It was cold and the sky was covered with decaying straw, emitting a disgusting and unpleasant smell. It was not only cold, but also a breath of death everywhere.

The rat and cockroach were like entering a no-man's land, crawling back and forth without even looking at the people curled up in the corner. A mouse saw that Chen Yao was still moving for a long time, and even boldly ran over to chew the corner of his robe stained with mud. It seemed that it was quite delicious to chew. He turned around and squeaked at the other mouse twice, and the mouse also ran over with the courage to chew together.

Not only that, there were also bursts of screams and wailings from the side of the prisoner, either shrill or crazy. Chen Yao seemed to be unable to hear anything or see anything. He just closed his eyes slightly and curled up on the rotten straw.

The calmness on the surface does not mean the calmness in his heart. He was secretly recalling the topographic map of this cell. After a while, a complete topographic map was clearly reflected in his mind. He began to carefully consider how to make full use of this topographic map to plan the escape route.

Even in a desperate situation, he would not be able to surrender. It was just a heavenly prison. What he had experienced before was much scarier than this heavenly prison.

"This rebel in the country who wins the country killed me and became the country's number one beauty, so I should be killed by Lingchi..."

Next to them were several jailers sitting there drinking and eating peanuts, gnawing on roast chicken, chicken bones, and peanut shells sprinkled on the table.

For men, beauty is always a topic of interest to them.

"Don't mention Ji Changqing. I went to see her when she was cut in half. Oh..." Another prison guard suddenly shivered, and a look of unbearable look on his face. "That kind of beauty is so bad-looking, even her intestines fell out..."

"Oh... It's a pity that such a beauty is so evil. Chen Yao is really retribution for evil. Who would have thought that he was a member of the country, and was he framed by him..."

"Shh..." A jailer immediately reached out his hand nervously and made a gesture of silence, "You can't say this nonsense, you need to be beheaded."

When he said this, everyone would be silent, and another person said, "Hey, it's time to deliver meals to the thief."

Someone laughed and said, "A dog, what else do you want to eat?" As he said, he looked at the chicken bones piled on the table, "Dogs like to gnaw on bones the most."

While speaking, a prison guard brought a bowl of rotten rice soup, with a few rotten vegetable leaves floating on the rice soup. Then he came over and grabbed a handful of chicken bones from the table, and smiled and said, "That's right. Today I'm kind-hearted and open up meat for him."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed again.

The prisonman covered his nose and handed it to the prison with an unpleasant meal amid laughter, shouting, "Hey, Ying Guogou, come here to have a meal."

Chen Yao ignored his words and still sat there motionless, but his fists couldn't help but clenched tightly. When the two mice gnawed at the corner of his clothes saw that there was food, they immediately gave up eating at the corner of his clothes. They opened their thief eyes and crawled over carefully.

The jailer snorted coldly: "Damn, I still think that I am a Grand Master, and I don't see what kind of ungrateful dog thing I am! I like to eat, but I don't eat it!"

After saying that, he angrily slapped the bowl on the ground, sprinkled the soup, and then he cursed a few more times and turned and left.

Just after walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a man shouting: "Who dares to break into the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Justice!"

"Princess Leyang is here."

"What? Princess Leyang."

The prisoners were frightened and even scolded Chen Yao, laughed at him and insulted Chen Yao. They all held their breath and stood with their heads down.

Bang!

The heavy iron lock was opened, and the sudden sound finally alarmed Chen Yao. He opened his eyes suddenly and slowly raised his head to look towards the prison door.

The prison gatehouse made a squeak that seemed to be dying, and was slowly pushed away.

A sensation of rushing to the nose came to her nose, and Song Yiru waved her hand unhappily. When she saw Chen Yao, who was once handsome and gentle, became a miserable person at this moment, like a rough jade that fell into the mud and dust, losing all his glory.

Her heart suddenly hurt.

"Ziyue..."

She choked and ignored the dirty and unpleasant smell, she lifted the wide hood that covered her head and ran over quickly.

"Yiru..."

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but few people help in time. At this moment, Chen Yao still felt a little moved in his heart. He thought that Song Yiru was just greedy for male sex, but he didn't expect that he really had a true love for him.

He was excited and stood up to greet her. As soon as he got together, he realized that his body was so weak that he couldn't stand up.

The poison on his body was not yet resolved, and he didn't even have any strength at all.

"Ziyue, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that he couldn't even stand up, Song Yiru's face turned pale and his heart became even more clenched.

Although there were countless men around her, from beginning to end, there were only two men she wanted to get the most, and she had never changed. No matter what Shen Yao became or which country he was from, for her, he was Shen Ziyue, the person she always wanted to get and love.

"Yiru, don't come here, it's dirty."

He was unable to stand up, so he stopped struggling, but raised his head and looked at her with a very sad look.

"No, as long as you are there, I won't think it's dirty."

She finally couldn't help crying. While crying, she squatted down and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Seeing the wound on his face, she reached out and stroked his face with heartache.

"Ziyue, why did you become like this? Who hurts you?"

He trembled and stretched out his hand, holding her hand, trying to hold it tightly, but he didn't even have the strength to hold her tightly, his voice so hoarse that it was about to break into pieces.

"Yiru, you shouldn't have come to see me. You go, you can leave quickly."

"No, Ziyue, I won't leave. Tell me, are you really winning against the Chinese people?"

Chen Yao nodded with a dim look and asked again: "Do you care a lot?"

