The Royal Palace, inside the Imperial Study

It was already very late at night, and King Zhou was busy with official documents, his fingers pinched his brows, and he looked exhausted.

"Yi'an, what time is it?"

Yi'an's eyes were full of worry, and he replied softly: "King, it's almost ugly, it's time to settle."

Zhou Jue stood up slowly, rubbed his waist, and sighed, "Alas...... , or go out...... Let's breathe."

"Yes!"

Yi An responded, followed behind King Zhou, and walked out of the side hall together.

The moon is in the sky, the stars are blinking, and the night is like water.

The night breeze of early summer, with a hint of coolness, is also wrapped in the fragrance of flowers and plants in the garden, and at night, I especially feel the fragrance is strong.

Zhou Jue walked slowly, looking at the silhouettes of the trees in the temple under the moonlight, breathing in the fragrant air.

Zhou Hui, who was distracted, suddenly came back to his senses and found that not far in front of him was an old plum tree protected by a guardrail, and unconsciously, he walked to the corridor not far from Xiema.

At this time, the plum blossom period has passed, and the fragrance is not there, but King Zhou stares at the old plum tree in a daze.

The little girl who carried a lantern on a snowy night and accompanied the flowers is no longer there, how is she doing?

Yi'an saw through the king's thoughts, stepped forward, and whispered: "King, today, there is news from that side, saying that the day before yesterday, that June Fourth was drunk, singing and dancing, and talking nonsense, and the whole thing was disturbed and was enforced by law enforcement...... Got into the "rat cage".

King Zhou tilted his head and looked back at Yi'an, "Oh? she, what is she talking nonsense?".

Yi'an glanced at King Zhou and replied with some hesitation: "She said, let people ask in the palace, the sky is not afraid...... There is no fear of the earth, no fear of death, no one is afraid...... The one, isn't it...... Flute...... Did you blow it?"

After listening to Yi'an, Zhou Jue shook his head, a wry smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and the expression on his face was half bright and half extinguished under the cold moon, "This damn thing, she ...... It's still there, hating loneliness, hoping for ...... They...... can subdue her".

"This "rat cage" is enough for her to suffer, and she suffers."

"You can't live if you do your own evil!" Alas...... That's all?"

Yi'an thought about it, and suddenly had disgust on her face, and added: "Ah, the song she sang is very good, what is like a mountain brother, a heart is anxious, a sister like water, tearful, what else is around, hugging, and concubine...... , and everything else, it's nonsense...... It's nothing special."

Looking at Yi'an's funny expression, Zhou Jue wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh, feeling that the person who said it and the little girl in his impression were like two people.

Looking at the old plum tree, Zhou Jue seemed to be able to vaguely see the little girl carrying the yellow lantern, in the heavy snow, counting the newly blooming plum blossoms one by one, her eyes have thousands of brilliance, and the beauty is extraordinary.

There is no ancient, no one after, a wonderful one!

Zhou Hao let out a long sigh, his brows frowned into a pimple, he really gritted his teeth with hatred when he encountered such an unprecedentedly difficult character, but he was also surprised, no matter what she did, she always had expectations for her in her heart.

What to expect?

Zhou Hao shook his head, he really didn't know, what should he expect from a little girl?

Looking at the king pursing his resolute lips, Yi'an knew that he was not angry in his heart, but he was reluctant, and he saw for the first time that the king was angry and brainy about a person, but he was also pitiful and thoughtful.

Is it the king, to the little musician?......

As soon as the thought came out, Yi'an was startled, and he couldn't help covering his mouth, not daring to continue thinking about it.

No, I must have thought wrong.

Yi An quickly overturned his thoughts, a monarch who is as rational as a king, will never be so irrational, he tried his best to stop his brother Zhou Gong, he can't think about female slaves, so how can he fall into it? Not to mention that little girl, who is not a woman yet, really can't see what charm she has.

Yi'an hurriedly retracted his thoughts, "King, tomorrow morning, I have to drive out on the expedition, it's time to go back."

Zhou Jue took one last look at the old plum tree in the moonlight, and sighed inscruably, "Let's go back."

On this dissolving moonlit night, there is also one person who has not slept, and that is Zhou Gong Zhou Dan.

Zhou Dan stood in the garden, beside his favorite orchid

The orchids under the moonlight are slim and elegant, like fairies covered with tulle, elegant, quiet and fragrant.

Zhou Dan's mind was not on the orchid, but on the big braid with a red rope in his hand and stroked it over and over again.

In the past two days, Zhou Dan always felt restless and uneasy, and once suspected that something had happened to Xiao Wu, and the more worried he was, the more he missed it.

Ever since Brother Wang told him that Xiao Wu was not dead, he had always wanted to ask her where she was, but Brother Wang didn't plan to say it at all, and Zhou Dan was helpless.

