Chapter Eighty-Three: Exoneration
"Rou'er, Rou'er??????????" In a daze, I faintly heard an urgent call. It seemed to be calling my name, and my body was gently shaking. I frowned slightly, woke up and opened my eyes. Dongfang Ao's concerned face appeared in front of my eyes.
"Dongfang Ao?" I cried out full of questions, the dungeon was still cold and dim all around, and the sky outside the window was a little dark, it turned out that I had been asleep for so long. "Why are you here?"
"Whew~~ You're finally awake. How are you, did they execute you, and you've only been in a coma for so long? Let me see????????" He was full of anxiety and immediately reached out and turned around to check where I was hurt.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired, I fell asleep just now, if I'm really hurt, can I still talk to you so energetically?" I soothed him.
Hearing me say this, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he immediately showed the smile he usually deserved.
"Let's go!" he pulled me up, trying to lead me out.
"Can I go out?" I felt a burst of joy in my heart, thinking that they had proven my innocence. But—outside the prison, the guard's embarrassed expression, my face darkened, and I forcefully broke away from Dongfang Ao's hand that was holding me. "No, I'm still guilty, I haven't found out if I'm not a murderer, I can't run away without permission!"
"his murderer, will you hurt someone!!!" Dongfang Ao turned to glare at me and said angrily.
My expression froze slightly, and I suddenly smiled. "Thank you for believing in me, Dongfang Ao. Compared to Rin's repeated hesitation about himself, I was moved by Dongfang Ao's firm belief.
"Thank you, I'll come with me!" you didn't kill anyone at all, so why should you be imprisoned!" He was still indignant and insisted on taking me away.
"It was the emperor who ordered me to be arrested, and you are disobeying the emperor's order by doing so! Besides, you are father and son, do you want to turn against your parents for the sake of me, a little woman?"
"This ????????????" My words finally made Dongfang arrogant, "But you are not guilty! Father is not an old faint king, take you out, I will help you rehabilitate, and my father will not blame us!"
"I know. However, if I go out like this, what will others say about me? Afraid of crime and absconding? Or is it even more hurtful sarcasm? If you want to help me, then please help me get rid of my guilt with real evidence!!" I looked at him with a determined look in my eyes.
"You, alas~~ You are waiting for me here, I will tell my father to go, I will take you away immediately!" Dongfang Ao looked helpless, and gently stroked my head like a child. Sighing slightly above my head, I nodded, and then immediately left.
Dongfang Ao is gone, and the dungeon is deserted again. Looking at the door locked by chains, I sighed heavily, blaming myself for worrying so much! As long as I get out of this dim and terrifying dungeon, I don't have to be so lonely and helpless! But how easy is it to prove my innocence? When Sister Xin'er died, I was the only one by her side, and Xiao Ju decided that I was the murderer.
I frowned tightly and leaned my head against the wall weakly, waiting for Dongfang Ao to bring me good news. Waiting, waiting?????????? Until the earth fell into darkness, there was only the faint light in the prison, and the dungeon at night was even colder, how could this make people endure the biting cold, I shivered with cold, and I could only surround myself helplessly.
"Rin?????? Rin ????????" I whispered the name of Dongfang Rin. Is he worried about me? If I can't prove my innocence, I'm going to be put to death, will he—will he give up everything for me and sacrifice his life to save me? I closed my eyes and thought about thousands of results. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, until the cold tears in the corners of his eyes gradually warmed????????????
"Rou'er!" A low cry made Dongfang Rin wake up suddenly, and the cloak on his body fell to the ground, only to see his face in a cold sweat. He looked out the window, it was already late at night, and he didn't know if Rou'er would be cold? He didn't dare to look at Lin Xuerou, he was afraid that he would take her out of the dungeon desperately when he saw her. It's just that in the end, reason calms him down, and only by finding out the truth can he rescue her.
"Master. The night pushed the door in, leaned down and picked up the cloak on the ground.
"How's it going, is there a result?" The face that had been calm was now full of melancholy. Dongfang Rin asked eagerly.
The dark night couldn't help frowning worriedly, "Master, I went to see where the imperial concubine and Luo Xin'er stayed today, and the cook said that the dishes on that table were prepared by Luo Xin'er herself." After the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, only the glass of wine on the table was adulterated with poison. In addition to the knife wounds on her body, Luo Xin'er was also poisoned. The princess is safe and sound, which is deeply suspicious. What's more, there was no third person in the room at that time! The only one who witnessed it was Xiao Ju!"
"Then go and grab Xiao Ju and ask!" Dongfang Rin's tone suddenly became heavier.
The night that was stunned by his master's sudden emotions stiffened slightly, and it took a few seconds to recover. "It's just that when the fifth imperial concubine was arrested, Xiaoju also disappeared. The night said regretfully.
This sentence undoubtedly lowered Dongfang Rin's hopes to the lowest point. "Find ?????? Find her!" His voice trembled slightly.
Seeing the murky darkness outside, his heart tightened even more??????????
My body trembled suddenly because of the cold, and I suddenly woke up, and the dazzling light entered my eyes, making it difficult for me to adapt suddenly. I squinted and looked out the window, having spent the night in this dungeon. And, Dongfang Ao didn't come for a long time. Heart, inch by inch, drowning down. What I was expecting, knowing that there was little hope of getting out.
"Boom!" interrupted my musings with the sound of chains opening. I looked to the door.
"Black Wind?" I exclaimed in surprise, why did Dongfang Ao's guards come instead of him? Could it be that Dongfang Ao had something happen to me? I couldn't help but think worriedly.
"Five Imperial Princesses. My master was suddenly sent by the emperor to Wuhe Town yesterday to deal with important matters, so I can't take care of you anymore, before leaving, let me take care of everything for you!" Hei Feng said, clapping his hands, only to see one by one slaves carrying things into the dungeon.
Beds, dressers, wooden tables, wooden chairs, wardrobes?????????? The dungeon, which had been cold and dim yesterday, is now a room with a comfortable view. I watched in amazement at the change in front of me, God, is this still what a prison sentence should look like?
"This ????????" I pointed to the bed, not knowing what to say.
"Is there anything else the Fifth Imperial Concubine is not satisfied with?"
"No!" I immediately shook my head.
"In the future, if the five imperial concubines have any requirements, where is it uncomfortable, just tell the guards outside. ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, and looked around again, this kind of practice is really only done by Dongfang Ao! I shook my head helplessly and sighed, but I was grateful to him in my heart.
"Fifth Imperial Princess, don't worry too much. Master, the eldest prince is already helping you find a way, you will be fine soon!" Hei Feng saw Lin Xuerou sighing, thinking that she was worried about this matter.
"Dongfang Yi?!" he was also helping me figure out a way, but why hadn't I seen him yet. I'm full of questions.
Black Wind nodded, and suddenly became silent, and a pair of eyes full of worry seemed to drift away????????????
