Four jailers were drinking wine in the front, with two oil lamps dimly lit.
There were no serious criminals during this period, and there were not many prisoners in the sky jail, which made it look increasingly cold.
If there were just one or two people, we really wouldn’t dare to stay in this environment.
Fortunately, they only stayed on guard for half the night, and someone changed their defense after a while.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came.
The four jailers were startled and put down their wine glasses in unison.
The sound came from the door, so they were not very afraid.
At this time, a person walked in at the door.
Those who can be let in by the guards must either be given enough money or have a special status that the jailer knows.
They stood up and saw that the person who came was in his twenties, young and shrewd, with a food box in his hand. Looking at his clothes and behavior, he didn't look like an ordinary person.
A jailer asked: "Who?"
Yuexi raised the food box in his hand and said: "Visiting the prison!"
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Yue Xi's attitude was very authentic: "Didn't a prince come in today? My master is His Highness Prince Liang, and he asked me to bring some food to the seventh prince!"
The four jailers looked at each other. It turned out that they were here to visit the seventh prince. He was from Prince Liang's palace. He was also a prince. He was also the fifth prince who had made military exploits and returned to become a prince. They had heard of it.
The one on the right is the little leader of the jailers. He said: "Sending food? It's a routine inspection!"
Yue Xi said: "Please!"
The little boss said: "Zhu Jun!"
A jailer took it to the light and opened the food boxes layer by layer.
A plate of braised pork, a smoked chicken, a pot of wine, a bowl of white rice, and nothing else.
The jailer came back with the food box and said: "I checked it carefully and there is nothing in it!"
The little boss nodded and said, "Follow me!"
The cell where Chu Jingxian was located was quite deep. The little boss walked in holding a lantern, and it became more and more gloomy as he walked forward.
Yue Xi had been on the battlefield, and he felt uncomfortable looking at the gloomy atmosphere. The one inside was the pampered seventh prince who had been in the capital. No wonder the master asked him to bring some food.
Think about it, is this a place where people live? It's dark and cold, and there are no lights in the corridor.
Just complaining in his heart, Yue Xi followed the jailer inside calmly.
Finally, the jailer stopped in front of a cell.
He hung the lantern on the hook on the wooden fence outside.
The martial arts practitioner in Yuexi had very good eyesight. He could see a person sitting on the haystack over there at a glance.
Since he didn't say any crime, the jailer didn't dare to let him change into prison uniform. So he was still wearing the rich clothes, but his eyes were a little dull and his expression was a little dull. He sat there motionless in a daze. It was Chu Jingxian.
.
Yue Xi said: "Your Majesty the Seventh Highness!"
Chu Jingxian did not move.
Until Yuexi called twice more.
Chu Jingxian seemed to hear what he heard. He raised his head and glanced at Yue Xi blankly.
Yue Xi turned around and said, "Can I say a few words to him?"
The little boss took the key and opened the door, and said to Yue Xi: "As soon as possible!"
He has no intention of leaving.
However, Yue Xi didn't care, he was just here to deliver food.
He walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, do you need my master's help in any way?"
Chu Jingxian glanced at him, help? It was his father who imprisoned him. The fact that his father could imprison him meant that the person he wanted to protect was much more important in his father's heart. If this was the case, then
How could the father release him?
Unless he relents, he will never relent.
If there must be one person who must bear this injustice, let him do it!
He shook his head numbly.
Yue Xi didn't know what to say. He took the food box over and said: "Master asked me to send some food to His Highness Seventh, and His Highness will use some!"
Chu Jingxian said hoarsely: "Thank you Fifth Brother for me!"
Yue Xi put down the food box and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, please take care of yourself!"
Since His Highness Seventh Prince didn't ask for help, Yue Xi had nothing to say. After walking out of the door, he asked the jailer: "Can you give His Highness Seventh Prince two extra mattresses?" As he said this, he handed over something hard.
.
The little boss looked at the light and found that it was a large ingot of silver. He was afraid that there was not more than ten taels, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay!"
Yue Xi said: "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, I will take my leave first!"
Chu Jingxian still sat on the ground and said nothing.
Looking at the dumbfounded Chu Jingxian, Yue Xi felt a little uncomfortable.
Among the princes in the capital, only His Highness the Seventh lived a handsome life, even more handsome than His Highness the Third.
The Third Highness is disabled and has to be an idle prince, but the Seventh Highness really wants to be an idle prince, drinking and gambling, fighting cocks and horses, traveling in lakes and moonlight, admiring flowers and willows, playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and drinking!<
/p>
It's a pity that he is the one in jail now.
I don’t know how he offended the emperor and made him so angry.
His master and he are brothers, so sending this meal can be regarded as a sign of brotherly love.
After Yue Xi left, the little boss who had received the money diligently went to hug the mat.
Even if Yuexi didn't give him any money, the little boss would still hold the mattress. No one cared about him before he was imprisoned, so the jailer didn't care. But, didn't the Liang Palace send people to see it? Maybe this guy is not guilty.
It's so serious. You might go out again in a few days. Don't freeze people out.
The two mattresses exude a musty smell, but they are already the best equipment in the prison today.
The little boss said with a bit of flattery: "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, you have a good rest, I will take my leave!"
He went out and locked the door.
"Wait!"
Chu Jingxian, who had been silent inside and had hardly spoken since entering, spoke.
The little boss asked: "What do you want, Your Highness?"
Chu Jingxian pointed to the food box: "Take it down and share it!"
The little boss said: "Isn't this bad?"
When Zhu Jun was inspecting it just now, the aroma from the food box came out, and he knew it was delicious. It must be the work of a chef in a restaurant in the capital. With their monthly salary, they would not dare to eat it once a year.<
/p>
Chu Jingxian said: "I don't have much appetite, it would be a waste to leave it alone!"
The little boss understands, this is the prince, what kind of delicacies have you never tasted? On weekdays, you can definitely eat whatever you want in a large restaurant in the capital.
These dishes are rare good things for them, but this man used to eat them every day, so he doesn’t think they are anything special.
"Thank you, His Highness Seventh Prince!"
The little boss thanked him, picked up the food box, and locked the door. However, he was in a good mood. His Highness the Seventh Prince shared the food with them. He reciprocated the favor and even left the lantern.
Holding the food box and smelling the aroma, the little boss felt happy.
When he returned to the jailer's office, there were still four of them, and he asked: "Where are Zhu Jun and Li Hu?"
Another said: "Changing of guard!"
The little boss smiled and scolded: "Look what I brought? That's because they don't have a good mouth to eat, but you two boys have a good mouth to eat!"
He put the food box on the table in a showy manner, uncovered one layer, and the aroma filled the air.
