Chapter 25 I am willing to bear all the responsibility for life in prison.
After hearing Su Xing's words, Eunuch Gao was too frightened to look at His Majesty's face.
Luan Yunye turned around and took a step. He wanted to see Lin Jian immediately, but suddenly he stopped, clenched his fist with his hand under his long sleeves, and after a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Then let him stay in prison, and no one is allowed. Visitation."
"Yes." Eunuch Gao turned his head to look at the medicine and brown sugar cake in the hands of the maid, and asked, "Your Majesty, this medicine and food..."
Luan Yunye said: "Give him the medicine, feed the cat."
Eunuch Gao answered "Yes", and ordered the palace servants to take medicine and brown sugar cakes and run to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice by himself.
Of course, the brown sugar cake was not fed to the cat, not to mention the fat cat that Lin Jian had raised so picky that it only ate meat and would never eat brown sugar cake. Just talking about Luan Yunye's angry words, if he took Lin Jian seriously I was hungry, and in the end it was me who was unlucky to be investigated.
Eunuch Gao had always followed the emperor around, and this was the first time he was in the prison cell. He was guided down a long and narrow underground corridor by the prison guards.
It was cloudy and cold underground, and Eunuch Gao couldn't help shivering.Seeing the darkness at the other end of the door, I couldn't help asking: "Where is this place? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
It was the first time for the jailer to receive Eunuch Gao at any time, and he also knew that this was someone close to His Majesty, so he did not dare to be careless, so he immediately unlocked the door, invited Eunuch Gao in, and replied:
"Just now, what Eunuch saw along the way were only ordinary prisoners. Here, there are serious criminals who need to be guarded more carefully. The people that Eunuch wants to see, after our Master Shangshu took over, we dare not be sloppy at all, and we will absolutely guard them strictly. .”
Eunuch Gao glanced at the jailer, and said indifferently: "Then you lead the way."
The jailer led Gao Gonggong along the dark and cold corners, only the dim light hanging on the wall could barely distinguish the road. Here, it's time to get angry.
At the end of the passage, there is another row of dense and neat iron fences. This time, the inside of the fence is no longer pitch black, and there is a not-so-bright lamp on.
The jailer opened the door and invited Eunuch Gao to go in: "This is it, Eunuch, please."
The door frame was a little low, and Eunuch Gao could only pass through by lowering his head. When he entered the door, he saw Lin Jian wearing plain single clothes, kneeling on the bare bed board, holding a gray rag in his hand, bending over to wipe it carefully. On the wooden plank on the bed.
The basin of water in hand had been polluted by dust and turned gray-black.
Hearing someone come in, Lin Jian turned his head to take a look, and smiled at Eunuch Gao.
"Oh, how could you do such a thing?" Eunuch Gao quickly asked the palace servants to take the rag from Lin Jian's hand, "Let them clean it up, sit down and eat."
Lin Jian put down his work and moved a stool to Eunuch Gao himself: "Please sit down too, I just wiped the table and chairs."
Eunuch Gao looked down at the rough and dusty old wooden stool, which had been wiped with water for countless times, but there was not even a trace of dust. Instead of sitting down, he just stood aside and sighed sadly: "This is really, You are suffering so much."
Lin Jian sat down by himself, consciously picked up the medicine on the table and drank it in one gulp.Glancing at the brown sugar cake on the table, she didn't move.Although his mouth was a bit bitter, Luan Yunye always told the sweets to have the same properties as the medicine, and it would take half an hour to eat the sweets, so Lin Jian held back and didn't touch the brown sugar cake.
"How can I live here..." Eunuch Gao looked at the three cold and towering stone walls, and there were no windows, only one fence, but the outside was also pitch black.In addition, it is located underground, so it is very cloudy and cold.
There was no tablecloth on the table, no cushion on the stool, and no bedding on the bed. Eunuch Gao frowned and said, "There's nothing here..."
Lin Jian smiled and said, "I just tidied it up a little bit. After cleaning it, I can live in it. It's nothing."
