In the cell, Gu Yanran was still dressed in white, sitting upright on a wooden stool. There was a low table in front of her, on which were placed some exquisite food, meals, and drinks.
This cell was different from other dark and damp cells. Not only was the floor clean and tidy, but there was also a small window at the top. At that time, the sun just happened to shine in and onto the smooth floor.
Gu Yanran herself was not tortured or abused like other prisoners. Apart from some slight wrinkles on her clothes, there were no other changes.
"Fairy, this is the peach blossom wine we brewed today, would you like to try it?"
At one side, a jailer bent over and handed over a wine jug with a fawning look on his face.
There was no other way. This fairy was a prominent figure in the capital. Young Marquis Chen, the daughters of the Shen family, and the daughters of the Song family had all been told to take good care of her. If this fairy suffered any grievances in prison, all of them who were on duty would be in big trouble.
Gu Yanran curled her lips lazily, reached out to take the wine cup, and took a sip, "Hmm, not bad."
How can this be called jail?
It is obvious that the lady is taking a rest here.
However, at this moment——
“Bang!”
The prison door was suddenly kicked open roughly, and then the prison boss rushed in with several ferocious-looking officers.
The chief jailer saw the jailer squatting in front of Gu Yanran like a dog, and he raised his hand and slapped him.
The jailer was knocked to the ground by a slap and knelt on the ground with his face covered.
"Sir! This is..."
"You bastard, this witch is a prisoner, how can she be treated like this?"
The jailer pushed him away and said sternly, "By order of the Minister of Justice, throw this witch into the death row and interrogate her strictly!"
Gu Yanran's expression suddenly changed, her eyes turned cold, "Stop! How dare you! This case has not been tried yet, how dare you use lynching on this fairy?"
The jailer grinned and said, "This evil woman is a disaster to the country and has deceived people. The evidence is irrefutable. Do you think those noble family members can protect you?"
He raised his hand suddenly, "Take it away!"
Two officers stepped forward, roughly lifted Gu Yanran's arms, and dragged her out of the cell.
As she did so, all the food and drinks that she had not had time to enjoy just now were spilled all over the floor.
Gu Yanran suddenly broke free from the officer's grip and used her luck and strength to resist. In an instant, a strong wind seemed to blow in from the corridor, making her robe rustle.
"You dare to touch this fairy?"
Several yamen runners were blown away and fell several meters behind him.
The jailer was horrified, he didn't expect that this evil woman actually knew internal energy. He quickly took off the gong from his body and struck it with a "clang".
"Someone come! This witch is trying to escape from prison!"
"Catch her!"
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor, and soon people came rushing in with swords and weapons.
Dozens of arrows were all aimed at Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran curled her bright red lips into a smile, and her figure floated back half a foot like willow catkins.
"A group of ants are worthy of blocking the way of this fairy?"
After saying this, she gathered strength in her fingertips and turned her hands into claws. As long as she stretched them forward, all the yamen runners would be killed on the spot.
However, at this moment——
“Whoosh!”
An arrow stained with talisman paper flew straight towards Gu Yanran's face.
Immediately afterwards, Li Linyuan walked in with a team of black-armored guards, with a half-smile on his face.
"You have the guts to do this in the prison of the Ministry of Justice!"
"It's you!?"
Gu Yanran dodged the oncoming arrow by leaning sideways, and instantly recognized Li Linyuan, her heart suddenly sinking.
Last time at Yujing Tower, this Mr. Li proposed to marry him with great fanfare, and he was only a little bit away from being caught. If Qin Yuan hadn't sent someone to rescue him later -
By the way, Qin Yuan!
How could she forget that she had finally escaped from the encirclement of the Great Chu and had been hiding in the Yujing Tower for several months just to get closer to the power center of the Great Qin.
If we start a massacre here at this moment, we will be wanted throughout the Qin Dynasty. By then, let alone getting close to Qin Yuan, it will be unknown whether we can leave the Qin Dynasty alive.
"What? You're not making trouble anymore?"
Li Linyuan saw that she had restrained her momentum, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, "Weren't you quite majestic just now?"
Gu Yanran straightened her clothes that were blown by the wind and kept her back straight.
"I didn't do anything, not because I was afraid of you, but because I didn't want to dirty my hands."
She glanced at the arrows still aimed at her.
"It's just a matter of changing places, what's the problem?"
Li Linyuan winked at the guards and waved his hand: "Take her to the death row."
The environment in the death row is much worse than that in ordinary cells. The air is polluted, and it is dark and damp, with rats and cockroaches crawling around from time to time.
When Gu Yanran stepped onto the floor of the cell, her stomach couldn't help but churn.
"I want to see Qin Yuan!"
She suddenly called Li Linyuan.
Li Linyuan paused, turned around and looked at her coldly: "What is the status of His Highness? Can you see him whenever you want?"
Gu Yanran raised her eyes and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Then you can bring a message for me - just say that an old friend from the Great Chu wants to see you. It's about... Chu Qingluan."
Li Linyuan's pupils shrank, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "What did you say?"
She stood up slowly and said, "Chu Qingluan had already disappeared before I left."
Li Linyuan stared at her intently, as if trying to determine whether it was true or not.
The fact that Qin Yuan liked the Princess of Da Chu was no secret in the upper circles of Da Qin.
He had tried to probe Qin Yuan before about the deeds of the Princess of Great Chu, but every time Qin Yuan's attitude was very secretive.
But there was one thing he was sure of, that was that the princess of Da Chu was indeed the one Qin Yuan held close to his heart. He would not allow anyone to say anything bad about her.
"Do you know the price of deceiving me?" Li Linyuan said in a cold tone.
Gu Yanran chuckled: "If I really wanted to play tricks, I wouldn't take the initiative to mention this name."
Li Linyuan was silent for a moment, and finally ordered the jailer to keep a good eye on her. He turned around and left to find Qin Yuan.
The cell door closed again, and Gu Yanran slowly sat back on the haystack in the corner, with a calculating look in her eyes.
"Qin Yuan..."
"You must come!"
