Chapter 353 Congratulations
Imperial City, Heavenly Prison.
"Knowing that you were coming, I had everyone clean up the place in advance, for fear of disturbing you."
Eunuch Sun, with a flattering smile on his face, led the way for Chen Lingyi. Zhu Yan was the last one walking among the three.
What Eunuch Sun said was true. In order to welcome Chen Lingyi's arrival, even the years of bloodstains in the torture room were swept away spotlessly.
Seeing such a clean torture chamber, Chen Lingyi not only did not feel the enjoyment that Eunuch Sun had expected, but instead looked puzzled.
"The torture chamber is used to interrogate the slaves who were captured in the prison. There is no need to keep it so clean. The bloodier and more horrible it is, the more frightened the slaves will be. In the end, they will honestly confess everything they know!"
Eunuch Sun's flattery hit the horse's hoof. He sneered twice and nodded repeatedly. After taking Chen Lingyi to Luo Xiaoran's cell, he tactfully withdrew.
Luo Xiaoran was not surprised by Chen Lingyi's arrival.
However, Wei An, who was beside her, frowned slightly when he saw Chen Lingyi.
Luo Xiaoran had a very clear self-awareness. She was now a suspect, and this identity was the best for her to just throw away the jar. She didn't care about the false formalities in the palace, and just stared at Chen Lingyi quietly across the fence.
Chen Lingyi saw Luo Xiaoran enter the Sky Prison. Her clothes were still neat and tidy, and she looked leisurely as if she was strolling in the garden. She did not speak for a while.
After all, the scene before her was different from what she had imagined.
In her imagination, Luo Xiaoran should have suffered several punishments in the prison, becoming half-crippled, and being thrown in the dark and damp prison like a rag, slowly waiting to die.
But Luo Xiaoran now acted as if nothing had happened. She stared at him silently through the wooden fence and even forgot to greet him.
Seeing that Chen Lingyi was slow to speak, Luo Xiaoran took the initiative to greet her, as if she was greeting a guest from afar at home.
"Will the Princess' first sentence also be to blame me for not being polite?" Just like... Concubine Tang in the Empress Dowager's palace.
Chen Lingyi: “…”
Luo Xiaoran's voice was a little harsh, and Chen Lingyi felt a little annoyed.
"You can still act so calm after killing Lin Yuanfang, Luo Xiaoran, you are really not afraid of death!"
"Princess, please be careful with your words! The Emperor hasn't convicted me of any crime yet, but you are now accusing me of such a crime. Isn't it a bit too hasty?" Luo Xiaoran raised her eyebrows.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Lingyi couldn't help laughing, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Luo Xiaoran, oh Luo Xiaoran, you are indeed a country girl who has never seen the world. Only someone of your humble origins would foolishly believe in the word 'innocence'.
You have to know that Lin Yuanfang died in Fukang Palace, and you are now living in Fukang Palace, so you will never be able to get away from this matter, and the Lin family will not let you go!"
Luo Xiaoran couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Chen Lingyi must not know that she had a feud with the Lin family a long time ago. The death of Lin Qianqian, the second young lady of their family who was living away from home, was also related to her!
She was not afraid of offending the Lin family at all. If she was afraid, she would not have come to Kyoto!
"If they want to kill me, then go ahead and kill me. I'll be waiting!"
Luo Xiaoran's fearless attitude successfully angered Chen Lingyi. A fierce look flashed in her eyes and her breathing became much faster.
"You really don't know how to live or die! Don't think that just because the Empress Dowager agrees to your marriage with your uncle, you can safely become the Princess of Yan.
The Empress Dowager is old and in poor health, and she wants to hold a few weddings among the royal family to bring good luck! You are just lucky to have caught up with her! "
