It's been three days, and Concubine Xuan still hasn't woken up. Jin Xin wanted to visit her, but she couldn't go in. No one is allowed in or out of the Yilan Palace, and only the emperor can enter.
Jin Xin could understand that Concubine Xuan was in danger and the matter had not been resolved yet. She could not even go out to other palaces.
I can only ask the people in my palace to keep those mouths in check, and don't allow people to go out and talk too much. I can only do my own thing with peace of mind.
There has been no news from Tianlao so far. Jin Xin also asked someone to ask, and the news back was that everything was fine.
Jin Xin was still worried, so she spent some money to find connections with Xi Chu, and after nightfall, she went to the prison in disguise.
What Jin Xin didn't expect was that Gu Zhao was waiting for her at the door of the prison.
"Empress, I know you are worried. I have already taken care of it for you. The warden here is from my hometown. I spared half a stick of incense. If I have anything to say, please leave as soon as possible." Gu Zhao stepped forward and stood five steps away. He said to her respectfully.
"Thank you, General Gu, for taking the trouble." Jin Xin said gratefully.
Jin Xin really didn't expect that he would be so active in helping her. When it comes to cooperation between them, Jin Xin even felt that it could not be regarded as cooperation at all. She had almost no chance to fight for anything. He had already made the emperor take him seriously. .
Regarding his close friendship with Jiang Quwu, Jin Xin felt that he would not be so positive towards her. Based on the last time he gave gifts at night, Jin Xin could feel that his thoughts were impure.
But he didn't overstep his bounds, nor did he show any thoughts. Jin Xin was puzzled again, wondering what kind of person he was.
But now I can't allow myself to think so much, so I can only go in and see my mother first.
It was really cold in the sky prison. The cold air that hit my face felt even stronger after entering the sky prison. The cold air got into my clothes. There was no way to escape and I felt the coldness soaking into my body.
It’s hard to imagine how difficult the night must be.
Before I even got inside, my eyes were already moist.
An was locked up in a single cell. The floor was covered with weeds. The surrounding environment was really bad. It was full of fishy smell, urine smell, and even rotten stench. Even the cold weather could not cover up these smells. If it is summer, it is very possible for people to die of suffocation.
This Tianlao is indeed the place with the heaviest punishments. Even if there is no punishment, the environment alone can make people feel heartbroken.
Anshi crossed her arms and paced back and forth inside. She was treated very well here. At least there were braziers on both sides to keep warm.
But the cold was too strong, so I had to move around more to keep it from being so cold.
Hearing the noise, Anshi looked towards the way she came and saw Jinxin walking in the clothes of a young eunuch. Anshi recognized Jinxin at a glance and was surprised. Jinxin hurriedly shushed her to stop talking. Anshi hurriedly Cover your mouth.
Across a cell door, Jin Xin saw An's clothes were thin and her lips were blue and blue from the cold. When she clasped her hands together, Jin Xin couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
"Mom, how are you these days?"
Anshi hurriedly forced out a smile and said, "Very good. You can eat well and sleep well here. Don't worry too much about me. I believe the emperor will find out the truth and let me out."
Jin Xin sobbed, but her heart ached.
"It's me who has caused you trouble. You are still suffering this at such an old age. It's me who is useless, so useless." Jin Xin choked with sobs.
"Don't talk about yourself like that. It's obviously me who has caused you trouble. If I hadn't entered the palace, this wouldn't have happened. If I had known, I wouldn't have given you the clothes."
Jin Xin sighed, "You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief in a thousand days. If I had been more vigilant and not so careless, this wouldn't have happened."
Anshi didn't want her daughter to blame herself so much. Now that things were like this, she could only wait for the emperor to find out the results. She immediately smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Now that you have seen that I am fine, you can feel more at ease and don't come again." , so as not to make the emperor suspicious of you."
Jin Xin smiled bitterly and didn't want to say anything more, so she asked people to bring over everything she had prepared.
"This is a thick coat. Mother put it on quickly. Here are fleece boots and kneepads. These are all warm. There is also a thick quilt."
An looked at these things and was pleased that Jin Xin thought of her like this, but she pushed them back and said, "Take these things back. I am being held here. If I am not sentenced, it is because of the Emperor's mercy. Don't Bring me these things again, you are being stared at now, I can't bear the cold, I can't be hungry here, I can still live a comfortable life, if the emperor knows about it, your life will definitely be difficult."
Jin Xin should not be so worried and anxious. She doesn't know how long she will have to wait, or even whether her plan will succeed. Her mother is older and if she suffers for one more day, she will be in more danger.
"Mother, you are the most important person to me. No matter how much I suffer or how much pain I feel in my heart, as long as I think that my mother is here and healthy, I won't feel the pain no matter how much pain I have. If I can come in, I will definitely have success. There is no way for people to know about this, so don’t be stubborn with me.”
An's helpless, looking at these things, she didn't want to let her daughter suffer anymore for such a trivial matter, and wanted to refuse, but Jin Xin pushed her back, her attitude was a little stronger, "Don't do this, I don't have time, you take it Come on, I'm leaving, I will find a way to save you, don't embarrass yourself, and don't worry."
An nodded, hugged these things tightly, and watched with concern as Jin Xin was pulled out by Cui Gu. Jin Xin looked at her mother reluctantly, but she also knew that time could not be lost.
When they came out to the door, the warden was talking to Gu Zhao. When he saw Jin Xin coming out, the warden walked away to avoid suspicion, pretending not to know that the eunuch was Jin Xin.
"I leave my mother's affairs to General Gu," Jin Xin said bitterly.
Gu Zhao nodded, "I will definitely take care of this matter for you."
Jin Xin smiled gratefully, "I feel guilty for troublesome general. In the future, I will not refuse anyone who needs me."
When Gu Zhao heard this, his heart warmed up and he was also satisfied. He was actually very happy to be able to talk to her calmly like this.
He was happier when he saw that she was fine, not worried about anything, and in high spirits, especially when she was proud, her nobility was so overwhelming that he was bewildered.
His eyes were bright, but he quickly calmed down, still looking at Qingjun calmly, and slightly cupped his hands, "Your Majesty is in a difficult situation now, so you should take care of yourself. I will take care of you here in Tianlao, so you don't have to worry."
Jin Xin thanked her again, and Gu Zhao quickly stepped back, then watched her slowly leave.
Seeing her safely entering the palace gate, he felt a little relieved.
A confidant came up and said to Gu Zhao, "The rumors outside started from the Xiao family. It seems that Concubine Xiao is right in this situation."
"Hasn't Sun Yi found out yet?" Gu Zhao frowned.
The people in the Gozensi are not good people, but he has found out everything over the past few days. How come the people in the Gozensi can't find out.
Either that or the emperor has no intention of pursuing the rumors at all.
That can only be handled secretly by him.
