The entire hall was so quiet that you could almost hear the rustling sound of heavy snow falling on the roof, but apart from this, you couldn't even hear a single gasp.

Everyone looked at Pei Yuanhao sitting on the dragon throne.

At this moment, he was surprisingly calm. Compared to the man who had been questioning Nangong Lizhu just now, he had already returned to his status as an emperor. A hand with a somewhat pale joint was placed firmly on the table, and he did not even move.

Without moving, he said in a deep voice: "Here comes someone."

The maids and nuns nearby immediately walked up carefully.

But he didn't seem to see it, and said in a deep voice: "Someone is coming!"

Everyone froze for a moment and understood immediately. Several of His Highness's guards hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Take Yue Qingying down."

As soon as he said these words, everyone around him was shocked. Chang Qing immediately said: "Your Majesty, she——"

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by Pei Yuanhao's cold gaze.

I also raised my head and looked at his face, which was as cold as an ice sculpture. He didn't look at me. He really looked like an ice sculpture sitting on a dragon chair, looking calmly ahead: "Locked to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."<

/p>

Chang Qing's body swayed, and she turned her head to look at me. I stood up from the ground silently, and nodded to her silently. Like Pei Yuanhao, she was as calm as if nothing happened, and she behaved herself.

They walked down the hall, and the guards hurriedly followed.

They were quite polite to me. Even if my crime was exposed on the spot, they did not escort me out in the most humiliating posture. And when I walked through the long passage in the middle of the hall, the surroundings were so quiet that there was no criticism.

I only heard Pei Yuanhao's deep voice coming from the main hall.

Sound: "Li Fei Nangong Lizhu - Nangong Lizhu," he seemed very tired, and when he said the name, it seemed to be so heavy that he couldn't even bear it. "It is unbecoming of a woman to murder the prince.

Because of Jieyu, I moved to Yeting to spend half a year behind closed doors."

My steps stopped for a moment.

It was not because I heard him punish Nangong Lizhu, but when he said these words, I walked up to Qinghan.

At this moment, my originally calm heart began to beat uncontrollably.

There are so many people around, so many eyes of all kinds, with different expressions, including contempt, confusion, joy, and even anger, but they are all blurry. I don’t care what eyes anyone looks at me with. The only clear one is,

The only thing I care about is that thin figure and those clear eyes.

He was clearly standing there, and for some reason it gave me the illusion of being crumbling, but if I looked carefully, he was just looking at me quietly.

The eyes are very strange.

I can imagine that he would be confused, angry, confused, disappointed, and have many emotions. But at this moment, his face and eyes were all empty, as if his whole person had been hollowed out.

When I was there, it was like an ice sculpture. When I looked at it, there was nothing in my eyes.

Light cold...

I knew I should leave, but my legs felt like they were filled with lead and were too heavy to drag. I stood there hesitantly and looked at him, my two cold and pale lips trembling slightly, as if there was something wrong with me.

I wanted to say a thousand words, but when I really opened my mouth, I found that not a single word could come out.

If he doesn't want to listen, why should I speak?

Qinghan, what do you think of me?

What would you think if you see me clearly like this?

Do you think that a woman like me is not worthy of your love? Will you hate me? Will you - will you look down on me?

At this moment, the guard behind me pushed me: "Let's go."

I staggered a step and walked out of the hall. When I looked back to see him, I felt that my eyes were blurry and his thin figure had been lost in the sea of ​​people.

When I raised my head, I was faced with the vast expanse of falling snow that was falling all day long.

What a cold winter.

This was not the first time I was thrown into a prison. It was just like being thrown into an ice cellar in such a cold weather. I wrapped myself in a heavy fur coat and realized that even though

It's a fox fur coat, but it's not really that warm.

Because I feel cold from the bottom of my heart.

I was no longer unfamiliar with this place. As soon as I entered the cell, I slowly groped my way to the corner and sat down. The jailers had gathered together to drink New Year's Eve drinks, but I didn't expect that there would be anyone there on this day.

After being imprisoned, I could only put down the food and wine and work for a while, and I was all angry. However, they saw that I didn't seem to care about anything, just sitting in the corner without saying a word, but they couldn't get angry.
p>

After looking at each other for a long time, one of them pointed at me and said, "Be honest," and then went back with a few others and continued to sit down and drink their wine.

The air is filled with the strong smell of burning knives.

The smell was very strong, but in such cold air, it was not that unpleasant. I raised my head and looked at the light from the skylight above my head. There were many fine pieces of snow foam falling down and flying to my face.

