With Bai Lian sending people to the Mystic Moon Palace to retrieve the map fragments, Chu Yunge did not need to worry about the palace anymore.
After meeting with Feng Yi, Chu Yunge had decided on the time for tonight's mission. As long as she obtained the map and rescued Crown Prince Baili Cang, her mission here would be completed.
He would no longer have to be locked in a four-sided house that was devoid of daylight and able to move about. He could leave this damned place and walk to the bustling market with a pile of his favorite snacks in his arms. He could go to the teahouse to listen to books, the dance hall to listen to music, and even go to the theater. No matter what he did, it would be a hundred times better than staying here to walk along the moat!
If Chu Yunge stayed in this place for a few more days, she would probably go crazy too, like those two crazy women opposite him.
It had only been two days since she had arrived at the State Supervisor Temple, but it was as if she had spent her days like a ruse. She felt as if she had stayed there for two years and didn't have a single family member nearby.
The people around him were either prison guards or madmen. Who could communicate with them?
Right now, there was only one thing on Chu Yunge's mind, and that was to hurry up and leave Baili Cang, and leave this dark and gloomy place. He would never want to return to this kind of hell on earth again in her entire life.
Feng Yi naturally saw through Chu Yunge's thoughts, he only smiled at her and did not say anything.
After giving Chu Yunge a bag of malt candy, she gave a few more warnings to Chu Yunge and agreed on a time to take action tonight. Only then did she quickly leave.
When Feng Yi had just left, the prison guard who was in charge of sending them off had come in. On a wooden tray in his hands, there were two bright red peppers fried meat and a chicken with tender green lotus leaves wrapped around it. With two hot steamed buns and a jug of apricot wine, the entire cell was filled with the fragrance of food.
"Lady Princess, I've brought you dinner." When the guard stepped forward, his face was already full of smiles.
"Mm, leave it there for now." Chu Yunge had already recovered the domineering posture that a princess should have. She sat upright on the porcelain block, with one hand on the round table as she lightly nodded to the jailer.
Yes, this little one is worried that the food is greasy and will feel uncomfortable if you eat too much, so I bought 2 jin of apricot wine from the market and brought you a pot of wine first. Have a look, if you enjoy tomorrow's lunch, then I will send it back to you. The prison warden had already carried the dinner to Chu Yunge's side, respectfully placing the wooden tray in his hands on the round table.
"You are very careful and very careful." Chu Yunge slightly parted her red lips, and let out a soft and clear voice, "However, I really can't eat this much food alone. How about you divide this transformed chicken into two and give it to the two crazy women opposite me? In case those two women on the opposite side of the prison always lie by the door and stare at us drooling. "
Chu Yunge said expressionlessly as she raised her eyes to look at the opposite cell.
The prison guard standing in front of Chu Yunge followed her line of sight and looked behind her.
He saw that the two women in the cell had crawled up from the grass and were lying side by side on the side of the cell door. Their hands were tightly holding onto the wooden pillar and their eyes were wide open as they stared in the direction of Chu Yunge's cell.
"Tsk tsk, these two bitches are actually so rude. If the princess feels that they are disturbing your peace and quiet and that they are an eyesore to you, I can help you teach them a lesson so that they won't pester you everyday!" The guard said without mercy as he looked at the two women. He raised his hands at the same time and made a gesture as if he was waving a whip.
"You can't!" Chu Yunge did not hesitate at all to reject the jailer's suggestion. She knitted her eyebrows and scolded the jailer in a low voice, "How can a person be so ruthless? Although the two women opposite to them are no longer polite and have no manners, they were once princesses with esteemed status. Moreover, they were not the ones who did anything wrong when they were imprisoned, they were just implicated. If that's the case, why are you so upset about their craziness?
Chu Yunge swept her gaze across the two women lying at the entrance of the prison, then retracted her gaze and slowly looked at the prison warden, her gaze becoming much colder, "They are pitiful people, and you are also a man. As a man, you should also have a lot of understanding towards these weak girls, how can you just hit and scold them?"
"This …" Perhaps Chu Yunge never thought that Chu Yunge would have such a merciful heart. Seeing Chu Yunge reprimanding him, the guard was obviously startled, her face dark, as if she was in a bad mood.
Chu Yunge sneered in his heart. Hmph, this kind of person who disagrees with rules and regulations, was indeed the same kind of person. He had a glib tongue, but in his heart, he was extremely petty.
If it wasn't for the fact that she was the princess of Great Chu Kingdom and there was the possibility of her leaving, most likely the jailer would have already whipped her and taught her a lesson!
The Crown Princess and the Crown Princess were both people under the Crown Prince's command. They had never broken the law. They were just dragged into this mess, so they ended up as concubines.
The two women who were raised in this kind of place had been imprisoned for so many years and had suffered all sorts of torture. If an ordinary person saw them, even if they weren't sad, they would still feel depressed.
