Chapter 173: Locked in a dungeon

Xiao Yichen nodded, turned away from Ji Lingxue's lonely eyes and said, "You have to check it out."
Evian smiled at this blessed body and said: "Then I will thank the prince for Xue Ji."
Evian's masterful posture made Ji Lingxue very upset. She was really an artificial woman. Maybe Ji Yuqing's death had something to do with her, and she actually pretended to be a good person in front of her.
Feeling unhappy, Ji Lingxue stared at Evian's back with cold eyes.
Xiao Yichen said: "Come on, put Xue Ji in the palace dungeon first, and try again tomorrow." After that, he turned and went out.
The corner of Ji Lingxue's mouth evoked a wry smile, which was expected.
Evian turned and looked at Ji Lingxue worriedly: "Xue Ji, don't worry, I will stare at the prince and handle this matter properly, and I will never wrong anyone."
Ji Lingxue stared at Yi Yun's eyes and said: "Yi Yun...Is Ji Yuqing's death irrelevant to you? There is only a wall between her yard and yours?"
Evian looked at Ji Lingxue inexplicably, "Xue Ji, I kindly intercede for you, how can you doubt me like this? It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing good people." After speaking, the aggrieved flat mouth left.
Ji Lingxue turned to look at Evian's back, and added: "Evian, you are also within the scope of suspicion."
Evian paused, turned his head to look at Ji Lingxue, his lips moved, but he turned away without saying anything.
Ji Lingxue was taken into the dungeon by the guards in the palace. This was the first time she had come to this place. The empty cell, the sound of walking all responded.
Looking at the surrounding environment, the dungeon was dark and the walls on the ground were clean, but Ji Lingxue turned her head and asked the guards around her, "Can this dungeon be shut down?"
The guard said: "It has been closed, and those who come in have never gone out again."
Ji Lingxue: "..."
The guards took Ji Lingxue to the innermost cell, which was also the cleanest one. The cell had all bedding and quilts, and there was also a iron window where you could see the moonlight.
After the guards left, Ji Lingxue huddled her arms in the bedding, thinking about going to enter and exit Ji Yuqing’s house, and filtered the conversation with her. I really can’t think of the purpose of the person behind the scenes in killing Ji Yuqing, just to plant her. ?
What a big move, she was demoted from the palace to concubine Ji. Is this still a hindrance to some people?
The cold wind blew up, the dungeon made a whine, and the sound was strange.
"Master!" A dark song sounded in the darkness, with guilt in his tone.
Ji Lingxue's eyes lit up and said: "Dark Song, you came just right, I'll go to Ji Yuqing's room, are you following in secret?"
Dark Ge was hidden in the darkness, even breathing quietly, "No, the subordinate was called for questioning by the prince at that time. When the subordinate left, the princess was still asleep, but I didn’t expect..." I can't help but run to find Ji Yuqing, but things are in trouble.
Ji Lingxue gave a cry, and did not blame Dark Song for suddenly leaving the post. The situation was a bit unfavorable for her, "The prince told you to go, what did you ask?"
Secretly said: "The prince asked some things about the princess."
Ji Lingxue chuckled softly: "I am not the princess now, don't call me that in the future."
Dark Ge said with a stern look: "In the hearts of your subordinates, you are the only one who can be the princess."
Ji Lingxue smiled bitterly, looked up at the bars above her head and smiled: "I am a princess who should be so vigorously trapped in the dungeon."
Dark Ge cast her eyes down and said, "Don't worry about the princess, the subordinates will investigate clearly. This method is obviously someone planting the princess."
Ji Lingxue chuckled. After Dark Song left, the dungeon returned to quiet. Ji Lingxue counted against the cold wall and fell asleep without knowing it.
Just when Ji Lingxue was asleep, a tall figure stood outside the iron gate and stared at the sleeping Ji Lingxue for a long time.
Knowing that the day breaks, the guard guarding the cell comes in, "Master!"
Xiao Yichen nodded and said, "Take care of Xue Ji, don't make her hungry." After that, he turned and left.
The guard touched his head and muttered inconceivably: "Why did the prince stand outside the cell all night?" As he said, his gaze turned to Ji Lingxue in the cell, Ji Lingxue curled up in the quilt, eyes closed.
The guard shook his head, turned and went back to his post.
Ji Yuqing’s death soon spread to Ji Mansion. Early in the morning, Feng Clan dressed in white and knocked at the gate of Chen Wang Mansion,
My daughter, the death is so miserable. My daughter, the great youth are buried in the mansion. , But the flower season just left me and died...oooooo..."
The two guards guarding the gate of the palace were full of black lines, but they couldn't say anything. Feng Shi had married Ji Baichuan for many years and gave birth to such a daughter. She doesn't know who she favors her daughter. It is indeed pitiful to be bereaved all the time.
Feng's ghost cry and wolf howling suddenly alarmed the pedestrians in twos and threes, and many people stopped and pointed.
The old housekeeper stood in front of the Feng clan full of black lines and said: "Mother-in-law, the prince invites you in."
Feng wiped away the tears, and then sobbed and followed the housekeeper into the living room of the palace. In the living room, Xiao Yichen wore the prince's robe and took the seat of the seat, and saw Feng nodded and said: "The king is also very helpless at the death of Yuqing. Please mother-in-law to mourn."
