Chapter 20 Imprisoned in a Cell
"Your Highness..." Lin Ruzhen moaned, looking at Dongfang Yan with tears in her eyes.
Seeing this, his heart softened a little.
Dongfang Yan's life was saved by Lin Ruzhen. Even if she told a few lies, it could not erase the grace of saving his life.
"Zhen'er, don't be afraid. I promised to protect you for the rest of your life and I won't let anyone hurt you!"
The man who was gentle a moment ago, looked at Lin Qingyue with a gaze as cold as ice the next moment:
"Even if Zhen'er has told a few lies, she is still a jewel in the sky. She is not comparable to a vicious woman like you! Come here!"
The guards received the order and went forward to capture Lin Qingyue.
The tabby cat stepped forward to block the way and let out a low growl, "Dongfang Yan, you really can't tell good from evil! Get out of here!"
Unfortunately, no one could understand, and all they saw was a kitten overestimating its own capabilities.
Lin Qingyue found it extremely ironic that everyone in the Lin Mansion was indifferent, and only the cat was willing to stand up for her.
Dongfang Yan touched the cat claw marks on the back of his hand, and thinking of the previous conflict, he ordered coldly: "Come here, beat this beast to death for me first!"
"Go!" Lin Qingyue hurriedly shouted to the tabby cat.
The tabby cat felt very uncomfortable: If only he were still the crown prince, at least he could use his status and power to suppress Dongfang Yan and would not let Lin Qingyue be bullied again.
However, it was unable to protect itself at the moment, and staying would only be a burden. Before the guard's knife could chop it, it whooshed into the grass, jumped onto the eaves quickly, and disappeared into the night.
Several guards received orders from Dongfang Yan to capture Lin Qingyue.
Lin Qingyue said: "You don't have to do anything, I can go by myself!"
At this moment, she could feel that the obsession of the original owner remaining in her body was becoming weaker and weaker - even the original owner must have completely given up on him, right?
She suddenly raised her eyes and gave Dongfang Yan a cold look.
Very good! This will be the last time she gives in. There won't be a next time.
Dongfang Yan was inexplicably startled by her gaze, and an indescribable sadness arose in his heart. It was as if he had lost something important.
"Yue'er!" Zhou took two steps in pursuit, but was stopped by Lin Xiao. "This is her own fault! Sisters should work together and accomplish things together. Instead, she's killing each other."
"Mom, I'm sorry..." Lin Ruzhen came to pull Zhou with tears in her eyes.
But Zhou's heart had already turned cold, and she coldly brushed her hand away.
After Lin Qingyue returned to the palace, she was locked up in the dungeon.
A huge black iron lock fell, locking the door of the cell.
Dongfang Yan looked at her through the prison door. "Lin Qingyue, just stay in there and don't even think about escaping. This black iron chain is specifically designed to counter magic. I borrowed it from the palace especially for you."
Lin Qingyue sneered: "Is it for me? Isn't it for Lin Ruzhen that you put so much effort into it?"
But is that woman who is full of lies really worth it?
If one day you find out that she is a fake daughter who has impersonated you, will you still be so affectionate?
Or should he put aside class prejudices and be with her regardless of everything?
Dongfang Yan caught a glimpse of the sarcasm in Lin Qingyue's eyes and found it even more annoying.
This woman is so stubborn and hateful!
Why can't you just give in? Why are you always so aggressive?
He hated Lin Qingyue's current state, not just for Lin Ruzhen. He felt that all his tactics were like hitting cotton, powerless. It made him, the high and mighty prince, feel as if he had no control over this woman.
The more this happened, the more he couldn't help but want to rub her sharpness.
He just didn't believe that she could continue to be so stubborn!
"Lin Qingyue, since you are so capable, I think you won't die even if you starve for a few days. Just reflect on yourself here. When you realize your mistakes and stop harming others, I will let you go!"
After saying this, Dongfang Yan turned away.
Man is iron and food is steel. He doesn't believe that after being hungry for a few days, this woman can still be so arrogant and unruly!
Lin Qingyue tested the cold iron chain, and indeed, it was covered with a faint layer of restraining power. Her strength and magic fell on it like a drop in the ocean, unable to shake it at all.
"Lord Dog, I underestimated you."
Lin Qingyue gave up trying to unlock the cell and instead looked around.
The dungeon in the palace was dark and damp. There was a small window the size of a palm on the back wall, through which a little moonlight shone.
A normal person's body naturally cannot pass through that small window.
How about temporarily practicing bone shrinking skills? No, no, that kind of skills is too ugly, I won't practice it even if I die!
Just when Lin Qingyue was wondering if there was any other way, she suddenly heard a cat's meow coming from the small window.
Looking up, I saw a tabby cat coming out of the small window. Its big round eyes were like two small lanterns, shining brightly in the dark.
After seeing the situation inside clearly, the tabby cat jumped down: "Meow meow..." I finally found you!
The cat circled around Lin Qingyue's feet a few times, and only when it saw that she was not hurt did it stop and relax.
"Fortunately, you didn't force your way through him. There are over a thousand guards in Prince Guang's palace."
He is right.
Lin Qingyue's spiritual power is still very weak. The talismans she draws may seem powerful, but they are mainly used against demons and evil spirits.
If you were to fight against thousands of soldiers and horses with real weapons, relying solely on brute force would definitely not be enough.
That's why she didn't fight Dongfang Yan head-on just now.
Lin Qingyue said, "I thought you were gone, but I didn't expect you to come back. Are you afraid that if you leave me, no one will be able to help you restore your identity?"
The tabby cat said, "Whether or not you can help me regain my identity, I will help you. Firstly, you saved me, and secondly, I don't think you deserve to be treated this way by the King of Jin."
"You are his legal wife. Even if he used a spell, it was for a reason. Since he married you, he should give you the treatment and respect a princess deserves. He shouldn't confuse right and wrong for an outsider!"
Lin Qingyue smiled sweetly, "Rumors say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and benevolent, and it's true. Seeing that you've returned to see me today, if your body still exists in the future, I will definitely help you revive and restore your identity. But for now, I still have to find a way to get out of here first."
She sighed and pointed at the lock on the cell door. "I don't know which idiot designed this thing. I can't open it for the time being."
The tabby cat dodged a glance and said, "Sorry, it's me..."
Lin Qingyue: "...Haha, you do have some tricks up your sleeve."
The tabby cat quickly explained, "This was originally meant for those evil people who possess supernatural powers and commit crimes. I never thought Dongfang Yan would use it to lock you up."
"Fortunately, when I first designed it, I designed two ways to open it just in case. In addition to the key, you can also use a secret code to open it."
