got up. Under the dim candlelight, Yan Linjun's face was reflected.

"Lord Wang!" Fang Jingyu was overjoyed, and rushed forward and said, "I knew you would come to save me!" ”

Yan Linjun smiled slightly and said: "You did a good job, of course this king wants to praise you!" ”

With that, he opened the cell door and walked in.

As soon as he walked in, Fang Jingyu stepped forward and hugged him and said, "Lord Wang! You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a long time! I've been waiting for you all these years! ”

"Haven't I been by your side all these years?" Yan Linjun gently touched her head and said, "Put you in prison, you have been wronged!" ”

"Don't be aggrieved!" She shook her head and said, "As long as I can share your worries for the prince, I am not wronged at all!" ”

Yan Linjun showed a gentle smile and said: "Over the years, you have passed a lot of information between me and Beiban through their business contacts in Jinxiufang. You know, I didn't want to marry you to Boss Hou. But this kind of thing has to be done by someone I trust very much, so you can only do it! ”

"I understand!" Fang Jingyu looked at Yan Linjun and said, "Lord Wang, I'm fine." Over the years, I haven't let that stupid pig touch me, I'm still your person! After speaking, she hugged Yan Linjun tightly.

"Tomorrow, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department will interrogate you, do you know how to answer?"

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, I won't confess to death, even if they kill me, I won't reveal a single penny! I won't even say it's related to you. ”

Yan Linjun nodded with satisfaction, then helped her tidy up her clothes and said, "I know you will be like this, but ah, I have a question, did Huertu come to Dayan because you communicated with him privately?" ”

Fang Jingyu's smile froze, and she saw Yan Linjun's gentle eyes gradually become cold, and the terrifying killing intent spread, this was his warning.

"Wang ······ Lord Wang, Khurtu is so disrespectful to you! I know that sooner or later, you will have to get rid of him, so let the concubine help you! ”

"It's pretty good, but you shouldn't have involved Zhao Yuru!"

Fang Jingyu listened to it and hurriedly defended and said, "I really didn't know that Zhao Yuru would go to the Reclining Buddha Temple!" I wanted to stun her that day, but the two stupid men of Khurtu tied her up too! I thought about it, and let Zhao Yuru kill Huertu. But I don't want Zhao Yu to be so useless! That's all I have to do! ”

"You also know that by the side of this king, if you fail once, it means something!" Yan Linjun said with some regret: "Jingyu, you have violated my taboo by making a decision to get rid of Khurtu privately. ”

"Lord Wang!" She hurriedly knelt in front of King Huaiyang and said, "That Khurtu doesn't have the slightest respect for your words. I don't allow anyone to do this to you, you once said that Su Meng's ascension to the throne is your purpose, then get rid of Khurtu! ”

"Do you think Grande is a good guy to get along with? Do you think I really want to support Su Meng to take the throne? As he spoke, his hand quietly grabbed her neck.

"Also, you actually peeked at my correspondence with Khurtu. I trust you so much that you peek at my letters behind my back? Well? ”

Only then did Fang Jingyu feel the threat of death. Compared with the threat of death, what scared her more was Yan Linjun's anger.

He's mad at himself!

"I'm sorry Lord Wang! It's me who has overstepped it! Fang Jingyu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Lord Wang, don't be angry with me, I was wrong, I beg you, don't be angry with me!" ”

"You peeked at my letters, speculated on my thoughts, wrote to Khurtu without permission, and finally killed him without permission. This pile of piles is stepping on the bottom line of this king! He squatted down, raised Fang Jingyu's chin and said: "But these kings can be forgiven, what this king can't forgive is that you didn't do things cleanly, leaving these handles, and people found you by touching the vine, do you know, because of your identity, it's easy to implicate me?" ”

Fang Jingyu only then felt that the matter was serious, and Yan Linjun seemed to be really angry!

"Zhao Yuru, it's all Zhao Yuru! It was she who harmed her, if it weren't for her, I would have killed Khurtu in Beiban now, and I would have fulfilled all your wishes for you, Lord Wang! ”

"What a silly girl! But now, instead of fulfilling the king's wishes, you have become a burden! ”

Fang Jingyu trembled and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Wang!" ”

Yan Linjun helped her up, and then said to her, "Do you still keep that hairpin?" ”

"What?" Fang Jingyu was a little puzzled.

"Now this king does have a wish, and he needs it to be fulfilled!" After speaking, he pointed to the silver hairpin on Fang Jingyu's bun, and then turned to leave.

The candles on the wall were dim and bright, as if no one had come, but Fang Jingyu knew what she should do.

"Lord Wang, it was Jing Yu who did something wrong!"

Five days later, Fang Jingyu was taken to Dali Temple.

Dali Temple Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu, as well as Yan Linjun and Ge Lang were all sitting there. Yan Linjun turned the jade wrench in his hand, he had already said everything that needed to be said yesterday, and he knew how Fang Jingyu would choose.

Zhao Yuru also came, and Lin Yufu was also brought by her.

They sat on the sidelines and watched quietly as they interrogated Fang Jingyu.

