After bidding a simple farewell to Baili Cang, who was trapped in the cell, Feng Yi pulled Chu Yunge's hand and they quickly left the seventh floor.
When they went down the sixth floor, because Feng Yi still clearly remembered the duration of each floor's patrol, he brought Chu Yunge and avoided the patrols of the guards on every floor.
Before the medicinal effect of the incense was completely finished, Feng Yi sent Chu Yunge back to the place on the third floor where he had imprisoned the princess' concubines.
After entering her own prison, Chu Yunge guarded the door as she looked at Feng Yi through the wooden fence. She told him everything she had thought of earlier, and after Feng Yi finished listening, he nodded in agreement, indicating that her plan was workable.
After that, Feng Yi gave some patient instructions to Chu Yunge. Before he left, Feng Yi lifted his right hand to his bosom and took out the small package of brown paper that he had prepared for Chu Yunge before leaving the place, giving it to him.
"Well, I know I'm greedy and I like those snacks. Locking here, although Baili Lan treats you like a little different from the others, but in the end, this is a prison room, it's impossible for me to give you precious delicacies from every meal, like how you live in the palace. I know you have always been eating this, so I asked Bai Lian to buy some for me to bring here. If you have nothing to do, you will be lonely. You will be locked in this cell, and no one will talk to you.
After stuffing this bag of snacks into Chu Yunge's hands, Feng Yi didn't forget to raise his hand and lightly scratch the bridge of her nose. He looked at her with an extremely doting gaze as he gently said: "Xiao Ge, leaving you here by yourself here is really wronging. You just have to endure for a day or two. At the most, we'll be able to go out in the evening the day after tomorrow. "
"It's okay, don't worry about me. I'm a cockroach that can't be beaten, I can live a good life no matter where I go." Didn't you see that in the afternoon? Even if you trap me in this cell, I have the ability to poke open the lock and walk out. " Chu Yunge raised her mouth, her face revealing a brilliant smile.
"Let's see if you can still smile. I truly submit." Feng Yi's finger could not stay any longer, and he once again lightly rubbed her forehead, then reluctantly said: "Alright, this time I really have to leave. If I don't leave now, those guards would suspect me."
"En, you can leave now!" Chu Yunge nodded strongly, giving him a comforting look.
Feng Yi saw that she was still acting weird and smiling, so he was relieved to leave.
At this moment, it was already midnight.
Outside, the bright moonlight shone through the window onto the green tiles of the cell.
Chu Yunge glanced at the two madwomen who were already sound asleep and slowly shook her head. She thought to herself, if she knew that his most beloved woman and her incomparably noble princess had turned into such a crazed state due to the ravages of the prison guards, she wondered how angry she would be.
Actually, it was not hard to understand why Baili Cang had refused to leave this place in the beginning.
If it was her, she would have been demoted to a bastard by Baili Lan and she would have been imprisoned here for ten years.
In the long night that spanned ten years, she didn't even need ten years. In just a year, she would go crazy in such a forbidden state.
No ideals or ambitions mattered anymore. He would naturally lose all hope in his life. He would feel despair and give up on himself. Even if he had the chance to go out, he wouldn't want to go out anymore.
If she hadn't stabbed Baili Cang in his sore spot in front of him and exposed his friends and relatives, he probably really would have given up on her.
In the end, Baili Cang's willpower was still stronger than hers. If it was her, any other person who was locked in here would go crazy within five years.
Baili Cang had persisted on for so many years and was imprisoned all day without anyone to accompany his, yet he was still able to maintain a state of clarity. It was already extremely rare for his to do so …
The next day.
"Oh, the princess just woke up. I think the journey here is too far. You haven't had a good rest, so you came here to catch up on your sleep?"
At noon, the jailer Chu Yunge, who was serving as a hairpin, came again to deliver food. She was holding a black, lacquered wooden plate with two side dishes and a bowl of white rice on it.
Chu Yunge had just woken up and was washing her face with water from the washbasin when the prison warden opened the door with a wooden tray and walked in from the corridor outside.
Chu Yunge immediately used the towel on the washbasin to wipe off some water before slowly turning around to look at the prison warden. Her clear voice floated out from her lips: "You've worked hard. I'll have to trouble you to deliver it yourself. "
"There and there. It's not hard." For a princess that can serve the Great Chu Kingdom, it is my fortune to be able to serve her for three lifetimes. The prison guard immediately smiled sweetly, he bent down and said to Chu Yunge, "Moreover, it's our duty to deliver food to the people living in the cells everyday, Princess, you don't have to be so courteous."
