Prince An got off the carriage first, and an oil-paper umbrella was placed over his head. He took the umbrella, stretched out his other hand to help Lin Luoling get off the carriage, and deliberately moved the umbrella towards Lin Luoling.

Lin Luoling raised his head and glanced at the dark and gloomy Zhou Cheng Prison. When the iron gate slowly opened, a piercing sound was heard. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw three large characters as bright red as blood on the black wooden plaque above the iron gate: Zhou Cheng Prison.

Cao Peng, the governor of Xuzhou in Jing, stood inside the prison gate of the prefecture and bowed to Prince An.

Prince An nodded slightly and said to Lin Luoling, "It has been arranged. Let's go."

arrangement?

When was it arranged?

Prince An had been with her all the time, and she had never heard him order anyone to come to the provincial prison.

Lin Luoling was surprised for a moment, then he and Prince An went to the county magistrate's prison.

Although she knew about the Governor's Prison, she had never even passed by it, and she could not imagine how eerie and terrifying the Governor's Prison was.

There is a corridor inside, and the stone walls on both sides are hung with torture instruments, some of which are still stained with blood.

After walking about ten feet, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and a horizontal corridor appeared. If you walk to the left, you are a man, and if you walk to the right, you are a woman.

Prince An paused and looked at Lin Luoling, asking Lin Luoling whether he should go directly to the prison where Zhu Xianzhi was imprisoned.

Lin Luoling only glanced to the left, and Prince An understood her thoughts. He took her hand and said to Cao Peng, "Ask the jailer to open the door of the men's prison. You don't have to go in. When I come out, you can take care of the follow-up matters."

Cao Peng responded respectfully, and a jailer led the way in front holding a dim lantern.

"Crash..."

The iron door of the men's prison was wrapped with an iron chain thicker than a thumb. After opening the lock, the jailer took off the chain.

The jailer of the An Dynasty held out his hand and said, "Give me the lantern."

The jailer bowed and handed over the lantern, saying, "Your Highness Prince An, if you have any instructions, please call me at any time. I will be waiting here."

Prince An said nothing, but tightened his grip on Lin Luoling's hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid. I will go in with you."

Lin Luoling thought Jiang Chi would go in with her, but when she turned her head, she saw that Jiang Chi did not follow her, but was discussing something privately with Cao Peng not far away.

She guessed that Jiang Chi was discussing with Cao Peng how to secretly remove the Yongning Marquis and his wife and Zhu Xianzhi from the state prison.

As soon as I entered the men's prison, a pungent stench and smell of blood hit me in the face.

Then all kinds of miserable cries came into my ears.

On both sides were prison cells made of black iron, with a dim white lantern hanging above every three cells.

I don't know if it's because the county prison has been in disrepair for a long time, it's been raining these days, or because it's dark and damp here, but occasionally drops of water fall from the stone ceiling.

Lin Luoling could clearly see bloodstains on the damp ground. Many of the bloodstains were probably left behind hundreds of years ago and were dark red in color.

Such a provincial prison is probably no different from the underworld.

The men's prison gets bigger as you get closer to the front, but gets smaller, darker and damper as you go further in.

Lin Luoling guessed that Prince An must have instructed Cao Peng to "take good care" of Zhu Xianzhi and Marquis Yongning.

As expected, Marquis Yongning and Zhu Xianzhi were imprisoned in the innermost part of the men's prison.

Zhu Xianzhi, curled up in the stinking dry grass, heard footsteps and thought it was the jailers and prison guards who were coming to interrogate him. He trembled with fear and glanced at them furtively with his slender almond-shaped eyes.

Seeing that the person coming was Lin Luoling, he crawled through the dry grass to the prison fence, grabbed the prison fence with both hands, and cried bitterly:

"Ling'er, I know that you and I are husband and wife, and you won't stand by and watch me die. I also know that you have always loved me in your heart. I have already vented your anger, so please don't be angry.

I swear to you that from now on I will only have you as my legal wife, and I will not take concubines or maids. Whether you want children or not, I will stay with you until the end of your life."

Lin Luoling stopped and looked down at Zhu Xianzhi. Seeing him like this, he looked exactly like a stray dog.

She just stared at Zhu Xianzhi. After Zhu Xianzhi finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Luoling to respond. He was not only panicked, but also slapped himself in the face, making a "pa pa" sound that echoed in the men's prison.

Zhu Xianzhi cried, "Ling'er, please forgive me, I know I was wrong..."

After sobbing for a long time, Lin Luoling finally spoke in a cold voice:

"I'm here today to tell you two things before you die."

Zhu Xianzhi raised his head and looked at Lin Luoling, "Ling'er, whatever you say is what it is. As long as you rescue me, whatever you say in the future is what it is."

“Heh…” Lin Luoling said: “The child born by Rong Shuhua, the one you threw to death, is your biological son.

And one more thing……"

Lin Luoling slowly squatted down and said in a low voice: "I took the trouble to put you in the state prison. How can I save you? I will make you get the retribution you deserve."

Hearing this, Marquis Yongning, who was huddled in the corner, slowly opened his eyes and immediately saw Prince An standing with his hands behind his back beside Lin Luoling.

He smiled suddenly, stood up, bowed to Prince An and said, "It seems that my fate today is all caused by Prince An, His Royal Highness?"

Only then did Zhu Xianzhi realize that there was a man standing next to Lin Luoling. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a dignified and elegant demeanor.

When Zhu Xianzhi heard his great uncle call him His Royal Highness Prince An, who had never met His Royal Highness Prince An, he was shocked for a moment, and then he cried madly:

"I don't care about the honor of a marquis, or the gold, silver, and jewelry. I only want to be with you until we grow old. If you divorce me, you will be a second wife. Even if Your Highness Prince An is weak, Your Majesty will not agree that Princess An is a second wife."

Prince An's face darkened, and he kicked Zhu Xianzhi in the chest, "I have gone through so much trouble to marry the princess into my palace, how can I allow someone who is worse than pigs and dogs to covet my princess?"

Before the voice had even finished, Zhu Xianzhi flew backwards more than ten feet and fell heavily to the ground. His internal organs ached and he spurted out a large mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Marquis Yongning said quietly, "It turns out that His Royal Highness Prince An is not ill. He really hid it well, making the Queen and His Royal Highness Prince Rui believe it."

Zhu Xianzhi didn't care whether Prince An was ill or not. He climbed to the prison fence and reached out to grab Lin Luoling's ankle. Lin Luoling took a step back quickly, and Prince An took the opportunity to step hard on the back of Zhu Xianzhi's hand.

The force on the foot must have been quite strong, and Lin Luoling clearly heard the sound of bones breaking.

Zhu Xianzhi ignored the pain and roared, "Lin Luoling, tell me, have you married Prince An as a princess? He is talking nonsense. You just divorced me not long ago, how could you marry him so soon?

Didn't you become a nun in Jingfu Temple? ..."

Prince An sneered, "Have you forgotten? When you went to Jingfu Temple, I was also there?"

"No!" Zhu Xianzhi shouted, "Lin Luoling, you love me, not him. You were angry about Rong Shuhua, so you married him to piss me off."
