Ke'er gasped in pain and groped her way up from the ground. Through the dim light shining through the small square window above the high wall, she saw that her palms were bloody and bloody.
"Hey..." She took another deep breath.
Her right hand had been injured before when she rescued Father-in-law Dequan in a dry well. Although there was a magic pill to treat it, the wound had only just healed. Now that she was being tortured like this, the old injury recurred, plus the new injury, so this time
It hurts even more...
The stinging pain took hold of her breath one after another. Unbearably, she found a clean place to sit down, and then dug around in her arms with her uninjured left hand.
After a while, she finally took out a medicine jar from her pocket.
She bit open the stopper of the medicine bottle with her mouth, and carefully sprinkled the medicine powder on her injured hand, while joking to herself: "Fortunately, I am smart enough to carry this magic medicine with me at all times, otherwise I guess even if I have
Nine lives are not enough to bleed out like this one after another, but I still have to use it sparingly, this medicine is valuable..."
She kept chattering whatever came to her mind, trying to distract her attention by talking so that she might not feel so painful when applying the medicine.
But - "Hiss..."
It still hurts!!!
It's a hot burning feeling!!!
And... a person is alone in this dark world, applying medicine by himself...
An unprecedented vulnerability surged into her heart, and heat suddenly rose to her eyes uncontrollably. She whimpered aggrievedly - "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
As she applied the medicine to herself, tears fell down her cheeks.
I obviously don’t want to cry, but the annoying tears just want to fall by themselves. How cheap! Just as cheap as myself!
Thinking of that heartless man, she was so sad that she put down the medicine bottle angrily, buried her head in her knees, and began to cry suppressedly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Just like that, in the dark and messy cell, that petite figure was crying and trembling in the corner. It was so desolate that it was unbearable, but at this moment, there was no other figure.
It seemed that she was the only sad person left in the world.
…
As the sun sets in the west, the warmth of the sun is lost, the snow gradually emits a cold air, and the icy atmosphere gradually envelopes the entire palace.
Outside the huge imperial study hall, a short figure was running up and down, running straight towards the imperial study room.
Suddenly, Leng Yun hurriedly came from the other direction and almost ran into Eunuch Dequan head-on.
"Ah (ah)... Chief of Guard Leng (father-in-law)!" The two of them made a startled sound at the same time, and reflexively took a step back to avoid a real collision. It can be seen that the two people were anxious just now, so they behaved in a normal way.
They were all well-behaved and cautious, and they suddenly became like this.
Just after the two of them shouted in unison, Eunuch Dequan couldn't wait to speak first: "Chief Guard, I heard people below are rumoring that Miss Ke'er was captured by the king and put in a dungeon. Is this true?"
"My father-in-law, I am here just for this matter. Miss Ke'er broke into the temple without permission and was seen by the king, the elders and the ministers of Fulong Kingdom. This is really troublesome." Leng Yun also said.
Extremely anxious.
Hearing the whole story, Eunuch Dequan was so anxious that he walked back and forth for a few steps, murmuring incessantly - "This is really bad! Trespassing into the temple is a capital crime! And it also made the elders and Fulong
All the ministers and ministers of the country have seen that...even if the king wants to let Miss Ker go, it will be difficult to find a reason!"
Leng Yun nodded heavily with deep sympathy: "I also think that the king will be in trouble this time. Why did Miss Ke'er run into the temple? When I was originally ordered to follow Princess Yang Xi's palace, there was no trace of her.
I know that Miss Kerr is already in the temple, otherwise I would have taken Miss Kerr out first, but...how did Miss Kerr enter the temple without being discovered by anyone?"
Eunuch Dequan patted the handle of the whisk and suddenly said: "No wonder we can't find Miss Ke'er anywhere. It turns out that she ran to the temple. Alas... what should we do now?"
Suddenly, he remembered the purpose of coming this time, so he quickly invited: "Chief Guard, I want to go to the king to intercede. What do you think?"
Leng Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "I am also thinking the same thing. As long as the king promises not to pursue Miss Ke'er's crime of trespassing into the temple, and as long as the king is willing to let Miss Ke'er go, there will be a way to resolve it.
Miss Kerr's Disaster."
So, the two of them walked together towards the imperial study room as hurriedly as before.
Soon, they arrived at the imperial study room.
"King, I have something to ask for," Leng Yun asked respectfully.
"come in."
Ao Chenye's approval response quickly came from inside.
So, the door was pushed open and closed again.
Ao Chenye put down the book in his hand and frowned slightly as he watched them walk in anxiously.
Could it be that something disturbing happened again? Otherwise, why would the two of them look so anxious and confused?
Alas, things have been really eventful recently!
Secretly sighing helplessly in his heart, he lazily asked, somewhat unmotivated: "Why are you so anxious?"