The Feng family didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Xiao Yichen, and said with courage: "Dare to ask the prince, how did I...my daughter... die?"
As soon as Xiao Yichen raised his hand, the butler immediately handed the corpse list written by him to Feng's. Feng picked up the corpse and her eyes were dizzy. She didn't recognize any of the words on it, but she couldn't pull her face down to ask. He began to cry: "My daughter, my poor daughter, why did you die so miserably? Who killed you? Tell your mother in a dream that she can avenge you..."
Xiao Yichen raised his hand and rubbed his forehead and said: "Mother-in-law's mourning, Yuqing's death, this king will find out the truth and give you an explanation with Ji Mansion."
Feng slapped the corpse on the table with a snap, "Is it Ji Lingxue...Did she kill my daughter?"
Xiao Yichen sternly said: "No, they are sisters, how can they kill each other if they are in love with each other?"
Feng Shi was reprimanded, so scared to stop crying, and she looked at Xiao Yichen innocently with a pair of teary eyes. Ji Lingxue and Ji Yuqing were incompatible with each other. How come they love each other? Xiao Yichen is to maintain Ji Lingxue, what can she say? .
Feng's eyes rolled his eyes and said: "What the prince said is that although the girl Ling Xue had a little trouble with Yuqing, she was also harmonious. I have not seen Ling Xue for some days. I don’t know if the prince can Let the concubine see Ling Xue that girl?"
Xiao Yichen said with a serious face: "Xue Ji has been unwell recently, making it difficult to see guests."
Xue Ji? She heard that Xiao Yichen dismissed Ji Lingxue as a concubine. She didn't believe it at first, but she didn't expect it to be true.
It's just that now that she heard the news that Ji Lingxue was taken down from the court, she was not so happy either. She saved Ji Yuqing's life in everything she did.
Feng nodded, "I want to see Yuqing."
Xiao Yichen nodded and ordered the housekeeper to lead the way. As soon as Fengshi left, a guard hurriedly ran towards the living room. Xiao Yichen stood up when he saw it. He recognized that the guard was guarding the dungeon.
Xiao Yichen asked: "What happened?"
The guard gasped and said: "The prince is not good, the princess... Oh, no, it's Xue Ji who has an accident."
Xiao Yichen frowned. It was because he was worried that someone would be unfavorable to Ji Lingxue, he would be cruelly locked into the dungeon and sent heavy guards to protect her.
The guard said: "Xue Ji seems to be ill. She hasn't dripped water since last night, lying motionless on the bed..."
The guard hadn't finished speaking, only felt a gust of wind in front of him, and Xiao Yichen's figure stayed small.
The guard blinked, the prince was so fast!
In the dungeon, there were occasional drops of water ticking, Ji Lingxue quietly lying on the bed motionless, her face pale, Xiao Yichen stood in front of her, his fingers trembling slightly, and his feet did not dare to move forward, he was so scared, so afraid that his hands would touch It was a cold body.
He has long been accustomed to the warmth from the palm of his hand when he holds Ji Lingxue, he is used to her smile and contented expression in his arms, he is not accustomed to lying there with her pale face, even the deep inner strength he can't hear her. Breathing heartbeat.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, until Xiao Yichen felt that his breathing was getting colder and colder and quickly turned into a piece of ice.
Time seemed to have only passed for a moment, a blink of an eye, a smooth breathing, and a slower heartbeat by two beats.
Xiao Yichen moved forward with a stiff step. He had walked ten steps long enough to reach him in three or four steps. His courage and strength finally returned, his hand trembling and reaching Ji Lingxue's nose.
No breath, why no breath? How could this be? He kept guarding her last night, and no one approached her?
With a flash of inspiration, he suddenly thought of holding Ji Lingxue in his arms and shaking her body desperately: "Ji Lingxue, wake up, don't tell me, are you taking poison?"
His voice was hoarse and weak, and God knew how terrified and shocked he was. How could he forget that Ji Lingxue is good at using poison.
"Did you use this way to prove that Ji Yuqing was not killed by you? This king does not need your life to prove all this. This king has said that you have another hidden feeling in the cold, and you will get better soon. Why don't you believe I?"
He desperately shook Ji Lingxue, who was weak and soft in his arms, trying to wake her up in this way, but goddamn, why did she not react at all?
"Ji Lingxue, how can you die first without the king's permission?" Xiao Yichen's eyes were red when he said this.
Xiao Yichen hugged Ji Lingxue and walked out of the dungeon quickly, while instructing the guards to invite Bai Mo.
The Chen Palace was unusually quiet, and the guards and maids who were working were cautious not to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Bai Mo who was telling Ji Lingxue in the main courtyard.
Xiao Yichen wrinkled and did not look at Bai Mo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with Ji Lingxue's pulse in one hand, and bowed his head silently. From his cold face, he seemed to know the answer.
"Bai Mo..."
Bai Mo raised his head to look at Xiao Yichen, shook his head and said: "This poison is quite weird. The person who takes the poison does not breathe and beats, just like sleeping. What kind of poison is it?"
Xiao Yichen: "This king asked you to save people, you ask this king, how does this king know?"
Bai Mo scratched his head, "This is difficult. According to my many years of experience in medicine, I have never seen this poison. It takes more than six hours to see if she took it..." He turned and patted Xiao Yichen on the shoulder. Something..."
