Translator: Sissy That Walk
Luo Qianqian swore she had fought the guards desperately but to no avail.
She was still learning from Master Lingtian, so she couldnât sweep away the enemies like she had expected.
The guards grabbed Luo Qianqian and sent her to the Maximum Security Prison.
Luo Qianqian couldnât help but get emotional, âI must be the most pathetic Female Lead who has transmigrated! I just sent a villain to the prison and I myself turn out to be the next one who is going to prison!â
But luckily, our Female Lead Luo Qianqian was good at comforting herself, âWell, I better take things as they come, the empress dared not to kill me, then thereâs nothing to worry about. Plus, Murong Yun will notice I am missing and Iâm sure he will find me soon.â
And in retrospect, she kept blaming herself for being so reckless and got caught by the empress.
Luo Qianqian was surprised to find Princess Ninth was in the adjacent cell.
Princess Ninth was surprised to see Luo Qianqian in the beginning then she laughed hysterically, she stammered in spite of her swollen face, âHahaha, Luo Qianqian! This serves you well! You are caught as well! If Iâm going down, you are going down with me!â
Silence.
âI am talking to you! Quit ignoring me! Who sent you here? The empress! I knew it, the empress is avenging me!â
Silence.
âTalk to me! Is it the empress?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luo Qianqian ignored Princess Ninth, she felt sorry for the girl, she didnât have the heart to tell the girl the empress didnât care for her at all. Plus, she couldnât be bothered to get involved, so she kept silent.
It was getting dark, soon the prison guards started to distribute dinner, which was a bowl of sour porridge and a steamed bun as hard as a rock.
There were many prisoners who were kept in this special prison, the guards treated them equally without regardless of their status.
âDinner time!â the guards started to distribute food and the detainees devoured ravenously like the food were delicacies.
Unfortunately, three lean meals were the only food available in prison, plus there were some detainees would be deprived off three meals if they had offended the guards, that was why they were all devouring ravenously.
Princess Ninth had some pastry before Luo Qianqian locked her up, so she wasnât starving.
âAre those edible?â Princess Ninth snorted on seeing the food. Then she sat on the haystack in her cell, staring at Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian was starving, she didnât eat anything the whole day, but she didnât have appetite seeing the food.
Her cell was close to the guardsâ table, she could see the guards were having a feast, there was even wine.
Luo Qianqian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she was drooling⦠â¦
She withdrew a wallet from her sleeve, it was Murong Yun who had put that wallet in her sleeve for emergencies.
âHaha, an emergency like this one.â
Luo Qianqian withdrew a silver ingot from the wallet, âHey, brother!â Luo Qianqian shouted.
The guards had noticed her as soon as she set foot on the prison, now a guard trotted towards her, âWhat can I do for you, young lady?â
Luo Qianqian stuffed the silver ingot into the guardâs hand, âBrother, can I join you guys for dinner, please?â
The guard fiddled with the big silver ingot and beamed, âSure, of course you can!â
Princess Ninth shouted, âWait! I want to join you guys too!â
The guard didnât spare a look at Princess Ninth, he walked towards Luo Qianqianâs cell and unlocked her door. Luo Qianqian walked out, the guard offered her a stool by one side of the table. Luo Qianqian and the guard sat by one side of the table, the other two guards were seated opposite.
Princess Ninth kept yelling, âIâm Princess Ninth! Iâm talking to you, donât play dumb with me, unlock me now! Iâm hungry!â
Princess Ninth had already rubbed the guards the wrong way by throwing a big tantrum when she was first locked up, the guards retorted, âQuiet! Who cares you are a princess or imperial concubine! You are a prisoner once you are here! I just have distributed you some food! Quit making a scene now!â
Luo Qianqian burst into laughter on hearing the harsh remarks, she was glad she was this beautiful now, the guards seemed to like her and her personality.
Luo Qianqian dived in and she even had a cup of wine, she dared not to drink a lot for she didnât want to so anything stupid under the influence of alcohol.
âDid you enjoy the food?â the guards asked nicely, they treated Luo Qianqian like a friend instead of a prisoner, they hadnât even asked her how she ended up in jail.
âCourtesy demands reciprocityâ, thought Luo Qianqian, she was nice to whoever was nice to her, âYes, thank you so much.â
âIs there anything else we can do for you?â asked a guard.
âIt looks like they are in no rush to lock me up, hmm, Iâm sure Murong Yun will notice Iâm missing, itâs just a matter of time before he breaks in and saves me. Why not have some fun while waiting then.â
âDo you guys have dices?â
The three guards exchanged a look, âYes, but why?â
A bright smile crossed Luo Qianqianâs face, âDo you guys have money on you?â
They exchanged one more look with confusion, âYes we do.â
âSounds good, letâs play dices, whoever loses need s to drink. Come on, come on, be a man and play with me!â
âGreat! We will play with you!â
Luo Qianqian and the guards started to roll the dice.
On the other hand, Princess Eleventh had woken up, and Murong Yun indeed had noticed Luo Qianqian was missing.
Lvluo was worried sick, she dared not to look at Murong Xue in the eye, âIâm so sorry, this is all my fault, I should have followed Her Highness and kept an eye on her! Iâve looked everywhere, but I couldnât find Her Highness.â
Murong Xue just woke up, she got all riled up on hearing that, âWhat? My sister-in-law is missing?â
Lvluo knew it wasnât time to defend herself, she just wiped her eyes and said, âIâm so sorry, this is all my fault.â
Murong Yun, Su Liancheng and Lin Zimo are all lost in thought.
No way would Luo Qianqian just disappear, she asked Lvluo to deal with Princess Ninth and she left for somewhere else, she didnât come back to see us. Obviously she was occupied by something else, what could that be?
