"Empress …" Sherry called again, but the queen had already turned her back on him and was asleep.
The Celestial Prison.
The prison was dark and damp. Occasionally, cockroaches and rats would slip past in the corner, and a beam of light would shine through the large square window, making it seem even colder.
Like an abandoned white kitten, she was curled up on her knees and hugging her calves, curled up helplessly in the corner, her face buried in a fox-fur cloak, her eyes wide and empty, and her whole person even paler and thinner.
There were tears in her eyes, and with a little wink of her large eyes, tears would fall.
Since last night, when she was imprisoned in this prison, she had not been able to drink a single drop of water. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of the expression her royal father had when he said he wished to kill her.
"Ling Yue'er, Ling Yue'er …" At this moment, the prison door suddenly produced a clattering sound, and then they heard a somewhat anxious voice.
Her large eyes slightly blinked as she slowly raised her head. She saw Xiao He standing at the entrance to the prison with an anxious expression on his face. Both of his hands tightly gripped the door as he said, "Sorry, Yue Er, I came late. How are you right now?"
"…" Feng Lingyue sat there without moving, only slowly shaking her head.
When Xiao He saw this, he felt his heart ache. He softened his tone and said, "Mu Ru Yue Er, don't worry. I won't ignore you."
Feng Lingyue still sat there motionlessly, not even blinking her eyes. The interior was filled with emptiness, confusion, and fear …
Xiao He lowered his head and looked at the dishes on the ground, but didn't even move. He quickly took out a hot meat pie and spoonfully said with a smile:
"Look, this is your favorite cake. I just bought it, eat it quickly. No matter what happens, you have to fill your stomach. Only then will you have the strength to do other things."
Finally, Feng Lingyue slowly raised her head and looked at the meat pancake in Xiao He's hand that was still emitting heat. She opened her mouth and spoke with a hoarse voice:
"So you were the one who bought the meat pancakes from a few days ago? I thought it was a gift. "
"Who bought it is not important. You can eat it." Xiao He stretched out his hand a little longer. "Quickly take it and eat."
However, Feng Lingyue shook her head. She had no appetite, and didn't want to eat: "Xiao He, I didn't harm Thirteenth Sister, I don't know what's in Thirteenth Sister's medicine, so she told me to fry it. I really didn't do anything to harm anyone, and I don't know why she fainted after drinking my medicine."
"Ling Yue'er, there's no need to explain. Of course I believe in you. You won't hurt anyone!" Xiao He felt his heart ache when he saw her unable to defend herself.
"But …" but royal father doesn't believe me at all. He, he wished that I would die, he said that he had never liked this daughter of mine, and he said that he regretted not killing me … " Feng Lingyue finally buried her head between her knees and began to cry.
She cried sorrowfully and despairingly. The sound echoed in the empty prison, causing Xiao He's heart to clench into a knot.
"Yue'er, don't worry. I will definitely find evidence to prove your innocence. You just wait here peacefully. You must eat properly and not harm your body, do you understand?" Xiao He placed the meat patty on the tray with the dishes. After looking at Feng Lingyue for a while, he clenched his teeth and quickly walked out.
He took out two silver ingots from his chest pocket and gave it to the prison guard. "No matter what, the one inside is the daughter of the direct kin of the emperor, and it's a golden tree leaf. You better not add insult to injury. If I find out that you've treated her badly, then don't blame me for having no eyes."
The prison warden knew who the person in front of him was and hurriedly refused, "Young Marquis, the truth is, His Highness has already paid us silver once and it's the same as what you said. This servant doesn't dare to ask for more silver." The guard was someone who knew when to advance and when to retreat. He didn't dare to act recklessly.
Xiao He was stunned. The Ninth Prince has already come? " Do you know what the Ninth Prince and the Eleventh Princess said? "
The guard shook his head and said, "The ninth prince didn't go in to see the princess. He only told the servant at the door to treat the eleventh princess well."
A trace of thoughts flashed in Xiao He's eyes. He gave the silver to the guard and said, "I understand. Take the silver and find her some delicious things to eat." With that said, he hurriedly left the Sky Prison.
Lian Ruyue accompanied Feng Huyao all the way to the afternoon and fell asleep. After kneeling down with Lian Zhaoyi, they left the Elegant Maiden Palace.
Once she had left, Feng Yunyao opened her eyes, sat up, and said, "Mufei, what do you think she meant by coming today? Did her grandmother really send her? "
"Your grandmother must have asked her to come visit you, but we don't know if she has any other motive. This person is too scheming, and we must not forget the lesson of the previous cruise ship. We must be more cautious."
"Mufei, may I know why? She always makes me feel scared, as if she can see through everything. Did she already see that I was the one who harmed Sister Eleven? " Feng Tang Yao thought about the morning she spent with him, and felt a lingering fear in her heart.
"She is truly a powerful person. I have seen everyone in the palace for more than ten years, but I have never seen anyone like her. She is good at scheming, is vicious, and when she is fierce, she doesn't care about anything. She doesn't even care about the relationship between my family and me. Lian Zhaoyi smiled bitterly and said, "What a pity, for such a meticulous and meticulous person to be surnamed Lian and break the bones and tendons of his relatives, even his family is good, I am good, even his family is better. We should have been on the same side, but now we have become enemies and let others take advantage of us."
"It's only the last cruise. We only wanted our royal father to deal with her as soon as possible, so there shouldn't be any unforeseen events. Yet, she is actually so jealous. She shouldn't think about what her surname is?" Feng Tang said indignantly.
"You …" Lian Zhaoyi lightly pinched her face. "The empress's anger has run out. Yue'er is half dead, yet you still want to make trouble for her. You want me to take care of the aftermath for you after causing such a mess."
"Mufei." Feng Tang Yao pouted and said, "Just this once, as long as Sister Eleven is removed from her identity as a princess, then that's enough."
"Whether you are a princess or not doesn't really matter to you, aiya." Lian Zhaoyi did not know the thoughts of Feng Yunyao towards Xiao He, and only thought that his daughter was willful.
"Anyway, this is the only time." Feng Yu said in a spoiled manner.
Lian Zhaoyi was still worried. Lian Meng Yue said to Senior Servant Chun,
