The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 198 Before leaving
Heaven Prison, as a place for detaining serious criminals, has a strict guard and visitation system. Generally, those who are imprisoned in Heaven Prison are most likely to have committed heinous crimes, and most of them are of high status. Princes and ministers, or relatives of the emperor.

Zhou Yuzhi's niece, Zhou Xuemei, once entered the palace as a beautiful girl, so Zhou Yu'an can barely be regarded as a relative of the emperor, but even if Zhou Xuemei is only a court lady, Zhou Yu'an, a high-ranking official in the court, would naturally not be able to escape if she committed such a heinous crime in the palace. Take this trip.

The dungeon was dark and humid, coupled with the overwhelming resentment, it gave people a gloomy and terrifying feeling, so when the bride walked into the depths of the dungeon, she couldn't help but pull her skirt.

Zhou Yu'an is being imprisoned in a single cell in the depths of the sky prison. The so-called single cell is smaller and a single cell. Apart from that, there are no other special courtesy. Criminals are the same.

When they came to the cell where Zhou Yu'an was imprisoned, the guard who led the way for Gu Qingliang pointed to the person in the cell and said, "Empress, this person is Zhou Yu'an."

After the jailer finished speaking, he turned to Zhou Yu'an again, and said to Zhou Yu'an, "Zhou Yu'an, the Empress Empress has come to see you, why don't you hurry up and pick her up?"

The people locked in the sky prison are basically waiting to die, either waiting to be beheaded, or waiting to die of old age, and there are very few people who can get out alive.Therefore, people who entered here, apart from struggling and repelling at the beginning, after getting used to it gradually, thinking about it, accepting their fate, they will start to become indifferent, or it can be said to become lifeless.

Zhou Yuan is in this situation now, leaning against the corner of the wall like a muddy beach, sitting there with dull eyes, gray hair disheveled, and has long since lost the mental strength before entering the prison. Hair, now Zhou Yuan's head is already silvery white, and there are many more wrinkles.

Hearing the jailer tell me, the Empress looked at herself. At first Zhou Yuan didn't realize it, she just took a look at Xin Ning and said lazily, "Empress, who is Empress? I don't know her." , why did she come to see me? I don’t know him.” Zhou Yu’an suddenly paused while talking, and the last one was “familiar”. Before he could say the words, Zhou Yu'an seemed to have come to his senses suddenly, and quickly lifted his spirits and looked at Gu Xinning again: "The empress? The offender is not only the empress coming, but also expecting the empress to forgive me." Zhou Juan hurriedly crawled out from the corner of the wall with kneeling and crawling, and crawled to the door of the cell, kowtowing to Gu Xinning, begging for mercy if.

"Zhou Yu'an, do you recognize me?" Gu Xinning asked.

Zhou Yu'an raised his head, looked at Gu Xinning carefully, shook his head after thinking for a while, and said, "It's the first time I've seen Fengyan."

Gu Xinning nodded and said, "Those who don't know are innocent, so I won't punish you severely for this, so you don't have to panic."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Empress Empress, for your kindness." Zhou Yu'an kowtowed and said.

Gu Xinning said to the prison guard at the side: "It's none of your business here, I have something to tell Zhou Yu'an, you go down first."

"Yes, if the empress has an order, you can just call me directly, and I will leave." After bowing and saluting, the prison guard tactfully retreated and left.

After leaving the prison, Gu Xinning said to Zhou Yu'an: "However, you have committed another serious crime, and this crime is the reason why you were imprisoned here."

Zhou Yu'an heard the words, and quickly said: "Yes, there is a crime of not being strict in teaching women here, and the suffering today is all due to the guilt of the people, no one is special."

Gu Xinning nodded and said: "Just now you said that this is the first time I've seen Bengong in my life, and it's also the first time I've seen you, but in fact, you and I can be regarded as old acquaintances, Lord Zhou Yu'an!"

Hearing Gu Xinning's words, Zhou Yu'an's body shook, and he asked puzzledly: "Zhou Yu'an, a sinner, I don't understand what your empress means, please tell me clearly, empress."

Gu Xinning sneered twice and said, "Hmph, Lord Zhou, do you still remember Gu Jingzhou, the general protecting the country who was framed by you and Ran Hai and others more than ten years ago?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned when he heard the words, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Gu is the most civilized. Remember, I am sorry for Brother Gu. I am greedy for life and afraid of death. I am greedy for money and forget righteousness, retribution, this is all retribution!"

"Brother Gu you mentioned is my father. You caused my family to be ruined. All the forty members of my family died in vain. Zhou Yu'an, you can hardly absolve yourself of the blame for all this." Gu Xinning said viciously.

"Ah, it turns out that Brother Gu still has a daughter left behind. That's great. The criminal Zhou Yu'an is ashamed of Brother Gu, and even more ashamed of the Empress Empress. I beg the Empress to grant the criminal man a death to make up for the crimes committed by the criminal!" Zhou Yu'an Said tearfully.

