Chapter 257
The dim candlelight of a lantern is also a bright light source in this dark cell. As the other party approaches, the light becomes stronger and stronger. Chu Junlan's eyes are used to darkness and can't help but squint, raise his hand to cover it, and the shackles make a crisp "cry".
"Miss Three!"
Jing Yu put down the lantern, threw herself into the cage, holding the wooden fence in both hands, and when she saw the environment in the cell, her eyes turned red.
Is this the environment where people live? The filthy bucket in the corner is everywhere, Chu Junlan is sitting on a pile of dirty and moldy straw, and a huge mouse is passing by on the ground. The prince is treating someone as a treasure, but now he is thrown into such an environment! If the prince sees it, he is afraid that he will collapse with heartache?
"Jing Yu? Why are you?" Chu Junlan stood up and walked slowly to Jing Yu.
"Miss 3, you just had an accident here. The prince was ordered by the emperor to call him to the palace. Before leaving the door, he ordered the young man to investigate. Who knew that I had just found a clue and someone came to the palace to pack up the clothes and common things for the prince, saying that the emperor kept the prince in the palace and accompanied the princes to study, and was not allowed to come out."
Jing Yu's voice was fast and fast, bringing a buzzing echo in the cell.
Chu Junlan lowered his long eyelashes, and after a moment of contemplation, he understood.
"Does Ge Ge have such great ability? He can put pressure on the emperor."
Jing Yu was stunned for a moment, then said with admiration in his eyes: "Miss 3, you are too awesome. I haven't said what happened yet, how did you know?"
"It's very simple. The emperor asked the prince to come to the palace to accompany the prince to study. He obviously did not want him to participate in this matter. The emperor's attitude probably represents the attitude of the royal family. If the emperor can make the emperor express his opinion, Ge Ge must have done something."
"You are really a woman Zhuge, right? Ge Ge's shameless old man took his whole family to the palace to cry to the emperor, causing trouble in the palace, and said that if the emperor did not make the decision, he would hit him to death under the imperial stairs.
"The most important thing is that he didn't know when he was doing something, and he spread the matter outside. Now the public opinion outside is very unfavorable to you. Many people who are unknown are affected by rumors. You are the female devil who kills people, and you also say that women are jealous of you..."
Jing Yu's speech stopped abruptly, and he coughed and said, "Not to mention outside, there are people in the harem talking nonsense at this moment. The impact of this incident is really great. The emperor may be worried that people would say that he was protecting his future niece-in-law, so he had to instruct Shuntian Mansion to deal with it impartially. Ge Ge's elder was willing to give up when he saw the emperor's attitude and took his family back to the house to set up a mourning hall."
After saying so much in one breath, Jing Yu became more and more worried: "Miss. Third Miss, since the emperor has ordered Shuntian Mansion, they will definitely obey the case. You must be prepared to go to court. What was the situation at that time? How do you answer the most favorable to you? You must consider all of these in advance."
Chu Junlan nodded, his face still very calm.
Jing Yu said with a bitter face: "You are so calm. Are you still worried now?"
"What's the use of worrying?" Chu Junlan smiled, the coldness in his eyes and the sarcasm on his lips were not concealed at all.
"Since Mr. Ge is willing to make trouble at home, he can still tell the truth that the emperor will not interfere. He must have produced a definite evidence, which made the emperor conclude that I killed Ge Shuyu."
"Yes, the prince said the same thing. He specially found a way to convey the news and asked me to tell you quickly. The Gege family has brought out evidence to convince the emperor. And the Shuntian Mansion may have been ordered by Gege. By then, you may not be able to defend yourself. The Ge family has made up their minds to kill you."
Jing Yu grabbed a handful of hair in confusion: "What should I do? At such a critical moment, the prince of Piansheng was still under house arrest. If the prince was there, even if the prison robbed you, you would be rescued."
Chu Junlan was amused by Jing Yu and laughed: "I'll get robbed of prison and be a fugitive with me for the rest of my life. Can I wander around the world?"
"If I can wander around the world with you, the prince will be happy!" Jing Yu took the opportunity to confess to Xiao Xu: "In our prince's heart, you are more important than anything else. You have not seen the prince's anxiety today. Maybe he was under house arrest in the palace and was as anxious as an ant on the hot pan."
What would Xiao Xu look like like an ant on a hot pan?
Chu Junlan thought of Xiao Xu's anxious look in his mind, and his smile couldn't help but soften.
"It's time for you to go back." Chu Junlan said, "It's not good for you to stay for a long time."
Jing Yu nodded, bent down and picked up the lantern, "Miss 3, I'll leave this lantern for you. If there is a bright person, I can feel a little more comfortable in my heart."
Chu Junlan nodded slightly, and Jing Yu inserted the lantern into the cage and then bowed deeply.
"Miss Three, you must be careful. Ge Ge made up his mind to take your life as soon as you answer. You must be careful."
"I understand. Go ahead." Chu Junlan waved his hand at Jing Yu with a smile.
Jing Yu looked at the cell again and felt very uncomfortable. He had no choice but to have no choice but to even the prince was under house arrest. What can he do if he is a servant?
Jing Yu turned around and left in one step. After the door closed with a bang, the silence in the prison returned to silence.
Chu Junlan returned to his original place to continue meditating, but he could no longer feel at ease.
Xiao Xu was under house arrest, Ge Ge Lao made trouble again, using public opinion and perjury to let the emperor let go. So who else in the capital has the ability to break the alliance between Ge Ge Lao and Shuntian Mansion? The two sides united to want her life, so no matter what she said when she passed away, it seemed useless.
Thinking of this, Chu Junlan raised his eyes and looked around the environment of the prison.
The prison in Shuntian Prefecture has the hardest brick walls, which are twice as thick as ordinary walls. It is difficult to get out of the sky.
Chu Junlan is not a pessimistic person, but now she has realized the status quo and no longer has hope for going to court. If she really reaches the last step, she is likely to need to escape to save her life.
But she ran away, what should her family do?
Chu Junlan closed his eyes and felt a mess.
When the wax heads in the lantern burned out, the narrow bucket window gradually turned white. The cold air spread in the cell in the early morning, and a layer of water vapor appeared on the rock walls, and the prison became more and more cold and wet.
Chu Junlan was quietly waiting for Ge Ge Lao's next move. At first, he was still a little anxious, but now he calmed down completely. He was anxious and afraid that it would not be beneficial to the current situation. He just calmed down and faced it calmly.
At this moment, a "rattle" sound of iron chains came from the iron gate outside, and then the prisoner's attentive voice was: "Sir, please ask inside. The prisoner is inside."
Then a scattered sound of footsteps came over.
Chu Junlan listened to the footsteps and concluded that there should be seven or eight people coming, all of whom were tall, long and wide, young and middle-aged men.
