Chapter 362: The Visitor
Luo Kui suddenly stood up, turned around, and looked at the swaying shadows on the white wall. His voice was slightly cold and calm, without a trace of turmoil: "You don't have to pretend to be pitiful to me. You and I have been together for several years. What kind of person are you, I know, what kind of person I am, and you also know that it is true to interact with you, and it is also true to use it. Otherwise, how can the matter of the Shui family be transmitted from your mouth to Qu Tianxiong's ears? If you hadn't known very well about the Shui family, how could Qu Tianxiong have forced you and turned against you, and there would be no destruction of the Qu family today."
Qu Lian cried and laughed, her voice desperate and shrill: "Okay, okay, okay, this time I am not as good as others. I am willing to give up the disadvantage. Shui Luokui, things have not yet taken the last step. Who will win the despair? Let's take a look."
After Qu Lian left, the rain outside the window stopped at some point. The dark night was deep, and the late autumn was like water. The coldness silently penetrated into every corner. There was a brief silence. Luo Kui never looked back, but only listened silently to the sound of heart breaking. Every sound passed by a thrilling pain. After a long pain, the broken heart seemed to be soaked in the cold winter and gradually became numb. Turning to look at the elusive night outside the window, people are always increasing the value of being used. In the chaotic times, only by being able to be used can they live longer.
After a long time, Luo Kui suddenly coughed several times with her sleeves, and a few tiny redness appeared on her originally white face. She said weakly: "Su Zi, the prince is in charge of the country, and the king Lin is in the palace. The order for the Qu family to exile to Yongzhou is probably coming soon. Qu Tianxiong must not be able to survive. He ordered the division along the way to make some preparations in advance, so that he can go to Yongzhou safely."
Su Zi nodded slightly and handed over the tea: "I know, I'll arrange it. You can't take more effort. Your body can't stand it. However," he paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "But, are we really not going to do anything against Qu Tianxiong?"
Luo Kui's eyebrows tightened, and the sorrow gradually became stronger and could not be dissolved. All the past came to her heart, which made her unable to breathe. After a long time, she thought: "No need, Qu Tianxiong followed Yun Jiangxiang and King Lin for decades, and knew too much. He had Yue Gu's life in his hand. No matter what, King Lin would not let him go."
There are four prisons in Qingzhou City, the Yeting Prison detained the royal relatives who committed the crime, the Qingzhou Government Office detained ordinary criminals, the Ministry of Justice prisons detained criminals to be tried, and the Tingwei Mansion prison is used to detain serious criminals, so the guards are naturally tighter than the other three prisons. They are guarded by the Qingzhou Imperial Guards. There has never been a handwritten order from His Majesty or the Prince, and no one can enter and exit at will.
The prison of Tingwei's Mansion in the evening breeze is a bit gloomy, and the countless layers of stone steps are like pale bone hands, holding people to an unknown abyss.
At the end of the stone steps were eight imperial guards. A long sword on their waists was carved with strange patterns. The purple arc jumped, and there was a sense of soul-swallowing. These people were all big and round, and they were evil. Not to mention the robbery, ordinary people just needed to get close to them and look at them, and they would shivering.
Outside the back door of the Tingwei Mansion Prison, Yun Liangjiang stuffed a bag of things into an imperial guards, lowered his voice and said, "Give it, take it."
The Imperial Guard's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly pushed the things back, looked around in a panic, and lowered his voice and said, "Criminal, don't make things difficult for the younger ones. If others know, the younger ones will not be able to save their job."
Yun Liangjiang hummed indifferently: "Come on, don't say it, if I don't say it, who can know."
The Imperial Guards waved their hands and said, "Criminal, there is a god who raises his head three feet high. The Qu family is guilty of deceiving the king. If the small one is told, the small one will lose their job and the big one will lose their heads."
"Bao, what a big deal, don't talk to me about the gods here." Yun Liangjiang stuffed the thing back and whispered: "I'll take a look and give me some food. It's not a prison robbery. What are you afraid of? You forgot where you went out."
The Imperial Guards looked puzzled and whispered: "The young one dare not forget. If it weren't for the marquis's praise, the young one would not be today, but, but." He made up his mind and said carefully: "Forget it, Prince, you go in and take a look and come out, don't talk about it everywhere."
Yun Liangjiang was stunned for a moment, and laughed and scolded: "You boy, when will I be so ignorant?"
The Imperial Guard raised his eyebrows and sneered: "My prince, others don't know you, but the young ones don't know you yet. If you know the importance of it, would you dare to come to the prison of the Tingwei Mansion?"
Yun Liangjiang smiled and was about to go forward. Unexpectedly, the Imperial Guard reached out and stopped the slender man who had been following Yun Liangjiang and had his head hanging down, and said wildly: "Criminal, don't take this long follower."
Yun Liangjiang glanced at the Imperial Guard, frowned, and raised her eyebrows impatiently: "Look at him, he is as thin as a stick, have he been robbed of prison?"
