Chapter 399: I’ll Come Back After Your Reunion Is Over
Translator: 549690339
The Prison of Court of Judicial Review is under the direct control of the Court of Judicial Review. It is a place where criminal officials or other major felons are detained.
It is the highest judicial body in the Great Sheng Dynasty.
The officials of the Court of Judicial Review handed them over to the warden of the Prison of Court of Judicial Review.
The warden is responsible for all matters concerning the Prison of Court of Judicial Review.
Learning that the Princess Consort of Yu was visiting Prince of Yu, the warden showed a good attitude. Holding keys, he led them to the room where Prince of Yu was held.
Along the way, Jiang Ning scrutinized the Prison of Court of Judicial Review, finding that the place was not as gloomy and dirty as she had imagined.
It was just an ordinary row of rooms. What was extraordinary was that all the rooms had iron doors, and there were heavy guards outside the doors.
The warden stopped at a room’s door, spoke to the prison guard at the door, and the guard stepped aside, took the keys, opened the iron door, and pushed it open forcefully.
Li Yuanyuan couldn’t wait and stepped in, calling out, “Your Highness, this concubine came to see you!”
Huang Ying frowned and looked at the Princess Consort. Seeing that she had no expression on her face, Huang Ying restrained herself from giving vent to her anger.
This Li Yuanyuan, she was so disrespectful.
With the Princess Consort present, how could she be so rude?
Jiang Ning was rather composed, “Why don’t I come back after you’ve had your reunion?”
Her voice drifted into the cell, causing Li Hongyuan to pause.
He was originally sitting at a table writing. When he saw Li Yuanyuan running in, he continued writing with an expressionless face until he heard the clear and soft voice from outside.
He put down his pen and stood up.
Walking towards the door.
Li Yuanyuan, thinking he was coming to greet her, walked over joyfully, and was about to bow in greeting, but realized he walked past her…
Past her…
Passed by…
Li Yuanyuan turned around somewhat bewildered, watching him standing at the door, looking down at the woman in the wheelchair.
Seeing Prince of Yu appear, the warden and the prison guard were momentarily nervous, but considering the current situation at the Imperial Court, they regained their composure.
According to the current situation, Prince of Yu should be able to leave soon.
It would be better to curry favor with him earlier.
What if he became the Crown Prince?
This would be accumulating virtue and doing good for themselves.
However, being able to serve as the head of the Prison of Court of Judicial Review, the warden was not a vegetarian either.
The warden said with a smile, “The wind outside is strong. Your Highness and Princess Consort, why not come inside and chat? You can talk as long as you want, with me keeping charge outside, no one dares to interrupt.”
Such beautiful words.
Li Hongyuan specifically looked at him.
The warden had a full face of flattery.
Jiang Ning said, “I’m not in a hurry. Wait for Your Highness and Ms. Li to finish their conversation.”
“Come in,” Li Hongyuan said.
Jiang Ning glanced at Gucheng.
Gucheng then pushed her inside.
Li Hongyuan also looked at Gucheng.
When did a stranger appear by her side?
Jiang Ning surveyed the cell. Though very rudimentary, it was clean- a small bed, table, and chairs.
The bedding on the bed was neatly folded.
Even the small window allowed sunlight to shine in.
Did it add a bit of… warmth to the cell?
Jiang Ning connected this word to the cell in her heart, which was absolutely unrelated.
“It seems quite nice here,” Jiang Ning said.
“If you like it, you can move in to live with me,” Li Hongyuan said.
Jiang Ning gave a rueful smile, “That’s not necessary.”
“This concubine is willing to move in to serve Your Highness,” Li Yuanyuan seized the opportunity to say.
Li Hongyuan gave her a glance, “You, get out.”
Li Yuanyuan:”???”
She understood that the Prince wanted to see the Princess Consort, but wasn’t this a bit over the top?
This was surely a bit too aggrieving.
Jiang Ning said, “Your Highness just sent her away so heartlessly, it’s a bit too ruthless. Today she asked me to bring her to see you.”
“So, it wasn’t you taking the initiative to see me..”
