The head of the Yamen Guards touched his chin and shook it.
The commander of the Jinyi Guards was also very scary.
The conductor made the master look at the beauty no differently than he looked at the stones and weeds on the roadside.
It seemed that in his eyes, such a beautiful woman was really no different from the air.
There wasn't even a trace of warmth in his eyes.
If he hadn't been able to speak and breathe, he would have thought this was a cold dead body.
However, it is precisely this kind of cruelty and ruthlessness that earns him the title of Commander of the Imperial Guard, a knife without emotions that only serves the emperor to eradicate dissidents.
It was night at that time, and the cell was dark, with only a little moonlight coming in through the tall window.
Zhang Ruoyi was lying on a pile of smelly wheat straw.
Before she could understand her situation, when she moved, her whole body woke up because of the pain.
She turned around and saw two people lying not far away.
They had disheveled hair and couldn't tell whether they were male or female.
She didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and there was dust everywhere on the windows and beams.
It was so dirty that I couldn't bear to look at it.
In addition to a musty smell that hadn't been opened for a long time, there were also all kinds of weird smells in the house.
How can anyone live in a place like this?
She regretted it to death.
If she had known better, she would not have harmed people just for the sake of a momentary dispute.
She was so sleepy and in pain that she could hardly open her eyes.
She is going to sleep.
Who knew that as soon as she closed her eyes, a fresh and fragrant smell hit her face, making her already hungry stomach suddenly hurt.
"My mother-in-law gave me some good wine and meat.
Let me all have a taste."
Zhang Ruoyi swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
She smelled roast duck.
Duck is a good thing, but it is not easy to make it well.
It's too spicy and tasteless, too fat and greasy.
The tempting aroma of roast duck flows in the air.
The duck skin on the breast should be crystal clear and round, and the lean duck meat should be tender and fragrant.
Each piece of leg meat should have skin meat.
When the sliced duck is served, there should also be shredded green onions, minced garlic, white sugar, sweet noodle sauce, and cucumber strips.
Roll these up with lotus leaf pancakes.
It tastes soft but not rotten.
The duck meat is crispy, fragrant and tender.
These servants drank for a long time and ate for a long time.
They held a lamp in their hands and walked towards Zhang Ruoyi.
"This lady from the Taifu family is so beautiful, both talented and beautiful.
It’s one of the best in Beijing.”
The jailer got closer and closer, and this jailer Zhang Ruoyi was recognized.
He always looked arrogant towards the prisoners, and looked at the beautiful female prisoner with frivolous eyes, "If you want to eat, sing a little song for me, and I will give it to you."
"This is a blatant and undisguised humiliation.
"Bah, stay away from me, or I'll let my father take your head."
Zhang Ruoyi said with a stern expression.
"Oh, I'm so scared.

A drowned phoenix is not as good as a chicken.
Even now, you are still so arrogant.
Come on, come on, sing a song for me.
I will make sure that you not only have food today, but also tomorrow.
There will be food the day after tomorrow.”
The aroma on the tip of her nose was so strong, she really wanted to eat it, but she was absolutely not willing to sing a ditty just to order food, "Get out, take your things and get out."
Suddenly I heard heavy footsteps, hurried and messy, it was obvious that many people were coming this way.
"Come on, come on, boss Qian is here.
If he sees us drinking here, it will be over.
You idiot, move quickly."
"My roast duck.
My mother-in-law bought it for me with great difficulty."
The jailer cried out distressedly.
"Just ask your mother-in-law to buy another roast duck.
If it doesn't work, I'll give you one.
If you don't want your job anymore, go away, go away, you look like a loser.
Next month, my money will be distributed.
Please go eat roast duck, go to the one in the north of the city."
"That's pretty much it.
Remember to treat me to roast duck when the time comes."
The jailer, who was half-dead with a face of pain, chuckled.
"You're such a bad thing.
You're just deceiving me about your feelings.
I can't play with you.
You'll be caught if you move quickly.
Don't blame me for not warning you."
Several jailers ran away.
The dark crowd walked past.
Zhang Ruoyi raised her head and looked at the roast duck that was placed in her hand, within reach of her hand.
Zhang Ruoyi swallowed and wondered if there were other people's spit on it.
Did they wash their hands when eating the roast duck?
After a long time of mental construction, I grabbed the roast duck and stuffed it into my mouth.
It's delicious.
It's so delicious.
When you're hungry, everything tastes delicious.
