Xuanyuan, love her...

These words inexplicably caused Xiao Lan's entire body to stiffen, the tips of his fingers slightly moved, and as he was in a daze, the straw cut the tip of his finger, causing a drop of bright red blood to roll down.

Xiao Lan frowned and smiled calmly after a while.

"Love me? Love, I will send me to the darkroom? "

"The prince must have his own difficulties."

"Heh."

Xiao Lan couldn't help but snort coldly. It was laughable, as she seemed to have some difficulties.

Raising his head, he looked at the white ribbon hanging in midair with a faint smile on his face.

"You two really are a pair. All of you speak the same words."

After Xiao Lan finished speaking, he couldn't help but be startled. Right, where are the afterimages? Didn't he come in?

Bai Ling was his fiancee, why wouldn't he come to see her? Besides, his fiancée was on the brink of death.

Noticing Xiao Lan's bewilderment and the words she said earlier, Bai Ling quickly understood what Xiao Lan was wondering, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Princess, even if my relationship with the afterimage is very different, he won't say a word when the prince orders it. Even if he came to this secret room, even if he came to this cell, it wasn't for me."

Xiao Lan, who was sitting on the ground, lifted the corner of her brows and her expression froze. From Bai Ling's tone and expression, it seemed that she and the afterimage were very cold-blooded.

If the afterimages really loved the white silk, even if it was Xuanyuan Wentian's orders, he would still plead a little.

"Bai Ling, how did you and your afterimage reach …"

Before Xiao Lan could finish asking the question, he heard the ear-piercing "Hua La La" sound of the iron lock at the entrance of the prison.

Xiao Lan did not react, nor did he see clearly. However, an overwhelming aura of fear clearly came out from every cell. The sounds of breathing and trembling of bones became stronger and stronger one after another.

Xiao Lan was stunned. What's going on? What happened?

Raising his head, he saw that even the white silk hanging in midair couldn't help but tremble.

Xiao Lan frowned.

Very soon, the very silent cell began to emit cries and wails that were about to pierce one's eardrums. The mournful feeling caused those who heard it to feel a chill all over their body.

He saw a guard whipping a prisoner. The punishment of the whip should not be surprising, but the soft whip in his hand was very different. The entire soft whip was weaved out of thin, hair-like barbs of steel, deeply sinking into the skin of a person's body. When it left, it brought along layers of flesh and blood, how was this a punishment of a whip, it was peeling off their skin.

The more Xiao Lan looked, the more stiff her body became. In the end, even she could feel the rise and fall of the soft whip. The main reason was because she saw it too seriously and clearly.

Ah!

Bai Ling's miserable wail caused Xiao Lan, whose entire body had gone stiff, to instantly come to his senses. His clear gaze instantly shot to his opposite side.

Wu Yu's soft whip was raised high again and again and viciously lashed down.

Ah!

The voice of the white silk became more miserable and even cut.

Xiao Lan's expression tensed up as her fingers curled up into a ball. She stood up from where she stood and took a step towards Bai Ling's cell.

Xiao Lan could tell that Wu Yu was very skillful in her execution. His control of the whip was quite accurate. Every time he lashed out, it would bring flesh but not damage her internal organs. From the looks of it, Wu Yu didn't want Bai Ling's life.

The soft whip was raised once again, and Bai Ling closed her eyes in fear.

Xiao Lan raised his brows. Indeed, he was cold. Even a tough person would become aware of their pain and pain in this dark room.

When Wu Yu's soft whip was about to land again, Xiao Lan slowly spoke.

"You think she won't die if her internal organs aren't injured, but do you know that dying from pain is also a type of death?"

Wu Yu stopped in her tracks and turned around. Her expression changed a few times, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.

"Princess, the punishment of the whip is a rule of the darkroom. As long as someone enters this darkroom, they will be whipped ten times a day for three times. Only then will they have food to eat."

Oh?

The rules of the dark room... So now that she had come in, she was going to be whipped as well.

Hehe …

The corner of Xiao Lan's mouth curled up. She was still concerned about others now, how could she forget that she couldn't even protect herself after crossing the river?

Wu Yu had naturally thought of this as well, and it was also why he was at a loss the most.

Right now, the prince had locked the princess in a secret room, and the afterimages were more like rules, but …

After all, she was a regent's consort, and an extremely pampered one at that. If by any chance the prince and the wangfei were to quarrel, he would be so foolish that he would execute his punishment. At that time …

Wu Yu trembled. She didn't dare to think of such things, not even a little bit.

Xiao Lan originally thought that Wu Yu would reply her, "Royal Consort, you will be punished by the whip as well." However, he didn't expect the brother to start trembling on the spot.

Xiao Lan's clear eyes gradually filled with interest.

"Wu Yu, what's wrong?" "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Suddenly, a voice filled with concern made Wu Yu shudder.

"Esteemed wangfei, your subordinate is fine …"

Nothing happened? Nothing to shake about...

Xiao Lan took another step forward, and this step just happened to move to the side of the fence. Her body slightly tilted as she leaned on the wooden fence.

"Am I going to be punished by the whip too?"

"…"

Wu Yu turned to look at Xiao Lan.

This wangfei was seriously not going to stab her in any way.

"Subordinate... "I don't know."

Don't know?

Xiao Lan's heart froze, and his breathing became nearly inaudible as it sank.

Xuanyuan: It was inevitable that she would be imprisoned in the darkroom. Before coming here, she had already prepared herself for some physical pain.

Now, this daily routine of flogging Wu Yu didn't know whether to hit her or not. What did that mean?

Xiao Lan's pupils constricted as she recalled the afterimages she'd seen earlier. Could he have come to notify the secret chamber of the news that her punishment was not allowed?

The more Xiao Lan thought about it, the heavier her breathing became.

After a moment, he raised his head and looked at the still trembling white silk.

Trouble...

Xuanyuan Wentian couldn't really have any so-called 'difficulties' right?

But what kind of "difficulties" could keep her locked in the darkroom...

The prison gradually quieted down as the guards, who had finished their punishments, moved closer to Wu Yu.

When they got closer, they realized that the atmosphere around Wu Yu was weird.

Their heads were helplessly standing where they were.

Bai Ling was shivering all over as she hung in the air.

Princess Hua-Yang was deep in thought.

The three of them stood a few meters away from each other as if they were in three different worlds.

After leaving the dark room, Shadow returned to the Wordless School with steady steps. He stopped midway and furrowed his brows.

He had come to the secret room to ask Wu Yu to take good care of her, but …

Shadow's brows furrowed even more. He had disobeyed the order.

He couldn't help but feel infuriated. She was cold and merciless. She was an extremely cold-blooded monster. How could his prince fall for such a woman?!

If Wu Yu was smart, he would not have attacked her. If she was not smart, it would not matter if he attacked her. In any case, she was a monster, and he would not mind receiving some punishment.
