Chapter 382 Chapter 382 Purgatory
The door was just a false cover. I was slapped by the heavy slap in the face and suddenly opened the false cover. I fell outside the threshold in a mess, hitting my forehead with a hard bluestone slab, and a dull pain immediately hit me.
It hurts so much...
Not only was there a pain on my forehead, but it seemed that there were thorns in my body and heart. When it was flowing, it hurt all over my body. I was hit so hard that my eyes were white. I suddenly opened my eyes wide and wanted to see him clearly, but I couldn't see anything. At this moment, only the pain in my body was the most real.
I tasted the fishy smell at the tip of my tongue, but the slap just now broke the corner of my mouth.
After a long time, the white mist in front of him slowly dissipated. He took a step and looked at me condescendingly, his face full of cold expressions as cold as ice.
"Yue Qingying!"
He stared at me tightly, as if he wanted to see through my soul, and bite, "You don't remember a single word of what I said."
I swallowed the salty mouth from my mouth hard and looked up at him.
"You didn't remember a word in your 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 wanted to say that I still remember that I remember every word he said, which made me happy, and made me happy, and also made me feel unforgettable. I remember all the things I had at this time that were nothing to say, not because I couldn't say it, but because I felt ridiculous.
I am not as smart as I think. Smart people can control themselves, but I can never.
"You don't believe me..."
These four words finally spoke, but one word hurts more and more.
He stared at me, without saying a word, but his face was filled with an angry look. However, Nangong Lizhu, behind him, walked slowly over and looked at me from a high place, like a fairy standing in the clouds looking down at the straw dog.
I suddenly laughed.
With this smile, the wound at the corner of the lips cracked deeper and hurt deeper. Tears fell and salty tears mixed with salty blood and flowed into the mouth.
I didn't want to compare with her, since the first time, because I knew earlier than anyone else that this man would be chanting her name without any consciousness after being drunk. 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 hurt or difficult it is, she will always be a fairy standing in the clouds and can look down on me.
And what can I do to make myself equal to her?
I laughed, laughing louder and louder, shaking my head while laughing, tears wet my whole cheeks.
The people outside were originally waiting far away, but maybe they were nervous when they saw a few imperial doctors going out in a panic. When they saw me falling out, they all walked over. Eunuch Yu walked carefully in front of him and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
After a while, he swallowed his saliva and trembled forward: "Emperor...Emperor..."
"By her!"
"ah?"
Eunuch Yu was stunned for a moment, looked down at me who was still smiling on the ground, and said nothing, turned around and waved his hand. The guard next to him immediately came forward to drag me up from the ground.
"Emperor..." Eunuch Yu glanced at me again before asking in a low voice: "Yes, will you send it back to the South Courtyard?"
He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Pending to prison!"
“…!”
At this moment, not only Eunuch Yu, but all the palace maids and eunuchs around him opened their eyes wide in shock. Even Liu Zhaoyi was shocked. Look at me, then look at Nangong Lizhu who had been standing in the room and was silent. Her expression slowly calmed down and she didn't say a word.
The guards took the order and carried me out. When they passed by those people, Liu Zhaoyi looked at me with a slightly frown, and a hint of ecstasy appeared on his face.
I curled the corners of my lips.
.
The prison in Yangzhou is harder to stay than the prison in heaven.
The dungeon was cold and damp, with a disgusting smell of mold. The ground of the cell was covered with grass, but it became moldy because of the moisture. There were also a few mice crawling around. At first, they were careful for a day or two, but later they saw me leaning against the corner of the wall without moving, and they became bolder. One of them actually ran over and chewed the corner of my skirt.
I looked down at it and laughed.
It turns out that I have lived for half my life and am not as good as a mouse.
The mouse also knows how to seek profit and avoid harm. He knows that he will hurt himself if he escapes, but bullies will not resist. However, I will only hurt myself again and again, from the body to the heart, without reservation.
I watched it bit by biting the corner of my skirt, and at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside. The mouse's black eyes were wide open, and immediately rushed towards the corner of the wall, drilled into the mouse hole, and looked outside carefully.
I have no idea of time when I come here. I rely solely on the sunshine shining from the high skylight. It should be dusk now, and the cell only has food once a day, which is now.
A bowl of rotten rice soup was put in, and a few rotten vegetable leaves were soaked in it, which was disgusting.
The prison guard also covered his nose and looked at the bowl he put in two days ago. The porridge and vegetable leaves inside had begun to grow mold, cursing: "Why don't you eat it? You are still picky 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. I couldn't wait to jump up and pick up the bowl, grabbed the vegetable leaves inside with my hands and stuffed them into my mouth. The rice soup fell from the corner of my mouth and left it in my neck. The mud on my clothes mixed together, making it even more dirty.
