Qianling Emperor had taken this pill and rested for an entire hour before she regained her senses. At this time, a young eunuch from outside suddenly came to report.

Qi Fu went out to listen, and when she came in, she did not look good.

Qianling Emperor frowned as she thought of something.

If they had already found Liu Cheng, then they must have already found traces and traces back to the Shang Imperial Concubine.

Qianling Emperor frowned. It was obvious that she was not enjoying this scene.

Qi Fu had accompanied the emperor for many years, so she naturally knew of the emperor's intentions. He concealed the panic in his heart and said: "This old servant will send someone to invite the three of them … …"

"No need." Qianling Emperor stopped him.

Qi Fu stopped in her tracks, and looked at the Emperor with a gaze that was getting deeper and deeper.

Qianling Emperor stayed silent for a while, then revealed a cold look on her old face. After which, she said, "I'll wait and see."

Qi Fu did not dare to disobey, and could only listen.

On the other side, Forbidden City's Celestial Prison.

Accompanied by the guards, Liu Wei walked step by step towards the underground prison.

Liu Wei walked very slowly and the prison warden did not walk very quickly either. There were only two people in the dark tunnel.

"Milord." Halfway there, the jailer turned to the side and said: "The prime minister is in the innermost prison cell, but the lord cannot go in. In a while, the lord will be waiting outside, I will bring the prime minister out."

Liu Wei nodded: "Sorry for the trouble."

The guard laughed: "Elder, you are a servant of the king. I should serve you. If you continue to be so polite then you will be the villain."

Liu Wei no longer said anything, she lowered her eyes and looked at the tiger token at her waist.

If not for this token, he would not have been able to enter this place.

As for Master Lin and Steward Hang, since they did not have any order badge, they could only wait outside.

Liu Wei turned around and looked at the structure of the prison, then thought about Jing zhao Yin's prison and Zhenge Sect's prison. It had to be said, the gap between them was indeed not small.

Zhenge Sect's prison cell was heavily guarded and built with vigor.

Jing zhao Yin's prison cell was dark and humid.

But this Forbidden City's dungeon, was connected from all directions. If it wasn't for someone who led the way, Liu Wei thought that she might have gotten lost here.

In the end, this was the private prison of Emperor, and the earth was like its master.

Being trapped in a dungeon like this, even if I gave you the key to the cell, it wouldn't be easy for you to escape.

After a few turns, the guard finally stopped and said, "We're here. Master will be waiting for us. I'll be right back."

Liu Wei nodded, her gaze still and unwavering.

The jailer looked at Liu Wei twice before opening a door and entering.

When they saw that there was one less person beside them and then looked at the deep tunnel, they realized that it was actually more terrifying than before.

After the jailers left for a long while, Liu Wei stood still and did not move for a long while, until the sound of heavy footsteps came from afar.

Liu Wei looked towards the source of the voice. The voice came from the door which the jailer had just entered from.

The sound of footsteps came closer, accompanied by the sound of chains.

Liu Wei lowered her eyes and calmed her mind, and very quickly, the door opened again. Inside, two black silhouettes appeared, waiting for her vision to clear up, Liu Wei saw that it was the prison warden, dragging Liu Cheng who had her hands and feet covered in shackles, walking out.

The courtier and courtier of the past was now filled with the vicissitudes of life, and his entire body was in a sorry state.

Liu Cheng's face and beard had not been shaved for an unknown amount of time, her hair had also condensed into a ball, her entire body was dirty, and she was still releasing a stench.

Liu Wei had never imagined that the Old Master, who was beneath only the Liu Residence, could become like this.

Although he was astonished in his heart, Liu Wei did not reveal it on his face. He only lowered his head slightly and said: "Master Liu, long time no see."

Liu Cheng's gaze was unfocused, she had long been tormented to the point that it lost its sharpness from before, and looking at her current appearance, if she was thrown onto the street, even beggars would have to distance themselves from them, it was really just that, looking at him, she was actually in a daze.

Liu Cheng gazed at Liu Wei's body with her turbid eyes, as if she had just recognized him. He opened her mouth, but no sound came out from her cracked lips.

In the end, Liu Cheng only looked at Liu Wei, and did not say a single word.

Liu Wei frowned, she looked at the prison warden: "prime minister has been tortured?"

The jailer shook his head, "Your excellency has misunderstood. After the prime minister was locked up, the emperor felt that the prime minister had been loyal for many years and ordered us to take care of him again and again. How would we dare to punish the prime minister? It's just that the temperature in the dungeon has changed tremendously due to the cold winter weather. The prime minister has caught a cold and has yet to fully recover from it.

Was this considered a little haggard?

Liu Wei thought, the Qianling Emperor was planning to cripple Liu Cheng?

Anyone could see that Liu Cheng had clearly been tortured.

Liu Wei looked at the prison warden, and said: "I have something to ask prime minister alone."

The jailer looked at Liu Wei's order badge and nodded, then pulled Liu Cheng and continued to walk.

Liu Wei looked at the jailer who was holding onto him like a dog holding onto a great official's hand, his gaze turning deeper.

The jailer brought Liu Cheng to a cubicle and locked him in before letting him in.

Once Liu Wei went in, the door closed from the outside.

Liu Wei looked at the door that was made of refined iron, then looked at the solid granite on the four sides, and sneered in her heart in disdain.

Liu Cheng was sitting opposite to him.

Liu Wei asked: "prime minister, can you hear me clearly?"

Liu Cheng slowly lifted her eyelids, glanced at Liu Wei, watched, and started to stare blankly again.

"Today, I came here to inquire the prime minister. I hope that you can tell me the truth."

Liu Cheng nodded, but her manner of nodding revealed a hint of stiffness.

Liu Wei turned to look at the direction of the big door, but when she turned back, she lowered her voice, and used a voice that only two people could hear: "It concerns the Min Imperial Concubine."

In that moment, Liu Cheng's body stiffened, and her pupils which had been unfocused for some time, suddenly shrank.

At the same time, the jailer who had snuck up to the iron gate to listen didn't hear anything and showed impatience on his face.

"Does Master still remember Min Imperial Concubine?" Liu Wei continued to ask with an equally low voice.

Liu Cheng seemed to have finally woken up, as her stiff head slowly turned. He looked at Liu Wei with extremely deep eyes.

However, Liu Wei laughed in her heart, she knew that this old cunning fox was only pretending to be stupid.

"It looks like... prime minister knows. " Liu Wei said with certainty.

Liu Cheng lowered her eyes once again, and slowly shook her head, indicating that she did not know, that she did not know anything.

Liu Wei explained herself, "prime minister might not be aware of the situation outside. Several months have already passed since the incident at the Shang Imperial Concubine. The Prime Minister was curious, why has the Emperor not released you yet? This question is actually something that I can dispel for the Prime Minister. "

Liu Cheng did not look at him, but listened intently.