, another burst of coldness made me shrink.

It was getting colder and colder. I pinched my fingertips and it was so cold that I felt like I had lost consciousness.

But fortunately, my mind is still clear. I warmed my fingers while recalling everything that happened in the main hall. After entering the prison, I lost the concept of time. I no longer remember how much time passed in the middle, but I felt in a trance.

It seems that what happened in the main hall has happened a long time ago.

However, no matter what, the dust has settled.

Nangong Lizhu was not imprisoned. After all, she was not involved in human life. She was just immoral. However, after beating the prince and having her crime exposed in public, no matter how much Pei Yuanhao dotes on her, there will always be pain in his heart.

She must also give an explanation to the second prince and all the ministers, and give the harem a warning. She must be demoted to Jieyu and sit in front of the wall for half a year. In these six months, she will not be able to use any means she has.

At least, I have bought Chang Qing some time.

As for Pei Nianyun, if Mingzhu is implicated in this matter, even if he is not convicted, he will definitely be ignored in the short term; I have already contacted Chang Qing before, and as long as Liu Li opens her mouth, she will agree.

She is a woman from the Liu family, with a naturally kind blood flowing through her body. I believe she will take good care of the second prince.

Although all this was unexpected, fortunately, it had been arranged in advance.

It is impossible to arrange for only one person to come.

Thinking of this, I felt my fingers getting colder, especially when I recalled his blank eyes when I walked out of the hall, it made me feel even colder.

Isn’t this good?

I can't let go of him, no matter how reasonable Fu Badai's words are, no matter how clear he is in his heart, I can't let him go.

However, is it okay to let him see me clearly and let him give up on me?

My fingers couldn't be warmed up, so I looked down at my pale palms for a long time, then slowly walked to the fence and whispered: "Brother, cell leader."

The sound of drinking and eating meat outside stopped for a moment, and then I heard a person say, "Keep going, I'll go take a look." Then I saw a jailer walking over, smelling the heavy smell of alcohol on his body, but he didn't feel drunk at all.

, his dark and rough face was covered with messy stubble, and his expression could not be seen clearly, only his eyes showed some shrewdness.

He asked: "What?"

I held on to the fence: "Please, give me a glass of wine."

He looked at me and said nothing. I lowered my head and wiped a ring from my hand and handed it over: "Excuse me."

He glanced at me again, took the ring and put it in his arms without saying a word. However, he did not go back to get the wine. Instead, he took off a small wine bottle from his waist and handed it to me.

I thanked you in a low voice, took it and put it to my mouth.

But just when the jug was about to touch the corner of his lips, the iron door outside was suddenly pushed open again, and the jailers were impatiently saying: "Who are you disturbing me for drinking——"

Before they finished speaking, everyone was so frightened that they fell silent. After a while, they heard their voices hurriedly kneeling down: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

My hand shook, and the wine bottle suddenly fell down. Fortunately, the jailer had quick eyes and quick hands and reached out to take it, but the wine inside had splashed all over the floor. He glanced at me, didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly put it away and turned around.

Walk outside.

There was also a panic outside, but it soon calmed down. There were no more greetings, and no one dared to speak anymore. I was still standing there holding on to the fence in the same posture as before, when I heard a burst of footsteps.

A tall figure walked out of the darkness.

The light and shadow slowly floated on his face, making his features more and more thin and profound. However, those eyes seemed to be far from being out of the darkness. Even when they walked in front of me, they were still pitch black.

Pei Yuanhao!

I have obviously been there for a while, but I suddenly felt that the cold air around me was suffocating.

He walked over step by step and did not stop until he reached the fence. His face was slightly lowered, and the light from the skylight could not illuminate his eyes. His dark pupils were neither cold nor cold.

Hot, looking at me without a trace of warmth, the only sound left in the prison was the sound of fine snow falling above my head.

He never spoke, so I just looked at him in silence. It must have snowed heavily outside. Even after coming in for so long, I could still see a thin layer of fluffy mink fur on his shoulders.

Snow has fallen, but now the snow not only has not melted, but also fine snow has fallen, falling on the tops of my head and his head.

After a while, the hair, eyebrows, and even the slightly trembling eyelashes were dyed white.

It seems like I am so old in just a moment.

This is how he and I have come together over the years.

Thinking of this, I somehow calmed down and raised my pale face a little more. Just like every time before, I looked at him indifferently without any enthusiasm.

After an unknown amount of time, his voice rang out from the empty cell——
Chapter completed!