I closed my eyes in a depressed manner.
"Damn it, you think you are something!"
The prisonman was angry and kicked him over. The soup bowl was kicked over and the rice soup splashed on my face.
The smell of rancidness made me tremble for a moment and wanted to reach out to wipe it, but after two or three days of hunger, my hands didn't even have the strength to lift them up, so I could only close my eyes tighter.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the prison guard turned around and left cursed. As soon as he took two steps, he heard him shouting: "Who? What?"
"Eunuch Yu, the eunuch in charge of the eunuch, is here!"
"Ah? Eunuch Yu!"
I frowned slightly, opened my eyes, and saw the man kneeling down. Just as I was about to say something, a familiar figure had already come over. As soon as I approached the door of the cell, I immediately frowned.
"What's going on?"
"ah?"
The jailer and follower next to him were at a loss and stared at him blankly. Eunuch Yu stepped forward and looked at me leaning against the corner of the wall. She was soft and like an empty sack, and said, "How could this happen? What did you do to her?"
When the prison guard heard this, he hurriedly said, "Eunuch Yu, we did nothing. It's because she refused to eat!"
Eunuch Yu was shocked when he heard this, looked at me again, and then waved his hand: "Go down."
"yes."
The few followers he brought also retreated. Eunuch Yu held the fence and looked at me with a look of indulgence on his face. After a while, he said, "Miss Qing, why are you - so confused?"
“…”
I struggled to get up, but my whole body was as empty as my own, so I could only barely speak. I opened my mouth and my dry throat seemed to be burned by fire. I said with difficulty: "It's him, do you want to see me?" That's why I sent you here.
It's been so many days, and it's time for him to come and examine me.
Eunuch Yu sighed: "No."
"..." I looked at him.
No? He doesn't want to see me yet? Or - he doesn't have to see me anymore?
"Miss Shuixiu has been sentenced."
My heart suddenly became thrust.
I also thought before that they would definitely catch Shuixiu, because she was the only one with me that day, and this was the one I had been suffering in my heart these days. If I had known that Mo Tieyi was in February, I would definitely not have taken her there, but now things have been born and irreversible. But when I heard that she was passively punished, my dry eyes became hot again.
"How is she?"
"This girl can't stand it. She said everything that day. She asked our family to send a message to say that she was sorry for you, but she really couldn't stand it." Eunuch Yu sighed again, "Miss Qing, you don't want Miss Nangong to come back. We all understand, but you can't - you do everything without hiding it from the emperor!"
“…”
By the way, I remembered that in order to let Shui Xiu hide the matter of Er Yuehong that day, I told her that it was because I didn’t want Nangong Lizhu to come back. Now, just this sentence is enough for me to die ten times.
Eunuch Yu pointed at me and said, "You - you are so confused!"
I smiled sadly.
Actually, I am not confused. I can guess the situation today, so I tried every means to conceal Nangong Lizhu's whereabouts, because I knew that once Pei Yuanhao knew Nangong Lizhu's whereabouts, he would be so desperate, but he didn't expect that she would appear by herself.
It seems that no matter how scheming it is, it cannot be considered God's will or their relationship.
"Then, why haven't the emperor come yet?" I said depressedly: "Aren't you tortured me?"
"Miss Nangong's injuries are several fatal. The emperor has been with her for a while and has not taken care of it yet." Eunuch Yu looked at me again and said, "We are here today to see you--" He said, looking at my pale face and the surrounding environment, and said, "Miss Qing, if the emperor really sees you, you must remember to speak softly and beg for mercy. This time, the matter is different from the past; Miss Nangong, Xu Xian, and the eldest prince are different!"
It turns out that he came today because he wanted to do it.
He was afraid that I would seek death.
I gritted my teeth tightly and used my hands to hold myself up on the rough wall. My fingertips were worn out. The piercing pain gave me some strength. I looked at Eunuch Yu and said, "Thank you, old man, I'll ask you something."
“…”
"Is there any movement on the assassin's side?"
When Eunuch Yu heard this, his face immediately became darker and he said stiffly: "Miss Qing, these are no longer something you can ask about."
My fingertips trembled, and then they left blood marks on the stone wall. I fell weakly in the corner of the wall. Looking at the frowning of Eunuch Yu, I also understood that it was not only Nangong Lizhu's case on me. The relationship between Mo Tieyi and others was a matter of sharing the worries of the emperor when things were done, and if things failed, they would have an affair with the Southern thugs, and they would have to behead them.
Eunuch Yu came to see me, but he could no longer make things difficult for him as he was concerned about the love he had in the harem.
So I smiled powerlessly.
"You girl!" Eunuch Yu sighed, then turned around and left. I thought about it and called him again: "Father-in-law."
