Chapter 57 Forbidden Love
...
At this moment, Ji Yunhuang was in a place that Ning Xuemo would never have imagined—the imperial palace!
He originally planned to play chess with Ji Yunxiao all night, but he unexpectedly received an imperial decree from the palace at the third watch, and his father hurriedly called him into the palace.
The emperor's order could not be violated, so he had to bid farewell to the Fifth Prince and enter the palace directly.
What he didn't know was that less than a quarter of an hour after he left, the guards of the Prince's Mansion hurriedly came to the mansion of the Fifth Prince, wanting to report the news that the Ministry of Punishment had come to arrest him, but he was in vain--
Ji Yunhuang didn't know until he entered the palace that his father, the emperor, was lying on the dragon bed because of the cold, and asked him to accompany him by name.
Ji Yunhuang was helpless, he just happened to have nowhere to go tonight, so he stayed.
He felt that his father was a little long-winded tonight, and Xu Xu asked him about his current situation and had a chat with him.
He had to respond perfunctorily. I don't know why I feel a little flustered, and I want to go back to the mansion to see, but his father is very clingy tonight, and he won't let him leave at all...
...
Ning Xuemo had been delayed long enough, but Ji Yunhuang didn't return, she was taken out by Ji Yunyao and handed over to the hand of Mr. Lu from the Ministry of Punishment--
Ning Xuemo naturally asked the reason for arresting her, but the Master Lu said concisely: "You will naturally know when you arrive at the Punishment Department. If you are wronged, you will naturally be released."
He ordered someone to bind Ning Xuemo with iron chains. Ning Xuemo knew that she could never escape with her current ability, so she did not make unnecessary struggles, so as not to suffer more and go with them through gritted teeth.
What Ning Xuemo didn't expect was that she was arrested so overnight and did not go to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, but was sent directly to the prison of the Ministry of Justice...
The long and narrow passages, the thick and dark stone walls, the dark and shaking oil lamps, the damp and foul smell, and the screams and groans from the depths of the cell from time to time...
Everything was no different from the ancient prison cell that Ning Xuemo conjectured, and it was even more frightening.
When the Lord Lu sent someone to put her in the prison and handed it over to a man who looked thin and dry, Ning Xuemo knew that something was wrong!
The man was short in stature, and looked about as tall, short, fat and thin as Ning Xuemo, but he had folds on his face that could catch flies.
He was wearing a dark red robe, and the robe was dotted with brown stains that looked like blood. He seemed to have disabled legs and was pushed out by the jailer in a wheelchair.
Although it looks ugly, it has a dark and bloody aura that makes people shudder.
Ning Xuemo was sent in by the six officers of the Ministry of Punishment, and one of the chiefs greeted the man.
From their chat, Ning Xuemo knew that the man was called Tu Yidao, a very fierce and murderous name.
The head of the yamen didn't know what he was talking about with Tu Yidao, but he saw Tu Yidao nodded slightly and looked at Ning Xuemo with his eyes.
Ning Xuemo's body felt inexplicably cold, and there was a faint feeling of being brushed by a blade. Like being stared at by a beast...
No, do they indiscriminately punish her if she doesn't?
Give her a killer first?
Ning Xuemo clenched her fingers slowly, and the iron chain on her wrist rattled.
The six officers of the Ministry of Punishment turned around, and Tu Yidao glanced at Ning Xuemo again, with a flash of bloodthirsty light, and ordered someone to escort Ning Xuemo to the inside.
