The night in the cell was really difficult, there was only a torn quilt on the straw mat, and the cold rain came at night, and the cold air only drilled into the bones along the skin. Due to the pampering in the palace these days, my body has become so delicate that I can't stand such an environment at all. I slept for only two hours, and then I couldn't sleep again, so I simply sat up, leaned against the cold wall, and hugged the quilt and thought about it.

The things that happened these days are so unexpected that I am caught off guard, and I have to sort things out from the beginning to know where the omissions are.

Ten years ago, the fourth prince set fire to the Snowy Sacred Palace and killed my whole family, at that time I didn't know why he did this, I kept telling myself to avenge my father and mother, to let the evildoer accept the punishment he deserved, so I gradually forgot to ask why. However, on the day of the assassination, the situation was urgent, and I seized the only opportunity to slash the enemy, but I never had the opportunity to ask for a reason, and the motives of the fourth prince were buried in the ground with his death.

However, is the reason really not serious? I don't think so, after I got to know the three princes, after I entered the palace, I gradually realized a problem, sometimes royal people do things, never for personal grudges. They are either greedy* and selfish, these moths have their own faction, or they are sages who help each other to defend their families and defend their country, and support each other's own families. But from the personal perspective of the fourth prince, what kind of grudge does my mother, his sister, have against him and need him to be so ruthless? Moreover, destroying the entire Snowy Sacred Palace would not be beneficial to him at all, and it was not very valid for him to kill people from the perspective of personal grudges. So, could it be that he had another purpose? So what is his purpose?

The four princes are full of henchmen and have a lot of minions, if they want to kill me because they know that I am the murderer of the four princes, this is normal. But if they knew that I was Qingyi, the remnant of the Northern Desert who survived at the hands of the Four Princes, then there would be even more people who wanted to get rid of me than now, and their desire to get rid of me would be even more urgent than now, and in this dungeon, my hope of living would be even slimmer. I finally figured out why Ye Linghan said that my identity should not be made public, and the fewer people who know, the better, because in the palace, you don't know what faction the person in front of you is, whether it is an enemy or an enemy with you.

Yes, and I haven't seen Ye Linghan yet, I haven't returned the general's order to him, and I haven't told him that I don't want to leave him at all......

"It's time for breakfast!" A jailer came over with a basket and shouted to me, who was huddled in the corner, and placed two porcelain bowls in the cell through the wooden fence, containing two steamed buns and a bowl of gruel.

"Come and get chopsticks!" The jailer shook the chopsticks in his hand at me, and I couldn't understand why I was asked to get a pair of chopsticks. I got up, only to find that my legs ached and I was almost unsteady.

When I squatted in front of the old door and stretched out my hand, the old jailer refused to say that the chopsticks in his hand were handed to me, he looked at me and smiled sympathetically: "The girl is very lucky, she was actually taken by the Hun Yudan, but you, I'm afraid I won't live for these three days, I'll be a good person to help you secretly pass the song again, girl, don't blame him, it's just the dungeon of this palace, no matter what you try, without the will of the brocade guards, you can't enter if you can't enter, and that's all I can help." ”

After finishing speaking, he grabbed my wrist with one hand, put the chopsticks back into my palm with the other hand, and then clenched it hard: "You young people, you love to say these things that you have and don't have, my old slave doesn't know anything." ”

With that, he turned around and left, leaving in my palm a pair of chopsticks and a note.

My hands trembled, and I slowly opened the note: There is no separation in the rain, and the vast hearts are known to three people. The Hun Yushan that the old slave just said was written by Liyan?

I breathed a sigh of relief, it looks like they're really trying to get me out! My heart was filled with warm sorrow, they never forgot me, they didn't ignore me......

I finally understood what the jailer said just now, the two lines of poetry on this note look like other love words, recalling the date when the two people were in love, but I know that what Liyan wants to say is actually our conversation on the afternoon of the day I was arrested, these things only need the three of us to know, and we can't show flaws and feet to be known by others, that is, remind me that Xiao Yu must not let him know my identity when he is interrogated.

Sure enough, his guess is the same as mine, this matter must not be so simple, if it is all pulled out, I don't know how much trouble it will cause. But it's okay to have a turmoil, I'm afraid that before I see the Son of Heaven to reveal his identity, he has already died and turned into a wisp of unjust soul.

I put the note away, picked up the bowl, and slowly nibbled on the unpalatable steamed bun.

Before I could finish eating, several jailers came over, and the one at the front took a bunch of keys from his waist and opened the chains on the door.

