"1, 2, 3..."

Xiao Xiao hugged her knees, lying on the ground watching the candles bright and dark.He remembered that there was an experiment in modern times, which was to lock a person in an anechoic chamber. The longest endurance time of this person was only 45 minutes, and it would collapse if it was more than a second.Naturally, this dungeon cannot reach the anechoic room, but in the eyes of Xiao Xiao, who is physically and mentally traumatized, it is already more terrifying than the anechoic room.Looking at the unknown darkness, he can't help but wonder if he is the only one in this dungeon, and if everyone else has been executed.And can he get out?Xiao Xiao didn't know, he didn't even hold out hope that he could have a whole body.

The people in the prison are the relatives of the emperor. In order to preserve the face of the royal family, the emperor will not only cover up their real crimes, but also leave their dead bodies and give them more poisoned wine or white silk.And those people know that they can save their own clansmen by committing suicide, so most of them will go to Huangquan willingly, and even thank the emperor for his generosity.

And what about this dungeon?

All the prisoners in the dungeon were sent to the royal city from various cities and executed under the order of the emperor for murder and robbery. They were all common people. Naturally, the emperor would deal with it no matter how cruel he was, so Xiao Xiao really didn't have a whole body. idea.

"I'm afraid the gods will be hard to save this time." Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao smiled wryly and said in a low voice.

"What crime did you kid commit?"

Xiao Xiao was still pessimistic, startled by the sudden voice: "Who are you?"

"I'm next door to you," said the man. "This dungeon has been empty for almost half a year. How did you get in?"

half a year?

Although Xiao Xiao felt a little relieved because someone appeared, she was still a little puzzled when she heard that he had been here for at least half a year: "Have you been here for half a year?"

"You kid, why don't you just ask questions?" The man became unhappy, so the dungeon became quiet again.

"I'm just curious," Xiao Xiao still couldn't bear the silence, and explained, "I was framed."

"You were framed too?"

Hearing a rustling sound, the man's voice suddenly became much closer, and he continued to ask excitedly: "Who brought you in? Is it the Empress Rong!"

It turned out that this person was just a small guard in the palace, but one day when he was on duty, he happened to meet Empress Rong who was pregnant, and Empress Rong said that he had smashed into the fetus in her womb and put him in a dungeon .If you want to add a crime, why do you have no excuses?But the guard did not commit a heinous crime, so there was no trial by the Ministry of Punishment, and he was just kept in custody.This kind of person who has offended the master has always seen when the master calms down, and then releases it when he is in a good mood, but who would have thought that Empress Rong would die?He didn't get the order from above, so this person was locked up until he met Xiao Xiao today.

"Almost everyone in the dungeon has died in the past six months, and I'm probably the only one left here," the guard sighed faintly, and said sadly, "I don't know how many times I want to die, but I just can't do it. After all, my parents outside thought I was on duty in the palace. What would they think if I died here? How sad would they be? Just grit your teeth every day and count the days by candles..."

Xiao Xiao bit her lower lip, and followed the guard and sighed.But he still had to tell the guards about it: "Empress Rong died of dystocia two months ago."

The guard's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he repeated tremblingly: "Dead?"

Empress Rong is dead, so who will let him out?

Xiao Xiao knew what he was thinking, after all, he is a sympathetic person now, so Xiao Xiao comforted him: "If I have a chance to go out, I will definitely report to the Ministry of Punishment and let the emperor order you to be released."

The guards remained silent, after all, no one would believe that someone could get out of this ghostly place.Xiao Xiao still wanted to say something, but at this moment there were footsteps, so he nervously looked at the place where he came——

"Are you seriously injured?"

Liu Ziming waited until the jailer opened the cell door, then walked quickly to Xiao Xiao, carefully helped Xiao Xiao up, then looked at his sweating profusely and made him sit sideways and lean against the wall with distress.The guard behind him tactfully handed over the food in his hand. Although Liu Ziming was dissatisfied with Xiao Xiao eating in such an environment, he had no choice but to open the food box and hand the rice bowl to Xiao Xiao because he was afraid that Xiao Xiao would be hurt again.It was not easy for him to touch the wounds on his body, so Liu Ziming handed several white jade porcelain bottles to Xiao Xiao's hands, and while picking up food for Xiao Xiao, he explained to him what medicines were in these porcelain bottles.

"The biggest bottle is for external use. Apply it directly to the affected area, and it will be cured within two days." Liu Ziming picked up the soup cup and helped Xiao Xiao cool the soup, "

The other two are taken internally, and they will hurt the muscles and bones for a hundred days, so it is definitely not enough to only treat external injuries. "

"Thank you." Xiao Xiao said sincerely.

