In the flickering lights, dozens of iron whips and shackles were hung high on the walls around the hall, and some torture instruments, iron tongs, and bayonets were nailed to the walls, and a pot of hot oil was still bubbling.

In the center of the hall, a woman in blood lay sideways, like a gossamer, like a candle about to be extinguished, dying in the flickering.

A basin of cold water was poured on her body, and she didn't know it, she didn't move, like a dead corpse.

"She's not going to die, is she?" A gorgeously dressed woman, covering her mouth and nose, said disdainfully.

The prison officer held the teacup, served it diligently, and said with a smile: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, she still has a breath of air, but Niangniang can rest assured, she can't hold out for a few days." ”

"Wake her up, this palace has something to say." Lin Yunrou did not take the teacup, but hugged the maid, turned around and walked to the main seat and sat down.

"Yes!" The prison officer agreed, took a pair of iron tongs from the wall, soaked them in an oil pan for a while, and then slammed them against the woman's thigh on the ground.

A strange smell filled the hall in an instant. The blood-clad woman woke up from the burning pain, her cold body curled up in panic.

Lin Yunrou sneered, stood up from the seat, and slowly walked to the woman in blood, "You finally woke up?" Do you like the taste of this dungeon? My Painted Princess? ”

With a pair of trembling hands, Hua Yan brushed away the damp long hair blocking his eyes, and looked blankly at the familiar voice. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, her face gradually returned to an extremely angry look, "You're not dead?!" ......" Hua Yan stared at Lin Yunrou in disbelief with a pair of blood-red eyes, and suddenly, the picture of the tragic death of Hua Shu and Xin Qiao flashed in front of her eyes again, and deep sadness came back to her heart, she struggled hard, trying to get up from the dirty ground, while roaring angrily: "I want to kill you and avenge my sister and Qiao'er!" ......”

Lin Yunrou took a few steps back in panic and hid behind the maid's attendant, it seemed that she had been frightened by the painting.

Seeing the opportunity, the prison officer immediately blocked Lin Yunrou's approach, raised a kick, and kicked down on Huayan's shoulder, stepping on Huayan, who had just been half-supported, under his feet again.

Seeing that there was no trace of threat, Lin Yunrou boldly stepped forward and laughed wildly: "You are all dying, and you dare to speak out?!" With the slightest move, you'll die like an ant, shattered to pieces! ”

Hua Yan endured the severe pain of the bruises all over his body, and looked at Lin Yunrou with resentment, a pair of bloody eyes seemed to be able to tear people apart.

Lin Wanrou was a little flustered by her glare, and she pretended to smile contemptuously, "Aren't you very capable of painting faces?" What does it feel like to be trampled under your feet now? Isn't it comfortable? This is all your deserved retribution! ”

Hua Yan stretched out a pair of bloody hands, trying to break free from the prison officer's grip, and wanted to crawl towards Lin Wanrou, she had not given up the idea of assassinating her. How did she know that she had used all her strength, but she still couldn't escape from the prison officer's feet.

She put down her hand weakly and asked desolately, "Why...... I had nothing to do with you before, so why do you frame me again and again? ......”

This sentence seemed to sting Lin Yunrou's memory, she suddenly squatted down, grabbed Huayan's chin, looked at her and said resentfully: "Have you forgotten what you did?" In Yidu Palace, if it weren't for you, how could I have fallen into the water and almost lost my life?! If it weren't for you, how could the Third Prince suddenly ignore me? How could Xiao Minglang leave me decisively! Every time I fall in love with someone and find someone to rely on, you just take them away! Let me continue to be a dancer who can be admired and laughed at! I hate you, I've been hating you for a long time......"

Huayan looked at her in surprise, "You framed my family because of this?" ”

Lin Wanrou pushed the painting to the ground and said with an angry smile: "Don't always pretend to be self-conscious and know everything!" You caused all this, and you were the one who killed the painter, not me. She smiled mysteriously at the face and continued, "Have you forgotten? The person who recruited me into the Forgotten Dust Building was you. Give me cicada silk wings, and it is you who take the stage with your reputation. The person who pushed me to the third prince, Xiao Minglang is also you! In front of everyone, humiliate me as much as you want. You control everything about me, the freedom and emotions of my life! And now you have killed my unborn child! My enmity with you cannot be liquidated in this life! ”

Hua Yan smiled weakly and wryly: "It turns out that you already know my identity. ”

Lin Wanrou said in surprise as if she had a baby: "This is also thanks to the portrait of Princess Yuzhang, without the veil and the makeup you deliberately painted, except for the different costumes, you are the eighth master of the Forgotten Dust Building!" Others may not be able to see it, but they can't hide it from my eyes! ”

For everything Lin Wanrou asked, Huayan couldn't answer. Selfish people tend to shift the blame for things to others and ignore their own mistakes.

She suddenly felt pity for Lin Wanrou. "The poor must have pity!" Painted face sighed lightly.

"Death is on the verge of death, and I'm still pretending!" Lin Wan said softly, and suddenly turned around and glanced at the prison officer. The prison officer understood, summoned his men, lifted the painting upright, and tied her hands and feet firmly to the cross with iron chains.

