Chapter 52. Almond was locked up in a small dark room
Almond knew she had another way to prove her innocence.
That is to admit that she is a woman, and she can't mess with the harem at all.
In this way, if her words are spoken, Sheng Jingyu may still be able to believe her for three points.
can recognize the identity, no less than the wolf's lair and tiger's den.
Capital offenses on both sides!
Almond sighed in her heart, she really didn't know what to do, so she could only silently shrink herself into the quilt.
"."
Sheng Jingyu's voice suddenly came into her ears, although it sounded calm, but Almond just heard the endless anger hidden in it.
Almond trembled, got off the bed and knelt in front of Sheng Jingyu.
It's useless to escape, it's better to accept the trial, anyway, it's a dead end.
Almond felt hopeless, only pale, and did not waste time to justify.
However, she didn't speak, and Sheng Jingyu was even more dissatisfied.
He withdrew from everyone, just to hear Almond's words, but when he saw that she had acquiesced to everything and was waiting for death, his heart was even more angry.
"Isn't there anything you want to say to me?"
Sheng Jingyu opened her mouth to break the silence, but Almond hung her head, her heart sad.
She opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, and she didn't know what to say.
His Majesty was tired of her for the past two days, and at this time something like this happened, Almond felt that it didn't matter if she said it or not.
There was endless silence in the room.
Sheng Jingyu's face turned cold, and after taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes, looking extremely disappointed.
After a while, he spoke.
"I took pity on you in vain, treated you sincerely, and personally taught you to read and write, I thought you were pure and simple, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing. You should forget everything that was before. ”
Forgot?
His Majesty made her forget.
But ah, Your Majesty is the best person in the world who treats her except for her relatives, how can she forget?
Hearing this, Almond couldn't hold back the grievances in her heart anymore and broke down and cried.
"It's not...... It's not like that......"
She shook her head and stumbled to tell the truth, but she couldn't cry or speak.
Sheng Jingyu took a deep breath and asked her, "What else do you have to say?" I just want to know, did you think about my feelings when you did this? ”
What did she do?
She was wronged!
Almond felt very uncomfortable, and the taste of being wronged was very uncomfortable.
But since His Majesty left her to talk alone, he didn't drag her down indiscriminately, which shows that His Majesty still cares about her.
Almond felt a glimmer of life, and she couldn't stand being misunderstood by people close to her, so she couldn't care about anything else, and told the truth of the matter.
“……”
"In order to cover up the fact of the filthy harem, General Li Chen and Concubine Su pulled me as a shield. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can go to Hongying from Miaoyin Pavilion, she brought me here. But I speculate that she will also deny it, because she and Concubine Su are in a gang, and they joined forces to trick me into the Falling Moon Palace. ”
At the end of the day, Almond also knows that he doesn't have a slight advantage.
There is no physical evidence that can prove that what she said is true, unless Hongying confesses.
But whether Sheng Jingyu believes it or not, she can't take the blame for others in vain.
Sure enough, after Sheng Jingyu heard this, her brows tightened, and her face became even more gloomy.
"Someone! Immediately arrest Hongying from Miaoyin Pavilion and interrogate me strictly! ”
The men who were guarding the door came in and immediately received the order and hurried out.
Almond heart relaxed a little, but listened to Sheng Jingyu say again.
"I'm going to look into it, and if what you're saying is true, I'll do you justice." Sheng Jingyu's voice changed, and he looked at Almond and paused, "But...... Until then, I will declare to Li Chen and Concubine Su that you have been locked up. So, after that, you can't be in the palace anymore. ”
After speaking, Sheng Jingyu turned around and left, and after a while, a guard came in and took the almond away.
So......
Is Your Majesty still worried?
However, when she encounters such unfortunate things, it is Your Majesty's grace that she can pick up a small life.
His Majesty did not punish her for witnessing all this.
Almond Heart is not unwilling, but it is still very uncomfortable.
She let the guards take her to an inaccessible courtyard and locked her in a room.
It was dark in the room, except for a faint dim butter lamp that allowed Almond to see inside.
The room is not big, and the things placed are very simple, just a bed, a table and a stool to meet the most basic needs of life.
The door was guarded, and as soon as Almond opened it, the guards stopped her.
"Your Majesty has an order, without an order, the people inside are not allowed to come out, and no one is allowed to enter, and please stop."
So she was really locked up, and all the activity space was confined to this small space.
Almond understood and retreated.
She understood Sheng Jingyu's intention to do this, and now Concubine Su and Li Chen both decided that she would definitely die, so she couldn't appear in everyone's sight, so as not to startle the snake and delay His Majesty's investigation of the case.
I just don't know, how long will it take to prove her innocence?
Will people like Concubine Su and Li Chen leave a handle?
Until then, she could only stay in this room, not leaving an inch.
The days here are not like the prisoners in Almond's imagination, but the treatment is very good, except that she can't go out, and her days in Jing'an Palace are actually about the same.
Three meals a day were delivered, and in addition to eating, there was also a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that she packed in a box.
This set of four treasures of the study room was given by Sheng Jingyu when she first became a waiter, and she loved it like a treasure.
Therefore, in this small room, practicing calligraphy with the beloved Four Treasures of the Study every day, the time is not particularly difficult.
One-day ...... Two-day ......
I don't know how long it has been, Almond's concept of time has been completely subverted, and I don't know how much time has passed.
Although she was not abused, her body was still deteriorating after staying in this depressing place.
She hoped that Sheng Jingyu would come to see her, but she didn't.
Maybe it's too busy, right?
After all, this kind of thing happened, and His Majesty didn't feel good.
Almond comforted herself in her heart.
It wasn't until a few more days later that the words she wrote over and over again lost their appeal to her.
She was so bored that she couldn't go out for a walk, she couldn't see the sun, and she didn't have anyone to talk to.
She began to sleep all day and night to get through the long hours.
But after sleeping for a long time, her head was groggy at all times, and her body was lying soft, and it was difficult to even get up.
Almond didn't know how many times she hadn't eaten, and she refused to eat because she didn't have the strength to eat.
It's like having anorexia, everything is so boring.
Just when Almond thought he was going to die here, the door opened.
