Author: Xi Xing

Chapter 216: Trapped and Defensive

"I heard you had a good sleep last night?"

In the cell, Huo Lian asked.

Qixing was sitting on the bed. Even though she was tied up, she refused to lie down again at dawn.

She didn't answer and asked: "What do you want to do by arresting me?"

Huo Lian glanced at her: "Imprisonment." Then she said, "If you are not a prisoner, prisoners don't get this treatment. They can just beheaded."

Qixing said: "I know he is not a prisoner. If he is a prisoner, I will always have thousands of ways to prevent you from catching him in the Imperial City."

Huo Lian smiled: "So, I want to thank you for showing mercy to the imperial city?"

Thanks to her for falling into the water as soon as he pushed her. Thanks to her for not resisting desperately when he fell into the water and grabbed her. She didn't even resist.

Qixing sighed softly: "No need to thank you, you recognized me, and you made such a big fuss, my original plan won't work either."

If a fight breaks out, there will be no way out and nothing can be done in the future.

She said and looked at Huo Lian: "Thank you very much for not revealing my identity."

"You're welcome." Huo Lian said lightly, "It's easy to reveal your identity, but it will cause me too much trouble."

He looked at the seven stars.

"Just arrest you and let everything go back to the beginning."

Qixing sat on her back with her hands and feet tied up by ropes. It was not comfortable to sit like this, but there was no pain on her face. She even smiled after hearing Huo Lian's words.

"How is it possible to go back to the beginning of the trip?" she said, "I have done so many things in the past two years. Even if you kill me, things will not go back to the beginning. We, the Momen, will definitely clear our grievances."

Huo Lian looked at her, her eyes darkened slightly.

"You said this before." He said, "Why did you tell your Mo family, I don't care, you told me, I just pretended not to hear you, but you were so crazy that you rushed to the emperor to say it."

It was really crazy. He took a step forward and looked at the woman who was tightly bound.

"I have already said that the prince died in your hands, and you were invited by the King of Jin. The Mo family cannot wash away the guilt of this evil incident!"

Qixing's face remained calm, but his voice was slightly raised: "We were invited by King Jin, not to rebel against him. I also have enough evidence to make the emperor believe what I said. If you don't believe me, you don't know Mo

It’s a family matter, but what about your adoptive father? Is it true that he came to Jin to rebel against the king of Jin? Why can’t you tell the emperor the truth? Don’t you want to clear your adoptive father’s grievances? "

She looked at Huo Lian's words.

"Is it because you can't bear to part with all the credit you got from killing your adoptive father?"

Huo Lian grabbed her, but instead of getting angry, she smiled.

"You asked me this last time, and you just want to hear my answer, right?" He said, nodding, "Okay, let me tell you, my adoptive father colluded with King Jin, and my adoptive father is guilty.

It is unforgivable and deserves death."

Qixing looked at him and said nothing for a while.

"Say, aren't you going to say it? Aren't you going to ask?" Huo Lian said, looking into Qixing's eyes and letting out a sneer, "You can see my sincerity and I am telling the truth, so I have nothing to say."

?"

He let go of his hand, stood up straight, and looked down at Qixing sitting on the bed.

"Whatever you do outside, and how you do it with your Mo family, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't care."

"But you insist on bringing things to light in front of the emperor, and you have to dig up the past again, and let everyone be dragged out again, and ignite the emperor's anger that has just been extinguished but has not been forgotten. This has something to do with me."

"I won't kill you. Your father asked me to take care of you back then and told you to live well."

"Then you can live well here."

After saying that, he turned around and said something back.

"You were able to break the iron chain last time because you were so powerful and because I was unprepared. This time it won't be that easy."

"I will personally guard you."

He strode outside and disappeared from sight in an instant.

Qixing sat motionless on the bed.

Four women came in from outside soon, two carrying food boxes, and two set a table on the bed.

Qiuniang looked at her face and said softly: "Miss, no matter what, you have to eat even a mouthful of rice."

When Qixing heard this, his eyes turned and he looked at her and asked, "Are we still not allowed to eat? Only one bite?"

These words made Qiuniang who asked the question stunned.

What's the meaning?

Literally?

"No, miss, if you want to eat, you can take a few bites." Dong Niang said tentatively.

Qixing hummed and motioned to them: "Let's set out the food."

The four women looked at each other again. This young lady's reaction was really completely different from the first young lady. She was obviously tied up more severely than the prisoner, and the guards around her were like iron barrels, but she could still be so calm.

She looks like an unconscious dead person, but she acts like an eager living person.





