Chapter 308
There was no sunlight in the Heavenly Prison
There was only a dim candle flame
During the daytime, the candle flame was burning and the light was dim
At night, after the candle flame was blown out, it was plunged into boundless darkness
The rules in the Heavenly Prison were strict, no yelling or crying was allowed
The female officials and court ladies who have just been put into the Heavenly Jail will inevitably cry and make a lot of noise in the beginning
After being starved for a few meals, they soon became more honest
The first level of the heavenly prison was quickly filled up, and some of them were transferred to the second level of the heavenly prison
Rui Lian several people were among them
Only, each person was separated by a few cells
They could see each other through the iron doors, but were unable to speak
The palace maid who was guarding the second layer of the Heavenly Prison had been glaring at the several of them with her eyes wide open!
Having tasted starvation before, no one dared to speak freely anymore
Ling Jingshu lived in the innermost heavenly prison, and at first she had a flurry of thoughts, thinking about Bai Yu and Qiaoyun, Empress Xu’s fate, and wondering when Wei Yan would be able to save her from the prison
With the passage of time day by day, these chaotic thoughts have gradually become blank
Staying in the heavenly prison, time is like stagnant frozen like, what happened outside, do not know
Like isolated from the world in general, only stagnant water general silence
This kind of silence and quietness, itself is the most difficult to endure
Those with weaker minds quickly crumbledSomeone, hurry up and let me out!”
A trembling and crying voice rang out
It was Falling Goose!I have something to report to the Emperor!
I have important news to report!
Someone come quickly, let me out!”
Falling Wild Goose screamed hysterically, quickly alarming the guards guarding the Heavenly Prison
The chief of the guards walked up expressionlessly and commanded two strong palace maids to open the door of the Heavenly Prison
Hair disheveled like crazy falling geese do not want to think to rush out
But she was stopped by the two palace maidsLet her learn some rules and be honest”
The commander of the guards said coldly and turned to leave
Those two palace maids, one of them tightened Falling Wild Goose’s arm, and the other one slapped Falling Wild Goose’s face hole with a forceful hand
The slapping sound was unusually loud
Falling geese soon cheeks red and swollen, tears streaming indistinctly begged for mercy: “Spare your life!
I don’t dare anymore ” Unfortunately, the two courtesans were not moved at all, enough to slap the falling geese hundreds of slaps, before stopping
Falling geese face high swollen, pain unbearable, can no longer say half a word
Whimpering and crying, but the voice is very weak
Lest the cries would be too loud and invite trouble again
Ling Jingshu watched this scene in her eyes, her heart chilled, and she subconsciously clenched her fists
A good man refuses to suffer beforehand!
Falling Goose was the best example!
After being beaten here, there wasn’t even a place to sue and complain
After this outburst, the Heavenly Prison was quiet again
Ling Jingshu silently counted the days
It had been more than half a month since she entered the Heavenly Prison
According to the immediate situation, there was no telling how long she would have to stay here
The familiar sound of a lock being unlocked reached her ears
Ling Jingshu shot up and stood up, smiling at the visitor, “I’m sorry to trouble sister Cui Liu for bringing me food”
This Cui Liu, was the name of the palace maid who guarded the second floor of the Heavenly Dungeon
Because all the women were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, it was inconvenient for men to enter and exit it
The guards were all outside, and the ones who guarded inside the heavenly prison were all palace maids
Cuiliu was among the palace maids, and her status was quite high
Ling Jingshu was extraordinarily sensible, usually silent and quiet, never causing trouble, Cuiliu’s attitude towards her was also extraordinarily amiableThis is today’s lunch”
Cui Liu put the tray down
On the tray was a bowl of rice, two vegetarian dishes, plus a bowl of soup that could be seen in the shadows
Lacking oil and salt, it didn’t have much flavor
But it was always enough to fill the stomach, and the rice was quite clean, much better than the first layer of rice with a musty smell
Ling Jingshu thanked her again
According to the usual custom, after Cuiliu delivered the rice, she would lock the door
Only after half an hour would she come to collect the dishes
Today, Cuiliu stayed a moment longer
Ling Jingshu was a little surprised in her heart, and subconsciously glanced at Cui Liu: “Sister Cui Liu, is there anything else you want to order?”
Cui Liu tugged at the corners of her lips and quickly took out a folded letter from her sleeve, swiftly shoving it into Ling Jingshu’s hands, “Burn it immediately after reading it”
Ling Jingshu’s heart was pounding, and without thinking, she clutched the letter tightly into her bosom and nodded
She did not ask more questions, and Cuiliu did not say who sent this letter, locking the door and leaving as if nothing had happened
Ling Jingshu ate her meal without knowing what she was eating, then pretended to be sleepy and yawned, going back to her bed and couch, sleeping with her back facing out against the wall
She lived in the innermost cell, far away from the others
No one could see any cracks in this behavior
Ling Jingshu pressed down the excitement in her heart, took out the envelope from her bosom, and opened it silently
Even if Cuiliu didn’t say anything, she could guess who the person who managed to send the letter into the Heavenly Prison was
It must be Wei Yan!
Her guess was correct
The moment the familiar handwriting came into view, Ling Jingshu’s nose turned sour and tears almost came to her eyes
This was Wei Yan’s handwriting
Wei Yan had written prescriptions for Ling Xiao and her a few times, and his handwriting was clear, strong and elegant
She hadn’t intentionally memorized it, but after a quick glance, she recognized itAh Shu, you’ve suffered for more than half a month
Don’t worry, I will definitely find a chance to rescue you!”The situation in the palace is chaotic right now, Empress Xu has gotten ‘seriously ill’ and is recuperating in the Pepper Room Hall
Princess Changping has made another scandal of killing her son-in-law, and Duke Xu, in a fit of rage, went to the palace to sue the imperial court
The Emperor became furious, and ignoring the pleas of Yan Wang, sent Princess Changping to the Ciyun nunnery”This scandalous incident has become widely known
King Yan’s mother and son and the Xu family also broke up completely”Empress Xu taught her daughter poorly, degrading the royal face
The emperor decided to abolish the queen
There are many people in the court who agree with him, but very few are willing to intercede for Empress Xu
King Yan is powerless
The abolition of the Empress is finalized!”After this, Empress Xu will have no chance to turn her life around
From now on, you and I can both breathe a long sigh of relief”The Emperor has suffered successive setbacks, his old illness has flared up, his body is weak, and he needs to meditate again
Nowadays, the Crown Prince presides over all major events in the court
Royal grandson and Yan Wang daily into the palace to serve the disease, I also can not get away, every day to stay in the purple imperial palace to take care of the emperor
At a time like this, it is not appropriate to bring up your matter”You can stay in the Heavenly Prison at ease, and when the Emperor’s dragon’s body improves, I will definitely find a way to save you from the Heavenly Prison
The commander of the guards in the Heavenly Prison and I are acquainted with each other, and I had saved his brother’s life in the past
He will secretly have someone take care of you”
On the thin letter paper, not a single word was a word of love, not to mention half a point of transgression
But that concern and deep love, but also through the words, revealed
