There is no sunlight in the prison.

There was only a dim candle flame.

During the day, the candle flame is lit and the light is dim. At night, when the candle flame is blown out, it plunges into endless darkness.

The rules in the prison are strict, and it is forbidden to shout and cry. The female officials and palace maids who had just been imprisoned in the prison inevitably cried at first. was starved a few times in a row, and soon became much more honest.

The first level of the dungeon was quickly filled, and some of it was transferred to the second level of the dungeon.

Ruilian is among them.

It's just that everyone is separated by a few cells. They could see each other through the iron gates, but they could not speak.

The palace maid who guarded the second-floor prison kept her eyes open all the time! I had tasted starvation before, and no one dared to speak casually anymore.

Ling Jingshu lived in the innermost prison, and at first she was still thinking about Bai Yu and Qiaoyun, about the fate of Empress Xu, and about when Wei Yan would be able to save her......

As time passed, these chaotic thoughts gradually became blank.

Staying in the prison, time seems to freeze in frozen, and I don't know what is happening outside. It's like being isolated from the world, only dead water.

This kind of silence is the most difficult in itself. The weak-minded ones soon collapsed.

"Come on, let me out quickly!" A trembling cry rang out.

It's a falling goose!

"I have something to report to the emperor! I have important news to report! Come on, let me out! The wild goose shouted hysterically, which soon alarmed the guards guarding the prison.

The commander of the guards walked up with a blank face, commanding the two sturdy palace maids to open the door of the prison.

The hair was scattered, like a crazy goose, and it rushed out without thinking.

was stopped by two palace maids.

"Let her learn some rules and be honest." The commander of the guards said coldly and turned to leave.

The two palace maids, one tightened Luo Yan's arm, and the other slapped Luo Yan's face with his hands. The slap sounded unusually loud.

Luo Yan's cheeks were soon red and swollen, and tears flowed down her cheeks and she vaguely asked for mercy: "Spare your life!" I don't dare anymore......"

It's a pity that the two palace maids were unmoved, and slapped Luo Yan hundreds of times before stopping.

Luoyan's face was swollen high, and the pain was unbearable, and she could no longer speak half a word. Whimpering and crying, but his voice was very weak. lest the crying be loud and cause trouble again.

Ling Jingshu saw this scene in her eyes, and a cold breath appeared in her heart, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.

Heroes don't suffer immediate losses! Falling geese are the best example of this! He was beaten here, and there was no place to complain.

……

After this episode, the prison was quiet again.

Ling Jingshu silently counted the days.

It's been more than half a month since I entered the prison.

As it sees, I don't know how long I'm going to stay here......

The familiar sound of unlocking came to my ears. Ling Jingshu cheered up and stood up, and smiled at the visitor: "Sister Cuiliu has brought me food." ”

This green willow is the name of the palace maid who guards the second-floor prison.

Because all the people in the prison are women, it is inconvenient for men to enter and leave it. The guards were all guarding outside, and the guards inside the prison were all palace maids. Cuiliu is among the palace maids, and her status is relatively high.

Ling Jingshu is particularly knowledgeable, she is silent and quiet on weekdays, and she never causes trouble, and Cuiliu's attitude towards her is also a little kinder.

"It's lunch today." Cuiliu put the tray down.

There is a bowl of rice on the tray, as well as two vegetarian dishes, plus a bowl of soup that can illuminate the human figure.

Lack of oil and salt, no taste. But it always fills your stomach, and the food is clean, much stronger than the musty rice on the first layer.

Ling Jingshu thanked her again.

According to the usual custom, Cuiliu will lock the door when she delivers food. After half an hour, I will come to collect the dishes and chopsticks.

Today, Cuiliu stayed for a few more moments.

Ling Jingshu was a little surprised in her heart, and subconsciously glanced at Cuiliu: "Sister Cuiliu, is there anything else you want to order?" ”

Cuiliu tugged at the corners of her lips, quickly took out a folded letter from her sleeve, and quickly stuffed it into Ling Jingshu's hand: "After reading it, burn it immediately." ”

Ling Jingshu's heart was pounding, and without thinking, she clutched the letter tightly into her arms and nodded.

She didn't ask much, and Cuiliu didn't say who sent the letter, and left as if nothing had happened.

Ling Jingshu ate without knowing anything, then pretended to be sleepy and yawned, went back to the bed, and slept with her back to the wall facing outside.

She lived in the innermost cell, far from the others. In this manner, no one saw any flaws.

Ling Jingshu suppressed the excitement in her heart, took out the envelope from her arms, and opened it quietly.

Even if Cuiliu didn't say it, she could guess who was the one who managed to send the letter to the prison.

It must be Wei Yan!

……

She guessed right.

The moment the familiar handwriting came into view, Ling Jingshu's nose was sour, and tears almost burst out of her eyes.

This is Wei Yan's handwriting.

Wei Yan had prescribed medicine for Ling Xiao and her several times, and his handwriting was clear and powerful. She didn't bother to remember it, but when she looked at it, she recognized it.

"Ashu, you have suffered for more than half a month. Don't worry, I'll be sure to find a chance to get you out! ”

"Now the situation in the palace is chaotic, Queen Xu is 'seriously ill' and is recuperating in the Jiaofang Palace. Princess Changping made another scandal of killing a horse, and Xu Guogong was angry and entered the palace to sue the emperor. The emperor was furious, and despite King Yan's plea, he sent Princess Changping to Ciyun Nunnery. ”

"This ugly incident has been made public and everyone knows about it. The mother and son of King Yan and the Xu family also broke up completely. ”

"Empress Xu's goddaughter is not strict, which is insulting to the royal face. The emperor decided to depose the queen. There are many people in the court and China, and very few are willing to intercede for Empress Xu. King Yan was powerless to return to the sky. The abolition is a foregone conclusion! ”

After this incident, Queen Xu has no chance to turn over. From now on, you and I can breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"The emperor suffered setbacks one after another, old diseases attacked, the dragon's body was weak, and he had to recuperate. Nowadays, all major events in the DPRK and China are presided over by the crown prince. The imperial grandson and King Yan entered the palace every day to serve the sick, and I couldn't get out, so I stayed in Zichen every day to take care of the emperor. At such times, it is not appropriate to mention your business. ”

"You can stay in the prison with peace of mind, and when the emperor's dragon body improves, I will definitely try my best to save you from the prison. I know the commander of the prison's guards, and I once saved his brother's life. He will secretly let people take care of you. ”

On the thin letter paper, there is not a word of lovesickness, and there is no transgression.

But that concern and affection are revealed between the lines. (To be continued.) )
