Chapter 1 Rebirth in the Prison
Chapter 1 Rebirth in Prison
Xuancheng in June was filled with continuous rain. A bolt of lightning tore through the thick clouds and illuminated a corner of the prison.
Chu Yingying hugged her knees with her hands, leaned against the cold wall, and stared at the bowl-sized night sky above her head in trance.
She clearly remembered that not long after she became the Crown Princess, she was pierced through the chest with a sword by King Yong who broke into the East Palace. She fell into a pool of blood and gradually lost consciousness.
The heartbreaking pain is still vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday.
But why did he wake up and find himself lying on a broken straw mat in a cell?
Moreover, there are no wounds on the chest, not even a small scar can be found.
In addition, she obviously felt that her body had become much smaller.
Suddenly, thunder exploded in the sky, and Chu Yingying was so startled that she suddenly woke up.
It turns out that she was miraculously reborn!
But why did I return to this year?
At this time, she had just turned fifteen years old. A year ago, she was tricked into burglarizing a house, but she was caught and was labeled as a female snitch and imprisoned.
After hearing the news, my parents were devastated and died of illness two months ago. My only brother ran away with the hard-earned money for atonement, and my maternal grandfather's relatives also ignored me.
She became a lonely, helpless poor person, wandering around like a rootless duckweed, experiencing all kinds of suffering and cold looks.
She struggled all the way and went through hardships until she was nineteen years old. She was appreciated by the prince for her beauty and talent, and gradually ascended the throne of the crown princess. She looked forward to the near future when the prince ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and she became the queen, and her mother
Yitianxia.
But before the sweet dream was over, the bad news came that King Yong had led troops to rebel. The East Palace was brutally massacred, and both she and the prince died.
Everything came to nothing.
Now, she has to walk this difficult road again.
When she thought of this, Chu Yingying couldn't help but hit her head in annoyance.
Looking around, the familiar scene in front of her immediately brought her back to the memory of that year.
There were many prisoners in the dark and damp prison, almost thirty in number.
The cell she was in was located in the middle of the west side. She basically knew the prisoners in the adjacent cells on the left and right, and her faces were familiar even if she couldn't name them.
Most of these prisoners were male prisoners, but there were also two women. There were officials who offered and accepted bribes, some were vicious robbers, some were traffickers, some had committed suicide, and of course there were also some innocent people who had been falsely accused.
In Chu Yingying's impression, there was only one boy who was similar to her age.
But he covered his face with his clothes and hat every day and huddled motionless in the corner.
The two of them had never spoken, and they had never even seen what he looked like.
"Hey, Ying Yatou, what are you thinking about?"
While she was deep in thought, a fat middle-aged man with big ears greeted her through the fence.
Chu Yingying looked up and recognized him at a glance. She shook her head and said, "Uncle Ge, I didn't think about anything."
She remembers it clearly.
This man's name is Ge Chun, he is in his forties. He was originally a wealthy salt and iron merchant. Last year he was caught selling illegal salt and buying an official position, and was sentenced to five years in prison.
Ge Chun had no one else but a lot of money, so he became the leader of a group of prisoners. He spoke with authority, was shrewd and resourceful.
Two days ago, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and sent someone to bribe the chief jailer in the prison privately.
At midnight tonight, he will lead everyone to escape from prison as agreed.
