The cell was dark and cramped, and it was filled with a strange stench.
Li Xiao leaned against the wall and sat on the cold hard floor. She hugged her knees and buried her head between them. She had been in this position for almost two hours.
She was thinking about how she could escape this time.
Lady Liu sat on the soft cushion that Wang Yi had prepared for her. She held a cup of pregnancy stabilizing medicine and took small sips.
Even in this dark and dirty environment, she still sat elegantly and calmly, as if she was sitting at the head of her own kang bed.
The dim light was unable to suppress her grace and beauty. As long as there was light, her beauty could be displayed.
Exquisite, enchanting, charming, and delicate.
Before Wang Yi left, he had already instructed the jailer to take good care of Lady Liu and not neglect her.
Li Xiao did not receive such treatment, even though she was in the same cell as Lady Liu.
"You … … What's your name again?"
Lady Liu finished drinking the medicine and placed it by the cell door. She stared blankly at the corridor outside for a while before asking.
"Li Xiao."
"Which little?
Xiao as in daybreak? "Lady Liu's voice was soft and soft, making people feel weak all over.
When the two prison guards who were sitting on the steps of the cell heard this, they revealed an evil expression and looked towards the cell they were in. After all, they had stayed in this place for three years, and it was unlikely that they would come across such beautiful prison food.
"Little as in big." Li Xiao's voice was buried between her knees. When it came out, it was a buzzing sound.
"Are you afraid?" Lady Liu's voice was gentle and had a soothing magic.
Li Xiao looked up at Lady Liu. Lady Liu smiled at her, but there was bitterness in her smile.
"Did you kill him?" Lady Liu asked after a long time.
Li Xiao shook her head.
Ever since she was young, she understood that no matter how you explained, no one would believe you.
"…" Lady Liu leaned back. Her beautiful face was hidden in the shadows and her expression couldn't be seen clearly.
Later, Lady Liu was taken away for questioning.
Li Xiao leaned against the wall in a daze.
In the original trajectory of the future, would Liu Yunan also die?
Or … was it because she changed Wang Yi's fate and caused Liu Yunan's death?
There would never be an answer to that question.
She pursed her lips. Really … Perhaps she shouldn't have meddled in other people's business. Now, she was afraid that she would become a scapegoat and be beheaded.
Mom, I'm sorry … In the end, I didn't have a good ending.
Back then, you used death to warn me, but I didn't listen.
…
The next morning, when Li Xiao, who was curled up in the corner of the cell, opened her eyes, Lady Liu had already returned.
She got up and rubbed her eyes. She found Wang Yi leaning against the iron bars outside the cell. Lady Liu was sitting inside the cell. The two of them leaned against each other with the bars between them and fell asleep.
Wang Yi's hair was a bit messy. The dim cell enhanced his three-dimensional facial features. Even though his expression was relaxed in his sleep, his heroic spirit was still strong.
The mottled stubble on his chin showed how tired and tired he was. However, when he leaned against the wooden pillar separating the prison cell and leaned against Madam Liu, this kind of decadent weariness turned into deep affection and melancholy gentleness.
Li Xiao's heart ached.
She really envied Lady Liu. She was so beautiful and lovable, and … she had someone to rely on.
With the weak candlelight in the cell, she carefully looked at Wang Yi.
This young man had a strong face, but the corners of his lips and eyebrows revealed a gentle aura. This was the appearance of someone who grew up in a good family, in a good environment, and under love.
She lowered her head and looked at her coarse and loose clothes. She pursed her lips and hugged herself even tighter.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. Two guards wearing dark red clothes and black riding boots walked to the door of the cell.
One of them fiercely kicked Wang Yi's leg.
Wang Yi snorted and immediately jumped up. His hand was already on the sword at his waist.
"You didn't go back to sleep all night and didn't do your job here.
How did your father give birth to a plaything like you? "The man reprimanded Wang Yi without any trace of politeness.
Under the backlight, the man's face could not be seen. He only felt that he was exceptionally tall and was half a head taller than Wang Yi.
Wang Yi saw the person in front of him clearly. Not only did he not get angry, but he also scratched his head and mumbled something in embarrassment. No one heard it clearly.
The man who kicked him snorted and looked at Wang Yi from head to toe. He said unhappily, "Go back and wash your face, eat something, and report to Lord Chen.
There are still a lot of things to do today. If you want to help her, you have to cheer up. "
"Okay." Wang Yi nodded. He took a step out and stopped. He turned his head and looked at Lady Liu.
Lady Liu said softly, "Go, I'm fine."
Only then did Wang Yi make a sound of agreement and leave reluctantly.
The man who kicked him looked at Wang Yi's appearance and snorted coldly again. Then, he turned his head and looked at Lady Liu.
"Are you satisfied now?" The man looked at Lady Liu and said in an unfriendly tone.
At this moment, he turned sideways. Li Xiao could see his appearance clearly. His eyebrows were very long and connected in the middle.
His facial features were delicate and pretty. His eyes were big and round, and his lips were slightly thick, which made him look like he was slightly pouting. He should have had the appearance of a delicate and pretty boy, but because of his insufferably arrogant expression, this face had a bit more of a manly aura.
Lady Liu pursed her lips and lowered her head. She seemed to not know what to say, but she also seemed to have nowhere to vent her grievances.
Hana Mio only snorted and did not continue.
Li Xiao looked at them and thought, 'It seems like they all know each other.'
"You!" Hana Mio turned her head and suddenly shouted at Li Xiao, "What's your name?"
Li Xiao was shocked.
"Li Xiao."
"Come here!
Come with me. "After saying this, he turned and waved his hand at the prison guard.
The jailer hurried over and opened the cell door.
Li Xiao hesitated for a moment. Although her mind was filled with scenes of torture, under Hana Mio's intense gaze, she gritted her teeth and stood up. Then, she walked out of the cell.
The beautiful man was carrying a heavy chain in his hand, but when he saw Li Xiao's thin neck and arms, he simply gave up. "Let's go, let's go. Let's walk in front."
Li Xiao lowered her head and responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"Xu Ting, why don't we just take her to the Admiral?"
After walking out of the dungeon, another man standing beside Hana Mio looked around. Seeing that there was no one else around, he suggested in a low voice.
Xu Ting turned his head and glared at him. "You want to cause trouble for the Admiral, don't you?
The Admiral said that we are here to assist Lord Chen. If you interfere like this, do you want the Admiral to fight with Lord Chen for the case? "
The man choked. Although he was a little unhappy, he did not dare to say anything else.
The three of them left the cell and got into the carriage. Li Xiao, who had not slept well all night, began to feel sleepy.
Xu Ting sat opposite her and kept looking at her.
She clearly had a pair of big and bright eyes. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised and even had a hint of enchanting. She looked very beautiful. Why did she cover herself like this?
When the little girl lowered her head, the wide hat almost covered her entire face.
What was she trying to hide by covering herself so tightly?
Could it be that there was something behind her appearance that could not be revealed?
