The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Lou Jian was about to return to his room when he was surrounded by a group of eunuchs on his way. He still remembered these people, and the leader was Eunuch Li who had tried to make things difficult for him yesterday.

"It's you again, you ugly slave. What are you doing here instead of cleaning? You will be punished for being lazy!"

"You're so ugly! I don't know how you managed to appear in the palace with such a scar." Eunuch Li took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his nose with it. He looked even more arrogant than his master.

Although these people were punished yesterday, Eunuch Li spent some money to bribe the executioner. The executioner was very careful with the severity of the punishment, and the next day, these people came out alive and kicking to show off their power.

"Eunuch, why should we be afraid of him? Since he is a criminal slave, even if he is beaten to death, what difference does it make? We may even get a reward from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The little eunuch beside him flattered him mindlessly, supporting Eunuch Li to show his deterrence.

"...This, I'm afraid, is inappropriate." After hearing what the young eunuch said, Eunuch Li began to feel like backing off.

They had to be somewhat cautious about Lord Jiang's attitude. Besides, Eunuch Li was just pretending to be powerful in front of these eunuchs.

He privately talked about how glorious he had been in the mansion of Prince Yu, but in fact only he himself knew the truth. He was nothing more than a clerk in a small kitchen without much real power. He was sent to the Eastern Palace and couldn't even get a lucrative job.

"Didn't Eunuch Li say that he was very proud in front of His Royal Highness Prince Yu? Are you afraid of offending a small criminal slave? We all rely on you, Eunuch! We were implicated because of this person yesterday, and now there is no one around... Eunuch..."

Seeing the other party's hesitation, a few eunuchs added fuel to the fire.

They were greedy for the good life of following Eunuch Li, so they served him submissively. But in the past six months, they only listened to Eunuch Li's boasting, but didn't get to eat a bite of meat, and even got beaten.

If the other party cannot stand up for them this time, these little eunuchs will naturally stop flattering Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li was well aware of this, and he felt very embarrassed as he was put in a difficult situation by a few young eunuchs.

But he had been coaxed into telling everything. If he displeased these people now, they would probably expose his identity as a spy, and then he would be really finished.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Li made up his mind and planned to take a few young eunuchs to teach this ugly slave a lesson in private.

Anyway, the other party was injured, and even if the injury was serious, it would probably not be noticeable.

Lou Jian felt very upset. He was stopped at the door by several people. He listened to them discussing how to deal with him in front of him, and his fists gradually clenched.

"Hmph, you're unlucky to meet us today!" Taking out a piece of extremely tough hemp rope from his sleeve, Eunuch Li leaned over, cursing Lou Jian's appearance.

But before Eunuch Li could get close, a long sword suddenly pierced through Eunuch Li's chest. Blood flowed out from the wound, but he had no time to react.

The sword was pulled away, and blood gushed out from the hole in his chest. Eunuch Li fell to the ground in the snow with a thump and never got up again.

This sudden change made the eunuchs around scream, and when they turned around, they saw the Crown Prince holding a bloody sword and standing quietly behind them. Their hair stood on end, and they knelt in the snow in fear, trembling and begging for mercy incoherently.

Lou Jian only raised her head when she saw Eunuch Li fall down.

The prince's swift killing posture fell into his eyes. The emotionless gaze and the blood-stained sword were like steel needles piercing his eyeballs, making his body twitch in pain.

I don't know whether I was horrified by the other party's cruel look or I was so self-indulgent as to think that this was all for my own complicated pain.

Intellectually, he shouldn't bring too many emotions from the past. He came here this time... obviously to...

"Since you still have the energy to wander around, just wait on me closely."

Throwing away the bloody sword, You Mu turned and left. Jiang Ya would personally deal with the remaining eunuchs.

"……Yes."

Lou Jian followed the other party all the way to the private prison in the Eastern Palace where she had been detained.

The prince ignored Lou Jian who was following him. He took off his coat, took the wine jug from Jiang Ya who came over, and drank a few gulps.

Even though Jiang Ya tried to persuade him quietly, he was unable to stop the prince from guzzling the liquor.

A small jar of strong liquor went into his stomach, and it seemed to burn his originally damp and cold body. You Mu shook his head, feeling his vague consciousness and hot body, he drew out the long sword beside him, and walked down from the prison.

He said he was interrogating the assassins who attacked, but he knew that these people were sent by the Third Prince.

The Emperor is selfish. He wants his princes to keep fighting, but he doesn't want them to make too much noise and affect the situation in the court. Therefore, this attack must be suppressed after a huge uproar.

He had no intention of reporting the matter to the Emperor, and even if he obtained the confessions of these people, it would not be of much value.

The torture was just a way to vent the overly agitated emotions and the urge to brutally kill people after drinking the Cold Food Wine.

Jiang Ya was thoughtful and didn't let Lou Jian follow him in. But just standing outside, Lou Jian could hear the constant screams of the prisoners inside.

It was extremely brutal, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger. The sound of the blade cutting through flesh and slicing off limbs was dull and struck heavily beside the ears.

The cries for mercy gradually became weaker from the beginning until there was no sound anymore...

Her heart sank to the bottom, and Lou Jian couldn't figure it out...

The Lou family was massacred and burned, and more than 200 people were buried in the fire. They were charged with false charges of treason, and even the eldest sister's husband and his family were implicated.

They said that the Lou family was a discarded pawn in the prince's chess game.

At that time, he had just returned to Beijing from his grandmother's home in the countryside and brought some delicious country food, crispy biscuits, to his brother the prince...

I was only away for half a month, and after returning home I took a nap for an afternoon. When I woke up, everything had changed.

Daddy said that the prince would come over later. He was so happy holding the shortbread that he went to the study room at home to look for him as usual. But he saw his dad kneeling in front of the prince, with a sword piercing his chest...

'Bah! '

The biscuit fell to the ground, broke free from its oil paper wrapping, became stained with dirt and could no longer be eaten.

He was so frightened that he lost the ability to speak. He stood at the door staring at the scene, unable to react...

"A Chou?"

Memories receded like the tide, and Lou Jian suddenly woke up to find the prince standing in front of her, covered in blood.

Many drops of blood splashed on the other person's cheeks, and some of them fell into his eyes, staining the corners of his eyes red.

Frightened by You Mu's behavior, Lou Jian remained stiff for a long time before lowering his head and responding.

"Here." He threw the coat to Lou Jian. You Mu, wearing a thin robe and covered in blood, went to the hot spring pool on the side to bathe in the flying snow.

The hem of his clothes was stained with too much blood, and every step You Mu took would leave a pool of bright red blood on the snow.

The palace road was too long, and the blood trail stretched a long way.

Lou Jian followed behind him, stepping on the snow soaked with blood, feeling a stuffy pain in his chest.

-----------------

Ah Chou is very twisted. On one side is the hatred deliberately guided by the rules, and on the other side is the love deep in his soul. The two are tearing each other apart and causing him constant torture.
