"Not good! Not good!"
"Auntie Lin... the prince has been taken to jail!"
Taozhi ran in in a panic, bent over, and gasped for breath.
Lin Qianqian turned around immediately and asked, "What's going on?"
"Sir, how come he was arrested and thrown into jail?"
Taozhi put her hand on her chest, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly told the story, "The prince had a fight with someone in the restaurant, and was arrested by the Jinwu Guards and thrown into jail!"
"What?" Lin Qianqian was frightened.
She never thought that Gu Huai, a soft persimmon, would actually fight with others. Wasn't he a weak and incompetent idiot in the book?
Taozhi finally caught her breath, "Auntie Lin, don't worry. The Marquis has already left the house, and I believe he will be able to bring the prince back soon."
Lin Qianqian said, "How can I not be worried? I wonder if he is injured? Is the problem serious?"
As they were talking, Yu came in with Nanny Hong.
Yu's face was frighteningly dark, and her sharp eyes were as sharp as knives, wishing she could cut Lin Qianqian's face into pieces.
"You little bitch, you are such a troublemaker!"
"Do you know that Huai'er fought with someone in the restaurant just for you?"
"He has always been an obedient and sensible child since he was young. He has never blushed at anyone and has never fought with anyone. But now he has broken someone's head just for you!"
"Now, my son is in jail! If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you, little bitch!"
Lin Qianqian had no choice but to face the angry Yu.
"Madam, you have time to vent your anger on me, but why don't you think of a way to get the prince out of jail."
Yu was so angry that her eyes turned red, and her teeth were about to break. "Pick it out? How do you pick it out?"
"Who do you think the Jinwu Guards are? They are the emperor's personal soldiers!"
"If the emperor punishes him severely, how can Huai'er serve as an official in the court in the future? You bitch, you really made him suffer!"
Yu was filled with hatred. Ever since Lin Qianqian and Huai'er met, this family had never had peace.
Lin Qianqian didn't know what had happened.
Precisely because it was related to her, she had to visit Gu Huai to find out the whole story.
Lin Qianqian asked Taozhi to pack a set of Gu Huai's clothes and asked the kitchen to prepare a meal and soup.
Yu returned to her room, holding her chest in pain, and wept bitterly, "Why is my life so miserable? My son is so ignorant that he actually started a fight and made trouble under the emperor's feet!"
Cheng Jiayao sat next to Yu and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Mother, the prince will be fine."
"We'll know how to deal with it when the Marquis comes back. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be serious."
She didn't wait for the news that Gu Huai was hanging out with someone in a brothel, but instead waited for the news that he was thrown into jail.
It is said that these two girls are so skilled that no man can escape from them.
She had thought it through. When the time comes, she would take them both into the Marquis' Mansion to keep Lin Qianqian company.
Yu shook her head and sighed, "If this gets to the emperor's ears, Huai'er will definitely be severely punished."
"What he hates most is the dude who does nothing and gets into fights and makes trouble."
Finally, after packing up, Lin Qianqian picked up her bag and said, "Taozhi, let's go."
Taozhi glanced out the window. It was already dark. She looked embarrassed and said, "Auntie Lin, curfew is about to begin."
"You should go see the prince tomorrow."
"If we go now, we won't be able to get back before curfew."
Lin Qianqian was like an ant on a hot pan, getting anxious if she had to wait any longer.
How could she sleep peacefully when she knew that she was going to go to jail because of her and might even be punished by the emperor?
Gu Huai was going to be an official in the future, and if this incident affected his career, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Lin Qianqian looked at Taozhi and said, "I want to run there and run back. I must be able to come back before curfew."
"Taozhi, are you really not going? Of course, you don't have to accompany me. I'm not ordering you."
"No." Taozhi shook her head and took a step back decisively.
"Auntie Lin, please forgive me."
"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go alone."
I watched Lin Qianqian pick up the lunch box and rush out the door.
Taozhi was puzzled, "Doesn't Aunt Lin know how powerful the Jinwu Guards are?"
"The previous gentleman was a Jinshi. He didn't return home on time after the curfew and was beaten up by the Jinwu Guards. His face was swollen and a tooth was knocked out."
