Want to win the palace fight? Better to be crazy than to be idiotic!

An incident that happened at noon today has caused unrest in several places in the palace.

It was already late at night, and the huge palace was shrouded in darkness, but there were still a few palaces with lights on. Standing on the eaves of the high building and looking down, it seemed as if there were scattered stars scattered in the world.

The gorgeous glazed tiles glowed softly in the faint moonlight, silently telling the secrets in the palace that had yet to be unraveled.

In Lifang Courtyard, Wang Qian was holding Xiuzhe's hand with concern, and said to her earnestly: "In this harem, undercurrents are surging, and everyone is deceiving each other. I was on guard and almost lost my life. Fortunately, Empress Shuo saved me, but maybe it won't be the same next time. What happened today must be strange. You must be careful and don't let the evil people take advantage of it again." Xiuzhe also promised with tears in his eyes: "From now on, I will stay with my master all the time."

In Chitang Garden, Wu Jiayan looked at the red wood bottle cabinet that had been turned over and fell into deep thought. The servants would definitely not touch her things easily, so the only people who could see the secrets were the powerful people who had the right to enter and exit Chitang Garden, and the Empress Xian who was punished yesterday. Wu Jiayan unlocked a secret lock of the cabinet, opened the drawer, and found that the green jade phoenix hairpin was lying in it intact, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a false alarm, she was still scared and sweated, and her heart palpitated and she couldn't sleep.

Outside the Yongning Palace, Hua Tangdi called Lin Xiuqing a "hypocrite" and Lin Xiuqing called Hua Tangdi a "real villain". Yu Liu and Xin Ye exchanged glances, and the sound of electric sparks could be faintly heard in the air. The guards looked at each other in silence, wondering if the quarrel between the two would disturb the emperor.

In Yongning Palace, Qin Feng'an was overwhelmed by the inexplicable case. At this moment, all the close ministers had gone home after get off work, and he could not discuss with anyone, so he could only be alone in the palace with a sad face. What was even more worrying was that he had clearly sent Hua Tangdi and Lin Xiuqing to kneel outside the palace as punishment, but he could still vaguely hear the two of them swearing trash outside, which made him unable to calm down at all.

In Mingde Hall, Wang Qian resigned, and Han Tan, who worked with Han Shuang, took on the responsibility of assisting the poetry competition. He took over Wang Qian's work at night, and had to present a complete plan to the Queen Mother tomorrow. Han Shuang accompanied the Queen Mother and advised her to worry less about the former court and the back garden, and not to worry about Concubine Wang. Han Shuang said that maybe she was not harmed by others, but just made a mistake. The Queen Mother looked at her with contempt, and continued to pace back and forth in the hall, without the appetite for tea, food, or sleep.

The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Censor of Supervision, and the Judge of the Dali Temple did not go to bed early tonight. The emperor personally ordered them to supervise the case and give the result within two days. It was simply a death sentence! They either worked overtime and buried their heads in the case files to find clues about the empress's jade seal; or they walked around Chengxin Lake with lanterns in the middle of the night, trying to find some clues.

However, Su Feiran, who was at the center of the vortex, was eating and drinking well and sleeping soundly in the prison. When he woke up, he didn't know that there was a man.

In fact, people in ancient times always had some misunderstandings about Tianlao. The name "Tianlao" was always portrayed as a gloomy and terrifying place in the story books. It was always where the most vicious prisoners were imprisoned, and therefore it was guarded by the most powerful guards.

In fact, those horrible words are more appropriate to describe the dungeons of the ancient dynasty. No matter how serious the crimes committed by ordinary prisoners are, they will only be sent to the dungeons. The dungeons are in the deepest part of the Dali Temple. They are cold and damp, and there is no sunlight all day long. The thick stone walls are like a cold beast, isolating all sounds from the outside. Only the sound of dripping water echoes in the silence, spreading endless despair.

According to the description of the prisoners who entered the dungeon and were later rescued by a nobleman: Once entering the dungeon, the winding narrow corridors can crush the prisoners' will. Several weak oil lamps are inlaid on the walls on both sides, making the entire prison look like a ghostly place. The air is filled with a nauseating smell of decay and mildew, and the prisoners have to stay in this environment for who knows how many days, and even the strongest people can hardly survive. The prison doors are all made of heavy iron. Even if the strong men of the ancient dynasty hit the prison doors with all their strength, they will only make the iron chains and locks on the doors make a low friction sound.

Entering the dungeon, hay scattered on the wet ground became the prisoners' only bed. The iron window was so narrow that only a ray of sunlight could penetrate, not even illuminating the prisoners' eyes. The prisoners in the dungeon all had haggard faces, dull eyes, and ragged clothes. They were bound in cold cells with ruthless chains, as if they had been forgotten by time in this dark abyss.

For most people, the dungeon is the closest place to the underworld that the living can reach. In this darkness, the hopes and dignity of countless people have been ruthlessly crushed, leaving only the extravagant hope for freedom and the thirst for life.

People had heard a lot about the dungeon, so they always thought that the sky prison was similar, or even better. After all, the sky prison was located directly in the imperial city, and was more heavily guarded than the dungeon.

However, without a solid background, no matter how serious the crime, the prisoner would not be qualified to enter the Tianlao, so most people's conceptions of the Tianlao scene are unfounded.

The real Sky Prison is a million times more comfortable than the Underground Prison, because most of the prisoners here are royal relatives and important generals, and their crimes are mostly related to government affairs. Before the crime is confirmed, the warden and the jailers must treat the prisoners in the Sky Prison well. After all, if they can regain their freedom one day, they may still be prosperous, and it is possible to help them out of the friendship in prison.

Su Feiran was one of the nine concubines. She was carrying clues to the lost Queen's seal and had connections with Lin Xiuqing and Qin Fengan, so it was natural for her to move in.

The cell where Su Feiran stayed was called "Qingxinju".

It was called a cell, but it was actually a solid room. The surrounding walls were made of thick blue bricks, and there were several tall windows on the walls. The sun shone through the window lattices, making the room bright and warm. There was no trace of dampness or mildew in the air, but instead it was filled with a light sandalwood scent, which made people feel peaceful.

The room was covered with soft carpets and the bed was covered with clean quilts. Although simple, it was extremely comfortable. There was a small table next to the bed, on which were placed pens, inkstones, and paper for the prisoners to write down their thoughts. A few pots of green plants were dotted around, adding a bit of vitality and elegance to keep the prisoners from getting bored. There was a copper lamp in the corner, which was lit by the jailer every night, emitting a soft light in the dark night.

The prison was not only well decorated, but the three meals a day provided to the prisoners were carefully prepared by the imperial chef. Although there was no meat or fish, they were light, delicious, and nutritionally balanced.

Su Feiran was previously escorted into the prison. Along the way, she saw prison cells called "Qingxinju", "Jingxinju", "Yangxinju", "Dingxinju"... She sneered at them at the time, wondering how a prisoner could calm down. After moving in, Su Feiran realized that Qingxinju lived up to its name, and its comfort level was comparable to that of a five-star hotel, allowing her to sleep until most of the night.
