382.Chapter 382: Purgatory
The door was just hidden, and I was struck down by the heavy slap, and at once I slammed open the hidden door, and the wolf fell beyond the threshold, and my forehead hit the hard bluestone slab, and a dull pain immediately struck.
It hurts......
Not only did it hurt on my forehead, but it seemed that there were thorns in my body and heart, and it hurt all over my body when it flowed, and I was hit so that my eyes turned white for a while, and I suddenly opened my eyes wide to see him clearly, but I couldn't see anything. At this moment, only the pain of the whole body is the most real.
The tip of the tongue tasted fishy, it was the slap just now, which cracked the corners of the mouth.
After a long time, the white mist in front of him slowly dissipated, and he took a step and looked at me condescendingly, his face full of cold as ice.
"Yue Qingying!"
He stared at me stiffly, staring hard, as if to see through my soul, and said, "You don't remember a word of what I said. ”
I swallowed the salty mouthful in my mouth and looked up at him.
"You didn't take a word to heart."
You don't believe me......
"Do you remember what I said?"
You don't believe me......
Looking at the frost on his face, I want to say that I still remember, I remember every word he said, what made me happy, what made me happy, and what made me miserable, I remember it all, there was nothing to say at this time, not because I couldn't say it, but because I felt ridiculous.
I'm not as smart as I think, smart people can control themselves, but I can't.
"You don't believe me......"
These four words finally came out of their mouths, but each word was more painful than the other.
He glared at me, without saying a word, but there was an angry look on his face, but Nangong Lizhu behind him walked over slowly, looking at me condescendingly, like a fairy standing in the clouds looking down on the dog.
I burst out laughing.
With this smile, the wound at the corner of his lips cracked deeper and hurt deeper, and tears fell one after another, and salty tears and salty blood mixed together and flowed into his mouth.
I didn't try to compare with her, not from the first time, because I knew before anyone else that this man would be drunk, unconscious, but constantly chanting her name, and when a man is drunk and does not forget this woman, then she is engraved in his heart. I can't compare with this woman, no matter how injured or difficult it is, she will always be a fairy standing in the clouds, looking down on me from above.
And I, what can I do to make myself equal to her?
I laughed, laughing louder and louder, shaking my head as I laughed, tears soaking my cheeks.
The people outside were originally waiting far away, maybe they were already nervous when they saw a few imperial doctors going out in a panic, and when they saw me fall out, they all came over, and Gonggong Yu walked cautiously in front, and he was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
After a while, he swallowed his saliva and stepped forward tremblingly: "The emperor...... Emperor......? ”
"Escort her down!"
"Huh?"
Father-in-law Yu was stunned for a moment, looked down at me who was still smiling on the ground, didn't say anything, turned his head and waved his hand, and the guards next to him immediately stepped forward and dragged me up from the ground.
"Your Majesty......" Father-in-law Yu glanced at me again, and then asked in a low voice: "Yes, send it back to the Southern Courtyard?" ”
He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Put it in prison!" ”
“……!”
At this moment, not only Father-in-law Yu, but also the palace maids and eunuchs around them all widened their eyes in shock, and even Liu Zhaoyi was shocked, look at me, and then look at Nangong Lizhu, who had been standing in the room without saying a word, his face slowly sank, and he didn't say a word.
When the guards received the order, they carried me out, and when they passed in front of those people, Liu Zhaoyi looked at me with a slight frown, and there was a trace of paleness on his face.
I hooked the corner of my lips.
The big prison in Yangzhou is more difficult to stay in than the heavenly prison.
The dungeon was cold and damp, exuding a disgusting musty smell, the floor of the cell was covered with grain grass, but it was moldy because of the dampness, and there were a few rats crawling around, and at first they were cautious for a day or two, but then they saw me leaning against the corner of the wall without moving, and they were bold, and one of them actually ran over and gnawed the corner of my skirt.
I looked down at it and laughed.
It turns out that I have lived half my life, and I am not as good as a mouse.
The rat also knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, knows that if you run away, you will hurt yourself, and you will not resist bullying, but I will only let myself be injured again and again, from body to heart, without reservation.
I watched it gnaw at the corners of my skirt little by little, and just then there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the rat's dark eyes widened, and immediately scurried towards the corner of the wall, burrowed into the rat hole, and cautiously looked out.
There is no concept of time here, only the sunlight shining from the high skylight, it should be dusk, and the cell only distributes food once a day, and it is now.
A bowl of rancid rice soup was put in, and a few rotten vegetable leaves were soaked in it, giving off a disgusting taste.
The jailer himself covered his nose, looked at the bowl that had been put in two days ago, and the gruel and vegetable leaves in it had begun to grow mold, and scolded: "Why don't you eat it, and you still pick and choose, and ask me to clean it up for you!" ”
I raised my eyes, looked at him, and then looked at the prisoners in the cage next to me, and couldn't wait to pounce on the bowl and pick up the bowl, grabbing the vegetable leaves inside with my hand and stuffing it into my mouth desperately, the rice soup fell from the corner of my mouth and left it in my neck, and the mud on my clothes was mixed together, making it even dirtier.
