Hearing this, Night Emperor Shang's smile did not change as he replied, "It's nothing, I just found it a little interesting. You really are very interesting. It's not in vain that I like you. Just taking care of the Shui family? "No problem. I'm just a bored person anyway."

The smile on Night Emperor Shang's face brightened once more.

However, Shui Ruo didn't feel the slightest bit of gentleness from him, only indifference.

"I'm sorry, but if you find it very troublesome, you can choose to say no. I'll be able to go out soon anyway, right? At that time, I will do everything myself. "

Shui Long lowered his head and said apologetically.

"Well, out? "It doesn't seem possible."

Night Emperor frowned, his tone solemn.

"What do you mean?" The water flowed slowly, not understanding.

"Literally. After all, I came here today to tell you not to leave the Celestial Prison too early. "Don't argue with the emperor and the empress either. Even if you argue back now that the crown prince isn't here, you won't be able to win."

Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo, warning him word by word.

"Won't win?" Shui You's voice trembled. If she was confident that she could get rid of this accusation, then after Nightmare said this, she was truly anxious and afraid.

Originally, her plan was to leave as soon as possible so that the Shui Family members would not be caught red-handed. Although she had also thought that it would be difficult, she still hoped that Night Emperor would help. However, at this moment, this person took the initiative to tell her that it was impossible. Furthermore, before he came, the solemn expression on Emperor Ye Xiu's face and the lack of confidence in his words were very strange.

After all, it was true that the Crown Princess had miscarried. There was a witness asking Wan-Er.

Although he pushed her, no one could prove it to him.

On top of that, right now she had lost her royal grandson. No matter who was right or wrong, it was impossible for her to retreat unscathed.

When he thought about this, Shui You's expression turned even worse.

Seeing Shui Ruo's bad complexion, Night Emperor Shang hurriedly continued, "Don't worry, as long as you can stay here safely and stably, I will think of a way for you. Furthermore, as long as we wait for the crown prince to return, even if he doesn't have to think of a way, he will be able to easily save you. "

Emperor Shang looked at Shui Ruo and comforted him.

"Stop comforting me." Shui let out a long sigh, his brows knitted tightly. No matter what, she couldn't die for such a thing. She had no other choice but to escape.

"This is not comfort, it is truth. All these years, the crown prince has always loved the woman in his dreams, which is you. Therefore, he has always been pure and clean. To put it bluntly, he has always been as good as jade! "

"Even so … Wait? What did you say? " Shui Long was about to refute something when he suddenly reacted. Raising his head, he looked at Night Emperor Shang, his eyes brimming with joy.

"As you have heard, the Crown Prince has been very loyal to you all these years. That's why there is a problem with the matter of the Crown Princess getting pregnant. As for what the problem was, he would have to wait for the Crown Prince to come back and tell him himself. An Xin, I've already sent him a letter and will probably be back soon. "

Night Emperor Shang looked at the water in the water, his eyes filled with gentleness.

It was only after Shui Long had listened to what the man said that he finally felt completely at ease.

If what Night Emperor Shang said was true, then she really could be saved!

At that time, it was also the end of Shangguan Yun.

Heh! The Crown Princess wasn't sharing the same bed as the Crown Prince, but she had a child. If he told her about it, wouldn't he be laughing at her? No, how could this be said with a laugh? Even the nine noble clans were the good fortune of the Crown Princess.

Thinking of this, Shui Ruo started to look forward to it more and more.

"Alright, I've already said what I needed to say. In short, stay here peacefully these few days. Whether it's the emperor's interrogation or the empress's interrogation, all you have to do is keep quiet or say you've wronged him. Don't say anything else." Don't provoke them. Most of the time, silence is the best accusation. "

With these words, Night Emperor Shang left.

Shui sat leisurely on the ground, repeatedly pondering the words of the Night Emperor. Silence is the best accusation.

Maybe it's true?

Since that was the case, he might as well trust him once more. Emperor Shang would never harm her.

Shui Yuehan felt completely at ease as he thought to himself.

Looking at the scattered light outside the window, he slowly closed his eyes.

Shui Ruo had a dream. In the dream, the fragrant grass and the clear water, the youth that she had always doted on, gazed at her from afar with a gentle expression, as if he was saying, "Thank you."

She was very happy. Just as she was about to step forward, she saw that the youth had suddenly jumped into the lake. The lake water was ice-cold and splashed all over her body.

"Slut!" Get up quickly! "

The cold touch was still there. The girl's sharp voice woke Ben up from his slumber.

The water sat up, only to see the head of water on his own legs, drip, drip, did not finish.

The bone-piercing coldness in his dream had yet to dissipate. Shui Yuehan wiped his own hair. Indeed, it was wet.

"Oh, you finally decided to wake up?" The woman laughed complacently when she saw the water slowly awaken.

Shui Ruo listened and looked in the direction of the girl. There was a hint of light, and she could still see it clearly.

The woman had long hair reaching her waist, and her body was a delicate yellow. Her figure was exquisite, and her face was even more beautiful. But sadly, the twisted expression on his face completely destroyed his original sweetness.

[Isn't this woman the one who framed her in the day?

He looked at Wan-Er and frowned. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "You poured water on my head?"

"Yeah. "Why?" Wan-Er answered straightforwardly. As soon as she finished her sentence, she clapped twice. Then, she saw the light outside the cell door.

The oil lamp was lifted up by her palm. At the same time, Shui Long could also see the woman's back clearly.

Behind her stood the two prison heads from the Sky Prison. Next to them were the torture instruments used for capital punishment.

Seeing this, Shui You's expression changed.

