The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapters 264. Freeing Pei Zhong Min 1
The residence of the ministers involved in the rebellion was heavily guarded by the royal army. They are not allowed to leave the residence without permission. The servants who wanted to get out were also restricted and strictly checked. In addition, they will also be supervised and escorted out of concern if these servants come out with certain missions from their employers to do prohibited things.
The road around these Houses will be very bleak even though many people pass in front of these Houses. Some of the people living in the capital even purposely to pass around just to see the circumstances. People tend to get curious about other people's affairs as if they were all involved even though in reality, they have nothing to do at all. But when something bad happens, they'll scramble to get away.
"Mother, I don't want to die here." A girl's whining voice rang out from one of the rooms in Chen's residence. One of the ministers involved in the rebellion. The beautiful girl whined by continuously pulling her mother's arm. He began to lose patience with her.
"Be quiet! Shan'er, do you think mom wants to die too huh?" The mother shook her daughter's hand which had been whining ever since they were locked up.
"Mom, then quickly think about how we can escape this punishment." Chen Ling Shan puffed his mouth as he was annoyed.
"You think this is an easy matter? You just see this residence is guarded so tightly by the Imperial guards. There's no way to get away from them."
"Huh! this is first uncle's fault. Why is it that not only the family of the first uncle is punished but all those who have to bear his sins?" Chen Ling Shan clenched his hands tightly as he stomped his feet dislikefully.
"What did you say?" Chen Ling Shan and Liu Wei, his mother turned their heads simultaneously as they heard a voice they were very familiar with that this time sounded cynical no matter how they heard it.
Chen Dan Niu walked towards his son and wife who were sitting in the courtyard. His eyes looked at his son in anger. It made Chen Ling Shan immediately lower his head in fear of the father's anger.
Knowing that her husband was dissatisfied with their daughter's attitude, Liu Wei immediately stood up and hooked Chen Dan Niu's arm while stroking her gently. "My husband, please don't be angry. Shan'er is young. It was only natural that he had a fear of some things. Especially a death."
"Huh! It was you who always defended him. Our daughter is sixteen this year. He's not a kid who should always be defended for his mistakes." Chen Dan Niu snorted. His wife had always spoiled their daughter since childhood so making their daughter was often absurd.
"I know I know. But this time I agree with Shan'er. The first brother made a mistake. We from the second house should not be punished. This is so unfair, right? Shan'er is very young and his future is long."
"We are a family, no matter what. Besides, I heard that the Crown Princess pleaded with His Majesty the Emperor to postpone the sentence until the mourning day for Suri's mother ended. I also heard that the possibility of the death penalty for the whole family will be overturned."
"REally?!" Liu Wei and Chen Ling Shan asked excitedly.
"Yes. I heard the Crown Princess has her own plans. So the punishment will be postponed for a while." Chen Dan Niu nodded his head. He accidentally heard the talk of the Imperial guards guarding their residence.
Hearing that, he could sigh in relief. After all, he was an ordinary human who was afraid of death. Although he knew that if the price to pay for their lives could not possibly be cheap, he was already very excited.
But as he remembered his father, he was worried that his father would refuse and would rather die. His father had always valued his status and pride, he was afraid that his father would choose to hold both and die embracing them.
However, he prayed that what he heard from the guards was the real news. His family is a family that has stood firm in the capital for decades. They can't just be destroyed.
***
A man wearing a black robe and covering all his face with a black cloth came stealthily around the dungeon. He watches the security around, finds one of the guards who manages to bribe him with money and gives him a sign to get into action. The guard immediately understood and started his work.
The guard beside him turned his head and furrowed his brows. He didn't hear anything. But could it be that there was a voice but he who did not hear it? If the boss found out, he would definitely be blamed for it. So he could only pretend to nod. "Yes. I heard it."
Her colleague was not too surprised to hear the answer she gave. He expected it. So he wasted no time and kept pushing. "Then let's see what's in there!"
"But...." The guard looked back. Towards the main door of the dungeon that he had to guard. Soon is the turn of the clock. So there were only the two of them left before waiting for the replacements to come.
"Just for a second. Let's make sure what that sound is. I'm worried if anyone breaks in." The guard tried to convince his friend. After all, his task was only to distract and two gold coins would fit into his pocket. For a guard like himself, two gold coins was the same as working for two months. With just a little small action, he had already obtained two gold coins. How could he not be tempted?
After all, inside the prison there were also many guards standing guard there. The person's problem was successful with his goal and being able to come out fine was also still uncertain. But he doesn't care about any of that. What he cared about the most were the two gold coins that shone in his pouch the moment he opened his pouch. Their smiles with happiness. After he was done with his task today, he would go to the capital and visit the greenhouse to have fun with the money. Isn't life beautiful?
With the departure of the last two guards, a man who had been in hiding from the beginning immediately went inside the dungeon. By tightening his dull black robe. Walk carefully as he avoided the guards inside the passageway.
As soon as the man goes into prison. Ambiguous voices began to be heard. Voices of screams, moans and other sounds of despair rang out in the air. Even though the night had come, there were still many prisoners who still received punishment. The guards would not stop until they got the recognition they expected.
Ignoring all the sounds that echoed throughout the room, the man stepped forward with certainty. Heading to the deepest place in the dungeon.
"Hey why your food is never eaten huh!" A sound was heard from the end of the hall. The man squinted his eyes to clarify his vision. And sure enough, the man inside the prison cell was Pei Zhong Min, his master.
It's still the day her employer was detained in this place. But the appearance of his employer was a stark contrast from ordinary days.
His white clothes were stained with blood. There are scars in some places. His handsome face was also tainted with blue and black on his eyes and cheeks. How could his master end up like that?
