Chu Yunge studied the layout of the room. Although the room was not luxurious and warm, it was still elegant and pretty.
Just as she was thinking if all the cells in the State Supervisor Temple were arranged in this way, her cell door was suddenly opened by someone.
The prison doors were made of iron that was as thick as a person's wrist. Even martial arts cultivators might not be able to open them with a single palm strike, not to mention that most of the people locked inside were princes or high-ranking officials.
Following the direction of the voice, Chu Yunge saw a guard dressed in dark red clothes standing behind the metal fence. The guard was holding a tray in his hands, and on the tray, there was a hot plate of food.
"Time to eat!" The jailer shouted to Chu Yunge who was standing in the room, then opened the cell door and carried the tray to the round table. She placed the dinner on the table and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment, this official."
Just as the jailer turned around, Chu Yunge called out from behind him to stop him.
"What is it?" The jailer turned to look at Chu Yunge, his face filled with impatience.
It was probably because none of the people imprisoned in the State Supervisor Temple had ever been able to leave this place alive. As a result, the jailer simply looked down on Chu Yunge and spoke in a manner that was far inferior to the jailers he met in the Ministry of Justice's Prison.
"What's your attitude?"
Chu Yunge was not an ordinary person. Upon seeing the jailer's displeased look, Chu Yunge's face darkened as she stared at the jailer in front of him with a serious face. There was no smile on her face at all as her bright eyes stared intently at the jailer.
"I... "We're all like this here …" The jailer was afraid of being attacked by force and was stunned when he saw that not only was Chu Yunge not afraid of him, but he was also angry at him. He thought that he had offended some great figure and started to stutter in nervousness.
"I don't care what attitude you have towards others here, but towards me, you'd better be polite!" Chu Yunge's eyes were sharp like a torch, her eyes were like daggers looking at the guards, he raised his hand and pointed at the furnishings in the house, "Do you see the furnishings in this house? "You think you would live in a cell like this if you didn't have any background at all?"
When Chu Yunge said these words, she was not confident enough.
In fact, she had never come to the State Supervisor Temple before.
No one knew what the prison cell inside the State Supervisor Temple was like nor did anyone tell anyone about it.
When she was entering the State Supervisor Temple, her eyes were tied with a black cloth, and it was under the lead of two guards that she walked step by step into the State Supervisor Temple.
He simply did not have the chance to see what the other cells in State Supervisor Temple looked like, and was even less aware of the distribution of the corridors and cells in the State Supervisor Temple.
He could only rely on his senses and the number of his steps to gauge how far he had walked and how many turns he had taken.
Judging from the number of steps he took to walk in, his State Supervisor Temple must have been at least a few thousand square meters. Moreover, it seemed to be divided into three or four levels.
Maybe her cell was on the third floor, so he didn't go any further and only brought her this far.
Since she still did not know much about State Supervisor Temple, she did not have much confidence in saying this sentence.
But hearing the tone of Baili Lan before he left, he still hoped that Chu Yan would bring an envoy to negotiate with him, and that he would definitely leave her alive, and not treat her too harshly.
Then her cell should not be too bad, otherwise, when Baili Lan saw her, he would not be able to explain himself.
"Did you see it clearly?" Chu Yunge saw that the guard was in a daze and she already had a plan in her mind. She went further, "Let me be honest with you, I am the Imperial Protector Princess of the Great Chu Kingdom. But because I am a person of the Great Chu Kingdom, sooner or later my royal father will send someone to save me, so I have the chance to leave. If you treat me badly, don't blame me for retaliating when I go out! "
"This... Hehe, I don't know that you're a princess, but the warden hasn't told me yet. " The attitude of the prison warden immediately became much more amiable. A fawning smile appeared on his stiff face. His originally straight back bent down and asked, "I wonder what orders do you have for me, Lady Princess?"
"Hmph, the prison warden didn't tell you because he neglected this matter. But you can ask if I'm a princess! I am not the crippled princess of Bright Moon Kingdom, so don't think that I will be locked in State Supervisor Temple by your emperor and will die forever here! Even when my third brother Chu Yan comes to save me, I will still be the Grand Princess of Great Chu Kingdom. "
After Chu Yunge snorted, she turned around and strutted over to sit on the porcelain block beside the round table. She looked at Erlang Shen and continued, "Let me ask you, where am I being held at in State Supervisor Temple? Just how big was his State Supervisor Temple? "How many places are split?"