Eunuch Gao glanced at Lin Jian, opened his mouth and was about to speak when he remembered that the jailer was still standing outside, he turned around and said, "You go down first, our family is here to have a few words with him."
The jailer answered "Yes" and turned to leave.
Eunuch Gao glanced at the stool in front of him. Although Lin Jian said that it was cleaned after wiping it many times, the stool looked torn and hard, and he finally sat down. Opened up, he frowned and said to Lin Jian: "Look at this place, where is a place for people to live. Your Majesty is just annoyed with you for a while, and you won't really blame you. Just say something nice to your majesty." .”
Lin Jian smiled and said nothing.
Lin Jian thought to himself, I still have this bit of self-knowledge. I deceived the king and even pretended to pass on the king's order. In addition, the previous war with the Shang country caused the Shang country to suffer heavy losses. One after another, any one of them is a death penalty. How could it be possible that Luan Yunye forgot who he was just because he was favored by Luan Yunye for a few days when he was disguised as a man, and he really expected Luan Yunye to be merciful to him.
It can be resolved by saying a few nice words, how can the matter between himself and Luan Yunye be so simple?No matter how nice what he said, how could Luan Yunye let go of himself, a minister of the enemy country who deceived the emperor and committed crimes? Which of Luan Yunye's ministers would not tear himself apart?
In order not to arouse the concerns of Luan Yunye and those ministers before, he specially wore the ring given by Luan Yunye when he went to the court, to create the illusion that he was really Lin Yueer pretending.Now I'm afraid that Lin Yue'er's identity... I don't know if Luan Yunye intends to put it all on himself, or if he intends to protect the face of the royal family and find another "Lin Yue'er" to come out.
In fact, to maintain the dignity of the royal family, it was very simple to separate Lin Jian from "Lin Yueer", all he needed was to find a reason to put "Lin Yueer" in limbo, and never see anyone again.The officials only cared about whether Luan Yunye had executed Lin Jian. He had enough crimes, and there was one crime of deceiving the emperor. As long as he was dead, who would pursue the relationship between Lin Yueer and Lin Jian.
Lin Jian took off the emerald ring from his index finger, handed it to Eunuch Gao with both hands, and said, "Please return this to Your Majesty."
Eunuch Gao looked at the ring that Lin Jian handed over to him, his eyes widened slightly, and he faltered, "You... this..."
Lin Jian directly stuffed the ring into Eunuch Gao's hand.
Eunuch Gao glanced at the ring that Lin Jian had stuffed into his hand, sighed, and said, "This old slave thinks you are a smart person, why are you so confused?"
Lin Jian thought that Eunuch Gao meant that the ring was of great importance, that he could order the jailer to open the door and escape, and said with a smile, "Ever since I came here alone to negotiate peace, I never planned to be alive, and now I just died a worthy death."
"Your Majesty asked you to bring this." Lin Jian glanced at the brown sugar cake on the table and asked, "Is it to send me off for the last time? Please thank me for me."
Eunuch Gao: ... Where and where are these?
"I'm afraid you have misunderstood..." Eunuch Gao looked at Lin Jian and said, "This is not..."
"I understand." Lin Jian smiled and said, "Why does Your Majesty still miss these things? An Lehou asked you to bring them by the way?"
Hearing Lin Jian mentioning An Lehou, Eunuch Gao hurriedly warned in a low voice: "Don't mention An Lehou in front of His Majesty from now on."
Lin Jian was stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that I have caused him trouble? How will His Majesty deal with him? Please tell Your Majesty for me that I am willing to bear all the guilt. I have no complaints whether it is killing or cutting. Please don't implicate others."
"Oh, you..." Eunuch Gao shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm sorry I can't tell this old servant, but if His Majesty hears this, I'm afraid the anger will be even more irresistible."
"Don't think about it, Your Majesty didn't send this to execute you, but to make you lunch. You stay here, let me tell the old slave if you need anything. The old slave will leave now. "
Lin Jian got up and sent Eunuch Gao out, and when he came back, he went to the table alone, staring at the brown sugar cake on the table, quietly lost in thought.
