Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

Su Qing came to a large house and knocked on the door gently.

The door opened, and two maids silently walked out.

They were dressed as maids, but gleaming weapons were strapped to their waists.

"This is a new resident. Please don't neglect her food, clothing, housing, and transportation."

Su Qing pointed at the princess behind him whose face was a little pale and said.

"Yes."

The two maids responded in unison.

Ji Lanxin felt that her hairs were almost standing on end.

The moment the door opened, she felt a chill on her back.

There was no wind, but I still had this feeling. It was clearly a premonition of danger.

This experience is terrible!

Su Qing didn't care about Princess Xie's expression and directly pulled her in.

It looks ordinary here, but it lacks any signs of life.

The boy came to the study and pressed the mechanism.

There was a rumbling sound, as if two heavy doors were opened.

A staircase leading down appeared.

It was unknown where the stairs led to, but with the eternally burning lamps on both sides, it didn't seem dim.

Su Qing seemed to be unaware of the terrifying atmosphere and walked downstairs holding Princess Xie.

Ji Lanxin's steps became increasingly slow.

Why does the feeling inside seem so similar to the prison I have in my mind?

"Lanxin, what's wrong?"

Su Qing seemed to notice something strange about Ji Lanxin and spoke in a concerned tone.

"Brother Qing, I, I'm a little scared. Can we not stay here?"

Ji Lanxin's hands were on the cold wall, and her voice was trembling.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a little dim here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Didn't I tell you, there are people here to keep you company, so you're not lonely."

Su Qing seemed to sense the princess's fear behind him and comforted her in a soft voice.

I'm not a devil, how can I bear to see my childhood sweetheart alone here?

If she had someone with her, she wouldn't be scared anymore!

As if to confirm his words, an angry voice came from below.

"Evil thief, let me out!"

Along with this sound, there was also the sound of the iron cage shaking very violently.

After hearing this, Ji Lanxin's pupils suddenly contracted.

Now she could finally be sure what a good place was down there.

This is basically a prison!

She had already gone down a few steps, but fear filled her heart and she turned around and ran back up.

But as soon as I had this thought, my hand was suddenly grabbed.

"Lan Xin, didn't you say you would cooperate with me? Why did you react like this?"

"If you break your promise, I'll be in trouble."

Su Qing grabbed Princess Xie's hand and sighed.

I have already arranged for her to live with someone, why doesn't she appreciate it?

A man without faith is not worthy of trust. As a princess, you should understand this principle even more.

"This isn't a place to live, it's basically a prison!"

Ji Lanxin couldn't break free, and her voice was trembling a little.

She had not yet completely descended the stairs and had not seen the scene below.

But considering this gloomy atmosphere and the woman's previous words, it can be inferred.

That’s right, this must be where prisoners are held!

If I were to live in there, wouldn't I become a prisoner?

"Lan Xin, what are you talking about? Would I let you live in that filthy prison?"

"You don't think I'd be happy seeing you looking so dirty and smelly, do you?"

After hearing this, Su Qing let out a sigh.

It looks like he was wronged.

"Brother Qing..."

Ji Lanxin's heart, which had been a little panicked just now, now became a little calmer.

There was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Now that things have come to this, there should be no need for her to lie to herself.

Could it be that I misunderstood, and there really is another world down there?

As for the sound just now, it might be that someone was trying to scare me.

How does the saying go, seeing is believing.

"Let's go."

Su Qing said in a gentle voice.

There was a power in his eyes that seemed to encourage people.

"Ah."

Ji Lanxin responded softly.

She regained her composure, feeling somewhat embarrassed about her behavior just now.

Well, come to think of it, how could he possibly lock himself up in a place like a prison?

I've seen prisons before; the conditions were absolutely terrible.

Not to mention anything else, it won’t take long for a clean person to feel the stench after entering.

How could he make such a decision if he wanted to make me surrender?

What's more, there is no such stinky smell that made people dizzy as the one I had been to before.

The two continued to go down, and Princess Xie's mentality had become much calmer.

But after seeing the situation below, the smile on her face froze again.

"Liuli, I've been having some issues lately, so I came to see you now."

"How's it going for you to be here alone for this period of time? You shouldn't feel scared, right?"

Su Qing came to the door of a prison and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Young evildoer, you are so cruel and mad, you will be punished sooner or later!"

Liuli gritted her teeth, her voice filled with indignation.

I have been caught here for a long time. Except for the people who come to deliver food, it is quiet.

Although she didn't feel scared, she still had some random thoughts.

For example, how would he treat himself?

For example, does he want to lock himself up here for the rest of his life?

For example, would he be so crazy as to let me give birth to his baby here...

People cannot be idle, because when they are idle, they are most likely to have random thoughts.

Especially in the current situation.

"How could I be so crazy? What you said is unreasonable."

"Don't you know that I have a high reputation among other people now?"

"I found you a roommate, and you can chat with each other to relieve your boredom."

After Su Qing finished speaking, he looked behind him.

"Brother Qing, what are you trying to do?!"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't put me in jail..."

Ji Lanxin's voice began to tremble again.

"When did I ever say anything like that? I only said I wouldn't let you live in a dirty prison."

"As you can see, this place is very clean, no different from a normal room."

"The spring water flows directly here. Not only can you bathe frequently, but there's also a place to hang clothes."

Su Qing opened the door of a prison cell and introduced it with a smile.

After coming down the stairs, there are various prisons standing side by side.

It's called a prison, but inside it's actually just a small room.

It has everything you could need, even curtains, screens, and bathtubs.

Unlike a normal room, there was probably an iron door.

This place has been built for who knows how long, and now it has welcomed two residents.

"You, you have set up a private prison! This violates the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty! You are guilty!"

Ji Lanxin's face turned pale, and she turned around to flee this place.

But because his hand was being held, he couldn't break free no matter how hard he struggled.

"What does this matter? I can talk to Aunt Mu about it later."

"I believe she will make an exception for me and give me special treatment."

Su Qing didn't care about these things and said casually.

What's that saying again? Having connections in the court makes things easier.

If the Empress weren't someone the Emperor recognized, he would have wanted her to be the Emperor.

It doesn’t really matter who becomes the emperor. What matters is that you can make things convenient for him at critical moments.

So, now we have to do a lot of cleaning up of this dog.

If you don't clean it up, she will definitely relapse in the future.

Ji Lanxin pointed a finger at him, but couldn't say a word.

Being oppressed by power was indeed a strange thing for this princess.

She had also read about some unjust cases out of curiosity before.

At that time, I just felt a little sad.

But now, she has already understood those victims who were wrongly convicted due to oppression by the powerful.

As a princess, she feels like she has no one to turn to today.

"Lanxin, calm down. It's just a change of environment."

"As long as you get used to life here, it's pretty easy to endure."

Su Qing was very considerate and comforted him.
