Chapter 55: The Scourge of Prison
In the prison of the Western Chu Kingdom, the female dependents of the Prime Minister's Mansion were locked up in one place. The so-called female dependents naturally refer to the masters, and do not include the servants of the prime minister's house.
The old lady sat on the hay in the prison with a decadent face and cloudy eyes. Gao is also lifeless and snuggled beside him.
Wen Jin and Yun Jin snuggled up to each other, while Ping Jin was held by Aunt Li.
Pingjin seemed to be hungry, and kept crying, because Aunt Li was holding her, so Aunt Li felt the deepest, and coaxed with a look of pity, "Good boy, what a poor child!" ”
Aunt Li's expression was not pretended, maybe the frustration on her face was more for herself, but her love for Pingjin was not pretended.
In the past, it was Aunt Song who killed the child in Aunt Li's womb, but now Aunt Song's child is loved and cared for by Aunt Li.
Yun Jin's face was sad, "Eldest sister, can we still go out?" ”
Wen Jin settled his mind and smiled reluctantly, "Sister, don't be anxious, my father is innocent, and the emperor will definitely give my father justice." ”
Yun Jin saw that Wen Jin was so sure of this, and nodded convincingly.
It was cold in the prison, and the old lady was already coughing. Wen Jin hurriedly went over and patted the old lady on the back. also reassured, "Grandmother, don't worry, the second uncle and the third uncle have not been implicated because of this, they will definitely find a way." ”
Although the old lady felt some comfort in her heart, she still couldn't let go of the worries in her heart. The second and third rooms are not from her, although she has not humiliated her concubine over the years, but she is not sincere after all.
Now that the big house is in trouble, she can't be sure that the second and third rooms will do their best to save her. Even if they will do their best to save them, they may not have that ability!
Pingjin's crying was getting louder and louder, and it was estimated that he was extremely hungry. Wen Jin shouted loudly, "Come on! ”
A jailer came over scolding, and said impatiently, "What is the noise? What are you arguing about? ”
Wen Jin said with a straight face, "The emperor ordered all the female dependents of the Prime Minister's Mansion to be demoted to official slaves, but he said that he would execute the female dependents of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
The jailer said with a look of ignorance, "Of course, there is none. ”
Wen Jin then said, "The four girls of the Prime Minister's Mansion are hungry, and the baby can't stand the hunger, so you'd better bring some baby food, otherwise if there is an accident, the emperor will definitely punish you." ”
The jailer looked embarrassed, and finally scolded and said, "What an event! Wait. ”
After waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour, Pingjin's crying had gradually weakened, and the jailer came over without hurrying.
The jailer handed in a bowl of rice soup and said in a rather impatient tone, "Don't take it quickly, if you spill it, don't blame us." ”
Wen Jin hurriedly took it and gave it to Aunt Li. Aunt Li fed it carefully.
It's October now, and the night prison is naturally very cold. The ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion snuggled together, and their bodies still couldn't stop shivering.
The old lady's coughing continued, Pingjin's crying continued, and even Wen Jin frowned tightly, his face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Wen Jin's head.
Yun Jin was the first to notice Wen Jin's discomfort, and asked worriedly, "Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
Wen Jin bit his pale lips tightly, "It's okay, my body has always been afraid of cold, but now it just happens that the menstrual period has come." ”
"What?" Yun Jin's face was surprised.
The old lady was worried, Wen Jin has been cold and weak since he was a child, what if he falls ill?
Wen Jin was in unbearable pain and had curled up into a ball.
"Open the door!" A man's voice came from outside.
"Subordinates, see the prince." Then came the jailer's respectful voice.
"Lord Wang, Ning Guogong ordered that no one should be allowed to visit." The jailer said with some embarrassment.
"Believe it or not, the king will kill you right now?" A cold warning came in.
"Yes, the little one will open the door." The jailer's voice weakened. Then came the sound of chains unlocking.
King Jin strode in and said hurriedly, "Wen Jin, how are you?" ”
Wen Jin seemed to shrink himself into a ball, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
King Jin was furious, picked up Wen Jin and walked out. The rest of the people sent the quilts and other items to the prison.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, you can't take the prisoner away!" The jailer said tremblingly.
King Jin said coldly, "This king took away the princess of Jin, do you dare to stop it?" ”
"Don't get out of here!" The guards behind King Jin rebuked angrily.
The jailer knew that he couldn't stop His Royal Highness King Jin, so he obediently got out of the way. As soon as the King of Jin left, the jailer ordered someone to inform Ning Guogong to go.
In the prince's mansion, Yujin was begging His Royal Highness the Prince. "Your Highness, I beg you, let the concubine go to the prison to see her family! The concubine's sister is only a few months old, she can't stand it! ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was annoyed by the begging, and he was about to leave. Yujin hugged His Royal Highness the Prince's legs, but was kicked to the ground by His Royal Highness the Prince.
In the bitter pleading of Yujin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gradually moved away.