She finished less than half of the bowl and was still unsatisfied.
She dipped her fingers in the juice and ate all the sauce, making her feel a little full.
She saw a small bowl of fish soup outside the railing.
She kept reaching for it, and finally reached it.
However, when she opened the fish soup, she smelled not only the fresh fragrance of fish but also a faint fishy smell.
It was made of inferior grass carp.
Normally, she wouldn't even bother to look at it, but now She picked up the bowl and took a sip.
It was plump and fresh, and the meat was delicate.
It was okay.
It was better than the dirty steamed buns that had gone cold.

The remaining bottom was not wasted.
She licked it clean with her tongue, and her belly finally felt full. full.
But she didn't realize that from beginning to end, no one came up to fight with her about this plate of roast duck and this small bowl of fish soup.
"Sir, my lord, the maid next to Miss Zhang gave this to me.
Take a look."
In the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Che preferred to be called "Sir" instead of "Consort Prince Consort", as if this could get rid of the prestige of Princess Jian'an.
"What I asked you to inquire about, how is it going?
Is she okay?"
Zhou Che snatched out the paper ball, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.
The paper ball also had a faint fragrance, and he knew it as soon as he smelled it.
It's a woman's letterhead.
Open it and take a look.
What caught my eye was the crooked handwriting.
I am afraid that a six or seven-year-old child could write this handwriting more beautifully than she could.
Zhou Che burst out laughing.
Only she could write such ugly handwriting.
As I read the letter, I gradually frowned and clutched my heart.
It hurt, very much.
"Sir, the security there is so tight that the young ones can't get any information at all."
Zhou Che held the letter in his heart and felt a burning warmth.
Her own people couldn't get the news, and she didn't have much power in the capital.
You can imagine how difficult it would be for her to send a letter.
She used to live so freely and brightly, but now she looks like a flower that is about to wither.
If they had gotten married, they would definitely not be living like this now.
He kept working and sucked up the ink with his pen, "Send this letter to the princess's house and tell her that I have something to ask of the princess."
After finishing writing, he hurried out.
He was very anxious, so he went to the stable to pick a horse and headed towards the gate.
Thinking of the previous painful experiences, he called a few guards to join him.
His heart was beating fast and he was very nervous.
When the horse in front passed by a shop, it neighed and suddenly stood up.
Zhou Che almost ran into it.
"Be careful.
You're so clumsy, I'm scared to death."
There was a stench in the prison.
This odor seemed to have invaded the masonry and was pickled.
No matter how hard you pinched your nose, you could still smell the stench.
Zhou Che frowned in disgust.
"Prince-in-law, here, here, the young lady of the Zhang family is too stubborn.
This has been proven to be irrefutable and she still refuses to admit her mistake."
In the evening, it became even colder in the cell.
Zhang Ruoyi rolled herself into a ball and prepared to sleep.
Suddenly, the noise of the prisoners was heard in the distance.
Some asked the jailer for food, and some begged for a tattered cotton-padded jacket.
Zhang Ruoyi was lying on the wheat straw, with only her head exposed, looking curiously outside the iron bars.
At this time, the jailer was going to take Which prisoner will be interviewed at night?

"Prince-in-law, this is a poisonous woman.
She ruined her sisters' faces because of jealousy.
The most pitiful one is Princess An Ning.
She was originally a beautiful girl, but her whole face was ruined because of unexpected misfortune.
Now I don’t dare to go out at all, and I have to wear a veil no matter where I go.
If I don’t recover well, my life will be ruined.”
Zhang Ruoyi suddenly woke up, scratched her hair, wiped her face, and lay down in a perfect posture.
She knows what posture and angle she looks better at.
"Shut up, this case is full of doubts.
What you say is extremely irresponsible."
Zhou Che frowned in distress when he saw Chen Jiao lying on the wheat straw and shivering without a quilt.
She was thrown to the ground after being beaten to a bloody pulp.
She was covered in blood, her clothes were torn, and her face was smeared with tears and blood.
She really had no sense of beauty at all.
She washed her face with not very clean water.
At this moment, she knew that Zhou Che was there, so she tried her best to show her most moist and pitiful eyes and looked up.
"You're here, you're finally here."
After sending away the jailer, he looked at Zhang Ruoyi and asked in a low voice, "Are they going to use torture?"
Zhang Ruoyi cried so hard, "Hit, here, here is red, I did not harm anyone, I was wronged, Prince Consort, you must save me."
