In the dark prison cell, even the air was dark, making people feel very depressed.
A woman was squatting in the corner. Her bright red wedding dress was incompatible with the dilapidated prison cell. She buried her head in her arms and raised her head slowly when she heard footsteps.
Mu Yunlan stood at the door and looked at her. Her face was pale and her lips were trembling." Why did you admit it? If you refuse to admit it, Father can't do anything about it.”
Xu Ling 'er slowly stood up from the ground and walked over to him. She gently stroked his cheek.
"You've done so much for me this year. If the emperor knew. You will also be in danger."
Mu Yunlan was furious and grabbed her hand." I don't care! I don't care what Imperial Father thinks of me or how he treats me. All I know is that I don't want you to stay here any longer.”
Xu Ling 'er's eyelashes trembled as tears fell." Silly girl, I'm fine." You can't break into the prison this time, understand?”
Mu Yunlan stubbornly turned away.
"The reason why I admit it is not only to protect you, but also to protect the entire family of the Left Prime Minister. Do you know what will happen if everything is exposed? They will be implicated because of me. Could it be that the blood shed by Sunset Clouds was not enough?”
Mu Yunlan was slightly moved. She slowly turned around and gently wiped her tears.
"This is supposed to be our wedding night.”
Xu Ling 'er smiled helplessly. When she was taken away by the soldiers, everyone's eyes fell on her. Only the groom was left at that wedding.
"I'm sorry…"
"It's not your fault. I didn't expect to be exposed. There must be someone behind that person. Believe me. I'll definitely investigate it thoroughly. I've already informed the prison. They won't make things difficult for you." Mu Yunlan said as she gently rubbed her cheek with her fingers.
"I've implicated you." Xu Ling 'er held his hand as she spoke. She turned to look at the long passage." I want to drink. Can you ask the jailer for two glasses of wine?"”
Mu Yunlan nodded. When she returned, she had two glasses of wine in her hands.
Xu Ling 'er looked at her own reflection in the cup. It was a face that she had been familiar with for almost two years, but it still looked so unfamiliar.
She slowly raised her head and stretched her hand out of the cell.
"On the wedding night, we have to drink wine.”
Mu Yunlan felt a pain in her heart. She moved her hand around hers and finished the wine in her glass.
It was obviously something worth being happy about, but now, that glass of sake was like a knife cutting his throat, making it difficult for him to swallow.
Xu Ling 'er smiled." After drinking this cup of wine, I'll be your wife." As long as I'm alive, you can't let me down…If I die, find a good girl and marry her, then govern the world well…"
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. Her sparkling eyes slowly slid down her cheeks.
The pain in his heart once again engulfed his entire body. They were so close to being together.
"I won't let you down." Mu Yunlan grabbed Xu Ling 'er's hand and said firmly,""I will definitely be by your side. Wait for me, I will save you.”
Xu Ling 'er smiled." Don't do anything stupid."”
"Okay." Mu Yunlan responded and pressed her forehead against hers.
Xu Ling 'er suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security. His heart gradually calmed down.
Once again, her life in prison became Xu Ling 'er's everything. Other than the jailer who brought her food every day, Xu Ling' er never saw anyone else.
Every day, Xu Ling 'er would draw a stroke on the wall. It meant that the day had passed.
Counting the days, today was New Year's Eve.
Their wedding was supposed to be held at the end of the year. So many days had passed since then. She did not expect to spend her New Year's Eve in such a cold place.
Because it was New Year's Eve, the food given by the jailer was much better.
Xu Ling 'er ate the food that the jailer had brought over, and her eyes slowly fell. She thought Mu Yunlan would come, but he didn't.
She waited for an entire night, but he did not come.
Time slowly passed.
The first month passed.
She had been in prison for a month.
The food sent by the jailer was getting worse and worse. Sometimes, there was only one mouthful.
Ever since that day, Xu Ling 'er had never seen Mu Yunlan again.
The jailers in the prison said that he was busy governing the world. Now that the Emperor's health was very poor, all the government affairs were on his shoulders.
There were also people who said that the Emperor would not live long. Mu Yunlan was about to ascend the throne.
Xu Ling 'er lowered her eyes. She had waited for a very, very long time. In her dreams, Mu Yunlan would always run towards her with a smile and say," Yunge, come, I'll bring you out."”
However, when she opened her eyes, she realized that it was just a dream.
The jailer's footsteps interrupted her thoughts. The jailer stopped at the door of her cell and looked down at her with a smile."This woman is really capable. It's really completely different from before."
"Alright, you dare to say that to the Crown Prince's people?”
"What Crown Prince's woman? Don't you know that the Crown Prince has a new lover?”The jailer squatted at the old door and looked at Xu Ling 'er." Aiyo, look at her. She's so shocked." Do you think that His Highness the Crown Prince will come back to save you?”
Xu Ling 'er was shocked." What do you mean?”
"Now the entire world will belong to His Highness the Crown Prince. Would he still care about you? Why don't you follow me?"
Another jailer tugged at him." Come on, you're really crazy about women. Don't you know that the outside world says that she's a femme fatale? If you're not afraid of death, go in.”
"Forget it, forget it. I'd better go look for my Miss Xiao Cui, lest I get involved with this woman's bad luck.”
Xu Ling 'er's body trembled violently as she slowly slid down the wall.
Disrupting the country and the people?
She smiled bitterly. She was the one that everyone wanted to have before, so how did she become the one that brought disaster to the country and the people now?
And Mu Yunlan…
Did they just say…that he had a new lover?
Impossible, impossible!
Xu Ling 'er shook her head desperately. However, once this thought was planted in her heart, it began to grow wildly. She couldn't suppress it no matter what.
She hugged her head tightly." He said…he wouldn't betray me…"
She buried her head in her arms.
Mu Yunqi's betrayal suddenly surfaced in her mind. In a trance, she seemed to see a woman holding Mu Yunlan's hand and slowly walking towards her. She smiled faintly and squatted in front of her.
"Thank you so much. Ling Yunge. You helped His Highness to ascend to the position of Supreme. It's a pity that I'm the one who will be by his side in the future, not you. You're just an abandoned pawn. I'm just making the best use of it." Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:52AM
