Chapter 55
: Prison food and food
Looking at Xu Ruyi's delicate white hands, Jing Yu felt unconvinced. He pouted and looked at Xu Ruyi sullenly. He reluctantly put his hand on Xu Ruyi's little hand. Xu Ruyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly,
Carefully helping Jing Yu get out of the car.
When the jailer at the criminal department saw this scene, he naturally muttered in his heart - among the four princesses on the pilgrimage, three were married. Princess Chongning has always been gentle and virtuous, and she treated the prince consort like a guest, Princess Louyang
Arrogant and domineering, the fifth prince-in-law had to talk down to her, but when it came to Princess Zhaorong, the third prince-in-law turned out to be the favored one!
After Jing Yu noticed that the eyes of the people here were different, he suddenly realized that what seemed to him very shameless was actually giving him enough face in front of the Ministry of Punishment.
After a while, someone brought the food over, and Xu Ruyi warned: "Check it first to avoid anything going wrong."
"yes!"
After saying this, several officials used silver needles to test the food in front of Xu Ruyi. After confirming that it was non-toxic, they reported it to Xu Ruyi.
Xu Ruyi whispered to Jing Yu: "Eat with confidence!"
Jing Yu replied: "Are these meals really okay?"
Hearing this, Xu Ruyi picked up the rice spoon and said, "How about I try it first?"
Jing Yu was startled by her words and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't bother me! Don't bother me! I'll just eat it!"
After Jing Yu said that, he picked up the rice spoon and started eating. He originally thought that Xu Ruyi would not risk trying the poison no matter what, but to his surprise, it turned out to be quite delicious!
Xu Ru noticed the way he was devouring his food and warned him: "Eat slowly, there is enough rice."
Jing Yu responded inarticulately and continued to eat.
At this time, Li Yuan also came to the entrance of the criminal department. On the way there, he heard about the loving relationship between the third princess and the third prince-in-law. Li Yuan didn't believe it at the time, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he was immediately shocked.
When Xu Ruyi saw Li Yuan coming over, she greeted him: "Did you see that? He was so angry at home that he refused to eat. He has been hungry for two or three days. Let him have a full meal first. No matter what, he can't talk to his body.
It’s hard to get through, isn’t it?”
In fact, Xu Ruyi was a little confused in her heart - Jing Yu was really not hungry at first, and was so full from eating chicken secretly that he really stopped eating after he left the princess's house.
Little did she know that Jing Yu was worried that something would happen to her, that she would not be able to eat or sleep, and that she would die in less than a year. Jing Yu really couldn't be careless and worried all day long.
Not long after, Jing Yu stopped asking for more after eating two bowls of rice.
Li Yuan took the initiative and said to him: "Third Prince Consort, if you are not full, we can give you two more bowls. We must ensure that the prisoners are fed. In terms of food, we are responsible for ensuring that they are full."
Jing Yu chewed rice in his mouth and replied: "I know that you are provided with food and accommodation, so I would be very embarrassed to give you two bowls of prison food. If you don't charge me for the food, then I can eat whatever I want."
Just two bowls will be enough, how can I take advantage of you?"
Li Yuan: "..."
The truth is true, but why does it sound weird?
After Jingyu finished two bowls of rice, several jailers came over and took away the rice bowls. Looking at the calloused hands of the jailers, Jingyu couldn't help but ask: "By the way, if I eat your rice, what will happen if I eat your rice?"
If there is a problem with eating, do you care?"
Li Yuan knew that the two bowls of rice were definitely not poisonous. If they poisoned the consort in front of the princess, wouldn't they make themselves uncomfortable?
Li Yuan hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Third Prince Consort! We will definitely take care of it! Isn't the princess here too? If something happens, we will definitely not be able to run away!"
After saying that, Jing Yu covered his stomach and frowned, looking uncomfortable.
"Then take care of it now! My stomach hurts a little right now..."
After hearing this, Xu Ruyi hurriedly asked with concern: "Xiao Langjun, are you okay?"
Jing Yu's voice suddenly became hoarse: "Suddenly, my stomach hurts... I want to go to the latrine..."
Li Yuan: "..."
Is he here to blackmail?!
Xu Ru thought that Li Yuan was indifferent and hurriedly scolded: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Take him to the latrine quickly!"
How could Li Yuan dare to disobey Xu Ruyi's order? He immediately ordered the jailer to take him to the latrine. Before leaving, Jing Yu held out five fingers: "There is something wrong with your food. Five hundred taels of silver, please put the matter to rest, otherwise..."
Li Yuan glanced at Xu Ruyi's angry eyes, and quickly agreed: "Okay, okay! Five hundred taels! Five hundred taels! I have designated compensation!"
After Li Yuan spoke, Jing Yu followed the jailer to the latrine calmly.
After burning the incense, the jailer brought Jing Yu back. When he came back, Jing Yu was obviously a little weak. Li Yuan quickly found him a seat so that he could sit still.
Before the interrogation even started, Li Yuan served him like an ancestor. Service alone was not enough, and he also paid five hundred taels of silver in compensation.
Otherwise, Jing Yu would have to go out and tell everyone that he had diarrhea after eating prison food from the Ministry of Punishments.
After he calmed down, Li Yuan waited by the side. The man didn't say anything, and he didn't know whether to take the initiative to ask him.
After all, Jing Yu is the least suspicious among these people.
Just as Xu Ruyi said - if he knew how to poison, his way of revenge would be to poison him to death, instead of just going to fight with others and smashing down the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Jing Yu stabilized for a while, Xu Ruyi took the initiative to talk to Jing Yu: "If you are almost rested, tell Master Li what you know. It's quite hard for Master Li to stand here for a long time..."
After Li Yuan was tortured for a long time, he suddenly heard this and felt the urge to burst into tears with gratitude. He immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your understanding, thank you for your understanding..."
Xu Ruyi then continued: "We still understand this point. Furthermore, the Third Prince Consort has not committed any crime. All he needs to do is describe what he saw at that time. After saying this in a few words, let's go home early. Otherwise, if you wait till night, you might have to pay for two more bowls of prison food! Don’t you think so, Mr. Young Man?"
Jing Yu was caught off guard and choked, and then he said: "Just say it! Anyway, Lin Chengqing and I have only met twice. The first time was when we met the eldest lady on the second day of the wedding. In fact, I really I don’t quite understand. Aren’t foreign men not allowed to enter the harem? Why does he wander around Ci’an Palace every now and then?”
At this point, Jing Yu glanced at Xu Ruyi in confusion, and Xu Ruyi explained: "He is a special case. The eldest lady appreciated his talent very much and allowed him to visit Ci'an Palace often. Of course, only in Ci'an Palace. He is not allowed to go to other palaces in the harem."