She called out to Prince Consort in grievance, and this sound was very...
Lingering, endless trust and attachment.
"Dad, he sent me to this place indiscriminately.
My heart hurts so much.
I only have you, my consort."
The corners of his eyes and brows were full of sadness, as if he was very sad about Taifu Zhang's ruthlessness, but he couldn't bear to express it.
Looking at Zhang Ruoyi's haggard and thin face, she whispered, "Don't worry, I will rescue you as soon as possible."
"Fortunately I have you, otherwise" Zhang Ruoyi's smile was bright and her eyes were as bright as the lake under the moon.
Zhou Che was startled.
"I'm leaving first."
Looking back, Zhou Che said goodbye.
Zhang Ruoyi could not leave the cell and stood there watching him.
"Take good care of that young lady from the Zhang family."
After Zhou Che left, the jailer picked up the money bag, weighed it, and then opened it and counted it.
Well, it's a total of ten taels of silver, which may be a lot for ordinary people, but for him, it can't even fit between his teeth.
This prince-in-law is a bit too stingy.
"You are lucky.
The prince-in-law ordered a quilt for you.
Then."
The jailer threw a brand new quilt over, which smelled of sunshine and felt soft and comfortable.
Zhang Ruoyi slept well under the envious eyes of the prisoners.
Her food is also better.
Because Zhou Che paid for the jailer and bought food from outside and brought it in, she finally had a few warm and full meals.
In the evening, Tang Ning had a fish feast at the princess mansion.
The harmonious and sweet scene was interrupted by the intrusion of an uninvited guest.
"Princess, the consort asked me to give this to you."

Before she finished her sentence, Tang Ning became unhappy.
What did Zhou Che think of her as someone who would come and go as soon as he was called?
Tang Ning dropped the letter on the ground, "Why doesn't he come by himself?"
"This, this slave doesn't know either."
Tang Ning was not happy, but she would not embarrass a servant.
Anyone who knew her knew that she was not someone who liked to express her anger.
The boy was stunned for a moment, seeing how the soft and weak Princess Jian'an could be so domineering.
At first, I thought that the princess was a boudoir girl who was easy to deal with, because the prince-in-law always said so, but now it seems that she is not that easy to deal with.
"The prince-in-law's leg was injured and he couldn't leave the house, so he asked the servant" If this were an ordinary woman, there would be no problem with what he did, and she could even get twice the result with half the effort.
Unfortunately, Tang Ning was not an ordinary woman.
She knew when the prince-in-law ate, when he slept, what he had for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
She didn't even bother to expose such a clumsy lie.
"Why don't you go out quickly?
Didn't you see that the princess is angry?"
Cuiliu was not here, and the maid next to Tang Ning saw that her expression was wrong and got angry.
Soon, the boy disappeared from Tang Ning's sight.
It's good to have smart people around you.
Tang Ning has been here for quite some time.
The past few days were spent cleaning up the bunch of idlers from the Princess Mansion.
To exaggerate, if there were a hundred servants in the Princess Mansion, fifty of them would be sneaky people, twenty of them would be spies sent from various places, and the remaining thirty or so would be excluding the rough messengers and miscellaneous sweepers. , there are only a few that can be used.
Now the staff has been reduced by half, but the work efficiency is ten times better than before.
"Princess, Master Ge asked this slave to give it to you."
Cui Liuping stepped back and stuffed a piece of paper into Tang Ning's hand.
When she opened it, she smiled.
What came into focus was the crooked handwriting.
I am afraid that a child of six or seven years old could write better than the owner of this paper.
Only Zhang Ruoyi can write such ugly words.
These are exactly the words written by modern people with unaccustomed brushes.
They are of different sizes and uneven thickness.
After the popularization of hard pens, the act of writing with a brush is no longer necessary for daily writing, but has become an art form.
Modern people all use fountain pens, water pens, and ballpoint pens.
As long as they can write, their wrist strength is completely different.
After reading the contents on the paper, Tang Ning chuckled with unknown meaning.
Without Tang Ning's signal, Jin Yiwei was watching Zhang Ruoyi's every move closely.
They would not restrict her from doing anything and would not let her discover their presence, but her every move was under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.
The fact that this note could be spread was because of Ge Yue's instruction.
"Princess, this is the note written by the consort."
Cuiliu picked up the note on the ground.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to meet this young lady from the Zhang family.
Let's see how powerful the woman who enchanted the consort is."
There was a hint of interest in Tang Ning's voice.
