Chapter 870 A few taels of broken silver

When Zhao Xiwei returned to the prison, it was already midnight.

He hadn't had any water all day, and he was so hungry that he was dizzy. There was only half a hard steamed bun in the room, so he asked the night guard for another bowl of water.

Physical strength and sleep were both indispensable. She swallowed half of the steamed bun with cold water, but couldn't fall asleep.

The prince's reaction today was not as bad as she thought, but it was definitely not good - she failed to reverse the situation and was still imprisoned. She didn't know what she would face next time?

Suffering from a blank mind, she wants to save herself. How easy is it?

After thinking for a long time, he closed his eyes in a daze. Suddenly he heard a knocking sound outside the window, and the guard shouted: "The sinner Zhao Xiwei, come out!"

What happened in the middle of the night? Just then he stood up, "Squeak -" the door was opened, and the guard appeared at the door: "Zhao Xiwei, someone from the Zhao Mansion is here to see you!"

Zhao Xiwei was surprised and happy.

It was a young man who came, looking at Shibajiu, and wearing prison uniform like her.

When he saw Zhao Xiwei, his eyes turned red: "Sister Wei! Grandma asked me to come see you! Are you okay? I heard from the jailer that Lord Ting Wei just interrogated you..."

"Don't be too busy asking for help!" The guard weighed the money bag in his hand and said rudely: "You have agreed to three sentences! More than that is enough!"

Zhao Xiwei didn't bother to ask any more questions. The most important thing now was not that she couldn't remember so and so, but how to save herself.

Watching the guards go to the other end to inspect the room, she hurriedly lowered her voice and asked the visitor: "I'm okay, what can you do?"

"Sister Wei, we can't see our uncle now, and we can't send any news. I'm here to ask you if you can contact Liu Jishan?"

"Liu Jishan?" Zhao Xi frowned slightly. She didn't remember this name at all. How many things had she forgotten?

"Well! Liu Jishan has great martial arts skills, is well-connected, and is your mother's fellow disciple. If something happens to you, he will definitely not stand by and watch. He will definitely have a way to save you."

He looked troubled, "Sister Wei, the only one I can count on now is you. Do you have any way to deliver the message?"

Zhao Xiwei was dumbfounded.

Her mind is completely blank now. She can't even recognize the person. She only vaguely remembers that Zhao Ziyi is her father. What else can she do?

This is really adding insult to injury.

She bit her lip and was thinking about whether to tell him her situation when the guard came over in a swaggering manner: "It's time! Brother Zhao, it's time for you to go back!" After that, she couldn't help but take the person into custody.

He was pushed by the guards and suddenly put something into her hand: "Second brother, I'm sorry for making you suffer like this but can't help... Sister Wei, take care!"

Zhao Xiwei took advantage of the situation and put his palms together. It was silver.

"Wait!" She raised her head, suddenly remembered something, and pursed her lips at him with a smile: "Second brother, I understand! Go back quickly!"

After seeing off the Zhao family, Zhao Xiwei opened his palms and weighed them. It was not much. When he opened the bag, he saw just a few pieces of broken silver, about four or five taels.

Zhao Xi took out a breath.

A few taels of broken silver can relieve one's worries. The next day, the genius was revealed, and the jailer came to deliver the meal.

Zhao Xiwei discovered that this person had a very good attitude today.

The jailer walked into the cell, yawned and put the lunch box on the ground: "I went early today and got you an extra serving of porridge, so you can eat it properly."

Zhao Xiwei took out some broken silver from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, thank you for your help!"

The jailer put his hands in his hands and put the money into his pocket. His expression became more and more kind: "No, no, you used to be the princess after all. As servants, we should take more care of you. You should, you should."

Zhao Xiwei expressed regret: "Don't say this nonsense. Now the prince has a new beauty. Miss He is gentle and beautiful. I think she is favored."

As he talked, he opened the lunch box. The pickles, steamed buns, and porridge were all warm. It was much better than last night when he could only eat hard steamed buns.

Zhao Xiwei held the porridge in one hand and the steamed buns in the other, eating them calmly without the slightest hint of distaste.

The jailer's favorability increased greatly, and he started chatting: "But you don't know something. This girl He is the daughter of He Kui, and He Kui is an official of the East Palace. She has been with the prince for many years. Because of this reason , Miss He belongs to the East Palace sooner or later!"

When Zhao Xiwei heard what the jailer said, he took a mouthful of steamed buns, chewed them slowly, and then said, "That's not bad. I think back then, when we were in the East Palace, He Kui had to look at my face -"

She made some random remarks and fooled the jailer into believing it, "As for He Kui's daughter, I hosted a banquet for her back then, so she is considered a close match!"

"That's good! Mr. He is an upright official, and we have no objection to him!" The jailer nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Xiwei followed the trend and said: "This is called like birds of a feather flocking together to cherish each other. You are an upright person, that's why you respect officials like Mr. He."

She picked up a pickle with her chopsticks and sighed softly: "It's a pity that I can't go out, otherwise I have to tell He Liangdi and ask her to go to He Kui and say a few nice words for you. Not to mention the benefits, I will give you a better one." Ordering errands is a breeze.”

The jailer's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Zhao Xiwei finished the porridge, rinsed his mouth with cold water, and said with a smile: "What is so difficult about this? You also know that I used to be a princess, and I was favored a lot. Even if I am in trouble now, I have to go out." It’s not difficult. Now that you can talk to me, it can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. I can help you find a good job. This is called a convenient favor. "

The jailer did not doubt that he was there, and his thoughts became enthusiastic: "What you said makes sense. For us servants, this kind of thing is a good thing that we dare not even dream of, but for a noble person like you, it is just a good thing. Just snap your fingers! This is your current situation, oh, I hope the case will be solved soon! "

"If you don't figure it out, it won't delay your future!" Zhao Xiwei put down the water and calmly stretched out three fingers: "If you want, you can change to a lighter job in less than three days!"

"Really?" The jailer's eyes widened. "To tell you the truth, I just gave birth to a big fat boy at home. My mother-in-law is not in good health and she needs money for everything! Ouch, I have been a jobber for ten years. , It hasn’t even increased by half a penny..."

Zhao Xi pursed his lips slightly, stopped talking, and just packed the lunch box.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" The jailer hurriedly took the bowls and chopsticks, "Tell me, what should I do?"

Zhao Xiwei was not in a hurry to answer him, straightened out his prison clothes, and said leisurely: "You have to let me think of something to do. No one outside can see me now, and I can't get out. How can I help you?"

The jailer was not completely stupid. He said with a bitter look on his face: "I can't help you with this. Your case was assigned by His Highness the Crown Prince. As you know, when the Crown Prince arrived last night, we, Lord Tingwei, all suffered a lot." "I'm scolding you, even if you want to send a message to the outside world, you won't dare!"
