Lin Si originally planned to stay with Hua Susu for a meal and spend more time with her.

He could also see that although Hua Susu already had a lot of people around him and could be lively at any time, he still seemed to be very lonely.

Lin Si didn't understand why this was happening, and there wasn't much he could do.

After all, he is indeed very busy, and he still has Tang Xiaozhi, so he can't accompany Hua Susu every day.

It's just a pity that the conversation between the two lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and a eunuch rushed over and invited him to the study, Yue Luoning had something to discuss with him.

Because of this, he could only say goodbye to Hua Susu in advance.

As for when the next time he will return, no one can say.

He didn't lie, after conquering Qianlan Qingchuan and the situation was completely stabilized, Yue Luoning couldn't wait to continue the foreign expedition.

The next target is the two countries of Southern Qi and the grassland.

During the Tianyin Rebellion before, Nanqi and the grassland had brazenly invaded the Moon Country, especially the Grassland Country, which burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil.

For attacking these two countries, Lin Si didn't have any rejection and resistance, he just felt that it was too fast. But Yue Luoning couldn't wait, what could he say?

The war would probably start in a few months, and he certainly wouldn't have time to care about the distant city of Strings.

Maybe the next time I come to see Hua Susu, I will have to wait until the war is over.

Will that be a year from now, or two or three years from now? They don't know.

If Lin Si used his divine sense to perceive around in Hua Susu's dormitory, then he would find that Zhou Zichuan was actually still here. It's just that his situation is not too good.

It is not too surprising that there are dark chambers hidden in some parts of the palace. Especially Hua Susu's dark room, which was just built some time ago, was also tacitly approved by Yue Luoning.

Underneath the room where she slept was a dark room.

The iron cage was also moved below, and the cage was inhabited by Zhou Zichuan, who had long since ceased to be what he used to be.

It's a pity that Lin Si has always respected Hua Susu very much, and using his divine sense to spy around in other people's rooms is obviously not a very respectful thing.

So he didn't see Zhou Zichuan, who was in ragged clothes and covered in scars, lying motionless in the cage like a dead man.

I didn't see the ground next to the cage, which was littered with angular whips and bloodstained rattans.

Hua Susu She ...... I didn't give up on this 'fun' at all.

There was the sound of the stone slab being removed from the top of the dark room, and the man lying on his stomach in the cage unconsciously looked up the stairs not far away. When the pink dress appeared in his sight, his eyes showed instinctive horror and fear, but at the same time, there was a hint of expectation.

He was terrified because he knew there would be a 'routine' beating that would follow. He was looking forward to it because he hadn't eaten rice for two days, and he was very thirsty and hungry.

yes, that's the life he's living now.

Hua Susu didn't plan to kill him, but only planned to torture him all the time. She will come here from time to time according to her mood, and only when she comes down can Zhou Zichuan get food and drink water.

Although every time she came down, she would beat him like a vent, but Zhou Zichuan was afraid that she would really forget about it for a while.

In that case, you may die of thirst or starvation.

There was a bottle of poison in his cage, which Hua Susu had deliberately thrown inside after a whim. This is also a kind of torture for him, psychological torture.

Maybe one day, he will drink that bottle of poison because he is hungry, because he is too thirsty, because he can't stand the torture?

However, he had been in the dark room for three months now, and he still hadn't used the poison. Yes, he wants to live, and he has always felt that as long as he lives, he has a chance.

His will, no one can destroy.

What's more, I have already endured such humiliation and torture, if I give up halfway and die quietly like a wild dog, wouldn't it be too worthless?

The cage was opened, and Zhou Zichuan, who was shackled, crawled out.

Looking at Hua Susu, who was holding a bag of unknown food in his left hand and a rattan in his right hand, standing in front of him and looking down at him, he hung his head silently.

There's nothing left to say, and sometimes they don't even talk to each other for half a month.

Now he even has the right to speak, and he can only have it with Hua Susu's permission. The only sound he could make was screaming.

Syllable!

The hard cane with the thorns whipped on his back, and as it left his body, it scraped the left side of his neck by the way, bringing a trail of blood.

She didn't need too many reasons and excuses at all, she wanted to fight, so she did.

"Ah......h

The pain made him howl.

I am afraid that no one can bear such pain as a habit. However, with his Zhou Zichuan's will, if he really holds on, I am afraid that even if he is hit more than 100 times, he can still grit his teeth and remain silent.

But he didn't do that, because he knew that what Hua Susu wanted to hear was his own screams.

If she didn't scream, roll around in dissatisfaction, don't kiss and cry wildly with her shoes, and don't show extreme pain and enough ugliness, then she will just keep beating until she passes out.

The smell in the dark room is very foul and even foul.

And in such an environment, this torture is going on quietly. No one is going to come in and disturb everything that's going on here, and not many people know what's going on here.

