crime of heart

Bai Qingyan slowly opened her eyes.At the tentacles, there are wet straws spread on the cold ground.As far as the eyes can see, there are sticks nailed into a wooden frame in all directions, holding him in the middle. 5

This is... a cage?

His whole body was cold, and his lower body was so painful that he almost lost consciousness.Bai Qingyan's original luxurious satin white robe was stained with blood, and it was too damaged to be seen.The bitter cold wind howled past, taking away the last bit of heat from his body. 5

If it was in the past, let alone the cold wind, what is it even if it is an ice knife and frost sword?With the internal strength of Yuyao Crown Prince Bai Qingyan, he could walk in the snow and ice wearing single clothes, a long sword, and a jug of good wine in nine cold days. 13

But now, all his skills were almost destroyed in the tragic battle outside Tudu City.Even with this bit of wind and cold, I couldn't stand it anymore.

Not to mention that fierce whip.Looking down, the clothes around the waist have long been pulled into pieces, mixed in the dirty blood, all sticking to the flesh.

Ji Ning...

Thinking of that person, Bai Qingyan's heart throbbed slightly, and her brows were furrowed.Who would have thought that there would be a time to meet each other after a bad relationship ten years ago?

At that time, when that person appeared in front of him for the first time, he was just a humble scout.At that time, I was only in my teens. Although I was the eldest prince, I was still at the age of joking.Ten years have passed, and Ji Ning is now the great general of the Lang Ye Kingdom, but he himself has been trapped in a cage and has become a prisoner...

"Man'er, don't be afraid, mom is here..." 6

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Bai Qingyan's memories.It was a woman who spoke the Yuyao dialect.He looked around, only to find that apart from his own cage, there were several huge cages around him!In each of them, dozens of Yuyao people in ragged clothes were imprisoned, all of them were unkempt, and many of them were still stained with blood. 1

Yuyao people have always been rich, have they ever seen such a situation?But now... Bai Qingyan's heart suddenly tightened when she thought of this - Yuyao?How can there be any Yuyao!Now he is nothing but a subjugated slave!

"Mom...I'm so cold...Mom..." 8

Sitting in the cage closest to Bai Qingyan, the mother and daughter could see every move clearly.The girl named "Man'er" was seven or eight years old, she was shivering in thin clothes.On her head is a bun in the style of Yuyao, tied with a pair of red-headed ropes.The mother hugged her anxiously and couldn't help comforting her, but the girl was still shivering and screaming cold.

Bai Qingyan immediately unbuttoned her burqa.The burqa had long been glued to the wound on his waist, and when he took it off, it seemed like a layer of flesh had been peeled off.Bai Qingyan clenched her teeth, the wound was dripping with blood, but she didn't even look at it.He knelt on the ground and straightened his arms before he stuffed the burqa into the cage opposite.

"Thank you, thank you...you...you are...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Man'er, look, this is the Crown Prince you most admire!" 6

The mother grabbed her daughter and kowtowed to Bai Qingyan.The girl looked like she couldn't care less about the cold, her eyes lit up.That admiring gaze was like a slap in the face, hard on Bai Qingyan's face.

"I am Bai Qingyan...ashamed of Yuyao's elders..." 4

"No! Your Royal Highness, you led the guards into battle, and in the end the guards were all dead... You were left alone, and you still fought bloody battles to the end. We could see clearly from the tower! It was those bastards from Lang Ye who killed you You've done your best for us!"

As the mother spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed a few more times.Even the little girl Man'er got up and kowtowed together.Unexpectedly, the sound from this side spread to several nearby cages, and then spread far away.Bai Qingyan was originally highly regarded among the Yuyao people, for a while, the Yuyao people who were locked in the cage knelt and kowtowed one after another, and the voices of "Kowtow to His Highness the Crown Prince" came and went one after another.

Bai Qingyan's eyes were filled with hot tears.The people loved him so much, what did he do?Bringing Yuyao's remaining [-] guards into battle, and folding all those good men at the gate of the city, but still failed to stop Lang Ye's attack, and failed to save the subjugated Yuyao?

Those boys are dead!Why can he still live?

Bai Qingyan was so excited that she didn't hear anyone riding past.until a voice sounded,

"What are these Yuyao bastards doing all the noise? Are all your guards dead? Throw the noisy ones behind and feed them to the dogs! Let me see if they dare to make noise!" 2

This voice!It's him! 7

Bai Qingyan raised her head in disbelief.

Ji Ning was dressed in military uniform, riding on a horse, looking down at him from above.That indifferent look was like a steel thorn, as if it pierced his whole body. 1

"Ji Ning..." 5

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Ji Ning slapped the cage with a whip.Although the whip tip just passed him by, it still left a red mark on his face.Bai Qingyan opened her eyes wide, caressing the scar on her face in disbelief.Opposite, Ji Ning's voice came with hatred, 15

"Is this general's name worthy of being shouted by you, a despicable prisoner?!"
