The next day, I washed and cleaned up under the service of Xiao Chan. I could

    basically ignore the fact that he was a member of the opposite sex. It''s okay

    to be an ordinary girl.After having a light and delicious breakfast, Yan Ke brought the guards to my

    room again, holding a bowl of dark brown Chinese medicine with a bitter taste

    in his hands: "His Royal Highness, how did you rest last night?"I drank the soup medicine in her hand in one gulp, handed the empty bowl back

    to her, smiled slightly and said, "Very good."She glanced at me slightly in surprise, and then said softly: "How can your

    Highness be so obedient today? Drinking medicine is as refreshing as drinking

    water. It''s actually very different from the old Highness who would cry every

    time I drink medicine."While speaking, he took a small jar of candied fruit from the guard, and took

    one to my mouth.With one in her hand, I just sneered: "I woke up and forgot some things, but I

    learned some truth. I always felt that I couldn''t be as self-willed as

    before.""My complexion has improved a lot. It''s not like it used to be. It takes some

    time to turn around on the bed." She wiped her hands and smiled with me-I

    found that her hands are not as good as the ones on her face. The skin is so

    delicate, but it is a pair of calloused, weather-beaten hands."Aunt Ke, since I have listened to you and take good care of myself, should

    you honor your promise and let me meet the Jiang Guard?" I looked away from

    her hand, and I tried to ask."His Royal Highness!" She glared at me disapprovingly, but pampered more than

    helplessly, "Well...just go and take a look at her, so that you don''t always

    worry about it and don''t take care of it-only a quarter of an hour.""I know." I nodded quickly and obediently-this auntie Ke is really obedient to

    Kuang Xihan."Bing San, Bing Si, follow your protection, don’t let the surname Jiang

    collide with your Highness." She turned her head and ordered the two guards

    behind her, and said to Xiao Cicada with worry, "You too His Royal Highness

    served by his side, and when the quarter of an hour came, he sent His Royal

    Highness back to rest.""Yes." Xiao Chan nodded hurriedly.Under her thousands of warnings, I was finally allowed to walk out of this

    bedroom, surrounded by a large group of people, toward the courtyard of the

    courtyard back from the corridor.Not long afterwards, my body felt a little tired, and I finally saw a

    beautiful pavilion with a bunch of flowers in front of me. The three

    characters "Yongletang" are written on the plaque with the official script

    that I am very familiar with. The font is clear and beautiful, but the style

    is weak. It can be seen that the book writers are not strong enough, and the

    stamina is insufficient-I am only fortunate that I can understand the text

    here, and I will not be an illiterate with a black eye.Just standing outside the gate of Yongle Hall, you can smell a mellow

    fragrance, not like the sweetness of ordinary fat rice, but like the

    intoxicating sweetness that has been fermented for many years-in this, it

    seems to be hidden again A trace of blood, I don''t know if it is my illusion.Xiao Chan opened the door one step ahead of me, and then respectfully let it

    aside, waiting for me to enter.I scanned the attendants and guards who followed behind me, and they all

    regarded myself as the background silently like him, as if they were afraid of

    attracting my attention.I was so happy that no one was following. Without monitoring, I stepped into

    the room which was hung with layers of red gauze tents, which concealed the

    inside so that it was indistinct—the scent was more intense, and it seemed to

    carry other things. The indescribable elegant fragrance...Similarly, the **

    smell became more and more obvious.Lifting up the layer after layer of the veil with the misty fragrance, the

    silhouette of a person gradually appeared in my eyes. When I passed the last

    layer of concealment, I finally saw the thin figure clearly, and finally saw

    it. The whole view of the mysterious Yongletang.——I think I probably understand why Xiao Chan looks so unnatural when talking

    about Yongle Tang; I also began to understand how the original owner of this

    body, Kuang Xihan, is so mad and unruly.I vaguely remember that in the "Historical Records: Yin Benji", I read such a

    sentence: "Daily plays in the sand dunes, (Zhou) uses wine as a pool and

    county meat as a forest, so that men and women are naked in the meantime,

    which is the long night. Drinking.” This is the allusion of Shang Zhou Wang

    Jiuchi Roulin-now it seems that Kuang Xihan is also one of the fans here.The huge room was divided into two parts. One side was a square jade pool that

    was manually excavated. The bottomless pool was full of water that seemed to

    overflow the entire pool. The fragrance of wine was scattered, and people

    didn’t know what the night was. There are lively and fragrant pictures hanging

    on it, so lifelike and embarrassing, there are a few beautiful teenagers

    sitting and lying by the pool, who only wear colorful tulle, and their eyes

    are red when they are laughing and playing, and their eyes are like silk.Seeing me walking in, I didn''t step forward, but waved at me with a smile, Xu