A quarter of an hour later, the crown princess came to the courtyard of the jade concubine. Yujin seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, "Niangniang, please beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the concubine!" Let the concubine take a look at the concubine's sister. ”
The crown princess said indifferently, "The Prime Minister's Mansion has been convicted all over the house, and His Royal Highness can't hide now?" How dare I persuade it! ”
"If you want me to say, my sister should live a stable life in the prince's mansion. Even if there is no Prime Minister's Mansion, doesn't my sister still have the support of the Ningguo Mansion? The crown princess's eyes were full of pity, but the corners of her eyebrows were faintly sneering.
Yujin suddenly understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince designed to marry her for the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion.
The crown princess still smiled tactfully and generously, "My sister doesn't know yet, right?" Ning Guogong is going to send his concubine, Song Wanxin, to the prince's mansion as a side concubine. As soon as Ning Guogong's own daughter entered the house, she didn't know if her sister's grandfather's backer was still reliable? ”
The crown princess always had that appropriate smile on her face, but it was Yujin who saw the dirty heart from under the disguised skin.
Yujin stopped begging her, held her breath, and let herself stand up with dignity. Yujin barely held up a smiling face, "Thank you for the advice of the crown princess, Yujin is grateful." ”
The crown princess hit the cotton with a punch, naturally she felt bored, so she carefully covered her high belly and left with the help of her maid.
Yujin's eyes revealed a thick flame, and his fists were clenched, as if he was holding back the restlessness in his heart.
Qingyun whispered from behind, "Don't be anxious, the emperor just ordered to be demoted to an official slave, and he never said that he wanted the life of the daughter of the prime minister's house." The fourth lady will definitely be safe. ”
Yujin slowly shed two lines of tears, "Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has encountered a catastrophe, I can't do anything, I can't help anything!" ”
"I'm stupid, I'm stupid! How did you believe those tender and sweet words at the beginning? Yujin's face was full of remorse.
King Jin's Mansion, "Butler, go and ask for a doctor, don't alarm the imperial doctor." King Jin just walked over with Wen Jin in his front foot, and the guard was talking to the butler behind.
The housekeeper knew that the matter was big, and he was busy going down.
Wen Jin drank the medicine, which soothed his expression and fell asleep deeply.
"How's the princess?" King Jin asked coldly, but there was worry and nervousness in that voice that could not be concealed.
The doctor said cautiously, "The princess is fine, but the princess is cold and weak, and now it is the beginning of the month, and she will suffer from the cold, so she will have unbearable abdominal pain." ”
"In the future, as long as you have a good life, there will be no big problem. If you don't take care of it well, I'm afraid that every month in the future will be painful! What's more...... What's more......"
"Say!" King Jin was still anxious.
The doctor hurriedly said, "What's more, there will be a deficiency disease, and you will not be able to have children in this life!" ”
After the doctor finished speaking, he hurriedly slammed his head down.
King Jin's eyes were full of anger, and he coldly ordered, "The princess's body will be regulated by you, if you reveal half of today's words, this king will ask you." ”
The doctor was so busy that he was too much to say, and he was too busy showing his loyalty, and he would not say half of what he said today.
Wen Guogong's Mansion, Han Yuanxi came quickly, and Lin Qingfeng hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Can I go in from the prison? ”
Han Yuanxi said with a solemn face, "Song Guozhong, that dog thing, gave a death order and did not allow anyone to visit. He was ordered by the emperor, and we have no way to oppose him. ”
Lin Qingfeng's face was decadent, and he said anxiously, "What can I do about this?" The girl is delicate, how can she withstand the humidity in prison? What's more, Wenjin has been cold since he was a child. ”
Han Yuanxi's face was nervous and worried, "Wen'er...... No, I must save her, I will go and beg my father. ”
As soon as Han Yuanxi was about to leave, his little servant replied, "Back to the prince, the slave was ordered to inquire outside the prison to find out the news, two quarters of an hour ago, the King of Jin entered the prison, sent a lot of things in, and took the eldest lady of the Prime Minister away when he left." ”
"You said that King Jin took away the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Lin Qingfeng asked anxiously.
"Did something happen to Wen Jin? How was it taken away? Han Yuanxi frowned.
The little guy said cautiously, "Look, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't seem to be very good, and her face is as pale as paper." ”
"What did you say?" Han Yuanxi and Lin Qingfeng were nervous in unison.
Lin Qingfeng took the lead in stabilizing his mind and comforted, "Don't worry about it first, since Wenjin has been brought out by King Jin, it will be fine." ”
"The most important thing now is to find out the innocence of the Prime Minister's house, otherwise even if it is rescued now, it will be saved for a while, but it will not be saved for a lifetime!" Lin Qingfeng's rare thoughts became clear.
Han Yuanxi was in a hurry because of Wen Jin, and he also came to his senses at this time, "Yes, the false evidence that Song Guozhong took out confused the emperor, we must think of ways to find out the truth." ”
While discussing, the little servant from the Wen State Mansion came to pass the word, "Third Young Master, the Second Young Master of the Su Family is here." ”
"Wen Tao is here, please come in." The breeze was full of relief.
Wen Tao quickly explained his intentions, "The second uncle and my father asked me to discuss the matter of saving people. ”
Qingfeng had a look of relief on his face, "Your Su family is really a person who values love and righteousness." ”
Wen Tao naturally said, "The Su family has one heart, how can they be bullied like this." ”
