There was a cold wind blowing in my face, and everything around me was extremely quiet.
Jiang Huan couldn't hear anything. She could only hear her own thumping heartbeat.
It was obviously a question that could be easily asked, but Jiang Huan felt as if all his energy had been spent.
I want to hear Chen Ruyi say it, but I am afraid that Chen Ruyi will say it.
Jiang Huan was constantly struggling in his heart. This contradiction squeezed him so much that Jiang Huan almost couldn't breathe due to the pressure.
She looked at Chen Ruyi quietly, and Chen Ruyi also looked at her.
Although neither of them spoke, the feelings flowed silently, passing through the two of them, throwing out all their unspeakable feelings.
Jiang Huan saw him smiling, but compared to his usual smile and gentle expression towards him, Chen Ruyi looked a little self-deprecating and helpless.
The side of Chen Ruyi that didn't want to be discovered by Jiang Huan was still exposed in front of Jiang Huan in the end.
The naked and extremely pure emotions were displayed in front of Jiang Huan, making it difficult for Chen Ruyi to escape.
In fact, Chen Ruyi could have once again found an excuse or a pretext to fool Jiang Huan's questioning.
But this time, he didn't.
"Do you want to take a look?" Chen Ruyi said slowly, "take a look at my secret room."
This is the first time Jiang Huan has stepped into Chen Ruyi's secret territory.
She had heard before that there was an underground secret room in the prince's residence specially used to punish criminals.
It's just that only the Crown Prince and Master Qiu can step into this secret room. Others don't even know where the entrance is, not to mention stepping into it.
Jiang Huan followed Chen Ruyi all the way to an abandoned courtyard in the Prince's Mansion. Jiang Huan had been to this courtyard once before, but it was overgrown with grass and there was no life at all.
The servants told Jiang Huan that this was the courtyard where a queen who came from the palace originally lived.
However, the empress later contracted dysentery and was involved in a corruption case that shocked the world. Not only did she end up lying ill on her bed, but she also chose to hang herself while being despised by thousands of people.
Since then, this courtyard has become an ominous place, and the prince has not sent anyone to clean it up. It has been left abandoned and dilapidated, looking more like a dilapidated house in the wilderness that has not been inhabited for a long time.
"The servants have never dared to come here. They say this place is haunted by the ghosts of evil spirits and will bring misery to people." Chen Ruyi murmured.
He led Jiang Huan inside step by step. There was a painting hanging at the end of the house.
The hanging painting was extremely huge, hanging down from the eaves and landing on the floor.
It looked like no one had been to this room for a long time, and the painting was covered with spider webs. These dense webs grew together, completely covering up the original appearance of the painting.
Jiang Huan looked carefully to identify it, but could only vaguely see that the painting seemed to be a painting of a beautiful woman.
It's just that the rest cannot be seen clearly at all.
Chen Ruyi pressed a wooden brick on the wall with familiarity. The moment the wooden brick was pushed in, the hanging painting slowly rolled up.
Behind the hanging painting, there is an iron door with a nine-square wooden lock.
As Chen Ruyi turned his fingers, the iron door creaked, and then Chen Ruyi slowly pushed it open.
A path suddenly appeared behind the door, with two rows of luminous pearls hanging on both sides of the path.
Originally, Jiang Huan thought that the place where criminals were punished would be cold and dark, so dark that they could not see their fingers.
But here it is bright and bright, extremely dazzling, even more dazzling than the ordinary daylight.
Jiang Huan couldn't help but stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, but Chen Ruyi did not urge her. He only waited for Jiang Huan's eyes to adapt to the light before continuing to lead her down.
This path leads all the way down, and there is another small door below.
However, this small door was a fence door. When Jiang Huan was about to peek in, he saw a bloody hand suddenly grabbing towards him.
If Jiang Huan hadn't dodged in time, his face would have been scratched by this hand.
The nails on this hand have not been trimmed for a long time, are covered with dirt, and are long and bent.
Jiang Huan looked along the hand and saw that unlike the bright outside, it was completely dark behind the fence door. It was impossible to see what was behind the hand.
But Chen Ruyi whispered, "Presumptuous."
As soon as he heard Chen Ruyi's voice, his hand immediately curled back, not daring to stretch it out anymore.
Jiang Huan never thought that Chen Ruyi's voice could be so useful.
She quietly glanced at Chen Ruyi. He had lost his usual gentle expression, leaving only ruthlessness and coldness.
Jiang Huan was willing to believe that he was a murderous tyrant.
"Where are the things?" Chen Ruyi ignored Jiang Huan's gaze and continued.
The dirty hand carefully stretched out again, but this time, he was very cautious, only two curved nails were exposed, and a key was handed out.
Chen Ruyi took the key and then continued walking to another fork in the road.
After completely leaving the door, Jiang Huan mustered up the courage and asked in a low voice, "What is that?"
Hidden outside that door seems to be a savage.
But if he was a real savage, how could he understand Chen Ruyi's code words?
Chen Ruyi kept walking, still walking in, but she said softly, "People who are guilty. Everyone imprisoned here is a person who claims to be able to escape the laws of Chen State. They use
Money and power have settled the law, thinking that they can escape sin. What I want to do is to let them suffer the consequences of their own mistakes and understand that everything they do is not in vain."
Chen Ruyi's voice was extremely cold, without any emotion.
Jiang Huan couldn't tell what he was thinking, but felt that everything seemed to be extremely strange.
Chen Ruyi was unfamiliar, and so was this secret room.
"This place is divided into three classes. Those who have committed minor crimes are locked in the first dungeon like the person you just saw, and will never see the light of day. And those who have committed second-class crimes are behind this door.
."
As soon as Chen Ruyi finished speaking, the hand that was going to open the door suddenly stopped.
His stern eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Huan. Even though he said nothing, Jiang Huan understood that he was waiting for him to speak for confirmation.
Make sure you really want to go behind this door.
Jiang Huan took a deep breath and said seriously, "President Qiu Xingjian said that we are people on the road, and we should support each other in the future. I have never thought about it before, but I am here today just to confirm this point."
