Huo Yuan, who was far away on the front line, also learned about the bad news a few days ago. When he heard that his father had died of illness, he felt a sudden sadness in his heart. Then he felt his throat was salty and vomited out a mouthful of blood. The generals on both sides also got the news, and they all
I was trying to comfort him in the commander's tent. At this moment, I saw General Huo was in distress and vomiting blood. Someone standing nearby quickly helped him.
Huo Yuan was supported by the generals and sat on the handsome chair. He looked pale, looked in the direction of Fucheng, and said in his mouth: "Father, why do you leave your child like this! How can you have the heart to abandon your mother and us!"
"
After saying that, he struggled to stand up, and with the support of several generals, he walked out of the commander's tent with one step at a time, looked in the direction of Fucheng, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times in a row.
Most of the generals were trained by the old prince. They once fought with Prince Huo. Now that they heard the news, they all knelt on the ground with Huo Yuan. The soldiers gradually learned the news, and many of them gathered together and knelt together.
After Huo Yuan's death.
The King of Yue killed Prince Huo with poisoned wine, and the guard against the Huo Mansion was naturally cancelled. Only Princess Huo and Li Ling were left, and I bet they couldn't make any trouble. The soldiers on guard around the Huo Mansion were basically
They all withdrew, and only a few people stood guard at the gate of the mansion to see who came and went. Those courtiers of the Yue Kingdom knew some clues, so who dared to go to Huo Mansion to cause trouble at this time. For a time, Huo Mansion Gate
It was deserted in front, almost deserted.
At this time, Li Guogong could not bear to be forced, so he took the time to come to the Huo Mansion, thinking that it would be unethical to take Li Ling back, so he could only comfort Princess Huo, and then repeatedly told Li Ling to stay in the mansion and wait until she left.
On May 7th, I went back to my parents’ home.
The King of Yue poisoned Prince Huo and only paid attention to Huo Yuan's reaction. When he heard that Huo Yuan was just in pain and had no other expression, he let go of a lot of worries in his heart. He no longer worried about the matter that belonged to the Huo family.
The third prince stayed for a few days, and when he saw that the King of Yue no longer asked about the affairs of the Huo Mansion, his mind began to change. He had always been worried about his blindness. Li Long disappeared out of thin air, and heard what the soldiers said
It was the Fox Fairy who rescued him, so he no longer expected to deal with Li Long, but Li Ling was still in the Huo Mansion after all, so the hatred towards Huo Yuan would naturally have to be borne by Li Ling.
Outside the door of Prince Huo's Mansion, a servant from Duke Li's Mansion came and said he wanted to meet the eldest lady. After hearing the report, Li Ling ordered to be taken into the mansion. The servant met Li Ling and said that Mrs. Li was ill.
, Mr. Li Guogong is accompanying the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment, and now he wants to invite the eldest lady to return home.
Li Ling panicked when she heard this and hurriedly told her mother-in-law. After hearing this, Princess Huo was also anxious and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to take some ginseng from the house and several guards to go with her.
But the servant quietly said to Li Ling: "Miss, the Duke has ordered us to try not to let people from the Huo family follow us, for fear of inconvenience!"
Li Ling also knew that although the King of Yue had withdrawn the soldiers guarding the Huo Mansion, he still had surveillance on the Huo Mansion. She said to Princess Huo: "Mother, my father has been treated by the imperial doctor, and there are various medicinal materials at home.
.Now that I’m going back with this servant, the people in the mansion don’t have to follow me.” He said, nodding to Princess Huo.
Princess Huo understood the situation and had no choice but to give up. She just told Li Ling that no matter what the condition of her biological mother was, she must remember to reply in time.
Li Ling said goodbye to Princess Huo, and hurriedly left Huo Mansion in the carriage brought by the servant.
Li Ling was still anxious while sitting in the car, and then she heard the carriage stop at a certain place. Without waiting for the servant to speak, Li Ling hurriedly opened the curtain and wanted to get out of the car. But she was suddenly shocked: herself
What stood in front of me was actually a group of imperial troops. Looking around, I saw the Duke's Mansion. It was clearly a government office with high walls and a deep courtyard.
Li Ling was shocked. When she wanted to ask the servant, she could no longer see the servant. Li Ling knew in her heart that she had been tricked. Seeing the soldiers on both sides looking at her indifferently, Li Ling felt calm.
, get out of the car by yourself. Stand there and wait quietly to see what will happen next.
Several soldiers came forward and wanted to grab Li Ling's arm. Li Ling glared at them and then said: "I can leave by myself. You must not be rude. I am the wife of General Huo Yuan. You treat the court like this."
Whose instructions did the important minister’s family receive?”
The soldiers didn't say anything, but they no longer used force. They just made a gesture of invitation and asked Li Ling to go to the back of the government office. Li Ling gritted her teeth. She knew that even if she resisted, she could still do it with her own strength.
She was no match for the dozens of imperial troops in front of her. She followed the soldier's gesture and walked back.
When she arrived at the Moon Gate at the back, Li Ling was about to walk in. The soldiers stopped her and knocked on the wall on the right. The ground in front of the wall opened up, revealing a secret passage. The soldiers looked at her coldly and signaled.
She goes down.
Li Ling's heart tightened. She also vaguely knew that this was probably the legendary devil's cave in the Third Prince's Mansion. Li Ling felt a chill all over her body, as if the weather in the winter months in Fucheng had penetrated her clothes directly. But there was something on her forehead.
