Chapter 123: Stay with Me for One Night
After Lin Yuelan and Situ Han left the prison, they went to the Qianqing Palace, the conditions of the prison were too poor, it was simply not a place for people to stay, they pleaded with Emperor Shengde, hoping to change Situ Nanyun from the prison to the detention of Yushitai, and Emperor Shengde also did not convict Situ Nanyun because he was only a suspect, so he nodded and agreed.
After hearing the news, Ren Sili, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who lost his son in the womb, rushed to the Qianqing Hall in a huff, and told with a handful of snot and tears that it was not easy for middle-aged people to have a child, and that her husband had worked hard to conceive a child for several months, and if Situ Nanyun was released from the prison before the charges were cleared, he would have crashed to death in the hall, so Emperor Shengde had to withdraw his life, and Lin Yuelan was so angry that she jumped to her feet after hearing the news.
Situ Nanyun finally didn't get rid of the taste of the prison.
The inside of the prison was not high, and it was closed all around, except for a small black window, which was made up of several thick iron pillars, and on the windowsill there was a thick layer of black ash accumulated over time, and the panes were also covered with thick and tight cobwebs. It was cold, and the spider was gone, and the webs were a little dilapidated because of the lack of care from their owners, and occasionally shook weakly with the wind pouring in from outside, and then hung down decadently, causing the dust to fly in the basement. The ground of the prison was covered with a layer of grass, the grass was disheveled, and there was a foul smell in the air mixed with the smell of dampness on the ground and human excrement.
When the head of the women's cell saw that a new female prisoner had arrived, she opened the door of the cell, put a new layer of grass on it, and muttered a warning to obey the rules of the cell, and hurried away.
A few hours later, someone brought in and handed Situ Nanyun a worn, crooked ceramic bowl containing brown and thick rice cooked with rice and unknown leaves. Situ Nanyun glanced at it, she didn't have any appetite, not only that, but her stomach was stirred for a while, and she almost vomited the food at the luncheon.
Lin Yuelan returned to the Xiuyun Medicine Hall, summoned the Qingqing, and quickly assigned the task: Qingyue sneaked into the palace to find out the whereabouts of the two palace maids, Qingfeng was responsible for staring at Yan Yulong, Qingying continued to find out the source of the poison and the person behind the poison, and he himself went to meet Princess Yulin.
When Yulin received the news that Lin Yuelan was coming, she didn't have much surprise on her face, as if everything was expected by her. Seeing a handsome white shadow float out, a smile appeared on his face, "How could Lin Shizi have time to come and see Yulin today?" ”
Lin Yuelan's lips hooked, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, Yuelan wants to ask Princess Yulin about something." ”
Yulin Yingyingqiu's eyes were smiling, and she opened two red lips, "Oh, what's the matter?" Dare to bother the son of the world to visit late at night. ”
Lin Yuelan's deep eyes looked at Yulin, "Please tell Yuelan what happened at the banquet in detail, Yuelan will be grateful." ”
Yulin's eyes swept Lin Yuelan and put away his smile, "It turns out that Lin Shizi is here for your pink confidante Situ Nanyun." ”
Lin Yuelan looked at Yulin with a light in her eyes, "Isn't the princess also a victim?" Finding out the real culprit can also give the princess a sigh of relief, and ask the princess to tell you. ”
Yulin glanced at Biyun and Bizhu on the left and right, "Biyun, Bizhu, serve tea to the prince." ”
After Lin Yuelan sat down, Yulin narrated what happened at the banquet, and finally summed it up, "This is what I saw." ”
Lin Yuelan flicked the non-existent folds on her clothes, and her deep eyes narrowed, "Princess Yulin, did she have any special discoveries?" ”
The corners of Yulin's mouth hooked up a mischievous smile, "A special discovery? The water at the banquet is very deep, oh, Shizi, I tell you, what good is it? ”
Lin Yuelan lifted the tea lid and took a sip of tea, her deep eyes were glued with a layer of misty water vapor, which seemed even more profound and mysterious, "Yulin, what benefits do you want?" ”
Yulin was a little stunned, and it wasn't until Lin Yuelan's voice came to her ears that she collected her wandering thoughts, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "What if, I want you to accompany me for one night?" ”
The corners of Lin Yuelan's mouth hooked, "Yulin, she is worthy of being a girl on the grassland, she treats people enthusiastically and unrestrainedly." Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I heard that Yulin is proficient in everything, and Yue Lan is willing to accompany her for one night. ”
Yulin laughed, "Shizi, it's a refreshing person, I like it." After signaling Biyun to close the doors and windows, he slowly spoke, "I accidentally found out that Concubine Shu was not poisoned, the symptoms of her poisoning were fake, our hands and feet were cold when we were poisoned, and my hand was warm when I found her, she should have taken the antidote beforehand." ”
Hearing Yulin's words, Lin Yuelan's face was not surprised, he had already guessed that Concubine Shu would not be poisoned, he came this time mainly to ask her to verify this fact, "Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the third prince, if she takes the antidote in advance, then ......"
