"Go in and stop dawdling!”Situ Manyao was rudely brought into the imperial prison by the jailer. Assassinating the emperor was no small matter. If it was light, he would be executed, but if it was serious, his entire family would be implicated!
Situ Mantiao was already injured, and she was even less energetic now. The jailer threw her into the pile of straw in the cell and left.
Situ Mantian endured the pain in her body and wished she could kill Chu Yixuan.
There was clearly no evidence, but she actually pushed the blame onto herself.
Situ Mantian's consciousness drifted away, and she lay there, not daring to move.
She couldn't open her eyes. She only felt extremely exhausted, but she didn't faint. It was as if she was slowly being tortured to death.
Thinking about it carefully, there was something fishy about this matter. Chu Yixuan did not ask her any questions and pushed all the blame on her.
Could it be intentional?
Thinking of this, Situ Manyao could not help but feel a chill in her heart. Could it be that the real mastermind was Chu Yixuan?
Since ancient times, there had been so many incidents of brothers killing each other in the Imperial Family. It was possible that Chu Yixuan was jealous of Chu Yijing's throne, so he deliberately sent people to kill Chu Yijing.
It was just that in the end, when the matter was exposed, he was thrown into the water?
Before Situ Manyao could finish thinking, he heard the door open. It seemed like someone was coming!
She opened her eyes in a daze, but she could not see anything clearly.
He could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Perhaps, he would really die under such circumstances!
She felt someone tugging at her clothes. Although the movement was very gentle, it still reminded her of what Chu Yixuan had done at the banquet.
She weakly placed her hand on her chest and refused to let go!
"Wangfei, the emperor has ordered this old minister to treat your injuries. You don't have to be nervous!”
She didn't know if Situ Manyao had heard her, but she didn't use as much strength as she did.
The imperial physician seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his body.
"Wangfei, this old minister will bandage your wound. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me.”
After saying that, he slowly unbuttoned Situ Mantian's clothes and stabbed his sword into his chest. If he stabbed too deeply, his life would be in danger.
She was holding the best injury medicine. The doctor carefully observed her wound and secretly rejoiced that the sword did not pierce too deeply. Otherwise, even if Hua Tuo was alive, it would be difficult to save her.
Situ Mantian's mouth was stuffed with a white cloth. The doctor was worried that she would bite her tongue when he applied the medicine.
"Oh…"
Her forehead was already covered in sweat. The imperial physician was already old, but it was his first time treating a patient in such a place. Naturally, he was more nervous than usual.
Perhaps the pain in her body was too unbearable, but Situ Mantian slowly woke up.
"What…what are you doing?"
She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the imperial physician squatting beside her. Her eyes were guarded, but she had no strength to resist.
"Wangfei, don't move around. I just finished applying medicine on you, don't open your wound again!”
The imperial physician glanced at her and stood up. He looked up and down at the surrounding environment and could not help but sigh.
With such a serious injury and being locked up in such a place, no matter how good the medicine was, it would probably be difficult to cure it!
Situ Mantiao looked at him and didn't say anything. No matter if he was helping her or harming her, she didn't have the strength to resist in this state.
"Young Master Ling Feng, what's wrong with my young miss?”
Ling Feng had just stepped into the courtyard of the east courtyard when Lian Xin came up to him.
The anxiety on her face showed how worried she was about Situ Manyao.
Ling Feng sighed softly in his heart. This master and servant depended on each other in the Imperial Residence, yet they had no status.
When they encountered something, they could only be anxious.
"Lian Xin, it's so cold, what are you doing standing outside?”
"Young Master Ling Feng, you should quickly tell me about my young miss!”
Lian Xin knew that Situ Manyao must have encountered some trouble. Otherwise, why would Chu Yixuan look so angry just now?
Ling Feng nodded. Seeing Lian Xin's pale face and frozen purple lips, he walked into the room.
Lian Xin had no other choice. She looked at Ling Feng's back and hurriedly followed him.
"Lingfeng Company, don't keep me in suspense. I haven't seen Miss for a day, and I feel very uneasy.”
Lian Xin was helpless. It seemed that her young miss's condition was very serious. Otherwise, young master Ling Feng would not have such an expression.
"It's very likely that your young lady bribed an assassin to assassinate the current Emperor. She's currently locked up in prison and her situation is not good.”
Walking into the room, Ling Feng glanced at the fallen leaves in the courtyard and felt a sense of desolation.
Suddenly, there was no sound from behind him. Ling Feng was slightly surprised. He turned around and saw Lian Xin standing there without making a sound. Her face was blank.
Ling Feng looked at her worriedly.
"Lianxin, are you alright?"
