128 in prison
She doesn't want to, the person she doesn't want to ask for the most in her life is her father.
However, she is afraid, killing the king, she is going to be Ling Chi, she is so afraid of a person who dies, Beigong Yu put such a charge on her like this.
She thought, if this thing is not good, it will punish the nine clans, and her father doesn't want to die, not to mention, no matter how much he hates her, no matter how much he doesn't treat her, but she is still his biological daughter! He wouldn't stand by and watch her like this, even if he could beg for her in front of Beigong Yu.
She wanted to go over and grab her father's hand and ask him to help her beg for mercy, isn't there still Yingxi, Beigong Yu likes Yingxi so much, Beigong Yu will definitely listen to what Yingxi says, no matter who they are, she wants to tell his father like this, but the guards pulled her, and she couldn't break free.
"Dad is not me, dad, can you help me plead with His Highness, dad, dad"
While they pulled her out, she called him over and over again with a crying voice, but Xia Fu just stood behind Beigong Yu and kept silent, until Xia Xiaoxiao passed by him, she heard Xia Fu's tone full of disgust and hatred, and let out a mouthful of spit.
"Evil obstacles."
Xia Fu has always scolded her like this.
Evil creature.
Xia Xiaoxiao's last voice was drowned in her throat, and the sound of "Dad" may never be called again in this life.
In the end, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't even have the strength to struggle, she was dragged out by the guards, she couldn't help but turn back, Beigong Yu led the imperial doctors to investigate Beigong Chengyan's condition, and didn't look at her from beginning to end.
A dimly lit dungeon, with a damp wind blowing up from underground, carrying a foul stench and musty smell of fuss.
Wailing, screaming, whipping, noisy, shouting of grievances, the same, came from all directions, and the noise made Xia Xiaoxiao have a splitting headache.
Xia Xiaoxiao came to this kind of place for the first time in her life, and then she learned that the heavenly prison was also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the felons were at the bottom, Beigong Yu deliberately separated her from Yun Xi's cell, and Yun Xi's was in the innermost room at the bottom.
Xia Xiaoxiao was taken to the innermost cell on the penultimate floor, a little far from the outside, at least without hearing the goosebump-giving noises.
When she passed by, she could see those torture rooms, red-hot irons, meat tongs, liga, iron saws, clamps, and unwashable red blood stains on the ground, and the thick smell of blood wafted over with the cold air, Xia Xiaoxiao shivered, and when she thought of being tortured, her stomach churned, and she almost vomited.
The guards escorted her in, the door was chained and locked, and the sound of keys clashing in the hallway faded away. There is only one cell here, leaning on the side, there is a window blocked by a high iron bar, and the light shines in from there, and the shadows of the iron bars are cast on the cold ground one by one, Xia Xiaoxiao began to fidget.
She was shackled with iron chains on her feet, she was so heavy that she felt it was difficult to walk even two steps, so she simply lay down on the grass bed and tossed and turned, thinking about what Beigong Yu was planning to do to her.
When the order was given, he said that the specific punishment would be discussed after the emperor woke up, that is, as long as the emperor did not wake up for a day, she could at least be regarded as free of life, but even so, she had to stay here all the time.
No, she has to think of a way to prove her innocence, at this time, she has to clean up her relationship with the old fox, she can't just give the old fox a cushion for nothing.
However, she is not innocent, only the old fox and Beigong Yu know that the old fox can't help her, not to mention Beigong Yu, if that guy still has a little conscience, he can bring someone in when she takes the medicine handed over by Gui Mama in her hand, why wait for her to put the medicine to the emperor's mouth before bringing someone in?
Xia Xiaoxiao thought about it, but she really couldn't think of any way, lying on the grass bed biting her fingernails, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and sat up violently.
"Stop!"
yes, why did she almost forget about it?
Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly ran to the door of the prison and called the guard guarding the door, the guard drank two taels of wine in about the daytime, and walked a little swaying, and yelled at her angrily as soon as she came, "What are you yelling about!" Just come in and start making a fuss! ”
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't bother to bother with him, and said in a good voice, "Big brother, can you help me bring a message to the king?" ”
The guard burped twice in a row, and a smell of wine hit Xia Xiaoxiao's nose, she pinched her nose uncomfortably, and the guard sneered, "Liwang? Which one is the king? Whether you are looking for the Pear King or the Chicken King and the Duck King, as long as you have silver, the uncle can help you find it, if it is the king who lives in the palace, you had better not think about it, a person who wants to kill the king still thinks that he is the crown princess? ”
The man snorted twice, staggered back again, Xia Xiaoxiao shouted twice, this time, no one really paid attention to her.
When night came to this cell, it was pitch black, and only a faint moonlight could shine in through the window, but it was not faint enough for Xia Xiaoxiao to see the light on her fingers.