"Give you a death? Do you think it's so cheap? Do you think it's so easy to settle the grievances between Zhou and Gu? Back then, your daughter poisoned the beautiful girl in the palace and wanted to harm him. Do you know who it is?" Gu Xinning said loudly. asked.

Frightened by Gu Xinning's aggressive aura, Zhou Yu'an replied tremblingly, "Criminals. Criminals don't know."

"It's my palace! Like a father, like a daughter, Zhou Yu'an, speaking of it, our two families are really destined. You conspired to kill my father. As for your daughter, you provoked and poisoned me, trying to put me in the wrong place." Damn, no wonder people say that they are not a family, and they do not enter a family."

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu'an almost went limp. He couldn't imagine why such a coincidence happened. Is it God's will or retribution?

Zhou Yu'an knew that he had no way to defend himself at this time, so he could only keep bowing his head and plead guilty to Gu Xinning.

Gu Xinning looked at Zhou Yu'an who was almost weak and said: "Just now you said that you have the crime of not being strict with your daughter? But as far as I know, it seems to be more than that. It seems that your discipline of the younger generation is really bad. Ultimate, as a father, as an uncle, none of you can do it successfully."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu'an was a little puzzled and said, "The Empress is referring to"

Gu Xinning said coldly: "I heard that you still have a nephew, right?"

Zhou Yu'an was stunned when he heard the words, raised his head and murmured, "Changsheng? I want to report to the empress, the sinner does have a nephew named Zhou Changsheng, but Changsheng is a poor child who lost his parents since he was a child. I wanted to take good care of Changsheng, but Unexpectedly, it caused him to be dispatched to the frontier, Changsheng is far away from the capital, and will never threaten the empress, empress, please forgive me and let Changsheng go!"

"You said let me let him go? Hahahahaha" Hearing Zhou Yu'an's words, Gu Xinning suddenly laughed out loud and said, "It's ridiculous! You said let me let him go, but in fact, it's not me who doesn't let him go now, It was he who didn't let me go, and didn't let go of Zhaoxuan country, do you know that in recent days, Liuli country suddenly invaded and attacked Zhaoxuan country, why is that?" Gu Xinning's voice was full of words, and Zhou Yu'an was a little aggressive out of breath.

Zhou Yu'an said timidly, "Liu Li Country? Liu Li Country doesn't border our country, so why do you want to cross the border to make things difficult? Is there any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? I have to ask your precious nephew. He is the one who, by some means, instigated the ruler of the Liuli Kingdom to send troops to our country. Now the two countries are facing each other, and there will be tragic casualties at any time. All of this All thanks to your good nephew!"

"Changsheng? No! No, how could it be like this? Changsheng has always been humble and filial, it's impossible for him to do such a rebellious thing." Zhou Yu'an almost couldn't believe it.

Gu Xinning sneered, glanced at Zhou Yu'an, and said coldly: "After I capture him from the battlefield, I will let him come to see you for the last time before he dies, and ask you to ask him why he did this Do?"

Zhou Yu'an heard that the empress said that Zhou Changsheng would be executed after being caught, so she begged Gu Xinning for mercy, "Empress, please forgive me, I think Changsheng must be because of my relationship, that's why he was confused and did such a wrong thing. It is because the offenders are not disciplined strictly, and all the crimes are borne by the offenders, I beg the empress to forgive me."

"It's up to you? Just because you are a sinner who was imprisoned by the emperor and cannot be released forever, why should you bear the crime of treason?" Gu Xinning asked with a sneer.

"Yes, what the empress said is right. The crimes committed by the people should be hacked into pieces, and death is inevitable, but Changsheng is too young. He just couldn't think about it for a while. The empress escorted me to the front line. I will definitely If you try to persuade Changsheng to turn back, he will definitely listen to me." Zhou Yu'an continued to beg for mercy on Zhou Changsheng's behalf.

Gu Xinning snorted coldly and said: "No need, Liuli Kingdom dares to cross the country and enter the Fandom. This kind of arrogance must not be encouraged. The world must know that anyone who violates our Zhaoxuan Kingdom will be severely punished. I want Liuli From now on, you dare not touch Zhaoxuan Kingdom again. If you really want to save Zhou Changsheng, write him a letter and tell him to turn to the light and come back to accept the crime. As long as he knows his mistakes and can correct them, I can guarantee that, If you don’t kill him, you can save him from being exiled to the frontier. Otherwise, you will be at your own risk. I will ask the jailer to give you a pen and paper later. As for whether to write or not, it’s up to you. I won’t force others. After Gu Xinning finished speaking, she turned around without looking back, and walked outside.

Only Zhou Yu'an, who was kneeling in the prison and muttering to himself, was left: "Longevity! Longevity! You shouldn't, treason is no joke, alas, how can I tell your dead parents?" Confess!" Zhou Yu'an said, putting his head on the ground, rubbing back and forth non-stop, as if he wanted to relieve the pain and struggle in his heart with the pain of his body.
