While Lan Qingruo was thinking about it, the nanny suddenly stepped forward in a hurry and whispered: "Miss, the old princess is here."

Lan Qingruo nodded, adjusted her makeup and clothes a little, then hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully and gently: "Qingruo has met the old princess."

Compared to the idiot Shen Xinyue who was born in a merchant family, Lan Qingruo, who was born in the Taifu Palace, was naturally more satisfied with the old princess.

When Huo Ziyao got married to Shen Xinyue, firstly, they couldn't pass up Huo Weilou as their elder brother. Secondly, because Huo Weilou was a high-ranking and powerful person, if Huo Ziyao's marriage was more prominent, it would definitely arouse suspicion, so he had no choice but to marry Shen Xinyue.

The old princess originally felt sorry for her favored younger son, but unexpectedly, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Lan Qingruo was allowed to marry Zi Yao.

So although the old princess was angry on the outside, she was still very satisfied with Lan Qingruo, her little daughter-in-law.

"Qingruo, I'm sorry for you." The old princess hurriedly helped Lan Qingruo up and waved to her grandma behind her to come in.

Those grandmothers came in with countless rare treasures and silks and satins in their hands.

"Ziyao is a rich and idle man, nothing is as good as his elder brother. You are one of the most talented women in the capital. It is indeed wronging you to follow him. But the deal is done. Marrying Zi Yao is your best choice. Neither me nor Zi Yao I will treat you badly, so you have to relax," the old princess said.

Lan Qingruo is also a smart person. He nodded and said meekly: "Qingruo knows, but - just robbed the Shen family's sister of her marriage. With her background, the prince will definitely look down on her. This Shen family My sister doesn’t know how to deal with herself in the future - thinking of this, I feel very uneasy. By the way, Sister Shen has been kneeling in the ancestral hall all night, she must be starving, right?"

After hearing Lan Qingruo's words, the old princess valued and loved her more and more.

"Humph, you are still here worrying about her? She is fine! She climbed into Huo Weilou's bed last night! I think Huo Weilou is already obsessed with her!" the old princess snorted coldly.

As soon as these words came out, Lan Qingruo's pupils dilated instantly, and her heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

What!

Shen Xinyue actually climbed into Huo Weilou's bed last night!

She has been engaged to Huo Weilou for so many years, and Huo Weilou has always been polite and distant to her, and has never been even remotely intimate or ambiguous!

Why!

Why could Shen Xinyue, a businesswoman, climb into his bed!

Lan Qingruo's heart suddenly felt like a world of ice and fire, and she was so depressed that she could hardly breathe.

However, in front of the old princess, Lan Qingruo did not dare to reveal her thoughts.

She smiled slowly and said: "In this case, it is really a mistake to make a mistake. It's just that Sister Shen's identity is barely a concubine. When she becomes a princess, if word spreads, I am afraid that outsiders will laugh at our palace."

Although the old princess disliked Huo Weilou very much, Huo Weilou was the pillar and face of the Regent's palace.

If he really wants to marry a merchant girl as his princess, wouldn't it make other people laugh if word spread about it?

However, if the Shen family wants to take Shen Xinyue as a concubine, it will be difficult for the Shen family to explain it. After all, they are wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. If the Shen family gets into trouble, the palace's face may also be damaged.

The old princess immediately frowned.

Just at this time, the steward of the palace came forward and said: "Old princess, the several death row prisoners in the dungeon are going to be dealt with. Should we still follow the old rules?"

Suddenly a light flashed in the old princess's mind, and she said: "Of course, it's better to pull her to the village to feed the wild beasts. By the way, Butler Fu, the one who was just locked up this morning, also pull her over. If the prince asks later, she will say that she wants to He's trying to escape and hide in the death row car."

Butler Fu nodded and went on.

After hearing the old princess's arrangement, Lan Qingruo's jealousy, which was like a thousand ants gnawing at her heart, eased slightly.

He was taken to Zhuangzi to feed the wild beasts. Those wild beasts were hungry all year round. If they were thrown in, there would be no chance of survival.

Over here, in the dungeon.

Shen Xinyue was closing her eyes to relax when the cell door suddenly opened.

Shen Xinyue immediately opened her eyes. Butler Fu glanced at her from afar and said coldly: "Tie the person up and take him with him."

Two guards immediately stepped forward, tied up Shen Xinyue's hands and feet, stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth, and carried her out of the dungeon.

There was a carriage outside the dungeon. Shen Xinyue was thrown into the carriage, and the carriage began to gallop.

The journey was bumpy, and there were several death row prisoners who were also tied up beside Shen Xinyue.

An uneasy premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

The carriage was so bumpy that Shen Xinyue tried several times before she found a position close to the wall of the carriage and stabilized herself.

