C471 Stalking (1/2)

”Empress …” Sherry called again, but the queen had already turned her back on him and was asleep.

The Celestial Prison.

The prison was dark and damp. Occasionally, cockroaches and rats would slip past in the corner, and a beam of light would shine through the large square window, making it seem even colder.

Like an abandoned white kitten, she was curled up on her knees and hugging her calves, curled up helplessly in the corner, her face buried in a fox-fur cloak, her eyes wide and empty, and her whole person even paler and thinner.

There were tears in her eyes, and with a little wink of her large eyes, tears would fall.

Since last night, when she was imprisoned in this prison, she had not been able to drink a single drop of water. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of the expression her royal father had when he said he wished to kill her.

”Ling Yue'er, Ling Yue'er …” At this moment, the prison door suddenly produced a clattering sound, and then they heard a somewhat anxious voice.

Her large eyes slightly blinked as she slowly raised her head. She saw Xiao He standing at the entrance to the prison with an anxious expression on his face. Both of his hands tightly gripped the door as he said, ”Sorry, Yue Er, I came late. How are you right now?”

”…” Feng Lingyue sat there without moving, only slowly shaking her head.

When Xiao He saw this, he felt his heart ache. He softened his tone and said, ”Mu Ru Yue Er, don't worry. I won't ignore you.”

Feng Lingyue still sat there motionlessly, not even blinking her eyes. The interior was filled with emptiness, confusion, and fear …

Xiao He lowered his head and looked at the dishes on the ground, but didn't even move. He quickly took out a hot meat pie and spoonfully said with a smile:

”Look, this is your favorite cake. I just bought it, eat it quickly. No matter what happens, you have to fill your stomach. Only then will you have the strength to do other things.”

Finally, Feng Lingyue slowly raised her head and looked at the meat pancake in Xiao He's hand that was still emitting heat. She opened her mouth and spoke with a hoarse voice:

”So you were the one who bought the meat pancakes from a few days ago? I thought it was a gift. ”

”Who bought it is not important. You can eat it.” Xiao He stretched out his hand a little longer. ”Quickly take it and eat.”

However, Feng Lingyue shook her head. She had no appetite, and didn't want to eat: ”Xiao He, I didn't harm Thirteenth Sister, I don't know what's in Thirteenth Sister's medicine, so she told me to fry it. I really didn't do anything to harm anyone, and I don't know why she fainted after drinking my medicine.”

”Ling Yue'er, there's no need to explain. Of course I believe in you. You won't hurt anyone!” Xiao He felt his heart ache when he saw her unable to defend herself.

”But …” but royal father doesn't believe me at all. He, he wished that I would die, he said that he had never liked this daughter of mine, and he said that he regretted not killing me … ” Feng Lingyue finally buried her head between her knees and began to cry.
