Madam not allowed to remarry

Chapter 255 Chatting in the Dungeon
Chang'an City, Prince Jin's Mansion.

Peacefulness.

The backyard is a small and cold courtyard, Long Aohan has a green lantern and a wooden fish, he doesn't hear anything outside the window, and he is dedicated to practicing Buddhism.

Ever since the child was gone, her heart has been ashamed, everything has nothing to do with her, this life is already disabled, the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp, and a scripture, just spend it like this.

The maid Jingyi pushed the door open and came in, walking up to her with light steps, whispering in her ear: "Princess, my lord wants you to go there."

The hand knocking on the wooden fish didn't stop, and his eyes were still cold: "Tell the prince, I'm not feeling well, so I can't see guests."

Jingyi wanted to say something, but she stopped, Nuonuo said: "Yes."

She came into the mansion to serve Long Aoxue later. When she came in, Long Aoxue looked like this. She didn't fight or snatch, she was indifferent to everyone, and she just stayed in her own Buddhist world. Rarely take it to heart.

It has happened more than once or twice like today.

Every time the prince invites her out to accompany guests at a banquet, she will excuse herself because she is unwell.

The prince didn't say anything, instead, he decided to ask someone to invite the side concubine, but Jingyi felt that the prince didn't care about the concubine at all, and it was just a show to ask someone to invite her.

After all, her princess is a member of the Long family. Although the two generations of generals of the Long family are dead, the foundation is still there, and the power in the court is still hidden, so the prince dare not completely treat the princess coldly.

When Jingyi went out, Long Aoxue stopped the wooden fish in her hand.

At this time, it's time to deliver food to that person.

In the dungeon of the mansion, a guest came. Although he was chained to the wall and couldn't move, the first time Long Aoxue saw him, he felt that he seemed to enjoy such treatment.

She brought him meals without telling Zhong Xu.

The dungeon of Prince Jin's Mansion is very tight, and it has always been difficult for flies to fly in, but she discovered a small path early on, and she can enter the dungeon from the other end.

That time when she heard movement in the dungeon, she went in through that path and met the man face to face.

Seeing that the food on the ground was rotten, she started to bring him food.

Although I don't know who this person is and why he was locked up here, good luck is a life.

There are two vegetarian dishes. She doesn't eat meat herself, and she doesn't have any meat for that one.

Stepping on the moonlight, enter the dungeon from that secret path, the dungeon is not guarded, and there are food on the ground, which is rotten and untouched.

I don't know what kind of enmity Zhong Xu has with this person, the meals delivered every day are all rotten leftovers.

In order not to arouse Zhong Xu's suspicion, the first thing Long Aoxue does every time he comes is to pour the rotten food into his own food basket, take it out and dispose of it later, pretending that this person ate it.

The dungeon has no fences, just a wall, a secret passage entrance, and a door.

Long Aoxue didn't know where the door led to, and she didn't try to push through the door, for fear of attracting people.

As usual, he took out the prepared meals and brought them to the man. The iron chains on his feet were fixed to the wall, which limited his range of motion. Although the iron chains on his hands were also fixed on the wall, they were much longer than those on his feet. , which means that both hands are free to move.

"I made a vegetarian chicken today. You said you want to eat meat, but I can't. I have been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for a long time. This is all I can give you."

She was used to it, and while talking, she poured those rotten meals into her basket.

Although the man on the opposite side was tied up and didn't wash for a few days, he looked quite embarrassed, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was always cynical and leisurely, which made people feel that he was in such a situation, but rather enjoyed it.

Long Aoxue usually doesn't stay long, but today is an exception.

Today, she is a little lonely.

"Today is my father's death day. I am a Buddhist chanting person and cannot drink alcohol, so I prepared a pot of tea. You have the right to drink a few cups with me."

"No one is with you?"

The man ate the meals she brought, all of which were vegetarian, and after eating for a while, his appetite was weakened.

Long Aohan took out two wine glasses, filled one for him, and one for himself.

Strong tea fragrance.

"This is the tea for Qingming Day. When my father was still alive, he always said that Qingming tea would cure all diseases."

"Oh, this is your last name?"

"Hehe, how do you taste it?"

The man took the cup, took a sip, and showed some approval on his face: "Not bad, full-bodied and rich, slightly bitter in the mouth, sweet in the throat, baked just right, which tea house bought it, and I will buy some when I go out. Try it."

He still wants to go out, but Long Aoxue thinks he is really an optimistic person.

The state of mind inevitably opened up: "I never asked why you were arrested. If you need my help, I can help you."

"why?"

"No reason."

"You are really a strange woman, no need, I live comfortably here."

Long Aoxue chuckled lightly, her smile was quiet and gentle.

"You are also a strange man, let's eat, it's cold, do you have a name? What do I call you?"

name?

The man smiled.

Ben Wang Yanhongyi, I will tell you your name, so I won't let you get into trouble.

