princess from the underworld

Chapter 222 text 231
"Open the door." The voice was gloomy, Zi Yan frowned, it was she who came.

"Crack——" the heavy stone door was opened, and a ray of light was thrown into the dark prison, shining on Zi Yan's face in the corner.

Squint your eyes and look at the comer.

Pulling a half-hearted smile, with a look of indifference: "The Queen Mother actually came here to visit Zi Yan, I am really flattered by the daughters of the people!" That exaggerated expression made the Queen Mother's gloominess even deeper.

Ai Lingdan looked at her, pursed her lips, without saying a word, seeing Zi Yan's smiling face, she suddenly retreated a bit.

"Hey! It's such a good mood, and Concubine Ye Gui is here too. I'm afraid it's not good for Concubine Ye Gui to come to this hidden place without taking a good rest. Don't make any troubles again. Zi Yan is now wearing a sinful body. I can't stand another crime." Zi Yan deliberately raised her voice, looking like she was fooling around, without the appearance that her body was nearly exhausted.

Ai Lingdan coughed a few times, "Miss Ziyan is really capable."

Instantly withdrew her smile, Zi Yan looked at Ai Lingdan, "I don't know what the queen mother said?"

Ai Lingdan sneered, and said: "Miss Ziyan is very capable. Even if she is imprisoned in the sky prison, she can do whatever she wants outside. The Ai family really underestimated you."

"Zi Yan is ignorant, please make it clear to the Queen Mother."

Ye Xuerong had been standing behind Ai Lingdan without saying a word. Hearing this, she couldn't help standing up, and a little palace maid beside her carefully supported her, for fear that she might fall due to weakness.

"Sister An is dead."

Stunned for a moment, Zi Yan turned her face sideways, and covered the wound on her forehead in the dark, "Really?"

"It was the day when all the guards in the prison passed out." Looking up at her, Zi Yan smiled, "What a coincidence, isn't it?"

"What do you have to explain?" Ai Lingdan said, she just wanted to give Ziyan a chance, for some reason, when she saw Ziyan, she always had a sense of familiarity from the bottom of her heart, especially her eyes , one... One should be hidden deep in my mind, but I can't remember it.

"Explanation?" Zi Yan sneered, "What more explanations can there be for women who add crimes to crimes? Isn't the Empress Dowager too lenient and benevolent?"
