Okay, you are noble and aloof, so let’s not touch the proud eldest princess, okay?
He held her hand, the redness in his eyes still lingering. "Let me ask you one more question: In the past two months, has the princess ever thought of me at all?"
A little, even just a little.
Shen Qianyue narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes: “No.”
At that moment, she noticed that Pei Yanche's grip on her hand suddenly tightened, as if he wanted to crush her bones, but he loosened his grip a little the next moment.
Bai Zhi was pinned to the ground, crying and begging, "Please, Your Majesty, don't arrest the princess. She hasn't had any appetite for the past two months. Has Your Majesty not noticed that she has lost a lot of weight?!"
Shen Qianyue: “…”
I should have shut this damn girl's mouth earlier.
It seemed that she had been indulging Bai Zhi too much in her daily life, and she told everything to others. She had been just taking care of the pregnancy for the past two months, and she was not very interested in the food of the human world.
"Really?" His tone was as cold as ever. "Then it seems that the princess has been thinking about another man for the past two months?"
Bai Zhi: “???”
Is there anything wrong with your mind, my lord?
Bai Zhi thought that she might have to spend the rest of her life in the Heavenly Prison. After all, the Heavenly Prison was a place that even dogs wouldn't go to. It was dark and damp, full of rats and reptiles, and it was dirty and cold.
However, when she saw the spacious and bright prison in front of her, her head was buzzing.
A fragrant wooden bed covered with a silk quilt, a spotlessly clean floor, an exquisite octagonal lamp, an ink-and-wash screen, and the best spring tea before the rain.
"Princess, is this really the Heavenly Prison?"
Bai Zhi was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. This wasn't like being in jail, it was clearly a place for enjoyment, right?
Not only that, there are also special people serving her, including five or six maids.
Shen Qianyue poured herself a cup of tea. Sun's throat was hurt by the slap just now. Her palm was still numb.
"This is naturally the Heavenly Prison, but he has transformed it."
It has been renovated to be spacious, bright, clean and exquisite, with luxury and elegance everywhere. It does not look like a prison, but rather like an elegant garden.
As if she was afraid that she would not sleep well, she laid several layers of fine soft silk quilts.
The prison was fully equipped with all the necessary supplies, and because they were afraid that she would be cold, they used the best red charcoal. After all, the prison was different from the outside, and it was still cold even in spring.
Especially at night.
"Princess, do you think the king is really reluctant to treat you so well?"
Shen Qianyue paused while drinking tea: "Do you know what it means to kill someone and destroy their heart? This is it."
Bai Zhike couldn’t understand, and it was right that she didn’t understand, because Shen Qianyue was fooling her anyway.
If her guess was correct, Pei Yanche must be looking for revenge on those who had bullied him in the past.
When they heard that Shen Qianyue was captured, they immediately panicked. They even dared to capture the princess, let alone people like them. Sure enough, in just one night, all those people died.
The only exception was the people in the imperial city, who were still safe and sound, without any harm.
He acted quickly, killing or dismissing everyone in the palace.
Pei Yanche did not kill the queen's family, but simply sent her back. When she was about to leave at the palace gate, the queen turned back.
She said to him, "I hope the king can be more kind to the princess. In fact, the princess is not as bad as people say."
At least in her eyes, the princess was beautiful and unique, and she had never seen a woman like her.
Pei Yanche looked at him from afar without answering.
The queen had no choice but to get on the carriage to go home, silently praying for Shen Qianyue in her heart.
I heard that she was imprisoned in the Sky Prison. As such a noble and proud princess, she couldn't even imagine how miserable her life would be after being imprisoned in the Sky Prison.
Wars are often cruel, but this time it was not the case. Heavy snow had blocked the mountains in many parts of Li Dynasty, and the people had no harvest. Many refugees gathered outside the imperial city.
Pei Yanche distributed all the food that came with the army, ordered people to help them build houses, and sent medical officers out to treat the refugees.
Every day, someone would deliberately tell Shen Qianyue about this news.
Pei Yanche seemed to be very busy and had not come to the Sky Prison for two days. It was only after hearing from the people inside that the eldest princess had a poor appetite and had been listless for two days that he hurriedly dropped the work in his hands and ran to the Sky Prison.
As the time was approaching, he slowed down his pace and breathing.
Just then, the maid brought her some nourishing soup and begged her to drink at least a sip, even if it was just to taste it.
"Princess, please just drink a sip. If you continue like this, the king will kill us servants."
"Yes, Princess, you're not eating or drinking, and the king isn't coming. Are you really going to starve yourself to death?"
Bai Zhi also followed suit to persuade him. After all, they grew up together, so Bai Zhi felt sorry for him.
Shen Qianyue lazily lay on her side on the armchair, her soft hands supporting her fair and smooth chin, and her face looked lifeless.
"He chopped off your heads. What does this have to do with me?"
She really portrayed her cold heart and cold nature to the fullest. If Pei Yanche wanted to kill her, he would have done so long ago.
"If she doesn't eat it, take it out and feed it to the dogs!"
A cold voice was heard, and then the man in tight black clothes appeared at the door. He glanced at the ginseng soup that was still emitting steam.
"She's just a prisoner. Who allowed you to feed her such delicious food?"
maid:"???"
Didn't Your Majesty order that the best century-old ginseng must be used to make soup for Her Royal Highness the Princess?
The maid was about to take the ginseng soup out and pour it to the dog, thinking it was a pity to waste such a gift, but she never expected that a hand stopped her and took the ginseng soup directly.
The maid tactfully left and took Bai Zhi away with her.
Bai Zhi was afraid that he would do something to her princess. Everyone around her started to talk: "Why don't you leave? Do you really think that bowl of ginseng soup was brought here by servants? Or was it sent by the king?"
Baizhi understood immediately and followed them obediently.
She was lazy, and her face looked even more lazy, as if she had no interest in anyone.
"Drink it!"
He brought the ginseng soup to her with an unfriendly and coercive tone.
Shen Qianyue glanced at him and said, “The body is very soft. The king’s tone is so aggressive that it scared this princess.”
“…”
He almost gritted his teeth, sat down patiently, and fed her with a spoon: "Drink."
"It's not good for the king to feed a prisoner like this, right?"
The spoon in his hand was almost crushed by him, so he simply drank a sip himself. He pinched her chin, and the moment his soft lips touched her, a familiar feeling came over him.
“Hmm!”
The thick and smooth soup was transferred into her mouth, leaving her lips stained with a hint of moisture, making them look moist and attractive.