It was already winter, and she was still too cold in the Dusk Pavilion, and when she got here, even the wind could blow in through the window.
She sat quietly in the grass bed at this time, not daring to move, it was okay to come in during the day, there was still a little light, she could barely survive the cold, but at night, the cold air around her was more and more penetrating skin and bones, and in the cell, there were always a lot of unjust souls wandering, when she thought of this, she suddenly felt a chill behind her, Xia Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and hurriedly recited those nonsense spells in her heart.
After a long time, Xia Xiaoxiao looked out of the window, she didn't know what day it was outside, she only knew that it was about the time when she was sleeping, she stared blankly at the half moon that could be seen outside, thinking, what is Luo Zhi doing now? Did you know that she was arrested and locked up by Beigong Yu? Or did he know about it and thought she was going to harm his father?
Xia Xiaoxiao has never been so lonely and scared since the death of her mother, in such a late night, she can't even see the candlelight, and there will occasionally be two "squeaky" mice passing by her feet, fortunately, she Xia Xiaoxiao is afraid of a lot of things, and there are a lot of insects that she is afraid of, the only thing she is not afraid of is the mouse, otherwise, she is afraid that the days in prison will be more sad.
Xia Xiaoxiao has never wanted to go back to the Dusk Pavilion so much, although that place can be regarded as a cage, but it is a bed that she sleeps on, and there is a quilt cover in such a cold night, Xia Xiaoxiao thought about this, her thoughts gradually blurred, and she smelled the fragrance of the clouds again.
The same silent and dark night, with no clouds in the sky, as if there was nothing around, only that it was night, only that it was dark.
A woman patted her head, "This is just the beginning"
An old man sighed lightly, "Who owes whom, who should pay whom, Ze Iridium, but obsession"
A child took her hand, "Sister, wait for me"
The noise in my ears alternated, sometimes I heard the laughter of those people, sometimes they cried.
It's so uncomfortable and breathless.
With a cold sweat on her head, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes, and what greeted her was pitch black, no, it should be that she could roughly see the outline of a person's face in the pitch dark, and then in this outline, she could clearly see a pair of pupils glowing in the dark, at this time, these dark eyes were staring straight at her eyes less than a finger away from Xia Xiaoxiao.
Can you imagine? In such a dark prison, so close to Xia Xiaoxiao's face, in addition to being able to see the outline and the pair of cold hair straight ink pupils, she couldn't even see the facial features clearly, Xia Xiaoxiao woke up for the first time in such a gloomy night, and was stunned by those eyes.
I still had some impressions of the dream before, but I was so frightened that I suddenly forgot about it.
The second time I woke up gradually, there was still consciousness in my mind, and I kept reminding her not to open her eyes, even if she woke up, don't open her eyes, maybe just now I just imagined too much in my head, and suddenly remembered the ghost books I had read, and as a result, I thought in my head as what I saw in my eyes.
However, what I just saw really didn't look like the eyes of the person I imagined, it was too terrifying!
No, maybe it's not a human at all!
"Although it's not a person, there are people who regard the owner of the building as an immortal, and there are those who regard the owner of the building as a demon, and the owner of the building knows for the first time that someone can see the owner of the building as a ghost."
Suddenly, there was a faint sneer, swaying like a gust of wind, caressing the tips of Xia Xiaoxiao's ears.
Xia Xiaoxiao trembled violently, closed her eyes tightly, shook her hands, pulled her long sleeves, and slowly covered her face with the sleeves, not daring to expose her head to the air, but she was already wailing in her heart, it was the middle of the night, this is a prison cell! There wasn't even a lighted candle, and who could come in here except for ghosts?
Murong raised his eyebrows, and his fingertips gently flicked on her long sleeves, like a gust of wind, naturally lifting the sleeves on Xia Xiaoxiao's face, and said indifferently and disgustedly, "It looks like this." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao was taken aback, her hands immediately covered her face, and she couldn't help trembling when she spoke, "Yes, yes, that's what you look like, you, don't come to hook, my soul"
Beigong Yu, that stinky fox has to arrange this ghost place for her to have a ghost! Now she didn't die on the knife target, but was killed by a ghost!
"Don't you think that everyone is a Beigong pheasant, and it is not uncommon for your life to be sent to the owner of this building."
Murong Tianlian straightened up, glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, who was so scared that he didn't even dare to show his face, and took two steps to the corner of the wall, wanting to sit down, when he saw a few rats gathered there, he twisted his eyebrows in disgust.
"Who are you talking about?"
When Xia Xiaoxiao heard this, he immediately sat up from the grass bed, and then he saw the figure of the man in the corner of the wall, and looked at the ground, obviously a black shadow behind the person was cast on the ground along the moonlight, with a clear outline, Xia Xiaoxiao breathed a heavy sigh of relief, it turned out that it was not a ghost.