"Wan'er, what are you doing in the Sky Prison so late at night?" The sound of the water was very cold. He asked as he looked at Wan'er.

Wan-Er smiled when she heard that. She squatted down and looked at Shui Long. She then spoke in her ear, "I still remember how you humiliated me at the banquet." So, what do you think I came here for? "

"Do you know that the private punishment is against the law?" Shui Ruo frowned. Looking at those torture instruments, his heart turned cold.

She … He hated pain, but he also hated torture tools. Both of these things would remind her of that terrible life.

In the dark, one had to live a life that had been arranged by others. Then, one would do things for others and use killing as the only way to survive.

That was her beginning.

Ever since she had been selected, that had been her everything. He did everything he could to kill everyone, just so that he could train his skills, so that he wouldn't be treated as trash like the others.

When faced with the choice of life or death, most people would become selfish.

At that time, she was the same.

However, even though he had abandoned his own humanity at that time, after surviving, he would still feel fear and shame from that life.

She gradually began to run away.

Whether it was the torture instruments or the pain, she didn't want to try again. That memory was even more so.

Pow!

Just as Shui Ruo was meditating, the sound of a whip hitting the ground rang out.

Wan-Er seemed to see the fear in Shui Ruo's eyes, so she hit him on the ground.

The voice was sudden, and the sound of water lulling could be heard as his body trembled.

Seeing that Shui Ruo seemed to be afraid, he smiled at Wan'er and ordered the two people behind him: "You two, tie her to the torture rack."

"This …" The two jailer hesitated.

"What is it? You won't listen to me? " Wan-Er was unhappy.

"Miss Xiang, in reply, this woman is an important prisoner. Tomorrow, she will be sent to the throne room to be interrogated. If she is injured, it would be hard for us to explain ourselves."

"Ha!" What was there to say? This woman had killed the unborn child of the Crown Princess, the grandson of this country. Tomorrow was the day she would die. The interrogation was just a formality. Who would care about her injuries? It seems to me that you guys are looking down on me? "

Wan-Er looked at the two guards coldly.

The two jailers didn't dare to be negligent when they heard this. He hurriedly said, "No, no." Let's tie him up for you, don't be angry. "

With that, the two of them walked towards the water.

When Shui Ruo saw this, his eyes widened slightly. As he saw the person walking over, a murderous intent rose in his heart. However, as the two approached each other, they recalled the words spoken by Night Emperor Shang.

He couldn't act rashly!

If she were to injure the head of the prison at this moment, she would definitely be convicted. She said that she wanted to run away in fear of the consequences. At that time, who knows if she would really be finished.

Shui Long gritted her teeth as she thought of this. She could only accept her fate and close her eyes, allowing the two of them to tie her up.

What are you going to do when you get tied up and put in front of someone you hate?

Wan-Er looked at the tied up Wan-Er with a crazy smile on her face.

He raised the whip and hit Shui You's body.

"Slut!" I'll let you embarrass me! "

"Slut!" I'll show you the limelight! "

"I'll beat you to death! Let's see if you still dare to appear in front of me! "

"She's clearly the daughter of a smelly merchant. Why did she come here?"

Wan-Er was cursing him while she was hitting him.

Shui Ruo closed her eyes. What came back to her mind was the past that she didn't want to recall the most.

Slowly, Shui Yuehan's face turned pale. He didn't even know what he was saying to Wan'er.

The night was long, and no one could say when this torture would end.

In comparison to the pain from being in the water for a long time, Shangguan Yun was the opposite.

Shangguan Yun who had succeeded in her scheme lay on her bed, listening to her personal maid recite the gifts she had received today, a smug look appearing on her face.

"The empress sent over ten thousand years old ginseng, a pair of jade ruyi, six snow satin, and a pot of Phoenix Nest Flower. Li Shangshu gave him a silver hairpin, three golden phoenix hairpins and ten thousand taels of gold. Zhang Fei brought over an ancient painting. And there's also Eunuch Li. "

"Elder sister's child is gone, why are you so happy?" Outside, the man's mocking voice sounded, interrupting the conversation in the room.

In the room, Shangguan Yun who was listening to the orders waved her hand, signaling her maidservant to go down first.

The young maid saw the gesture and respectfully left.

When the young maid left, Shangguan Yun slowly sat up. Looking at Shangguan Bing standing at the door, he smiled gently and asked, "Why is A Jin here?"

"Sister, don't interrupt, you haven't answered me yet. The child has already fallen, so why are you still so happy, big sister? "

Shangguan Bing's eyes turned cold. After walking in, she closed the door and asked Shangguan Yun.

Being questioned, Shangguan Yun's face turned awkward for a moment, but it quickly turned into anger: "What do you mean by that? Which of your eyes have you seen me happy? "

"If you're unhappy, why would you care about the gifts others sent you?" Shangguan Qing sneered.

"I …" Shangguan Yun was speechless.

"You have nothing to say? I have nothing to say, so I'll say it for you. You don't even have a child from His Highness the Crown Prince, do you? " Shangguan Qing looked at Shangguan Yun and said confidently.

When Shangguan Yun heard this. His face turned pale and he sat up straight, fuming, "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! Do you know that if others were to hear your words, they would definitely die! "

"Humph!" Shangguan Han scoffed coldly.

When Shangguan Yun saw this, he rolled his eyes and stood up weakly. He walked to the front of the guard, trembled, straightened his body, and said with grievance, "Ah Han, don't blame me. You know how sad it is for your sister in the Crown Prince's Palace. That woman's existence is a threat to my position in the family. If she doesn't die, then I will be the one to die in the future.