Leng Yun and Eunuch Dequan looked at each other, their eyes conveying the message of mutual understanding.
Then, Duke Dequan said publicly: "Wang, this servant is here to intercede on behalf of Miss Ke'er. Please Wang Nian, since Miss Ke'er has been serving you for many days and is weak, please forgive her this time."
"Ke'er?" Ao Chenye frowned even more tightly. He couldn't understand why Dequan begged for Ke'er. When did the relationship between the two of them become so good?
Seeing Ao Chenye's frowning expression, Leng Yunsui quickly joined in and said, "Wang, Miss Ke'er has just arrived at the palace not long ago. She doesn't know many of the rules yet. As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. Can the king spare him?"
Her this time?"
Listening to the two of them pleading in the same attitude, Ao Chenye's dark eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
How come even Leng Yun has such a good relationship with Ke'er?
Did he, the king, neglect his concubines so much that he didn't even notice that his two closest right-hand men were so close to Ke'er?
Or maybe Ke'er's methods are so powerful that even the people around him can be submissive. Even her capital crime of breaking into the temple without permission can make them risk their lives to plead for mercy.
You must know that if you intercede for a death row prisoner, you may be treated as an accomplice and sentenced to the same crime if you are not careful.
However, given their seniority, they must have known the danger of this plea, but they still came boldly.
Ao Chenye couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Ke'er is really that good. Is it worth risking the charge of being an accomplice to plead for her?" He narrowed his black eyes and looked deeply at their expressions.
Hopefully, they would stop here, because he would never allow it, and regardless of Ke'er's trespassing into the temple, her mere crime of stealing the purple spirit bracelet would be enough to make her die a thousand times.
Hearing Ao Chenye speak like this, the two of them froze for a moment, then looked at each other again, and then they all knelt down and continued to request sincerely, "I, my subordinates, are willing to risk their lives to beg you!"
"You..." Ao Chenye was stunned. He didn't expect that they would do this so neatly and at the same time.
"How much benefit has Ke'er given you? To make you so loyal and willing to risk your lives for her? Are you two going to betray me if I really want to punish her to death?" Ao Chen Ye's face turned ugly and he stared at them, his tone slightly lowered.
Hearing this, they kowtowed even more in panic: "My subordinates (old slaves) don't dare!"
Ao Chenye's expression softened slightly: "Humph! Even you guys don't have the guts!"
Then, he didn't want to hear more about Ke'er, and he didn't want to be angry with his subordinates for her anymore, so he waved his hand and ordered forcefully: "Okay, you all go down first, I will take care of this matter." Discuss the matter with the elders and stop being troublesome!"
"But..." Eunuch Dequan couldn't help but want to continue to plead.
"Hmm?!" Ao Chenye snorted coldly, and his majesty stopped whatever Eunuch Dequan wanted to say.
In desperation, Eunuch Dequan had no choice but to temporarily suppress the anxiety in his heart.
On this side, Leng Yun had no choice but to change the subject temporarily and looked at Ao Chenye worriedly: "Wang, since you have captured Princess Yang Xi, why not force her to come up with the antidote to the heart-eating grass poison as soon as possible?"
"Don't worry, Brother Wang has already detoxified this king. Please step back." Ao Chenye once again issued an eviction order because he still had many things to deal with tonight. First, the purple gold bracelet actually counterattacked him. It was enough to confuse him and give him a headache.
Leng Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the toxin in his body had been removed. On the contrary, Eunuch Dequan's face became a little uncomfortable when he heard that Ao Chenxiao had detoxified him.
Did His Highness relieve the king from the controlled poison? His Highness and Princess Yang Xi...
Seeing that Dequan seemed to have something to say, Leng Yun thought that he was going to continue to plead for Ke'er, so he secretly pulled his sleeve and stopped him with his eyes.
Seeing Leng Yun's hint, Dequan finally said nothing and could only reluctantly kowtow and retreat.
"Subordinate (old slave), please retire." In the end, the two of them could only look at each other helplessly and secretly anxiously. It seemed that they could no longer plead for Miss Kerr tonight, so they had to retreat silently.
…
Time passed slowly, and the night gradually enveloped the earth, and everything became quiet in this cold night.
In the dark dungeon, Ke'er was shivering from the cold, and her breath was filled with cold mist.
"It's so cold! You cruel, stinky man, you deliberately let me freeze to death here, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy..." She trembled her lips and kept cursing, and the tears that she had just stopped couldn't help but fall again.
Bai Ke'er, don't cry!
She warned herself sternly, but the more she warned, the harder her tears fell.
Just as she was crying, a bright light suddenly flashed in. In the darkness, this inconspicuous light gradually transformed into a slender figure.
