Chapter 397 Silence

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 He ​​has no expectations in his heart for a long time, but Chu Xinyuan’s heart will still hurt when encountering such a thing again.

He thought that maybe it was a good thing that Mu Qingyu got the divorce letter. Now that he couldn't even protect himself, it would be very dangerous for him to be his family, right?

He didn't say a word until Jiang Yi led someone to escort him away. Because he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be meaningless.

The food sent to Tianlao turned out to be poisonous. This was a crime he could not avoid.

It's a pity that he was taken directly to the prison, and he couldn't ask Yue Xi whether he did it or what went wrong!

But at this time, in Concubine De's palace, Nanny Xu couldn't help wiping her tears, and Concubine De also looked pale.

Concubine De was thinking about Chu Jingxian who was imprisoned in the Tianlao. Although the emperor said that he would only be released for a few days, she was still worried. She asked Aunt Xu to take the sign and go to the Tianlao to visit. Aunt Xu also moved early in the morning.

Even though she had the title of Imperial Concubine, it was not easy to get out of the palace. After struggling for a while, Nanny Xu made the decision to go to Tianlao.

Something big happened in the Tianlao. Everyone was originally prohibited from visiting the prison, but the sign of Concubine Def in Xu’s hand still had some effect. In addition, the person who almost got caught was Concubine De’s son, His Royal Highness the King of Chu. After thinking about it, the person in charge of the Prison Guards Department decided to

Decided to let Aunt Xu meet.

Nanny Xu has been in the palace for many years and is used to seeing secrets. From the demeanor of the jailers, she knew that something was unusual. However, she didn't ask anything. She met with His Highness the Seventh Prince first.

When she went there, it was the time when meals were being delivered to the prison.

There are not three meals a day in the prison, but only one. This is considering that Chu Jingxian is a prince, so he can have one in the morning and one in the evening.

But even though it was an extra meal, the rice was dry and hard brown rice with three pickles on top.

When Nanny Xu left, Chu Jingxian was holding a bowl and mechanically putting the hard brown rice into his mouth.

His expression was dull, a little dull, and his eyes were dead. However, no one could see the bottom of his eyes. Deep in his eyes, there was a depth, as deep as the sea, with dark waves surging inside, but no one could see it.

.

Aunt Xu was brought to the cell door by the jailer. When the cell door opened, Chu Jingxian didn't even raise her head. He was lowering his head to eat.

Nanny Xu stood at the door, and just as she was about to walk in, she saw that Chu Jingxian had already taken a mouthful of hard brown rice in his mouth, chewing it hard, with a dull look on his face.

She walked forward quickly and took a look at the bowl. Her face was very ugly. She turned to the jailer and said, "Are you going to give this to His Highness?"

The jailer smiled bitterly and said: "Ma'am, because His Highness the Seventh Prince is a prince, we have used the best possible. The other prisoners eat moldy rice, which contains sand and insects. Even so, they can't eat it for a day."

There is only one bowl. Although His Majesty the Seventh Prince’s is brown rice, there is much less sand in it and there are no worms! Moreover, His Majesty the Seventh Prince has two meals a day!”

Aunt Xu: "..."

How could she, a person who has never been to a prison, know this?

Seeing that the jailer didn't seem to be telling lies, Aunt Xu couldn't say anything more. After all, even a prince who was imprisoned in the sky prison was a criminal. As a nanny, she had no such power.

Aunt Xu noticed something strange again. She had been here for so long, and Chu Jingxian was only picking up the rice, chewing hard, and chewing blankly. He didn't even raise his eyelids, let alone look at her.

Her heart was hit hard. Although the seventh prince was not the biological son of Concubine De, he had been raised by her side since he was a child. The relationship between mother and son was close. She also watched the seventh prince grow up. The seventh prince had always been flamboyant and wanton, and he liked it the most.

Smile, smile is like sunshine blooming, the whole room lights up, but now the seventh prince is like a puppet with only a body and no soul.

I don’t know what he went through that night.

When has Nanny Xu ever seen the Seventh Prince like this?

She walked quickly to Chu Jingxian and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty the Seventh Prince!"

Chu Jingxian didn't look up, he was still cooking.

Aunt Xu took his bowl away, but he didn't react at all. He just stayed there. After a while, he looked at Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu wiped her tears and said, "Your Highness, my Highness! What's wrong with you?"

Chu Jingxian's voice was smooth: "Mommy, I'm fine! Tell me, don't worry!"

Aunt Xu took a look at the food in the bowl. In Zhaoqing Palace, even the lowest eunuchs and maids would not eat this kind of food. She said: "Your Highness, don't eat these. I will buy some food for you."

Come!"

Chu Jingxian said calmly: "The left and right are just food to satisfy the hunger, it doesn't matter!" After saying that, he took the bowl from Nanny Xu's hand and took the rice into his mouth again.

How could he not eat? He wanted to remember every bite!

Only when he really takes it to heart will he remember why he ended up in such a situation today, and he will know that he thought he was protecting others, but in the end he couldn't protect anyone!

He raised his head and said: "Mommy, I'm fine! It's damp here. Your legs have been injured before. If you stay in a damp place for a long time, it will hurt. Don't stay here any longer. Go back."

Aunt Xu had no choice but to turn around and leave.

But asking her to leave like this made her feel very sad! Especially when she thought about the strange looks in the eyes of the jailers when she came in.

Therefore, she quietly inquired for a while. With the money to open the way, and her years of sophistication and acumen in the palace, she quickly got some information.

This made her even more surprised and worried, and she hurriedly returned to the palace to report to Concubine De: "Empress, His Highness Seventh is in the prison, and someone wants to harm him. Those jailers are all dead. If His Highness eats it, His Highness will be the one who dies.

!"

"The food in the sky prison is thick, hard and dry. It is not food for humans at all. His Majesty the Seventh Prince has always loved food and only eats delicious food. But he actually ate those things there."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is suffering too much. If this continues, what will His Highness do?"

……

Concubine De also felt heartbroken after hearing this.

She is just a palace concubine, and what she can do is limited. However, when Xian'er encounters such suffering, if it is just the suffering, and her life is in danger, she, a mother-in-law, is asked to stand by and watch, she can't do it.

She said: "Give me some make-up, and then I'll beg the emperor!"

"What do you want from me?" came a voice.

Concubine Xu was surprised and quickly saluted. This time the emperor came unexpectedly quietly, with no eunuchs singing the news.

Concubine De said: "I am here to see the Emperor!"

"You haven't recovered yet, get up quickly!" The emperor's voice was quite gentle.

However, Concubine De did not get up. She lowered her head and knelt there without moving.

At this time, Concubine De had not dressed up. She had black hair hanging down and was wearing a solid-color palace dress. Her shoulders were thin and her whole body looked slimmer.

The emperor felt a rare pity in his heart and said: "What are you doing?"

Concubine De fell to the ground and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