Cold sweat broke out, and Li Ling didn't know where the secret passage in front of her would take her. She looked around, and saw dozens of imperial soldiers holding sabers around their waists, with cold eyes. She wanted to escape from here, but with so many soldiers
There is absolutely nothing you can do in front of the soldiers. But if you go on, you may be in a hell that will never be restored.
Li Ling stood in front of the secret passage and thought for a long time. She intuitively felt that she was about to lose the strength to stand. If she had not gritted her teeth and persisted, she would have almost sat down on the ground. She prayed silently in her heart: "Huo Yuan, my husband, where are you?"
, do you know that I am about to fall into the clutches of the devil now, will you come to save me?"
The soldiers around him were a little impatient, so they said: "Do you want to go down by yourself, or will we carry you in?"
Li Ling took a deep breath, frowned, and walked up to the steps of the secret passage.
There were lights on both sides of the secret passage. Although it was gloomy, the steps could still be seen clearly. Li Ling carefully walked down dozens of steps and turned a corner. There was a flat passage in front of her. The passage was quite spacious, with a
These fierce lamp-holding figurines were about a person and a half tall, with ferocious faces. Li Ling felt cold sweat dripping from her eyes when she saw them, and her feet felt a little fluttery. She gritted her teeth and continued to walk forward for a while, and saw that the front became more spacious, with people on both sides.
In some cells, there are unkempt prisoners. If you look closely, you will see that they all have sallow faces and thin muscles, some have dazed eyes, and some have malicious eyes.
There were two executioners in red clothes in front. They were tall and muscular, with thick hair on their chests. They looked at Li Ling like two monsters, like two evil wolves.
The helpless lamb. The two of them pointed at a door on one side. Li Ling turned around and looked around, only to see the dim light inside. Under the light were various scarlet torture instruments.
Before Li Ling could think about anything, the two executioners came up. One of them grabbed one of Li Ling's arms and gently carried Li Ling into the cell. They leaned Li Ling against a shelf.
Another executioner came up and tied Li Ling's wrists tightly to the rack with ropes as thick as their fingers. Another person used a strap to strangle Li Ling's neck, and several other straps to strangle her waist, abdomen and knees.
Li Ling already felt numb at this time, and her whole body was fixed on the wooden stake.
After several executioners were tied up, they stepped aside. Li Ling found it difficult to breathe, and could only breathe rapidly. The only sound in the entire cell seemed to be her own breathing, and the silence was even more eerie and terrifying.
.
Li Ling could only close her eyes, trying to calm down. But she vaguely heard a series of slight ### sounds. The sounds seemed to come from hell, miserable and unwilling, distant yet close, vaguely present, but revealing.
It rings through the ears and into the heart.
Li Ling suddenly remembered that her sister Li Long was also captured by the third prince and brought into the government office. She wondered if Li Long was here at the time. Fortunately, Li Long was rescued by the fox fairy and escaped from the sea of suffering. Now, she is called
The sky doesn't respond and the earth doesn't respond. She can only wait for the unknown suffering. Li Ling wanted to cry. She thought of her parents, Huo Yuan, Princess Huo, and many others, but who could come to save her?
What about yourself?
Li Ling closed her eyes tightly and was thinking wildly, but she heard the sound of the cell door and several people walked in. Li Ling did not dare to open her eyes and look, she was afraid that the person who came in was really the devil, or even the third prince who was more terrifying than the devil.
.
But what you are afraid of is exactly what comes. The third prince's eerie voice rang in his ears: "Mrs. Huo, Miss Li. Haha, it must be you. I didn't expect you to come to my place today. I don't understand, you
If you are not staying in Huo Mansion, why do you come to me? This is a place specially designed to interrogate those death row prisoners who conspired to treason. Have you also committed such a crime? "
Li Ling's body was shaking a little, and her teeth couldn't help but chatter. She could no longer speak. She could only breathe heavily. The third prince stretched out his hand to touch Li Ling's face, and sighed: "Oh
, what a pitiful and delicate face, it will soon be badly damaged by whips and irons."
After listening to his words, Li Ling couldn't help but burst into tears. The third prince felt Li Ling's tears with his fingers, which made him even more proud. He gently continued to touch down with his hand, and touched Le
The third prince lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Being tied to this stake will make you taste all the torture later. You will know what it means to be unable to live and unable to die."
Li Ling's fear and shame could no longer be suppressed as the third prince's hands roamed her body like this, and she began to cry.
Li Ling's crying not only did not make the third prince feel pity, but made him even more excited. The third prince laughed wildly and roared: "Cry, I will make you cry, I will make you cry until you die! I will make you cry.
You know what kind of revenge you will get if you make me blind!"
The third prince's roar echoed in the dungeon for a long time.
This roar seemed to have also reached Li Guogong's house. Li Guogong was still sleeping deeply, but he suddenly woke up. While wiping the cold sweat on his head, he looked around nervously. Except for himself and Li Guogong beside him, there was no room in the room.
Madam, there was no one else around. Madam Li also saw Mr. Li Guo woke up and hurriedly patted him on the back. She said softly: "Master, why do I feel so panicked?"
Li Long, who was beside Ying'er, suddenly felt uneasy and was at a loss as to what to do.