What is Luan Yunye's intention?It's hard to guess.
What exactly does he want?If it was said that he persuaded himself to surrender in order to deter the surrounding small countries, and to intimidate the Liang country, but he surrendered in public in the midst of his own mistakes, and it has long since lost the value of continuing to use it.The final value now is to use his life to calm the anger of the public and comfort the hearts of the people.
What is he waiting for?What is the meaning of sending this plate of brown sugar cake?
Lin Jian picked up a piece of brown sugar cake and took a bite, it was soft and sweet.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
At night, it was really cold in the cell, Lin Jian lay down on the cold wooden bed, curled up into a ball due to the cold.
This weather can freeze to death.
Suddenly, he missed the night when Luan Yunye warmed his bed.
However, Lin Jian quickly corrected his improper thoughts.Not to mention that he deceived Luan Yunye by disguising himself as a woman, Luan Yunye has no obligation to warm his bed at all.Just say that after Luan Yunye knew the truth, it was too late to get angry, how could he do such a thing?
Lin Jian was lying on his side facing the wall, when he suddenly heard a crisp sound of iron chains on the iron gate.
Could it be... an interrogation at such a late night?
Lin Jian quietly pricked up his ears, and lay still without moving, but only heard a footstep approaching his bed, and there was no other movement, and the cell door was closed again.
Lin Jian thought to himself, since it wasn't an interrogation, since someone came in, could it be - a cellmate?
That Shang country is really big enough, dare to lock up any prisoner with a person from an enemy country like him, so he is not afraid that he will be in collusion with him to plot evil?
Since there was only one bed, the new inmates naturally couldn't let him sleep on the floor. Lin Jian folded his arms and gently moved sideways into the bed.
The inmate was actually a relative, and he could carry a blanket when he was in prison.After the inmate lay down behind Lin Jian, a blanket was thrown back and landed on Lin Jian.
The inmate's warm body temperature came from the blanket, saving the shivering Lin Jian from the brink of freezing to death.
Lin Jian wrapped the blanket tightly in silence, and said softly, "Thank you."
The inmate lay quietly beside Lin Jian without responding.
Lin Jian thought to himself, it seems that he is still a cold-faced and warm-hearted inmate.Although he doesn't talk to himself, he is willing to share a blanket with himself who has never met him before.
What can such a person do?To be thrown into this prison for serious offenders where it is impossible to get out?
But it was the first time we met at night, and the lights in the prison were turned off, so we couldn't see anything clearly, and we couldn't see each other clearly, so it would be too presumptuous to ask directly.Anyway, it's still a long time, and it's not too late to ask again when we meet tomorrow.
Lin Jian fell asleep in the warm blanket wrapped by his inmates, and woke up in the middle of the night from the heat.
The inmate didn't seem to be sleeping well, so he hugged Lin Jian in his arms, his body was still very hot.
Lin Jian pushed the inmate. The inmate seemed to be in a deep sleep.
I don't know why, but this inmate's chest is firm and warm, which looks very much like Luan Yunye.
Lin Jian scolded himself inwardly, unexpectedly he still couldn't forget Luan Yunye at this moment.
Because he was really sleepy, and Lin Jian couldn't push away this inmate who was sleeping badly but was sleeping deeply, so he reluctantly continued to sleep.
After all, when a person is in prison, he can't expect everything to go his way, just make do with it.
Apart from his poor sleeping posture, this inmate is quite a good person. He saved himself who was about to freeze to death when we met for the first time.
Lin Jian'an slept soundly and comfortably all night until he woke up naturally the next day.
The thick blanket was still covering her body, half of which was under her body, forming a warm nest.Under the head, there is an extra fluffy pillow.
With the dim light in the prison, Lin Jian realized that what he was covered with was a clean, white, high-quality woolen blanket, and the pillow was actually made of white fox fur. It looked warm and lovely.
This... just who is this prisoner?
Lin Jian raised his head and scanned the cell for a week. The surrounding area was empty, and there was no sign of any cellmates.
