Chapter 99 Oh? Where did you press it?
However, there were many people around and Ji Xiaohan was "unconscious", so Su Wanyan didn't want to ask too much. She just pretended that she didn't notice and quietly ate the roast duck that Rong Mama, Shaoyao and the other two had bought earlier.
During the journey, Su Wanyan's meals and snacks were either candied fruits and pastries, or various game and local specialties. She never ate any hard steamed buns or water.
The two female families traveling with us were almost envious to death.
The families of Shen Xinhou and Liu Hongcai were imprisoned not far away. They were only assigned to small cells. The place was small and crowded, and there were many dark and damp corners, with rats and ants running rampant. Some of the female relatives were so scared that they started crying.
The rats in this dungeon are not afraid of people at all. They are all fat and strong, and their pairs of cunning eyes stare at people, which is really creepy.
The prisoners here were thrown in covered in blood after being tortured, and the rats would then come out rampantly and surround the prisoners' wounds to suck the fluids.
Regardless of whether you are infected or not, just thinking about such a scene is enough to make people shudder.
Prisoners in ancient times had no human rights. Those who could be imprisoned here were not rich people. The jailers could not make much money, so how could they provide you with a clean and hygienic environment?
"Ah... Another one!"
“Wow…Help!”
For a moment, the dungeon was filled with the screams and cries of women. The jailers heard the noise and rushed over with iron rods, knocking on the cell door. They looked at the jailers coldly, "What are you arguing about! What are you arguing about! You should be happy to have rats in the dungeon to keep you company."
The jailers were so ferocious that the women were too frightened to cry. The two family members knew they could not move, and the weak scholar did not dare to shout at the jailers.
Su Wanyan sat on the clean little stool prepared by Xiaowu, watching the farce over there with interest.
I don’t know if Shen Xinhou and his family regret having come to this point.
Was it worth it to choose to side with the prince for the sake of power and profit, and to gamble the lives of the entire family to cut off Ji Xiaohan's path to exile?
Perhaps the Chen Xinhou family in the previous life were worth it, because even if they did not kill Ji Xiaohan directly, at least the original owner, Princess Xiao, was killed by them, which could be regarded as an explanation to the imperial city.
I don't know if Shen Xinhou's family got what they wanted in their previous life, but later Ji Xiaohan became the emperor. I think with Ji Xiaohan's thoughtful personality, if he found out that Shen Xinhou's family was on the Queen's side, he would not use them too much, right?
Su Wanyan was holding her chin and thinking about something when she suddenly noticed that she and Bo Yu, the jailer in charge, made eye contact for a second. It was a very short time, but Su Wanyan smelled some unknown conspiracy.
It seemed that the closer they got to Quanzhou, the more Su Wanyan felt that Ji Xiaohan had already arranged everything. Along the way, they did not encounter any assassination attempts as described in the book, where Ji Xiaohan's men would be killed. Up to now, only a few of Ji Xiaohan's guards had suffered minor injuries, and there were also many secret guards.
Su Wanyan could imagine that after Ji Xiaohan brought these people to Quanzhou, with his identity as King Xiao and the 100,000 soldiers in his hands, if he wanted to make a comeback, wouldn't it just be a matter of King Xiao's thoughts?
I wonder if the dog emperor sitting high on the dragon throne in the palace can really feel at ease and rest assured?
"Princess, you've been tired all day. Xiaowu will help you get some rest."
After the small cell quieted down, Xiao Wu smiled and took out a piece of black cloth that served as a screen, blocking the space between her and Ji Xiaohan. They couldn't see outside, and people outside couldn't see them inside.
It was quite clever. This trick not only gave her and Ji Xiaohan some independent space at the right time, but also effectively allowed them to avoid other people's attention, killing two birds with one stone. As long as the jailer didn't check the number of people at night, no one would know whether she and Ji Xiaohan were there.
Su Wanyan saw through Xiaowu's intention and stood up obediently, letting her serve her until she went to sleep. She even turned over on purpose, causing the grass under the mattress to rustle.
As a "comatose patient", Ji Xiaohan should not move around, but Su Wanyan was petite, and the rustling sound could not be heard. In the end, Ji Xiaohan helped her roll around on the bed to create a realistic illusion.
Su Wanyan's body stiffened, her eyes wandering as she looked at the handsome face of the man hovering above her head. Finally, she glared at him and was the first to give in. "...Ji Xiaohan, you've got me."
The two people were so close that they could clearly count each other's eyelashes. Su Wanyan couldn't stand such a beauty attack and her face turned red and her heart began to beat fast.
Ji Xiaohan placed his hands on either side of Su Wanyan's head, admiring his little princess's obedient and shy appearance with great interest, "Oh? Where did you press it?"
