My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

In the prison, the manager was suddenly annoyed by a burst of sharp shouting!

"What are you shouting for! What are you shouting for! You're not sleeping at night, are you looking for a fight?"

"Brother, I really have no choice! My stomach hurts so much... I can't stand the pain! Ouch... Oh my God, I am dying of pain!"

Lu Zhanyao looked pale, holding his stomach, holding the wooden bars of the prison tightly with both hands, shaking them desperately: "Please be kind and go and inform them... I'm not a death row prisoner, I can't die in pain here!"

The steward glared at him irritably: "There are so many things to do! Lu Zhanyao, do you think you are still the old Lord Lu? We don't care whether you are a death row prisoner or not. Just bear with the stomachache. I have been working for so many years, and I have never seen anyone die from a stomachache!"

"Ouch...it hurts so much!"

Lu Zhanyao's expression suddenly tightened, and then he moved his hand from covering his stomach to covering his butt!

In an instant, an extremely foul smell almost made the steward vomit...

"Oh my God! You must have eaten something bad, and you're holding it in! The smell in this prison is strong enough. If you poop all over the floor again, we, the servants, will be sickened to death by you!"

"Yes, yes! I'm holding it in, holding it in..."

Lu Zhanyao nodded repeatedly, and the steward agreed to find the prison doctor who was in charge of the Tianlao to come and take a look at him.

Seeing the manager leave, Lu Zhanyao took a long breath and a smug smile appeared on his face.

These days, he would pick up raw beans from his meals and eat them every day.

These days, the food for the prisoners in the sky prison is like horse feed, some coarse rice and vegetables, and a handful of beans.

Before the prisoners came here, most of them had been well-dressed and well-fed, and in order to survive they could only barely fill their stomachs with coarse rice and vegetables.

But these raw beans are so fishy that I can’t eat them at all.

Lu Zhanyao asked his cellmates on both sides for beans. They ate three handfuls of beans at one meal, three times a day!

It was only the second day, and my stomach was already bloated and the smell of farts was overwhelming.

After a while, the prison doctor came hurriedly carrying a medicine box.

The manager said disdainfully: "Hurry up and check on Lu Zhanyao, at least don't let him have diarrhea! Ugh..."

The smell of fart was really unbearable, so the manager Huamei turned around and ran away after saying that.

The doctor pinched Lu Zhanyao's nose and felt his pulse. Seeing the steward walking away, he quickly handed him a small packet of medicine powder and whispered, "Take it all at once. It won't kill you."

"it is good!"

Lu Zhanyao quickly put the medicine powder into his arms. After the doctor took his pulse, he turned around and went to find the manager!

"The situation is not good! You should report this to your superiors. Lu Zhanyao's illness is... very serious! If he is not treated in time, he may die! He is not a death row inmate. If he dies here, you and I cannot afford it!"

"He is not a death row inmate, and he has been dismissed from his official position. No one cares about him."

The manager was too lazy to pay attention. People died in the prison every day. Compared to the death of one person, the manager was more afraid of him getting his trouser pockets pulled.

The doctor said, "I advise you not to be so stubborn! This Lu Zhanyao is just a corrupt official who accepted bribes. The emperor raided the Lu residence, and Lord Yu was hanged! Even if the emperor is still furious, what about the empress dowager..."

After the doctor said this, the prison manager thought about it carefully and said, "Yes, I will report it to my superiors. It's not my responsibility anyway, so there's no need to worry."

The next day, Lu Zhanyao fainted in the prison.

When the Empress Dowager learned about this, she thought of Lord Yu's kindness and took the opportunity when the Emperor came to visit her to bring up Lu Zhanyao's matter.

"Your Majesty, Lu Zhanyao did make mistakes, but they are not punishable by death! He was corrupt and accepted bribes, and Your Majesty raided the Lu Mansion. If he were to die in the prison and Lord Yu hanged in his own home, Your Majesty would be too harsh!"

The Empress Dowager's words made the Emperor frown.

"Does the Empress want to release Lu Zhanyao? He is a criminal. I didn't kill him right away because it was his first offense! If I release him from the prison because of his serious illness, how can I justify Qiqi's divorce and her reporting of the Lu family? Besides, how can I face those candidates who were blackmailed?"

"I have also thought carefully about what the emperor said."

The Queen Mother said, "If we release him, it's just to let him find a place to get well and heal! Once he's well, we'll naturally make some arrangements for him! I think it's a good idea to let him make up for his crime... It's better to just send him to a bitter and cold place, even if it means he has to fend for himself!"

The emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Lu Zhanyao was indeed not guilty of a capital crime, and the mastermind behind the embezzlement and bribery was Lord Yu who committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

The main reason why the emperor didn't want to let him go and wanted to kill him was because the Lu family had let Qiqi down...

But according to the laws of the time, Lu Zhanyao would be imprisoned for a maximum of three to five years.

If the emperor imposed a heavy sentence without reason, it would indeed appear, as the Empress Dowager said, that he was too harsh on his former favorite.

The Queen Mother said that letting him fend for himself was not a bad idea.

"Lu Zhanyao!"

In the sky prison, the drowsy Lu Zhanyao vaguely heard the steward calling his name. Then, the wooden door was opened, and someone came in and carried him out like a dead pig!

Lu Zhanyao was overjoyed, but he remained calm and kept his eyes tightly closed.

Soon, he was sent to a deserted house outside the palace, which was a place in the palace where prisoners were treated.

Lu Zhanyao was unconscious afterwards and only woke up after about two days.

The doctor who handed him medicine in the Tianlao was right in front of him. When Lu Zhanyao saw this man, he was overjoyed. He looked around and found that it was indeed not the Tianlao. Then he burst into tears.

"I will never be able to leave that damn place, the Heavenly Prison, in this lifetime! Benefactor...if Zhan Yao really couldn't get up, I would really kneel down to thank you!"

"Lord Lu, you don't need to thank me. I am just following someone else's instructions. Since they have given me the money, I will just do you a favor."

The doctor pushed Lu Zhanyao away and said, "Come on, Master Lu, you are awake now. Just pretend you don't know me and forget about me today!"

After saying this, the man turned and left!

Lu Zhanyao was stunned for a long time. The room was empty and he was the only one left.

He just felt like he was dreaming...

A dream of resurrection from the dead!

Lu Zhanyao fell asleep again, lying on the worn-out wooden bed in a daze. He didn't know how long it had been before he woke up when he heard someone talking outside.

Then the door was pushed open and a blinding light shone in.

He hadn't seen such light for a long time. His eyes were stung and hurt. He subconsciously frowned and raised his arm to weakly cover his forehead...

Two women walked in, obviously a master and a servant.

"you are……"

After Lu Zhanyao saw the person clearly, he felt that he had never seen him before.