Liang Siwan stretched and sat up from the bed, looking at the room filled with the setting sun.

Another day has passed and another night has arrived. What should we do today?

The lanterns in the yard haven't been removed yet. It's cold in winter and there are no flowers to tear up, so why not tear up the lanterns?

As soon as she walked outside, she suddenly saw a man sitting in front of the table drinking tea, or holding a tea cup and seeming to be drinking tea. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on him. Not only did he not illuminate him, but he was swallowed up instantly and became

Into a black shadow.

He appeared quietly, and Liang Siwan was used to it.

"Why are you back so early today?" she asked with a yawn, calling the maid outside the door, "Then let's eat early."

Huo Lian turned around and looked at her and said, "I will let you live."

Liang Siwan was slightly startled by these incomprehensible words, and the next moment her eyes widened, and joy burst out on her face. She rushed over and grabbed Huo Lian, looked up at him, and let out a laugh.

"Are you going to die?" she asked, "If you die, I won't be able to live. We are all going to die, right?"

Huo Lian looked at her and shook her head: "No, you won't die, and I won't die either. We will all live."

Liang Siwan looked at him angrily: "Don't lie to me. Tell me the truth. Don't hide such a good thing from me. Tell me and we will be happy together."

Although the maids who came in with meals from outside the door were used to the strange relationship between the two people, they still couldn't help but lower their heads and tremble slightly when they heard these words.

Liang Siwan saw them greeting them hurriedly and cheerfully: "Quick, set the food." Then she asked, "What's delicious today? Why is there so little? Go make some good food and bring it over, and get some wine. How can we eat without wine?"

Woolen cloth."

She said shaking Huo Lian's hand.

"Bazi, since there is good news today, let me drink some wine, not the tasteless fake wine, but the real wine."

Although it is rumored that Huo Lian cherishes her and wants the stars but not the moon, in fact she still has many restrictions, such as not drinking alcohol.

He was afraid that she would become addicted to alcohol, afraid that she would die of drunkenness, or that she would go crazy.

Huo Lian watched the maids placing the food, and another maid stood aside waiting for his permission.

"Bring some more food." He said, gently pulling Siwan Liang's hand away and shaking it, "Bring some more fruit wine."

Liang Siwan screamed: "It's fruit wine again! I want to drink real wine!"

But what she said was useless. The maid had already responded and turned around to get the fruit wine, and Huo Lian also walked out.

"You should have a good meal." He said, "I won't be back tonight."

…..

…..

"Miss Wanwan, do you want to add some food here?"

In the kitchen, several cooks were busy. When they heard the maid's message, they immediately became even busier.

"Has the one over there been sent over?"

"Is there more food here? Are there more food over there?"

"Tim, it has to be the same. Didn't I say there that the food can't just be one bite, it has to be delicious, tasty and full of variety."

Listening to the words of the cooks, the maid who had not left with the fruit wine was very puzzled. She couldn't help but follow the rule of talking less in this house and asked: "Where is that over there? Who else is preparing food for me?"

"

This is the kitchen of Huo Lian's inner house, which only serves the host and hostess of the Huo family.

Hearing the maid's question, the cooks' voices and movements stopped.

"Just, there are prisoners in need in the cell." A cook said after hesitation.

The maid said, she was not much of an inquisitive person. The less she knew in the Huo family's inner house, the safer she was. Not to mention the matters in the cell in front, which were untouchable. She turned around and left with the fruit wine in her arms.

The cooks breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am telling the truth and I am not lying." The cook said, "That lady lives in a cell, so she is naturally a prisoner."

However, Miss Wanwan once lived in a prison cell, just like a prisoner, until she obeyed and was moved to the inner chamber by the governor.

That lady will do the same, right?

"Definitely." Another cook whispered, "Those four old women in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter came again. Miss Wanwan was conquered by them back then."

Which woman can't surrender to them?

I just don’t know what will happen to Miss Wanwan after the young lady surrenders and obeys the governor and is moved to the inner house?

Should he continue to stay in the inner house, or be...

The cooks looked at each other again and saw their sympathy.

"Let's add another flower to Miss Wanwan to make her rich and prosperous." A cook said, coughing slightly, "This will waste time, so I won't add another flower there."

Just as the other cooks were about to nod, a cook hurried in to deliver food to the cell.

"Tianye." She pressed her chest and said with joy, "The governor went over there to have dinner with me."

Surprisingly... the cooks looked at each other again, and the previous cook managed an awkward smile.

"There are actually two things you can do to make flowers bloom and bring wealth." She said, "Which one of you can help me?"
