From a favored concubine high above everyone else to a prisoner now, Sun Lanxin fell directly from the clouds into the abyss, suffering the most tormenting torture in her life.

Imprisoned, she wore thin, dirty prison clothes, lived in a dark, damp, and cold cell, and ate only unpalatable leftover rice husks. Unfortunately, she was also in the same cell with two strong women. Upon learning that Sun Lanxin had colluded with the head of the Night Palace of the Xiao Kingdom to destroy Dayan, they flew into a rage.

The two women, both female bandits who killed the rich and helped the poor, had been in the prison for several years, but their heroic spirit was still there. Although they were illiterate, they understood the relationship between country and family. Why was Sun Lanxin so confused?

They were born into a lowly life, subjected to humiliation and forced to become bandits. And this Sun Lanxin was a pampered and literate young lady, yet she actually did such an unvirtuous thing! If the Xiao Kingdom conquered Dayan, wouldn't the people's lives be even more difficult?

The two old women discussed it and decided to beat her up every morning, noon and evening.

Even the limited food delivered to the prison had to wait until the two of them had eaten before Sun Lanxin could have her turn.

What made her life even worse than death was that the two old women said that she, Sun Lanxin, had an affair with the people of Xiao country, relying on her seductive face. They used their nails to scratch her originally pretty face, leaving crisscross scars.

Sun Lanxin was a completely different person now. She had lost a lot of weight, her hair was disheveled, her face was covered with scars, and she looked lifeless. She curled up in a corner of the cell, shivering like a helpless quail in the snow.

She closed her eyes in despair.

When she was captured and imprisoned in the prison, she still had illusions at first. She told herself that this was temporary. Xiao Lang had said that she was the woman he loved most in his life. In order to be able to fly with her, Xiao Lang had never married until now. He must have known that she was suffering in the prison and would definitely find a way to rescue her.

But more than a month had passed, why hadn't he come yet? Even if he was very busy, he could have arranged for his assassins to come and rescue her.

"Do you miss your owl?"

Just as Sun Lanxin closed her eyes in despair and shed tears, she suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. She opened her eyes and saw Fang Qingqing, wearing a fox fur cloak, with a rosy face and a smile on her face, standing in front of her!

It was Fang Qingqing again! If it weren't for her, how could she have fallen to this point! Rather than suffer torture in the dungeon, it would be better to fight for her life and die together with Fang Qingqing!

Having made up her mind, she suddenly stood up, raised her chained hands, and was about to hit Fang Qingqing's stomach!

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

Before she could even get close to Fang Qingqing, Yuan Qing kicked her away and then mercilessly stepped on her arm. Hearing the crisp crack of bone fracture and seeing Sun Lanxin's face in pain, Yuan Qing leaned over and slapped her twice, then snorted coldly and retreated to Fang Qingqing's side.

Humph! With Yuan Qing around, thinking of hurting Fang Qingqing is courting death! If Qing'er hadn't said that Sun Lanxin was still somewhat useful, he would have twisted her head off!

Even the two rough old women in the same cell with Sun Lanxin were frightened to death, hiding away and not daring to breathe. This man was even more cruel than them!

The visitor was a pregnant woman with a bulging belly. She must have been the Princess Yu who had ripped off Sun Lanxin's mask. The two old women looked at Fang Qingqing with admiration. She was a great contributor to Dayan. Otherwise, Sun Lanxin, this scourge, would have colluded with the Palace Master of Xiaoguo and would surely have brought Dayan to its knees.

"Does it hurt? I can help you relieve the pain, but you have to tell me one thing."

The guard brought over a chair, and Fang Qingqing sat down in front of Sun Lanxin. She stared at the disheveled Sun Lanxin and asked with a smile.

This Sun Lanxin really played a good hand of cards badly. If it weren't for Yang Xiao, Sun Kuang would never have had such evil thoughts. In the end, because of treason and collaborating with the enemy, the Sun family ended up with nine generations of the family being implicated.

After a month of being held captive, with poor food, sleep, and constant beatings and scolding, Sun Lanxin was utterly weakened. Now with a broken left wrist, the ripping pain in her body had driven her completely to collapse. She howled wildly, her mouth grimacing, but the dark-faced man standing next to Fang Qingqing kept shaking his fist at her.

"If you don't shut up, I'll break your other arm too..."

Yuan Qing couldn't bear it anymore and yelled.

Sun Lanxin, sweating profusely, had no choice but to grit her teeth, trembling all over, not daring to make a sound.

"Sixteen years ago, Yang Xiao came to Kyoto and met a lover. You know about this, right?"

Sun Lanxin was stunned. Why did Fang Qingqing suddenly ask about this?

Of course she knew it, and she had been jealous of her because of this, but Yang Xiao said that it was just a fleeting romance and didn't count.

"That's right! Prince Yu has led his army into the Xiao Kingdom. Spies have reported that everyone in Mingye Palace knows that the Palace Master is obsessed with the woman from sixteen years ago. Haha, men are all like this. Even though he has Sun Lanxin, who was willing to give up her bright future and risk her entire family's lives for him, he's still obsessed with another woman..."

"The servants of Mingye Palace said that the reason Palace Master Yang Xiao has never married is because he is obsessed with finding that woman..."

"I also heard that Yang Xiao kept the woman's red bellyband close to his body at all times. His love for her was so deep that it was truly earth-shattering and heart-wrenching..."

"That person is, that person is Liu Ruyan..."

Sun Lanxin trembled and finally squeezed out a word from between her teeth.

She completely collapsed. The reason she persisted until now was because she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart that the Xiao Lang she had been thinking about would definitely save her. But she was wrong. Yang Xiao's feelings for her were all false. Otherwise, how could he ignore her...

What he said, that he would live with her forever after achieving great things, was nothing but lies.

"Xiao Lang, you deceived me so much..."

She screamed, got up and tried to hit her head against the wall.

"Get back!"

Yuan Qing was quick to leap and kick her away. "Want to die?" Qing'er said she would use her to lure out Sun Kuang and the Ryukyu Gang!

"Sun Lanxin, your father Sun Kuang's collusion with the Xiao Kingdom must have involved you, right? Tsk tsk, do you know what your father is doing now? He's spent all his hidden wealth to collude with the Ryukyu Gang in an attempt to kill me..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, are you all stupid? You ended up like this just for Yang Xiao's empty promise. Anyone with a bit of common sense should know that your enemy is Yang Xiao, not Fang Qingqing!"

"If it weren't for Yang Xiao, Sun Kuang would have been his general, and you would have been your favorite concubine. After Lv Shufang was banished to the cold palace, wouldn't the position of empress be yours? Your Sun family's wealth and glory would have been preserved, right?"

"Fang Qingqing! Just tell me what you want me to do!"

Sun Lanxin collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with hatred. She used all her strength to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth...
