On the rare occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the capital was lit up with lights, making it look like families were enjoying themselves. Ruiyunge, the most prosperous brothel in the capital, was filled with singing and dancing, and the crowds were buzzing.
The girls from Ruiyun Pavilion were greeted with smiles on their faces. As soon as they saw off the regular guests, they fell into the arms of the new young master. All the girls from Ruiyun Pavilion were beautiful. Like a flower, it can be a pair of jade arms that can be used as a pillow for thousands of people, and a little bit of vermilion can be tasted by thousands of people.
Xu Qingmo was trapped in the attic of Ruyun Pavilion. She was leaning on the soft floor, and the incense burner beside her was steaming with green smoke. She was wearing very thin clothes, and a hideous wound was clearly visible on her wrist under the gauze.
She was originally a heroine general who fought on the battlefield, but someone plotted against her and broke her hand and hamstrings. She was kept in captivity in this romantic place where people sang and sang, and she became a "thing" that was lingering!
There were footsteps outside the door. The next moment, the door was gently pushed open. Xu Qingmo's lifeless eyes suddenly moved. She half-opened her eyebrows and looked at the woman who pushed in the door - Yan Junuo.
"So you're really not dead!" Yan Junuo opened the bead curtain and walked to Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo didn't even raise her eyes, she just looked at the green smoke in front of her calmly: "Miss Yan, are you not afraid of staining your reputation when you come here?"
Yan Junuo slowly stepped forward, bent down and picked up the thick iron chain on the ground, his eyes full of ridicule: "The majestic heroine General Xu Qingmo is actually imprisoned here. I don't know. If General Xu knew , will you crawl out of the coffin with such hatred!"
Yan Junuo looked around at the furnishings in the room. They were extremely shabby. There was nothing except the bed and the mattress. She turned back to look at Xu Qingmo, her eyes gradually becoming colder: "Xu Qingmo, why aren't you dead yet?"
Xu Qingmo slowly turned back to look at Yan Junuo. She was dressed in luxury. Compared to her former abject poverty, she was now among the top ten thousand people. Yes, she had almost forgotten that Yan Junuo had already married the prince and became the prince. Concubine!
Prince, Prince!
Xu Qingmo was in a daze. She was betrayed by the prince she loyally protected. Fifty thousand elite soldiers were trapped in this narrow valley with her. The prince asked her to admit defeat. As long as she gave up, she, Xu Qingmo, could survive, but she belonged to the Xu family. How could a person with such a strong character betray the great rivers and mountains she protects!
She was pierced through the heart by the prince's sword. She thought she was going to see her father and brother, but she didn't expect that when she woke up, she would be imprisoned in this dark attic and become a walking zombie who could not control her life or death.
"Yan Junuo!" A sudden roar pulled Xu Qingmo back from his memories.
Hearing this voice, Xu Qingmo knew that it was His Highness the Crown Prince who came here to sit here every other day - Xie Suxian.
Xie Suxian kicked the door open and barged in. He grabbed Yan Junuo's hand and scolded him coldly: "How did you find this place!"
"Xie Suxian, you're hiding such a person outside, and you're asking me how I found this place. You don't think I'm stupid, do you?" Yan Junuo didn't show any weakness at all.
The two were arguing fiercely, but Xu Qingmo didn't even raise her eyes. She just looked at the incense burner in front of her quietly. She was wondering how long it would take for the requiem incense in the incense burner to burn out.
Not long after, Yan Junuo was taken away by Xie Suxian's people. He walked to Xu Qingmo's side. He sat down on the edge of the soft cave and gently held Xu Qingmo's cold hand: "Did she disturb you?" Oh, it was my fault, I will never let her come here to bother you again!"
Xu Qingmo didn't want to look at him, frowned, and listened quietly, like a lifeless puppet, making no sound.
Xie Suxian slowly lowered his head and kissed Xu Qingmo's forehead gently. She still didn't move. Just when Xie Suxian's kiss was about to fall on her lips, Xu Qingmo turned her head away.
Xie Suxian paused for a moment, then sighed softly: "I heard from Hua Niang that you refuse to eat!"
Xu Qingmo turned back and looked out the window: "No wine, no appetite."
"You can't drink too much!" Xie Suxian was a little helpless, raising her hand to gently caress Xu Qingmo's cheek, "If you should quit drinking, you still have to quit drinking!"
Xu Qingmo lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Xie Suxian looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, unable to resist, and finally had to compromise: "Just this time!"
Xu Qingmo then raised his eyes and looked at Xie Suxian: "No!"
Xie Suxian looked helpless and pinched Xu Qingmo's face lovingly: "I really can't do anything to you!"
Xie Suxian asked Hua Niang to prepare wine and food. Not long after, Hua Niang personally brought the wine and food. Xie Suxian helped Xu Qingmo sit up and untied the iron chain on her hand: "I remember you like to eat squirrels the most. Mandarin fish, I asked them to make it specially, please eat more!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the table full of dishes in front of her, but just pointed to the farthest wine bottle. She still had no strength, no strength to pick up the dishes, no strength to hold the wine, and could only lean softly on Xie Suxian's arms. .
Xie Suxian raised her like this just because her temper was so fierce that if she didn't notice even a little bit, she would kill herself.
Xu Qingmo just leaned in Xie Suxian's arms, taking a mouthful of food and a mouthful of wine. Maybe it was because she was too thin. After eating some, she couldn't eat anymore.
Xie Suxian didn't force it. He asked people to take the things down. Xu Qingmo was unusually well-behaved today. He looked at the bruises on her ankles and thought of applying some medicine to her first.
Xu Qingmo leaned on the recliner, and Xie Suxian gently rolled up her skirt. Xu Qingmo didn't react at all, she just looked at the window lightly.
Xie Suxian applied the ointment to Xu Qingmo bit by bit, and said softly: "You know, I don't like Yan Junuo. Although she is your cousin, she is not as good as you in everything, but his father is now General Protector, you also understand that I will always marry the daughter of a military general."
Xu Qingmo didn't even want to raise her eyes. She knew very well what Xie Suxian would say next: "If you were willing to promise me on the battlefield, you would be the crown princess now."
Xu Qingmo was in a daze, and what Xie Suxian said to her rang in her ears: "...As long as you surrender, I can save your lives... As for those soldiers and generals, you should know that which dynasty did not pile up mountains of bones, blood, and corpses" If they don’t die, we will die!”
Those were soldiers and generals who protected their families and country with their lives, but in the eyes of the current prince, they were just mountains of bones and blood piled up.
Once Xu Qingmo thought of this incident, he felt a little tight in his chest. Everyone in Xu's family died. They were obviously murdered by the royal regime, but in the end, they were charged with treason.
