While Ji Chenan and Jiang Ziyi were whispering to each other, Mingyue had already been taken to the dungeon entrance.
As soon as she approached, she found that the place was dark and damp, and the cold air was filled with a foul stench.
At the entrance to the dungeon, there was a heavy iron door with a large and heavy iron chain wrapped around it.
There are two jailers guarding on the side. Obviously, once you enter this dungeon, escaping is a pipe dream.
At first on the way here, Mingyue tried to struggle, but the more she struggled, the tighter the people who were escorting her held her.
There is no sympathy for women at all.
She couldn't break free no matter what she did, so she gave up struggling.
The escort handed her and her guards over to the jailer and relayed the emperor's instructions. "These guards will be held separately, and this woman will be held with Qin."
Mingyue's temper flared up again when she heard this. She twisted her body in dissatisfaction to express her protest. What did she mean by "this woman"? She was the princess of Shen State!
However, it was useless for her to be angry, because her mouth was still tightly blocked, and she could not vent any dissatisfaction no matter how much she felt.
The jailers took her over, still roughly handcuffed her hands behind her back, and forced her to continue walking inside.
I opened the heavy iron door, and behind it was a dark, narrow corridor. The walls were made of rough, large stones, covered with dark spots. I couldn't tell if they were the result of blood spills...
Mingyue's guards were escorted in another direction. Now she was the only one being escorted in this direction. There were only a few dim oil lamps on the road, and the weak lights seemed like they would go out at any time.
She was filled with a huge panic at the moment, and a thought was occupying her mind at the moment: she would never be able to get out...
If she stayed here for the rest of her life, she wouldn't even be able to send a letter for help.
She didn't have a chance to think any further, as they had already arrived at her cell. The jailer standing at the door opened it, and the jailer escorting her pushed her hard inside.
Mingyue fell awkwardly onto the rough stone ground.
Because she was being pressed down by the backhand for a long time, her upper body was paralyzed at this moment. She lingered on the ground for a long time before gradually regaining consciousness.
She shook her aching arms and wrists, and angrily pulled the cloth out of her mouth. Only then did she realize that her face was stiff. She rubbed her face again, and it took a long time before she recovered.
Only then did she begin to look around the cell. The walls were damp, and it was obvious that the cell was very humid. There was even slippery moss on the ground.
There was still a lot of dust and filth in the corners.
There was only a dim oil lamp in the cell, barely illuminating a corner of the dungeon.
Suddenly, Mingyue saw a figure in white squatting in the corner through the dim light of the dungeon.
"Ah!!!!" Mingyue screamed in fright.
He rushed to the prison door and shouted in fear: "Let me out! Let me out! There is a ghost here!!!"
The jailer who was dozing off in the distance glanced at her impatiently and yelled unhappily, "Stop making such a fuss, bitch! I've been here all these years and haven't seen a ghost yet."
Mingyue pointed at the figure in the corner, trembling, "That, that, that, if it's not a ghost, then what is it!"
Her face was distorted with fear at this moment, and she ignored the fact that her address had changed from "this woman" to "you bitch".
The jailer stood up in a bad mood and glanced at the direction of Mingyue's finger. After he saw that it was Qin, he sneered with disdain: "Princess? I think you are more courageous than a chicken. Open your eyes and see clearly, that is a human being!"
Mingyue then looked back tremblingly. She didn't dare to retort even if the jailer scolded her, because she was afraid that the jailer would leave and she would be left alone with the "ghost".
When she looked clearly, she realized that there was a woman sitting in the corner.
Her hair was very long, but now it hung down in a messy manner on her face, and there were even many tangles due to being stained with dirt.
He was dressed in rags, skinny, and staring blankly ahead, as if he had lost his soul.
Mingyue looked at her with disdain, but when she knew she was not a ghost, she was not so scared anymore.
She turned to the jailer and asked kindly, "Brother jailer, when can I get out?"
In the past, she would never do this to someone of lower status than her.
But now I am under someone's roof and have to bow my head.
The jailer was sitting not far away and began to doze off, looking as if he was too lazy to pay attention to her.
No matter how she shook the iron door of the cell and asked questions, the jailer turned a deaf ear.
Mingyue could only find a corner in the cell and sit down.
She had been detained for a long time and only now realized that she had many bruises on her body that were aching slightly.
She had always lived a life of luxury since she was a child, so how could she have ever suffered such hardship?
She wanted to speak to Qin, but Qin looked lost, and she felt that even if she asked, she would not be able to get anything out of her.
Unexpectedly, after a long silence, Qin spoke first.
"You are a princess too?" Her tone was quite sarcastic.
When Qin first came to the prison, she cried out for justice every day, but no one paid any attention to her, so she stopped talking later.
Ever since she entered the cell, she had no idea what was happening outside. His Majesty had issued a special decree that even her father could not come to visit her, so she had been imprisoned here alone.
