She shook her head, "I...I have never met Sister Yunxuan."

"Really?" Liang Qingchen raised his eyebrows, "But she said she had seen you before."

Yunshan was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely: "Yes, I have seen it before..."

Liang Qingchen sighed and gave Xu Lang a look.

Xu Lang immediately raised his foot and kicked Yunshan in the knee. She was caught off guard and fell to her knees.

Yunshan was shocked. She lost her grip on the medicine bag and spilled the herbs all over the floor. Her knees hit the rocks and she frowned in pain. "Xu Lang, what are you doing?"

Xu Lang did not answer.

Sui Miao grabbed her wrists and untied the gauze on her hands in a few seconds.

There was a bloody wound on her palm, which was still oozing blood.

Liang Qingchen sneered: "Your wound doesn't look like it can be cut by ordinary herbs."

Yunshan didn't expect that he would directly tear off the gauze on his hand to check the wound. He hesitated and didn't know how to explain for a while.

Liang Qingchen suddenly ordered, "Xu Lang, go get a basin of water for her to wash her hands."

"Yes." Xu Lang immediately retreated.

He stared at her and asked, "Yunshan, how many years have you been in the palace?"

Yunshan half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and whispered, "Five years."

"How has the princess treated you in the past five years?"

She pursed her lips and said, "The Queen... treats us very well."

"If that's the case, why did you want to harm her?"

Yunshan's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock and confusion, "My Lord..."

Liang Qingchen said: "Yun Xuan never mentioned you."

Yunshan then realized that she had been set up and that he had just lied to her. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Sister Yunxuan...how is she?"

"I have ordered her to be thrown into the water dungeon."

Yunshan's face turned pale instantly.

How could she not know what the underground water dungeon in the palace looked like? She could already imagine Yun Xuan standing in a dirty pool, his hands and feet bound by chains, with water pouring into the pool from several water outlets on the four sides of the wall. In the dark dungeon, the water rose up and then fell down, repeatedly torturing him.

At this time, Xu Lang came back with a basin of clean water. Sui Miao took out a packet of medicine powder and poured it into the basin. After stirring it, he pressed her hand into the water, not caring that she gasped in pain.

As soon as her hand touched the water, it turned red, but in a flash the blood dissipated and disappeared without a trace, and the water in the basin remained clear.

Yunshan knew that he was completely finished.

Sui Miao saw that the time was about right, so she took her hand out of the water and presented it to Liang Qingchen. The blood on her hand had dissipated, and the wounds had become clear, crisscrossed, with a faint blue mark visible.

The truth is obvious. The blue marks on Yunshan's hands were caused by touching litmus moss. She cut her hands to cover it up.

Liang Qingchen lowered his eyes to look at her expression, and he had already made up his mind, "Yunshan, Yunxuan has taken good care of you over the years, can you bear to let her be wronged for you and suffer this crime?"

“No.” Yunshan shook his head. “Sister Yunxuan said that you need her medical skills and she won’t punish her excessively.”

"Heh..." Liang Qingchen sneered and pursed his thin lips slightly, "It seems that you have been with me for too little time and don't understand my style of doing things well enough."

"But... Sister Yunxuan said that she has been with you the longest, and you will cherish our friendship..."

"Oh? Why don't I take you to see her first, and then you can decide whether to tell the truth."

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward. Seeing this, Sui Miao immediately grabbed Yun Shan by the back of her neck and lifted her up, following behind Liang Qing Chen. Xu Lang also hurriedly followed.

Liang Qingchen walked to the palace garden and saw him stop beside a stone on the bank of the lotus pond. He stepped on it and after a moment, ripples appeared on the originally calm water surface and a huge rockery in the center of the pool slowly rose out of the water.

Then, stone piles stretched out from under the water in front of him, forming a path on the water surface that extended all the way to the rockery in the center.

He walked up and came to the rockery in the center with steady steps. The rockery was a full ten feet high and hollow in the middle, like a small stone palace. There was a wide opening on the ground in the middle, through which one could see the stone stairs winding down, with no bottom in sight.

Liang Qingchen walked down slowly, followed by Sui Miao and Xu Lang, holding Yun Shan hostage.

The stone staircase was very long, with stands for oil lamps on both sides of the wall. All the way down there was only faint light, and it was dim.

Yunshan had been here once, but was still disturbed by the gloomy and depressing environment here. She didn't dare to look around and wanted to escape, but her hands were clamped by Xu Lang, so she had to follow him closely.

After walking up the stone stairs, there was a narrow corridor. There used to be a hidden weapon mechanism here, but it was now closed by Liang Qingchen. After walking for a while, a tall stone door appeared in front of him, with a stone statue on each side of the door.

Liang Qingchen pulled the trigger, and the stone door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a huge water dungeon before them.

Below are small pools with smooth walls and eight water outlets. Through the dim light, you can see something wriggling in the water.

Unexpectedly, when she came in again three years later, the place had been upgraded. She remembered that there was nothing in the water when she came in last time.

At this time, Yun Xuanhun was standing in one of the small pools, his body soaking wet, his hands, feet and neck were all tied with chains. The slightest movement was accompanied by the harsh collision of chains and the sound of tinkling bells, which caused the long creature in the water to wriggle much faster.

As they got closer, Yunshan could see clearly that the squirming things in the water were actually shiny black water snakes. Some of them were wriggling in the water, some were clinging to the edge of the pool and trying to climb up, but they would slide back into the pool after climbing a few inches. Some were even clinging to Yunxuan's body and spitting at her wet and scarred face. Yunxuan lowered her head with her eyes half closed, and it was unknown whether she was conscious or not.

She was so shocked by the scene that her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Liang Qingchen turned his back to her, staring at the pool, and said slowly: "These are the little pets that I ordered people to raise. I named them Shui Mo. They are not poisonous, they like shade, and they like to eat human blood. Do you see the bells on the chain? These bells can make them excited when they ring. Look at them, aren't they very cute?"

Yunshan couldn't help shivering all over. She looked up at the tall and straight back of the man in front of her. He seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy aura, which made people feel cold all over.

Only then did she realize that she had never seen the true face of her master for all these years.
