"Let her in."
The three of them were stunned when they heard this. Prince Duan quickly stood up.
"Let her in!"
Bai Lu was invited in next, her eyes red as she kept wiping away tears.
"Your Majesty."
"Get up quickly."
He stepped forward and supported Bai Lu. From Prince Duan's perspective, there were bruises on Bai Lu's cheeks, which should have been caused by Chu Zhiyao's slap just now.
She is still like this, Prince Duan is even more worried about Gu Qingsheng
"What happened? Is Kiyomori injured?"
Since Gu Qingsheng was taken away from the teahouse, he hurried into the palace without having the chance to see her.
Listening to the people who were there at the time, Chu Zhiyao seemed to be very angry. Bai Lu was beaten like this. If Qingsheng was beaten like this...
He didn't dare to think about it, but he saw Bai Lu with her eyes lowered, her hands constantly twisting, her shoulders suddenly twitching and she started crying again.
The fear in his heart suddenly intensified, and Prince Duan took a step back, his hand leaving Bai Lu's side.
"she……"
As if to prove that what he thought in his heart was false, Prince Duan suddenly ran outside and bumped into Eunuch Li who was about to come in. Eunuch Li let out a shrill cry of "ouch" and he didn't even see Prince Duan's figure clearly.
“Really.”
The Queen Mother frowned and clenched the string of Buddhist beads in her hand.
“It’s becoming increasingly lawless.”
After she said this, she glanced at the emperor, who immediately understood. He said goodbye to the empress dowager and followed her.
…
The cell was very smelly, but compared to the smell in other cells, it was still good.
Although it was the emperor himself who ordered her arrest, fortunately she had the identity of Princess Changle, which was much better than the prison she was in before her death in her previous life.
Without even frowning, Gu Qingsheng walked to the edge of the cage and found a haystack to sit on. The grass beneath her became damp from being in the dark for a long time, wetting her dress.
After looking around for a while, she felt somewhat familiar with this place.
"Your jail life is like staying in a hotel."
Miao Lanlan smiled at her, but there was still curiosity in her tone.
"This is my first time seeing your prison. It's even worse than those TV shows... Tsk..."
Putting aside the environment around the cell, the wailing and crying around it give people goose bumps.
The officers and soldiers who sent Gu Qingsheng to jail saw that her reaction was a little strange, muttered, and then walked away.
"Let's guess..."
Probably because he had some free time, Gu Qingsheng started talking to Miao Lanlan.
"How long can Luo Zhaozhao hold on this time?"
A malicious smile came from the black ocarina, and Miao Lanlan answered with a smile
"I think, about three days? This time it's a bombshell, she..."
Before Miao Lanlan could finish her words, a burst of hurried footsteps came over.
As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Prince Duan standing outside the cell, panting.
"Kyomori!"
He left in too much of a hurry and was blown by the wind on the way, so Prince Duan's clothes were a little messy. At this moment, he was breathing deeply and looking at Gu Qingsheng with eyes full of pity.
Ever since Gu Qingsheng could remember as a child, except for the day his mother died, he had never seen Prince Duan behave so mischievously.
"Father?!"
She came before Prince Duan, clasped the embroidered prison door with both hands, and was surprised.
"Father, why...where's Bailu? Is Bailu okay?!"
When he was captured, Bai Lu was still in a faint. Although Xu Qing thought that he didn't need to worry at all, he still couldn't help but feel uneasy.
She naturally knew better than anyone how strong Chu Zhiyao was.
"She's fine."
His eyes softened, and Prince Duan sighed. His eyes slowly moved to Gu Qingsheng's bruised neck, but he was blocked by a piece of clothing in time. He raised his head and saw Gu Qingsheng's indifferent smile.
"It's okay, Father."
This appearance made Prince Duan feel sad. The thin figure in front of him overlapped with the figure in his memory. He reached into the cell and touched her head.
"You have suffered, and your father will seek justice for you."
The jailer, who had just fastened his belt and urinated, breathed a sigh of relief and saw the figure in brocade clothes in front of Gu Qingsheng's prison from a distance.
He stared with his eyes wide open and ran over with his pants pulled up.
"Hey! Who are you? When did you come in?!"
As he ran closer, his voice gradually became quieter. After realizing that the man was Prince Duan, he almost bit his tongue off. He fell to his knees with a plop, his body shaking like a sieve.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I am blind and don't recognize Mount Tai. I am shortsighted. Your Majesty, please spare me. Your Majesty, please spare me."
Prince Duan withdrew his hand and glanced at the jailer coldly.
"Open the door."
The jailer was in a dilemma. He looked around, lowered his head, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead. He began to kowtow repeatedly.
"Without the Emperor's order, I cannot open the prison door... Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
Before Prince Duan could speak again, Gu Qingsheng shook his head.
"Father, you don't have to worry too much, and don't make things difficult for him."
"It's all thanks to him that my cage is relatively clean."
This temporarily dispelled Prince Duan's anger, and he started to worry about Gu Qingsheng again.
"I'm sorry for the hardship you've endured. I heard about that incident, Qingsheng. Don't be afraid."
"This matter has been reported to the Queen Mother. I believe you will be able to come out soon. Then your father will take you to the General's Mansion to ask for an explanation."
"That's not necessary, Father."
Some light from outside the window refracted through the wooden windows, and the light and shadows shining on her face seemed a little unreal.
Get closer to Prince Duan, you can smell the rust and feel the cold
"That Chu Zhiyao is just a fool who was used. The person we really need to find is probably not having a good time lately."
…
As if he was afraid that his brother might cause trouble in the prison, when the emperor and his men arrived, he happened to see Prince Duan patting the corner of his robe and coming out.
The two men bumped into each other head-on. Seeing the emperor's anxious look, Prince Duan raised his eyebrows.
"How is Kiyomori?"
After all, it was he who arrested Gu Qingsheng. If he asked him again now, the emperor would feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, let her stay in there."
After saying this, he walked over without paying any attention to the stunned people. The emperor stood there stiffly, and for a moment he thought that Prince Duan was not normal.
…
"Prince, there is no need to worry about these things."
Zhang Fan, the Minister of Rites, got out of a fine carriage, followed by Lei Man, who looked worried.
After he got off the carriage, he looked up at the building in front of him with a lack of interest.
"It's already this late, and the Minister still has so much leisure time."
Leiman sneered and turned to get on the carriage, but Zhang Fan pulled him back and made a sound of "tsk".
"Why are you in such a hurry, Prince? This is nothing like an ordinary brothel."
"It will definitely make you forget about what's going on right now."
Seeing Zhang Fan winking at him, Leiman's gaze finally stopped on the "Huaixiang Pavilion" above.
"Oh? What's the difference?"
