As usual, Ruan Ting sat bored at the table and wrote scriptures silently. This was considered a bit of his privilege as a former prime minister. He lived in a relatively clean and bright single room, and he was also provided with pen, ink, paper and inkstones.
But that's all.
In addition, the guard in the cell where he is located is tighter than other cells. Prisoners in other cells can still talk to their neighbors, and occasionally they can even hear the guards in the sky prison talking about things outside. But here, Ruan Ting is...
Exceptionally, people who come in will never say a word to him.
As time passed, he began to doubt whether he could speak anymore.
I don't even know anything about what's going on outside.
This feeling is very bad, especially after Xie Yan came to the prison to ask him some questions before, this feeling has grown day by day.
The heavy door opened, and Ruan Ting raised his head out of habit and realized that it was not time to eat yet.
After a while, several people walked in from outside.
Ruan Ting looked through the bars of the cell and saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar person.
Cao Mian.
Ruan Ting smiled helplessly, and it seemed that it was not a surprise so far.
The guard of the Tianlao opened the cell door opposite Ruan Ting, and Cao Mian walked in silently.
The guard didn't say much, closed the cell door, and left.
There was silence in the cell. Ruan Ting walked to the edge of the cell and looked at Cao Mian opposite. He couldn't help but frowned and said: "It seems that the Marquis has suffered a lot at the hands of the regent." Cao Mian lowered his head and glanced at himself.
He saw bloodstains and said: "This was not done by the Prince Regent's Palace."
Ruan Ting raised his eyebrows, but did not doubt the truth.
Cao Mian was already in the sky prison, so he didn't think there was any hope left. There was no need for Cao Mian to say good things about Xie Yan until now.
Cao Mian did not lie. The injuries on his body were not caused by anyone from the Regent's Palace, but by Bai Xu's handiwork.
Of course, it was inevitable for the people in the Regent's Palace to stand by and watch. After all, it was Xie Yan's promise to Bai Xu.
Unfortunately, Bai Xu didn't get what he wanted.
Thinking of the look on Bai Xu's face behind him when he stepped into the gate of Tianlao, Cao Mian actually felt a little happy in his heart.
He can't always follow through on everything, can he?
Ruan Ting walked back to his table, sat down, and asked, "It seems that the Marquis is unable to make a comeback."
Cao Mian glanced at him, walked to the bed in the corner and sat down.
"When you and Xue Ya betrayed me, didn't you already know the result now?" Cao Mian said.
Ruan Ting sighed lightly, picked up the pen on the table and wrote a few more words before putting down the pen again and said: "I think I am worthy of the Marquis. But I have to leave a way for myself and the Ruan family to survive.
.Besides, as the person who really betrayed Mr. Hou, Mr. Hou should not blame me."
"Xueya." Cao Mian said in a deep voice.
Ruan Ting raised his head, stared at Cao Mian and said, "Master Hou never told me that Shuo'er is still alive."
Cao Mian was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This is an internal matter of Luanyi Division. I can't possibly know everything."
Ruan Ting sneered, shook his head and said: "That's all, what's the use of talking about it now?"
Cao Mian said: "You are right."
Two people who had a close relationship but had not seen each other for many years seemed to have finished reminiscing in just a few words. The two of them stopped talking together, one of them lowered his head and continued to write scriptures silently, and the other sat on the bed and leaned against the wall with his eyes closed to meditate. , there was silence in the cell.
After returning to Shangyong, Xie Yan really started to be busy all day and disappeared. Luo Jun came into the palace and offered incense to the Empress Dowager, and after paying homage to her, nothing happened.
However, these days, the regent princess pacified Yingzhou, assisted in defending the city in Yanzhou, and the story of capturing Heruomuti alive came out from nowhere. Luo Junyao felt that the ladies who came to visit him every day looked at him with full eyes. It's a weird feeling.
The Regent's Palace was very lively today. Shen Hongxiu, Song Huan, Qin Ning, Zhao Sisi, Xu Xinyu and Xu Hui all came to the palace to celebrate Luo Junyao's return.
By the small lake in Jingyuan Garden, half of the lake lotus flowers are still blooming very well. In the pavilion by the lake, several girls are sitting in it, chatting and laughing.
In the corner of the pavilion, there is an ice cube carved into a rockery that is half a person's height, bringing a bit of coolness to the hot late summer.
"Shao Yao's trip is really exciting." Shen Hongxiu said enviously, "If I had known, I would have gone with Yao Yao."
Qin Ning said: "That's right, my mother also said that I will only cause trouble. My martial arts is still very good, you can tell me if I am right."
Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, A Ning is the most powerful."
"Then take me with you next time"
"..." It's better not to let Princess Changling die of fright.
Xu Xinyu held her cheek and said, "I won't cause any trouble to my little aunt. It's good enough to hear my little aunt's story."
Xu Hui also nodded and said, "Yeah, sister Shake Yao's story is so good. My sister-in-law said it was good."
"It would be great if it could be written into a script." Zhao Sisi said.
Song Yan smiled and said: "You are really thoughtful."
Zhao Sisi said: "But if we don't write, those storytellers can still tell. And those scholars, maybe their writing is not as good as ours."
Luo Junyao was thoughtful, and after a while he solemnly nodded and said: "What Sisi said makes sense. It's all about making money anyway. If we don't make money, others will make it." Now that the matter has been spread, of course he has to occupy the public opinion first. Highland. Who knows what those scholars wrote?
But...it's still a bit shameful to write your own story.
Zhao Sisi excitedly volunteered, "Shake, I'll write it!"
"Okay, Sisi's article is not bad." Luo Jun shook his head and said.
"Zhao Sisi blinked at her, "Then...can you tell me the details of those stories and whether there are any more thrilling experiences?"
"..." My feelings don't want to help me with some biographies, but I want to hear gossip. Luo Junyao was speechless.
Zhao Sisi also found that she was too excited, and quickly smiled reservedly, "Only with first-hand information can we write a more realistic and vivid story."
The two little girls, Xu Xinyu and Xu Hui, also opened their eyes wide and looked at Luo Junyao expectantly.
None of them have the ambition of Shen Hongxiu and Qin Ning to travel to the ends of the world with their swords, so they are satisfied just listening to the stories of their friends around them.
Luo Junyao said helplessly: "Let me think about it and tell you what I can tell you."
The three girls immediately cheered, very excited and looking forward to it.
