away from the heart

179 Chapter 3
There was no sky in the prison, and a coolness rose from the ground, mixed with the ubiquitous stench and bloody smell in the air, it was so cold to the bone.From time to time, rustling noises could be heard among the tattered straw mats, and one could not tell whether it was bugs or mice crawling around; occasionally, a few screams of madness or pain could be heard from a distance. .

Chuyue was wrapped in prison clothes, huddled in a corner, shivering from the cold.After entering this prison, time seems to have stopped, leaving only boundless cold and fear.She couldn't figure it out, why the world was turned upside down overnight and everything changed?It was clear that she was still in Lingxi Garden a moment ago, waiting happily for Xue Yao to come over, lift her hijab, and make her his wife again.But in the blink of an eye, Na Xi's life and death are uncertain; Dong Shi suddenly changed his personality and accused her of poisoning Na Xi;

She is no longer qualified to think about Xue Yao.It was she who killed Xue Yao's beloved brother, and she didn't know anything about it. What face would she have to think about him?But the more this happened, the more I couldn't stop thinking.She was really terrified and sad, she wished he could be by her side now...

It’s so cold, no, if I go on like this, I’ll freeze to death here before I die unjustly... Chuyue thought to herself, even though she’s already cold and tired, she’s about to be unable to hold on anymore, she’s still trying to get up. , I didn't notice that someone secretly put a cloak in the corner.

"Come on! Come on!" Chuyue slammed on the cell door, trying to attract the attention of the cell boss.

"What are you shouting for? Are you keeping people from sleeping?" The prison chief stretched, and staggered over.

"I..." Chuyue suddenly covered her stomach, "I seem to have been poisoned, my stomach hurts..." After speaking, she squatted on the ground in pain.

"Really?" The prison chief was not sure whether Chuyue really had stomach pains or just a play on the occasion, but the princess in front of him had a lot of background, so he couldn't be easily neglected.

Xue Yao, who was hiding in the dark at this time, had already seen through Chuyue's little trick, and smiled softly.

"I am Xizhao's sworn enemy, if you die here so easily, you will have to bear the blame." Chuyue said sternly.

"Come here! Go call the imperial physician and take her out first." The cell boss said as he opened the cell door.

Chuyue smiled slyly, but found the cloak in the corner, and Xue Yao's face suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.

She recognized that it was Xue Yao's cloak.

"Xue Yao! Did you come to see me?" Chuyue shouted to the surroundings in surprise.

"Hey? What's the matter with you? Are you pretending to be sick?" The prison chief saw that Chuyue was acting, and became angry from embarrassment, and re-locked the cell door that had just been opened.

"Don't go!" Chuyue yelled at the prisoner who was leaving, and slapped the iron bars with both hands, "I was indeed poisoned, and it was the poison of the birthstone. Go and tell Father, just tell me It's a dream, father must know what I'm talking about, this matter is of great importance, if you delay, be careful that your life will be lost."

But the head of the prison left without looking back, Chuyue was the only person left in the prison that day, and the shadow of Xue Yao that flashed in front of his eyes just now was gone.

Chuyue smiled wryly: What am I thinking about, he doesn't want to see me again in his life, right?She closed her eyes and let herself slowly fall into the boundless darkness.While half asleep and half awake, the familiar figure appeared in front of Chuyue again, she wanted to catch it but was in vain.

If she fell asleep, would she have those weird dreams again?Seeing her shivering from the cold, Xue Yao couldn't bear it anymore, and walked out slowly from the dark place.
