Chapter 11

Lin Nanjie had just returned to the main room. He was so sleepy that he covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes and fell asleep, the quilt on him was lifted up by someone.

The cool air entered his body, and Lin Nan's brows wrinkled with coldness.

Who lifted his quilt?

Lin Nan opened his eyes dazedly and saw two people standing in front of him. They were both dressed in black, standing in front of his narrow bed, like two door gods with dark aura rising to the sky, looking at him coldly.

The left shoulder of the black clothes was embroidered with a glittering golden dragon. Lin Nan counted them roughly and found four claws.

Four claws are pythons, five claws are dragons, flying fish are pythons, and fish tails are forked. Who else in Daqi can wear flying fish patterns except Jinyiwei?

Lin Nanjie's sleepiness disappeared instantly and he woke up alert.

"Jinyi...!" Before Lin Nanjie could finish his horrified words, a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth, and he was dug out from under the quilt. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the Imperial Hell.

The cell was narrow and dark, with high walls on all sides. A thin ray of light shone through the tall and narrow window, through which bloodstains could be vaguely seen on the wall.

It was not like the prison cell I imagined, with prisoners shouting and screaming.

There was no sound here. When the people in the cells saw Lin Nanjie walking by, they just glanced at him indifferently and then turned away. Most of them didn't even raise their heads.

Those who could enter Zhao Ya had no hope of getting out.

Lin Nanqi was completely dumbfounded when he saw the prison that had never seen the light of day.

He was actually sent to prison?

Lin Nanjie was locked in one of the cells. He pulled out the rag stuffed in his mouth.

He shouted at the backs of the two Royal Guards, but his voice seemed to be swallowed by the darkness and there was no response.

Lin Nanjie found a place to sit down and thought hard.

Could it be that his identity as a fake eunuch has been discovered?

It shouldn't be like this.

He hid it very well.

Lin Nanjie thought about it, yawned, and fell asleep on the cold and damp bedding.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Lin Nanjie woke up slowly and it was time for dinner.

Grabbing the iron bars of the cell, he quickly stopped a guard and took a closer look, finding that it was one of the guards who had arrested him yesterday.

A closer look reveals that this Jinyiwei is still very young, with a baby-like face.

Lin Nanjie: "Brother, why did you arrest me?"

Jinyiwei said impatiently: "You have committed a crime."

Lin Nan wanted to get some more useful information, so he gritted his teeth, waved at him, and said in a low voice: "If you tell me that there is a silver ingot hidden in the broken boots under the bed in my room, it will all be yours."

The little Jinyiwei looked at him with contempt: "Your little bit of food is not even enough for me to fill my stomach."

Lin Nanjie's eyes widened. Is there anyone who despises money?

Little Jinyiwei wanted to leave, but took two steps and came back: "Actually, I'm quite curious, how did you get in?"

Lin Nanqi said unhappily, "How would I know if you didn't tell me?"

The little Jinyiwei asked in a mysterious way: "Do you know who the last eunuch who was imprisoned in your cell was?"

Lin Nan shook his head.

The young guard said mysteriously, "You must have heard of the great eunuch Feng Jinnian, who was a man of great power when the late emperor was alive. It's quite remarkable that a little eunuch like you can be sent to the imperial prison."

"Not everyone can enter this imperial prison. At least one must be a well-known official in the court."

"The fact that the emperor personally ordered you to be arrested and thrown into prison is a great honor for you, a little eunuch."

Lin Nanjie: …

Lin Nanjie said in a gloomy tone: "Is there anyone as boastful as you?"

The little Jinyiwei couldn't help but laughed twice.

Lin Nanqi fell into deep thought.

What the Jinyiwei said was right. The Imperial Prison was not a place that anyone could come to, and once you came, you would most likely not be able to get out. Lin Nanjie thought about what had happened in the past few days from beginning to end, and finally realized it.

He must know too much.

He said that the dog emperor's mind was not much smaller than the tip of a needle.

Lin Nanjie sighed deeply.

Seeing that Lin Nanjie hadn't said anything, the little Jinyiwei asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Nanqi looked gloomy and asked, "Do you want to eat some melon?"

Little Jinyiwei:? What melon?

After half an incense stick.

In the cell.

The little Jinyiwei, with shining eyes, huddled together with Lin Nan, and asked anxiously: "And then, what did Minister Liu say?"

Lin Nan muttered a few words in a low voice.

"Really? Minister Liu... is a pervert!" The little Jinyiwei's eyes lit up. You civil servants are the ones who know how to have fun!

As he spoke, Little Jinyiwei took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and said, "Eat them, eat them, and then continue talking."

Lin Nanjie modestly picked up a piece of melon seed candy and put it into her mouth. The sweet fragrance instantly spread across her taste buds, and the sweetness made Lin Nanjie narrow her eyes slightly.

"Hurry up and tell me." The little Jinyiwei urged.

Lin Nanqi cleared his throat and said, "Not only that, the imperial physician checked her pulse and found out that the beauty is pregnant!"

"It belongs to Liu Yuanji! It belongs to that old bastard Liu Shilang!"

"I've long disliked that old thing Minister Liu. He's always flattering me and he's even having an affair with my son's lover. Does he have any shame?"

"No wonder Minister Liu was investigated. It's a good investigation!"

"And more!"

