Chapter 40 Hospice care
Execution Division Prison.
Although Xue He's appearance has changed a little, few people have seen it, but the velvet red cloak she wears is embroidered with a gold-threaded red lotus pattern, which is the totem of the god of war, and there is nothing that the officials of the Heavenly Court do not know.
Although the warden did not dare to stop her, he could not ignore her. The petty officer in the crow-blue official uniform followed her ass all the way, and kept saying: "This is the forbidden place of the execution of the Heavenly Prison, even if you are Her Royal Highness the Princess, you are not allowed to trespass!" ”
"Where did you keep Qin Bai?"
Xue He ignored his obstruction and looked up at the key and name on the stone wall.
The warden took the key from the wall with a bitter face and offered it with both hands, but Xuehe didn't answer it, just said coldly:
"Lead the way."
The petty official had no choice but to lead her into the corridor leading to a certain cell, and whispered: "Your Highness, trespassing on the forbidden land of heaven is a serious crime......
Xue He disagreed: "Don't talk nonsense with me!" The twelve volumes of the heavenly strip, labor and management will memorize it at the age of three! According to the rules of your execution department, even death row inmates who have been sentenced to beheading are allowed to visit! What's more, he has only passed the court once, and he has not been sentenced yet, at most he is a suspect, why don't you allow me to see him? ”
I don't know if the god of war Chongli has long predicted that the old man in the family will not be a fuel-efficient lamp in the future, when other children are enlightened to memorize ancient poems and three-character scriptures and thousand-character texts, the daughter of the God of War family is reciting the heavenly strips!
She memorized all the obscure laws, laws, and rules and regulations by heart, and several of her brothers were all on errands in Jinjiawei, so she has been clear about this little thing in the public gate since she was a child.
No matter how much she messes around, she always keeps her sense of proportion and does not cross the bottom line - this is probably the most headache.
"Yes yes yes ......"
Seeing that it was really difficult to be fooled, the warden had to change his method and persuade: "The lower official just wants to remind you that the prison of our Execution Division is different from other places, if there is no token seal, then the cell is only allowed to enter and not leave, and no one is exempt. ”
Xue He blinked, looked at the cautious heavenly official, and asked, "So, you think I'm here to save people, right?" ”
Isn't it?!
Xue He sneered: "You think too much!" If I want to catch people, there are many ways, and there is no need to take the step of robbing prison and fighting prison! It won't embarrass you, don't worry. ”
The warden is also an old fritter, although he heard her say this, but he didn't dare to believe a word:
"I hope so."
Even if she suspects that she has some intentions, as long as she hasn't done it yet, she can't take measures first.
The warden secretly pondered for a long time: There are a total of 100 jailers in the prison, and if you really want to make a move, it should not be a problem to deal with this little girl; It's just that she wears the cloak of the god of war, and it's a serious figure that even the Emperor doesn't dare to provoke - it's better not to develop to the point of wanting to do it.
As the last heavy iron gate opened, only a half-section of the plank road a few zhang wide remained, and the bottomless abyss was below.
Xue He looked down with some curiosity, and saw that this legendary death row was originally a huge patio with a diameter of more than 100 zhang, and he couldn't see the sun when he looked up and the bottom when he looked down; The masonry walls were bare, with only a few sky lanterns half-suspended in the air emitting a faint light.
At this time, I saw that the little official inserted the key in his hand into the lock hole of the wall, and a roar came from the bottom of the prison, and after a while, I saw a black rectangular black iron cage slowly rising up, without any iron cable or anything like that, and it rose to the end of the wooden plank road and stopped.
Qin Bai, who was dressed in prison clothes inside, probably saw this battle for the first time, and curled up in the corner of the iron cage in fear.
"I'm here, and I don't plan to go out."
Xue He turned his head, looked at the warden with a guarded face, and said indifferently: "You can go,...... Remember to lock the door. ”
The warden was stunned and asked, "Why don't I come and pick you up in an hour?" ”
"No, I don't. I said I'm not going anywhere. ”
The petty official hesitated for a long time, neither to leave nor to stay-anyway, one more person is better than one less, so that he will not be unable to pay the difference.
Xue He smiled, left him and walked straight to the iron cage. The iron cage does not have a door, but is a complete and sealed rectangular cage. The iron fence was blessed with mana, and when her hand approached, the black black iron immediately lit up with a blue-blue glow.
But she turned a blind eye to it, stretched out her hand, and gently lifted it like a beaded curtain, and the hard and cold iron pillar instantly bent back softly, until she stepped into the cage, and the iron cage immediately returned to its original state.
Not only Qin Bai, but even the warden was dumbfounded.
But after a brief shock, the warden finally understood one thing: the mana in the prison had no effect on her at all, and she seemed to have no intention of leaving, as she had just said.
No matter what she thinks, in short, as long as the prisoner remains in the prison, the world will be peaceful.
