Gu Changsu couldn't persuade her and had to agree.

The prison was dark, and Hua Yuanshan shivered involuntarily the moment he entered.

This place had just experienced a severe torture, and the smell of blood was still in the air.

Hua Yuanshan covered her nose in disgust, her chest feeling stuffy. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes to feel at ease, she would never have come to such a filthy place!

After passing the torture chamber and several empty cells, Hua Yuanshan immediately saw Hua Yuanzhao lying on the straw with his head hanging, his life or death unknown.

She suppressed her inner excitement and cried out: "Eldest sister..."

As soon as the jailer opened the door, she rushed into the cell like a flash, and stopped near the haystack, pretending to wipe away her tears.

"Eldest sister...it's my fault that I came too late..."

"Why, is your face healed?"

Hua Yuanzhao, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze passed over Hua Yuanshan's brow and fixed on her face.

This guy is really persistent. Even after becoming like this, he still didn't forget to come and see if she is dead or not!

Hua Yuanzhao suddenly spoke up, and Hua Yuanshan, who was feeling guilty, was so frightened that she turned pale and stumbled into the fence.

All of a sudden, Yuan Chunfeng, who had been quiet, became furious. His shackled hands reached over the fence and fiercely grasped Hua Yuanshan's neck, which was so fragile that it could not be broken at all.

Everything happened in a flash. Yuan Chunfeng looked ferocious as if he was crazy. Not to mention Hua Yuanzhao, even Gu Changsu, who often dealt with these people, was panicked for a moment.

In desperation, the jailer drew his knife and stabbed the crazy Yuan Chunfeng through the bars.

As if seeking death, Yuan Chunfeng suddenly let go of Hua Yuanshan and rushed towards the knife light.

The bright red blood dripped down, and Hua Yuanshan, who had escaped death, cried and threw herself into Gu Changsu's arms.

The jailer came back to his senses and hurriedly drew his knife and ran to call a doctor. Hua Yuanzhao stood there in a daze, staring at the blood, feeling sad.

——Why would this person suddenly want to commit suicide? Doesn’t he have unfinished business? He’s clearly survived all these years…

Yuan Chunfeng slid to the ground, his originally ferocious face finally regained its calmness. While no one was paying attention to this side, Hua Yuanzhao quietly lowered his body, reached his hand over the fence and wanted to close his eyes.

Yuan Chunfeng looked at Hua Yuanzhao's features, which were similar to those of his old friend, unwillingly, thinking that he was cowardly, and in the end he still failed to find a wife for the Pavilion Master.

But how many times can he take this drug that destroys his mind? If he eventually loses his mind and becomes a madman who says whatever he is asked, how can he be worthy of the Pavilion Master?

The dying Yuan Chunfeng looked at Hua Yuanzhao who was close to him, and broken words came out of his throat.

"In good clothes, riding three whites... revolving ropes and stepping on nine stars... at the end of Ziwu Lane... antique shop..."

Hua Yuanzhao's pupils suddenly shrank, but after Yuan Chunfeng said this, he closed his eyes as if relieved, and was completely silent.

…

On the other side, the frightened Hua Yuanshan was almost carried by Gu Changsu into the carriage back home. The carriage suddenly stopped halfway, Haitang lifted the curtain and said in a low voice: "Miss, Princess..."

Before she could finish her words, she was pushed aside. Princess Lin'an squeezed into the carriage and asked impatiently, "What happened?"

Is that woman dead or not?

Hua Yuanshan forced herself to cheer up and shook her head helplessly.

"Tsk..." Princess Lin'an frowned in disgust: "Does she have nine lives? How come she can get away with it every time?"

Hua Yuanshan sighed: "If the Queen wakes up and gets rewarded, it will be difficult for us to take action again..."

"She wants to snatch my aunt away!" Princess Lin'an shouted angrily.

Hua Yuanshan looked at Princess Lin'an with embarrassment, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Princess Lin'an rolled her eyes.

"It's not impossible. After the Empress wakes up, if she visits her frequently under the pretext of follow-up visits, maybe..." Hua Yuanshan said meaningfully.

"She wishes!" Princess Lin'an was furious.

"Unless, the Queen doesn't wake up tomorrow..." Hua Yuanshan lowered her voice and said meaningfully.

"You want to harm my aunt!" Princess Lin'an widened her eyes and rejected it without hesitation: "No!"

"Why would I harm you?" Hua Yuanshan lowered her voice and said, "I just want the princess to think of a way to make the queen wake up two hours later..."

She paused and said meaningfully, "Didn't the young general just present an incense burner from the Western Regions?"

Princess Lin'an gritted her teeth and understood what she meant in an instant.

She had often gone to the palace since she was young. It would have been easy for her to bribe a palace maid and tamper with the incense in Kunning Palace to add some sleeping pills.

She tilted her head and called out, "Hongying."