He walked over from the corner of the wall and pulled Xia Xiaoxiao's long sleeve, Xia Xiaoxiao just wanted to dodge, and the long sleeve was torn in half with a "hiss"!
The light under the moonlight was only a little bit cast by the window, Xia Xiaoxiao listened to the voice, looked at the shadow, and probably knew that it was a man, but how could a man be so exquisite?
He pulled Xia Xiaoxiao's sleeve, just to give him a place to sit on!
"Who did you just say?"
Xia Xiaoxiao saw him sit down unhurriedly, and looked at the cell door, although he couldn't see it very clearly, the iron chains and iron locks were obviously still intact on the cell door.
They have been talking here for a long time, and they haven't seen the cell boss coming, maybe everyone outside has been knocked out by this person, but the door lock is fine, and the iron bar on the window is also fine, so how did this man get in?
Xia Xiaoxiao moved to the side vigilantly, deliberately pulling away some distance.
"Wait a few days, and the man will come and take you away."
His voice was not loud Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned for two moments at first, and then, little by little, ripples rippled in Xia Xiaoxiao's heart, and slowly, this sudden news brought joy and rose to Xia Xiaoxiao's face, and her cheeks flushed.
The mother said that when she was extremely happy, her face would flush with a noticeable flush.
"Stopped? Luozhi sent you? What about him? Where is he now? ”
She should be extremely happy now, with a hint of excitement in her tone, but, but for a moment, the silence disappeared again, and she said to take her away, but now that she is in the cell, is there a way for him to let Beigong Yu let her out?
"You're not her, so it's useless to take it out."
The man glanced at her faintly, and lay down on the grass bed behind him, with one foot on the other, his hands under his head, his sleeve robe was long, and it was crumpled on Xia Xiaoxiao's side.
"She? Who? ”
Xia Xiaoxiao asked subconsciously.
"You came in, I don't know if it's because of Yun Cheng or because of you, Beigong Yu ordered to tighten the guards, except for Beigong Yu himself, no one is allowed to approach the bottom two floors, and let the owner of the building come over to talk, but he paid the price."
His feet swayed leisurely up and down, he turned his head, his voice was soft and slow, but with a bit of charm, "What about you?" Can you afford it? ”
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at his dark eyes in the dark, and suddenly remembered the pair of eyes he saw when he woke up, and couldn't help but shudder again, shaking his head again and again, "I'm very poor, I have no money, how much did Luozhi give you?" ”
She didn't care who she was, she didn't care if it was useful for them to be taken out, she only cared if she could live.
"Vulgar."
He got up, patted the withered grass on his sleeve, and said lightly.
Xia Xiaoxiao wrinkled her eyebrows and stared at him, why was she vulgar?
"If you take me out of prison now, I'll give you as much as you want!"
Stay here, in case Beigong Yu really implements her crimes, she will have only one way to die! She didn't want to stay in this place full of blood, and she didn't want to go to Hades so early, her bright future was still waiting for her, and Luo Zhi said that he would take her away.
This man has said that this place is heavily guarded, but he can enter the land of no one like this, there must be a way!
"How much do you think your life is worth?"
He walked under the window and turned his head with interest, the hazy moonlight crossed the side of his face, and the inky black hair reflected the light, hanging on his chest like silver threads, but Xia Xiaoxiao still couldn't see his face clearly.
Xia Xiaoxiao pondered the words this person asked, was he planning to slander her or her?
"Actually, it's not very valuable"
She said a conservative word, if he really opened his mouth, he really didn't have much money to pay him, if his savings were still there, it would be okay to say, but those were all taken away by Beigong Yu.
Beigong Yu is really cutting off her way before and after!
"It's worthless, what did the owner of this building do to save your life?"
"No, no, no, it's worth it, it's worth it, you always make a price!"
Xia Xiaoxiao got up and ran up, and hurriedly pulled up his sleeve, for fear that he would run away, his gaze fell, and he took a step back in disgust, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't see it clearly, but just dodged her outstretched hand, and heard him sneer with sarcasm, "The price that you can't even pay, what are you?" ”
The cell is not big, it is only seven or eight steps from the left to the right, and the cell door is not far from the man, Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to walk over, but the things in front of him suddenly became blurred, and he couldn't take a step.
"Yun Xiao was caught, she couldn't get that thing, and naturally she wouldn't leave it to Beigong Yu," the person turned his back to her, and his voice seemed to come from the sky, facing the faint moonlight, Xia Xiaoxiao tried to open his eyes that gradually drooped down, and then he saw clearly that this person was vaguely wearing a green robe, "She won't let you live, but hand over the things, and the lord of this building will be merciful and spare your life." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao shook his head vigorously, but his body gradually lost his strength, the green was obviously in front of him, in a trance, and it seemed that there was nothing left, only the empty prison door fence.