After sitting firmly, she began to work hard to untie the rope around her body.

However, before she could completely untie the rope, the carriage had already arrived at its destination.

After the people in the car threw them through a doorway, they drove away without looking back.

Shen Xinyue was also thrown in. Just as she was feeling dizzy from the fall, she suddenly heard a roar.

She was startled, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a skinny and hungry tiger suddenly jumped out, pounced on the death row prisoner closest to her, and tore the death row prisoner apart instantly.

The remaining prisoners on death row were trembling with fear. However, their mouths were blocked, their hands and feet were trapped, and they could only wait for death.

Shen Xinyue turned pale with fright, and hurriedly bit the rope in her hand as quickly as possible, and then untied the rope under her feet.

The tiger was still enjoying the first death row prisoner, so he had no time to take care of her.

Shen Xinyue looked around the environment here. The wall was four to five meters high and it was impossible to climb out. There were no trees or anything like that in the yard to borrow.

Except for the doorway that was opened from the outside just now, there is not even a doorway.

Obviously, this tiger was bred here specifically to handle death row prisoners.

The door was made of fine iron, and the switch was on the outside. Even ten Shen Xinyue couldn't break it open.

The only way to escape is to kill the tiger.

Although she has some martial arts skills, there is absolutely no way she can defeat the tiger by herself.

Shen Xinyue looked at the remaining four death row inmates, hurriedly stepped forward and untied the ropes for them.

"If we want to survive, we must kill this tiger. Before it is full, we must work together to get all the tools that can be used on the ground." Shen Xinyue said calmly.

The death row prisoners were trembling with fear when they saw the tiger tearing the man apart.

Seeing Shen Xinyue untying the rope for them, several people quickly picked up the wooden sticks and rusty hoes on the ground, and Shen Xinyue found an abandoned spear.

"This tiger is so tall, it can kill us with one claw! How can we beat it to death?" said one with trembling legs.

Shen Xinyue was also afraid.

She has never seen such a battle.

But to give in at this time is to wait for death.

She doesn't want to die yet.

"Everyone, calm down. There will definitely be a way. Hemp rope, that's right, hemp rope. You two work together and pick up the hemp ropes that tie us up."

Shen Xinyue was so anxious that she immediately came up with a plan.

The four death row prisoners were now without a master. When they saw Shen Xinyue, they seemed to have seen their backbone. They hurriedly followed her instructions and picked up the hemp ropes that they had untied from their bodies.

The hungry tiger had almost finished eating the death row prisoner on the ground, and sweat broke out on Shen Xinyue's forehead, so the four of them quickly used a clever method to wrap the rope around the tiger's four legs.

The tiger seemed to be aware of the danger. He suddenly raised his head from hunger and roared at Shen Xinyue.

This roar was enough to make Shen Xinyue's feet tremble.

She forced herself to calm down, picked up the rusty gun in her hand, used all her strength, took out the acupuncture needle, and stabbed one of the tiger's eyes fiercely.

Fortunately, she got stabbed.

The tiger's eyes bled instantly. His whole body became furious and violent, and he rushed towards Shen Xinyue.

Just as the tiger pounced out, the four death row inmates suddenly pulled back the rope in their hands and held the tiger back.

The four people used all their strength to grab the tiger like a dead horse being quartered.

Shen Xinyue took this opportunity to yank off the hairpin from her head, used the acupuncture needle again, and flew the needle directly towards the tiger's other eye.

The tiger was blinded in both eyes and was bleeding profusely. It immediately became furious, struggled and howled, and pounced towards Shen Xinyue following its sense of smell.

Although Shen Xinyue managed to dodge quickly, she was still thrown to the ground by the tiger's palm.

"Pull!" Shen Xinyue shouted.

However, the strength of the four death row prisoners could no longer trap the angry tiger.

Although the dead man tried his best, the tiger struggled on the ground and was restrained by the hemp rope.

One of the prisoners on death row was so frightened that his legs were weak. The tiger pounced on him, grabbed the man in his mouth and shook him wildly twice. The prisoner on death row received his lunch box in an instant.

Another person died, and this time the morale of the army was completely shaken. The remaining seven people retreated and huddled in the corner, not daring to make any more noise.

Shen Xinyue also became a little confused.

The whole Zhuangzi became eerily quiet, and only the tiger's heavy breathing could be heard.

Is she really going to die like this?

Shen Xinyue couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

The tiger was blind, but his sense of smell and hearing were still there.

It was quiet for a moment, then suddenly roared again and rushed towards the other death row prisoner.

Although there were some deviations, it quickly grabbed the death row prisoner with one claw.

The spear from its eyes had been shaken off. Shen Xinyue picked up the spear and while it was distracted, she stabbed it hard in the back.
