Chapter 308 News

There is no sunlight in the sky prison.

There was only dim candlelight.

During the day, the candles were burning and the light was dim. At night, after the candles were blown out, they fell into endless darkness.

The rules in the prison are strict and no shouting or crying is allowed. The female officials and maids who had just been imprisoned in the heavenly prison were bound to cry a lot at first. After being starved for several meals in a row, he soon became more honest.

The first floor of the prison was quickly filled, and some of them were moved to the second floor.

Ruilian and others were among them.

However, everyone is separated by several cells. We can see each other through the iron gate, but we can't speak.

The maid guarding the second-floor prison kept staring at them with her eyes open! Having tasted the feeling of starvation before, no one dared to talk casually anymore.

Ling Jingshu lived in the innermost cell. At first, she was still thinking a lot, thinking about Bai Yu and Qiaoyun, thinking about the fate of Queen Xu, and wondering when Wei Yan would be able to rescue her...

As time goes by, these chaotic thoughts gradually become blank.

Staying in the sky prison, time seemed to be frozen, and I had no idea what was happening outside. It was like being cut off from the rest of the world, with only the silence of stagnant water.

This kind of silence is the most difficult thing to endure. Those with weaker minds will soon collapse.

"Come on, let me out quickly!" A trembling and crying voice rang out.

It's Luoyan!

"I have something to report to the Emperor! I have important news to report! Someone come quickly and let me out!" Luo Yan shouted hysterically, quickly alerting the guards guarding the prison.

The guard commander walked up expressionlessly and directed the two sturdy palace maids to open the door of the prison.

Luo Yan, whose hair was as messy as crazy, rushed out without thinking.

But he was stopped by two palace ladies.

"Let her learn some rules and be more honest." The guard commander said coldly, turned and left.

Of the two maids, one tightened Luo Yan's arm, and the other slapped Luo Yan's face hard. The slap sound was extremely loud.

Luo Yan's cheeks soon became red and swollen, and with tears streaming down his face he begged for mercy vaguely: "Spare my life! I don't dare to do it anymore..."

Unfortunately, the two palace maids were not moved at all and slapped Luoyan hundreds of times before stopping.

Luo Yan's face was swollen and the pain was unbearable, and he could no longer say a word. He was sobbing, but his voice was very weak. I'm afraid that if I cry too loudly, I'll get into trouble again.

Ling Jingshu saw this scene in front of her eyes, feeling cold in her heart and clenching her fists subconsciously.

A good man never suffers any immediate loss! Luoyan is the best example! Being beaten here, there is no place to complain.

…

After this incident, the sky prison became quiet again.

Ling Jingshu counted the days silently.

It has been more than half a month since I entered the prison.

With the current situation, I don’t know how long I will stay here...

The familiar sound of unlocking the door reached my ears. Ling Jingshu cheered up and stood up. She smiled at the visitor and said, "Sister Cuiliu, please bring me some food."

This Cuiliu is the name of the palace maid guarding the second floor of the prison.

Because all the prisoners in the sky jail are women, it is very inconvenient for men to get in and out. The guards are all guarding outside, and the ones guarding the prison are all palace maids. Cuiliu has a relatively high status among the palace ladies.

Ling Jingshu was particularly knowledgeable, usually silent and quiet, never causing trouble, and Cuiliu was also very kind to her.

"This is today's lunch." Cuiliu put down the tray.

There was a bowl of rice on the tray, as well as two vegetarian dishes, plus a bowl of soup that reflected the figure.

Lack of oil, salt, and tasteless. But I can always fill my stomach, and the food is clean, much better than the first layer of rice with a musty smell.

Ling Jingshu thanked her again.

According to usual habits, Cuiliu would lock the door after delivering the food. After half an hour, they will come to collect the dishes.

Today, Cuiliu stayed for a while longer.

Ling Jingshu was a little surprised and glanced at Cuiliu subconsciously: "Sister Cuiliu, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Cuiliu twitched the corners of her lips, quickly took out a folded letter from her sleeve, and quickly stuffed it into Ling Jingshu's hand: "Burn it immediately after reading it."

Ling Jingshu's heart was pounding, and she put the letter into her arms without thinking, and nodded.

She didn't ask any more questions, Cuiliu didn't say who sent the letter, she just locked the door and left as if nothing had happened.

Ling Jingshu ate her meal indifferently, then pretended to be sleepy and yawned, returned to the bed, and fell asleep with her back to the outside and the wall.

She lived in the innermost cell, far away from the others. No one saw any flaws in this gesture.

Ling Jingshu suppressed the excitement in her heart, took out the envelope from her arms, and opened it quietly.

Even if Cuiliu didn't say anything, she could still guess who was trying his best to send the letter to the prison.

It must be Wei Yan!

…

She was right.

The moment the familiar handwriting came into view, Ling Jingshu's nose sore and tears almost came out of her eyes.

This is Wei Yan's handwriting.

Wei Yan wrote several prescriptions for Ling Xiao and her, and his handwriting was clear, powerful, and beautiful. She didn't remember it deliberately, but she recognized it after just one look.

"Ah Shu, you have been suffering for more than half a month. Don't worry, I will definitely find a chance to rescue you!"

"The situation in the palace is chaotic now. Empress Xu is 'seriously ill' and is recuperating in the Pepper Room. Princess Changping has caused a scandal of killing her husband again. Duke Xu was furious and went to the palace to file a complaint. The emperor was furious and sent Princess Changping to Ciyun Temple regardless of Prince Yan's pleas."

"This scandal has become a hot topic and is known to everyone. Prince Yan and his mother and the Xu family have completely broken off."

"Empress Xu did not teach her daughter well, which is a disgrace to the royal family. The emperor is determined to depose the queen. There are many people in the court who agree with her, but very few are willing to intercede for Empress Xu. Prince Yan is powerless to save the situation. The dethronement of the queen is a foregone conclusion!"

"After this incident, Empress Xu has no chance of turning over. From now on, After that, you and I can both breathe a sigh of relief. "

"The emperor has suffered setbacks and blows one after another. His old illness has relapsed. His body is too weak and he has to rest. Now, all the important affairs in the court are presided over by the prince. The crown prince and the Prince of Yan come to the palace every day to take care of the emperor. I can't get away either. I stay in Zichen every day to take care of the emperor. At this time, it is not appropriate to mention your affairs. "

"You can stay in the prison with peace of mind. When the emperor's body gets better, I will definitely find ways to rescue you from the prison. The guard commander of the prison is acquainted with me. I once saved his brother's life. He will secretly ask someone to take care of you. "

There is not a single word of love on the thin letter paper, and there is no transgression.

But the concern and affection are revealed between the lines.
