Chapter 723 Sent to the Dungeon
"Go back and tell the princess not to worry too much."
In the dark cell, Xiao Lanyuan was sitting on a pile of straw with his eyes closed, and his voice sounded extremely calm.
"My Lord, the princess will definitely ask about the situation in the prison. If the princess knew that the emperor had locked you up in such a damp and dark dungeon -"
The princess must be worried to death?
The secret guard looked around the prison.
They originally thought that the emperor would have the prince sent to the drier and cleaner cells up there. Some of the cells up there at least had a bed, and were relatively clean, with small windows that let in light, making them brighter during the day.
I didn't expect that the emperor would directly take the person into the darkest dungeon.
This dungeon used to be used to hold murderous criminals. It had no windows, no light, was dug underground, and was very dark and damp.
There was no bed here, just a pile of straw in the corner. Moss had grown in the corners because of the dampness, and the smell in there was very unpleasant.
Being locked up here, I don’t know whether it’s day or night.
If the prince had had his previous physical condition, he would probably have fallen ill after staying in such a dungeon for a night.
Although the prince’s health has improved a lot now, he absolutely cannot stay in a place like this for two months. Wouldn’t that be the end of his life?
"How can the Emperor——"
"He has indeed improved." Xiao Lanyuan chuckled.
The emperor has tolerated him for so many years, and he is very tolerant. Can he no longer hold back now?
"Why does the prince want Princess Nanci to marry into the An Mansion?" The secret guard was a little confused.
Doesn't this give the emperor a reason to punish you?
"This crime is much better than deceiving the emperor."
Xiao Lanyuan sighed lightly. The fact that he went to Dahe secretly must be a thorn in the emperor's heart. The emperor would keep guessing why he went to Dahe. If he just said that he went for Fu Zhaoning, the emperor would never believe it.
That kind of person wouldn't believe that one can travel thousands of miles regardless of everything just because they miss someone.
If there were no other charges to divert the case, the emperor would have to keep using the word "deceiving the emperor" to punish him.
I'm afraid that he will try every possible means to dig up related facts in order to prove his crime of deceiving the emperor.
It would be better to find a crime for him directly to paralyze and divert the emperor's attention and disrupt his thinking.
Besides, for this crime, wouldn't he only be imprisoned for a certain period of time?
If it really is a crime of deceiving the emperor, then it would be more than just that.
"This is the first time he has thrown me into jail, so he feels somewhat satisfied. He is so proud and excited thinking that he can bully me once, so he won't delve into other things or think too much about them."
Xiao Lanyuan thought about how proud the emperor must be at this moment and chuckled.
"Let him be proud for a while. Tell everyone below to speed up and finish the task at hand. I don't need to pay attention to him."
"yes."
Xiao Lanyuan thought for a moment, then said, "Bring me some paper and pen. I need to write a letter to the princess."
It’s not good to let Zhaoning worry.
He thought that the emperor would not be able to resist and would take action, but he did not expect that the emperor had grown up this time and dared to throw him directly into jail.
Therefore, he had not made it clear with Zhaoning in advance.
What if Zhao Ning gets angry because of this?
Xiao Lanyuan sat up straight. He was not panicked in the hall before, but why did he panic when he thought of this?
Fu Zhaoning soon received the letter from Xiao Lanyuan.
A page of paper, filled with writing.
She looked at the secret guard who delivered the letter and raised her eyebrows.
Just now she was asking Qingyi to explore the environment of the prison. As soon as Qingyi left, the letter arrived. What does this mean?
"Your Lord has already made arrangements?"
When the secret guard heard her ask this, his heart skipped a beat. Why did he feel uneasy when the princess asked him this?
"The prince has arranged for someone to be in the prison a few days ago. However, the prince is expected to be imprisoned in a few days, and the cell is in another one—"
Fu Zhaoning smiled.
"So there is an arrangement? So, isn't he in the assigned cell now?"
Xiao Lanyuan was a very unreasonable man. He had already expected that the emperor would put him in jail and had made arrangements, but he didn't even tell her a word!
Did he ever think that she would be very worried about him?
Believe her, she's not in a hurry to read it, she wants to ask first!
The secret guard lowered his head, "Yes, the prince was taken to the dungeon--"
"What does the dungeon look like?"
“Still okay?”
"Hehe." Fu Zhaoning sneered.
The secret guard became even more panicked. The prince had instructed him not to tell the princess about what happened in the prison, but now the princess had made it clear that she wanted to know clearly. How could he not tell her?
"You don't have to tell me." Fu Zhaoning said lightly, "I can go and see for myself. You know, right? It's not that difficult for me to sneak into the prison. If it doesn't work once, I can try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, I can go out every night. I'll try a few more times and I'll succeed."
The secret guards' faces changed.
How could a princess go to a place like a dungeon?
I have to go at night, which would be so tiring and troublesome.
"I'm telling you, that dungeon is not a place for humans to stay—"
Fu Zhaoning asked his men to leave only after listening to the secret guard's description.
Only then did she begin to read the letter written by Xiao Lanyuan.
The first thing to say is an apology.
"Ningning, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you in advance what arrangements I made after returning to the capital, nor did I tell you all my speculations and expectations about the emperor. Now that I'm locked up in prison, I think you're worried."
The next step was to make it clear to her that it would be beneficial for him to stay in jail for a while, but she would have to support him outside. I was sorry again.
Then he asked her to take out the medical records of the Great Medical Association's miracle doctors and just act proudly, not to worry or be afraid, as he had arranged enough secret guards around her.
Also, she should not go to places like prison.
"Hmph." Fu Zhaoning read the letter and threw it into the pharmacy.
He even wanted to deliberately ignore the fact that he was moved to a different dungeon.
Although the poison in his body had been cleared and his internal strength had increased, it would still be difficult to stay in a dungeon like that for two months.
He was supposed to take good care of his body, but after living in the dungeon for two months, all the supplements he had taken before must have been in vain.
Was her medicine meant to be wasted like this?
How could this be possible?
"Princess, Yun Shu and the others are back again!"
Hong Zhuo came in hurriedly and said.
Before, Eleven and Thirteen and the others followed the prince's orders and had people pack up the belongings of Yun Shu and the other two, and directly drove them out of the palace, telling them to either go back on their own or wait outside for their original master to come and pick them up.
Now those people came in again.
"Is it an order from the palace?" Fu Zhaoning's mind turned and he understood.
That’s right, Xiao Lanyuan has been thrown into jail, and the emperor will definitely take the opportunity to make things more difficult for them.
"Princess, the palace has issued an order..." The housekeeper also came hurriedly, "Princess, please go to the front hall to receive the order."