The dozen or so secret guards around the Yongqiu Hall might be able to guess, but they didn't say anything. The Dark Guard is probably the person who has seen the most darkness in the Moon Country, and this kind of thing is not unusual to them, because they have seen more absurd and cruel things.

Hua Susu didn't whip and laugh like before. At this time, she just looked calm, as if this matter was normal.

Zhou Zichuan may never be able to get used to such torture, because he is the one who is tortured. But Hua Susu was used to it, and she was even beginning to find it boring.

I don't know how long it took, but the whipping finally ended.

She casually threw the rattan aside, and the man shrunk on the ground gasped violently, a layer of sweat mixed with blood crawling all over his body.

Then, the leaves and scraps fell to the ground on top of his head. In addition to that, there is a hydration bladder.

He hurriedly picked up the water bag and drank it in a big gulp, and then lay on the ground and kept scooping up the food that even cats and dogs might dislike, and stuffed it into his mouth crazily.

Hua Susu walked to the only chair in the dark room and sat down, and then quietly looked at him who was lying on the ground eating.

She suddenly felt a burst of amusement, is this the man who once made her heart so hard that she couldn't sleep all night?

Now he doesn't even look as good as a dog.

However, he is actually many times more powerful than many men outside, even if he has no strength. If you let him out now, it may not be long before he can stir up the storm again.

That's ridiculous......

"Ten days ago, I got along with the third son of the Wenkang Palace, do you think this matter will harm Lin Si?"

In the dark room, where there was only the sound of chewing and sucking, her voice suddenly sounded, and the object of her speech was naturally only Zhou Zichuan.

So Zhou Zichuan, who was busy fighting with food, raised his head blankly, this was the first time he heard her say 'business' to himself after he fell into Hua Susu's hands.

So much so that his head almost failed to turn the corner.

"King Wenkang, who is it?" his voice was as dry and hoarse as rubbing sand.

Hua Susu smiled sarcastically: "Heh, I forgot, you have been here for too long, and you don't know what is going on outside." ”

"Yes. Zhou Zichuan silently lowered his head.

"The Moon Kingdom defeated Qianlan and recovered Qingchuan. King Wenkang is the previous king of Qingchuan. The third son of the palace is the former third prince of Qingchuan. He's ...... now. He is my servant. ”

When she said this, she couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart.

The only person he can fully trust is Lin Si, but the only person he can say from his heart is the person in front of him.

Although not because of any affection, but because he has been completely pinched in the palm of his hand.

"Oh. Zhou Zichuan replied in a low voice, but his thoughts began to run wildly.

Although it was only two sentences, it contained too much information for him.

It turns out that the Moon Kingdom has expanded to this point so quickly? Even Qianlan has been defeated? What is Hua Susu doing every day now, that is, constantly sleeping with those princes and nobles and celebrities from all walks of life?

This woman has completely degenerated!

She asked herself this question, probably worried that the identity of the former King Qingchuan was too sensitive, right?

He asked tentatively, "King Wenkang's family, in addition to the title of prince, has he been arranged for other official positions?"

"No, they're just princes. ”

"They're all living in String City now?"

"How else can I know them if I'm not in String City?"

"What about the previous Minister of Qingchuan, but it was once reused?"

"I don't know very well, but the former Qingchuan Prime Minister Xuan Shen seems to be a third-grade official now. ”

"The old minister of Qingchuan, can you have frequent contacts with King Wenkang's family?"

Hua Susu tilted her head and thought for a while: "It shouldn't be too often." ”

"It seems that Yue Luoning intends to absorb the talents of Qingchuan and Qianlan for his own use, so that he can settle down these two countries as quickly as possible. What you care about is that the identity of King Wenkang may be used to make a big fuss, but you don't have to worry too much about this. ”

"Why?"

"Yue Luoning will not attack King Wenkang, if she wants to appease the people of Qingchuan, she needs to be kind to King Wenkang. Unless King Wenkang rebels, nothing will happen. Now that the Moon Kingdom is too strong, if King Wenkang is not too stupid, he should be his comfortable prince honestly.

And Yue Luoning also needs the hearts of Qingchuan courtiers, you are friendly with the prince of Wenkang, and it can be regarded as a manifestation of the court's acceptance of Qingchuan people, she will not care. What's more, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you do something very wrong, with Lin Si here, Yue Luoning can't move you. ”

"She doesn't care what she has to do with me? I just ask you, will this matter hurt Lin Si?"

"Of course not, but don't play with Wenkang Wang Shizi, he's not worth it. If he is safe and divided, it will be just an outdated prince. If he's restless, you're going to get in trouble. ”

"It's not your turn to be reminded. Hua Susu said impatiently.

"Yes......"

Zhou Zichuan lowered his head and immersed himself in the food on the ground again.