"Minister Liu has been fooled! Awesome!"

"Fuck! The general has such a habit!"

"I'm in a hurry!"

You military attachés are playing so wildly!

As the two were talking animatedly, a guard in a red flying fish suit walked out of the cell with a stern face:

"Sinanhao! What are you doing there? There is an order from above to execute this little eunuch immediately!"

Both of them were shocked.

Lin Nan was shocked. He, he was going to die?

Si Nanhao frowned and couldn't help asking, "Do you have an imperial decree?"

The Jinyiwei in red flying fish uniforms seemed to have heard something funny: "How could a little eunuch persuade the emperor to issue an order in person?"

"Hurry up and execute him. Don't waste time dawdling."

Si Nanhao glanced at Lin Nanjie with some regret. He was not satisfied with listening to the gossip.

Lin Nanjie was put on the gallows, feeling somewhat sad. He had just come here not long ago, and he was going to die?

Can you go back after you die?

He didn't report for the job, so will he still be given the position?

Si Nanhao saw that he had no desire to live, and sighed: "Don't worry, considering our friendship just now, I will let you go quickly."

Lin Nanjie's face turned pale: "I don't want to die."

Si Nanhao looked at him sympathetically: "I can't help you either."

Lin Nanjie burst into tears immediately: "There is a jade pendant in my boots that I have worn since my mother's womb. Please bury it with me."

Si Nanhao was too embarrassed to say that those high-ranking officials who committed crimes had their bodies collected by others, while those who were unknown like him were taken to a mass grave and piled up on the spot. But for the sake of gossip, Si Nanhao still agreed: "I will."

On the other side, in the Zichen Palace.

After Li Chengqian dealt with a bunch of annoying memorials, he suddenly felt his ears were unusually quiet. In the past, his ears seemed to be busy all the time, always occupied by a nagging voice. It was as if that person could say everything in his mind.

It's really not easy for Miss Xu to stay out of trouble in a brothel for so many years.

Corrupt officials are so evil, they should all be killed!

Or maybe a white lion cat came into the garden, and it was pretty but it wouldn't let you touch it.

Even today's weather, what we had for breakfast, the chef's cooking was sloppy again.

Li Chengqian didn't know how his mind could hold so many irrelevant things.

When he suddenly calmed down, Li Chengqian felt it was too quiet.

He looked down and saw that Lin Nanjie always liked to stand between the brazier and the painting. There was a pot of orchid blocking the way, which made it convenient for him to laze around.

Right now, the place is empty, not a single person is there.

Li Chengqian called Wang Dehai over: "Where is Lin Nanli?"

Wang Dehai didn't know why the emperor brought it up again, so he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, that kid was taken away by the Imperial Guards yesterday. He should be in prison now. I guess..."

Wang Dehai didn't finish his words. He felt that Lin Nanjie should have lost his temper by now.

Imperial prison?

Li Chengqian paused with his pen.

"How long?"

Feng Dehai: "From last night till now, it should be seven or eight hours."

Li Chengqian couldn't stop feeling annoyed. How could he be sent to the Imperial Prison? What kind of place was the Imperial Prison? How could his weak body withstand it? Maybe now...

Li Chengqian suddenly shouted: "Wang Dehai! Go to the prison and bring him back!"

Wang Dehai was startled and was about to agree, but Li Chenghuan suddenly stood up.

"Too slow, I'll go myself!"

Lin Nanjie stretched his neck into the gallows. His fair and tender handsome head was placed on the terrifying and bloody gallows, like a handful of fresh snow in the mud. Even Si Nanhao felt a little bit sorry for him.

"Just bear with it, the pain will pass after a while."

Lin Nanqi suddenly took out his head again: "Brother, I haven't eaten anything for a whole day. Even if I die, I must die of fullness."

"Hey, stop nagging me. It doesn't matter whether you eat it or not. If you eat it, you might poop it out, and it will stink."

Lin Nanqi couldn't help but feel sad and calmed down again.

"I hope you'll be born into a good family in your next life!" Si Nanhao lifted the stool under Lin Nanjie's feet.

Lin Nanjie felt as if his feet were hanging in the air, and he was falling down. He tried to pull the rope apart with his hands, but it was no use. He felt the rope around his neck tightening, and it was difficult for him to breathe. His vision began to go dark.

[Oh my god! I’m going to die! ]

[My tongue seems to be sticking out. Can I trim it back when I bury it? A hanged ghost looks ugly!]

[You dog emperor, you take human life lightly. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go! ]

Just when Lin Nanjie felt that he was about to meet his great-grandmother, he suddenly heard a loud shout in his ear: "Stop it!"

Lin Nanjie: [What's that sound... Why does it sound so much like the Dog Emperor? ]

Then he felt his legs being held, and Wang Dehai's sharp and thin voice rang out anxiously: "What are you still standing there for! Didn't you hear the emperor say to stop?"

The stunned Si Nanhao stopped the execution and knelt down with a "thump" and said, "Your humble servant has seen the emperor!"

Lin Nanqie coughed loudly, and then met Li Chengqian's slightly guilty expression. He got up and knelt to thank Long En: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

[You dog emperor! Didn’t I just witness you being cuckolded and coveted by the general? Is it necessary to kill people to silence them? ]

[It is said that living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. The emperor is indeed the biggest psychopath in the world! ]