"What else do we need to thank you for?" Liu Ziming gently touched Xiao Xiao's head, "Your file has been handed over to Dali Temple Secretary, Mr. Song has always been upright, you don't have to worry about him making a misjudgment. Today Father When the emperor came to see me, I read your files, and the evidence seemed convincing, but none of them could stand up to scrutiny. The so-called personal evidence was nothing more than the princess’s personal maid saw someone passing by, and the physical evidence was a piece of paper that said you Sneak into the note planned by Xisan Institute. Not to mention these hard-to-discern evidences, it is a question of how you, a powerless literati, can escape so many guards in the palace. So don't worry, a month at most , you can get out of here."

Xiao Xiao was very moved. To be honest, he never thought that Liu Ziming could do this for him.Although Xiao Xiao also regards Liu Ziming as a friend, it is different from the kind of friend who can talk about everything.Just like he was able to tell Liu Kaize that he was from another world without any scruples, it was because he had no interests involved with Liu Kaize, and he knew that Liu Kaize would not harm him.But Liu Ziming is different, perhaps because emperors are unfathomable in various modern histories, Xiao Xiao will always subconsciously keep a distance from Liu Ziming, and will never do anything beyond the bottom line.However, after a year of acquaintance, Liu Ziming first provided protection for himself who was hunted down, and then tried his best to run around for him who was trapped. There is really no way for him to ignore this kind of intention.Maybe he will be betrayed in the future, but Liu Ziming has saved himself twice, so it's worth it.

At this time, Xiao Xiao's cell was also cleaned, the thatch was thrown out, and clean bedding was spread.Liu Ziming helped him lie down on the quilt again, and threw a piece of silver to Yu Zu, asking him to take good care of Xiao Xiao.

"Eat three meals a day, at least one meat and one vegetable." Liu Ziming had to go to Dali Temple to find Mr. Song, so he planned to leave, "I'll go first, you must take care."

Xiao Xiao nodded in response, and when the light from the candlestick held by the jailer disappeared, she knew that he was the only one left.But at this moment, the voice of the guard next door sounded again, making Xiao Xiao remember that there was another person here.

"Do you know the prince?" The guard asked in shock, and then said to himself: "Yes, it's the prince's voice, I've heard it before."

"I met by chance, and I was invited by him when I came to Wangcheng." Xiao Xiao, who knew that she could go out, felt at ease, and her tone was less anxious than before, "But I didn't expect him to come, I thought he would come." It's going to be someone else."

As soon as Xiao Xiao finished speaking, this "other person" suddenly appeared in the corridor, making him think he was hallucinating.The guard didn't seem to see it, and was still curiously asking who this "other person" was.

"Of course it's me, the old man." Liu Kaize walked to the guard's cell, squinting his eyes to look at the sloppy man, "I'm good at martial arts, why, I was arrested for murder?"

The aura released by Liu Kaize made the guards involuntarily use the little internal force left in his body to resist. Fortunately, Xiao Xiao opened his mouth at this time, otherwise he might vomit blood.Xiao Xiaoxian has watched many prison robbery scenes and knows Liu Kaize's martial arts skills, so he doesn't care about how he got in at all, but instead asks about his arithmetic.

"Who knows about my imprisonment?" Xiao Xiao became a little anxious when she thought about her physics class tomorrow, "Imperial College should resume class tomorrow. I still have a second-year physics class, who can replace me?"

"You still want to go to class?" Liu Kaize was dumbfounded, and he had a new understanding of Xiao Xiao's professionalism.

But Xiao Xiao didn't realize it: "Of course I have to think about it. Liu Ziming said that I will only be able to go out in about a month, and this August is only halfway through, which means that the monthly exams for the supervisors will be affected in these two months! Since I As a teacher, you should be responsible to your students. Although I don’t want to go to jail, since it happened, I still have to think about remedial measures.”

"Are you a doctor of Guozijian?" The guard was even more shocked, "You are only in your teens by the sound of your voice. Since when is Dr. Guozijian still so young?"

"Uh, I came in relatively late." Xiao Xiao counted the time, probably this person would have been locked up here when she came in.

The guard sighed in his heart, even though he didn't know what crime Xiao Xiao had committed, he still believed that Xiao Xiao was murdered by a traitor.And Liu Kaize looked at Xiao Xiao with a complicated expression: "Old man, I'm also a person who has traveled the world, I really have never seen you like this!"

Xiao Xiao took it as a compliment, and smiled shamelessly at Liu Kaize.Then he talked about his arrangement: "Needless to say for the first-year students, I believe that Dr. Zheng and Assistant Professor Zhao are enough; it is mainly a physics elective course for the second grade, and the content of this class cannot be thoroughly grasped by self-study, so If it doesn’t work, please ask Dr. Zheng to take a leave of absence for me and stop this course. As for the imprisonment, if there is something to explain, just say yes, I don’t care..."

Liu Kaize listened to Xiao Xiao's nagging unrequitedly, and then when Xiao Xiao stopped breathing, he immediately ran away with oil on his feet, and couldn't even yell back.The guard who consciously missed many new things asked Xiao Xiao curiously, and Xiao Xiao, who was not sleepy, chatted with him from arithmetic to physics.
