Standing beside her, Gao Yurong also sneered and said: "If she is not affectionate and righteous, how can the empress have such an opportunity?"
After finishing speaking, she turned her head again, and looked at Feng Qianyan who was standing on the other side, who had been silent all this time, with cold eyes.
"Concubine Kang, what are you thinking?"
Feng Qianyan did not look back at them, but still stared fixedly at the back that had almost disappeared under the dazzling sunlight, and said solemnly: "Love and righteousness..."
"..."
"That's how she got the emperor's favor?"
Wu Wan and Gao Yurong looked at each other.
And on Feng Qianyan's face, there was a gloomy smile, even under such a scorching sun, it was still as cold as ice.

Originally, the sky was clear, but after Shen Shi, it gradually became overcast.
A large piece of dark cloud came from nowhere and shrouded the sky. Although it covered the dazzling sunlight, it still gave off a suffocating feeling of oppression.
However, in the dungeon, even the passage of time cannot be felt.
Everything here is just dead silence.
But there was a little sound, coming through the dark and damp corridor, it was the sound of a drop of water falling to the ground.
The second drop, the third drop.
Getting closer and closer, I could hear a person's difficult breathing, and every breath seemed so cramped, as if it was accompanied by endless pain.
It's Jian Ruocheng.
He was tied to a torture rack. From his neck, to the back of his arms, and to his entire back, there were all hideous and shocking injuries.
That day at the Chongen Pagoda, when the fire demon was raging and almost engulfing Nanyan, he hugged Nanyan into his arms without thinking about it, and resisted that wave of attack for her, but also because In that way, his entire back was burnt.
However, Nanyan didn't know.
At that moment, in her whole heart and eyes, there were only people in Zhongen Tower.
but-
fair enough.
Thinking of this, Jian Ruocheng, who had been suffering from pain and torture for too long, almost fainted, but was always pulled back by the severe pain, showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
fair enough.
As long as she is safe, happy, and loving what she loves, that's fine.
Just when he was thinking like this in his heart, a cold voice came from his ear——
"You can still laugh."
"..."
Jian Ruocheng frowned slightly, he slowly raised his head, and looked at the swaying figures in front of him, because of the backlight, he couldn't see clearly the people who tortured him, even after being thrown into this cold Yes, after the dungeon full of bloody smell, he has completely lost the ability to perceive.
The instruments of torture left invisible wounds on his body.
But it was a bone-piercing pain.
His hands were completely unconscious, but he was tied to the torture rack by iron chains, which made him unable to fall down.
Blood dripped down drop by drop along the weak fingertips and the scattered hair on his forehead.
When he spoke, his voice was so hoarse that it didn't sound like his own.
"Why can't I laugh?"
The person on the opposite side snorted coldly, raised his hand, and the whip dipped in water was like a poisonous snake, slamming on his body.
"Well!"
Although the flesh and blood had already been torn apart, the burning pain still spread to the heart again.
Jian Ruocheng couldn't make a sound, only a suppressed growl and groan rolled in her throat.
The other party was not soft at all, and with a backhand swing, the whip hit him again, smashing the already tattered prison uniform into pieces, and blood gushed out again.
"explain!"
"Is it you, murdering the emperor!"
"Who else do you have?"
"Account for all your accomplices!"
…
After a while of whipping, the air was filled with the smell of blood.
There was no intact place on Jian Ruocheng's body, even the tip of the whip was completely stained red, dripping with blood.
However, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I already said it, it's not me."
"..."
"The assassination of the emperor has nothing to do with us."
"How dare you say no?!"
A few jailers leaned in front of him with ferocious expressions, and said viciously: "It is obvious that you are the ones who took advantage of the emperor entering the Chong'en Pagoda to sacrifice, and burned the Chong'en Pagoda with rockets, trying to put the emperor to death!"
"A person like you will never die!"
"As long as you plead guilty now, we can give you a good time."
"..."
Hearing these words, Jian Ruocheng slowly raised his head.
His face was pale, his cheeks were covered with his own blood, and his eyes were also bloodshot and red, but those eyes had a penetrating power to see through people's hearts.
The jailer's heart trembled slightly at his gaze, and he took a step back subconsciously.
Jian Ruocheng said, "You want me to plead guilty."
"..."
"After I plead guilty, you can put all the charges on me?"
Several people looked at each other.
There was a hint of danger in the eyes, and he said coldly: "It's not that we put the blame on you, but that you did these things in the first place!"
"..."
"As long as you admit it, I can give you a happy time."
"The dignified Second Young Master Jian, the former Zhongshu Sheng Youcheng, doesn't have to suffer like this, does he?"
Jian Ruocheng fell silent.
He looked at the blurred figures in front of him, especially after the execution just now, his face was covered with blood, which made his vision red.
Looking at these people, he smiled coldly.
"I have acted frankly all my life. I will admit what I have done."
"..."
"I have never done it, and no one can force me to admit it!"
When those people heard his words, they all frowned.
One of them gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "How dare you speak hard?!"
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and wanted to whip the whip on him again, but at this moment, a person behind him stopped him.
That was the leader of the jailers.
He looked at Jian Ruocheng, sneered, and said, "As expected - Jian Tongguang's son, he really has a strong character."
As soon as Jian Ruocheng heard the words "Jian Tongguang", Jian Ruocheng's heart trembled.
The other party sneered and said: "I heard that before Mr. Jian was exterminated, the most important thing in his life was his students. I don't know if his young master has such a heart."
Jian Ruocheng's breath was suffocated.
"What do you mean?!"
The other party did not speak.
But at this moment, in the original silent dungeon, suddenly, he heard a shrill cry from a distance.
"ah!"
Upon hearing that voice, Jian Ruocheng's whole body froze.
He raised his head suddenly, and there was nothing to see in this cell, but more and more young, familiar voices came from all directions.
They were crying, moaning, and screaming.
Yes, the students of Takema Academy!
Immediately, Jian Ruocheng's heart flustered, and he said, "You guys, what are you going to do?!"
