Ling Wu stood quietly in the dark cell, listening to Ling Yun's retreating footsteps, carefully looking at the dirty cell, and couldn't help but frown.
She casually swept away a corner with her feet and sat down against the wall.
After sitting down, her eyes began to take stock of the environment she was in. Opposite and on both sides of her cage, there were cages surrounded by fences, basically all of which contained one person.
Judging from the restraints on those people, this should be a place where important prisoners are held, and all of them should be people with special skills.
Lingwu concluded this from the fact that the prisoners were all wearing heavy shackles, with chains on their shoulders passing through their collarbones.
Unlike those prisoners, Ling Wu had no restraints on her body. Such a cell could not trap her at all, but she still sat obediently. She was reluctant to even stand for a moment, because that consumes more energy than sitting.
Just because of what Ling Yun whispered in her ear before leaving: "At night, I will save you and go save Ling Fei."
Ling Wu had to believe Ling Yun's words
Because when those yamen officials wanted to treat her the same way they treated the prisoners, they were kicked hard by Ling Yun, and another ingot of gold was dropped. The threats of kindness and force were not allowed to touch her even a finger.
She has been completely defeated. Except for her death, everything has reached the worst point. Even if she believes in Ling Yun, nothing will be worse than now.
Ling Wu sighed inwardly and simply closed her eyes to rest. It was only morning now and there was still too long until night.
"I heard that she was once the concubine of the new emperor before he ascended the throne. I don't know what she did to end up being imprisoned here by the emperor?"
"Shh!" Another voice sounded softly: "Who knows about the things in the palace? We'd better not talk nonsense, so as not to be..."
The discussion between the two patrolling jailers walking past Lingwu's cell made Lingwu, who had her eyes closed, slightly raise the corners of her mouth, but her heart was full of bitterness. She actually wanted to know the reason. Who could know, why?
