Chapter Sixteen The Princess is Dead
"Tick tock, tick tock!"
The ice and snow melted, and the sound of dripping water resounded in the quiet dungeon.
Feng Jiuqing folded her arms and leaned against the cold stone wall. She looked up at the darkening sky outside, feeling a little uneasy. Since Zizhu came that night, there has been no news in the past few days. Logically speaking, she
Zizhu will not understand what he said.
Even if she doesn't take the medicine, Nangong Yue will remain as she is at most.
It was very quiet outside, and the dungeon was even quieter. This quietness was different from the previous few days. It seemed like a calm before a storm, which made her feel flustered.
Feng Jiuqing pressed her heart, sat down on the ground, and comforted herself. After all, Nangong Yue was the sister of Nangong Ling's mother. Even if there was anything, Nangong Ling would protect her. Even if the witty words had any purpose, they should not be.
It would be too much.
But she is different, she must go.
She is a spy sent by Dayan from the Western Regions, and what happened before will definitely become a handle for Nangong Ling. Although she doesn't know why Nangong Ling spared her life, she can't guarantee it. In the future, Nangong Ling will use her head to show her loyalty to the emperor.
, then she would be so unjust.
With a "bang", the dungeon door made a crisp sound.
coming!
Feng Jiuqing raised her eyes slightly and looked towards the door.
Seeing the man staggering over with a wooden bucket, Feng Jiuqing went up to him without waiting for the man to approach, took the porridge bowl from the man's hand, and took a sip.
The man had been serving prison food for so long. It was the first time that he saw Feng Jiuqing take the porridge bowl from his hand so actively. She was stunned for a moment, but she didn't care. She picked up the wowotou in her pocket and threw it in.
He was holding the bucket and was about to leave, but just after taking a few steps, there was the sound of the porridge bowl being smashed behind him.
The man paused for a moment, looked back, and suddenly saw a mouthful of blood spurting out from Feng Jiu's mouth.
"puff!"
Feng Jiu spit out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell to the ground, her eyes wide open and motionless!
"ah!"
The man was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, carefully climbed to the outside of Feng Jiuqing's cell, and shouted in a trembling voice.
"Princess, princess!"
Seeing that Feng Jiuqing didn't respond for a long time, and his eyes seemed to be frozen forever, the man's face turned pale and he immediately ran out of the dungeon. Soon two guards ran in and saw Feng Jiuqing lying on the ground gradually becoming stiff.
He tilted his head and his face changed drastically.
"Go and report to the prince!"
One of them spoke immediately, then took out the key hanging on his waist and opened the cell door.
Feng Jiuqing pretended to be the princess of the Western Regions and came to Dayan to get married and took the opportunity to steal information. Everyone in Dayan knew about this. She was supposed to be escorted to Dali Temple, but the prince still resolutely refused to accept it in front of the emperor.
Even if she is whipped sixty times, she must protect the princess.
Everyone was a little confused about Nangong Ling's thoughts for a while, so naturally they didn't dare to neglect him!
"princess."
The guard squatted in front of Feng Jiuqing and shouted hurriedly.
I saw a faint smile on the person who was lying motionless on the ground.
"Brother, thank you!"
The guard's eyes widened suddenly, knowing that he had been deceived, and just as he was about to get up, he saw Feng Jiuqing ducking out of the way, getting up from the ground, and slashing his arm towards his neck.
"Um!"
The guard let out a muffled cry, then his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.
Looking at the man lying on the ground, Feng Jiuqing slightly raised the corners of her lips and raised her hand to wipe the blood on her lips. If it weren't for Nangong Ling to relax her vigilance, she would have been in trouble for the past few days. She was twenty-one.
The special military doctor of the century, can a prison hold her?
Feng Jiuqing took off the guard's clothes and put them on herself. When she saw a pile of meat on the ground, she threw her clothes on the guard.
When she walked out of the cell, Feng Jiuqing saw the dumbfounded meal delivery man standing aside.
"Please forgive me, Princess. I didn't see anything."
The man immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"How could you not see anything?" Feng Jiuqing smiled, squatted down in front of the man, and said calmly, "You saw me pretending to die, tricking the guard into opening the door for me, and then I knocked the guard unconscious.
You changed into a guard's clothes and ran away, if Nangong Ling asks, you tell him so!"
"ah?"
The man looked up blankly.
Feng Jiuqing smiled, stood up and walked towards the dungeon door. After only walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something, stopped in her tracks, and looked back at the man who was still kneeling on the ground.
"In addition, tell Nangong Ling for me that I won't play with him anymore. Didn't he say that I am not worthy of the position of princess? Then I, the girl, should be more generous and give it to the witty girl. I wish him both well.
A bastard paired with a dog will last forever."
The man was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. When he raised his head, he saw Feng Jiuqing walking out of the prison.
She originally thought that there would be many guards outside, and it would take a lot of effort to escape, but Feng Jiuqing did not expect that except for the two guards, there would be no one outside.
At this moment, the sky was getting dark, and the cold wind blew past my face, bringing with it a bit of chill.
Feng Jiuqing frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
According to the memory of the original owner, she did not go to the back door, let alone the front door. Instead, she walked to a remote courtyard wall and saw a big tree on the side. She climbed up and sat on the wall. Feng Jiuqing looked into the distance.
, an inexplicable complexity arose in my heart.
The reason why she did not go through the front and back doors was because she felt that if Nangong Ling found out that she had escaped, he should send someone to the front and back doors as soon as possible.
According to time calculation, Nangong Ling should have arrived the moment she escaped from the dungeon, but after so long, there was no movement from Nangong Ling, and the direction of the dungeon was so quiet that nothing happened, as if she was alone
Singing a one-man show.
Or...it doesn't matter if Nangong Ling heard the news that she died of poisoning!
As soon as this idea came up, Feng Jiuqing felt a sharp pain in her heart, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Pressing her heart, she felt that she really hated herself because of that mouthful of blood. She didn't care about why her heart hurt, nor did she wonder why Nangong Ling hadn't come to the dungeon for so long. Feng Jiuqing walked from the wall of the courtyard.
Jumped down...
But what Feng Jiuqing didn't know was that Ruyi Pavilion had already been in trouble.
Feng Shengyi and the first-class imperial doctor stood helpless outside the hospital, looking up from time to time into the room, where the cries of cicadas could be heard.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to make the decision for my young lady. As a disciple of Yaowang Valley, she has never failed to fulfill her mission."
"Sometimes the young lady would use her own money to provide medical treatment to the poor. This time I followed the prince back to the capital. I didn't expect that she would end up causing harm. If I had known this, I would not have let the young lady follow the prince to the capital even if I died!"
"Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to Yu'er!"
Nangong Ling's low voice sounded in the room, and a hint of chill could be heard.
"How could a good person be poisoned?"
Feng Shengyi looked at the butler aside, but before the butler could speak, a guard hurried into the yard and knelt down.