Yulin took Lin Yuelan's words, "Then, Shizi, you have to be careful next." ”
In the Silver Willow Inn, a man with a black mask stood with his hands behind his back, and a red-clothed man behind him said: "Lord, now that Situ Nanyun has entered the prison, do you want to ......?" The man in red made a gesture to wipe his neck.
The masked man shook his head, "No, killing her in the heavenly prison will arouse the emperor's suspicions, but torturing her and making Lin Yuelan miserable and painful is not a good thing." ”
The man in red was still puzzled, "Situ Nanyun is our evil star, and now is a good time to save from her." As long as we instigate it, he will definitely go to the prison to rob and kill Situ Nanyun, and then we will secretly help her and kill her, and the emperor will not suspect us. ”
The man wearing the mask still shook his head, "I can't kill her now, after the banquet turmoil, she is very vigilant now, plus Lin Yuelan, the people of the five princes are secretly protecting her, it is very difficult for us to succeed, and it will not be good to expose ourselves when we steal chickens and rice." The masked man paused, and his serious eyes looked at the man in red, "We finally cleared up our suspicions and established ourselves in Yandu, and we have to be very careful with our every move next." ”
"Red Eagle, but Ren Sili can be used, and it is better to ask him to go to the heavenly prison to toss Situ Nanyun." The masked man pondered, looked at the man in red, and a wicked smile flashed across his face.
Red Eagle nodded, "Subordinate, let's do it." ”
The masked man stopped him, "Wait, what are they doing now?" ”
"He is now sending people around to inquire about the source of the 'Flower Destroyer' poison, planning to find the person behind the scenes, and also looking for the palace maid who poured wine for Situ Nanyun and the palace maid who was poisoned in the garden."
The masked man let out a low laugh, "Just let him go and find it, have you taken care of the clues?" Seeing that Chi Ying nodded, he continued, "I'm afraid that he won't look for it, I want to know what kind of expression he will have when he knows the result." ”
Red Eagle followed with a smile, "The Lord is still wise and thoughtful, and he has already had a plan to deal with it." ”
It was late at night, Situ Nanyun was hungry in the prison, looking at the mottled walls of the prison in a daze, when suddenly a jailer opened her cell door and brought her food, and said in her heart: Is there still food in the prison? Seeing that the man's eyes were bright, not like the person who had delivered the food before, there was a sense of alarm in his heart.
The man brought a plate with three or five dishes on it, "Situ Nanyun, someone is worried that you won't be used to eating the food here, so I asked me to bring these dishes to you." ”
Situ Nanyun had been hungry all afternoon, and when she saw the food shining with golden oil, her eyes lit up, and she reached out to take the plate.
A wicked smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, watching her eat the food on the plate beautifully, and his heart was counting down, "Five-four-three-two-one, vomit blood and fall!" As a result, he saw that Situ Nanyun had eaten the last dish, and she was still standing upright, with a stunned face, looking at her with wide eyes, as if she had seen a rare monster, and finally muttered, "This...... This is impossible, you have eaten Heding Red, how can you still be safe? ”
Situ Nanyun looked at this killer with a smile, "Do you want to know why?" ”
The man's lips twitched, and he muttered, "Yes...... Why? ”
Situ Nanyun chuckled, "There's no poison in this, thank you for your kindness to bring the food, come, you can also come and try it." ”
Seeing Situ Nanyun beckoning, the man trembled with fright, he had tested this meal when he came, he tried it for a little flower cat, the flower cat just ate a small bite, and immediately bled to death. He felt that Situ Nanyun must have been caught by the ghosts in the prison, the perennial yin qi in this prison was too heavy, and it was inevitable that these things would not be incurred, it was simply too terrifying, and he escaped as if he was dead.
Situ Nanyun laughed from behind, laughing so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.
Not long after, a few more patrols came, and they couldn't help but put down the jailer who showed them the way, rushed into Situ Nanyun's prison, and slashed at her. Situ Nanyun naturally ignored these people, and beat them to their knees and beg for mercy in three or two strokes, "Say, who sent you?" Otherwise, I will cut you with a knife! ”
Seeing that Situ Nanyun was so powerful, several people regretted coming to assassinate her, and their knees trembled one by one, "Don't, don't kill me, I said, I said." Be...... It is Ren Sili, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites...... Send us to kill you. ”
Situ Nanyun thought of the old stubborn Ren Sili who had a handful of snot and tears on the Qianqing Palace, and refused to let her out with death, and had nowhere to vent his anger, "That old fool, wronged and debtor, it was not me who killed his child, he collected the wrong debt, he was really stubborn and confused." With a cold face, he looked at the few people who were trembling on the ground, "Get out, hurry up and get out of here." ”
A few more groups of people came from behind, either disguised as jailers and attacked head-on, or they released poison needles and darts from the shadows to sneak attack, Situ Nanyun coped with the whole night, sleepy and tired.
At dawn the next day, she fell asleep on a straw bed, and had just slept in a daze for an hour or so, when a jailer opened the door and came in.
