Mei Kaiye stood there in a daze, opening her mouth but unable to utter a word. She was indeed naive. She shouldn’t have tried to hint to the maidservant to kill Cloud Concubine. Now, she had brought about her own downfall, beyond redemption.
Her entire body was stiff, as if she had lost all sensation, finding it extremely difficult to even move a finger.
Du Gu Ming held her hand, but she didn’t respond. Later, when Mo Yi carried Cloud Concubine away, she remained unresponsive.
Then, Sui Xing sneered, “You’ve gone too far.”
The head guard said, “General, please.” Meaning, go to the imperial prison. Du Gu Ming didn’t look at them but bent down to carry Mei Kai Ye.
Caught in the center of the matter. Mei Kaixia’s body trembled, and she said with a mocking laugh, “Thank you for the Crown Prince’s kindness, although I really want to agree. But, I feel disgusted just looking at you. What can I do?”
Fei Zuo narrowed his eyes, then raised a slight smile, “My lady, this prince advises you not to try to anger me.” He paused, then laughed lightly, “That won’t do you any good.”
Prison Disaster is Not Pleasant (3)
That day, after Fei Zuo spoke, he left. Afterward, someone came every day to ask her meaning. After continuously refusing for more than ten days, she saw Fei Zuo again, and… Mo Yi. Mei Kaixia was tied to a wooden cross, facing the chief examiner, with Mo Yi and Fei Zuo sitting as observers.
“Slap—” The chief examiner hit the hall’s wooden table, “Quickly confess!”
“Pfft…” Mei Kaixia burst into laughter. It was too funny, too funny!
“Audacious demon!” The chief examiner slapped the table again, “How dare you disrespect this official.”
“Lunatic,” Mei Kaixia glanced at him, sneering, “I believe I’ve done nothing wrong, so what is there to confess?
“
“My lord!” Mei Kaixia called softly, a strange light flickering in her eyes. The chief examiner looked up and met those bewitching eyes. Gradually, he seemed to have his soul drawn out, raising his hand to slap himself, continuously saying, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, spare me…”
The prison guards stood stunned, not knowing how to react! It seems the rumors were true.
