He was locked up again.
Tang Nian moved his fingers. The surrounding decoration was no less gorgeous than the prison he was in before. Fortunately, Tang Nian had been here once or twice before - Fengxiang Palace.
Different from the vicissitudes of life outside, the furnishings inside look like an exquisite birdcage.
As long as Tang Nian moved, the golden shackles shone with a cold light, in stark contrast to the surrounding gorgeous decorations.
They bound Tang Nian's wrists tightly, and the white skin formed a dazzling contrast with the golden shackles, as if it was a picture that was deliberately emphasized.
Tang Nian gently twisted his wrist, and the golden shackles made a crisp "ding-dong" sound, echoing in the quiet cage, as if telling a silent protest and helplessness.
His wrists are as slender as branches, and his fair skin looks even more fragile and helpless against the backdrop of gold and iron. Every sound seemed to evoke the pain and bitterness in his heart. The pain behind him was faint, and Tang Nian supported the "special" cell next to him.
The surrounding stone walls were cold and hard, and the cold breath oppressed his body.
He felt as if his throat had been rubbed with sandpaper, painful and hoarse, and every breath carried an unbearable burning sensation.
Tang Nian tried to speak, but his voice was stuck in his throat, leaving only a weak hoarse sound. His eyes flashed with anger and helplessness, a sense of powerlessness being teased by fate. He held the golden shackles in his hands tightly, and the cold metal in his hands seemed to increase his pain.
"Xiao Yan..."
There was a dark prison in front of him, and the air was filled with damp and musty smell, as if it was a heavy despair that made him breathless. His anger was like a fire, burning in his heart, but there was nowhere to vent it.
"Are you awake?" A hoarse voice broke the dead silence in the prison. Tang Nian's pupils suddenly shrank, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
The visitor was dressed in dark purple attire, tall and elegant. Her face was covered with heavy makeup, but it couldn't hide her pale complexion and tired eyes. There was a cold light in her eyes, as if she could see through all lies and disguises.
A faint hoarse sound came from Tang Nian's throat. He struggled to stand up, but the woman in purple raised her hand to stop him.
"Don't waste your efforts." The woman in purple sneered, "Xiao Yan brought you here and never thought of letting you out."
Good concubine!
She is a good concubine who has been relegated to the cold palace for a long time.
Looking back now, Xiao Yan's decision to relegate her to the cold palace was completely a cover-up!
Tang Nian's heart sank and he suddenly realized.
He had no friendship with this good concubine, because she was once Xiao Yan's favorite concubine, but she was framed and thrown into the cold palace.
However, now it seems that all this is Xiao Yan's conspiracy.
He looked at the woman in front of him coldly, doubts and vigilance flashing in his eyes. His heart was full of struggle, not knowing how to face this sudden dilemma.
Liang Fei looked at Tang Nian's eyes and sneered at the corner of her mouth. She raised her hand and gently stroked Tang Nian's cheek, her fingers as cold as iron. She leaned close to Tang Nian's ear and whispered, "She is really a beauty." But the next second, Liang Fei pushed Tang Nian away violently, and Tang Nian staggered and fell directly to the ground.
And the one who started it was looking at him condescendingly.
"Do you know why Xiao Yan locked you up here?"
Tang Nian was silent for a moment, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.
Liang Fei's eyes narrowed slightly, "You are seeking death yourself, you can't blame others."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and the candles in the prison suddenly went out.
The surroundings fell into dead silence, and only Tang Nian's rapid breathing could be heard.
"Well." Tang Nian felt his eyes go dark. A black figure fell in front of him in the dark night. However, Tang Nian couldn't make a sound and could only watch the black figure approaching him.
Xie Jincheng sneaked into Fengxiang Palace and took advantage of the darkness to release incense and knock down the good concubine. Hearing the sound of heavy objects, Xie Jincheng walked lightly through the long corridor and arrived at the cell where Tang Nian was held.
In the cell, Tang Nian was huddled in the corner, his face pale and his eyes tightly closed. Xie Jincheng touched his face distressedly and called softly: "Master, master."
After a moment, Tang Nian slowly opened his eyes and saw a trace of surprise in his eyes when he saw Xie Jincheng. Xie Jincheng signaled him to be silent, and then quickly looked for the key in the cell.
"Master, where is the key? Where is the key? Do you know that there is almost chaos outside, Xiao Yan is going crazy."
Tang Nian's brows furrowed and he shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up. He felt as if his body was being swallowed by endless darkness, and Xie Jincheng's voice seemed to come from a distant place.
"Master, hurry up, open your handcuffs." Xie Jincheng put the key in Tang Nian's hand, "Quick, open it yourself."
Tang Nian looked at the key in his hand with blurred eyes. His hands were trembling and he tried several times before inserting the key into the keyhole. With a "click", the shackles were opened.
Xie Jincheng also found the key to the golden prison on Liang Fei, and after opening the door, he quickly rescued Tang Nian.
"Let's go." Xie Jincheng took Tang Nian's hand and ran out of the cell.
However, as soon as they left the cell door, they ran into guards holding torches.
"Who is this!" the guards shouted loudly, torches lighting up the dark prison.
Tang Nian and Xie Jincheng were shocked and were about to turn around and run away when they saw a guard holding up a torch and rushing towards them.
In desperation, Xie Jincheng grabbed Tang Nian's hand, jumped up suddenly, turned over in the air, and landed firmly on a cell beam.
The guards in the prison screamed again and again, looking up at the two people on the beam, dumbfounded.
"What are you doing standing still? Catch them quickly!" The leading guard came to his senses and shouted hurriedly.
However, the two people on the beam had already disappeared into the darkness.
Xie Jincheng pulled Tang Nian and ran all the way through the maze-like corridors of the prison.
"Master, I will tell you about Xiao Yan in detail slowly, but now, you must come with me first. These days, Xiao Yan is like crazy. He abandoned the concubines in the harem without talking about it, and even found out that I was with Sister, now...the hospital is too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
Behind him are the pursuers, and in front of him is the abyss.
Tang Nian felt that his heart was about to stop beating. Xie Jincheng held his hand tightly and pulled him towards him. Tang Nian only had time to let out a exclamation before he was thrown to the ground by Xie Jincheng.
There was a hard floor beneath him, and Xie Jincheng stood in front of him, absorbing most of the momentum. Tang Nian felt his heart beat suddenly, and an unprecedented fear surged into his heart.
"Let's go!" Xie Jincheng shouted loudly, pushing Tang Nian out at the same time.
Before Tang Nian had time to look back at Xie Jincheng, a flying arrow came across the sky...
