C305 (1/2)

Chu Yunge didn't even need to look to feel disgusted just thinking about it.

If he locked her in a place like this and fed her something from a swill bucket every day, she would definitely go on a rampage!

Chu Yunge took a deep breath, calmed the sour water in her stomach, and continued to ask with a cold voice: ”For you to treat those princes in such a manner, those princes and princes all used to be golden twigs and jade leaves, and ate the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. Wouldn't it be crazy to be locked up in the saritas and be treated like this? ”

”He's already gone mad!” The jailer spoke the truth and pointed at the title on his finger and said in a low voice, ”I heard that when those noble princes found out that they had lost their titles, their minds were severely damaged and their thoughts were not normal. Adding the fact that they were locked in Sherita, their living environment changed greatly. I heard from a guard with more experience than me that the princes didn't want to eat those things in the beginning, but if they didn't, they would starve to death. When they were hungry, they wouldn't care about the taste and just ate them. ”

”Alright, I understand.” ”I don't want to know what those princes are going to eat, so I won't be able to eat anymore.”

”Oh, oh, I forgot. You haven't had dinner yet.” The jailer thought back to the time when Chu Yunge had not eaten, and scratched her head in embarrassment.

”I have one more question.” Chu Yunge ate a bit before she asked slowly.

”Princess, if you ask me, I'll tell you everything I know, and I'll tell you everything I know.”

”Do you know the crown prince who was imprisoned here ten years ago — — Baili Cang?” Chu Yunge asked. After saying this, in order to prevent the guards from becoming suspicious, she hurriedly added, ”I heard you say that the ordinary princes and princes were all imprisoned here. She could not help but be curious, what kind of treatment would the former Crown Prince Baili Cang receive? I think that Baili Cang's status back then, that he was imprisoned here, should be considered as one of the important guards, right? It's just that I don't know, he's the same as the other princes and princes.

”This …” The guard's answer was delayed a lot: ”I won't hide it from the princess. The crown prince who was crippled previously is a taboo here. We wouldn't dare to mention his name so easily.”

”What's so taboo about that?” Aren't they all from the royal family? It's already locked in here, what's there to be afraid of? ” The corner of Chu Yunge's mouth curled up, purposely showing a disdainful expression.

”Princess, you're someone from the Great Chu Kingdom, of course you don't know about it.” The guard whispered, ”Back then, the crippled crown prince was the most likely person to become the emperor. Otherwise, they would have been plotted against while the princes were fighting for the throne, and the position of crown prince wouldn't have been crippled, being chased out of the Eastern Palace. Afterwards, the new emperor ascended to the throne, and the crippled crown prince, as his eldest son, was conferred a title. However, before the second year of being conferred the title, he heard that the prince's residence had copied out a large number of weapons. It can be said that the one with the heaviest crime in the entire Burial Tower is the crippled crown prince. ”

”I've long heard that the crown prince has been locked up here for at least ten years. After being locked up for so long, perhaps he has already gone insane?”

Chu Yunge already had a heavy load on her mind.

According to the ”care” that the jailers had given to the princes, they had been locked in here for several years without changing clothes or taking a bath. Moreover they were eating pig food every day and couldn't take a step out of their cells.

If the crown prince had been accused of such a heinous crime, wouldn't he be the craziest one?

If Baili Cang really became a madman, then what was the use of painstakingly running into the State Supervisor Temple?

Even if he managed to find a way out of his cell, it would be useless to find the place where the crown prince was imprisoned, because Baili Cang had already gone mad. How could a madman understand her words, and even more so, tell her where the map key was hidden!

Didn't that mean all she was doing now was useless?

Just as Chu Yunge's mind was in a mess, thinking about such a possibility, the prison guard standing in front of her spoke out, ”Whether the crown prince is crazy or not, I don't know. But, I heard that the crown prince is being held at the highest level of the sarcophagus. As for the prison wardens who send food to him every day, there are other people. We are only responsible for the food on these levels and we don't know about the matters at the top nor are we responsible for them. ”

”Is the crown prince crazy?” Chu Yunge asked softly, wanting to confirm her guess.

”I guess so. However, he had heard that the crown prince's food was not poured into the slop bucket. He could occasionally see clothes being washed from the top of the Dao Pagoda, but he didn't know if he had gone crazy or not. I heard that on the top floor, there was no one who would accompany him. It's been too long since I've been locked up in a dark room. If I stay here for too long, I might go crazy. ”

The guard didn't know but according to his daily life he was able to deduce the details.

However, his words had already revealed a lot of information to Chu Yunge. At least, Chu Yunge could deduce from the clues provided by the guards that the crown prince should not have gone insane.

A madman wouldn't change his clothes.

Moreover, he could also change his clothes. The treatment he received should be much better than the treatment he received from other princes. At the very least, the chances of him going insane weren't that high.

She needed to find a chance to sneak up to the top of the tower and meet the crown prince in person.

”Alright, now that you have explained so much to me, it can be considered as telling me the general situation and also solving the questions in my mind. Rest assured, this princess will not lack you. ” Chu Yunge's thoughts raced. She was still planning something in his mind, but she didn't show it on her face at all. Instead, she smiled and pulled out a pure golden hairpin from her head.