After Lian Xin heard Ling Feng's voice, she slowly came back to her senses. Her eyes were filled with emotions as she looked at Ling Feng in horror, her entire body trembling slightly.
"Young Master Ling Feng, did you make a mistake? My young miss…how could she commit regicide?”
She approached Ling Feng and reached out to grab his clothes, as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw in the sea.
Ling Feng naturally felt her nervousness and worry, and he frowned.
"Lian Xin, don't be anxious. The Emperor will naturally investigate this matter thoroughly. If it wasn't for your Young Miss 'instructions, the Emperor will definitely clear your Young Miss' name.”
Ling Feng looked at the agitated Lian Xin and secretly rejoiced that he didn't tell her about Situ Mantian's sword injury. Otherwise, she would definitely be even more agitated than she was now.
Lian Xin's eyes were already red, and she paused when she heard Ling Feng's words.
Her eyes were filled with hope as she looked at him."Young Master Ling Feng, is what you said true?”
How could Ling Feng know if the Emperor would really let Situ Manyao return safely?
He only said this to comfort Lian Xin so that she wouldn't be too sad.
As for Situ Manyao…
Ling Feng looked at Lian Xin, who was crying silently with her head lowered. He did not say anything, but his expression became even more solemn.
Just now, Xuan's attitude had already expressed that he would not interfere in this matter, but it was difficult for him to help. It seemed that the princess was in big trouble this time.
"Young Master Ling Feng, do you have any way to save my young miss?”
Although Lian Xin hadn't been in the residence for long, he knew that his highness had a good relationship with Ling Feng.
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly. If there was a way, he would naturally try his best to help.
"Then can you plead with His Highness and ask him to help Miss…"
She paused at the end. She was very clear about the concern of his highness and miss. Last time, his highness had found someone to frame miss for adultery. If it wasn't for young master Ling Feng's presence…
Lian Xin lowered her eyes, her eyes filled with disappointment.
If even Young Master Ling Feng was helpless, then how could he have the ability to save Miss?
Situ Mantian was lying on the stone bed in the Heaven Prison. Her body was so cold that there was no warmth on her body. Her face was pale, and her lips were slightly dry because she had not had water for a long time.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. The imperial prison was not big. There were walls on three sides. Only a small window shone in, telling her that it was daytime.
"Water…I want water!"
Her throat was extremely dry. When she spoke, her voice was hoarse, like the sound of rags being torn.
"Yo, you're finally awake. It seems doctor Zhang is really a miracle doctor. He just came in to give you some medicine and you woke up.”
A fierce-looking jailer outside the cell watched Situ Mantiao slowly sit up and looked at her calmly!
"Do you have water? I want to drink water…"
Situ Mantian couldn't care less about what he was saying. She only wished that she could sit down and drink some water to moisten her dry throat.
"Want some water?"
The jailer looked at Situ Mantiao, who was almost unable to move, with a half-mocking expression. He placed a big bowl filled with water at the door of the iron gate.
"If you want water, come and get it yourself. I don't serve prisoners!”
As long as one was locked up in this prison, it would be difficult for them to walk out of this place unscathed. There was no need for him to be a good old man and serve those who were going to die. Anyway, he would not be able to get any benefits.
"You…"
Situ Mantiao glared at her fiercely, but because she was seriously injured, her eyes did not carry any deterrence.
It seemed like a tiger that had fallen to the flat ground had been married to a dog.
If this was any other time, even if she was the princess consort that was not favored in the wang fu, who would not be respectful to her due to her status as a princess consort?
Situ Mantiao took a few deep breaths and glanced at the big bowl at the door. He narrowed his eyes and decided to crawl over.
Although the wounds on his body had been treated, he could not touch them easily. It would hurt if he touched them.
Situ Mantian looked down at the wound on her chest and remembered the old man she had seen in a daze. He must have helped her apply the medicine.
There was no need to apply medicine.
She curled her lips helplessly, full of bitterness. She recalled Chu Yixuan's testimony to her in front of Chu Yijing. He actually said that she was the mastermind behind the scenes. She was puzzled. What was her motive for doing this?
The cell wasn't big, so it wasn't far from the door. However, Situ Manyao was injured, so even if it was just a short distance, it was still a big challenge for her.
The man sat there without any intention of helping. Situ Mantiao gritted her teeth and moved forward step by step.
When he finally reached the cell door and was about to squat down to pick up the big bowl, the man swept his hand across it and the water in the bowl spilled all over the floor!
Situ Mantiao's pupils constricted as he looked at the bowl that was lying on the ground.
The hands that hung weakly by her legs clenched into fists.
"Go and pour me another cup!"
She slowly raised her head and ordered him without any emotion.
"What a joke! Who do you think you are to order me around!”
The man completely ignored her words and turned to leave.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
