With a clang, the cell door was locked, and the female prisoner left, leaving only dim lights and a putrid and dull atmosphere.

Woo hoo hoo, someone finally cried.

One person started, and the others couldn't help but cry too. For a while, the whole cell was filled with crying.

They were born as ladies of the Duke's palace. What worried them most was that the jewelry and clothing materials were not the most fashionable in the season. How embarrassing it would be to go out. How could they have thought that one day they would be thrown into prison. The sisters were crowded into a dark and damp room.

in the prison cell?

For them, this is the most terrifying thing that has ever happened in their lives.

Gu Zhao tied his cuffs tightly with a belt and squatted down to check the room. The room was not big, the floor was uneven, and there was a large pile of straw piled against the wall.

Gu Zhao touched it with his hand and found that the straw was very dry and had no peculiar smell. It must have been replaced just now, and it was obvious that some preparations had been made for this special group of "guests" who were about to stay.

This is much better than the treatment she received during her time in the cold palace.

"Stop crying, come and lay out the straw. Let's all huddle together and get some sleep. Maybe the Duke will come to take us back tomorrow."

Probably because Gu Zhao's tone was a bit understated, Lin Yayi was immediately annoyed.

"How to sleep? You said it's easy! There's not even a low couch, so how to sleep? You're not going to let us sleep on the straw, are you? We're not animals! You've been used to it for a long time, and we're not you!"

Gu Zhao looked at them, laughed, and said nothing more. He just spread out the straw and sat on it, wrapped himself in a cloak and leaned against the wall, closing his eyes.

After a while, rustling footsteps were heard, and a soft body sat down next to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao didn't open her eyes. She didn't know who was crying quietly, and she had no interest in paying attention.

"At this time, father should know our news, right? Why hasn't he come to pick us up?" I don't know who asked.

The little girl next to Gu Zhao let out a low cry and hugged Gu Zhao's arm tightly.

Gu Zhao felt her size and recognized that this was the youngest among their group, Lin Xiaotao, who was just six years old and the youngest daughter of Aunt Jiang.

Because Lin Xiaotao was born in poor health, she had a nickname that she has adopted to this day. She is also a treasure that is loved by Lin Weikang.

Lin Yayi glared at her coldly and said angrily, "Father must first go see his precious eldest daughter, the future crown princess."

They didn't go back so late. It's impossible that Duke Li's Mansion didn't know something was going on. No one has come yet. They must be focusing on Lin Xuerong.

"Sister, she...is already like this...Shouldn't the second uncle consider our reputation first? If we spend the night in jail, what will others say about us in the future?"

"It's just that it's dark and stuffy here. I don't even have hot tea. I want to go home."

"Second sister, you were there at the time. What happened to the eldest sister and Prince Xinyang?"

Gu Zhao just pretended not to hear, and Lin Yayi continued to say mockingly, "The prince of Xinyang County has been in love with the eldest lady for many years. If the eldest lady insists on saying that she is just grateful and does not agree or reject her, isn't it bound to happen sooner or later?"

Gu Zhao leaned against the corner and felt the little girl next to her burying herself in her arms. The soft and warm feeling made her heart ache. She couldn't help but raise her arms to wrap around the little girl's back and pat her gently.

As a result, when he moved his arm, he discovered that the little girl was holding her sleeve in her mouth and grinding her teeth.

As soon as Gu Zhao lowered his head, the little girl raised her eyes pitifully and explained softly, "I'm hungry."

She was said to be six years old, but in fact she was only a child over four years old. Fortunately, Aunt Jiang felt relieved and let the nanny hold her and go out to play with her sisters.

Children tend to get hungry easily, so it would be strange if they don't feel hungry after being tossing like this until midnight.

Gu Zhao took out the dried meat he had prepared from his sleeve and quietly stuffed it into her mouth.

"Shh."

The little girl's eyes lit up, she ducked into Gu Zhao's arms, and laughed softly.

"I haven't washed up yet, how can I sleep?"

"That's right. I haven't undressed my hair, washed my face, or applied any balm. How can I sleep?"

Gu Zhao closed her eyes and ignored the complaints of these wealthy ladies. What flashed through her mind over and over again were the scenes when she entered the women's prison just now.

After rebirth, he suddenly had the special ability to hear other people's voices. This greatly helped Gu Zhao's revenge plan, but it also reminded Gu Zhao that he could not rely entirely on this ability, but should also observe more details and figure out more.

People's hearts, improving one's eyesight is the right way.

Otherwise, if she encounters a situation that is obviously suspicious but inconvenient to touch her body, she may be helpless.

For example, with Tang Zhongyun, Gu Zhao clearly felt that there was something wrong with him, but in the end he didn't figure out what the problem was.

That's okay, after all, it has nothing to do with her.

But today in Yuxian Tower, someone wanted to murder the prince, but she was ignorant and still dealt with Qin Youjin and Lin Xuerong according to the original plan, which in vain increased the risk for herself.

So from the moment she entered the women's prison, Gu Zhao deliberately observed the surrounding environment and everyone's actions to train herself.

When they came in, there were three inmates in the women's prison. The leader was in his forties, short and fat, and spoke fluently. He was not particularly enthusiastic about "prisoners" with their special status. He must have been in the women's prison for a long time.

, have seen many fortunes rise and fall?

The other two prisoners, one tall and thin, the other short and thin, both wore the same clothes and were both in their thirties.

However, the tall and thin one was more agile, and rushed to open the cell door for them, but soon he lost his temper, and his movements became loud, and he locked the door with a bang, as if he was dissatisfied with them.

Is it because they thought they were ladies from the Duke's palace and would be rewarded with money, but it failed?

We can't blame them, after all, these girls have never
