There was a low dungeon on the left, still stained with blood.
There seemed to be a figure curled up inside, with disheveled hair, injuries all over his body, and his breathing was weaker than Yue'er's.
Nian Nian carefully placed Jian Yue'er on the ground and asked her to lean aside, "Wait for me."
Yue'er made a low sound from her throat and leaned against the iron door to rest.
Nian Nian glanced at the lock on the iron railing and struck it hard twice with a dagger. Even though it was a dagger that could cut through iron like clay, it could not cut through the key. It was not at the same level as the chain that was tied to Yue'er just now.
Nian Nian snorted secretly and pulled out the hairpin from her hair. Fortunately, Grandma Huan taught her simple lock-picking skills, so she could open the lock very easily even though it was not too complicated.
Nian Nian fiddled with the keyhole twice, pushed and lifted it, and with a 'click' sound, the words on the iron door fell down.
Yue'er looked at it and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Nian Nian bent over and quickly entered the prison, looking at the unconscious person lying on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and brushed away the messy hair that covered his face, revealing a face with fine lines but still handsome.
Nian Nian frowned, feeling that his nose and lips looked familiar, similar to someone else.
However, this man was seriously injured. Nian Nian checked his pulse and discovered that this man had deep internal strength, but was controlled by external forces. In addition, he was tortured many times and his five internal organs were damaged, so he became unconscious.
Nian Nian took out a silver needle and pricked his head. The man frowned in pain. After a while, he suddenly groaned and slowly woke up.
"How are you?" Nian Nian pulled out the needle and moved it in front of him.
The middle-aged man coughed slightly, and suddenly there was a sweet sensation in his throat, and he spurted a mouthful of blood forward.
Fortunately, Nian Nian had good eyesight and quick hands. She quickly took a step back and then patted her chest.
The middle-aged man looked weak, but his eyes were staring at Nian Nian sharply, "Who are you?"
"I'm here to save her." Nian Nian reached out and pointed at Yue'er.
"Miss Yue'er?" The middle-aged man seemed to know her. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Niannian, "Miss, you..."
Nian Nian waved her hand, "Yue'er asked me to rescue you together, but you also know where this place is. It's already very hard for me to save her alone, let alone you. Both of you are too injured to even get out of this dungeon." All the strength is gone.”
Only then did Yue'er realize that she seemed... to have really made things difficult for her.
She wanted to say something, but as soon as her lips moved, the pain made her almost faint.
On the contrary, it was the middle-aged man who spoke first, "I understand, girl, you just need to save Miss Yue'er and get out. My old bones don't matter anymore, but if you get out safely, please bring me a message." Su Guogong's Mansion. Remind Su Guogong and the Right Prime Minister to tell the Emperor that the Jiang family and Prince Lie's Mansion are planning to rebel."
Yes, Prince Lie’s Mansion.
The place where they are now is the private prison of Prince Lie's Mansion, and Prince Lie is the only king with a different surname in Tianyu Kingdom.
Because of his outstanding military achievements, he will be respected by the emperor.
He personally led people to eliminate the robbery case before she came to Tianyu Kingdom. Because it was Bai Suyi who gave him the idea, he was very optimistic about Bai Suoyi. During Baiguan's teaching examination, he did not make things difficult for him at all, and even mocked Marquis Wu Yuan for wanting to deal with Bai Liuyi.
Niannian's affection for him doubled at that time.
However, Bai Liuyi and Beibei later found out that the so-called bandits who killed innocent people at that time were none other than Prince Lie.
He has long been ambitious, stationed troops secretly, wanted to cause trouble, and was the real man behind the poisoning of the Crown Princess five years ago against the royal family.
Niannian really couldn't imagine that such a general who looked so righteous could have such rebellious thoughts.
She sighed, thinking of Princess Lie and the Crown Prince whom she had seen not long ago. They were clearly in high spirits and must have been impatient for a long time.
"...I'm afraid there are traitors in all the four major families. Please be careful..." The middle-aged man coughed lightly and added.
Nian Nian was stunned, looked at him strangely, and said, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man was stunned, but lowered his head, his face full of shame.
"If you don't tell me who you are, how can people believe me?" Nian Nian added another sentence, and she had a very strong feeling.
"...Tong Tianyu."
Niannian's eyes suddenly widened and she gasped, "Tong Tianyu? Head of the Tong family? Aren't you dead?"
How can it be? Wasn't Tong Weilin's father... killed in that tragedy? Why are you still alive in front of her now
Tong Tianyu smiled bitterly, "I don't know. I really thought I was going to die at the time. I was stabbed several times and lost all my internal strength. But when I woke up, I was already here." He said, frowning , "Probably, they found a dead person similar to me to replace me."
Nian Nian still couldn't come to her senses. She had never seen Tong Tianyu, but the person in front of her...
She suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered why she felt that his nose and lips seemed familiar to her just now. Yes, he is very similar to Tong Weilin.
Nian Nian believed it a little bit, but she was just wondering, "Why did they have to lock you up here in such a sudden and unexpected way?"
"As a century-old family, the Tong family always has something they want." Tong Tianyu didn't say what it was specifically.
He looked at Nian Nian and urged, "You hurry up, it's not safe here. I'm afraid they will have someone come to this private prison again after a while. When you get out... remember to take my words with you."
Nian Nian said with some embarrassment, "I think... let's go out together." Tong Weilin's father, she couldn't leave him here.
Although his identity has not yet been determined, it will become clear soon after leaving this private prison.
"I took your pulse just now and found that your internal strength has been suppressed by external force. I will give you acupuncture now. If you have internal strength, even if nothing else can help, at least you will have no problem walking out of here. You Don’t worry, Prince Lie’s Mansion is in chaos now, and there’s still a high chance that we can escape by taking advantage of the opportunity.”
"You..." Tong Tianyu looked at her in astonishment.
Nian Nian ignored him and just pricked him with several needles.
Tong Tianyu felt a bit of pain and could only concentrate. He felt that his body was gradually changing. There seemed to be a warm current in his body. He slowly found that his body had strength and the pain in his body had also reduced a lot.
After a while, Nian Nian took back the needle and said to him, "That's it for now, let's go out first."
"Okay." Tong Tianyu stood up and took a few steps. He was indeed much better.
Nian Nian quickly came to the door and carried Yue'er on her back again. Just as the three of them were about to leave, there was a sudden sound of the stone door being opened at the door.
