"Let Your Highness smile." Xie Yan forced a smile and didn't say much.

King Chu was a little unaccustomed to his appearance, and when he saw the eldest princess next to him looking worried, he couldn't help but say: "Cousin Xie, you can't do this, the eldest man can bend and stretch, how can he collapse because of a little injury?" Isn't that like you're used to? Besides, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, if you are so depressed, wouldn't it make your relatives hurt your enemies quickly, you have to learn from Ling'an, who dares to provoke her in Beijing? ”

When the county lord of Ling'an heard this, his expression was not annoyed, his eyebrows were coldly raised, and he said angrily: "Yes! Big brother, you get better quickly, I won't let go of any of those who hurt you, and when I catch them, I will definitely break their legs and bring them to the big brother in person, and when the time comes, I will fight or kill, all by the words of the big brother. ”

Seeing that Xie Yan didn't speak, the Lord of Ling'an took a step forward, sat on the edge of his bed, stretched out his hand, and wanted to pull his sleeve as before.

Before his hand touched, he saw Xie Yan's arm shrink back suddenly, and it seemed to hit the bedpost behind him at such a fast speed.

The county lord of Ling'an's expression froze, and a sad look suddenly appeared on his face.

Xie Yan is a few years older than her, in addition to the eldest princess, the longest companion to her is Xie Yan's brother, these days she goes out every day to find trouble, in addition to fighting for her father, angry that those people are full and have nothing to do, chewing the root of the tongue like a long-tongued woman, in fact, it is more because of the humiliation of her brother.

A flawless person like her brother, how, how......

But no one can say anything about this!

As soon as she thought that her brother was humiliated by those old prostitutes and would not be humane in the future, the county lord of Ling'an hated to kill.

The anger in her heart is getting higher and higher day by day, and her heart is like an active volcano, and if she doesn't vent it, I'm afraid that she will be suffocated to death by the anger in her heart.

Xie Yan covered the misery in his eyes, chuckled casually at the few people in front of him, and deliberately changed the topic: "Let you worry, there was a lot of noise outside just now, what's going on." ”

"It's just a cheap slave, brother doesn't have to take it to heart, I've already asked people to take him away."

When the master heard a cheap slave in the mouth of the lord of Ling'an, his expression was suffocated, his eyes were fluttering, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

……

Zhu Nianjun was imprisoned in a room closed on all sides, with only a narrow window in the front, which was dim and cold, with only a small light shining through the window in front of him.

The few attendants who dragged him in lit the candles on the wall, and with the bright candles around, Zhu Nianjun looked at the furnishings in the room.

At this glance, he felt that his whole body was cold, and in the biting cold, he could also ooze a cold sweat.

As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of unnamed torture instruments, which seem to be faintly stained with dried black-brown blood, which is not too much compared to the prison of the punishment house......

Thinking about what the county lord of Ling'an had said, gouging out his eyes, pulling out his tongue, and looking at the torture instruments in the surrounding room, Zhu Nianjun's scalp was numb, and the hairs on his body were about to explode, if it weren't for his hands tied and his mouth gagged, I was afraid that he would have screamed and wanted to escape.

Several attendants stood in the doorway, their eyes wandering over the torture instruments behind him, as if they were thinking about whether it would be better to gouge out their eyes and pull out their tongues with those torture instruments.

Whining...... Whining......

Setting up a private prison is against the criminal law! You are breaking the law.

Zhu Nianjun's eyes were about to pop out, and his mouth was whining, but no one paid attention to him.

"Do you want to be executed?"

"Gouging out your eyes, pulling out your tongue?"

"Didn't the county lord just confess that he had to pull out his tongue first?" Several people whispered and discussed.

Zhu Nianjun's face was pale and bloodless.

"Wait a minute, did the colt explain just now, don't let anyone get close, and ......" Several attendants glanced at each other, and they all saw the same meaning from each other's eyes, what the colt said just now, they could all hear it with their own ears, especially the words that the colt explained before leaving, it was obvious that it meant something......

This man seems to know each other?

Between the orders of the county lord of Ling'an and the concubine, it is naturally clear which is more important, and several attendants glanced at Zhu Nianjun, who was sitting on the ground and trying to stand up, and withdrew from the door without saying a word, locking him in alone.

The tongue is easy to pull out, the eyes are easy to dig out, pull it out, dig it out, and then try to go back, but it will be difficult.

Seeing a few people at the door going out, Zhu Nianjun sat back on the ground with a plop, and breathed a sigh of relief, and it took a long time for his face to regain his blood, is this considered an escape?

After sitting for a while and regaining his strength, Zhu Nianjun looked around and found a sharper torture instrument, moved it to him with great effort, and slowly broke the rope tied to his wrist little by little.

After freeing his hands and throwing away the soft cloth stuffed in his mouth, Zhu Nianjun suddenly noticed that the jade pendant on his chest had fallen outside his clothes at some point.

On the red rope buckle, it is simple and warm, and the jade pendant with good material is particularly conspicuous.

Zhu Nianjun stared at it, and many thoughts flashed in his mind in an instant, and all his thoughts finally turned into only one thought, that is, did he see it just now......

When this jade pendant was exposed, he had no clue at all.

He untied the jade pendant and held it in the palm of his hand, the warm jade pendant, with the temperature of his heart, once after his mother's death, this jade pendant was his only sustenance and belief.

"If you encounter difficulties in the future, or life and death, remember to take this jade pendant to the princess's mansion to find the horse master." These are the words that his mother swore to him before she died.

Why do you need to find a colt?

Why was his mother so sure that the horse master would help him before she died?

What is the relationship between them?

"Zhu Nianjun, do you know that your mother is reading that gentleman again?"

Could it be true that it was like in the play "Zhang Sheng's Quest for Relatives"?

Thinking of Zhang Sheng's death in the play, thinking of Li Sheng's death outside the play, Zhu Nianjun's mind was blank, and the jade pendant in his hand that had brought him infinite warmth and hope was like a sickle that hooked the soul at this moment, as if it would kill him at any time.

Who should he believe?

Did the colt see his jade pendant just now?

Will he still be able to get out of this princess's mansion alive?

Could he really be a bastard abandoned by a colt?

The questions that popped up in his brain made him have a headache, Zhu Nianjun shrank on the ground, holding his head with both hands, and the jade pendant he was holding in his hand made his palms hurt.

I don't know how long it took, an hour, or two hours, when he came to his senses in a daze, suddenly he heard a creak in his ears, and the door opened from the outside, and a blinding light shone in.

Zhu Nianjun raised his head, and someone stood at the door with a backlight, and his face was blurry.

The person who came took two steps forward, and from a distance of just a few steps, Zhu Nianjun could clearly see the identity of the person who came.

The person he had thought about and wanted to see with all his heart.

The eldest princess's mansion, Xie Bi'an!

Zhu Nianjun squatted there, looking at him stupidly, holding the jade pendant in his hand, and a red line was revealed between his fingers.

Xie Bi'an turned his head, and the person who showed surprise closed the door.
