dust song

Chu Lichen uttered in surprise, "Dead?"

"That's right, they are about to die. Those who entered the dungeon of the palace did not come out alive." He Yi narrowed his eyes as he spoke, and asked dangerously: "Mr. Man, is he half dead now?"

Chu Lichen waved his hand, and immediately refused: "I, I don't have this idea..."

Although Chu Lichen was angry with Qiu Wen for mistreating him, he never thought of killing Qiu Wen, so let alone go to the dungeon to watch Qiu Wen's jokes.

Seeing that Chu Lichen was not fooled, He Yi quickly changed the topic, "Hey, the people locked in the dungeon of the palace, without food and drink every day, and tortured, hang their lives with only a bowl of bitter medicine, it's really pitiful. If the servant girl below is imprisoned in this dungeon, even if she is going to die, I should give some food to her, so that she can go on the road full of food."

When Chu Lichen heard this, and saw that He Yi's sad face didn't seem fake, he couldn't help feeling a little compassionate, "You are really kind, but I don't have anything to eat there."

He Yi secretly rejoiced that Chu Lichen was not smart.

"It's easy, just go to the back kitchen to get some when you go to the dungeon. If Mr. Chu doesn't mind, can I guide you?"

Seeing the sincerity of He Yi's words, Chu Lichen completely let go of his vigilance. Anyway, he just went to the dungeon to deliver some food, so it shouldn't be a problem, so Chu Lichen nodded and agreed without thinking about anything.

On the way leading Chu Lichen to the dungeon, He Yi couldn't hide the triumphant smile on his face.

When Chu Lichen came out from the back kitchen, he was already carrying a box of snacks in his hand. He followed He Yi to a remote place in the palace. There were guards outside the door, and it looked like a dungeon.

Just now, when he was watching at the door, there were screams from inside from time to time. Chu Lichen felt his legs go weak, and he immediately turned around and left.

But He Yi would not give him this chance, so he grabbed Chu Lichen's wrist and walked over, only to see him take out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it in the hand of the guard, "The two of us belong to Dongyuan, Excuse me, brother, let's go in and see someone, and come out in a while."

When the guard heard that he was a male favorite living in Dongyuan, he took another look at the expensive clothes on Chu Lichen's body, thinking it was a celebrity in front of the prince, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, put away the money, and looked through Chu Lichen's clothes Behind the lunch box in Chen's hand, he nodded and said, "Go in."

Chu Lichen looked up at the plaque on the top, and followed He Yi in staggeringly.

As soon as he entered, Chu Lichen tightened his neck. The dungeon was already dark and damp, and now that it was winter, the cold wind inside was piercing his bones.

Moreover, the brick floor here is bumpy, and the more you go inside, the fewer torches are lit on the wall, so you have to be careful when walking on the road.

Suddenly, Chu Lichen seemed to have discovered something, and immediately stopped.

He Yi followed his line of sight curiously, and saw in the prison cell, a woman whose hands had been cut off, was lying on the ground panting desperately, because she had no eyeballs, she could only shake her head back and forth to find the sound , and the iron chain tied around her neck rattled as she turned her head.

He Yi clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Hey, isn't this Li Nanny? Mr. Chu has good eyesight, and he saw her right away."

Chu Lichen's voice trembled a little: "She...how did she become like this?"

"Wasn't Young Master Chu there at the time? You should have known that Nanny Li would become like this."

Chu Lichen lowered his head and pursed his lips in silence. He was beaten to death by Nanny Li in the study that day. At that time, he did have the idea of ​​letting Nanny Li die for a moment, and he was even very grateful to the prince for saving him. I vented my anger on him, but seeing Li Nanny like this today, he suddenly felt a little weird for some reason.

Obviously it was Nanny Li who hurt her at the beginning, but now that she has avenged her, why does she still feel uncomfortable in her heart.

He Yi urged from the front: "Okay, Mr. Chu, let's not delay, time is running out."

Chu Lichen responded, and continued to follow He Yi into the depths of the cell. After a while, they found the cell where Qiu Wen was.

