Using the fastest speed, Xie Yao circled around the prison and found three waves of imperial guards patrolling.
Although there was some distance between them, it was not enough for her to rush into the prison from the outside without being discovered by the guards outside.
What's more, there is a cell head inside.
As long as there is an unusual sound from the cell inside, the guards outside will rush in immediately.
This prison is indeed well guarded!
Xie Yao hid in the dark, frowning.
We must find a way to get in as soon as possible, no more time is wasted!
With cold eyes, she glanced at a father-in-law in the distance, narrowed her eyes, and was about to walk over.
Now we can only make some noise on this father-in-law, make attacks in the east and west, distract the imperial guards outside the prison, and then take the opportunity to sneak into the prison and make plans.
Just when she was about to take a step, there was a conversation behind her.
"Why do you still come to deliver meals to that King Han? Isn't this a waste?" A palace maid carried a food box and complained as she walked.
"Stop complaining, be careful to let others listen! Let us deliver the food, we will deliver it, no matter what you do. If you want to live longer in the palace, you must control your mouth! Otherwise,
, he suddenly died without knowing why." The father-in-law beside him looked experienced.
"I just want to talk to you. I won't say a word in front of others."
"Okay, don't say any more. There is a prison in front of you. We will leave after delivering the meals."
"good."
Xie Yao's eyes narrowed, sending food to Chu Han?
She was worried that there was no way to get into the prison, and here comes the way!
Without hesitation, she directly used the potion to knock out her father-in-law and the palace maid, then changed into her father-in-law's clothes, carried the food box and walked towards the prison.
She is now dressing up as a man and can only continue to act like a man.
Fortunately, this father-in-law is not very strong, and she is only slightly fatter when she wears her father-in-law's clothes, which is not conspicuous.
Before walking to the prison, she saw a group of Imperial Guards walking in her direction from a distance.
It's a little strange that the expressions of those imperial guards are not strict and solemn, but rather relaxed, as if they are here to attend to some errands.
After just one glance, she withdrew her gaze and continued to walk towards the prison door.
The pair of imperial guards passed behind Xie Yao without even looking at Xie Yao.
Xie Yao walked to the prison door, knocked on the door, and imitated the high-pitched voice of her father-in-law: "Come and deliver food to King Han."
When she was changing her father-in-law's clothes, she tried to learn it several times, but she didn't expect that the high-pitched voice was quite easy to learn.
"Come in." A voice came from inside.
Xie Yao opened the door and walked in, then closed the door again pretending not to do so.
There was a pungent musty smell in the prison. Xie Yao remained calm and took a quick look around.
Because it was dark here and it was getting very late outside, it was dark inside the prison and it was impossible to see what was in the distance.
Xie Yao only glanced at the nearby area and saw six prison guards, all sitting around the only oil lamp.
"Xiao Zaozi, how come you still learn to be polite and know to knock on the door before coming in?" A bearded cell leader came over and took the food box from Xie Yao's hand and asked with a smile.
Xie Yao's heart moved and she never knocked on the door?
"It's always right to observe etiquette. You can avoid being beaten less." Xie Yao said in a sharp voice.
"Being beaten?" The cell leader chuckled, "Other father-in-laws were beaten a lot, but what about you?"
"Where's Guiyuan? Why didn't she come with you? Aren't you inseparable?" asked another tall and thin prison guard.
It seems that this little Zaozi is very popular, as he talks to the prison guards very familiarly.
Xie Yao frowned secretly in her heart.
Are these people familiar with Xiao Zaozi?
Then her disguise...
"Xiao Zaozi, why do you seem to have lost weight? Your clothes are all baggy." Another prison head said with a smile.
Xie Yao did not answer this time and glanced deep into the prison.
The prison is not big, with only a few cells.
She had looked at the three prisons nearby. They were empty and quite clean. It seemed like no one had been imprisoned there.
As for the depths of the prison, it was so dark that nothing could be seen or heard.
The bearded prison guard walked back to the table carrying the food box, took off the lid of the food box, and placed all the food inside on the table. The prison guards immediately started eating without any hesitation, smoothly and effortlessly.
It's not the first time you see it.
When Xie Yao saw this, his eyes turned cold.
They actually ate Chu Han's meal, and Chu Han...
She pinched a handful of poisonous powder in her hand and walked quietly towards the inside.
A prison guard saw Xie Yao's actions and didn't take it seriously. He continued to eat the meal, "It tastes really good! If I didn't have this opportunity, I might never be able to eat such delicious food in my life!"
"Eat your food in peace! There is so much nonsense!"
“This job is really good! It’s easy and has delicious food!”
"..."
When Xie Yao passed by several prison guards, he threw out a handful of poisonous powder without leaving any trace.
Because of the dim light and the fact that several people were busy eating delicious food, none of the prison guards noticed the existence of the poisonous powder.
Xie Yao walked a few more steps, and when she walked inside, she saw the scene in the cell, her pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a look of disbelief on her face!
impossible!
Chu Han is not here!
This is the last cell in this prison, but there is no trace of Chu Han in it!
Where is Chu Han?
Why is there no Chu Han here?
The outside is heavily guarded, there are so many prison guards inside, and there are people specially delivering meals, why is Chu Han not here?
She walked up to the cell and took a closer look inside, her eyes narrowing even further.
The ground was different from the previous cells. There were obvious traces, indicating that someone had obviously stayed here.
In addition, Princess Minghui said she had seen Chu Han here, so this cell was originally used to imprison Chu Han!
Now that there is no trace of Chu Han, could it be that Emperor Zhao Chu brought Chu Han to trial?
She immediately shook her head, denying this possibility.
Emperor Zhaochu knew very well that he couldn't ask anything from Chu Han, and there was nothing to ask except her whereabouts.
So where did Chu Han go?
She immediately turned around and returned to the table, hoping to get some information from the prison guards, but found that all of them had been poisoned by her poisonous powder and were unconscious.
To be on the safe side, she gave them poisonous powder that would allow them to sleep for a full hour. They would wake up naturally after an hour, so there was no need for an antidote. Even wanting to wake them up temporarily was not easy and required a lot of equipment.
Xie Yao looked around and saw that there was nothing available at all.
She caught a glimpse of the key on the cell leader's waist, reached out to take it off, took the only oil lamp, and opened the cell door.
Then in the faint light of the oil lamp, she saw a pattern on the wall...
