There was no sky in the water dungeon, Yi Qianying yelled loudly at first, but her voice became hoarse, and no one answered her when she shouted.
The only ones with her were the mice in the water prison, and a pile of bones of unknown age in the corner of the water prison.
I don't know how many days passed, but Yi Qianying never waited for anyone.
She cried and cried and was tired, curled up with her knees in her arms, and sat on a raised wall pier at the corner of the water prison in a daze to rest.
There are only two such wall piers in the entire water prison that are dry, and on the other wall piers is a skeleton with a well-preserved sitting posture, facing Yi Qianying across a wall.
"It's time to eat." A familiar voice sounded, there was only one meal a day in the water prison, and this person was responsible for delivering it every day.
As soon as Yi Qianying heard this voice, she immediately woke up from her daze. She got down from the wall pier, waded through the ankle-deep water and came to the iron gate.
"Brother, is there anyone coming to see me?" Yi Qianying stretched her neck and asked.
"No." The man said impatiently, these days Yi Qianying was very tossed, but these two days have subsided a little. But every time he came to deliver food, Yi Qianying kept asking him the same question.
"No, did you ask me? I gave you something. If it's not enough, I have some more here."
After saying that, Yi Qianying groped around her head, pulled out the last remaining hairpin, and handed it to the man.
The man took it, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said: "I tell you the truth, you should give up! You are now locked in the water prison of Tianshoutang. Do you know where the water prison is? This water prison has only Only those who have committed unforgivable crimes will be imprisoned here, and once they enter, they will only have to wait for death, who would come here to see you!"
Yi Qianying opened her mouth but was unable to utter a word. In fact, this result was not a surprise to her.
Li Qianxiao hated her so much that he wished she would die and disappear from his sight. Yi Qianying originally had some fantasies about Pei Ziao, but it turns out that fantasies are nothing but fantasies.
It was only now that she finally admitted that her situation was hopeless.
"Don't say that I took your money for nothing. I have improved the food for you in the past few days. Just stay here obediently."
Yi Qianying looked at a hard steamed bun, a bowl of soup-like porridge, and a few leaves of green vegetables placed by the iron gate. She gave a wry smile, but kicked all of them over.
"Hey! You really don't know what to do, don't you care about it, so you don't need to eat tomorrow's meal." The food delivery person left cursing.
Yi Qianying raised her head and laughed loudly, which turned into crying.
What a careless move, the whole game is lost!
…
In the imperial city, Prince Yu's Mansion.
"Li Mo, didn't you want to take me to practice, why did you come back here?" Yun Ruoyan followed Li Mo to control the sword light and landed in the courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion.
"I want to marry you, so of course I have to come back to prepare the dowry." Li Mo replied.
When Li Mo came back from the Forest of Giant Trees, he had said that he would prepare a dowry to marry her, but when this matter came to the fore, Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but get nervous.
"But, but we are masters and apprentices. Li Guo has always attached great importance to the law. If one day is a teacher and a lifelong father, my father may have concerns." Yun Ruoyan said rather worriedly.
"Heh, I have never been bound by any etiquette at my age." Li Mo smiled nonchalantly, then took Yun Ruoyan's hand and walked all the way to Li Mo's courtyard.
"That's because your Royal Highness King Yu doesn't eat fireworks in the world. How can we ordinary people and common people compare with you!" Yun Ruoyan muttered non-stop while being dragged away by Li Mo.
The two met Li Luo at the gate of the courtyard. She had obviously received the news of Li Mo's return beforehand, and she came here specially to greet her.
Yun Ruoyan didn't have breakfast when she came back, so Li Mo ordered Li Luo to prepare some snacks.
Then the two walked into the yard hand in hand.
Seeing that Yun Ruoyan still had a worried expression, Li Mo pulled her into his arms, and said softly, "Yan'er, don't think about anything, just wait to be my princess."
After a while, Li Luo came over with some snacks and two bowls of lotus seed soup.
"Why is there such a fresh lotus seed soup in winter?" Yun Ruoyan looked at the small jade bowl that Li Luo brought down from the tray, and asked curiously.
In the small white jade bowl, Biyingying's lotus seed soup is no different from that in summer.
"After Miss Yun came to eat that day, the prince saw that Miss liked it, so he asked the servants to collect some, and kept them in the freezer." Li Luo bowed and said.
"Sister Liluo, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You and I have started to see each other again." Yun Ruoyan stood up and took Liluo's hand. This is the girl her brother Yun Moxiao admires, and she is very likely to be her in the future. Sister-in-law, she has to get this relationship right first.
And not only that, Yun Ruoyan also really likes this strong and stubborn orc woman.
"Miss Liluo." Suddenly a servant's voice came over, "Miss Liluo, are you here?"
"I'm here." Li Luo replied, she was just about to go out to talk, but the little servant was already looking for the sound.
