I was surrounded by dark walls and dark green moss. I sat in the wet cell and suddenly felt an unprecedented fear. However, it was not related to this terrifying cage, but the cold heart.
As soon as he lifted his foot, he heard the clinking sound of the ankle cuffs. It was already the end of June, and the air was wet with water vapor, but it was unusually hot and stuffy.
I looked at the lotus-colored linen prison clothes on my body and suddenly felt that it was ridiculous.
"What are you laughing at? I'll cover your mouth if you laugh again!”A few soldiers were drinking around the table outside. One of them walked over impatiently and kicked the cell door, cursing fiercely. I glanced at him and sneered in my heart. Heh, this is a dog taking advantage of others. I suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in my hand. I raised my hand and saw a deep red mark on my wrist.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Tears covered my entire face without mercy. My nose was sore, but I didn't want to think about anything else.
That person, when I was hopeless, he stood up and lent me a thick shoulder. He would cry. He was the first man to cry for me, the first man to make my heart ache for him, the first man to say that he would be with me for the rest of my life, the first man to be willing to give myself to him without reservation. Why can't he see me anymore, can't he see my shattered heart? Why? What was going on?
Although her tears were unrestrained, there was no hand to comfort her. Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps. I didn't look at it because everything was no longer important.
The sound of the soldiers kowtowing could be heard." Consort De Niangniang, Rong Hua is auspicious.”
"Mhm, all of you can leave. I want to talk to Ge Ge personally.”"Yes."
After the soldiers left, the prison cell suddenly fell into dead silence. Consort De was probably laughing at me, but she did not hear any movement for a long time. I slightly glanced over and saw Consort De staring at me. Her expression was complicated, but it was hard to decipher. Yue Ronghua was beside her, but her face was filled with fear and her body was trembling.
I turned my head and stopped looking at them, because I knew that what was going to happen next was nothing more than a show of schadenfreude.
"Consort Jing Shu is dead." Consort De coldly said to me. I was startled, but I still didn't turn my head. My eyes stared straight at the squirming thing on the ground.
"He was poisoned to death." Consort De continued to speak coldly. She paused, and her tone seemed to carry a smile." The Seven Days Deadly Powder was poisoned by Lanxuan.”Seeing that I didn't react, Consort De suddenly laughed out loud." Hehe, Ge Ge is really 'unperturbed.' Or are you hoping that your precious Ling Ye will come and save you? Hehe, stop dreaming. Actually, he already knew about it long ago. He was just pretending. You're the only one who's still so silly. Haha, what a pitiful child.”
Consort De's tone was filled with ridicule, like a piercing needle, constantly provoking me deeply and shallowly.
"Get out, get out." I suddenly stood up and walked in front of Consort De. I spoke to her through the bars of the cage, but my tone was neither servile nor overbearing. Even if he died, he would die with dignity.
Consort De looked at me and suddenly, her eyes were filled with sorrow." Do you think that you can expose Consort Jing just because you know she is faking her pregnancy? So what if she is using monkshood powder? It was the Old Empress Dowager who deliberately ordered Consort Jing to do that because Consort Jing is indeed pregnant. However, in order to lure you into believing that Consort Jing is faking her pregnancy, she smeared so much monkshood powder on her. Can the child in her stomach still be preserved? The empress dowager gave the medicine to Lan Xuan. She said it was abortion medicine, but it was actually the Seven Days Deadly Powder. Hehe, but Consort Jing that stupid woman actually didn't know anything and was killed just like that, hehe…"
Consort De's smile was so creepy that it made one's hair stand on end. Yue Ronghua, who was beside her, suddenly collapsed to the ground. Her body trembled as she muttered," It's actually like this, it's actually like this…"
My head felt like it was about to explode. My hands were holding onto the rough wood, but my body slid down without any strength.
Consort De looked at me with a cold smile on her lips." You'd better know what's good for you. Otherwise, you'll die even more miserably. We're all just chess pieces in the Empress Dowager's hands. BenGong likes you from the bottom of her heart, so I'm telling you this." I don't want you to die like Consort Jing.”
Consort De turned around and left after she finished speaking. Yue Ronghua also hurriedly stood up and jogged to catch up.
"Why?" I used all my strength and suddenly ran to the door of the cell. I stared at Consort De's back and asked.
"The emperor wanted to take you as his concubine." Consort De stopped but did not turn back.
I collapsed to the ground in despair. No wonder, when did this happen? Could it be that the Empress Dowager had already told Ling Ye, so he would be like this? Emperor, Emperor…I muttered, and my heart couldn't help but feel desolate.
I heard footsteps again. I smiled and said coldly," What are you guys doing here?”
"Of course I'm here to see my good sister.”I heard my sister's voice. When I turned around, I was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.
When Li Shang saw me, her face was already covered in tears. She walked forward and grabbed my hand through the wooden railing." Miss-"
I looked at my sister. She stood alone at the side, staring coldly at my tightly held hands with Li Shang.
"Sister, this is not a place you should be. You should all go back.”I let go of Li Shang's hand, my tone extremely desolate. Li Shang looked at me with tears in her eyes." Miss-"
"Hehe, does little sister not welcome big sister?”The elder sister suddenly spoke in a strange tone, as if her back had been hit by a cold gaze.
"No, it's not that. You shouldn't have come. We're not on the same path.”I didn't want to continue pestering him. I sat down on the wet wheat straw and lay down. My eyes were staring straight up without any focus.
"Hahaha-Li Shang! Open the door!" The elder sister suddenly said fiercely.
