Chen Ruyi's secret room was divided into three floors. The one where Jiang Huan was shocked at first was locked up, which was the floor closest to the ground and the only floor that could touch the light.
Although the light was an illusion created by Chen Ruyi, it was already extremely precious to them.
Jiang Huan followed Chen Ruyi as she walked inside step by step, following a narrow path until she reached the dark and dank place.
There, Jiang Huan saw the people imprisoned in the second dungeon.
It's no longer appropriate to call them human beings. It's probably because they have been imprisoned for so long that they no longer look like human beings.
The moment they saw someone coming, they gathered in front of the fence gate.
All of them looked extremely miserable, their eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and they had lost even the most basic ability to speak, and could only utter a few syllables incoherently.
And they all refer to things like "hungry" and "eating".
It seems that the only thing left in their eyes is the desire to eat, and the coming of people also symbolizes that they can eat. As for other things, they are no longer aware of it.
Jiang Huan frowned slightly, as if he couldn't accept the reason why these people were kept here like livestock.
Chen Ruyi picked up the swill bucket on the side and dumped the food residue inside into the fence. They were like hungry tigers pounced on food, one after another towards the ground covered with residue.
Moreover, none of them can see the dignity and face of human beings at all. All they have are primitive desires that are no different from beasts.
That desire engulfed Jiang Huan until she was torn into pieces and nothing was left.
Jiang Huan even felt that if what was thrown in was not swill but a corpse, they would not care at all and would only rush up to tear it up and devour it.
Jiang Huan couldn't help but shrink his shoulders, feeling uncomfortable all over.
"The people imprisoned here are some murderers. Most of them were the children of powerful people before. They committed capital crimes but used various methods to escape." Chen Ruyi said lightly, he frowned slightly, his eyebrows were full of expressions.
A look of contempt and disgust towards these prisoners.
"The reason why Chen State is becoming more and more corrupt is probably due to these people. If they hadn't made Chen State's government a mess, how could Chen State have reached this point." Chen Ruyi's anger was clearly visible, and even
Jiang Huan was also a little frightened.
Chen Ruyi looks so strange with this appearance. The stranger named Jiang Huan is almost unrecognizable.
But Chen Ruyi ignored Jiang Huan's gaze. He stretched out his hand forward and slowly handed over a key.
This key leads to the third level dungeon.
"The people in this last level of dungeon are those who have no identity in this world." Chen Ruyi said slowly.
Jiang Huan was confused and looked a little confused.
Although Chen Ruyi never looked back, she seemed to have a pair of eyes behind her back that could spy on Jiang Huan's every move.
"They are either members of the royal family, or people whose names the common people dare not mention at all. Therefore, they are people without status in Chen State." Chen Ruyi reached out to unlock the door, only to see that there was no fence behind the door.
, but a small room with no light at all.
This small room is surrounded by dead walls on all sides. Let alone sunlight, there is no light from a candle.
Only endless darkness enveloped this place, and there was silence without a single sound.
Chen Ruyi knocked on the wall, only to hear a rustling sound, and then an invisible man walked toward the two of them with disheveled hair.
He staggered step by step, and only when he was completely out of the darkness did Jiang Huan realize that there was an extremely thick iron chain tied to his ankle.
The chain probably weighed a full ten kilograms. Not to mention escaping, even carrying it to the front of everyone would be extremely difficult.
This dungeon was the only one incarcerated. He seemed to have not seen a stranger for a long time. He was slightly startled when he saw Jiang Huan, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.
He pushed aside his hair and looked at Jiang Huan with his slightly cloudy eyes. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Is this the little princess of the Jiang Kingdom?"
Jiang Huan frowned. She had never seen this person before, but he was able to recognize her.
And based on his shameless appearance, it seems that he has been locked up here for at least ten years.
In ten years, I have become completely different from before.
This person can also recognize himself, so he must be someone he is particularly familiar with.
But Jiang Huan couldn't remember this appearance.
"Yes." Chen Ruyi answered first, "She is the future crown princess of Chen State and your future grandson-in-law."
Jiang Huan's eyes widened in shock when the grandson's daughter-in-law said this.
This person turned out to be the late emperor Chen Sheng who died of illness ten years ago.
Chen Sheng is the longest-reigning emperor in the history of the Chen Kingdom. During his reign, he created many things that were beneficial to people's livelihood and well-being. These systems continue to this day, which allows Chen Yan to be stable even if he squanders his power.
One of the reasons for sitting on the throne of emperor.
During his reign, this emperor was an emperor who was praised by thousands of people. Not to mention that he was thrown into this dungeon and suffered inhuman treatment, even if he was wronged and ignored, it was all undeserved.
Such meritorious officials of the Chen State should have been praised and treated well, and should have been praised by thousands of people for thousands of years.
But now he looks even more embarrassed than the beggars on the street. If he were left on Changle Street now, no one would have thought that this man was actually the once high and mighty emperor.
"It's so big..." Chen Sheng seemed to be feeling quite emotional. He put on a vicissitudes of life smile, which made people sigh.
Time kept going back in Jiang Huan's mind, and finally it fell back to the time when he was young and in the palace.
The old man who was still alive smiled and stretched out his hand to him, pulled him into his arms, and called him affectionately, "Our little Huan is so tall. The last time Grandpa Chen saw you, you were so tall."
She is still a little girl in her infancy."
Hearing this, Xiao Jiang Huan straightened her back and proudly made herself look taller, "But, I drink milk every day. When I come to the palace next time, I will definitely be taller than Grandpa Chen.
high."
Chen Sheng heard this and rubbed little Jiang Huan's head with a smile. In front of Grandpa Chen, little Jiang Huan seemed to be able to slow down and not have to rush to catch up.
if only......
As long as I stand here, it seems to be fine. Other things have nothing to do with me, and I don't need to worry about those power disputes.
