"Shen Lang, what should we do now?" Princess Yongning said.

Up to now, no one from Cheng Wang and Princess Liu came to meet her, even if it was just to talk, comfort her and let her wait. As long as it was a word, Princess Yongning's heart could be settled. But no, from beginning to end, after the joint trial of the third division, she didn't see anyone of her own. Even if she moved out of the identity of King Cheng and Princess Liu, these people paid no attention to her. They looked at her as if they were looking at a dying person.

Princess Yongning finally felt afraid and uncertain about the future. In her 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's mansion and tortured those people with all kinds of strange methods. Listening to their screams, she saw that they could not survive or die. The more frightened they shouted, the more proud she was, and enjoyed the pleasure of manipulating people's life and death.

However, now, she has become a prisoner, waiting for others to decide her life and death. What a ridiculous thing, let her think all this is almost a dream.

Without becoming king, Princess Liu, or the identity of a princess, she had to seize the only straw, shenyurong. She pushed Shen Yurong across the fence: "Shen Lang, you are talking!"

Shenyurong turned his head and looked at her faintly. For some reason, his dead gray eyes suddenly frightened Princess Yongning. She unconsciously loosened her hand holding shenyurong's sleeve.

"There is no way." Shenyurong said, "I can't help it."

Princess Yongning was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that she just reacted to what shenyurong was saying. She screamed, "how can it be impossible? When things get so far, how can you say you have no way? You're lying to me, aren't you? You still have a way. We won't die, right, Shen Lang?!"

She was eager and pleading, and her expression of fear and madness fell into Shen Yurong's eyes. Somehow, Shen Yurong's heart flashed a trace of happiness.

As if to deliberately defeat her, Shen Yurong said, "I didn't lie to you. I really have no way. Admit your fate, Yongning, this is karma."

……

Princess Yongning and shenyurong are locked up in the prison of the Ministry of punishment. No one is allowed to visit the dead prisoners.

In fangfeiyuan, Jiang Li sat at the table and looked out the window in a trance.

There was a light rain in the sky. February came to an end. In early March, there began to be more rain in Yanjing city. The intermittent rain hit the window edge, and some fine raindrops hit people, cold and soft. After a dry winter, the land is also wet, and has given birth to new green.

There was no other news from the palace. I think Princess Liu and King Cheng are at their wit's end. Princess Yongning and shenyurong can't escape this disaster. What she initially wanted to do seems to have been done. Wash away the unwarranted charges on yourself, find out the real murderer of Xue Zhao, publicize the evil deeds of the murderer to the world, and avenge the Xue family. She did all these things and even saved her father's life. But when all this was done, she did not feel relieved and relaxed. Instead, I feel sad.

She didn't know how long her life would last, and she didn't know her father. Everything that happened in the past can't be retrieved, and Xue Fangfei really doesn't exist in the world. In her whole life, she didn't want to marry and have children again. Her dream in her youth was to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, and now she is the head and assistant daughter, which is even more impossible to complete. To live is not to live according to one's own wishes. It seems strange and boring.

"Girl," tong'er came to close the window and said, "do you want to send something to the government house?"

When Jiang Li went to the government house to see Ji Heng before, she asked Ji Heng to rescue Jiang Youyao from Princess Yongning's private prison. Although the last thing I did was different from what I imagined, I did it in the end. Jiang Li thought about it and didn't know what else she had to give Ji Heng in return. There is no shortage of gold and silver treasures, and the stunning beauty Jiang Li can't be found here.

Along the way, her hostility, vigilance and suspicion towards Ji Heng had long vanished. Instead, there is trust that she didn't find herself, and maybe even a little dependence.

"Think again." Jiang Li said, "I'll go to yaoguangzhu first and have something to say to my father."

Jiang Yuanbai has not gone to court since the joint trial of the third division of the Ministry of punishment ended, and he has been with Jiang Youyao in the house all day. His heart was also extremely guilty. He always felt that if he had not been so cold to Jiang Youyao at the beginning, Jiang Youyao would not have run out of the house in anger and encountered such disasters. Now that people are crazy, Jiang Yuanbai often accompanies her, as if she is compensating for something.

When I arrived at yaoguangzhu, I really saw Jiang Yuanbai in the yard at a glance.

Jiang Yuanbai sat on the edge of the yard, watching Jiang Youyao trance. Jiang Youyao sat on the soft stool surrounded by servant girls, staring at the sky blankly. Her eye was dug out and wrapped with a thick white cloth, leaving only the other eye. Her eyes were also dull and chaotic. She didn't know what time it was, and she didn't know everyone.

Jiang Li's footsteps stopped at the edge of the yard and said, "father."

Jiang Yuanbai followed the sound and looked over. When he saw it was Jiang Li, he said, "ah Li, why are you here?"

"Let me see my third sister and my father." Jiang Li said and came forward. Jiang Youyao was unaware of Jiang Li's appearance. She was immersed in her own world, and no one could disturb her. She no longer had the appearance of arrogance and willfulness.

