"You...... How did you get here!? Yuan Zhen's eyes widened, and his voice stumbled a little unprecedentedly, "Who brought you in?" ”

"This doesn't matter, Gonggong Yuan." Bai Ling's eyes were half-open, calmly looking at the deep and dark underground, she suddenly raised her head, "It's over in a while, you wait for me here, okay?" ”

Yuan Zhen's throat moved, and he nodded after a long time.

In the dim light, Bai Ling touched the wall and walked slowly down without making a sound.

It wasn't until her figure completely disappeared at the end of the stairs that Yuan Zhen felt a chill float on his back.

……

The third dungeon of the Penal Division has been emptied.

With the exception of one of the most cells, where the lights were on, the rest of the cells were eeriely silent.

Jia Yuchun, who had been walking fast before, slowed down at this time, he felt that his throat was a little dry, and he couldn't lift it under his feet as if he had been filled with lead.

In the flickering candle flame, the upper figure of the beauty was cast on the wall opposite her, just like the scene he saw when he passed by the window of Chuxiu Palace before.

Jia Yuchun clenched the food box in his hand, gritted his teeth, and forced himself to keep moving forward.

This slight footstep aroused the alarm of the prisoners, "Who? ”

As soon as this voice came, Jia Yuchun felt that his eyes were slightly hot, he tried his best to suppress the choking in his throat, and called out in a soft and light voice, "Niangniang......"

Lin Jieyu stopped her hand that was drawing her eyebrows and looked at the outside of the prison, Jia Yuchun's figure slowly appeared, as if she was a little embarrassed to refuse and welcome.

"It's Father-in-law Jia." Lin Jieyu's gaze returned to the mirror again, she smiled in her words, raised her hand to outline the last stroke of her eyebrows, "The emperor sent you?" ”

Jia Yuchun didn't answer, and swept his gaze to the cell where Lin Jieyu lived.

Unlike other places, the ground here is covered with several layers of carpet, and the top is covered with a layer of flannel, Lin Jieyu sat barefoot at the table, her feet stepped directly on the soft velvet cloth, and she was slightly disturbed with some restlessness.

Behind her, there was a large wooden bed.

In the past, when he was in Chuxiu Palace, Jia Yuchun never dared to sweep Lin Jieyu's soft couch with his eyes openly, and now it is the same. But standing here, everything in the prison can be seen at a glance, Lin Jieyu woke up not long ago, and the soft pillows on the bed have not been cleaned up, all of them are piled up in a mess.

On this level, there was hardly any rancid smell, just the air was still damp - there was a freshly lit incense in the corner, which seemed to be trying to dispel the damp smell.

It can be seen that during these days, Lin Jieyu has been living well alone in the Criminal Division.

After drawing her eyebrows, Lin Jieyu opened the small porcelain box of lipstick, she directly dipped her little finger in some bright red cream, and gently wiped it on her upper lip very casually, and the face in the mirror added a little more delicate.

Lin Jieyu pursed her lips and smiled, held up the small bronze mirror on the wooden table, and slowly changed the angle to appreciate her beauty, until Jia Yuchun's feet appeared in the mirror, she suddenly realized that this person was still standing there.

She put the bronze mirror and turned around, "Father-in-law Jia?" ”

"Ah......" Jia Yuchun suddenly realized that he had been watching Lin Jieyu put on makeup all along, he lowered his head in shame and shame, and said in a low voice, "I'll send something to Niangniang." ”

Lin Jieyu's cell was unlocked, but Jia Yuchun didn't dare to trespass, he pushed open the door with his back, put the food box by the door, and then immediately retreated to the door.

Lin Jieyu walked over gracefully and brought the food box to the table.

"I want to see what kind of breakfast it is today, but it's my turn to ask Grandpa Jia to personally bring it to me——"

The moment she opened the food box, Lin Jieyu's voice stopped abruptly, and there was no food in the food box sent by Jia Yuchun, all that was some jewelry.

Lin Jieyu gently took out a beaded hairpin with a golden tassel tassel from it, and immediately burst into a smile.

She took the hairpin to the candle flame and looked at it carefully, her eyes were full of warmth and joy, "The emperor really understands me, just with these rouge gouaches brought before, I can't comb out any beautiful patterns at all,"

"...... Do you like it? ”

"I like it," Lin Jieyu replied with a smile, "You can just reply like this, thank the emperor on my behalf." ”

“…… These things were not given by the emperor. Jia Yuchun's voice was so light that almost only he could hear it, but in this silent and uninhabited prison, every word clearly hit Lin Jieyu's ears, she turned her head to look at Jia Yuchun with a little surprise, and heard him continue, "...... All of them, I chose them for my mother. ”

Lin Jieyu furrowed her eyebrows slightly.

Jia Yuchun used all his courage to be able to raise his head to look directly into Lin Jieyu's eyes, and he whispered in a slightly trembling voice, "Niangniang...... I have come today to save you. ”

"Help me?" The smile on Lin Jieyu's face slowly faded, "This palace is doing well here, and when this turmoil passes, it will be safe." ”

Jia Yuchun also retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, "Niangniang...... This time it's different, now Long Live Lord is still so gentle to Niangniang, because ...... He doesn't know the identity of the mother yet, and when he does—"

A crisp sound made Jia Yuchun's words stop.

Lin Jieyu threw the hairpin in her hand back into the food box, and she slowly walked towards Jia Yuchun, still with her usual soft smile on her face, but she was a little more innocent and puzzled, "Father-in-law Jia, what are you talking about, I can't understand a word in this palace." ”

The hands in Jia Yuchun's sleeves were clenched into fists, and his nails dug deep into his palms.

"Mother, you know." Jia Yuchun's voice was a little determined, he held the iron bar of the prison tightly, and looked at Lin Jieyu's gaze, "The slave doesn't know which master you are doing things for...... But that man really doesn't deserve to risk your life for him.

Lin Jieyu's gaze changed in an instant, first panicked for a moment, then slowly calmed down, and finally lowered her head, and her eyes, which were always full of tenderness and sweetness, rarely burst out a few sparks.

"That's all where you heard it." Lin Jieyu's words seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, but she still smiled with a bit of arrogance, "Who sent you?" Chaise? Or Ning Concubine? What good did they give you, to make you spew blood like this, to put me to death? ”

Jia Yuchun looked at her, looked at her and looked at her, and there was a little sadness on her thin face.

He lowered his head and lifted it again, only to feel his whole heart burn and hurt.

"Niangniang, don't you understand," Jia Yuchun said in a low voice, "You are already an outcast." ”