"My lord." The boy suddenly saw Li Mo sitting in the hall, and immediately knelt down to salute in fright, "I don't know when the lord will come back, but I'm being rude."
Li Mo glanced at the boy lightly, and waved him to get up.
"What's the matter, flustered?" Li Luo asked. .
"Master Yun is here." The servant looked at Li Luo but smiled and said, "That's why I came here in a hurry to find the girl."
Seeing the boy's smile and hearing his tone of voice, Yun Ruoyan guessed that her good brother must have come here a lot during this time, and he hadn't given less benefits to the boy on the phone, otherwise he wouldn't have been so active.
"Yan'er, since your brother is here, let's call him over and see you first." Li Mo said.
Yun Ruoyan knew that Li Mo wanted to take this opportunity to tell Yun Moxiao first that the two wanted to get married.
If Yun Ruoyan cares about who thinks the most, it must be her dearest brother, Yun Moxiao.
Yun Ruoyan nodded, but she didn't feel nervous anymore.
The servant gave the order and trotted all the way to call Yun Moxiao.
After a while, Yun Moxiao entered the hall under the leadership of the servant.
"Brother." Yun Moxiao, who was slightly surprised to see Li Mo and Yun Ruoyan by accident, Yun Ruoyan came to him before he had time to speak.
"Ruoyan, why and when did you come back?" Yun Moxiao asked.
"You just arrived, and you're here." Yun Ruoyan twitched the corner of her mouth mischievously towards Li Luo.
"That." Seeing Yun Ruoyan's small movements, Yun Moxiao immediately cleared his throat unnaturally, and said, "I came here to look for Li Luo and wanted her to bring you a message."
"What message?" Yun Ruoyan asked suspiciously.
"I don't know either. Grandpa asked me to give you a message to let you come back some time. He said that he wanted to tell us about some family affairs. As for what it was, he said that he would tell us together after you came back." Yun Mo Xiao said.
As soon as Yun Ruoyan heard that Lin Zainan had something to tell her, she immediately became a little anxious. If it wasn't something very important or urgent, Lin Zainan would never let anyone send her a message.
"Then I'll go with you now." Yun Ruoyan said to Yun Moxiao, and then she turned her head to look at Li Mo, "I'll go to Lin's residence with my brother first, and then go directly to Yun's house."
"Okay, I also have some things to do. You'll be at Yun's house these few days, and I'll go to Lin's house to find your father after I'm done." Li Mo said.
Yun Moxiao had already turned around to leave. When he heard Li Mo suddenly say that he was going to Yunfu to find Yunlan, he subconsciously stopped, turned around and asked, "I don't know why His Royal Highness wants to find my father."
Seeing that Yun Moxiao had already opened his mouth to ask, Li Mo simply said: "This king wants to propose marriage to Lord Yun and marry Yan'er as his wife."
Yunmo Xiao was slightly stunned, and said: "But the prince has already accepted Ruoyan as his apprentice? Why do you want to propose marriage again?"
"Accepting Yan'er as an apprentice is just a stopgap measure." Li Mo explained: "Master and apprentice is just a title, Yan'er and I didn't take it seriously."
"This, how can this not be taken seriously, apprenticeship is a big deal, it is a lifetime honor!"
Yun Moxiao was a little excited. He grew up in the army and lived under military laws and disciplines. He expressed his indifference to Li Mo's indifference to etiquette.
"Brother, let's go to grandpa first, and I'll talk about my business later." Yun Ruoyan gave Li Mo a look, and then forced Yun Moxiao to leave.
The two of them got into Yunfu's carriage all the way except the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, and Yun Moxiao started talking to Yun Ruoyan.
It's also a matter of etiquette and law. He said excitedly that master and apprentice are father and son, father and daughter, and being together is like *.
Yun Ruoyan never knew that this elder brother had such a pedantic and annoying side, so she asked back: "Then human race and beast race cannot be together according to etiquette, why do you still like her, elder brother?"
Yun Ruoyan's words stopped Li Mo from asking, and he choked for a long time before he said, "My situation is different from yours!"
"Why is it different?" Yun Ruoyan continued to retort: "We are two people who are not related by blood, what's the difference?"
"You are masters and apprentices!"
"What's wrong with master and apprentice?" Yun Ruoyan looked at Yunmo Xiao and said very quickly: "Master and apprentice are just titles, you are a son of a rich clan, and elder sister Liluo is a servant of the beast clan. There is a difference between you." It's also your status. You can pursue Sister Liluo regardless of your status, why can't Li Mo and I be together regardless of your status?"
Yun Moxiao is also a person who can speak well, but at the moment when facing his sister's questioning, he is at the end of his speech.
"I can't say no to you." Yun Moxiao said: "But if you want to marry King Yu, you must first obtain the consent of our father, and the current emperor's nod. I'm afraid this is not an easy task."
"Li Mo will take care of these things." Yun Ruoyan pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'll just wait to be my bride."