I closed my eyes in pity.
"Damn, you should be your own thing!"
The jailer was so angry that he kicked the soup bowl over, and the rice soup splashed in my face.
The rancid smell stimulated me to shiver and I wanted to reach out to wipe it, but I was hungry for two or three days in a row, and I didn't even have the strength to lift my hand, so I could only close my eyes tighter.
When the jailer saw that I did not speak, he turned away and walked away, and as soon as he took two steps, he heard him cry loudly, "Who? What for? ”
"The chief of the inner chamberlain, Grandpa Yu, has arrived!"
"Huh? Jade Gonggong! ”
I frowned slightly, opened my eyes, and saw the man kneeling, and was about to say something, when a familiar figure had already walked over, and as soon as he approached the door of the cell, he immediately frowned.
"What's going on?"
"Huh?"
The jailer and entourage next to him were at a loss, only looking at him stunned, and Father-in-law Yu stepped forward and looked at me leaning on the corner, soft like a hollowed out sack, and said, "How can this be?" What did you do to her? ”
When the jailer heard this, he hurriedly said, "Father-in-law Yu, we didn't do anything. It's her who refuses to eat! ”
Father-in-law Yu was shocked when he heard this, looked at me again, and then waved his hand: "Go down." ”
"Yes."
A few of the entourages he brought with him also retreated, and Father-in-law Yu looked at me with a look of unbearability on his face, and only after a while did he say, "Young girl, why are you so confused?" ”
“……”
I struggled to get up, but my whole body was so empty that it didn't look like my own, I could only barely speak, one mouth, my dry throat was like being burned by fire, and I said with difficulty: "Is it him, do you want to see me?" "That's why I sent you.
After so many days, it's time for him to come and interrogate me.
Father-in-law Yu sighed: "No. ”
"......," I looked at him.
No? He doesn't want to see me yet? Or - don't you have to see me anymore?
"Miss Shuixiu has already been sentenced."
My heart pounded.
I also thought before that they would definitely catch Shui Xiu, because she was the only one by my side that day, and it was this thing that I had been tormenting in my heart these days, if I knew that Mo Tieyi was red in February at that time, I would definitely not take her there, but now that things have happened, there is no way to do it, but when I heard that she was punished, my dry eyes burned again.
"She, how's it going?"
"This girl can't stand it, she has said everything that day. She asked our family to spread a word that she was sorry for you, but she couldn't stand it. Father-in-law Yu said and sighed again: "Young girl, you don't want Miss Nangong to come back, we all understand, but you can't hide everything from the emperor!" ”
“……”
By the way, I remember, that day, in order to let Shui Xiu hide the matter of Februaryhong, I told her that it was because I didn't want Nangong Lizhu to come back, but now it's good, just this sentence is enough for me to die ten times.
Grandpa Yu pointed at me and said, "You-you're so confused! ”
I smiled wryly.
Actually, I'm not confused, I can guess the situation today, so I will do everything possible to hide the whereabouts of Nangong Lizhu, because I know that once Pei Yuanhao knows the whereabouts of Nangong Lizhu, he will ignore it like this, but I didn't expect her to appear by herself.
It seems that no matter how scheming they are, they can't be considered providential, and they can't be counted as the feelings of the two of them.
"Then, why hasn't the emperor come yet?" I said in a sly voice, "Aren't you going to torture me?" ”
"Miss Nangong's injuries are fatal in several places, and the emperor has been with her, and she can't take care of it for a while." Father-in-law Yu glanced at me again and said, "Our family came today to come to see you-" He said, looking at my pale face, and then looking at the surrounding environment, and said, "Young girl, if the emperor really sees you, you must remember to speak softly and beg for mercy." This time it was different from any other time; Miss Nangong, unlike Concubine Xu Xian, is not the same as the eldest prince! ”
It turned out that he came today because of his own will.
He was afraid that I would seek death.
I gritted my teeth, grabbed the rough wall with my hands to prop myself up, my fingertips were worn out, and the pain in my heart gave me a little strength, I looked at Father-in-law Yu and said, "Thank you, old man, I will ask you about something." ”
“……”
"Is there any movement on the Assassin's side?"
When Father-in-law Yu heard this, his face immediately sank, and he said bluntly: "Young girl, these are no longer for you to inquire about." ”
With a tremor of my fingertips, I left blood marks on the stone wall, and I fell weakly in the corner, looking at the frowning appearance of my father-in-law, and I also understood that it was not only Nangong Lizhu that was on me. The interaction between me and Mo Tieyi and them became a matter of sharing the emperor's worries, and if the matter failed, it was an affair with a southern thug, and there was more than enough to cut off his head.
Father-in-law Yu came to see me, but he couldn't embarrass him anymore because he thought about the little affection he had in the harem.
So I smiled weakly.
"You girl!" Father-in-law Yu sighed, then turned around to leave, I thought about it, and called him again: "Father-in-law." ”
He looked back at me, I barely bothered to pick myself up, and asked, "Then, can you sue me, when will Prince Qi come back?" ”
