Chapter 384: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Thirty-three)

Ji Mingyue sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and leaned against the wall beside the bed. Hearing footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes. Through the dim light, she could clearly see the person outside the cell.

Seeing the person coming, she couldn't help but be surprised: "It's you? Why are you here?"

Cui Li: "I came whenever I wanted to."

Ji Mingyue looked at the graceful and elegant imperial concubine, who was sitting on the soft chair prepared by the black-armored guards, and spoke five words slowly and calmly.

She couldn't help but sneer and said, "The Imperial Concubine really has a lot of leisure time. What's so good about this secret cell?"

Cui Li looked around. There was no sunlight here, which made it seem eerie and scary. There was really nothing to see.

Cui Li: "Light a few more candles."

The black-armored guards immediately brought in three candlesticks and placed them high up, and the dark cell immediately became bright.

She looked at Ji Mingyue in the prison.

She was dressed in gray, without any ornaments on her body. The jewels on her hair were gone, and her face looked a little haggard.

Cui Li: "It seems that you haven't been doing well these days."

Ji Mingyue laughed at herself and said, "It's not so bad. At least I'm still alive. Thanks to you, the emperor didn't throw me into the water dungeon, torture me, or feed me rotten rice and vegetables."

Cui Li nodded. She did tell Liang Sheng to give the princess some dignity and not to torture or insult her.

Of course, as an emperor, Liang Sheng had no intention of torturing his nominal concubines.

However, whether or not to speak up will determine how Ji Mingyue's life in the dark prison will be.

If she didn't mention it, the Black Armor Guards would not let her off easily even if they didn't torture her on purpose.

Although being in a confined space for a long time is a torture in itself.

Cui Li: "After all, you are a princess, and you were once pampered and brought up. Now you have ended up like this, which makes people feel sorry for you. Why should I torture you any further?"

Ji Mingyue sneered, "Sympathy? What do I have to sympathize with?"

Cui Li: "When faced with the righteousness of the country and personal grudges, you chose to save Ji Wei for the sake of Ji State. However, you did not know that even if Ji Wei killed you, your father, brother, and mother would not avenge you."

Ji Mingyue stood up with the help of the wall, pursed her lips and looked at Cui Li.

Cui Li: "Death is like the extinguishing of a light. Once you die, they will be heartbroken and will turn around and choose to cooperate with Ji Wei for their own benefit. Your mother will also officially record Ji Wei in her name, making her the legitimate princess of Ji State and your biological sister with the same father and mother. Isn't that funny?"

Ji Mingyue remained unmoved and said calmly, "Nonsense. Are you here to sow discord? I'm already a prisoner. It's not worth your while to waste your breath on stirring up trouble."

Cui Li was not angry either. She smiled and ordered the Black Armor Guards to give Ji Mingyue another quilt.

Cui Li: "It's cool down here. You'd better cover yourself with an extra blanket. If you catch a cold, it's hard to cure it here."

Ji Mingyue also smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Imperial Noble Consort. It's really boring here. Why don't you send me some things to pass the time, such as writing brushes, inkstones, some bamboo slips, and some needlework."

Cui Li: "Should I also give you cinnabar, talisman paper, and spiritual jade? This is a secret cell, and the only things we can use to pass the time are torture instruments."

Ji Mingyue shrugged and sneered, "Are you afraid of what I might do?"

Cui Li: "Yes. I won't underestimate you. I heard that the Wu clan has a magic that can burn blood and vitality to transmit messages. I wonder if it is true?"

"How is that possible? The Imperial Concubine really thinks too highly of me."

Cui Li: "Really? I think you're being modest. It's so dark here, how do you pass the time? I guess you've been thinking about the witchcraft in your mind over and over again. Have you figured out a way to escape? Even if you haven't, your witchcraft skills have improved."

Ji Mingyue covered her lips and laughed heartily, "Royal Consort, you're really interesting. I'm locked up here, feeling anxious all day long. How could I possibly have the energy to think about these things?"

Cui Li nodded and was about to say something when the black-armored guard five meters away reminded her, "Your Majesty, the cold and gloomy aura in the dark cell is very strong. You'd better leave early. His Majesty is waiting for you outside."

Why is Liang Sheng here too?

Upon hearing this, Cui Li stopped chatting and slowly stood up.

Ji Mingyue didn't say anything, her eyes fell on Cui Li's bulging belly.