The painting was indifferent to their mercy, and he already regarded death as home.

"Painting girl, long time no see, don't come unharmed!"

A hoarse old voice rang out.

Hua Yan slowly raised her head and looked through her damp hair at the person who was speaking. After seeing the person who came, she suddenly laughed easily, "You are finally here, give it back to you, and I can sleep well with peace of mind......"

With the growing fragrance of herbs, Hua Yan lowered his head and fell asleep deeply.

In the cold darkness, in addition to the sound of daring rats, there was also the sound of clothes rustling. Despite their light steps, it is still not difficult to tell that there are two people involved.

"Sister Yan'er? ...... Sister Yan'er, wake up! ”

A woman's anxious voice rang out outside the cell door where Hua Yan was.

After a long call, the cold body of the painter reacted. She squirmed and crawled towards the cell door, and asked tremblingly, "Who are you?" ”

"It's me, Xinnan!" Princess Yuzhang excitedly held Hua Yan's hand that was finally stretched out and said. A girl she brought with her was standing outside the hallway to control the wind.

"Xinnan? It's you? That's great...... I'm also worried that I won't be able to tell you before I die......" Hua Yan happily continued to move towards Princess Yuzhang. She was so happy that she had more stamina and moved her body.

Princess Yuzhang suddenly let go of Hua Yan's hand, looked at her in fear, and asked tremblingly, "Sister Yan'er...... Your eyes...... What's wrong with your eyes?! ”

Hua Yan quickly turned his head, hid in the dark, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry to scare you......"

Although Princess Yuzhang was a little scared, she still approached, held her hand tremblingly and said, "Did the concubine hurt your eyes?" I...... I'm looking for the royal brother! You have the immortal gold medal given by your father, who dares to be disrespectful to you?! ”

Hua Yan hurriedly grabbed Xin Nan's hand, who was about to leave, and said anxiously: "Don't go!" It's going to hurt you...... It's not a concubine, my eyes were sold to the ghost head a long time ago, and he took them before I died, as it should be. My eyes are for the people, and I don't blame anyone......"

As he spoke, he remembered everything in the past and Xiao Minglang, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from his empty eyes covered with gauze.

Across the railing, Xin Nan hugged her tightly in distress, "Sister Yan'er, tell me what I can do for you!" ”

Huayan gently patted Xinnan's shoulder, shook his head and said, "No need." I am destined to have this fate, and no one can reverse it. ”

She knew that Princess Yuzhang's situation was not good, although she was in the palace, without the protection of the emperor, she would only have the fate of being slaughtered. She couldn't bother her anymore.

"From now on, you have to write down every word I say, Xinnan, did you hear that?!" Hua Yan continued, she forgot all the pain in her body because of her excitement, and she tried to lift herself up, trying to get closer to her.

Xin Nan nodded with teary eyes and said, "Sister Yan'er, what else do you have to say?" I'm listening! ”

Huayan tried to find the direction of Xin Nan's breath, leaned in, and said nervously: "Xin Nan, your mother is still in this world!" She's been looking for you and waiting for you to come home! ”

"What?! Mother is not dead?! Xin Nan exhaled in surprise.

Huayan hurriedly signaled her to be quiet, and said cautiously: "Yes, she is not dead, she has been living in Taoyuan, she is my fifth master, Aunt Pan." You have a birthmark of a lily on your right hand, which she told me. When you were eight years old, Pangu took you out of the palace, and you were still quietly brought back by Liu Yu on the way, but Pangu didn't know that in order to find you, she begged all the way until she was rescued by people in Taoyuan. When you are free, you must go to Pangu, she has been looking forward to your home......"

This paragraph, using up all the strength of her whole body, she panted and fell to the ground again, breathing hard.

Xin Nan sat on the ground in disbelief, thinking blankly about what Hua Yan had just said.

"Who is so bold as to dare to go against the will of the Queen Mother and trespass into the dungeon?!"

In the darkness, Lin Wanrou was supported by someone and slowly walked in. She didn't go far, but kept watch in order to arrest the person who rescued the painter.

Xin Nan woke up from his confusion and stood up in horror. Originally, she secretly came in to visit Huayan by bribing the jailer, but without the consent of the Queen Mother, she had no confidence to respond at this time.

She lowered her head and waited for Lin Yunrou to fall.

Huayan was afraid that Lin Yunrou would poison Xin Nan again, struggled to grab the prison door, and roared angrily: "If you dare to touch her, I won't let you go!" ”

Lin Wanrou became interested when she heard this, "It seems that you care about her very much?" What exactly is your relationship? One risked death to visit, the other sacrificed his life to protect each other, it's not easy......."

Sensing something, she burst out laughing, and continued, "Since you care about her so much, I'm going to deal with her!" She turned to her subordinates behind her and whispered, "Come on, Princess Yuzhang openly disobeyed the Empress Dowager's decree and didn't take her down!" ”

"Yes!" The attendants rushed up in a honeycomb and firmly pinned down Xin Nan.

"Stop!"

Another group of black and oppressive crowds poured into the dungeon.

The princess, with a majestic posture, walked over with firm steps.
