Looking at these pieces of news, Luo Zhiyi's face became solemn as never before. Everyone in the family, except the eldest and second brothers, were arrested. This matter is too strange. Luo Zhiyi is very sure that his father will never rebel. Then there is only one option. One possibility: frame-up.
But who wants to frame their Luo family?
Your Majesty. My father and your Majesty are considered to be in harmony with each other. Although my father has a bad temper and is sometimes outspoken to the Emperor, which makes the Emperor a little unhappy. But it should not be as bad as this.
If it's not the emperor, it's a political enemy. Dad's existence is hindering the interests of some people. So, frame him and get rid of him quickly.
So, who will benefit the most if the Luo family is eliminated?
The accumulation of wind and snow finally sealed all the small windows. Finally, it slowly turned into a thick layer of ice, crystal clear, but the sky outside could no longer be seen.
The firelight on the wall in the water prison was still there, but it could not drive away the coldness on Luo Zhiyi's body. She and Jinhe hugged each other tightly, wrapped in the only quilt on Xiaotan, to resist the ruthless cold.
"Miss, how long will we be imprisoned?" The fear in Jin He's eyes fell on Luo Zhiyi's eyes, making her heart sink.
"I guess the emperor will have a decree soon. But"
However, what awaits them is probably a worse situation.
Conspiracy is always a dead end.
"Miss, will someone save us? Will the prince save us?" Jin He regretted just after he finished speaking. He looked at his lady anxiously, but saw that her face was expressionless. There were emotions in her eyes that she could not understand.
Jin He kept silent. He didn't dare to speak anymore. He was afraid that he would accidentally say something and touch the pain in his young lady's heart.
The water prison fell silent again.
Time passed slowly. The water in the water prison had been covered with a thin layer of ice, making the water prison even colder. The two people clinging to each other looked at the jumping fire, but could not see a trace of hope.
I don't know how long it took, but the water cell door suddenly rang. The two of them turned around and saw Xiao Liuzi coming in wrapped in the cold wind.
Shaking off the snowflakes on his body, Xiao Liuzi then greeted Luo Zhiyi. "Miss." After seeing how Bai Ye treated Luo Zhiyi, Xiao Liuzi no longer called her princess.
"Any news today?"
After Luo Zhiyi finished asking, he saw a look on Xiao Liuzi's face that was hesitant to speak. His heart sank. "Is there an edict from the emperor?"
It will happen sooner or later. If it weren't for King Xi's rebellion, this decree would have been given long ago.
"This morning the emperor issued a decree. The evidence of the Prime Minister's rebellion is conclusive. At three quarters of noon on the seventh day, the Prime Minister's family of more than 100 people will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate."
Luo Zhiyi felt the thunder in his ears. His mind went blank for a moment. His vision went dark and he fell softly.
"Miss. Miss." Jin He was shocked. Xiao Liuzi didn't care about etiquette. He quickly stepped forward to help Jin He hold Luo Zhiyi, pinch Ren Zhong and pat his cheek.
Luo Zhiyi woke up quickly. Tears fell and pain arose in his heart.
"Beheading at the Meridian Gate." Luo Zhiyi murmured in a low voice. He looked at Xiaoliuzi. "Why was he convicted without a trial?"
"This little six doesn't know either."
Luo Zhiyi let go of Xiao Liuzi's hand dejectedly. Tears fell like rain. He felt anxious and hateful in his heart. His whole body was shaking uncontrollably. The pain in his body, which was not good to begin with, seemed to suddenly attack all at once. Huge. The pain was overwhelming.
After enduring it for so many days, she finally couldn't bear it anymore at this moment. Painful moans accompanied by sad sobs overflowed from her mouth, like a desperate little beast. Her ruined face was almost distorted. Under the scars It was green and white. Under the light of the fire, it became even more terrifying.
"No. I can't stay here. I have to save my father and mother." Luo Zhiyi said and pushed Jin He away. She struggled to stand up. However, as soon as she moved, the pain all over her body made her collapse. Go down.
The pain in his body intensified. However, Luo Zhiyi gritted his teeth and refused to hum. Although he broke out in cold sweat, he straightened his back. "Jinhe, help me up."
"Miss," Jin He said in a crying voice, trying to dissuade her. But when he saw the cold and sharp eyes of his young lady, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"Xiao Liuzi, I want to go out." Although Luo Zhiyi's voice was still hoarse, it was extremely firm and unquestionable.
"But, even if you get out of this door, there are still iron guards guarding the yard. Miss, you still can't get out."
"How will you know you can't go out if you don't try?" Luo Zhiyi had a stubborn look in his eyes.
For the first time in so many days, Luo Zhiyi walked out of the water prison door that closed her. The cold wind was howling outside. The sky and the earth were dark. The sky was covered with snow. Black clouds piled up in the sky. Stratus clouds rolled. Black crows screamed. He fluttered his wings and flew high. Like black light, he rushed into the cold wind and slid into the sky. The cold wind and snow came to the bone. Luo Zhiyi couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, but always looked at the dark sky. "Dad, mother, I must. You have to wait for me."
There was a loud bang. The strong wind suddenly whipped up, breaking a towering tree outside the courtyard. The broken branches roared and flew up, slamming into the door outside the water prison. All the iron guards in the courtyard immediately looked towards the station. The frail woman at the door of the water prison.
He was in tatters and half of his face was in disrepair. It was extremely horrifying.
But who is Bai Ye's iron guard? They are men who have been on the battlefield and suffered blood and death. After a moment of confusion, they soon surrounded Luo Zhiyi at the door of the water prison. Although the sword was not unsheathed, it was clear that Tell Luo Zhiyi in vain that he can't go any further.
"I want to see Bai Ye." Luo Zhiyi's eyes were as sharp as ice and snow. In an instant, the iron guard in front of him felt cold all over.
"Princess, please come in. If the prince wants to see you, he will come naturally." One of the leading iron guards said to Luo Zhiyi expressionlessly.
Xiao Liuzi and Jinhe both looked at Luo Zhiyi. They saw Luo Zhiyi walking forward resolutely.
"Stop. Please go back, Princess. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." The iron guard finally pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed at Luo Zhiyi.
Others also drew their weapons one after another. For a moment, a cold light shone on Luo Zhiyi's terrifying face, making people feel even more chilled in their hearts.
Luo Zhiyi seemed not to hear or see. He kept walking forward.
"I want to see Bai Ye." After saying this, Luo Zhiyi's chest had already touched the cold knife. The iron guard was slightly shocked. His hand shook and he moved the knife back a little. He looked at the woman in front of him who had once conquered the country. Now that he was in such a state, he was suddenly speechless. On the sea outside Dongsan City, he had personally seen this woman sink into the deep sea several times. He wanted to rescue the prince like crazy. In the blink of an eye, three months passed. The past has passed. The two people who were once inseparable from life to death are now facing such a situation.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a soft voice sounded outside the hospital.