Bang!
His head seemed to hit something, and Xia Xiaoxiao fainted.
Dividing line
The dark night seemed to respond to the scene at this time, there were no stars, and there were a few thick clouds in the sky, blocking the moonlight.
The fire in the brazier on the side was "crackling" and burning, and the iron scorched quietly lying in it, almost transparent.
"Since this palace has given you a chance, you should have stopped a long time ago."
At this time, the people who were supposed to be keeping vigil were all sent back by Beigong Yu, Beigong Yu paced lightly, walked to the brazier, picked up the iron in the basin and gently stirred the red-hot carbon inside, and said slowly.
"When did you find out?"
On the iron frame, Yun Ji's hands were tightly buckled on both sides by iron chains, she hung her head, her former soft and inky black hair was scattered to the side of her face in a mess at this time, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, and there were countless whip marks on her white prison uniform, and crimson blood penetrated it from the inside.
There were sparks splashing in the brazier, reflecting Beigong Yu's fair face a little red, and there were sparks in the basin jumping in his eyes.
"Ten years ago."
On the side of the brazier was the cold water, and he moved the iron to the water, and the sound of "snorting" came from the water, and the fierce mist floated up, covering Beigong Yu's face, and he said slowly, "If it weren't for Beigong Pheasant Li coming back suddenly, this palace would not have started to investigate, if you want to blame, you will blame the man who made a deal with you." ”
"So you always knew!"
The window of this torture room is much larger than Xia Xiaoxiao's cell, the heavy clouds disperse, Yun Ji slowly raised her head, the moonlight fell, and she still had that amazing face, but the age of her forties still couldn't stop leaving traces of time on her face.
She stared at Beigong Yu's back fiercely, she knew from the beginning that Beigong Yu Beigong Yu was investigating her, and she also knew that Beigong Yu might know her identity, but he had never been able to do anything to her, so she couldn't delay it any longer, Beigong Chengyan was seriously ill, and Nanming Kingdom attacked, this was the only time that God favored her for so many years, such a good opportunity, she couldn't let it go!
"This palace naturally knows, you don't have to worry, your precious Beigong Ji is now being arrested and returned to the palace by the people sent by this palace, and it is estimated that he will come to this prison to meet you in less than two days."
Beigong Yu took the cooled iron soldering in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully, and flicked his fingertips on it, making a crisp sound.
"Hmph, don't want to use his life to blackmail Bengong for anything, Bengong once supported him like that, but I didn't expect that in the end it was still a straw bag, this kind of person, it's useless to keep it."
Yun Ji sneered, Beigong Chengyan is not dead, since Beigong Ji can't sit on that throne, then Beigong Ji's life is worthless.
Beigong Yu's back looked a little fearless in the firelight, and in a few minutes, with some of Beigong Chengyan's shadows, Yun Cheng looked a little distracted.
As soon as Beigong Yu left this imperial city, her subordinates had already set up an ambush on the way, just waiting to take his life, but she didn't expect that all this was just Beigong Yu's plan, and her people were annihilated by Beigong Langyan and people at the beginning, including in front of all the courtiers, even Nanmingguo's declaration was just planned by Beigong Yu a long time ago! From the very beginning, Nanming Kingdom has never sent any letters at all, and from the very beginning, Beigong Yu has never left the imperial city at all!
Thinking about it now, including from the beginning of the weakening of Beigong Yu's military power, Beigong Yu's plan began.
She underestimated him too much.
Beigong Yu threw his hand at will, and threw the cooled iron back into the brazier, and the tongue of fire surged up, Beigong Yu turned around and walked slowly towards her with his hand.
"There is no need for the queen mother to remind him, and the palace naturally has no intention of keeping him."
Beigong Yu looked at her with a chuckle, but that smile was reflected in Yun Hui's eyes, which made Yun Cheng feel a little creepy, and suddenly, the smile on Beigong Yu's face disappeared suddenly, and was replaced by a faint indifference, staring at Yun Hui's eyes sharpened, "Tell me the location of the totem, this palace will make you die happily." ”
A flash of shock flashed in Yun Ji's eyes, and then she sank again, and she laughed lowly, "Why don't you ask, is the totem in my hand?" After all, that's something that makes Beigong Pheasant willing to trade with me. ”
It's true, he Beigong Yu really investigated her thoroughly!
"I have been assassinated several times before and after, didn't I send someone to assassinate you because I was afraid that you would say something? Twenty years, you have so many opportunities to kill him, if the thing is really in your hands, why have you waited for so many years? ”
Beigong Yu took in her expression, raised her eyebrows, and said with a bit of disdain and sarcasm.
