N-A-A Chapter 150
Chapter 150
The jailer smiled and scratched his head, "I can't tell. I think the princess looks pretty good."
After Rong Heqing was imprisoned, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He just sat there quietly and didn't bother them. They hadn't seen such a worry-free "prisoner" in a long time.
Moreover, His Majesty only ordered her to be locked up for reflection and did not say anything else, which means that the princess is still the princess, and when she is released in the future she will still be the master they cannot afford to offend, so they dare not treat her harshly in terms of food and drink, and provide her with good food and water.
Rong Heqing knew it as soon as she opened the food box. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Thank you. I will remember this kindness."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. It's all our duty. Princess, please don't say that." The jailer waved his hands again and again, "Eat slowly. I'm leaving first. Just call me when you're done."
The jailer left after saying this, leaving the space to Rong and Qing.
Rong Heqing took out a bowl of soup and took two sips, while looking at the structure of the sky prison.
Every cell here is large and dark.
Maybe because there haven't been any cases recently, the prison is empty. There's no one here except her. It's so quiet that only the sound of mice squeaking and running around can be heard.
999 asked her: [Host, you have experienced the iron door and iron window, how do you feel? ]
Rongheqing took a sip of the hot soup and sighed contentedly, "Comfortable."
999: [? ? ? ? ]
[Host, are you okay? ]
Rong Heqing put down the soup bowl, picked up the bowl and chopsticks below and started eating. [I'm fine, really comfortable. After coming in, I feel unprecedented peace in my heart. ]
999: […]
Some people may seem normal, but they have actually been crazy for a while.
[I'm serious. If we succeed this time, we can catch the snake hiding in the dark and bring it out into the open. We won't have to live in fear of being bitten anymore. Isn't it worth being happy?]
999: [It seems to make sense, but what if the snake doesn't come out? ]
Rong Heqing paused chewing, then said nonchalantly: [Then find another opportunity. ]
If you can't catch the snake, it's no harm to catch a few mice.
……
"I want to see His Majesty, who dares to stop me?"
The virtuous concubine looked at the guards blocking the palace gate with a sullen face.
The guard said in embarrassment: "Empress Xianfei, it's not that we don't want you to go, but His Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to leave the palace."
"What have I done wrong? Your Majesty, are you going to put me on foot? Then I must ask for your clarification! Get out of the way—"
As the virtuous concubine spoke, she was about to push them away.
The guards really didn't dare let her touch them, so they stepped back subconsciously. Seeing this, the people around Concubine Xian immediately rushed over to stop them. Concubine Xian took the opportunity to go out the door, but after she had taken only two steps, she saw Prince Jin walking towards her quickly.
"Wait a minute, mother—"
Prince Jin hurriedly stopped her, "If you leave now, you will be disobeying the order, which is a serious crime. Not only will you not be able to help Sister Changle, but you will also get yourself into trouble!"
He held Concubine Xian's hand and led her back.
The guard at the door breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. "Your Highness has arrived at the right time. Please go and persuade the Concubine Xian."
King Jin nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Concubine Xian said anxiously, "Your uncle and aunt are both in South City now, and Prince Duan is also out there recovering from his injuries and can't come back. Changle can only rely on us. If we don't take care of her, what will happen to her? Is that prison a place for people to stay?"
"Just be patient for a moment!" Prince Jin took great pains to pull the man back into the hall and made him sit down on the armchair.
He gave a wink to the palace maids and eunuchs, and quickly retreated and closed the door.
"How can I feel at ease? Don't you know what the Heavenly Prison is?" Concubine Xian glared at her son and slapped the armrest, saying, "If anything happens to your sister in there, how can I explain it to your uncle and aunt?"
Their relationship had finally eased a little and they were able to exchange letters. If something happened to Rong Heqing under her nose, wouldn't her sister completely cut off all ties with her?
"No." Prince Jin poured her a cup of tea and said, "Father only ordered Changle to reflect on her actions. There is no other punishment. The jailers in the prison are very smart and will definitely not dare to embarrass her. When I came here, I asked someone to smooth things over and asked them to send some clean bedding in to try not to let Changle suffer any grievances."
After hearing what he said, Concubine Xian finally stopped struggling, picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, and her emotions gradually calmed down.
"Have you found out what happened? Why did you ban me from traveling?"
"Father must be afraid that you will go to Changle to plead for mercy, so he doesn't allow you to leave the palace. I am not blocked from entering and leaving, which shows that you are not really under house arrest."
Prince Jin calmly analyzed, "Perhaps father's illness has not improved, and he is very angry. Someone whispered in his ear, making him think that Changle was not sincere when praying for blessings. Changle has a straightforward personality, and I'm afraid he offended father by saying something wrong. I guess this matter will be over when father calms down."
"I hope so." Concubine Xian sighed, pressed her forehead and said, "It has only been a short time since Prince Duan left, and troubles have come one after another. Why do I feel like they are all aimed at Changle?"
Prince Jin actually had this feeling vaguely, but everything was just a perfect coincidence, and there was no evidence, so he had no clue if he could only guess.
"Don't worry, mother. I will go see Changle when I leave the palace."
"Okay, okay, tell her that if she needs anything, just let her know, and we will help if we can."
"Yes."
Prince Jin came and left in a hurry. He wanted to try his luck with the emperor first, but when he reached the door of the bedroom, he saw Prince Ning and Prince Zhou coming out.
The three brothers met each other, and King Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Is the eighth brother also here to visit father?"
Prince Jin smiled wryly and said, "Third brother, you know exactly why I came here, why bother asking?"
King Zhou pursed his lips and said, "As brothers, I advise you to go back. The emperor has just taken medicine and is about to go to bed. If you go to offend him at this time, not only will you not be able to help, but you will also bring trouble to yourself."
Prince Jin naturally knew this truth. He had no intention of saying anything, he just wanted to test the emperor's attitude.
"Is father in better spirits?" Prince Jin glanced at Prince Ning.
Prince Ning shook his head. "I felt better at first, but after being mad at Sister-in-law Nine, I'm not feeling well anymore."
"Then I won't go in."
Prince Jin turned around and was about to leave, but Prince Ning suddenly asked, "Are you going to visit Sister-in-law Jiu?"
King Jin turned around and asked, "You want to come with me?"
Prince Ning shook his head and said, "I'm just asking. The prison is not a good place. Please ask Sister-in-law Jiu for me."
Prince Jin nodded slightly, said nothing, and turned away.
Prince Zhou put his hand on Prince Ning's shoulder and said, "Silly brother, Lao Jiu has never liked you, why are you still trying to get close to him?"
Prince Ning smiled and said, "We are all brothers. I am just asking."
"You are just soft-hearted. Let's go and see mother."
King Zhou took him in his arms and left.
Prince Ning glanced at Prince Jin's back, his eyes flickering slightly.
