After Ling Jingshu finished speaking, she stopped talking.

The emperor did not ask any questions. She should never be too talkative.

The emperor must have caught the traitor himself tonight, when he was most shameless and angry. When you are angry, it is not strange to do anything.

If the emperor gets angry and orders everyone in Jiaofang Palace to be killed, she won't be able to escape!

The emperor's eyes were still clouded, and his voice was gloomy and scary: "You have only been in the palace for half a year, and you already know that Yu Chun and others are favored. Ruilian and others have been serving the queen for several years, how could you not know? Just now, when How dare you open your eyes and tell lies in front of me."

"What a group of loyal slaves!"

The tone of his gritted teeth was full of frightening murderous intent.

Ling Jingshu's palms were sweating. For the first time in her life, death was so close to her: "Your Majesty, please calm down! I have told you everything I know, and I have never hidden anything."

The emperor looked at Ling Jingshu coldly: "You really didn't hide anything from me?"

At this time, there must be no hesitation: "Yes, I swear to God. If there is any lie, I am willing to be cut into pieces and die."

As soon as such a harsh oath was uttered, the emperor's gloomy expression finally softened slightly: "What you said is so categorical, I believe you for once. Someone, take Ling Jingshu into the palace prison. Waiting for my fate.”

After a pause, he added: "Remember to be detained separately from Ruilian and the others, so don't neglect."

Ling Jingshu kowtowed deeply and thanked her: "I thank the Emperor for not killing me."

After Ling Jingshu stood up and left, the slight relief on the emperor's face turned into ice again: "Come here, bring over the servants that Miss Ling just mentioned. I will interrogate them one by one today!"

…

If there are concubines in the harem or palace maids who make serious mistakes, they will be imprisoned in the prison of the palace, waiting for punishment.

The Tianlao is located in the northernmost corner of the entire palace. There are hundreds of imperial guards guarding it in shifts. No one can approach it at will. The guards are very tight.

After entering the prison, it is not easy to get out again. Unless the emperor speaks for himself, he will have no choice but to stay in the prison.

Ling Jingshu was escorted to the prison by several imperial guards.

Compared with the luxury and magnificence of the palace, this place seems to be another world.

Walking down the narrow stairs, what you see are small cells. The face of the woman imprisoned inside was numb and gloomy, and the dim and unclear light added a bit of darkness and coldness to the sky prison.

Ruilian Qiu Shuang and others were locked inside. When they saw Ling Jingshu being escorted in, their faces showed sympathy for each other. But no one dared to speak.

The chamberlain handed Ling Jingshu over to the chief guard of the Tianlao: "This is the female officer Ling who is beside the Queen. The Emperor has specially warned her not to neglect her."

A guard who can be a leader is naturally not a fool, and he immediately understood the meaning behind the words of the chamberlain.

Something big happened in Jiaofang Palace tonight, and Ruilian and the others were taken to the sky prison and imprisoned. But the only one the emperor ordered to take special care of was this female official, Ling.

Under the dim light, Miss Ling's slightly pale face was astonishingly beautiful.

Such a lovely person, even if he was dragged into the prison by Empress Xu, he would never stay in the prison for long.

The chief guard knew what was going on and immediately gave the order: "Come here, take Lady Officer Ling to the cell on the floor below."

On the first level of the prison, the most ordinary palace maids and chamberlains were imprisoned, which was very simple.

The second floor of the heavenly prison was reserved for concubines who had made mistakes in the palace. The cells are much more spacious, and each cell is quite clean, with beds, chairs, toilets and other necessary items provided. The people responsible for guarding the second floor of the prison are all palace ladies, and no men enter or leave.

As a female officer, Ling Jingshu was imprisoned in the second level of the prison, which was considered particularly distressing.

…

The prison on the second floor was not empty. Two concubines had been imprisoned before.

Ling Jingshu was taken into the innermost cell.

A palace maid, about thirty years old, with a stocky build and a mediocre face, locked the lock with an expressionless face: "Three meals a day will be delivered on time. Stay in there and be honest. Don't yell and scream all day long."

Ling Jingshu nodded silently.

At this time, she was physically and mentally exhausted, her mind was in chaos, and she was really in no mood to talk.

The palace maid was very satisfied when she saw that she was quite honest and peaceful, and she said a few words in a rare kindness: "Everyone who enters this prison has made a big mistake. Unless the emperor is merciful, she will never get out in this life. Moreover, , and no one is allowed to come in to visit.”

"I would like to advise you, stay here honestly, maybe you can go out one day. If you dare to make a fuss, you will not get good results. Even if you are hungry for two days without eating, it is considered a light thing."

Ling Jingshu managed to cheer up: "Thank you for reminding me, I will stay calm and honest, and I will never make any noise."

I was woken up from my dream, and in such a hurry when I came out, I didn't even have time to dress up. There is only one gold hairpin on her head and the jade bracelet she usually wears on her hand.

Ling Jingshu pulled out the gold hairpin and jade bracelet and stuffed them into the hands of the palace maid: "Please take care of me, sister, in the future."

The gold hairpin is simple and elegant in style and exquisite in workmanship. The jade bracelet is of excellent quality, and you can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary.

The palace maid also knew what was good. She weighed it in her hands and quickly stuffed it into her arms. A smile suddenly appeared on her face: "It's already midnight. You should go to bed first. I will bring water to freshen you up tomorrow morning."

Ling Jingshu thanked her.

The maid left quickly.

Ling Jingshu took a long breath and looked around the cell, with a wry smile on her lips. Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, he would be jailed.

This cell was fairly clean, with a bed, desk, chair, box, and a small dressing mirror.

Even the lowliest palace maid lives in a better place than this. Now I can't find fault with these things.

Ling Jingshu walked to the bed, put on her clothes and lay down. So many things had happened, and she was not sleepy at all at this time. Her eyes were open, and her mind was filled with thoughts.

Queen Xu's downfall has become a foregone conclusion.

No matter how broad-minded the emperor is, he will never allow a woman who is unruly to sit in the position of the queen.

However, the emperor would never like to see such palace scandals spread. Therefore, they immediately sealed off the Jiaofang Palace and secretly interrogated the people in the Jiaofang Palace. To deal with Queen Xu, she would only find other excuses.

Once Queen Xu fell, the fledgling King Yan lost a lot of support and could not be the opponent of the prince and grandson. And Princess Changping, without the support of Queen Xu, she would no longer be as domineering and arrogant as in her previous life.

Everything he knew in his previous life finally completely changed direction at this time.

Wei Yan, on the other hand, was able to relieve his heavy burden and breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Although she was imprisoned in the sky prison, Ling Jingshu surprisingly did not feel panicked.

Wei Yan knew that she was imprisoned in the sky prison, and he would definitely find a way to rescue her!