Jiang Yuanbai sighed. The Jiang family has been used to the wind and water these years, but it has become scattered in just a year. Ji shuran died, and the remaining two daughters, Jiang Li, became strange and polite, and Jiang Youyao went crazy directly. He suddenly felt powerless. Even his official career now seemed to be confused.

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 Ministry of punishment, death row prisoners cannot be visited." Jiang Li said, "I want to see Princess Yongning. I hope my father can talk to the people in the Ministry of punishment and make an exception."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuanbai frowned and asked, "what are you doing in the dungeon to see Princess Yongning?"

"Princess Yongning needs to uncover the answers to some questions for me, even 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'll think of another way."

Her tone was mild, but what she said was "if I can't, I'll think of another way" rather than "if I can't".

Jiang Yuanbai stared at Jiang Li. The daughter's inner stubbornness was also surprising and rare to him, and she was very assertive, and she was not completely honest with his father.

She kept her secret, but would not tell him the father. Jiang Yuanbai felt very weak, but he couldn't ask Jiang Li to do anything. When Jiang Li was young, because of his mistakes, his daughter suffered and became estranged from him. Because of his negligence, Jiang Li's biological mother was also killed. If it were anyone, he would not restore his former intimacy to his father. It was he who pushed Jiang Li out of his life, and now he would swallow this already brewed bitter fruit alone.

So he had to say, "OK, I'll tell you, just go."

As Jiang Yuanbai, it is not a big problem to say hello to the people of the Ministry of punishment and let his daughter see a death row prisoner. In particular, the world knows that Princess Yongning killed the third miss of the Jiang family, and Jiang Li will not take the opportunity to do anything.

Jiang Li smiled, "thank you, father." Looking at Jiang Youyao again, "my father wants to take care of my third sister, so I won't bother." Turn around and leave.

Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li's back and smiled bitterly. What was it that came to see him? He came to see Jiang Youyao specially. It was clear that he wanted to tell him about it. This daughter... She really looks like the Ye family. The deal is a deal, and there is a clear distinction between kindness and resentment.

But it's better to be smart, so as not to be deceived. Jiang Yuanbai sighed.

……

That evening, when Jiang Yuanbai's people said that they had greeted the people of the Ministry of punishment and Jiang Li could go to the Ministry of punishment to "visit the prison" at any time, Jiang Li decided to go out.

Snow White looked outside: "girl, it's still raining outside, or forget it?"

"Tomorrow is about to be beheaded," said Jiang Li. "If you don't go today, you won't have a chance tomorrow."

She said so firmly that the two servant girls would no longer dissuade. Just in my heart, I wonder why I have to go to the prison to see shenyurong and Princess Yongning? Although Princess Yongning harmed Jiang Youyao, Jiang Li and Jiang Youyao were not close, so there was no need to take the lead for Jiang Youyao. Xue Fangfei, Xue Zhao and Jiang Li didn't know each other, and they didn't go to Princess Yongning because of their business.

But the master's words naturally have the master's own reason. Tong'er thought, and suddenly saw Jiang Li combing her hair. She was stunned and said, "how can you comb your hair by yourself, girl? Come on, maid."

"No." Jiang Li had inserted the last hairpin and said, "I've combed it."

She stood up, and tong'er and Bai Xue couldn't help being stunned.

Jiang Li has always liked to wear cyan, and her clothes are simple and light, and her makeup is not powdered. However, Jiang Li tonight seems to have changed a person. She painted Luo Dai and brushed a layer of powder, which made her skin look more and more like coagulation, and her mouth fat was also light red. A pair of eyes are still as clear as water, but there are more things you can't see. She wore a moon white embroidered jacket, an imperial brocade skirt, a cloud bun, an agate hairpin, and two drops of ruby earrings with small grains of rice on her earlobes, which made her bright and strange.

It is clear that the eyebrows and eyes are still familiar, but it seems that there is a perfect mood of a girl overnight, which is unique to some beauties. Standing here, even the night rain has become a foil of smoke, which makes people unable to open their eyes.

Tong'er murmured, "the maidservant can't recognize the girl."

Although Jiang Li has always shown something different from before, for a long time, tong'er is also used to it. But today's tong'er, this feeling is particularly strong. She only feels that the person in front of her is not Miss Jiang Er, but some other woman, a beautiful color that the Jiang family has never had.

"Let's go." Jiang Li smiled, "don't wait too late." She pushed the door and went out.

The rain did not stop, Jiang Li walked slowly, and the splashed muddy water soiled the skirt corners. Once upon a time, when she was xuefangfei, she liked to dress like this. For the sake of pleasing herself, she was willing to decorate herself extraordinarily beautiful, looking at the admiration in Shen Yurong's eyes. However, tonight, she dressed up familiar again, not to please others, but just to remind them.

Xue Fangfei can live well, in another way, not as they think. The moment before Princess Yongning strangled her, she was still persuading her to provide for a golden family in her next life. Tonight, she told Princess Yongning that she had got what she wanted, but she didn't know how Princess Yongning would look now?

The gratitude and resentment of previous life should always be settled.
