Yueniang nodded and patted Su Zhen's hand, "Seeing that you have returned safely, I feel relieved."
Pulling out the red rope hanging around her neck, she pulled out a golden disc along with it, and stuffed it into Su Zhen's hand. She lowered her eyes to cover up her sadness and pain, "It has been with me for many years, you can keep it as my own." Think about it."
Su Zhen's thumb rubbed the lines on the disc, and her heart suddenly panicked.
"Sister Yueniang, you are only going away for a few days, why do you act like you are not coming back?" Mo Shen said angrily.
"Come back, with a little girl like you here, how can my sister not be willing to come back?"
Yueniang met Shang Mo Shen's worried gaze, raised her hand to brush her hair, smiled lovingly, "See you later."
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared directly into the room.
"Sir, Sister Yueniang seems to be acting strangely. Will she find a husband and not come back?"
Mo Shen, who is ignorant of worldly affairs, is not stupid, but he still does not understand the ways of the world.
"Do you think she is willing to leave us?"
"No way!"
"That's it, okay, stop thinking about it."
"oh!"
Su Zhen turned her eyes inadvertently and happened to meet Mo Sheng's gaze. They both saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.
...
After Su Zhen said goodbye to her brother and sister Mo Sheng, she quietly went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice alone. Along the way, she saw many luxurious carriages heading towards the palace.
I heard from Mo Sheng that he escaped from Huanyu Mountain with Mo Shen and He Lan that day, but He Lan heard that Shang Yici and Shang Yuchen had taken people up the mountain one after another, and slipped back quietly while Mo Sheng was unaware. Mountain.
However, when He Lan arrived, it was too late. All officers and soldiers had evacuated, including the entire village. Shang Jingyao, Su Zhen and all the villagers had disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.
After that, He Lan's whereabouts were unknown, and Mo Sheng was so busy with the things Su Zhen told him that he completely forgot about him.
...
Prison Department of Punishment.
It may have been a bad year recently, so Su Zhen visited the jails of various yamen every now and then.
The jailer who was in charge of guarding the prison was very drunk. Su Zhen walked into the dark and damp prison door casually as if she were visiting her own backyard.
One after another, flowing butterflies flew out of her sleeves, and anyone who came into contact with them was stunned by them.
Su Zhen lowered her head and looked at the parchment map in her hand. After writing down the road, she raised it up and a flame burst out, burning the map to ashes.
Stepping on the wet prison floor, he nonchalantly crossed over the fallen jailer and arrived at the cell where He Lan was being held.
There are many people locked up with him. Judging by their appearance, they should not be good people. However, whether they are unjust or not has nothing to do with the purpose of Su Zhen's trip.
"Brother He, Brother He, wake up."
He Lan was sleeping dazedly. He slowly opened his eyes after hearing Su Zhen's voice. He yawned sleepily, but saw that everyone in the cell had fallen into a deep sleep. If it weren't for their chests still rising and falling. , otherwise he would really feel that those people were dead.
"Brother Li? Uncle Ding! What's wrong with you?"
Shaking their bodies vigorously, there was no response.
"Brother He, they are fine, they were just stunned by me."
He Lan looked outside the cell door in surprise and saw the boy in white with a smile on his face and standing with his hands behind his hands. They were obviously both in this dirty prison, but there was a completely different gap across the cell door. .
"Su Shaoqing? Are you okay? Why are you here?"
Su Zhen looked at him with a narrow look on her face, "I have seen so many people trying every possible means to escape from prison. It is unheard of for Su to find someone like Brother He who comes here looking for punishment."
"What do Su Shaoqing mean by these words?" He Lan's originally relaxed brows suddenly frowned.
"Brother He, I dare not call him a smart person, but he is not stupid. Although we have only met a few times, we also know that Brother He is not a reckless person. You deliberately entered the city wearing the same clothes as me, and even deliberately
Isn't it just to make the officers and soldiers angry so that they can put you in jail?"
"Su Shaoqing, it turns out you were there at that time. You should have a clear mind. Now I am alone. I have angered the officers and soldiers. Even if I am thrown into prison, no one will come to save me."
"Oh? In that case, why did you come in?"
"..." He Lan didn't respond. After a long silence, he asked, "Where is Xian'er?"
"Xian'er? Brother He, please remember clearly that Yue Xian'er died thirteen years ago. Now the only one alive in the world is Shang Jingyao. She has returned to the palace alive. But, Brother He, you
But you have to keep your mouth shut, I can't save her a second time."
"Yes, I know, thank you."
"Brother He is so nervous. Could it be that he really loves her?"
He Lan was stunned, because Su Zhen couldn't see his expression clearly due to the cell railing.
"I regard Xian'er as my biological sister. The relationship between me and her is nothing more than sympathy and sympathy for each other."
Sympathetic?
"It seems...Brother He must have a lot of secrets hidden in his body. Is it possible that you have also been bewitched by that demon?"
No wonder Su Zhen thinks too much, He Lan is the only person in the illusion created by Yue Xianer and Shang Jingyao who is neither a paper person nor a porcelain doll clone.
"Bewitching? I don't know. However, the court is now looking for you everywhere. You came back alone. Could it be that you have already thought of a way to save yourself?"
He Lan did not ask Su Zhen to rescue him, which made it clear that there was another reason for taking the initiative to go to jail.
Su Zhen tacitly understood this and followed his words and replied, "Brother He, do you really think that I did not return to Kyoto after being rescued by Xiao Chuhong because I was afraid of death?"
"Shaoqing is certainly not someone who is afraid of death."
"Some people want me to die, and some people want to use my hand to let others die. As long as my existence is at the balance point of their power struggle, I will never die."
Su Zhen's voice was low and hoarse, and her tone was ambiguous. Her dark and unclear eyes fell into He Lan's eyes, and she suddenly felt chilled.
"What's going on? Everyone is fainted?"
"Get up! You're useless! Why don't you get up quickly!"
"Come on! Come on! Come on! Someone is robbing the prison!"
Suddenly, fierce shouting came from outside, and within a moment, many footsteps came one after another.
Su Zhen curled her lips and said, "Brother He, I'll take my leave first. If something happens to you in the future, you can come to Tai Tu's Mansion to find me. Our previous agreement at Huanyu Mountain will always be fulfilled."
"Okay! I'll stay here to take care of my external affairs, and I'll make sure to make the appointment in time."
It was clear that Su Zhen was still in trouble, but He Lan believed in her for no reason.
Su Zhen nodded in response, her figure suddenly flashed and disappeared outside the prison door.
He Lan lay back in the corner again, his mind filled with the image of the woman in blue lowering her head and smiling coquettishly.
Xian'er...
Hearing the sound of a large number of footsteps approaching, he quietly opened his eyes a crack and saw many officers and soldiers breaking into the prison, carrying buckets of water in wooden buckets, and pouring it on the prisoners through the prison door.
.
The cold water was poured on their faces, but they still showed no signs of waking up. This chapter has been completed!