"I'm not afraid of running into the Jinwu Guards, who are feared by both humans and ghosts."
*
The jailer led Lin Qianqian through dark cells built with wooden railings and stone walls.
The air smelled of rust, damp, and a stench of dead rats.
"Qianqian, why are you here?"
Gu Huai came over excitedly, holding the railing with both hands and asked.
"I came to see you, Prince, are you hurt?" Lin Qianqian looked at Gu Huai's face with concern.
His hair was a little messy, and his originally fair face was covered with dust. However, he had no injuries on his body.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped his cheek.
Gu Huai looked at Lin Qianqian's hands, his heart warmed, and he smiled at her, "Qianqian, I'm not hurt, don't worry."
"Sir, what is going on?"
Lin Qianqian squatted on the ground and opened the food box. She put a plate of green vegetables, a plate of pork elbow, and a plate of steamed buns into the cell and put the chopsticks into Gu Huai's hand.
"I'm starving!" Gu Huai sat down cross-legged, picked up the steamed bun and took a big bite. While eating, he told her everything that happened.
Zhang Qi held the sword at his waist and turned into the Jinwuwei prison.
He turned around and asked the guard next to him: "Did anyone come to visit the prince just now?"
"Reporting to the general, a woman just came in and claimed to be his concubine."
Zhang Qi walked in and saw from afar a woman in a lotus pink silk dress standing outside the cell. She was graceful and her figure was familiar.
After listening to this, Lin Qianqian sighed, "Prince, I don't want you to go to jail because of my fight. You are going to be an official in the future, so don't mess around anymore."
Gu Huai pouted aggrievedly, "But, they want you."
"No matter how much you want me, I am still yours."
“They said a lot of nasty things.”
"Being obscene shows that they have low quality and stinky thoughts. Isn't that what men are like in today's society?"
“When I saw short sleeves, I immediately thought of white arms, I immediately thought of naked bodies, I immediately thought of reproductive organs, I immediately thought of sexual intercourse…” Lin Qianqian sighed and recited Lu Xun’s original words verbatim.
Gu Huai was stunned.
His face turned a little red.
"Qianqian, you...you, how did you know?"
This passage is Mr. Lu Xun's criticism of the feudal society's suppression and distortion of human nature.
If we put it here, it is just as accurate and profound.
"When people are suppressed for too long, they become abnormal and twisted."
After filling his stomach, Gu Huai held Lin Qianqian's hand tightly, really reluctant to let her go, "Qianqian, my father came over and first gave me a bowl of hangover soup, then he scolded me, and I was scared."
"You are the only one who is willing to come and see me, and bring me food and clothes."
"He wanted to have someone beat me, but luckily he was stopped. He told me to stay here and reflect on my mistakes, preferably for half a year. What kind of father is this, hoping his son will go to jail?"
Lin Qianqian touched his face and said, "My Lord, I was just saying that in anger. Don't take it seriously."
"I have to go."
"Hey - don't go..."
Gu Huai held Lin Qianqian's hand. He looked around and whispered like a thief, "I have a small request."
"Qianqian, can you...can you kiss me?"
A soft kiss on the cheek.
Gu Huai touched his face happily and lay down on the thatched mat.
It's just sleeping here for one night, no big deal. Hey, he can see Qianqian tomorrow.
*
"stop!"
"It's curfew time, how dare you break it!"
"Stop if you violate the night rules, or I will shoot you!"
After leaving the prison, Lin Qianqian hurriedly trotted all the way to the Marquis' Mansion, but unexpectedly she heard an angry shout from behind!
There's already a curfew?
Lin Qianqian stopped, looked up at the darkness above her head, and slowly turned around.
When she saw a group of armored Jinwu guards, the leader of which was holding a bow and arrow pointing at her, the long arrow was so sharp that her legs softened for some reason and she stumbled back a few steps.
Suddenly, the man let go of the bow and arrow.
"Whoosh-"
An arrow hit her feet.
Lin Qianqian's legs went limp and she fell to the ground, with the food box clanging to the ground.
The night watch leader walked up to Lin Qianqian and said, "Those who violate the curfew will be flogged twenty times!"
"take away!"
