Chapter 532 Cut off from water and food
Chapter 532 Cut off from water and food
That night, Qian Qinyi, who was left behind in the capital, began preparations after receiving the news. Guihun Valley and Lanpingxuan acted swiftly under her command, and within three days, they had prepared the first batch of food and supplies, which they then quietly slipped away into the northward-bound caravans.
When Yang Jinfan returned to the prison after delivering the message, it was just dawn. Instead of taking the Spirit Spring Pill, she found a clean patch of grass, lay down, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
The air was thick with an unpleasant odor, and cockroaches and rats kept darting out from the corners. Feng Yiyao, sporting two huge dark circles under his eyes, silently gave a thumbs up to the person whose breathing was even.
Amazing, you can even fall asleep in this environment!
Although he had spent a long time in similar environments before, after going to Guihun Valley to live a normal life, seeing the warmth of the sun and the spring with flowers blooming all over the mountains, he could no longer adapt to the dark and damp environment.
The morning light shone through the small window of the cell, gently illuminating Yang Jinfan's jade-like skin. He looked as if he were bathed in divine light, pure and flawless, full of divinity.
The hurried footsteps outside the cell broke the brief silence. The Imperial Guards stood solemnly in two rows, completely surrounding the cell.
The crisp clanging of chains made Yang Jinfan frown slightly, her questioning gaze fixed on the person entering the cell.
Xiang Shan's body trembled. Following the gaze, he saw a pair of round but sinister eyes, and felt a chill run down his spine.
The right foot that had already stepped out silently retracted.
The group stood at the prison cell door and bowed respectfully to the mountain, saying, "Your Highnesses, His Majesty requests your presence. Please come with us."
Feng Yiyao scoffed disdainfully, his impatient expression mostly hidden by the orchid mask, leaving only the mocking smile on his lips clearly visible.
Yang Jinfan popped a pill into his mouth, and his mind finally came back to normal. The grumpiness he had felt when he was woken up had dissipated considerably, and his aura gradually softened.
"Please lead the way to the commander."
Qi Lang and Fan Zi, who were in the next cell, looked up in surprise. They rushed to the wall and pressed their ears to the wall, afraid that they had misheard.
Xiang Shan froze, his prepared words of persuasion stuck in his throat, clearly not expecting the princess, who dared to defy the imperial decree in public, to be so obedient at this moment.
It was as if the tense atmosphere in the imperial palace yesterday was just an illusion for everyone.
He bowed to the mountain and led the way until the cell was once again oppressive and silent, at which point the two people in the next cell came to their senses.
"When did Her Highness become so easy to talk to?"
"I don't know, it could be a sign of an impending storm."
The two exchanged a glance, then silently took out the roast chicken that His Highness had sent over the night before, and hid in a corner to gnaw on it with relish.
Yang Jinfan pushed Feng Yiyao to the Imperial Study but did not see the person who had summoned them. Eunuch Cao looked at them with a troubled expression, and they could roughly guess what was going on.
He summoned them, but did not want to see them.
Yang Jinfan waited calmly outside the door for an hour, from the soft morning light to the scorching sun, remaining serene and unperturbed.
Just as everyone was marveling at her composure and patience, she smiled and pushed Feng Yiyao as they turned and left.
"Your Highness, please wait! The Emperor summons you. You cannot leave rashly!"
Xiang Shan led his men to stop her, but even after chasing her all the way to the prison, they couldn't catch her. Yang Jinfan pushed the wheelchair into the cell, quickly locked it, and sat down calmly to one side, as if nothing had happened. Xiang Shan was furious. He, the commander of the Imperial Guard, couldn't even catch up with a little girl pushing a wheelchair. He'd probably be laughed at in the army from now on.
"Your Highness, you..."
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Before he could catch his breath and speak, Feng Yiyao clutched his stomach and laughed so hard he fell over. Xiang Shan blushed and fled the cell as if escaping, leaving behind a series of laughs and a group of bewildered imperial guards.
"We've been disobeying orders, haven't we? What are you planning to do next?"
Feng Yiyao suppressed his smile and passed the question to someone who was not involved.
Yang Jinfan played with a strand of his hair, saying casually, "We're going to be executed soon anyway, so why bother with all that? We might as well be more casual and avoid the humiliation before we're beheaded."
boom--
Everything that could be smashed in the Imperial Study was shattered to pieces. Even Eunuch Cao, who was carrying bird's nest into the room, was kicked and almost broke the tray in his hands.
"Who told them to leave! They have to wait without my permission. They don't even listen to me. Do they really think I won't kill them!"
"Emperor calm down!"
Kneeling on the ground covered with broken porcelain shards, Eunuch Cao could only offer feeble words of flattery.
He summoned her, but when she arrived, he left her hanging. Other officials dared not speak out, but she was the Princess who had just returned from suppressing the rebellion. She had the support of many people in the capital, held military power in Sichuan and Yunnan, and was skilled in medicine, poison, and martial arts. So what if she really rebelled?
He felt that the emperor had been acting strangely lately, as if he were possessed. Although he was cruel before, he still had a shred of reason. But recently, he had not listened to any good advice from others, neglecting both state affairs and the harem, and indulging in music and dance every day.
Everyone knew of His Highness's past affection for the Princess, and although His Highness probably didn't need it, there had never been any humiliating behavior towards her. But today...
"Issue my decree: since they don't want to come out, then let them stay in the imperial prison! No one is allowed to visit them, and no one is allowed to bring them water or food. I want to see how long they can hold out!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As Cao Fulu left the Imperial Study, a shadow of gloom flashed across his face. Once he confirmed that the Emperor was indeed being haunted by something unclean, he could not stand idly by. Even if it cost him his life, he would help the two princes!
When news of the emperor's failure to send water and food to the two princes in the imperial prison reached both the prison and outside the palace, everyone's first reaction was disbelief. In just over half a year, how could the emperor's attitude towards the princess have changed so drastically?
Inside Zuixianju, Gu Dingyu, who was having a meal, was so angry that he almost smashed his bowl, and Qian Qinyi also looked terrible.
Whether or not food and drink are sent is not a big deal; Lanpingxuan has the ability to send them in. But this dog emperor should not have humiliated Afan. After all, she is a top meritorious official of Beifeng Kingdom!
"Aqin, let those twin girls handle the food delivery. They're the best at martial arts, and they know Fan's preferences well, so it'll be easier for them to take care of her. Remember to have them bring some clean clothes for her to change into. Fan is very clean, and we can't let her suffer too much in prison!"
"Yes, Master."
Qian Qinyi also felt sorry for her junior sister. She had just returned from Shu and hadn't had a moment's rest before being thrown into the Heavenly Prison. What if they were all unarmed and had no ability to protect themselves?
My junior sister is always thinking of others. She is used to bearing all the hardships and fatigue herself. I'm afraid she won't have a peaceful time in prison. She will have to spare some energy to take care of Brother Yao. I must send her some good food to help her recover!
Within three days, news of the eldest princess and the sixth prince being imprisoned spread throughout the capital and, through the machinations of certain individuals, even reached the Jiangnan region.
Four thousand words today~ Sorry, it's been too long since I wrote anything, my writing skills aren't very good.