The guard in front of them didn't show the slightest mercy. He even wanted to beat up these two weak women!
It was simply a heart of stone, adding on to the fact that she had such a fake face, Chu Yunge felt extremely disgusted just by looking at him!
If there wasn't a place that he could still be used for, Chu Yunge really wanted to smash this vulgar man until she fainted with a hammer!
"Princess has taught them a lesson. This little one didn't think too much about it. I only wanted to teach those two bitches a lesson for Princess after seeing that crazy woman let her enjoy her meal …" The gloomy expression on the prison warden's face lasted for a moment, and in the next second, he reverted back to his original fawning smile. He curled his lips, and laughed as he bent his eyes to explain to Chu Yunge.
"Hmph, so you want to hit them both because of my relationship?" Chu Yunge calmly looked at the prison warden, her lips curled in a unilateral smile, revealing a cold sneer, "If that's the case, is it still this princess' fault?"
"I don't dare, I don't mean it that way."
Seeing that Chu Yunge's expression had completely changed, the prison guard immediately shook his head. He knelt down on one knee and bowed to Chu Yunge, then said with a trembling voice: "Princess, please forgive me for my unkind words just now, but I did not mean it that way. I was only saying those words because I was acting on your behalf. There was no intention of overstepping the boundaries of the princess! This little one is completely devoted to you, Lady Princess, and the heavens can see it. If it wasn't for the princess that I could eat in peace, this little one would not have scolded them. "
"Alright, you don't need to explain anymore. I know that you're doing this for the best." The cold smile on Chu Yunge's face finally faded, and her face returned to its previous calm. She sat on the ground with a face as heavy as water, looking down at the kneeling jailer from above and said softly, "You can get up now. I still want to eat dinner, so I won't bother with what happened just now. Now take out that chicken, divide it into two, and give it to those two crazy women. "
"…" Hearing that Chu Yunge would not pursue the matter any further, the jailer spoke in a much softer tone. He had finally put down a huge boulder in his heart, and continued to kneel on the ground, letting out a sigh of relief.
When Chu Yunge saw that the jailer did not immediately get up, he raised her eyebrows in displeasure and questioned him in a dragged voice, "What, you're not willing? This princess will not repeat what I just said a third time! "
"No, no, no. I was just distracted. It's not that I don't want to, I will do as the princess says!" The jailer stood up immediately and walked to the round table. He picked up the Giant Cock that was wrapped with lotus leaves and carried it out. He brought it outside the cell, found a bowl and split the Giant Cock into half.
Chu Yunge, on the other hand, remained as steady as Mt. Tai. She sat in her cell, picked up her ivory chopsticks, and started to drink.
But in reality, Chu Yunge was also using the corner of her eyes to continuously look at the cell opposite him, observing her every move to see if she obeyed her orders.
In the cell opposite, when the two women saw the entire roasted chicken, they immediately drooled from the corner of their mouths.
After the jailer left, the two women pounced on the chicken like ferocious tigers pouncing on their prey.
Hearing the sounds of them fighting over food again, Chu Yunge felt a burst of sadness in her heart. If she still had the ability to save even more people, she definitely wouldn't just bring Baili Cang away.
But how many innocent people were locked up in the Sherry Tower?
Besides the crown prince's wife and the secondary wife, there were countless other princes and princesses whose lives were even more miserable than this.
It was impossible for her to escape with so many people.
To truly save these people, the only way was to overthrow Baili Lan's imperial power and change the criminal law system within the Bright Moon Kingdom. Only then, would he be able to cripple this terrifying hell on earth called State Supervisor Temple.
If he wanted to defeat Baili Lan, he would have to rescue Baili Cang tonight.
That night, at midnight.
Chu Yunge sat at the dressing table in her cell, raised her head and looked at the window frame on the roof, at the cold silver moonlight outside, and waited quietly.
Since she had not rested tonight, she was afraid that she would delay the meeting. Furthermore, because she had to settle some important matters, her heart was agitated and she had a lot of things on her mind, so she sat here thinking about what she should do after leaving the State Supervisor Temple.
Not long after, Chu Yunge suddenly heard the sound of a cell door being unlocked not far behind him.
"Crack ~ ~ ~"
The sound of metal gears turning echoed in the silent cell.
The prisoners on both sides of the corridor had all fallen asleep. The entire third floor was as silent as an underground tomb.
Suddenly, a sound came out from the cell, as if a rock had been dropped on a calm lake, causing countless ripples to appear in the cell. This also caused Chu Yunge, who was sitting on the chair, to immediately turn her head to look at the cell door.
"Bitch Feng, you've finally come." Seeing the tall and handsome figure that stood at the entrance, a look of pleasant surprise flashed past Chu Yunge's eyes. He pouted and stood up from the chair, her clear eyes brimming with joy.
