Chapter 297
Ling Jingshu stopped talking after she finished
Ling Jingshu stopped talking after she finished
The emperor did not ask questions, she should never speak too much
The emperor must have personally caught the adultery tonight, it is the most disgraceful and angry time
In the head of anger, make what behavior is not strange
In case the emperor an irritation, ordered the pepper room hall all the people are killed, she can not escape!
The emperor’s eyes are still cloudy, voice gloomy terrible: “You only enter the palace half a year, already know the Yu Chun a few people in favor
Ruilian, several of them, have been serving the Empress for several years, how could they not know?
Just now in front of me, how dare they open their eyes and say nonsense”What a group of loyal slave girls!”
The gnashing of teeth was filled with a heart-stopping murderous aura
Cold sweat broke out on Ling Jingshu’s palms
For the first time in her life, death was this close to her, “Your Majesty, please calm your anger!
The slave girl has already told everything she knows, and has in no way concealed anything”
The Emperor looked at Ling Jingshu coldly, “You really didn’t hide anything from me?”
At a time like this, there must not be the slightest hesitation, “Yes, slave girl swears to heaven
If there is a half word of falsehood, the slave girl is willing to die by a thousand cuts”
This kind of ruthless oath once said, the emperor’s gloomy face finally slightly eased a few points: “You say this kind of decisive, I and believe you a time
Come on, Ling Jingshu will be brought into the palace’s heavenly prison, waiting for my sentencing”
After a pause and said: “Remember and Ruilian they were imprisoned separately, shall not be neglected”
Ling Jingshu deeply kowtowed and thanked, “Slave girl thanked Your Majesty for not killing her”
After Ling Jingshu got up and left, the slight relief on the Emperor’s face condensed into ice: “Come on, go and bring over the several chambermaids that Officer Ling just mentioned
I will personally interrogate them all today!”
In the harem, if a concubine or a palace maid made a big mistake, they would be put into the palace’s Heavenly Prison, waiting to be sentenced
The heavenly prison is located in the northernmost corner of the entire palace, there are hundreds of imperial guards on duty, no one can approach at will, the guards are very strict
Into the heavenly prison, want to come out again but really not easy
Unless the Emperor gives the go-ahead, one can only stay in the Heavenly Prison
Ling Jingshu was escorted to the Heavenly Jail by several imperial guards
Compared to the luxury and opulence of the palace, this place seemed like another world
Walking down the narrow staircase, all the eye could see was a narrow cell
The women imprisoned inside had faces full of numbness and gloom, and the dim and uncertain light added a bit of dark and cold flavor to the Heavenly Prison
Rui Lian Qiushang and a few others were all imprisoned inside
When they saw that Ling Jingshu was also escorted in, their faces all showed a look of sympathy
However, no one dared to open their mouths to say anything
The chamberlain handed Ling Jingshu over to the head guard of the Heavenly Prison, ”This is Lady Ling from the Empress’ side
The Emperor has specially instructed that she must not be neglected”
The guards who could make it to chief were naturally not stupid, and immediately heard the inner guard’s words
Tonight in the Pepper Room Hall had a big event, Rui Lian several of them have been brought to the Heavenly Prison to be detained
But the emperor ordered extra care, only this Ling female officer
Under the dim light, the slightly pale face of Officer Ling is amazingly beautiful
This kind of lovely person, even if she was dragged into the heavenly prison by Empress Xu, she would never stay in the heavenly prison for long
The chief guard had a number in his heart and immediately commanded, “Come on, lead Lady Officer Ling to the cell on the lower level”
The first layer of the Heavenly Prison, which held the most common palace maids and chambermaids, was very simple
The second layer of the Heavenly Prison, on the other hand, was reserved for concubines who had made mistakes in the palace
The cells are much more spacious, each one is cleaned up quite well, and also put beds, chairs, toilets and other necessary things
Those in charge of guarding the second level of the Heavenly Prison were all palace ladies, and there were no men entering or leaving
Ling Jingshu’s status as a female official, was put into the second layer of the heavenly prison, it is also considered to be extraordinarily worried about the treatment
The second level of the dungeon was not empty, there had been two concubines incarcerated there before
Ling Jingshu was brought into the innermost cell
A palace maid with a sturdy figure and a mediocre face of about thirty years old, expressionlessly dropped the lock: “Three meals a day will be sent on time, stay inside and be honest, don’t yell and scream all day long”
Ling Jingshu nodded silently
At this time, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and her mind was in chaos, so she really didn’t have the mood to talk
Seeing that she was quite honest and peaceful, that palace maid was very satisfied, and rarely kindly said a few more words, “Those who enter this Heavenly Prison are those who have made a big mistake
Unless the emperor is lenient, otherwise this life will never want to go out
Moreover, no one is allowed to come in and visit here”I would advise you to stay here honestly, and you may still have a day to get out
If you dare to make trouble, you won’t get any good results
Letting you starve for two days without food is considered light”
Ling Jingshu barely managed to raise her spirits, “Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely stay here peacefully and honestly, and will never scream or yell”
Being awakened from her dream, she came out in a hurry and had no time to freshen up
There was only a gold hairpin on her head and the jade bracelet she usually wore on her hand
Ling Jingshu pulled down both the hairpin and the jade bracelet, and shoved them into the courtesan’s hands, “Please take care of your sister in the future”
The gold hairpin was simple and generous, with exquisite workmanship
The jade bracelet was of excellent color, and it was clear at a glance that it was not ordinary
The courtesan is also knowledgeable, weighed in her hands, quickly stuffed into her arms, her face suddenly had a smile: “It’s already midnight, you go to sleep first
Tomorrow morning I will bring water to freshen you up”
Ling Jingshu gave her thanks
The palace maid quickly left
Ling Jingshu let out a long breath, her eyes glanced around the cell, a bitter smile spilling from her lips
Unexpectedly, there was still a prison sentence after entering the palace
This cell was cleaned fairly well, with a bed, a table and chairs, a chest, and a small vanity mirror
Even the lowest class palace maid lived in a place that was a bit better than this
It was impossible to be picky about this now
Ling Jingshu walked over to the bed and lay down with her clothes closed
After so many things had happened, she had no sleep at this time, her eyes were open, and her mind was filled with thoughts
Empress Xu’s downfall was already a foregone conclusion
The emperor again broad-minded, but also will never allow a woman who does not abide by women’s morals to sit in the position of the empress
Only, this kind of palace scandal, the emperor is also never happy to see spread
That is why he immediately blocked the Pepper Room Hall and secretly interrogated the people in the Pepper Room Hall
To dispose of Empress Xu, will only find another excuse
Empress Xu fell, the wings of the Yan King is also less than a big help, it is impossible to be the Crown Prince’s rival
There is also Changping Princess, without Empress Xu backing, will no longer be as domineering and arrogant as in the previous life
Everything known in the previous life, finally at this time completely reversed direction
And Wei Yan, can also unload the heavy burden, quietly breathe a sigh of relief
Although she was locked up in the Heavenly Prison, Ling Jingshu surprisingly did not feel flustered
Wei Yan knew that she was locked up in the Heavenly Dungeon, and would definitely think of ways to get her out!