Seeing that he looked sad and miserable, Song Yiru couldn't help but hold his hand tightly, pressed his hand to his face with tears rolling, and shook his head and said, "No, I don't care which country you are from, you are Ziyue, the person I always like."

Seeing that she was tender and affectionate, Chen Yao couldn't help but show a look of emotion on her face. Thinking about Luo Chan's affection for him at the beginning, but he has always been indifferent. His current touching is not because he fell in love with Song Yiru, but because a person's mood has changed.

When a person is forced into a desperate situation, whoever extends a warm hand to him can warm a heart that has long become cold.

Just like that, on that snowy afternoon, he fainted beside Ji Changqing's carriage. When she stretched out her soft little hand towards him, in the haze, he opened his eyes slightly, as if he saw a little fairy's face.

At that moment, he never forgot it, and until now, it is deeply buried in the deepest part of his heart.

Later, they grew up together, and he liked her more and more, even shook his will, wanting to give up his hatred and dream of restoring the country for her.

However, when his mother waved a sharp whip at him, and when she scolded him for forgetting his hatred for killing his father for the sake of a woman, his hatred and his dream of restoring his country burned again.

He can't change for a woman.

Besides, he always thought that Ji Changqing and Song Jingnian were still unclear. Originally, he didn't want to do it so well, but when he saw Ji Changqing's jade pillow and close-fitting clothes running to Song Jingnian, he could not control the flame of jealousy.

In fact, shortly after Ji Changqing's death, he realized that he was most likely to blame Ji Changqing for his mistake at that time.

Because Wei Yuanji killed two sedan chairmen in Luo Mansion, and the two sedan chairmen were the infamous Black Wind brothers, and these Black Wind brothers were bandits.

He was very suspicious that the thief who stole the jade pillow and close-fitting clothes from the Zen room of Song Jingnian of Xiangye Temple was the Black Wind brothers.

The Heifeng brothers were actually related to the Luo Mansion. You could guess that it must be Luo Chan's instructions. In order to get him, she predesigned everything and accused Ji Changqing of the dirty and falsely accused him.

It was precisely because of this that his heart hurt even more and he missed her even more.

He sighed in pain, his face full of helplessness and sadness: "Yiru, go, come and come to see me, neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor will spare you."

"No, Ziyue, I must save you." She raised her tears and looked at him firmly, "I will go and ask my mother to beg me, my brother, and they will let you go."

"It's useless, Yiru, don't beg them, otherwise you will not only not be able to save me, but also implicate yourself." He suddenly smiled bitterly and wiped the tears from her face with his right hand, "You will soon marry into Liguo and become Princess Li, don't ruin yourself for me."

It would be fine if I didn’t mention the country, but when I mentioned Song Yiru, I became even more angry and sad: “I can’t save you, I will definitely not marry that ugly monster.”

"Why, Yiru, are you worth it for me?"

“I say it’s worth it.”

"Okay, Yiru." He leaned slowly over, his lips pressed against her ear, and said something in her ear.

Song Yiru just listened quietly. After listening, she helped Shen Yao and turned her back to the prison guards. The prison guards knew that Song Yiru was the heart of the queen mother. When she came to visit Shen Yao, she dared not be alone approaching the prison cell without any ignorance.

Song Yiru took out a white handkerchief, Shen Yao bit his finger, frowned, and began to draw pictures on the handkerchief. After a while, a topographic map was drawn, and then he solemnly handed it to Song Yiru.

Song Yi put a handkerchief into her chest, just like she and Shen Yao’s future happiness.

"Okay, Yiru, this prison is really not where you should stay. Go back quickly!"

"No, Ziyue, I want to stay with you for a while." After doing everything, she leaned her head deep into his arms, and her shoulders were crying, "Ziyue, don't worry, I will definitely do it."

No one knew what she promised Shen Yao to do at this moment.

Chen Yao felt something, and reached out to touch her soft hair gently, sighed: "Who will you regret in this life?"

When Song Yiru heard this, she couldn't help but feel even more moved and just leaned in his arms and cried.

At this time, Sai Jin, the palace maid who came with Song Yiru, carefully reminded: "Princess, it's time to leave!"

"Ziyue, you are waiting for me, you must wait for me, I will come to save you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely wait for you." After saying that, Chen Yao looked at her with a reluctant look, touched her face, and said solemnly, "Yiru, you must also protect yourself. When you have no ability to resist, you can only endure it."

"Well, I understand, Ziyue..."

Shortly after Song Yiru left the Tianzhu, the Empress Dowager personally interrogated Chen Yao.

The Empress Dowager looked tired, and there was anxiety hidden in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. She was sitting upright on the chair, looking down at Chen Yao who was kneeling on the ground.

"Chen Yao, did you instruct someone to rob An Nan?"

Yesterday, when I went to Xiuyun Villa to pick Yun Annan up from Xiangyun Temple, I got shocking news. Yun Annan suddenly disappeared. She sent someone to search almost half of the mountain, but she couldn't find any trace of Annan.

She began to suspect that it was Chen Yao's black hand.

Although he was arrested, the forces behind him were mixed. It is said that if a centipede is dead without being stiff, he will definitely fight back, and An Nan is likely to become a hostage in his hands.

A momentary surprise appeared on Chen Yao's face. Soon, he calmed down, raised his head and stared at the Queen Mother with a sneer, "Yes, so what?"

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale: "You can release her quickly, otherwise the Ai family will let you die without a complete body!"
