I have a poisonous snake

Chapter 267
At this moment, Chu Chen, who was being missed by the officials, was being imprisoned in the palace prison.

The prison was extremely strong, and the surroundings were heavily guarded, and no one else could enter it at all.

Chu Chen was detained in the deepest part of the prison, in the most heavily guarded cell, alone.

The meridian in his hand was cut off by Ye Baimian, and he just bandaged it casually to stop the bleeding. The pain has been unbearable for him these few days.

And since he was force-fed something that day, he couldn't speak.

The jailers knew that this man was assassinating His Majesty, so even though they knew that he was the prime minister's son, they didn't give him any good looks.

The food given to Chu Chen every day is only enough to hang his breath and keep him from starving to death.

In order to avoid suspicion, the prime minister never visited Chu Chen in the prison. Nangong Mingyue wanted to visit her brother, but was stopped by the prime minister and placed under house arrest.

Nangong Mingyue didn't know Chu Chen's true identity yet, and the prime minister couldn't reveal it, so he had to turn a blind eye to her noise and questions.

However, even if she was locked up, everyone in the mansion recognized people. After Nangong Mingyue begged for a few days, those people softened and released her.

Nangong Mingyue learned to be smart this time, instead of looking for the prime minister, she secretly went to the cell to visit Chu Chen.

She was stopped by the jailer outside the door for half an hour. Nangong Mingyue cried and begged for a long time, but the jailer couldn't stand it anymore, so he let her in to visit, but only gave her a quarter of an hour.

"elder brother……"

Nangong Mingyue was brought to the innermost place by the jailer. When she saw Chu Chen lying on the dry straw with blood stains on her white underwear, her eyes became hot, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

What was her brother's mistake?To suffer this kind of punishment here!
After living a new life, can she still die inexplicably like in her previous life?

Seeing Nangong Mingyue coming, Chu Chen opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't make any sound.

"Brother! Don't worry, I will find a way to rescue you!"

Nangong Mingyue sat down on her knees, took his hand, wiped away her tears with the other hand, and tried her best to smile.

Chu Chen's eyes were dim, and he twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly.

To find ways to?
What can she do? Assassinating Ji Bai is already a capital offense unless his identity is revealed and Nan Guo comes forward to save him.

But his hands were crippled, and his voice couldn't make a sound. Even if he wanted to reveal his identity, he couldn't do anything.

A person like the Prime Minister who is greedy for life and fears death alone will probably not take the initiative to tell the truth to the Northern Emperor.

Because once you say that, the whole world will know about the prime minister's treason.

May I ask which emperor can tolerate the existence of a traitor?
"Brother, you wait here. I will ask His Majesty and the Queen Mother. There will always be a way to rescue you."

Nangong Mingyue cried for a while, wiped away her tears, let go of her hand, and left the prison to find someone.

Chu Chen watched her walking out and sighed silently.

At this time, the man in the cell opposite him grabbed the iron railing with both hands and shook it again.

"Let me go out! I want to see the Queen Mother! I want to see Ji Bai!"

In the cell opposite, Ji Rui, who was once glamorous, was no longer luxurious. His robe was stripped off, leaving only his inner garment, and all the accessories he was wearing were also taken off.

"Let me go out quickly!"

After shouting for a long time and no one paid any attention, Ji Rui thumped the iron fence angrily, cursed a few times, and looked over.

Seeing Chu Chen looking at him, he frowned coldly.

"What are you looking at? This king doesn't believe that Ji Bai really dared to kill me!"
