Di Su then looked at Granny Shang and Bihe and Lülian and said, "You should go with our distinguished guests. If the Dowager Consort and the Princess Consort are rescued, they will need someone to serve them."
Granny Shang thought the same thing. She already felt ashamed for not going to the imperial prison with the Dowager Consort. She definitely had to go with Doctor Luo and the others so that they could rescue the Dowager Consort.
Bihe and Lülian had no objections.
They still wanted to stay by the princess's side and serve her, as the princess was about to give birth and it would be impossible for her to be without someone by her side.
Thinking of Su Xuening's impending childbirth, Bihe quickly said to Pei Luo, "Doctor Luo, please also bring the midwife that the Dowager Consort prepared. In case the Princess Consort needs to give birth, she will be able to use her."
The midwives were all chosen by the Dowager Princess; they were all trustworthy people. If the Princess were to give birth prematurely, it would not be easy to find a midwife who was trustworthy enough again.
Bihe was the most thoughtful one. Pei Luo nodded and said, "Let's go then!"
Pei Luo and his group, along with Su Yun'an, Granny Shang, Bihe Lülian, and several midwives, left the capital for the bamboo forest.
Upon arriving at the bamboo forest, Pei Luo and the others began discussing how to rescue people from the Heavenly Prison.
The Heavenly Prison.
The jailer had just delivered dinner to Su Xuening and Bai Shi.
Although dinner was not as luxurious as that of the Prince's mansion, it was still clean and tidy, and it was clear that it was different from what the other prisoners ate.
Although the jailer gave them preferential treatment, neither Bai Shi nor Su Xuening had much of an appetite.
Seeing that the food they brought was relatively clean, Madam Bai comforted her, "Ning'er, please eat something. We don't know how many days we'll be here, and you can't go hungry."
She's over eight months pregnant now, which is a time when she gets hungry easily, so how can she not eat anything at all!
Su Xuening really had no appetite: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat anything."
Just as Bai was about to try to persuade her again, she saw the jailer arrive with several Imperial Guards.
The jailer opened the door and went to the cell to pull Su Xuening up.
"What are you doing!" Bai immediately grabbed Su Xuening and angrily rebuked the two prison guards.
The jailer was somewhat intimidated by Bai.
The two imperial guards outside said expressionlessly, "His Majesty has decreed that the Holy Princess be summoned to the palace for questioning."
"The Emperor has issued an edict?" Bai Shi didn't believe their nonsense at all and sneered, "Is it really an edict from the Emperor? Show me the imperial edict."
The lie was exposed on the spot, and the Imperial Guards were furious: "What right do you, a prisoner, have to see the imperial edict?"
After saying that, he glared at the jailer and said, "Why aren't you bringing her out yet? Do you want the Emperor to wait for her?"
After being scolded, the jailer dared not be negligent again and immediately pulled Su Xuening out of the cell.
"How dare you! Let go of me, both of you!" Madam Bai was unwilling to let go, but she alone was no match for the strength of the two jailers. Moreover, she dared not pull Ning'er too hard, after all, Ning'er was pregnant.
Unable to hold him back any longer, Lady Bai simply followed him out of the prison cell: "Isn't the Emperor going to question me? I'll come into the palace with you."
The Imperial Guard immediately sneered, "His Majesty wants to see the Holy Princess Consort. Do you think just anyone can see His Majesty?"
...As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
The jailer gave Bai a fawning look.
Even though they were jailers in the imperial prison, they knew that the Emperor's most favored person was the Holy Princess Dowager. Others might not be able to see the Emperor, but to say that the Holy Princess Dowager couldn't see him was going too far!
Bai's face turned pale with anger.
If the emperor weren't currently under control, she would definitely have him behead them all.
The Imperial Guards realized they had been too arrogant and dared not curse Bai Shi any further. They grabbed Su Xuening and said, "Why aren't you leaving? Do you want to be tortured?"
"Ning'er!" Seeing Su Xuening stumble and almost fall, Madam Bai immediately rushed over to help her, but was stopped by the Imperial Guards: "Holy Princess Dowager, the Emperor has not summoned you, you must remain in the Heavenly Prison!"
The two men pushed Bai Shi back into the prison and had the jailers lock the door.
"Ning'er!" Madam Bai cried out anxiously, desperately pulling at the prison door.
Seeing that she had no choice but to go with them, Su Xuening quickly reassured Bai Shi: "Mother, I'm fine. I'm capable of protecting myself, so you can stay in the prison."
Su Xuening looked at Bai Shi meaningfully and said silently: No need to wait for me.
Master and Uncle-Master might be coming to the Heavenly Prison to rescue people. It's better to do this sooner rather than later. They might come tonight, so someone needs to be there to meet them in the Heavenly Prison.
Both of them cannot enter the palace, otherwise Master and Uncle-Master will really be unable to find them.
After Su Xuening finished speaking, she followed the two Imperial Guards out.
"Ning'er!" Madam Bai pounded on the prison door in a panic, shouting, "If any of you dare to harm a single hair on my daughter-in-law's head, I will have your entire family executed, leaving you with no place to bury your bodies!"
Bai's furious roar terrified all the prisoners in the prison.
What extraordinary person has been imprisoned here? It's me, the Empress, and someone whose entire family was executed, leaving no place for them to be buried!
Even the two Imperial Guards were sweating profusely from Bai's shouts, and the words they originally wanted to say to Su Xuening were immediately swallowed back.
Well, before the Second Prince and the Third Prince deal with them, it's best not to offend them too much.
Upon arriving outside the prison, Su Xuening saw a carriage.
She had expected to be picked up in a prison cart, but instead it was a horse-drawn carriage.
Su Xuening suddenly narrowed her eyes.
It's not the Emperor who wants to see her, it's Xuanyuan Yu!
Why did he want to see her? What did he want to do?
Thinking of this person's obsession with her, Su Xuening felt flustered again.
However, things have come to this point, and even if she doesn't want to face Xuan Yuan Yu anymore, he probably won't allow it.
Su Xuening took a deep breath and got into the carriage.
What must be faced will eventually be faced; no one can escape it!
A troop of imperial guards led Su Xuening into the palace.
Upon arriving at the Second Palace Gate, Su Xuening alighted from the carriage and was immediately taken away by two Imperial Guards.
After walking for quite a while, Su Xuening finally realized something was wrong: "This is not the way to Chengqian Palace and the Imperial Study at all. Didn't you say that the Emperor wanted to see me? Where are you taking me?"
She initially thought it was Xuanyuan Yu who wanted to see her, but this wasn't the way to Jingfeng Palace. Moreover, the road was getting further and further off-center; she had seen several palace maids and eunuchs on the way, but now there wasn't a soul in sight.
"Just go when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense!" Seeing that she wouldn't leave, the Imperial Guard pushed her twice rudely: "We're almost there, what are you talking about!"
Pushed and shoved by the Imperial Guards, Su Xuening finally arrived at her destination.
Looking at the plaque covered in cobwebs, Su Xuening's face turned deathly pale.
The Cold Palace!
Her nightmare from her past life!!!
They actually brought her to the Cold Palace?
Why?
Is this what Xuanyuan Yu meant?
But why did he make them bring her to the Cold Palace again? Did he want to imprison her in the Cold Palace for the rest of her life, just like in the previous life?
