Every corner of the dimly lit dungeon exuded an unpleasant damp smell. In the corner of the cell, a woman with ragged clothes and fluffy hair curled up. Her eyes were dull and her expression was dazed. The Queen Mother Chu stood by the cell door with a look of distress on her face. She is your biological sister after all." After looking at it for a while, Empress Dowager Chu couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and walked to Nangong Ling's side and said reproachfully.
Nangong Ling glanced at Nangong Ning with a disdainful look, and said with a coldness that penetrated the corners of her mouth: "When did you become so kind-hearted, Queen Mother? I remember that Queen Mother has never been merciful in my memory. Now she not only let go of your enemies." Even Concubine Yun was rescued. It was all caused by her and you actually begged for mercy for her."
Nangong Ling's words hit the point. Empress Dowager Chu was about to speak but stopped, saying nothing more. She turned around and looked at Nangong Ning, who was curled up in a ball. The expression on her face was extremely complicated. She sighed softly and left the dungeon with the help of her personal maid.[
Nangong Ling looked at the departing back of Queen Mother Chu and sneered, then glared ferociously and angrily at Nangong Ning in the dungeon and shouted in a cold voice: "Now it doesn't matter whether you confess or not, it doesn't matter whether you are pretending to be crazy or stupid, or it's true, I can't do this. If I let you die so easily, I will slowly torture you so that you will remember the consequences of offending me for the rest of your life."
Nangong Ning's eyes were still dull and her expression was dazed, but if you look closely, you can find that her body is constantly shivering.
The carriage drove slowly down the street. The coachman followed Shui Lianyue's instructions and found an ordinary inn. As soon as the carriage stopped, he saw the inn's cotton curtain opened and a weak figure walking out, nudging the waiter. Unexpectedly, the weak figure came out. My feet slipped and I accidentally fell into the snow, followed by the waiter's curse.
"You still want to stay in a hotel when you don't have money. You have the guts to teach me a lesson and say that I have a vicious heart. What kind of nonsense are you talking about? If you don't know the words, just go home and ask your mother to hire a teacher for you." Study hard and study hard." After scolding the waiter at the Yitong store, he didn't seem to want to stop. He rolled up his sleeves and continued to curse, attracting many onlookers. However, the weak figure was lying motionless in the snow with his head hanging very low, allowing the waiter to do nothing. Stop cursing
"You don't even want to know my name, but you still dare to provoke me. You're so tired of living. Why don't you leave? Maybe you still want to wait for me to help you up in person." As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter raised his foot and kicked him there. The man's chest must have been kicked over with all his strength. He immediately covered his chest and struggled to get up, but he couldn't.
Shui Lianyue looked at this scene from the carriage and slightly raised her eyebrows. A flash of disdain flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that the waiter of a mere inn actually had a name. This was obviously a black shop, so he couldn't live there. But then she Her eyes fell on the person lying in the snow, and her careful observation aroused her curiosity.
The man was tall and slender, but he was wearing such a thin white shirt in such an icy and snowy environment. His white shirt was stained with snow. A pair of hands as white as jade supported his body and he wanted to stand up. His head was covered with something he didn't know where to find. The sack only showed a pair of eyes and could not see his face. Suddenly he turned around and his eyes met. Shui Lianyue made a decision, that is to save him.
It was a pair of eyes that could not be clearer. Even after being treated so inhumanly, there was no emotion mixed in them. They were as calm as water and as calm as waves. The edges of the black pupils faintly revealed a faint cyan, and they were wrapped in white eyeballs. elf eyes
Just when the waiter was about to kick him, a coachman walked over and stopped him, took out a piece of silver and said, "My master wants to let him go."
The waiter in the shop was stunned for a moment as he stared at the white ingot. His face was filled with joy and laughter. Just as he was about to speak, the coachman had already helped the person on the ground into the carriage. Under the gaze of the onlookers, the wheels were turning slowly. Leave slowly
"Don't be afraid. I just came to drink some water after encountering an injustice." It was rare that Shui Lianyue could speak softly and even pour water and get snacks for him. Nangong Yu looked at Shui Lianyue with a gloomy face and couldn't help but murmur this in his heart. Damn woman, does she really think she is the savior? She spent all her money to save this person. What should they do at night? Did she have a brain injury or was she squeezed by a car?
In the blink of an eye, he stared at the rescued person again. Under his keen observation, he didn't notice anything unusual about him. There was no movement around him, except for a slight gasp.
"Thank you so much, Heroine, for coming to the rescue." The man spoke very carefully. His voice was soft, but it had a clean and refreshing feeling. It was not as enchanting as Leng Liuyun, not as sexy and strong as Nangong Yu, but it had a unique and amiable feeling. feeling
Shui Lianyue smiled faintly and handed over the teacup and said: "You're welcome, I'll give you a ride wherever you want to go."
