"Shen Lang, what should we do now?" Princess Yongning said.
Until now, neither King Cheng nor Princess Liu had come to meet her, even if they were just talking, comforting her, and letting her wait for a while, as long as it was a single sentence, Princess Yongning's heart could be settled. But no, from the beginning to the end, from the end of the Sansi Trial, she did not see a single one of her. Even if she moved out of the status of Cheng Wang and Princess Liu, these people would not pay any attention to her. They looked at her as if they were looking at a mortal person.
Princess Yongning finally felt fear and uncertainty about the future. In her entire life, she never thought that one day she would fall into such a helpless situation in prison. She set up a private prison in the princess mansion, and tried all kinds of weird ways to torture those people. Listening to their screams, seeing that they can't survive or die, the more fearful they call, the more proud she is and enjoy the manipulation of life and death. Pleasure.
However, nowadays, she has become a prisoner, waiting for others to decide her life and death. This is so absurd that she thinks all this is almost a dream.
Without becoming a king, without Princess Liu, and without the identity of a princess, she had to seize the only life-saving straw, Shen Yurong. She pushed Shen Yurong across the fence: "Shen Lang, you are talking!"
Shen Yurong turned her head and looked at her faintly. For some reason, his ashen and waveless eyes suddenly made Princess Yongning feel scared, she unconsciously released the hand holding Shen Yurong's sleeve.
"There is no way." Shen Yurong said: "I have no way."
Princess Yongning was stunned for a while, as if she had only realized what Shen Yurong was saying, she screamed: "How can there be no way? When things have reached such a point, how can you say that you have no way? You are lying to me, right? , Right? You still have a way, we won't die, right? Shen Lang?!"
She was anxious and pleading, her expression of fear and madness fell in Shen Yurong's eyes. For some reason, there was a hint of happiness in Shen Yurong's heart.
As if trying to defeat her deliberately, Shen Yurong said again: "I didn't lie to you, there is really no way to do it. Accept your fate, Yongning, this is retribution."
…
Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong were imprisoned in the Sky Prison of the Criminal Ministry, and death row prisoners were not allowed to visit them.
In Fangfeiyuan, Jiang Li was sitting at the table, looking out the window in a daze.
The sky started to rain lightly, and February came to an end. At the beginning of March, the rain in Yanjing City began to increase. The patter of rain hit the window edge, and some fine raindrops hit the person, cold and soft. The land that has dried up for a whole winter has also become wet, and new green has grown.
There was no other news from the palace, but I wanted to come to Princess Liu and Wang Cheng, but they were already exhausted. It is impossible for Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong to escape this catastrophe. What she originally wanted to do seems to have been done. Clean up the unreasonable charges from oneself, find out the real culprit who killed Xue Zhao, and avenge the Xue family's evil deeds to the world. She did all of these things, and even saved her father's life. But when all of this was done, she didn't feel relieved, the ease of getting what she wanted. On the contrary, I feel sad.
She didn't know how long she would survive, and she didn't know her father. Everything that happened in the past cannot be undone, and there is indeed no such person as Xue Fangfei in the world. In her life, she is unwilling to marry another child. The dream she had when she was young, traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, and now it is even more impossible for her to be the first daughter of a daughter. To live is not to live as you wish. It seems to be blameless.
"Girl," Tong'er walked over to close the window and said, "Do you think you can give something to the Guogong Mansion?"
When Jiang Li went to see Ji Heng at the Guogong Mansion before, she asked Ji Heng to rescue Jiang Youyao from Princess Yongning's private cell. Although what I did in the end was different from what I imagined, I did it in the end. Jiang Li thought about it, but didn't know what else he could give Ji Heng in return. There is no shortage of gold and silver treasures, and Jiang Li, a stunning beauty, can't be found here.
Along the way, her originally hostile, wary, and suspicious heart towards Ji Heng had disappeared from time to time. Instead, there was trust that she didn't even find herself, and maybe even a little reliance.
"Think about it again." Jiang Li said, "I'll go to Yaoguangzhu first. I have something to tell my father."
Jiang Yuanbai has not gone to court since the Trial of the Third Division of the Criminal Department was over, and stayed with Jiang Youyao in the mansion all day. He also felt extremely guilty in his heart. He always felt that if he was not so indifferent to Jiang Youyao at the beginning, Jiang Youyao would not run out of the house in anger and encounter such disasters. Now that people are crazy, Jiang Yuanbai often accompanies her, as if to make up for something.
When I arrived at Yaoguangzhu, I saw Jiang Yuanbai in the courtyard at a glance.
Jiang Yuanbai sat on the edge of the yard, watching Jiang Youyao in a daze. Jiang Youyao was surrounded by a maid, sitting on a soft stool and staring at the sky blankly. The eye from which her eyeball was dug out was wrapped in a thick white cloth. Only the other eye was left, and the expression in his eyes was dull and chaotic. I don't know what eve will be, let alone know everyone.
Jiang Li's footsteps stopped on the edge of the yard and said, "Father."
Jiang Yuanbai looked over and saw that it was Jiang Li, and said, "Ali, why are you here?"
"I'll see the third sister, and also see my father." Jiang Li said, stepping forward. Jiang Youyao was unaware of Jiang Li's appearance. She was immersed in her own world, and no one could disturb her. She was no longer arrogant and self-willed.
