Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 366 Visiting the Heavenly Prison

The Queen made quite a fuss, and the news of Luo Xiaoran's "second entry into the palace" quickly spread in the harem and then to the previous dynasty.

After Huo Qingyun learned about this, he immediately asked Emperor Tianqi for permission, wanting to send the Imperial Guards into the Heavenly Prison to protect Luo Xiaoran, just like he did last time.

Looking at Huo Qingyun coming so fast, a thought flashed through his mind. Emperor Tianqi supported his chin and stared at him straight.

"Huo Qingyun, you seem... to care about Luo Xiaoran a lot."

Huo Qingyun's expression did not change, but his right hand in his sleeve clenched unconsciously, and then suddenly loosened as if it was burned.

“Miss Luo is the future Princess of Yan after all, and the King of Yan is already on his way to Kyoto.

If he had just arrived in Kyoto and found out that his future princess was imprisoned, he would probably have misunderstood her."

"Misunderstanding?" Emperor Tianqi changed his hand to support his chin, "What misunderstanding?"

Huo Qingyun said gently: "It's a misunderstanding that someone in the palace deliberately prevented Prince Yan from getting married."

"That's a huge misunderstanding!"

Emperor Tianqi smiled meaningfully, and when Huo Qingyun thought he would agree to send the Imperial Guards, he slowly uttered two words:

"No!"

Emperor Tianqi's attitude towards Luo Xiaoran's safety seemed to be inconsistent, and Huo Qingyun was a little confused.

He discovered that since returning from the North, there had been some mystery surrounding the young emperor.

After a pause, Huo Qingyun continued:

"I have another matter to report to the Emperor.

Bai Zhi, the captain of the Imperial Guard who was ordered to guard the Tang family, was found dead at home.

"Bai Zhi?"

"Your Majesty once said that he had a black face, but his last name was 'Bai', which was very interesting."

"I remember now, I saw it in the palace.

The dead are the greatest, give them more compensation!"

Emperor Tianqi understood that Huo Qingyun was suing the Tang family again.

But now is not the best time to take action against the Tang family.

"I thank the Lord for his grace on behalf of Bai Zhi, but I'm afraid the pension can be saved for the Ministry of Revenue."

Huo Qingyun's voice was still as gentle as the wind, but there was a hint of coldness in this wind, like a precursor to a sudden drop in temperature.

"On the second day after Bai Zhi's sudden death, his residence caught fire and his entire family was killed."

The cynical smile of Emperor Tianqi faded a little, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Then use this pension to give their whole family a proper burial!"

……

Since the founding of the Daliang Dynasty, Luo Xiaoran is the first person who can get out of the Heavenly Prison intact.

Luo Xiaoran was the first person to return to the Heavenly Prison after being away for a few days.

As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar.

Luo Xiaoran's fame had spread throughout the Heavenly Prison. From time to time, young eunuchs on duty would come to take a look. Luo Xiaoran immediately experienced the feeling of being watched like a monkey.

In the end, Eunuch Sun got wind of the news and personally drove the group of young eunuchs away and gave them a scolding.

"Miss Luo, you don't have to pay attention to these servants. I have spoiled them and they have no rules.

It's time for lunch, Miss Luo, please have some."

Eunuch Sun came into the cell carrying a food box. He first explained everything to the young eunuchs, and then took out the food from the food box one by one and placed it on the table.

Luo Xiaoran blinked. It’s very rich!

"Look at the food here, it's the same as the last time I came here, Eunuch Sun, thank you for your hard work!"

The smile on Eunuch Sun's face did not seem fake. "Last time and this time, wasn't it all you, Miss Luo? I will take good care of you."

Luo Xiaoran just smiled and said nothing. Wei An took over the conversation:

"But last time, the Imperial Guards entered the Heavenly Prison for protection. This time, there's such a big commotion, and it also involves the Queen. I wonder how long it will take to resolve this matter?"

Eunuch Sun fully understood this concern. He lowered his voice and said:

"All the people involved in this case are being interrogated intensively. We must find out the real culprit as soon as possible and not let Miss Luo stay in prison for too long."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Eunuch Sun."

After Eunuch Sun left, Wei An first tested the food on the table with a silver hairpin and found nothing wrong.

She looked at Luo Xiaoran and said hesitantly:

"Princess, shall we eat this meal?"

Luo Xiaoran smiled, "Some poisons cannot be detected by the silver hairpin."

"Then let's not eat it just to be on the safe side," Wei An continued.

"But if we don't eat, we'll probably starve to death before we even get out of the prison," Luo Xiaoran teased her.

Wei An was about to cry, "Then Princess, should we eat it or not?"

Luo Xiaoran did not answer Wei An's question, but pulled out a hairpin from her head, then reached for the lock outside the wooden fence and began to tinker with it.

The lock of this sky prison is much more difficult to open than that of the big prison in Fuyuan County.

Moreover, when they broke into the prison to rescue Du Kongqing, they opened the lock from the outside, which was very convenient. But now they are doing it the other way around... Fortunately, they still opened it.

"Let's go check out other cells?" Luo Xiaoran raised the big black lock in her hand and said to Wei An.

Wei An was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.

Before leaving, he packed the food on the table into a lunch box and took it with him.

Unfortunately, as soon as the two walked out, they ran into Eunuch Sun who was holding a plate of fruit.

When their eyes met, Eunuch Sun subconsciously touched the key at his waist. It was not lost!

"Fruit, for me?"

Luo Xiaoran's words successfully woke up the stiff eunuch Sun. He looked around and found that there was no one else present, so he smiled dryly and handed the fruit forward.

"Miss Luo, this is the Imperial City Prison after all, please...don't make things difficult for me, okay?"

"Eunuch Sun, you are joking. What good will it do for me if others know that I can open the lock of this sky prison?"

Eunuch Sun wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with his free hand and nodded repeatedly.

"Then Miss Luo... please?"

"Not urgent!"

Luo Xiaoran waved her hand and gave an understanding smile:

"Can you visit other prisoners? If it's not convenient, forget it!"

After saying that, Luo Xiaoran looked around at the many empty cells around her, showing great interest.

Seeing her like this, did Eunuch Sun dare to say that it was inconvenient?

The locks of the sky prison were made by the most famous craftsmen in Kyoto. Miss Luo could even open it. Even if he changed the lock, it would be useless!

It would be better to just follow the will of this young lady. Anyway, based on these two encounters, he could tell that Miss Luo was not the kind of person who acted without purpose.

Eunuch Sun looked around, not knowing where to put the fruit in his hand. Wei An took it and put it in the food box.

"Thank you, Miss Wei An! Miss Luo, shall we go now?"

"go!"

Eunuch Sun led the way in front, Luo Xiaoran followed behind, and Wei An walked at the end carrying a food box. The three of them strolled around the Sky Prison leisurely.

After turning two corners, there were finally prisoners in the cells on both sides of the passage.

There were both men and women, all lying in the dark and confined cell like a pile of rotten meat, silent and as if dead.

The smell of rotting wounds wafted out from the cell. Wei An subconsciously held the food box behind him, as if this would prevent the smell in the cell from clinging to the food.

Luo Xiaoran has a keen sense of smell, and these smells are more stimulating to her.

After the subconscious physiological stimulation, there was a feeling of anger and powerlessness that she herself didn't know how to describe.

"Once they are in the prison, they may not be able to get out in a short time. Eunuch Sun, you beat them up like this and still keep them locked up. Isn't it troublesome?"

Luo Xiaoran heard herself ask coldly.