The Imperial Guard thought for a moment, putting one in is in, putting two in is in, leaving one outside for nothing, I am afraid it will attract more attention. He felt embarrassed: "Forget it, I can't afford to offend the prince, just go in, but don't go out and say."
Yun Liangjiang said impatiently: "I know, if you continue to waste like this, others will know if you don't know."
Two heavy and cold iron doors creaked slowly, revealing a dark and mossy-covered stone steps, leading to the dark depths. A dim lantern shone on the road ahead, and the slender and swaying figure carefully climbed down the steps, and the moldy and wet breath came to the face.
Most of the prisons, like dove cages, are empty. Even if there are people, they are lying in the straw pile in the corner, curling up to keep warm. It is late summer outside, and people feel depressed when the weather is hot. The cicadas are whispering day and night, and sweat is leaching. However, here is still as cold as the cold winter. With the deep tide, people stay here for a while and then wet and cold, and their teeth are trembling, their lips are trembling. Yun Liangjiang and Changsui, followed behind the Imperial Guards, walked silently through the long wet corridor and walked to a cell.
The Imperial Guard whispered: "Criminal, it's here. Let's talk about it for a long time. The young one will go outside and guard it."
Yun Liangjiang turned around and whispered, "Thank you." Then he rushed forward quickly, grabbed the iron railing, and shouted, "Yuansan, Yuansan."
When Qu Yuansan heard the movement, he was busy turning over and climbing out of the straw pile, staggering to the prison door, grabbed Yun Liangjiang's hand, and said in surprise: "Liang Jiang, why are you here? If the Marquis knows, you will be punished to kneel again."
"What's the point of kneeling? I'm not afraid." Yun Liangjiang waved to the back. Chang Sui, who had never spoken, quickly handed over a food box. He brought out the wine, meat and food and stuffed it in: "This prison has heavy yin energy, and it's hard to eat and sleep. I'll bring the wine, food, you can make up for it quickly."
Qu Yuansan was filled with emotion for a moment. He was now guilty. Everyone pushed him down. Others could not hide. However, Yun Liangjiang took the risk of angering the sage and being deposed to come to prison to see him, just to deliver these wine and food. His eyes were filled with water, and his expression was moved, and he even whispered: "Lianjiang, you, this fool, are so stupid."
The Qu family was originally a wealthy family in Qingzhou City, and Qu Yuansan was once a famous gentleman in Qingzhou City. But now in the shadows, he is mixed with straw in his scattered bun, and his gentle cheeks are light gray and decadent. His grace is gone, and he is in a mess, which makes people unbearable to look at him.
Seeing this scene, Yun Liangjiang couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and she didn't dare to show her sadness, so she had to smile bitterly and said, "You are still laughing at me for being stupid. You are smart. Why did you run into the prison? Could it be that you are tired of being a noble young man from a wealthy family and ran to the prison for a day trip."
The original Yun Liangjiang is still so good at using jokes to cover up her sadness. Qu Yuansan held the bowl and chopsticks, and felt even more swallowed, and she couldn't eat it.
Yun Liangjiang laughed again: "Why, I'm used to eating jail rice without oil and water. I'm afraid that eating these big fish and meat will cause diarrhea. It's okay, eat it soon. I'll order the prison guards. In the future, you can eat better."
Qu Yuansan forced himself to smile and said, "I spent a lot of money, I don't have the money to pay you back."
Yun Liangjiang smiled and said, "What are you going to pay back? Do you eat and drink mine? What's this little money? I even brought someone here."
After saying that, he took a step back, and Changsui stepped forward quickly, clenched the iron railing, and called out quietly: "Yuan Shen."
This sound like an alien sound, Qu Yuangan was suddenly stunned, and stared at the slowly raised face in amazement. The face was as beautiful as a lotus, with dark eyebrows like a mountain, and phoenix eyes slightly raised. Although it was cleared a lot, it did not damage the amazing beauty at all. This person was Xu Songlan, who died of difficult labor and posthumously named Xu Concubine.
"Song, Songlan, you are still alive." Since he learned about Songlan's death, Qu Yuansan felt as if he was depressed. This time he refused to steal the secrets in the Seven Stars Chart. One is that he is pure in nature and does not want to help the evildoer. The other is that he has already been in a life and death and wants to follow Songlan. But he never expected that Songlan was still alive and came here. He was clear in a flash. It was Su Zi's bottle of fake death medicine that worked. He took a step back: "You go quickly, go quickly, pretending to die is a serious crime to deceive the king. You have finally escaped. After survival, you shouldn't take risks again."
Songlan burst into tears, stretched out her hand to pull Qu Yuansan's hand, shook her head and shed tears: "I'm not relieved if I don't come to see you."
Qu Yuansan also shed tears and touched Sanglan's cheeks with difficulty, turned his head and smiled, "I feel at ease when I see you are safe and sound."