    Shi was too drunk to get up... I couldn''t help but look away.On the other side, it was a completely different scene.Whips made of various materials, inexplicable bottles and cans, sticks and

    knives of different sizes, mostly with barbed organs, piles of candlestick wax

    oil, and gold and silver needles that teach people to numb the scalp... It is

    really eye-opening to fight for wonders and beauty, and I can''t help but

    suspect that I have come to a prison specializing in torture and confession.However, these kinds of things are far less attractive than the thin figure

    standing in the middle of the long twigs; or, after sweeping around the

    wonders, I can only see that person in my eyes. That''s it.The man wore only a loose white silk garment, barely covering the base of his

    legs, revealing a pair of white and beautiful long legs; the large areas of

    uncovered shoulders and necks were covered with bruises, even a few. There

    were still bloodshot eyes, and there were several breaks in the white clothes,

    and the shocking whiplashes went straight through-her hands were hoisted high,

    and a pair of gold bracelets studded with gems was handcuffed to her wrists,

    drawing out a dazzling circle. Red seal; face pale as snow, black hair as

    thick as crow feathers, slender eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, like

    a leftover leaf in the wind, yet there is a kind of misty and poignant beauty."You..." I stood there in a daze, struggling-if I step forward, how should I

    speak and what to say? If you turn around and leave, it would be against your

    will and regret.who is she? What''s wrong? How could you be handcuffed here?One question after another quickly passed through my mind, but none of them

    were able to pull me back from the astonishment of loss of soul.I probably noticed my gaze, and the dangling woman moved gently, and the

    bracelet dinged; the slightly curled eyelashes also slowly lifted up, as if a

    breeze lifted my cheeks, soft and soft. Itchy... I subconsciously held my

    breath.When she looked up faintly, I actually felt as if someone had been hit with a

    stick, my heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, and even the original intention of

    coming here was completely forgotten—unexpectedly , For the first time in my

    life, because a person keeps his eyes open and feels emotional, this person is

    just like me, a woman.She has a pair of extremely deep eyes. When I crossed her eyes, it seemed as

    if I saw a flash of amber from the cold star-like pupils. Upon closer

    inspection, it was only a calm and waveless pool reflecting me. The almost

    silly look.She didn''t seem to be surprised at my appearance. Seeing me staring straight

    at her, she didn''t have the slightest shyness. She just opened her lips

    lightly and said, "Jiang Zhuo has seen His Royal Highness Ling." Her voice was

    soft and elegant, but her tone was calm. As calm as if she was not a prisoner

    who was tortured by imprisonment.-Jiang Zhuo? It turns out that she is the Jiang Guard.I suddenly remembered what Xiao Chan said: For Kuang Xihan and the people

    around her, the so-called petting and having fun are really extraordinary..."You..." I paused, and I turned my eyes to the few gauze teenagers who were

    drinking and having fun on the other side. When the words came to my lips, I

    changed again, "You go out first."Perhaps it was Kuang Xihan who had accumulated prestige in these people''s

    minds for a long time. My expressionless expression really frightened these

    teenagers. They immediately took back the frivolous attitude, and gave a hasty

    salute and you pushed me and left. .When only me and her were left, the room was silent again-I licked my lips,

    and for a moment I felt: Maybe it''s not the best decision to throw the

    teenagers out."Is the prince''s body okay?" She was silent for a while, or she was the first

    to break the deadlock."It''s, it''s okay..." I bit my lip, planning to ask straightforwardly what

    happened before.However, before I could speak, the door behind me was knocked softly, and Xiao

    Cicada''s voice came through the layers of gauze tents: "His Royal Highness,

    the hour has come, you should return."I ignored him, just looked at Jiang Zhuo''s eyes, but lost the courage to speak

    again."What instructions does the prince have?" When she thought about it, she also

    noticed that my hesitation had stopped, so she asked indifferently."Come here, take off her handcuffs." I turned around annoyedly and said to the

    door.The door was opened, and the two guards Bing San Bing Si sent by Xiao Chan and

    Yan Ke walked in.Cicada lowered his head and dared not look at me, Bing San did a half kneeling

    ceremony, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, this pair of

    handcuffs is a tribute bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor. The keys are kept

    by you personally, your subordinates, etc. I dare not go beyond.""Where''s the key?" I asked Xiao Chan.He glanced at me cautiously, stepped back quietly, and replied in a low voice:

    "Go back to your Highness, the key...you threw it away.""Where did you throw it?" Although it wasn''t an order from me, it took this

    body after all, but now I am responsible for the consequences."In the lake in the backyard..." After he finished speaking quickly, he

    immediately stepped aside, lowered his head and held his breath, as if he was

    afraid of my anger against him.——As expected of the emperor''s relatives, there is still a lake in the yard.I think optimistically, at least Kuang Xihan is not the declining aristocrat

    who relies solely on loans to maintain their honor...This is the only place I

    can comfort myself.I sighed silently in my heart, I was actually a little afraid to turn my head

    and look at Jiang Zhuo''s expression-maybe, can I send a craftsman to unlock

    the lock? Or just split it with a knife?I hesitated not to speak, and the others did not dare to speak without

    permission. The corner of my eye saw Xiao Chan as a reminder that I knew that

    the quarter of an hour set by Yan Ke had already passed-but I just didn''t see

    it.Before solving Jiang Zhuo''s problem, I did not want to leave."The prince is going to let Jiang Zhuo go?" The woman who was dangled asked

    carelessly, seeing our every move."Yes, it''s just..." I turned my head and met her clear eyes. I only felt that

    my cheeks were hot and ashamed. I wanted to apologize, but I couldn''t speak.

    I''m afraid it''s not for my current identity. do."In that case," she nodded clearly, and suddenly made a mistake with her

    hands-only hearing a "click", she broke the handcuffs with her bare hands,

    "Please forgive me, Lord."I glanced at her wrist subconsciously, and a blood stain was vaguely scratched

    by the metal handcuffs, which made my wrist hurt.She shook her hand unconsciously and didn''t care.Isn''t this person painful?
