Chapter 361: Don’t interfere with men’s matters
Within the imperial edict.
The environment was dark, and even if the lights were on, they wouldn't be able to illuminate every corner of the prison.
Tao Wanyin was originally waiting at the door. She happened to meet Duan Mingfeng who was coming to handle the case. She knew that the emperor had transferred the power to hear the case to him.
She asked without any hope, but she didn't expect Duan Mingfeng to agree to her.
When did this cold-blooded Master Duan become so reasonable?
With a face full of shock, Tao Wanyin led Chang Lu in from the main entrance, and followed Duan Mingfeng with the people from the Warden Department.
She looked carefully at every prison she passed on the road, and was so frightened by the half-disabled and dying prisoners inside that her face turned pale.
Because the faces of these people, in her heart, all turned into the appearance of King Yong.
Tao Wanyin's voice was trembling: "Master Duan, where is the prince?"
Duan Mingfeng's tone was as cold as the prison, and he said: "The prince is in the innermost place."
Tao Wanyin heard that people who committed serious crimes would be in deeper prisons.
The further inside, the louder the cries and hoarse begging for mercy became. Tao Wanyin stumbled due to weak feet, but the warden beside her helped her.
Duan Mingfeng's footsteps didn't pause at all, and he didn't even look back.
Finally, he stopped at the innermost side of the prison.
Tao Wanyin followed, and in front of her was a black iron door with a lot of rust.
Duan Mingfeng stood still and said: "Key?"
The warden hurriedly handed over a bunch of copper keys on his waist.
Duan Mingfeng glanced at him and ordered: "Open."
The jailer below took it with a look and unlocked the door.
After entering, Tao Wanyin saw an empty prison, with only a narrow straw mat for one person to lie down on, and scraps of rough rice on the floor.
The person inside was not on the straw mat, but lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
Even standing here, Tao Wanyin could smell the rancid smell mixed with the smell of medicine.
Duan Mingfeng said gloomily: "Princess Yong, please."
Tao Wanyin looked at the person lying on the dirty cement floor and covered her mouth in disbelief. Why did King Yong become like this? Her ears kept ringing. She bit her thumb and used pain to stimulate her to prevent her from fainting.
But he couldn't hold back his tears and murmured softly: "Your Majesty."
Duan Mingfeng didn't even notice such a small sound, but someone who was sleeping soundly heard it.
He looked at the door in confusion. The main door of the cell had opened at some point, and there stood the person he held in his arms in his dream.
"Wan Yin?"
Someone was calling her, and it was the voice of King Yong.
Tao Wanyin put down her fingers and looked fixedly at the prisoner facing her. He was lying motionless on the ground with no sign of speaking.
"Wanyin?! Why are you still here!"
The sound was much louder and exciting.
Duan Mingfeng pointed to her left side.
Tao Wanyin's eyes then turned to the innermost part of the prison, the place that she subconsciously ignored and was so bright that it didn't look like a prison.
It was also a prison, but this one had soft bedding and pillows. There were a lot of food and drinks on the square table, and everything was available. It looked more like an inn.
Zhao Minghong jumped out of bed, his eyes brighter than the night pearl beside his pillow.
"Wanyin, come here."
Tao Wanyin ran over without caring about her manners anymore.
Zhao Minghong saw her running and shouted: "Don't run! Be careful, there's no need to rush!"
Even though the layout inside didn't look like a prison, the two of them were still blocked by the cold railings outside.
Tao Wanyin looked at him from his hair to his feet. "My lord, are you okay?"
Zhao Minghong's eyes briefly left her and faced the person standing at the door.
"Please also ask Mr. Duan of the Imperial City Envoy to step aside. When we meet as husband and wife, we have some personal things to say, which are not suitable for outsiders to hear."
Duan Mingfeng glanced at King Yong emotionlessly, then turned and left.
The warden's people stayed at the door and continued to guard it.
Zhao Minghong turned his head and looked at Princess Yong in another way, with a smile that was warmer than candlelight.
"Okay, very good. Look, there's everything inside."
After entering the prison, his worries were relieved. Emperor Wu Su still kept an eye on him, and the detention was only for outsiders to see.
King Yong didn't feel the danger of being in prison at all. He touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "It's not good that I can't see you."
Tao Wanyin's eyes were getting redder and redder. Zhao Minghong wanted to make her happy, so he said: "No, no, now that I see you, everything will be fine."

After being frightened and seeing that he was safe, Tao Wanyin relaxed and tears instantly washed down her face.
"Don't cry, Wanyin."
Zhao Minghong panicked and wanted to reach out his hand and wipe away the tears on her face.
But the gap in the railing was too small, and with the size of his hand bones, he couldn't get out no matter what.
Tao Wanyin lowered her head, held back her tears, took out the handkerchief she carried with her and wiped them dry. Then, she pretended to be as if nothing had happened, and when she raised her head, she had regained her composure. At least there was nothing wrong with her appearance.
"Even if the prince does not care about others when doing things, he should also cherish himself. I heard that the queen mother fainted from anxiety when she learned that the prince was imprisoned in prison."
"Mother Queen She"
Zhao Minghong said: "When I go out, I will go to say hello. You don't want to go to Cining Palace."
The Queen Mother would not look down upon her daughter-in-law, and King Yong did not want her to go.
Tao Wanyin said: "I won't go, I won't go anywhere, I will go back to the palace now."
Zhao Minghong agreed: "Go back quickly, this prison is not a place for you."
Tao Wanyin did not move, stared at his face, and asked: "When will the prince come back?"
Zhao Minghong glanced at the prison on the right, frowned and said: "The old man's life has been saved. I can go back after the emperor's anger subsides."
The person lying on the ground is Su Fengyue.
King Yong was sent to prison because he was tortured excessively. Tao Wanyin asked: "Why did the prince treat Su Xiang so cruelly?"
Zhao Minghong replied: "Even if I don't like him, an old man still wants to steal my Zhao family. It is a heinous crime!"
"Yes, but it can't."
When Tao Wanyin thought about what Chang Lu said, she felt that King Yong was too cruel.
The use of Ling Chi in palace torture was a torture that was unheard of in history books, and the target of the torture was the former prime minister of the dynasty.
Such a person is his pillow person.
Zhao Minghong can accept everything now, but he can't stand the slightest contempt on Tao Wanyin's face.
Even if it was only slightly, his heart hurt.
Zhao Minghong stopped laughing and drove her away.
"What can't you do? Don't interfere with men's affairs. Go back to the palace as soon as possible."
Tao Wanyin was stunned by his ferocity and slowly turned around and left.
But before he could reach the door, the person lying down in the prison suddenly made a sound, a crackling and hoarse laugh, which was particularly frightening in the prison.
