Chapter 731 Are You Worthy?
The quilt was thrown in, shaking out a cloud of dust.
There is also a smell.
Yun Shu couldn't help but scream. "Is this a blanket for people?"
So dirty and smelly!
Shiru and Qiuyun also got two quilts, but when Shiru reached out to grab one, she heard a tearing sound, and the quilt was torn open, revealing the cotton inside, which was dirty and black!
She also threw it away.
"How many years has this quilt been used?"
It's dirty and torn! You can see that the cotton inside is all clumped up, so it's definitely not warm enough.
"Take it away, take it away. How can we build this? We need a new one." Qiuyun shouted with a pale face.
"We only have one bed here and it's not enough! No, we want a new one too. Even beggars don't even want this one!" Yun Shu was about to cry.
Although she was a concubine's daughter, King Qiong doted on her very much. In fact, apart from her reputation and the need to avoid Princess Qiong and others, she was also spoiled from childhood to adulthood.
Just look at her snow-white skin.
"Girls, stop making trouble. This is a prison, not an inn!" The jailer's face darkened.
The jail is full of prisoners. Would they wash quilts for them?
Of course, these quilts were used year after year and passed through the hands of many prisoners.
It is normal for some prisoners to cover themselves with cotton quilts and wipe their noses on them in the middle of the night.
"We'll pay for it ourselves!" Shiru looked at Fu Zhaoning and Xiao Lanyuan, and tried to hold on a little longer.
"Yes, yes, yes. We'll pay for it and you go buy a new quilt! Also, can you move the bed over here?"
"This is your request. We are not charging you any money. We are just buying it for you." The jailer came over and stretched out his hand.
Qiuyun and Shiru looked at each other and quickly took out the silver.
They each took five taels of silver.
"Ten taels in total, you can probably only buy three quilts, don't think about anything else." The jailer frowned, he didn't earn much.
Shiru gritted her teeth and took out another five taels of silver.
"Let's buy some more food, prepare some hot water, and buy a charcoal stove."
"We need beds. Bring them to us. How can we sleep in such a dirty haystack?"
The jailer put the silver into his arms and walked towards Yun Shu.
Yun Shu asked the maid to give ten taels directly.
"I also want a new quilt, a bed, a charcoal stove, hot water, and food."
Qiuyun and Shiru seemed like they really wanted to stay here. They wanted to make a good impression on Prince Jun and impress him, so she couldn't lose!
If they can really stay here with Prince Jun, he will definitely be very touched, right? He will also take them back to Prince Jun's mansion and treat them well, right?
Let’s do it!
Yun Shu rarely showed any fighting spirit.
"Wait."
The jailer took the silver and left.
On the other side, Fu Zhaoning listened to their words and smiled.
Let's see how long they can hold on.
"Lean on me and rest for a while." Xiao Lanyuan ate his food, pushed all the things aside, pulled Fu Zhaoning into his arms, and leaned against his chest.
He put his arm around her and held her hand in one hand.
"Ningning, don't worry, I won't let them stay in the palace."
If you can’t throw it out once, try twice.
There was no way he could allow these annoying women to hang around in front of them every day. Not to mention Zhao Ning, he himself was annoyed.
"The Emperor has told them to serve you. Aren't you tempted?"
"I have always liked quietness since I was a child."
Xiao Lanyuan was not lying, he always liked quietness, especially at home, and never liked crowds of people.
His yard and his study are basically not allowed to be entered by anyone except for necessary cleaning.
With so many women in the backyard, there will definitely be all kinds of struggles. Someone will come to him and make a noise every few days. How can there be peace and quiet?
Even if he had not met Fu Zhaoning, he would never have thought of marrying another wife, let alone now that he already had Fu Zhaoning.
Fu Zhaoning leaned in his arms and laughed.
"I will soon have a reason to throw them out. I'm not worried. But you have to be prepared. I will destroy any peach blossoms that come to you. Just don't be soft-hearted when the time comes."
"I will only be soft-hearted towards you."
Other women are nothing but trouble in his eyes.
"Just let me speak from now on, you don't have to do anything else."
"Why, are you afraid that my methods are too cruel?"
"I don't want others to only talk about you, saying that you are jealous." Xiao Lanyuan wanted to do it herself, just because she didn't want others to talk about her.
He didn't want to do it, she didn't force him to do it.
These are two different things.
Fu Zhaoning looked up at him and gently scratched his chin with his fingers.
“I don’t care what anyone says about me.”
Jealous is just jealous.
In fact, this is also true. She just can't tolerate another woman in the world of two people.
They leaned against each other and talked softly. Yun Shu, who was sitting next to them, couldn't hear or see clearly. She felt as if her heart was hanging in the balance and couldn't help pacing back and forth in the cell.
Qiuyun and Shiru, who were sitting diagonally opposite, could see it, but seeing them being so affectionate and close to each other in this prison, she felt like her heart was being gnawed.
Are they being completely ignored?
"Your Highness, what do you think of the Emperor's decree?" Qiu Yun couldn't help but speak.
Because they were across the aisle, she had to raise her voice.
Xiao Lanyuan didn't even raise his head, nor did he answer, as if he didn't hear her voice.
"Your Majesty, we will all serve you well, and we will never compete with the princess for your favor. We——"
"Are you worthy enough to compete with her for favor?" Xiao Lanyuan's voice was cold.
Qiuyun's face turned pale.
Xiao Lanyuan continued to speak softly to Fu Zhaoning.
The jailer quickly brought in new quilts and some food for them.
"Where's the charcoal stove? Where's the bed?" Yun Shu's face turned pale when she saw these shabby things.
"Stop it. How can you make charcoal in such a cramped cell? It's dangerous."
The jailer curled his lips and said, "There is no way there will be a bed. Where can we get one in a short time? Wait, I will bring you some clean straw."
Sure enough, someone brought in some hay and cleared out the dirty straw.
Yun Shu and the others couldn't believe it.
"that's all?"
A total of thirty-five taels of silver were used to get all these things?
Speaking of food, once you open the oil paper package, there are only a few dry snacks per person!
They said there was water, and someone brought in a teapot filled with cold water that had a slight earthy smell!
"Alright, alright, this is a prison, don't treat it like an inn!"
The jailer felt tired after finishing his work. What were they thinking about, busying them back and forth?
They have to wait for the prison boss to come back before they can know what to do with these people.
"Come back, come back!" Yun Shu shouted anxiously when she saw them running away.
A malicious laugh came from a cell not far away. "A beauty's screams can make people feel numb. Scream more. Scream."