The tricks I set up, the tricks I set up, let Jin Wang, who had nowhere to live in the gap between the queen mother and the emperor, get himself arrested. The woman in front of him looks very kind. My sister sent the report, and then his thoughts would be in vain.

"Call me Hong."

"My name is Long Aoxue."

Long Aoxue sat on the floor, even though the ground was dirty and the surrounding environment was dark and humid, she sat there as if she had become a Buddha, exuding a certain aura.

She looks good, and she's a nice person. It's really a loss to marry King Jin.

Yan Hongyi suddenly felt pity in his heart: "I know who you are, you knew it the first time you came here."

"Is it my outfit, or something I said, that made you guess my identity?"

"You saw the surprise I showed at that time. After the surprise, you quickly regained your composure. I guessed who you are. It is said that Princess Jin was born in the general family. If I hadn't been used to this kind of captivity, how could it be possible? I regained my calm so quickly, and I didn't ask too many questions about my situation, ordinary women don't have that composure."

"Hehe, it's true. When I was young, I lived in my father's military tent for a while. I could often see all kinds of prisoners being escorted into the prison camp. When I slept at night, I often heard rumors about torture. The screams came, and I was very scared at first, but after seeing more, I got used to it."

"I've heard that the Long family is listed as a general. Your father is Long Haoran, the general of Zhenbei, and your uncle is Long Haoyi, the general of Zhennan. Back then, the two generals made great contributions to the emperor of Beiliang. When I heard the names of the two generals, I was terrified. When the two generals were still around, the relationship between Northern Liang and Southern Chu was very friendly, but now, hehe..."

"After the new Emperor of Chu came to the throne, he was full of ambitions. A battle between Southern Chu and Northern Liang was inevitable."

"Oh, I don't think so. Doesn't Nan Chu want to make peace with Bei Liang now?"

Long Aoxue said with a smile: "The marriage is just a cover. Let the Queen Mother let go of her grievances and let in [-] Southern Chu elites without any precautions. This is the purpose. Now the Southern Chu army is stationed outside the city, and the marriage has repeatedly been put on hold. What do you say?" Princess Wenyuan is freezing, but she is just watching the situation."

"How to say?"

Yan Hongyi was very interested, and felt that Long Aoxue was a very smart person, she just seemed to have a quiet and elegant demeanor, and when talking about military and political affairs, she was quite charming, making people believe that she was the queen of the general.

Long Aoxue drank a cup of tea, moistened her lips, and continued: "Nan Chu sent Emperor Chu's younger brother to Beijing to visit Liang, which undoubtedly gave people the illusion that Nan Chu took the initiative to show favor. It's just that the Queen Mother is very wary. Seriously, this was not enough to relax her tense vigilance. Not long after, Emperor Chu sent Princess Huige again, and she came with the intention of marrying her. In this way, the signs of showing goodwill became more obvious. I have to say that Emperor Chu is very smart. Whether it is the third prince, Princess Huige, or Princess Wenyuan, it is well known that the people on the heart of Emperor Chu send all these people to the capital city of Beiliang. Don't be afraid of him playing tricks."

"Hehe, interesting, you go on."

Long Aoxue felt that she was talking too much today. In fact, she had long since shut her ears to what was going on outside the window. It was just that she didn't want to be alone today, but she didn't want anyone in the house to be by her side, so she came here. Talk to a stranger.

"The empress dowager definitely thinks that if Emperor Chu plays tricks, no matter whether it is the third prince or Princess Huige, he will not be able to afford it. She even thought that the purpose of Emperor Chu's marriage is to join hands with her to help King Qin ascend the throne That's why she boldly opened the door, relaxed all guards, and welcomed [-] elites from Southern Chu to Chang'an City as a dowry."

"Then who do you think the Southern Chu army is here to help?"

"It's hard to say, Emperor Chu is ambitious, and he may not have come here for any side. Maybe he lost the [-] elites just to disrupt Chang'an City and make the Empress Dowager tired of coping, and then took the opportunity to plunder the city and land, and take away Jinzhou. There are several big cities on the border."

Yan Hongyi laughed loudly: "I have a unique opinion. If Emperor Chu is as you said, he would have sacrificed his own brother, eldest sister, younger sister and [-] elites, plus so many Chu people in the posthouse. Minister, change a few cities!"

His laughter was hearty, and Long Aoxue couldn't tell whether he agreed with her or opposed her.

However, it was nothing more than two people in the dungeon, expressing their opinions blindly, and passing the time.

"Although Princess Huige is still in Chang'an City, the third prince is nowhere to be found. Maybe Emperor Chu couldn't bear to part with his own brother and found him in advance. However, I'm just speculating, but no matter what the real purpose of Emperor Chu is, What, it's just an excuse that Princess Wenyuan is ill, he may just hang the Queen Mother on purpose and want to show off his prestige."

"It seems that Emperor Chu is in your heart, and neither the left nor the right are good people."