I saw her kneeling in the center, and her eyebrows and eyes had long since lost the calmness of that day. Only the same numbness and sluggishness as the prisoners of that day. Only occasionally when he caught a glimpse of Yan Linjun would there be a trace of anger in his eyes.

For her, Yan Linjun is all she has. Now that he has been abandoned by him, it is meaningless to live by himself.

Thinking of this, Fang Jingyu showed a desolate smile.

Lin Yufu was a little nervous, she looked at Yan Linjun, her former concubine had killed the Great Commander of the Northern Barbarians. In other words, others have long been frightened and afraid that they will be implicated. But Yan Linjun looked indifferent, presumably paved the way back.

"This really won't implicate the prince?" She asked, looking down.

"Don't worry, even if Fang Jingyu is killed, he won't climb out of the King of Huaiyang!" Zhao Yuru said confidently.

"Why is that?"

"Why? Of course it's because of love, silly girl! Zhao Yuru shook his head and said, "What? Aren't you going to find his handle and arrest him? ”

"No, I'm just sorry for it!" Lin Yufu sighed and said, "Let him clean it again!" ”

In this case, Fang Jingyu should be unable to escape death.

Thinking of this, she frowned and glanced at Yan Linjun, who was talking to Grand. The woman he once loved was about to set foot on Huangquan Road, and he was indifferent, and even a little happy.

"It's cold-blooded!" She cursed secretly.

The trial was presided over by Zhong Linfeng, the secretary of Dali Temple. He looked at the lovely man kneeling on the ground, and sighed secretly in his heart. It's a pity to be such a beautiful person.

"Hou Fang, this official asks you, did you write these letters?" Zhong Linfeng brought a stack of letters to Fang Jingyu through the guards.

She flipped through it, then nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Will you write in the North?"

"Yes!" She replied weakly.

Seeing this, Zhong Linfeng looked at Grand.

Ge Lang stood up, walked in front of Fang Jingyu, and asked in Northern Barbarian dialect, "Who instructed you?" ”

"No one!" Fang Jingyu also raised her head and answered her in Northern Barbarian dialect.

"Is it Yan Linjun?"

"No, it's all my idea to kill Khurtu!"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your family, your husband and daughter!"

At this time, Fang Jingyu suddenly laughed.

"I don't love my husband, that daughter was not born to me at all! I hate them! ”

Ge Lang's face turned cold, he turned his head to look at Zhong Linfeng, and said with that honest expression: "Lord Zhong, she really knows Northern Barbarian Language!" ”

"Good work!" Zhong Linfeng nodded and said, "Hou Fang, let me ask you, who is the person who corresponded with you?" ”

"The Great Commander of the Northern Barbarians, Khurtu!"

"You always knew who he was?"

Fang Jingyu didn't answer, just nodded.

At this time, Zhao Yuru stood up and pointed at her and said, "Then when I save you, why didn't you say it?" ”

Fang Jingyu looked at her coldly and said, "Because I want to borrow your knife and kill his people." Who knew you were so useless, you couldn't even kill a straw bale, so I had to do it myself! ”

"What do you say? I ······" Zhao Yuru was on the same page, but was tightly held by Lin Yufu.

Zhong Linfeng also coughed a few times and said, "Lord Zhao, this is the public court, please be quiet!" ”

"Humph!" Zhao Yuru sat down angrily and took a few sips of tea.

"Aren't you and Khurtu lovers?" Zhong Linfeng frowned and looked at the translated letters, which were full of some explicit love words, and he was a little sympathetic to Boss Hou.

"If it weren't for his obscenity, who would have written such disgusting things?" Fang Jingyu said numbly: "I once went to Beiban to buy goods, and when I met Khurtu, he forcibly occupied my body like this!" Master Grand, do you know why Khurtu always secretly comes to Dayan to live for a period of time every year? That's right, that's how he forcibly made me his lover. I hate him, but I can't do anything about him. With just a word from him, everything I have now will come to naught. Although I don't love Boss Hou, but Jinxiufang is my hard work, I can't just let him ruin it! But if I continue like this, I will be ruined by him! That's why I decided to break up with him! ”

Speaking of this, she sighed and said, "It's a pity that I met Mr. Zhao, and the original seamless plan was all in vain!" ”

"So all this is just your revenge?" Zhong Linfeng was a little surprised, it's so simple?

"Do you know who he is, and how much turmoil his death will cause?" Grand asked, somewhat angrily.

"Of course I know that the biggest beneficiary of this is you, Master Grand!" She looked at Grand, a smile on her lips.

"I originally planned to kill him after returning to Beiban with him, and if I died in Beiban, he would not threaten Dayan. It's a pity that God won't let him live long! ”

"You're so vicious!" Grand said.

"Am I vicious? Is it not evil to perpetuate my Khurtu? Fang Jingyu sneered and said, "Today you judged me, but because I killed a Northern Barbarian commander. Lord Zhong, I want to ask you, if it were an ordinary person who died, what would you do? ”

Zhong Linfeng's face was a little embarrassed.

