"Protect them, I'll go out and take a look." Zhong Ran said to A Qi and was about to leave Qinggong. Xue Che came over with little Yueyue in his arms and said, "Madam, can you help me with something?"

"You want to see Hui Xi?"

Xue Che nodded, "Well, there is a chaos in the city now, and my senior brother has been detained and imprisoned. I don't know what's going on with him. I'm very worried about him."

Zhong Ran was silent for a moment and said, "I'll take you to see him."

Zhong Ran also wanted to see how that man was doing. After all, he was in this situation thanks to her.

Such a noble person fell from the clouds to dust, and his mentality collapsed. Can he adapt to the terrible environment of the prison?

"Really?" Xue Che was overjoyed.

"Ah."

Zhong Ran called Yu Zhen to hand over little Yueyue to him, and told her how to feed and urinate. After making sure he understood everything, he took Xue Che and climbed out from the wall.

The guard guarding the prison immediately clasped his fists in salute when he saw Zhong Ran. Before she could say anything, Zhong Ran waved his hands to show courtesy and said directly, "Take me to see the Imperial Master."

The guard responded and led the way.

The entire palace was controlled by Zhong Ran's people, and she entered and exited the palace as if she were in her own general's palace.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the palace, as if a storm was coming.

When the iron doors of the prison were opened, the prisoners wailed loudly, as if they were in hell.

The further in, the smell became more pungent and unpleasant. Zhong Ran frowned more and more. Seeing that the leading guard had no intention of stopping, he asked, "Is he in the water prison?"

The guard responded, opened a secret door, lit a torch and led the way.

"Your Highness, watch your step."

Zhong Ran's face turned cold and he said nothing. He grabbed the torch and strode inside.

The water is trapped underground, and the environment is particularly humid and harsh.

The scary part is that there are many insects and snakes deliberately placed in the water. The water is very dirty. The prisoner stands in the water with the water level above the chest of the body.

Because prisoners cannot sit down and rest, if they stand in the water for a long time, their bodies will become swollen and rotten or eaten by insects and snakes until they fall into the water and drown.

It's like being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

The naked Wei Xi was tied up in the water, and the water submerged his chest. His neck was white and dazzling. His bald head was drooped, and he looked completely breathless.

Xue Che screamed in surprise and his senior brother was about to step forward. Zhong Ran held him back, handed him the torch, walked into the water and untied the rope, and Ni Xi leaned softly into her arms.

Zhong Ran touched his body, which was so cold that there was no trace of warmth. He quickly used his hands to explore his nose, breathing weakly. Fortunately, he was still alive.

Inject inner strength into him, gently pat his cheek and call him, "Huixi, Huixi..."

Fei Xi felt a warmth in her body that had been injected with internal energy. She slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were still clear, but they were in a trance and without focus. After just a moment, she closed them again tiredly.

There were no signs of torture on his body. After all, he was a Buddhist master who was respected by the world. The prison chief did not dare to use those horrific torture instruments on him.

He carried the man on his shoulders and left, heading straight to the general's mansion.

Qingshang Imperial City, the sealed basement of Lanzhai.

The basement is an emergency shelter known only to successive heads of the Lan family. It is not very large, with just one bedroom, a bed, a table and daily necessities, but there are enough supplies in it to feed and drink three to five people for a month.

At this time, there were six people in the basement, including Lan Nanxing and the waiter Xiaoping Xiaoan, as well as Song Jin and his two guards.

Since Chun Yuyan led his people into the imperial city and massacred them wantonly, Lan Nanxing immediately took a few people to hide here. Five days have passed, and he doesn't know what is going on outside.

At this time, Lan Nanxing was lying on the bed. The quilt wrapped him tightly and only his head was exposed. His face was pale and haggard. There was a basin on hand to catch his vomit at any time.
