Chapter 537: A Woman Who Will Die Oneself

Mingxuan sat in a simple and low-key blue sedan chair, with only Xiao Zhao, her personal maid.

The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The guards at the gate stood guard like iron towers.

Xiao Zhao stepped forward to explain his purpose, revealed the identity of his master, Princess Lu, and took out two ingots of silver, so he got the opportunity to go in and visit Yizhuxiang.

Although King Lu committed a serious crime, he was a prince after all, so he received certain preferential treatment and was locked in a relatively clean and quiet single cell.

Ming Xuan followed the jailer to the front of the cell, and saw Zhao Yuanqi sitting on the edge of the wooden table.

Zhao Yuanqi's clothes were dirty, his hair was disheveled, and his beard was unshaven.

Ming Xuan could hardly connect him with the unrestrained and handsome Prince Lu from before.

Ming Xuan handed over a piece of silver to the jailer, and said softly, "Please."

The jailer took the money and said, "This is a serious criminal, madam, please be careful. Don't let him hurt you."

"It doesn't matter."

"Okay, you go in." The jailer opened the lock, "Don't delay too long, it's a stick of incense time. I can't explain it if it's too long."

"Not long."

Ming Xuan pushed open the cell door and walked in.

The cell was fairly clean, but there was a cold, musty smell that hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

Zhao Yuanqi heard footsteps, raised his head, and looked at her.

She was dressed in a grand and formal manner, and her makeup and hair accessories were all meticulous.

Of course, she was originally an elegant and talented lady from the Hou family.

Zhao Yuanqi looked at her, as if discovering her beauty for the first time.

"My lord, I'm here to see you." Ming Xuan put the food box in her hand on the low wooden table, her voice was soft, "My lord has suffered a lot during this time."

Zhao Yuanqi withdrew his gaze and said softly, "It's hard for the princess to come to see me. I thought you hated me."

Mingxuan opened the food box, put the food on the table, and said: "How can I hate the prince, since I married the prince, this is the fate of the concubine. I will never complain about anything."

Zhao Yuanqi felt a little ashamed in his heart. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "If I had known today, I shouldn't have married you. You have been implicated for no reason. Don't worry, I will write you a letter of reconciliation, you Go back to Hou Mansion and marry again later."

Ming Xuan paused for a moment with the hands holding the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "What did the lord say? Since ancient times, women have always paid attention to women. Since I have become Princess Lu, it is impossible for me to marry someone else."

"You are still so young, it is pitiful to be a widow all your life."

"I still want to ask the lord, about the younger sisters in the mansion, what does the lord think about their fate?" Ming Xuan asked softly.

Zhao Yuanqi thought for a while and said: "If they want to leave, let them leave as they please. If they don't want to leave, there are still some field jewels in the mansion, let them share some with each other to live on."

He raised his face and looked around, feeling disheartened: "It is impossible for this king to leave here in this life."

"I understand." Mingxuan arranged the dishes neatly, "These are all dishes made by my own hands, my lord has a taste."

Zhao Yuanqi glanced at the table, picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of meat in his mouth, chewed for a while, and nodded: "The princess's craftsmanship is very good, I didn't know it before."

"My concubine made some snacks for the lord, I think the lord forgot." Ming Xuan said calmly.

Zhao Yuanqi remembered that when she went to meet him in the study that day, she did bring some snacks. But then he only ate what the concubine brought.
