marrying a concubine

In the government office cell, Liusu, Li Xiulan, and Abi were locked in the same cell.

The dark wind blows continuously from the ground. Although it is August, the cell is very gloomy and cold, just like Fengcheng in December. The humidity is heavy, and the smell of decay and mold wafts in the air, which makes the tip of the nose uncomfortable.

The three of them didn't speak much, Li Xiulan seemed to be frightened, she became a little silly, and Abi called her several times before she realized it.

Liusu recalled the whole incident in detail, something was wrong, why did Guo Yi die after eating carp?

"Sister Xiulan, is there really no problem with carp? Why did Mr. Guo die suddenly after eating it?" Abi asked Li Xiulan puzzled.

Li Xiulan's face was pale, her eyes drifted, as if she was remembering something, she hung her head between her knees in pain, her hands folded her head in a defensive posture, her voice tremblingly floated out from between her knees, "It's not me, I don't I know, I didn't kill..."

Abi and Liusu looked at each other, and frowned suspiciously. Sister Xiulan's expression was not right, could it be that she really did something wrong?Liusu held her hand. Although she didn't live in the restaurant for too long, and she didn't know everyone in the restaurant too well, she still believed that Li Xiulan, who was kind by nature, would not do such a thing. A good official with a good reputation, fair and honest, she has no reason to harm him.

"Sister Xiulan, no one said that you killed people, don't be afraid, if you really didn't do it, the yamen has no evidence, and they won't wrong good people." Liusu said calmly, her voice was soft and steady, like a deep pool of calm water. , invisibly made people feel at ease, and calmed her chaotic heart.

Li Xiulan raised her head, with fear in her floating eyes, she grabbed Tassel's hand and said, "Young Madam, you have to trust me, I really didn't harm Master Guo, yes, last year my husband hooked up with Dalin's wife and was discovered by Dalin, I killed Dalin by mistake during the dispute, and Mr. Guo sentenced him to death. I was very angry for a while, and I hated Mr. Guo very much. I wanted to kill him. Later, after careful enlightenment by the lady, I have forgotten about this incident. Husband deserves what he deserved, no wonder Master Guo, Young Madam, I really don’t understand why Master Guo died after eating carp, the way he did it was the same as usual, and he didn’t add anything that shouldn’t be added.”

Abi was silent for a while, although Li Xiulan said that she let go of this matter, if someone insists on this point, she will have a motive to kill, and the situation is very unfavorable to them. Who is so vicious? Frame their family?

Liusu comforted Li Xiulan, and suddenly heard a commotion outside, "See you, my lord!"

"Mrs. Feng, Lord Guo died suddenly, and this king was forced to do so. Please rest assured that the Yamen will definitely find out the truth of this matter and return the Feng family's innocence." King Xiu said politely, with a slightly apologetic voice.

Liusu stared, and asked in a deep voice: "My lord, what is the cause of Master Guo's death?"

King Xiu glanced at Li Xiulan and said, "Master Guo died of poisoning. It has been confirmed that the carp contains severe poison."

"Impossible, I have never done it!" Li Xiulan immediately retorted.

Liusu comforted her with his eyes, and looked at King Xiu, a mocking smile curled up on the cold girl's lips, "My lord, you condescended to come to the cell on purpose, why don't you come here to tell the girl so that she can believe that the yamen will Return my Feng family's innocence?"

King Xiu's expression was startled, and he was secretly surprised. Such an intelligent woman is different from Feng Haitang's brilliance, fierceness and arrogance, but a kind of elegance and introverted calmness and tranquility. A pair of very penetrating eyes, looked at quietly by her, makes people feel that any thought in the heart can't be hidden from such eyes, and they are completely seen through.This was beyond his expectations. He thought that this seemingly ordinary and unremarkable Mrs. Feng would be easier to control.

"This king came to visit Mrs. Feng with good intentions. It seems that you have misunderstood this king." King Xiu still said gently, his voice slightly cold.

"Really?" Liusu smiled slowly, elegant and calm, with penetrating eyes, "Why is it not my aunt and my mother who came to see us, but you, the lord?"

Now that the accident happened, it is impossible for Feng Haitang and Mrs. Feng not to visit them, unless someone outside deliberately blocked them.

King Xiu was silent, looking at her steadfastly, Liusu looked back without fear, and asked with a smile: "My lord, if you have other things, please say it's all right, why beat around the bush?"

"It seems that the young lady has indeed misunderstood the king. There is a lot of humidity in the prison. Please take care, young lady Feng!" King Xiu walked away with gentle brows.

Coming and going in a hurry, Abi frowned suspiciously and asked: "Young Madam, do you doubt him?"

Liusu smiled, "I didn't suspect it at first, but his behavior was indeed suspicious, and he wanted to cover it up. I think he probably wanted to ask me about Nan Jin. I saw through it, so he simply left."

Liusu coughed a few times uncomfortably. The harsh environment stimulated her trachea, which was somewhat blocked. Abi took off her coat and put it on her, but was stopped by Tassel. Come on, I'll be fine."

Tassel had to wear it, "Thank you, Abi!"

In the evening, the yamen sent dinner, which was obviously ordered by someone. Unlike the cold and hard food in other cells, the food was hot, and there was a bowl of chicken soup.Abi used to pull out the hairpin, and there was a thin silver needle hidden in it. After trying them one by one, there was no problem before feeding it to Tassel.

The night is more difficult, the cold wind keeps blowing out from the ground, making people shiver, even in December.Although the straw is dry, it is not very clean. Occasionally, mice and cockroaches crawl over it, which is very scary.

Although Liusu was not raised pampered, she was cared for meticulously by Jinxiu. The environment in the dungeon is so harsh, her already unhealthy body quickly reacted to the environment. , bursts of cold sweat came out of his forehead, soaking his clothes.Abi and Li Xiulan were very worried, and Li Xiulan took off her coat and wrapped it around her to keep her warm.

"Young madam, don't you scare us?" Abi kept pouring her internal energy into her body to relieve her discomfort. As the night got deeper, the temperature on Tassel's forehead became hotter and hotter, and her breath was hot to the touch. But the blood was gone from his face.Liusu couldn't help complaining about her frail body, she was too careless, but there was nothing she could do, no matter how she cheered up, it didn't help, she became groggy.

Abi patted on the cell door, called the Yamen servant, and hurriedly ordered: "Go and call for a doctor, our young lady has a fever!"

"In the middle of the night, where do I call for a doctor?" The clerk glanced at the tassels rolled up on the ground, it didn't look too serious, and said casually, "The woman who came into the cell was not feeling well here or there, what's wrong with having a fever? The important thing is, it will be fine tomorrow, don't make noise in the middle of the night, if you enter here, you are a prisoner, you still think you are as high as outside?"

"What did you say?" Abi was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, the clerk snorted coldly and walked away, no matter what Abi called her, she didn't respond.

Abi was so anxious that she punched the cell door fiercely, causing blood mist to splash everywhere.

The night is getting thicker...the cold wind is blowing...