"Stop eating, let's go! Lord Xiao wants to judge you! His voice was silent, as if life and death were nothing to do with him.

I followed him out, and there were two jailers at the end of the tunnel, and as soon as I had gone over, one of them took me by one of my arms and dragged me up and dragged me to the cross. The cold shackles were on my hands and feet, and there were red marks on my wrists.

I looked up, and Xiao Yu was sitting on the chair directly opposite me, like a cold sculpture.

"Miss Sheng, we're going to start discussing the questions we left behind." Xiao Yu walked up to me and looked me straight in the eyes.

"I don't remember any remaining issues with Lord Xiao that haven't been discussed yet, so Lord Xiao doesn't have to bother with me." I twisted my head, not intending to talk to him.

"Ahh

I was defenseless, the guard next to me suddenly exerted force, a whip slammed on me, and a bloody mark was drawn on my upper body, the wound was hot and painful, my teeth were clenched, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead. I had already been mentally prepared for the punishment of this dungeon, but I didn't want to be so cruel that I couldn't resist it at all.

Xiao Yu waved his hand, and the jailers retreated one by one, leaving only Xiao Yu and his two guards.

"The girl doesn't remember, so I'll tell the girl, who are you?" Xiao Yu was straightforward.

"I ...... It was the murderer who killed the four princes. I gritted my teeth and said word by word.

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect me to admit it so refreshingly: "So easy? Then tell me, why did you assassinate the four princes? ”

"Because he has a grudge against me."

"What's the enmity?"

"It's inconvenient to inform."

Syllable! He was immediately whipped again, and his clothes were torn raw, revealing blood-red flesh.

"It's better for the girl to answer the question as readily as she did just now, and if you retort, this thorny bullwhip will be whipped on you once." Xiao Yu said contemptuously.

A mouthful of blood rushed up my throat and slowly flowed from the corner of my mouth. There was a pain in my throat, and I couldn't make any sound for a while.

"Speak." Xiao Yu coldly ordered. I don't answer.

"Let me tell you a story first" Xiao Yu sat back in his chair: "I think you should be curious to know, where did Ye Linghan go during this time?" ”

"He went to accompany Heze to Tanxi to play, a few days ago because of your affairs Ye Linghan made the princess unhappy, specially asked the princess to go out to play and relax, I really envy their pair of fairy couples, Lang has a lover interest, knowing who is the one who can accompany him, knowing how to cherish it, is a wise choice."

What the? Playing with Heze? How can it be? He just handed over his general order to me, and it was when I broke off with him, and he had already shown his heart by doing so, how could it be, how could there be two hearts?

"Amazing, isn't it? He can even give you a general's order, so how can he betray you? Xiao Yu said lightly: "He has been in love with Heze for so many years, even if he has more love with you, how can he be worthy of Princess Heze's affection?" Ye Linghan is a person who values love and righteousness, you must understand that although he gave you the general order, there is a kind of care because of protection, and there is a kind of care that is just because of apology. - The fog dispersed in Chang'an

"Now let's talk about it, what is the story between you and Ye Linghan? And who the hell are you? ”

Apologetic...... These two words irritate my eardrums, is that really the case? I'm here to worry about him and he accompanies his sweetheart to spend the moon before and after, sorry, for me, is he really sorry? No...... My heart tightened, and a mouthful of blood welled up, full of fishy astringentness. It was as if something was choking my throat, and I couldn't make any sound. My lips moved, but I couldn't make any syllables, and the whip of the guard next to me was whipped again, and my body ached, but even the screams turned into low whimpering.

After a while, Xiao Yu noticed that something was wrong with me, walked straight up to me, grabbed my neck roughly, and grabbed my throat with his thumb and forefinger.

"Lost your voice?" Xiao Yu shook off my head and glared at me hatefully: "Hmph! Do you really pick the time, early and late, and suddenly lose your voice at this time? ”

Ejaculated? What the? Am I ...... Am I dumb? How so......

As soon as Xiao Yu raised his hand, the two guards unwrapped the shackles on my body, dragged my arm, and threw me back into the cell, like throwing a piece of waste.

Xiao Yu stood outside the door and looked at me who fell to the ground in embarrassment: "I won't bother with you anymore, there are really too many families who have enmity with the prince." Girl, no matter which family you are from, you have to die. I will never allow such a dangerous person to exist in the world, and you today are the result of cutting down the grass and not eradicating the roots. I tell you that you are dying not because of who you killed, but because of who you are, go clearly, tomorrow noon, beheaded! ”