Zhou Dan once suspected that Brother Wang deliberately said that Xiao Wu was not dead because of his illness, which was an excuse to comfort himself, but he felt that Jun had no jokes, and Brother Wang would never lie to himself.

The special training camp is the name that Brother Wang and Taishi once mentioned when they discussed together, and neither of them deliberately avoided him, but Zhou Dan didn't know anything except the name of the special training camp and some of its functions, and of course he didn't know where it was?

Zhou Dan had already seen that Brother Wang attached great importance to Xiao Wu's abilities and admired her very much, and assigned her to do the most despicable work, constantly tossing her, in fact, he wanted to subdue her tempered.

Xiao Wu was branded as a slave, it is impossible to let her integrate into society, Zhou Dan guessed, the most likely place for Xiao Wu is the palace and the special training camp, he sent Junbao to secretly find the palaces, but he did not find Xiao Wu's shadow.

Nine times out of ten, it is in a special training camp.

Since Brother Wang took Xiao Wu away, he definitely wouldn't let himself find it, and Zhou Dan realized that he couldn't ask to see Xiao Wu again.

Xiao Wu has committed an unforgivable and rebellious sin, and Brother Wang can still spare her life, which is already an extrajudicial grace, if Xiao Wu is alive and the news is known to everyone, how will Brother Wang's majesty and the majesty of the law be placed?

Brother Wang values Xiao Wu, then he will definitely protect her, he must do a good job, get Brother Wang's approval, maybe in another year or two, when everyone forgets Xiao Wu, maybe he and Xiao Wu can see each other again, maybe with his own contributions, ask Brother Wang to reward Xiao Wu to himself and take care of her for a lifetime.

I hope that day will come as soon as possible, and now I must work hard, Zhou Dan made up his mind in his heart.

Thinking day and night, thoughts are flooded......

Zhou Dan filled his life with the busyness of day and night, he was worried about the big wedding in ten days, irritable and helpless, and often sat alone until dawn.

Life is like a dream, how can fate come and go?

I want to change but can't change it, since I can't become a lover who loves each other, then become the warmest existence in my heart, the most eternal lovesickness, and a lifelong confidant.

At this time, the two big figures who are being written into the history books, the little girl they miss, are being escorted away by two law enforcement officers to be punished.

It has been nearly five months since she came to the special training camp, and Xiao Wu has naturally heard of the precept room, knowing that it is a place that specializes in punishing all kinds of violations, and she has also heard that their methods are vicious, and those who have walked through it rarely dare to commit crimes again.

Xiao Wu was escorted out of the cave, walked a long way, crossed the river and beach, and then entered the cave, the road became more and more difficult and darker.

In Xiao Wu's heart, she was getting more and more scared, but her mouth was blocked, and she couldn't argue if she wanted to.

It was pitch black all around, and a law enforcement officer lit a torch and held it. The light disturbed some of the creatures in the cave that could not be seen clearly, and from time to time it made various terrifying and eerie sounds.

"Plop ......"

"Quack ......"

"Squeak ......"

“......”

All kinds of startled sounds, scared Xiao Wu was frightened, feeling a layer of goosebumps all over her body, a stinky smell, and she was retching and wanted to vomit.

The already drunk footsteps were unsteady, walking on uneven stones, and Xiao Wu was even more crooked.

A law enforcement glanced at him unhappily, helplessly stretched out his hand and half-dragged Xiao Wu forward, and finally, in the depths of the dark cave, he stopped.

The law enforcement untied the rope that tied Xiao Wu, took off the gag cloth, and the two of them each kicked Xiao Wu's hind legs, and immediately kicked her down, forcing her to get into an iron cage that could only accommodate one person lying on her stomach.

"Get in"

"I don't ......"

Law enforcement scolded, "Do you want to double the punishment?".

Xiao Wu remembered the words of Wuba's advice, didn't dare to argue anymore, and slowly climbed into the iron cage in front of him, and soon after, he felt that his feet were stared at vigorously, and his body was kicked forward by half a foot, and then, he heard the cage door being closed from behind him.

Xiao Wu turned her head vigorously, her eyes reflecting the light of the torches, just like the anger rising in her heart, she asked in a loud voice.

"What are you going to do?"

"Huh, what? Let you be in this rat cage...... Reflect on it, save a big mouth, and dare to talk nonsense"

The law enforcement with the torch glanced at the eyes crawling in the narrow "rat cage", his eyes were spewing fire, and Xiao Wu with an angry face, snorted coldly, and left with the torch.

"You bastards...... I, Lu Xiaowu, can't be crushed...... If you can't die, see what you can do with me?...... I, Lu Xiaowu, am not afraid of heaven and earth, not afraid of death, and afraid of your rat cage?...... You, Zhou Jue, I'm not afraid of you, you have the ability, you can come by yourself......"

Xiao Wu looked at the fading light, hissed and roared, and shouted hoarsely......
