The people at Dali Temple were more polite than expected. They did not put shackles on Ning Yujin and even drove a carriage to pick her up.
After all, she was the princess that Mo Jingxiao was betrothed to. If he was too rude to her, all the people in Shengjing would throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in Zheng Zhongkui's face.
So to be selfless is to be selfless, but you still have to be able to do it!
Ning Yujin was sent directly to the women's prison without going through trial. In Zheng Zhongkui's words, he was collecting evidence comprehensively, and the trial could not begin until he had almost everything.
This is nothing to Ning Yujin. Anyway, she came to the prison with other purposes.
There were naturally everyone in the prison. When Ning Yujin was pulled by two female jailers through the middle aisle, all kinds of inquiring eyes fell on her, as if they were trying to pull her away.
She looked at it from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from inside to outside, from outside to inside, including every strand of hair.
Ning Yujin felt uncomfortable looking at her. Because she couldn't explain the reason at the moment, she simply didn't bother to care so much and followed the two female jailers honestly.
Halfway through, each cell suddenly began to whisper, and finally the voices became louder and louder, and even Ning Yujin could hear them clearly.
"Look, that's the one who is said to be Princess Ding appointed by His Highness Prince Ding."
"What? Princess Ding? Haha, are you kidding me? Princess Ding should be living in the royal palace, enjoying the good things, drinking spicy food, and enjoying happiness. How could she end up in prison? Is it possible that His Highness Prince Ding doesn't want her anymore?"
"I heard that he seems to be restless and has done something serious."
"Hmph, this paper can't stop the fire. When King Ding chose his concubine, she might have used some means to deceive His Highness Prince Ding and get the position of the princess. Now it's better. How long has it been before her true colors are revealed?
Got it!"
"That's right, I deserve to end up like this now!"
…
Ning Yujin smiled instead of getting angry as she listened. She wanted to ask these people who were righteously accusing her, how many of them clearly knew the ins and outs of everything?
These speculations full of malice and gloating are just a manifestation of the imbalance in their hearts.
She didn't have time to worry so much about these people. She just walked on her own path as if some vicious dogs were barking in her ears.
The two female jailers glanced at Ning Yujin's indifferent expression, looked at each other again, nodded, then waved the whip in their hands and yelled viciously: "What are you making a fuss about? Your skin is itchy again."
No? If you don’t want to be beaten, just say so!”
After being yelled at, the female prisoners shrank back inside and closed their mouths, obviously frightened by being beaten so often.
Ning Yujin was sent all the way to the innermost room, where there were two empty iron cells. One was for her, and the other, needless to say, was probably reserved for Ning Yuyan.
The two female jailers were not very cruel to her, and she was very cooperative. After entering the iron prison, she saw a wooden bed, a wooden barrel, and nothing else. Maybe it was because the shadow guard was a female prisoner.
So it doesn't look too messy.
After she entered, she lay down on the wooden bed, closed her eyes and rested, waiting for Ning Yuyan's arrival.
This didn't make her wait long. When she was asleep, she heard the sound of chains next to her. When she turned her head and opened her eyes, she saw Ning Yuyan in a white undershirt being pushed into the prison.
Ning Yuyan looked even more embarrassed than she had imagined. A woman who always paid attention to her posture and appearance, now had disheveled hair and dirty clothes, and she looked as if she had aged many years in an instant.
The female jailer who sent her here pushed her into the cell and left. She folded her arms and shivered, then dragged her body slowly to the wooden bed and huddled up on the bed.
This posture is a sign of lack of security. But how could Ning Yuyan fall to this point in such a short period of time?
Seeing the two female jailers leaving, Ning Yujin got out of bed and ran to the iron fence between them, winking at Ning Yuyan to attract her attention.
Unfortunately, Ning Yuyan buried her head at the moment and couldn't see her expression at all.
Ning Yujin looked around and saw that the last few prisons were relatively quiet, with only a few scattered people. She simply called Ning Yuyan: "Big sister!"
Ning Yuyan's body moved a little now, but she still didn't raise her head.
Ning Yujin shouted several times in succession, and then she slowly raised her head, glanced around blankly, and finally fixed her gaze on Ning Yujin.
"Sister, come here." Ning Yujin hurriedly waved to her, wanting her to come to the middle so that she could check her.
Ning Yuyan used to be such a shrewd person, but now he seems to be a completely different person. How could there be no problems at all?
It's a pity that her endless calls didn't call Ning Yuyan over. Instead, several other prisoners in the prison raised their heads and glanced at her.
Ning Yujin was at a loss for a while, but then she seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, she took out a small shortbread from her arms, stretched out her hand over the fence, and led Ning Yuyan over: "Sister, what do you think this is? You want to eat it?"
? If you want to eat, come here by yourself..."
Being sensitive to food is the most primitive instinct of human beings.
Sure enough, this trick was very effective, and Ning Yuyan slowly got out of bed and walked towards Ning Yujin.
The cell was very small and could be walked in just a few steps. But Ning Yuyan's shuffling steps made it seem like she had walked for a long time.
Ning Yujin handed the shortbread to Ning Yuyan, took the opportunity to hold her arm, and quickly checked her pulse.
During this examination, Ning Yujin's face suddenly changed. She glanced deeply at Ning Yuyan sideways, then quickly took out a few pills from her arms and stuffed them into her while she was eating.
In the mouth.
Because she had expected that Ning Yuyan had been poisoned by the drunken dream flower, she had prepared antidote medicine before coming in. However, Ning Yuyan's situation was much worse than she imagined - she was not temporarily poisoned.
Instead, it accumulates over time, at least for half a month.
This kind of poison that slowly soaks into the bone marrow is difficult to detoxify and makes people easier to control. No wonder she pushed the princess into the water.
"want……"
After Ning Yuyan finished eating, she stretched out her hand towards Ning Yujin and looked at her with a pair of bloodshot eyes. Her cheeks were so thin that they were sunken into two hollows. She looked like she had crawled out of an African refugee cave.
Ning Yujin's heart moved with compassion, and she said in a gentle tone: "It's just that piece. It will be gone after you eat it. If you want to eat it, I will find a way to get some for you."
Ning Yuyan seemed not to understand what she was saying, and stretched out her hand to grab her. Her expression suddenly became ferocious: "I want it! I want it! I want it!"
Perhaps the nails had not been cut for a long time, leaving a long section. Ning Yujin couldn't dodge when she suddenly grabbed her, and a bloody mark appeared on the back of her hand!
She endured the pain and hurriedly moved away, and saw the two female jailers who had just left running back at this time, waving the whip in their hands and saying with a fierce expression: "What are you making a fuss about? Do you think this is your home?
You can do whatever you want? If you mess around again, be careful to get whipped!"
Ning Yujin covered the back of her hands and looked at Ning Yuyan, and saw that she was like a mouse meeting a cat. Her crazy look immediately subsided and she carefully returned to the wooden bed.
She tilted her head, suddenly feeling that something was not right.
