After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

This time Mrs. Xue was no longer envious, she patted her chest tightly, and at the same time looked at Liu Yunxiang with gloating.

"Third younger brother and sister, the Queen Mother asked you to serve the Buddha on her behalf, but she thinks highly of you. Don't be disrespectful. You should happily wait in front of the mansion tomorrow."

After Mrs. Xue finished speaking, she looked at the old lady again, "Three years ago, Aunt Yan was sent to a nunnery, and the Queen Mother rewarded the Hou Mansion with a hundred taels of gold. I wonder if this time..."

"Shut up!" The old lady glared at Mr. Xue.

Liu Yunxiang no longer had the time to worry about this, so he left the old lady and the others behind and hurried back to the side courtyard.

The courtyard door closed and she fell to the ground.

She is not afraid of only five months to live, because she can plan a lot in this little time. After all, everything depends on people.

But when she was suddenly sent to a nunnery and died there, all her plans were in vain.

She didn't come back to this life just to change her way of death!

"Madam..." Jin Yan was also panicked, "Sooner or later, you won't be able to hide your pregnancy when you get to the nunnery."

At that time, Madam will be accused of lewdness. If the Queen Mother is convicted, she will definitely not escape death.

"How about we go back to the Vice Minister's Mansion to ask Madam for help? Oh, no, with Master's temper, I'm afraid I'll beat you to death, and Madam hates you, so she won't stop you. What should I do? Who can help? and you?"

"Who can help me... who..."

Liu Yunxiang suddenly thought of Yan Mu and hurriedly asked Jinyan to help her stand up, "Let's go find him!"

Arriving at Orchid Garden, Mu Jin said that Yan Mu had not come back for several days, and even if he waited for one night, he might not be able to wait for anyone.

"Where is he?"

"East Factory."

A place like Dongchang is most notorious for its imperial edict, where living people go in and bones come out, and everyone gets chills down their spines just thinking about it.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't wait, so he had to take Jinyan to the East Factory, but the guards were so tight that he couldn't get in, and no one told him anything.

This wait, until it gets dark.

While Liu Yunxiang was anxious, a carriage came out. Liu Yunxiang didn't know who was sitting in the car, but he was afraid of missing Yan Mu, so he had no choice but to go up and ask, "Is this Yan Siqing in the car?"

The carriage stopped, and after a moment, a young man dressed as a eunuch got out of the carriage.

"Are you looking for Master Qi?"

Liu Yunxiang was slightly startled, then nodded quickly, "Yes."

In Dongchang, in addition to the governor, he can also be called "master", and Yan Mu is probably the only one.

"You come with me."

With that said, the little eunuch walked forward, and the carriage also left. The wind blew the car curtains, and Liu Yunxiang only caught a glimpse of crimson.

"Madam, this is Dongchang." Jinyan grabbed Liu Yunxiang's arm and shook his head at her, "Let's think of another way."

Liu Yunxiang patted Jin Yan's hand to reassure her, "Don't be afraid, we can't eat people here."

They followed the young eunuch into the Dongchang Yamen. Instead of walking inside, they turned onto a verandah, passed through a dark and narrow alley, and arrived outside the imperial prison.

There were torches all around, and there was a dark entrance.

"Ma'am, please."

"Is he in there?"

The little eunuch nodded, "Yes."

Liu Yunxiang took a breath, asked Jin Yan to wait outside, and then followed the eunuch in. As soon as she stepped inside, a fishy smell hit her face, making her almost vomit.

The prison is underground. Walking down the steps, it gets colder and darker as you go. You can't see what's in front of you at all. I don't know if it was the sound of wind or something else, but the scream was so shrill that it made people feel scared.

The little eunuch put up a lantern in front, and when Liu Yunxiang stepped on the last step, he felt sticky, as if there was something on the ground.

She couldn't see clearly what the layout was or how big it was. She could only see a few vague lights in the darkness.

She had been to ordinary prisons. This place was different from those cells. It was like entering the eighteenth level of hell.

At this moment, a sudden scream made Liu Yunxiang shiver.

The little eunuch looked back at her, as if he couldn't bear it, but said nothing and continued to lead the way.

Screaming one after another, Liu Yunxiang stabilized his mind, followed the little eunuch step by step, and finally came to a room with bright light.

First of all, I saw a large stove in the room. The charcoal fire in the stove was red, and the inside of the stove was also red. She followed the bright light and suddenly saw a man tied to a wooden frame, his hair disheveled, his upper body naked, and his flesh and blood were beaten to pieces.

A guard wearing flying fish uniforms held a red-hot iron in his hand and waved it in front of the man's eyes: "Who is your master? Do you want to tell me?"

The man sneered lightly, "This is the only thing you can do with all the eighteen kinds of torture in Dongchang?"

In anger, the Jin Yiwei suddenly pressed the iron to the man's chest.

The hot iron makes a sizzling sound of burning flesh, making your scalp numb. Liu Yunxiang had never seen this before, so he took a step back. He wanted to turn his eyes, but he caught a glimpse of several corpses piled outside the execution room. Each of them died tragically. The blood flowed to the ground, gathered together, and flowed towards the place where Liu Yunxiang landed.

She was so frightened that she took a few steps back. When she looked closely, she saw that there was blood all over her feet. Some of it had dried and stuck to the ground, with a layer of black and purple, and some of it had not dried completely and was greasy.

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and tried not to spit it out.

At this time, the Jin Yiwei walked to the corner, and Liu Yunxiang saw that there was a large grand master's chair there, with a person sitting on it with his legs crossed, wearing a black brocade robe, and he was closing the door to meditate.

It was Yan Mu.