And when Chu Lichen had just walked to the prison door, Qiu Wen inside rushed up like crazy, she gripped the pillar of the prison door hard, her fingertips were bleeding and she yelled without feeling it at all: " Young Master! Young Master! This servant knows that he is wrong, please intercede with the prince and let this servant go out!"

Chu Lichen turned his head to look at He Yi, his eyes were full of bewilderment.

He Yi patted Chu Lichen's shoulder, "Master Chu, don't be afraid, just hand her the snack."

Qiu Wen was very familiar with this voice, and through the dim candlelight, she saw that He Yi was standing next to Li Chen, she couldn't help being taken aback, "You..."

He Yi put his finger on his lips and made a silent gesture.

"Young Master Chu kindly came to see you. You can eat this plate of dim sum with peace of mind. Afterwards, he will plead with the prince to save you."

"Ah? I didn't..." Chu Lichen was in a hurry, not to mention that he never agreed to this, not to mention how could he be able to speak in front of the prince.

"Okay...I'll eat...after eating...you can go out right away..." As soon as he heard that he could get out of the dungeon, Qiu Wen desperately grabbed the snacks on the plate and stuffed them into his mouth.

As she ate, she still slurred her thanks, "Thank you...thank you young master! Thank you..."

In an instant, the sound stopped abruptly, and the gurgling blood quickly escaped from Qiu Wen's mouth, soaking most of the clothes on his chest in a blink of an eye.

Chu Lichen asked He Yi in a panic, "What happened to her!?"

He Yi smiled evilly and remained silent, but when Chu Lichen turned his head again, Qiu Wen had already fallen to the ground and was lifeless.

His body fell to the ground with a bang, like a boulder fell from his heart.

He Yi closed his eyes, and said quietly: "Young Master Chu, no matter how much you hate this maid, you shouldn't have poisoned her to death in the dungeon... But the prince loves you so much, he shouldn't blame you, anyway, you can die Just a maid."

Chu Lichen felt as if his heart was being beaten hard, he shook his head in disbelief and said, "I didn't...I didn't poison her!"

He Yi had a relieved expression on his face, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm already out of breath."

.......

After Murong Chengdu returned to the palace, a guard came to report to him that Chu Lichen had just poisoned a maid named Qiuwen to death in the dungeon.

After hearing this, Murong Chengdu didn't get angry or angry, instead he laughed wildly, "He actually killed someone?"

Shao Lin knew that it was impossible for Chu Lichen to do this, he frowned and asked, "My lord, do you want to investigate the person behind it?"

"No need." Murong Chengdu said: "If the king really wanted to know, he would have ordered the maid to be tortured long ago. It's not a big deal at all, just kill it if you kill it."

Murong Chengdu sneered and said in his heart, so afraid that the king will find out who is instigating and abusing Chu Lichen behind his back?Such a timid person can't achieve anything.

It's a pity, it's the first time someone plotted against him, and I don't know how the little beggar will be scared. Murong Chengdu thought it was funny, "You send someone to the dungeon to bring him here."

Chu Lichen's footsteps were flimsy, and he fell on the ground several times before he came out of the dungeon. He shook his head in a daze, and kept repeating: "It's not me...it's not me..."

As soon as he left the house, He Yi was nowhere to be seen, so he covered his chest and vomited a lot.

At this time, a guard walked up to Chu Lichen, "Young Master Chu, the prince already knows about the dungeon, and I'm sending you to the palace at this moment."

Chu Lichen shuddered inexplicably when he heard the word "Prince", he looked back at the dungeon, it seemed that he would return here soon, and he didn't know if the prince would believe him and listen to his explanation.

Chu Lichen anxiously followed the guards into the hall, and when he saw Murong Chengdu's face, Chu Lichen fell to his knees with a plop, bowed his head like a child who had done something wrong, and did not speak.

When Murong Chengdu saw Chu Lichen's dirty clothes, he was very displeased, "What happened to him?"

Chu Lichen was startled, the prince didn't ask him about the dungeon, instead he cared about himself first?

This made Chu Lichen feel more guilty, "Accidentally fell..."

Murong Chengdu originally wanted to continue asking about the maid, but when he saw Chu Lichen who was about to cry, he suddenly felt reluctance, so he waved to Chu Lichen, "Come here, sit beside me .”
