The night was dark, and a crescent moon hung on the treetops. The faint moonlight seemed to be filled with sadness, and it became increasingly bleak in this cold winter night.
The Palace of the Nine Princes of Dai Viet is brightly lit tonight, and the glass lamps are brilliant and gorgeous. The largest front hall of the palace, with palace lanterns and brocade silks, is bright and dazzling at this time.
The banquet was in full swing in the palace, with delicacies and world-famous wines being served one after another. There was singing and dancing in the palace, and there was a lot of joy and laughter. However, the host of the banquet, the Ninth Prince Bai Ye, was missing on the jade platform at the front.
There was great peace in the main hall, but the water prison on the west side of the palace was heavily guarded. The iron guards directly under the Ninth Prince Bai Ye had three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, guarding the small water prison airtight, even if a fly wanted to
It's impossible to fly in.
The pale moonlight shines through the narrow window onto a wave of water. There is an iron pillar standing in the middle of the pool. A ragged woman is tied to the iron pillar. Under the moonlight, the woman is motionless and seems to have passed out. Her hair is
His clothes were disheveled and his face could not be seen clearly, but his tattered clothes were stained with blood, the traces of countless whippings.
At this time, the chain outside the water prison "clacked", and then there was a soft "click" sound. The door of the water prison opened, and a tall figure walked in, closed the door with his backhand, and then quickly walked to the edge of the pool and stood still.
He looked at the unconscious man on the iron pillar in the middle, but there was no movement at all.
Under the dim candlelight, I saw that the man was tall and tall. Although it was cold winter, he only wore a light-colored brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns. He tied his hair with a jade crown, revealing a gentle and handsome face, with long eyebrows like willows cut by the spring breeze.
, there are deep red phoenix eyes under his eyebrows, and the slanting corners of his eyes make his gentleness more charming.
Zhi, straight nose, tightly pursed lips, all exquisite, all just right, it is a kind of Jiangnan charm with lingering autumn rain and misty smoke, gentle and elegant, but with a bit of atmosphere.
Noble and elegant, men can be so beautiful that people are fascinated by them.
However, at this moment, his eyes were filled with ice. Looking at the unconscious woman, he clenched his fists and even started to tremble a little.
Suddenly, he turned around, his figure was like a dragon, and the next moment he had landed next to the iron pillar. The cold water quickly wet his pants, and he instantly felt a bit painful coldness below his calf. The water prison was so fruity.
Not ordinary.
The man seemed unaware, and slowly stretched out his right hand to brush the woman's disheveled hair back, revealing a broken face with horrifying scars on half of her face.
This person is Bai Ye, the host of the banquet who should be in the front hall.
Bai Ye's hand trembled slightly, and he gently touched the scar. Yaozhi's Danfeng eyes were as thick and dark as ink, and the sweetness and happiness of the two of them getting along over the past year flashed before his eyes. Between the white snow and the new plum blossoms,
The woman who sings and dances happily; the woman who wants to be together for the rest of her life after getting drunk; the woman who holds a pot and drinks lightly every day, with the smell of wine in her body; the woman who is gentle, lazy and elegant but always reveals her intelligence...
At some point, she had imprinted that figure and that smile on his eyes and in his heart, making it impossible to get rid of...
However, all the beauty was torn apart by the six-year-old's miserable screams and hateful eyes.
The unknown emotions in Bai Ye's eyes were finally filled with full of hatred, Yao Zhi's Danfeng eyes turned red, and the bright and dark firelight on the wall reflected a handsome face that looked a bit ferocious.
He pinched her chin with his fingers and patted her face. Seeing that she didn't wake up, he took a pill from his arms and stuffed it into her mouth.
"It won't be easy for you to die now." After saying that, he held her face, lowered his head and kissed her lips, put the pill into her throat, and then tapped Luo Zhiyi a few times, and soon Seeing that the comatose Luo Zhiyi showed signs of waking up.
"Only when you are awake can you enjoy the pain better." After Bai Ye finished speaking, he looked with satisfaction at Luo Zhiyi, who had not yet opened his eyes, frowning in pain.
Bai Ye flicked his sleeves and robe, flew away from the pool, looked down at his soaked pants and boots, with an unhappy look in his eyes, walked quickly to the door, opened the door and left in a big stride.
As soon as the water prison door was closed, the room was quiet again, with only the faint moonlight remaining, shining on the water waves, swaying in light and dark, and breaking the brilliance.
At this time, Luo Zhiyi faintly opened her eyes in the pool, and the burning pain all over her body made her moan softly.
Looking up and looking around, the lights on the wall were on and off, the smell of the nose was extremely fishy, and the whole body felt like falling into an ice cave. It was so cold that it was almost numb. After a brief moment of confusion, Luo Zhiyi remembered that she was imprisoned in the water prison again. Luo Zhiyi's heart Seran, she was really destined to this water prison. She entered here twice in a while, and each time she was more embarrassed than the last time.
Everything she heard in Jingshui Lake during the day echoed in her mind again. Luo Zhiyi felt sad, but the pain all over her body made her extremely awake. She recalled the events of the past two months in detail in her mind. She checked it over again, not missing any clues. Slowly, her eyes became brighter and brighter. Against the backdrop of the broken face and the blood all over her body, she looked like a ghost crawling out of hell, which was extremely horrifying.
Lowering her head and looking at the broken fire swaying in the dirty pool, she suddenly laughed softly: "Bai Ye, it turns out that you have been using me from the beginning to the end." After saying this, she laughed wildly: "It turns out that I was framed. My Luo family is full of you, the dignified Prince of Dayue, Bai Ye."
"What a great Ninth Prince of Dayue, what a great Shura General." Her voice echoed in the empty water prison, and her laughter was sad and decisive.
In early spring, in February, the spring rain fell continuously, washing away everything in the world, both beautiful and sinful.
…
After returning to the palace from the Nine Princes' Mansion, the emperor's face remained gloomy. He sat on the throne and read the memorial casually.
Ambergris lingered in the royal study, and the palace attendants around them lowered their heads, looking at their noses with their eyes, and their minds with their noses.
The emperor threw down the memorial in an irritable mood and put his hand on his brow, looking very tired.
Manager Pan, who was standing aside, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to rest for a while?"
The emperor was silent for a while, then whispered: "No need." After saying that, he sat up straight again, picked up the memorial and read it. However, those words could not enter his mind at all, so he had to put down the memorial in vain and asked. He said, "Is there any news from Huayang Guard?"
Manager Pan's fat body trembled: "Back to the Emperor, news just came from the Caiyang Guard that the King of Northern Xinjiang seems to be making some moves."
"King of Northern Xinjiang," the emperor's voice became colder and colder, and his majestic appearance made people want to prostrate themselves on the ground.
"Yes, Huayang Wei just sent news that the King of Northern Xinjiang secretly raised an elite force of 50,000 people." Manager Pan carefully looked at the emperor's face and finally said it,
