Ten months later, the Empress Ji Luoyao came to the gate of the Heavenly Prison again.

It was different from the last time she came here with great fanfare.

This time, there were only her and Shangguan Qing.

In the night, she stood outside the gate of the Heavenly Prison.

Looking at the Heavenly Prison in front of her, which seemed to have not changed at all.

But compared with the last time, her situation and even her mentality had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The last time she came here was because of the outbreak of the Eight Kings Rebellion.

At that time, she wanted to ask Jiang Hao to give her advice.

But she was rejected.

After that, she never came to the Heavenly Prison again.

Even though the old Shangshu advised her many times, she refused without hesitation.

In fact, she was not unaware of the reason why she was rejected by Jiang Hao.

It was just that it was extremely difficult for her to bow her head.

Now looking back, it seemed reasonable for her to be rejected by Jiang Hao with her attitude at that time.

After all, if she was Jiang Hao, she would probably not agree to it if they were living in different places.

Moreover, the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty gradually collapsed, and it seemed to have started from that time.

The Eight Kings Rebellion seemed to be the starting point of everything.

At this moment, she couldn't help but ask herself, if she had bowed to Jiang Hao at that time and asked Jiang Hao to give her advice, would all this not have happened?

Or a little earlier, if she hadn't thrown Jiang Hao into the Heavenly Prison, and Jiang Hao had coordinated everything for her, would the Great Zhou Dynasty still be the peaceful and prosperous country, and would her position as the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty be as stable as Mount Tai?

Unfortunately, there is no if...

All of this has already happened.

And there is no regret medicine in this world, let alone time reversal.

"The last time I stood in front of the Heavenly Prison, I secretly swore to myself that I would never come to this place again. I didn't expect... Now I have to slap myself in the face."

Ji Luoyao chuckled, suddenly turned around, and said to Shangguan Qing behind her.

Shangguan Qing opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a while.

She could naturally hear that the empress was mocking herself, mocking herself, and no matter what she said, it seemed inappropriate.

"Qing'er, tell me, if I bow to him now, will he agree to help me?"

Following closely, Ji Luoyao suddenly asked again.

Shangguan Qing was slightly stunned. Facing Ji Luoyao's slightly nervous eyes, she hesitated for a moment, and then answered: "I don't know, after all... Duke Wei has been imprisoned here for a year."

"Yes, a year, maybe... he has changed too."

Ji Luoyao muttered to himself.

She looked up at the sky. Time flies, the world changes, and nothing remains unchanged.

Just like they had such a good relationship at the beginning, but now they have become enemies.

But now there is only this one way left, no matter what, she has to try it.

Even if it is not for herself, but just for the foundation that the Ji family has inherited for so many years, she has to try it.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, finally made up her mind, and then walked towards the sky prison step by step.

In fact, compared with before, the sky prison has changed a little.

For example, there are fewer people inside.

Whether it is prisoners or jailers, there are fewer.

After all, the world is in chaos, the power of the court is declining, and the three major departments are no longer powerful, so naturally they are not able to capture so many prisoners.

As for the fewer jailers, it is because the army is besieging the city, the situation in the imperial capital is tense, and all departments and institutions of the court have been drawn to assist in defending the city, and the sky prison is no exception.

However, Tao Gongwang, the warden of the sky prison, has not changed much. He is still as humble and submissive as before.

Although he was surprised by the late-night visit of the empress, he quickly brought people to greet him, and then asked with a shameless face: "Your Majesty, are you going to the eighteenth floor of the sky prison to find the Duke of Weiguo?"

As soon as he said this, he saw the empress's face change.

Shangguan Qing, who was following behind, glared at him fiercely after hearing this: "If you don't say it, no one will think you are dumb!"

Tao Gongwang realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly slapped his mouth to admit his mistake, and then said: "Then I don't know where your majesty is going, I will lead the way for you."

Ji Luoyao: "..."

She found that this guy was indeed a bit annoying.

Why didn't someone else be the warden of the Heavenly Prison?

Then, under the leadership of Tao Gongwang, the two of them soon came to the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Prison again.

Just like the last time, Shangguan Qing and Tao Gongwang were still guarding outside, and Ji Luoyao walked in alone.

It was late at night, and Jiang Hao was naturally sleeping soundly.

Although the shadow demon had secretly informed him of Ji Luoyao's arrival, Jiang Hao did not intend to pay attention.Yes.

Mainly, he could guess the purpose of Ji Luoyao coming here at this time.

He didn't want to pay attention to her. Instead of pretending to be nice to her, he might as well have a good sleep.

Ji Luoyao found that he was sleeping soundly, and did not disturb him, but stood quietly beside him.

This stop lasted for a whole night.

The next morning, when Jiang Hao woke up from his sleep, he unexpectedly found that Ji Luoyao was still here.

He could only pretend to have just discovered it, and asked with a little surprise: "Why are you here?"

"Why, you don't even want to call me Your Majesty?"

Ji Luoyao asked expressionlessly.

Jiang Hao shrugged and asked indifferently: "So... you want to punish me for a great crime of disrespect? This time it is not false, and I am willing to admit it."

Seeing Jiang Hao's nonchalant look, Ji Luoyao's pupils shrank slightly, and she felt annoyed for no reason.

However, thinking of the purpose of her trip, she suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and then said, "I came here this time to beg... beg you to help me once."

"Beg me?"

Jiang Hao raised his head and asked with a smile, "How do you beg?"

Ji Luoyao was stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect Jiang Hao to ask this.

How do you beg?

She has already lowered her posture like this, and waited quietly for a whole night. Isn't this enough?

It's impossible for her to kneel down and beg humbly!

If she really wants her to do this, it would be better to kill her directly.

"Jiang Hao, you want me to bow my head, I have already bowed my head, what else do you want?"

Ji Luoyao said with an ugly face.

Jiang Hao sneered, shook his head and said: "I didn't ask you to do anything, and you don't have to do anything. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just leave. You can be your Queen of the Great Zhou, and I can be my prisoner in the Heavenly Prison. We can keep our distance from each other. This is the best choice!"

Hearing this, Ji Luoyao's eyes twisted, and then she gritted her teeth and took the initiative to say: "Jiang Hao, I know you have resentment in your heart, but this matter is related to the survival of the Great Zhou. Please help me once, and help me for the last time!"

Jiang Hao raised his head and looked her up and down. It seems that he didn't expect Ji Luoyao to really take the initiative to ask for help.

From this, it can be seen that she has indeed been forced into a desperate situation, otherwise she would never come to ask him.

However, Jiang Hao did not have any sympathy or pity, and did not hesitate at all. He quickly looked at the other party and answered word by word: "I'm sorry, I can't help!"
