idle mistress

Chapter 20 Imprisonment
But Xu Weiqiu...

A humble little girl living in an involuntary and cruel feudal society.

She lay tossing and turning on the big bunk, and suddenly remembered the construction plan she accidentally turned over earlier. She remembered that there was a very suspicious corridor in the depths of the underground palace on the drawing, and there was another person with unknown intentions besides. special mark.

Thinking of this, she sat up like a grasshopper, and because she was too excited, she made a lot of noise all of a sudden.

"Why are you so surprised that you don't let people sleep." A long-term worker in the same shop couldn't help complaining.

"Sorry." She apologized in a low voice, lay back in her original position, and forced herself to settle down and go to sleep.

The next day, when she was working in the main house, she couldn't help but secretly looked at the desk, and found that the wooden box that had been placed on the desk had disappeared. She looked around, but still couldn't find it.

Zhao Yan saw that she was not serious about her work, so he kicked her unceremoniously: "What are you looking at?"

"No." She shook her head quickly.

Hearing this, Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

"Uh, I don't know if my eyes are dazzled, but I seem to have seen a cricket jump from here to there just now." She babbled nonsense.

"Really?" Zhao Yan believed it immediately, and bent down to search for it.

Seeing this, Xu Weiqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had knelt there and beat his legs for nearly an hour, and her hands and feet were starting to go numb. When Zhao Yan wasn't paying attention, she secretly turned her back and loosened her wrist.

Zhao Yan didn't suspect that she was lying even after searching to no avail, he only said something disappointing, and then he casually confessed to her a few words and went out with the birdcage for a walk.

Xu Weiqiu sent the man out of the door respectfully, and watched him walk away along the long bluestone road carrying the birdcage and whistling, before she turned her head and went back to the main house.

The main house was tidied up every day, and it was almost spotless, but since Zhao Yan ordered her to clean it carefully, she just pretended to sweep here and there with a feather duster.

When she came to the screen, she swept the picture of birds on the screen with a feather duster.Sweeping and sweeping, she looked back at the door, thought for a while, then crossed the screen and walked into the bedroom inside.

She guessed right, the wooden box was taken into the dormitory, and it was placed on the dressing table not far away at this moment.

She walked quickly to the dressing table, inserted a feather duster into a porcelain vase on the side, opened the wooden box, and rummaged through it; she quickly found the roll she wanted, unrolled it impatiently, and lowered her head carefully. looking at...

The ear room, the carriage and horse room... She remembered that the corridor was connected with the east side room.

The east chamber... the east chamber is found in...

She lowered her head and watched carefully...

Suddenly, the surrounding light dimmed, she hesitated for a moment, and turned her head slightly.

Turning around, I secretly screamed in my heart that something was wrong.

Zhao Yan, who was supposed to go out for a bird walk, was standing a foot away from her, looking at her expressionlessly.

This man's eyes are deep and energetic. Although he is good-looking, when he stares at you coldly, it makes people feel horrified.

"Zhao Fu, didn't you say you can't read?" He asked in a calm tone, but the expression on his face was different.

Xu Weiqiu panicked immediately, she turned her head desperately, racking her brains to give the other party a reasonable explanation.

However, Zhao Yan didn't wait for her to explain, strode forward and kicked her lower abdomen hard.

Xu Weiqiu was in pain and couldn't help bending over and laughing.

"Slave dog!" Zhao Yan's eyes were cold. He glanced at the files scattered on the ground, and called out the door: "Come on, drag this slave dog out for me."

Soon, two strong men rushed in, as if they had already been waiting outside the door; Xu Weiqiu soon realized that Zhao Yan might have suspected him.

Two strong men stepped forward and dragged her out without saying a word.

Thinking of the ruthlessness of Zhao's torture, Xu Weiqiu panicked completely.

"My lord, please forgive me... My lord, please forgive me... I'm just curious..." At this moment, she had no choice but to beg for mercy.

Zhao Yan didn't even give her a look, but said coldly: "Take it down and lock it up."
-
Xu Weiqiu was locked in a dark room with nothing in it, only four walls and no windows, where even a ray of light became a luxury.

When a person has no perception of the outside world, time passes the longest; although she feels as if she has been locked in for a long time, the surrounding light is only a change from darkness to darkness, and reason tells her that time is only passing For a day and a night.

Since she was locked in, no one came, no one brought food, not even water.

When a person is kept in the dark for a long time, the spirit is easy to break down, and at this moment she is already hungry and thirsty; Xu Weiqiu scratched his neck and shouted at the door: "Come here... is there anyone outside?... Come, someone...."

But no matter how she called, there was no response from outside.

She didn't give up, and slammed on the wooden door vigorously, making the door panel rattle, but everything was in vain, and the surroundings immediately returned to dead silence as soon as she stopped.

She felt parched and her voice became weaker and weaker:
"Forget it if you don't have anything to eat, at least bring me some water, you're going to die of thirst, it's so inhuman..."

After cursing a few words like this, she couldn't help coughing dryly; finally, she gave up and collapsed on the ground powerlessly.

Is this Zhao Yan planning to starve himself to death like this?Just as she was feeling desperate, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Xu Weiqiu was overjoyed, and quickly stood up and patted on the wooden door: "Come on, is there someone outside? Open the door quickly..."

The footsteps outside stopped abruptly, she was stunned for a moment, and listened, but there was still no movement outside, she knocked on the door again unwillingly.

After a long time, there was still no movement, she yelled in despair: "Zhao Yan, you villain, living Hades, bastard, Zhao Laoliu..."

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open with a bang.After seeing the person coming, Xu Weiqiu immediately faltered, she stopped and stood there dumbfounded.

The Zhao Laoliu she was talking about just now stood outside the door and looked at her coldly, followed by two guards behind him.

"Master Zhao..." Xu Weiqiu called out, and obediently took a step back.

Zhao Yan glanced at her, turned around and left without saying a word.

"Let's go!" The two guards who followed him stepped forward and escorted her to follow behind him.

She was escorted to Guhuang Mountain, and the craftsmen on the mountain were working hard under the scorching sun, only a few bold ones turned their heads and looked over.