"You don't dare to say? I'll tell you for you! Three years ago, the bully in the east of the city also forcibly seized the woman of the good family in this way, and their husband and wife couldn't bear to kill the bully, and you sentenced them not guilty! At that time, people were cheering, our Dayan finally came out with a blue sky master! Time has passed, and this blue sky has also turned dark! ”

Lin Yufu listened to it on the side, a little moved.

Just because Khurtu is an aristocrat, and because his death will cause a struggle between the two countries, some black and white things are mixed into gray. If what Fang Jingyu said is true, then Huertu is damned. But now, Fang Jingyu also has to lose her life.

This is still a circle controlled by the powerful, and the reason why she used to think that everything has a fair word is just because she herself is also a powerful person.

In other words, exchanging a person's life for the peace of the two countries, she may choose the same approach as Lord Zhong.

It's not dark, it's just darkness that has been tacitly tolerated for thousands of years.

At worst, they call it sacrifice. But in the eyes of those who were sacrificed, it was nothing more than a joke.

"Diao woman! Since the evidence is conclusive, then this official will hand you over to Lord Grand! After speaking, Zhong Linfeng leaned back, and this hot potato was handed over to Gelang.

Grand stood up, looked at her, and said, "I want her to kneel before my eldest brother's grave and keep vigil night and night until she dies!" ”

To put it bluntly, I want to save her life and bring her back to Beiban!

Hearing this, Fang Jingyu laughed. She looked at Yan Linjun, who had not spoken, with nostalgia in her eyes.

"Take me back? Wake? Aren't you afraid that I will dig up the bones of Khurtu, and the bones will be broken and scattered, and you will never be able to live again? ”

"If you dare to disobey, I will punish you with the punishment of the Northern Barbarians!"

"Good! Then you go back with a corpse and torture it slowly! ”

After speaking, she suddenly pulled out a silver hairpin from her sleeve and stabbed it into her throat without blinking.

"Ahh Zhao Yuru stood up in fright. Everyone present was also stunned.

Before coming in, she had searched her body, and she didn't leave any sharp objects on her body, and the hairpin ring was unloaded cleanly, just to prevent her from breaking herself! But I don't want to be negligent!

The hairpin was poisonous, and the poison attacked quickly, and when she arrived on the ground, her eyes kept looking at Yan Linjun.

"I'm sorry, Lord Wang. Let Jing Yu serve you again in the next life! She struggled to climb to Yan Linjun, but Yan Linjun just stood up, stretched and said, "It seems that there is no business for me here, Lord Zhong, Lord Liu, leave it to you!" ”

After speaking, he didn't even look at Fang Jingyu, walked in front of Lin Yufu, put his arm around her shoulders and left.

Lin Yufu was surprised by his move, and hurriedly struggled for a while before wanting to speak.

"Don't say it, she deserves it! Let's go! Yan Linjun didn't give her a chance to speak, and almost forcibly took her away.

Zhao Yuru stayed where he was with a stunned face, and they ······ They just left themselves like that?

Turning her head, Fang Jingyu couldn't move anymore, but her eyes were still staring at the direction where Yan Linjun was leaving, until she was out of breath.

Zhao Yuru sighed and said, "Hey, no matter what you say is true or not, this love is true." Before he died, he watched his beloved man leave with other women in his arms, and he was also a poor person! ”

In the end, this matter came to a successful end with Fang Jingyu's self-determination. Both countries seem to be satisfied with the outcome, both avoiding war and giving an account to both countries. Even if this result is full of loopholes, it can't stand scrutiny.

But so what, at least the apparent peace between Dayan and Beiban was maintained again.

When Ge Lang left, Yan Linyu specially held a banquet to celebrate. The people of Shangjing are still busy, unaware that danger was once so close to them.

No one remembers Fang Jingyu, whose body was crushed by Grand's bones and dusted to pay tribute to the spirit of Khurtu.

Not a single hair remained.

On the way back, Lin Yufu leaned against the car window and said, "Lord Wang, have you ever loved this Mrs. Jing?" ”

She was talking about "Mrs. Jing", not "Mrs. Hou".

Yan Linjun took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "I like her a lot!" ”

"Were you sad when she died?"

"Nope! There's even a hint of ease! Yan Linjun said without hesitation: "In this way, I will be safe!" ”

Lin Yufu raised her eyes and looked at him, and then said lightly: "Will I have this day too?" ”

Yan Linjun wanted to answer perfunctorily, but when he saw Lin Yufu's eyes, he was speechless.

It was a look of numbness and despair that was the same as before Fang Jingyu's death, and the two seemed to have the ability to empathize in an instant.

"What do you want? This king will not do this to you! ”

After a while, Yan Linjun still lowered his head and told a lie.

But Lin Yufu didn't want to investigate the truth of his words.

"Lord, I don't want to live in the palace anymore. I want to go back to Qinyunju! ”

"Huh?" Yan Linjun felt a little curious.

Lin Yufu looked at the lively market outside the carriage and said softly: "I want to go back, my own life!" ”