The man took the teacup and when he heard Shui Lianyue's words, he just shook his head and whispered: "No need, just put me down in front."
"good"
Sure enough, the carriage stopped in front of another inn. The man said thank you and got out of the carriage. Shui Lianyue looked at his fleeing back from the carriage. She almost fell to the ground several times but still trotted hard. Her instinct was a little funny. After saving him, why does it feel like she is trying to harm him?
"Humph, if you save me, I don't think you need to stay in this inn anymore." Nangong Yu opened the car and said coldly before closing the car again.
Shui Lianyue curled up her lips with a cunning smile, took out a crystal clear jade pendant and threw it to the coachman, raising her eyebrows lightly and whispering: "Pawn it to exchange for some money and find an inn." [
The coachman took the jade pendant without delay and hurried away to find a pawnshop.
I moved to another inn, and the manager and waiter were much kinder than the ones I met before.
"Where did you get the money to stay in the inn?" Nangong Yu kept asking Shui Lianyue with a sullen face from the moment he entered the guest room. A few perfunctory words could not dispel his doubts.
It wasn't until after dinner that Shui Lianyue couldn't bear it any longer and suddenly shouted in a cold voice: "I said if you're bothered, you can live here if you want. If you don't, you can go sleep on the street."
Nangong Yu smiled disdainfully and said, "I didn't expect you to be a sneaky woman who behaved so inappropriately. Aunt Yun was so blind that she chose such a woman to be my princess. It's really embarrassing."
"When did I steal money? What are you talking about? Nangong Yu, I told you to marry you. I was blind. I was dragged down by you like this. Don't think that if I don't say anything along the way, I will let you go." Once your poison is cured and we meet again on our way back to the bridge, I will never be as gentleman to you as I am now." Shui Lianyue slammed the table and glared at Nangong Yu in anger and shouted.
Nangong Yu wanted to say something. His hand suddenly touched his waist and found that it was empty. He was stunned and lowered his head to see that the jade pendant was gone. He suddenly looked at Shui Lianyue and asked, "Where is my king's jade pendant?"
Shui Lianyue didn't expect to be discovered by him so soon. She was speechless and said: "How did I know about your jade pendant?"
Seeing this, Nangong Yu became even more convinced that the missing jade pendant was related to Shui Lianyue. He pointed at Shui Lianyue and frowned, "Tell me if it was you who took my king's jade pendant."
"You lost your jade pendant if you didn't take care of it yourself. Why are you asking me? How could I know?" Shui Lianyue's words flickered when she spoke. Nangong Yu heard it and immediately heard it. His eyes were red and dark, and the veins on his forehead were popping out. If his eyes could do it, Shui Lianyue had already died a hundred and eighty thousand times. He clenched his fists tightly and a bloodthirsty murderous intent appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and said: "If you really take it, please give it to me intact." If you come out, I will spare you for once. If you cannot come out, I will definitely kill you as a memorial."
The two always quarreled along the way, but Shui Lianyue had never seen Nangong Yu show such a ferocious and bloodthirsty expression. This time it seemed that she really offended him. Although she was not afraid of Nangong Yu, after all, she ignored him first and it was not right to be a swindler. Her style was submissive and shameless, so she had to bite the bullet and reply: "I've already told you what does losing your jade pendant have to do with me?"
"That is the only thing that the mother-in-law left for me. It is more valuable than my life. You also know that your mother's death is a heavy blow to you. What about me?" At this time, Nangong Yu almost roared as he spoke to the entire inn. You can probably hear the footsteps gradually coming up the stairs. Without even thinking about it, you know that it will definitely attract several onlookers.
Shui Lianyue was slightly startled when she heard this, and then she understood why Nangong Yu was suddenly furious. She twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "But how can you stay in an inn if you don't take off the jade pendant?"
"What?" Nangong Yu was immediately shocked. "You actually pawned the only thing that the queen mother and concubine left to me, and I will kill you." As he spoke, Nangong Yu moved his wheelchair and came towards Shui Lianyue with clapping hands.
"Hey, calm down. I'll get it back for you right away. Are you going crazy like a mad dog? Do you want to arouse suspicion?" Shui Lianyue hid while trying to persuade Nangong Yu, but he didn't know that he had already been overwhelmed by anger. Yue said to bring it back to him, then she stopped and glared angrily at Shui Lianyue, gritting her teeth and saying, "It's okay if the jade pendant is completely damaged. If there is any damage, I will pay for it with your life."