Jiang Yuanbai sighed for a long time. The Jiang family has been accustomed to going smoothly over the years, but in just one year, it has become turbulent. Ji Shuran died, and the remaining two daughters, Jiang Li, became strange and polite, and Jiang Youyao went crazy. He suddenly felt weak, and even his official career now seemed to be at a loss.
Jiang Li whispered: "There is one thing, I want to ask my father for help."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yuanbai asked.
"In the prison of the Criminal Ministry, death row prisoners are not allowed to be visited." Jiang Li said: "I want to see Princess Yongning. I hope my father can talk to the criminals and make an exception."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanbo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you going to do to see Princess Yongning in the jail?"
"The answers to some questions still need Princess Yongning to uncover for me, even if it is for Xue Xiancheng." Jiang Li said: "I don't need to go in, just look at her through the fence. Can my father promise me? If not, I will think of another way."
She spoke mildly, but she said "If I can't, I'll think of another way" instead of "If I can't, just forget it."
Jiang Yuanbai stared at Jiang Li. The daughter's inner stubbornness was something he also felt surprised and rare, and she was very assertive, and she was not completely honest with his father.
She kept her secret, but she would not tell him this father. Jiang Yuanbai felt very powerless, but he could not ask Jiang Li to do anything. When Jiang Li was young, because of his fault, this daughter suffered and became estranged with him. Because of his negligence, Jiang Li's biological mother was also killed. . In other words, no one would restore his former intimacy to his father. It was he who pushed the ginger pear out of his life with one hand, and now he is going to swallow this bitter fruit that has already been brewed by himself.
Therefore, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, let me tell you, you can just go."
As Jiang Yuanbai, it is not a big problem to say hello to people from the Criminal Ministry and let his daughter go to see a death row inmate. Especially the world knows that Princess Yongning killed the third young lady of the Jiang family, and Jiang Li would not take the opportunity to do anything.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Thank you father." He looked at Jiang Youyao again, "Father wants to take care of the third younger sister, then I won't bother." Turned and left.
Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li's leaving back, and gave a wry smile. What was it to come to see Jiang Youyao specifically, he clearly wanted to tell him about this. This daughter... She really resembles the Ye family, the transaction belongs to the transaction, and the grievances are clear.
But it's wise to be smarter, so as not to be deceived, Jiang Yuanbai sighed.
…
That evening, when Jiang Yuanbai's people came and said that they had already greeted the people of the Criminal Ministry, Jiang Li was determined to go out when Jiang Li could go to the Criminal Ministry to "visit" at any time.
Bai Xue looked outside: "Girl, it's still raining outside, why don't you forget it?"
"I'm going to ask about it tomorrow," Jiang Li said, "If you don't go today, you won't have a chance tomorrow."
She said so surely that the two maids no longer discouraged her. It’s just that I was wondering, why did I go to the prison to see Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning? Although Princess Yongning harmed Jiang Youyao, Jiang Li and Jiang Youyao are not close, so it is impossible for Jiang Youyao to get ahead. And Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao, Jiang Li didn't even know each other, and didn't go to Princess Yongning because of them.
But the master's words naturally have the master's own reason. Tonger thought, when she suddenly saw Jiang Li combing her hair, she was taken aback, and said: "Why is the girl combing her hair by herself? Come on, slaves."
"No need." Jiang Li had already inserted the last hairpin and said: "I have combed it."
When she stood up, Tong'er and Bai Xue couldn't help being taken aback.
Jiang Li always likes to wear green and bicolor. The clothes are also simple, mainly plain, and the makeup is not powdered. However, Jiang Li tonight seems to be a different person. She traced Luo Dai and swiped a layer of powder, which made her skin look like gel fat, and her mouth fat was also faintly red. A pair of eyes are still as clear as water, but there are more things that I can't understand. She was wearing a moonwhite embroidered jacket, a long brocade dress in a concubine color, a cloud bun, agate hairpin, and two drops of ruby earrings with small grains of rice on her earlobes, making her bright and unfamiliar.
The eyebrows are clearly familiar, but they seem to have the perfect mood of a young girl overnight, and they have won the elegance of some good people. Standing here, even the night rain has become a blue smoke foil, making people unable to turn their eyes. .
Tong'er murmured: "The slave and maid almost can't recognize the girl."
Although Jiang Li has always shown something different from before, but over time, Tong'er has become accustomed to it. But for Tong'er today, this feeling is particularly strong. He only feels that the person in front of him is not Miss Jiang Er, but some other woman, a beauty that the Jiang family has never had before.
"Let's go." Jiang Li smiled: "Don't wait too late." She opened the door and walked out.
The rain continued, Jiang Li walked very slowly, and the splashing muddy water stained the skirt corners. When she used to be Xue Fangfei, she liked to dress up like this. A female is a person who is pleased with herself. She is willing to decorate herself with extra beauty. See the admiration in Shen Yurong's eyes. However, tonight, she did the familiar dress again, not to please others, but just to remind them.
Xue Fangfei can live well, in another way, not as they thought. The moment before Princess Yongning strangled her, she was still persuading her to give birth to a daughter-in-law in her next life. Tonight she told Princess Yongning that she got what she wanted, but she didn't know what the current Princess Yongning would look like
The grievances of the last life should always be settled.