Thinking of this, the warden withdrew the key from the keyhole and withdrew from the iron door from which he had come, and then the door slammed shut, and there was a series of locks.
The moment the silence was restored, the sky lanterns that had been floating in the air were extinguished at the same time, and the entire sky dungeon was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, as if even the air had been drained away.
"Really meow the door, not even a lamp."
Xue He took a sip, stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, only to see a warm white light slowly rising from between her fingers, illuminating that beautiful face again.
She crouched down, her arms folded and her knees looking at him. The snow-white silver threads scattered behind him at will, and the red lining of the cloak was particularly distinct. A pair of silver eyes are clear, like floating waves on the ice; The facial features are dignified and exquisite, and there is less enchantment between the eyebrows, but it adds wisdom, and it shows the national color and fragrance.
"Snow River?"
Although her appearance has changed slightly, she can still be recognized at a glance as the girl she had seen in the lobby of the Execution Division before. She looks like this now, her eyebrows and eyes are really a little similar to Jun Qi, and Jun Qi also said before that it is the Snow River himself.
He was on death row in the dark, and he didn't know what had happened outside, let alone how she had changed her appearance this time.
You heavenly immortals really know how to play.
"Now it's just you and me, you can always tell the truth, right?"
Her current temperament is completely different from when she was in the mortal world, a pair of silver eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and they are exactly the same as the horses in the lobby before, Qin Bai couldn't help but shiver the moment she met her eyes, and instinctively hesitated:
“…… Yes? ”
Xuehe is not as patient as Jun Qi, seeing that he is still not honest, he stretched out his hand to twist his face as before, pulled Lao Gao directly, and gritted his teeth and said hatefully:
"You really want to die?"
Although the woman in front of her was completely unfamiliar from her appearance, voice, and eyes, this trick, this strength, and the pain were extremely familiar:
"It hurts! …… Are you really a snowy river? ”
"Or else? You wouldn't really think anyone would be interested in meeting a stupid death row inmate who has cornered themselves? Can the court really show mercy to you hospice care? Bah! ”
This sharp mouth is definitely Snow River, that's right.
"I thought you really didn't want to see me again."
didn't care about the pain, let alone the shame, Qin Bai actually had an expression that was torn and distorted by her hand, grinning very spinelessly, crying bitterly.
Even if he has a big temper, in the face of such a tearful face, Xue He really has no temper.
sighed silently in my heart: Why did I fall in love with such a strange thing?
In the end, he was still soft-hearted, and Xuehe finally let go and took this unpromising guy into his arms. His whole body tensed and trembled slightly, holding her as if he were grasping at a life-saving straw.
- A lifesaver, this metaphor is not an exaggeration at all.
"Hey, it's almost there. Get down to business. ”
Xue He's tone was cold, but he couldn't help but pat him on the back comfortingly at the same time.
He paused slightly, turned his face away, and wiped the snot and tears from his face with his cuffs.
Xue He sighed, stretched out his hand, and gently straightened out his scattered hair. It seems that it is similar to what he expected, after experiencing this regular interrogation in the hall of the execution department, this little river god who has never seen the world is afraid that he is scared to death a few times.
Until this point, his true soul can be considered to be retired, right?
"Madam, you look better."
Xue He laughed angrily - what else can I say? I don't forget to pat myself on the back when I'm so virtuous, can I really continue to slap you with a big mouth?
Seeing her smile, Qin Bai had the courage to ask, "Are you really the princess of heaven?" ”
"Don't be poor with me, and be honest about your own problems!"
"Hmm. If all the heavenly officials in the hall ask about the case like Madame, I don't have to bother at all, and I will definitely do it all. ”
Xue He raised his slap and glared at him.
"Okay, I say."
Qin Bai immediately became obedient: "In the palace before, I was only busy dealing with government and military affairs every day in the palace, how could I have time to think of anything else?" Even in the house that I had set up outside the city, I always moved my official business over first, and I didn't dare to delay it for a moment...... In the first three months of marriage, you can see what I was busy with. ”
That's true.
That day, he carried her into the house in front of everyone, but as soon as he got into bed, he fell asleep. He didn't have to be idle until he woke up, so he went to read the official document - so much so that Xue He felt that his beautiful and unparalleled skin had been seriously insulted, and he had to do something to save his dignity!
"Don't talk nonsense! What the hell is that confession of yours?! ”
Obviously, he has some talent in coaxing women to be happy, and Xue He's anger has disappeared most of this time, and he deliberately asked with a straight face: "Is your brain broken?" What the hell do you think about being able to write a confession like that?! ”
"Alas, anyway, I'm alone and have nothing to do with it, if you are angry and don't want to see me again, it's no wonder that I'm living like this."
Qin Bai sighed, and there was a hint of desolation in his tone.
Xue He glanced at him, but his heart was very useful:
"Don't do it."
