Chapter 19-Li Xian in Prison)
It was night.
All the gates in Daxing City had been closed. The gates of the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace had been closed.
A luxurious carriage quietly drove on the limestone road within the Imperial City.
Two white horses were pulling the carriage.
The one driving the carriage was Wen Hai, who was carrying a saber.
Around the carriage were more than a dozen Longyan Guards holding sabers.
Inside the carriage, a girl in a white coat had an antique food box beside her.
Waves of fragrance wafted out from the food box.
"Princess, there's so much good food. Can he eat it all by himself?”
In the carriage, besides Yang Qingwan, who was wearing a white coat, there was also a maid in a green dress. This woman was Yang Qingwan's personal maid. The two of them had a good relationship, so the maid dared to joke around.
"I heard from my mother that although he looks like a scholar, he is a general on the battlefield. Of course, generals have good health, so they eat more.”
Yang Qingwan said as she protected the food box with her hands.
"Hehe!"
Yang Qingwan's actions made the servant girl laugh.
She had already seen clearly what was wrong with their princess during the day.
There were so many nobles in Daxing City, so many elegant young masters, but the princess had never given them a second glance.
However, ever since he saw that Li Xian today, his entire person was out of his mind.
After hearing that Li Xian was locked up in prison, he immediately went to plead with Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao didn't have many children by her side, and Yang Qingwan was her youngest daughter, so she loved her very much.
Under Yang Qingwan's pleading, she was allowed to see Li Xian.
When they passed through the palace gates, the guards did not even question them.
With Wen Hai around, it was already the best passage token.
The Imperial Army on duty in the palace and one of Yang Guang's most elite troops, the Longyan Guards, were all Commander Wen Hai.
The carriage headed straight for the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
The lights in the prison of the Ministry of Justice were dim.
The jailers in the cell sized up the newcomer from afar.
The higher-ups had already issued an order. This man was Li Xian, the one who had beheaded the Goguryeon King Gao Yuan. His Majesty had personally ordered him to be imprisoned, and no one was to act recklessly.
Therefore, none of the jailers dared to act recklessly.
Squeak ~!
The sound of a door opening rang out, and the door of the prison was opened from the outside. Immediately after, the jailer guarding the door saw the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and the lieutenant leading the guards of the prison leading the way like a lackey.
Behind them were two women with bags on their heads and food boxes in their hands.
Apart from them, there was also a beardless middle-aged man who was dressed in palace attire and holding a saber in his arms.
"All of you can leave. Don't come in without orders.”
The jailers widened their eyes and knew that the person who had come was definitely a big shot, so they all nodded and bowed as they left.
Li Xian, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the cell, opened his eyes. Then, he saw the person outside clearly under the dim light.
After walking to the door of the cell, Yang Qingwan looked back at the servant girl behind her.
The maid in the green dress turned around and said to the official of the Ministry of Justice and the captain of the prison,"All of you can leave."
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice smiled apologetically." Alright, alright. We'll wait outside the door."”
After saying that, he retreated out of the cell.
Wen Hai glanced at Li Xian in the cell, nodded slightly, and left.
After everyone left, Yang Qingwan revealed her face.
"It's you?" Li Xian was surprised.
When he saw Wen Hai, he was still wondering who it was.
He just didn't expect that it was actually the princess that he had come down from the palace during the day.
Yang Qingwan smiled." That's right, it's me. I'm here to see my savior. Isn't that what I should do?"”
"Little Green, help me open the door of the cell.”
Yang Qingwan was holding a lunchbox in her hand.
After the maidservant opened the door of the cell, she gently bowed to Li Xian and retreated not far away.
Yang Qingwan walked in with one hand holding her dress and the other holding the food box. She then placed the food box in front of Li Xian.
"I don't know what you like to eat either. These are all made by the royal chefs in the palace. Try and see which one you like. If you like it, I'll send it to you tomorrow.”
Yang Qingwan said as she carefully placed the dishes in front of Li Xian.
When she raised her head, she realized that Li Xian wasn't looking at the dishes, but was staring at her face.
This time, she shut her mouth, and her pretty face turned red.
The smile on Li Xian's face grew even wider. As he laughed, he tore off a chicken drumstick and took a bite.
"Mm, not bad. It's delicious. Everything in this cell is good, but the food isn't very good.”Li Xian said with a smile.
"This is good?" Yang Qingwan looked around." It's wet and damp here. There's no sunlight. How can it be good?"”
"Hehe, at least it's much better than the one I used to live in!”
Li Xian looked at the candlelight not far away, and his thoughts could not help but return to more than ten years ago.