"The dishes today are a bit more exquisite than they looked yesterday." Chu Yunge walked in front of him, lowered her eyes, and muttered as she looked at the two dishes on his wooden plate.
The dishes on this plate were clearly much better than yesterday's.
It was no longer the fat meat cooked with cabbages, but the tender spring bamboo shoots and the plate of spicy spicy chicken meat. The food had caught up with the dishes in the restaurant outside.
"It's like this. Princess, you came to State Supervisor Temple in a hurry yesterday, so the chefs there didn't know you were the one with special status. The things you ordered didn't suit your needs." The jailer hurriedly explained to Chu Yunge, pointed to the dishes on the wooden tray and laughed, "To be honest, when you said that you were a princess yesterday, only I knew that the eunuch in the palace intentionally sent word that the princess who was sent into the tower yesterday was the princess of Great Chu Kingdom, and would be released soon after. As a result, everyone in the State Supervisor Temple knows, who dares to neglect you, and personally went to the big kitchen of State Supervisor Temple to ask the chef to cook to prepare some food for you."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Chu Yunge's face was calm as she nodded her head gently. There was no expression on her face that was as deep as water.
"Hehe, I dare not hide this from you. As for the matter of you being a princess, it's definitely not something that this lowly person said. " The jailer put down the wooden tray in his hand and bowed respectfully towards Chu Yunge before continuing, "If you don't like the dishes that I have brought here, I will take them back to the kitchen and have the cooks prepare some other dishes for you."
"Un, I was just about to tell you that I really don't like to eat these two dishes, but I didn't expect you to be so obedient. You didn't even need me to tell you what I meant." Chu Yunge's beautiful eyes did not blink as she looked at the prison warden, a tranquil smile slowly appearing on her beautiful and charming face.
Seeing Chu Yunge trying to make herself look good, the jailer became even happier and said respectfully: "Hehe, as servants, we must learn to see master's expression and conduct. In the past, the head jailer and the State Supervisor Temple young master were all masters of this lowly one, but it was different now … Aren't you my current master? If I don't make you feel comfortable serving me, wouldn't I have committed a great sin? "
With a flattering smile on his face, he looked at Chu Yunge: "Lady Princess, didn't you promise this lowly one before? As long as I serve you well and speak a few words with you during the meal delivery, when you go out in the future, I will definitely be rewarded with some gold and silver, and you will even be able to make this lowly one rich along with the officials. You are this lowly one's master, so this lowly one must be respectful and cautious in everything, taking you as the first one."
"Look at your smooth talkative little mouth and your observation skills. You are indeed quite smart." Chu Yunge despised him to the extreme, but she still maintained a calm smile on her face. Walking to the side of the porcelain block, with a wave of her long sleeve, she sat down on the porcelain block gracefully.
"I thank the princess for her praise!" The guard nodded, "What would you like to eat for lunch? "No matter what it is, as long as you say the word, I will make it for you."
"I don't really want to eat these greasy food today. I wonder if the chef in the main kitchen will be able to make candied wolfberry glutinous rice porridge? "Also, I want to eat some steamed food and a plate of steamed dumplings. I wonder if I can make some?" Chu Yunge blinked her amber eyes, looking at the jailer.
The smile on the jailer's face became even wider, not only because of Chu Yunge's identity, but also because of the elegant and beautiful aura Chu Yunge was giving off, "Of course you can! The two dishes that you want to eat are not particularly hard to cook. Although the cooks in State Supervisor Temple cannot compare to the chefs in the palace, they are still barely edible. As long as the princess wants it, why not? This little one will take away all the food and order the cooks to make you a new one. "
The guard took a few steps back and was about to leave the cell.
"Wait."
Chu Yunge slowly opened her mouth and shouted.
"Princess, do you have any other instructions?" The guard stopped and looked up at her.
"Are you going to take this food out on your own? Or are you preparing to fall? "
"This lowly one does not dare to lie to the princess. Before I sent food to the prison, the little ones had already eaten it. This is the rule of State Supervisor Temple, and I don't dare to go beyond it. "Therefore, I naturally cannot eat this dish. I must find a swill bucket and pour it in."
"Isn't that a pity? This princess has never touched these two dishes before. Furthermore, it is not easy for the peasants to grow their own land, and the grains are extremely tough. For them to be served with food so easily, perhaps even Buddha will blame them. How about this? I'll just treat this as doing a good deed. In any case, the food is for me, so I should have the right to take care of the place where the food goes, right? "
"Then Princess, your meaning is …" The guard looked at her suspiciously, waiting for her to finish.