"This …" The prison warden hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Chu Yunge's arrogant attitude did not decrease, she became a lot more fearful. She carefully turned her head to look at the corridor outside and continued: "Although the distribution of State Supervisor Temple is not a secret, but it is also not so easily known to the criminals. Princess, the place where you are being locked up is the center of State Supervisor Temple, the sarira de. The saritas have a total of seven floors, and your current position is the third. "
"I heard that before Bright Moon Kingdom, Minister Humerus committed a crime and was also imprisoned here. Could it be that he is also in the sarita?" Chu Yunge continued to ask.
The prison guard replied with a very low voice, he smiled at Chu Yunge in a flattering manner and continued to speak, "The saritas are places where the royal blood is locked up. No matter how high position those high-ranking officials of the humerus were in the past, they were only officials. How could they be qualified to be locked up in the Sherry Tower? They are all locked in an underground cell in State Supervisor Temple, and are unable to see the light of day throughout the year. "
"In that case, the place where the royal family is locked up is a good place?" Chu Yunge raised her eyebrows, the depths of her eyes revealed an inquisitive expression.
"Of course. Although both of them had committed heinous crimes, the royal family still possessed the dragon bloodline. They could be considered to have great wealth. The Emperor had decreed that the royal family should not be allowed to live with common criminals. Therefore, anyone with any status who came from a royal family would be placed within this tower. The tower is very spacious and every cell has a window.
"How is that princess's cell compared to the other guilty princesses?"
"Much better." The jailer explained carefully, "You are the Grand Princess of Great Chu Kingdom after all. Even if you do not look at the Buddhist Sangha, the Emperor will not make things difficult for you. But the other princesses were different. "They are both children of the late emperor, and are only siblings with the current emperor, not the same mother. Since they are suspected of conspiring against him, being locked up here is already lenient, so how could they possibly live in such a good prison?"
"So you're saying that the furnishings in their rooms are all old?"
"More than just old stuff?" The prison warden's face changed as his flattering smile faded into a serious expression, "You don't know, those princesses were people who lived in luxury before coming in, but after entering the Sherita, they were kept in the first floor. They used old things, such as broken beds, broken tables, and after ten years, the red paint on the tables had all fallen off and no one was able to fix them. "There are only two meals a day, and there is no meat to be had. You just have to avoid starving to death."
"..." They are princesses. Is that not harsh? " Chu Yunge cautiously asked.
"What is this? If there was no meaning from the top, how could Shaoqing with his State Supervisor Temple dare to let others do such a thing? Isn't that what the palace means? " The jailer raised his hand and pointed to the left, as if pointing in the direction of the palace, and continued, "The people in the palace sent word for such treatment. Besides, the people who were locked in were the princes. Once they moved in, they would be worse off than the commoners outside. It's good enough to have a meal. Why would you want anything else? "
After Chu Yunge heard this, she looked towards the dinner table.
On the tray, there were two dishes and two steamed buns. On one plate, there was wintermelon fried meat, while on the other, there was cabbage and burnt potatoes.
Even though it was not a good dish, there was still meat in it. It seemed that the treatment she received was different.
"Those princesses are only women and they don't participate in national affairs either. They are no more than those princes and princes who are too close to each other, so they were dragged in. If the treatment for the princess is so terrible, then wouldn't those princes be in an even worse state? " Chu Yunge rolled her eyes and asked indirectly, wanting to ask about the news of the crippled Crown Prince Baili Cang step by step.
"Of course. This one does not know about the past, but ever since this one started working here for three years, I have never seen those princes who could still bathe and change their clothes after entering … "
"…" Hearing that, Chu Yunge frowned, she immediately lost her appetite and stopped eating.
In the three years that the guards had been on duty, they had never seen the princes change their clothes and take a bath.
What about the years before the jailer took the job? Were the princes also locked up in their cells, wearing tattered clothes, unable to take a bath or change clothes even if they stank?
"Those princes don't have clothes to change. They can't even bathe in? Then how could they stand it? Moreover, after not taking a bath for so many years, wasn't his body giving off a coquettish stench? "How do you guards get in to deliver food?"
"We've never been in there before!" The guard said in a serious tone, "Those princes' meals are all held in a big wooden bucket. At the meal time, the guards will take the bucket and go outside the cells. They will scoop out the food from the bucket and pour it into the iron bowl at the entrance of the cell. We don't need to go in. "
Chu Yunge had already imagined that terrifying scene just from hearing the jailer's words.
He filled the bowl with rice and walked up to the door of the cell to scoop a spoonful of rice. How was this a imprisoned prince?
Aren't they f * cking feeding the pigs!?
Chu Yunge didn't need to ask to know what was in those rice buckets.
It must be the food of those princesses! It was either the food that was spoiled or the leftovers from the slops of those jailers!
