Chapter 377 The Queen Arrives
When Eunuch Sun delivered clothes to Luo Xiaoran, as expected, he received a "thank you" from Luo Xiaoran.
These two words made Eunuch Sun, who had predicted this result, very satisfied.
Feeling happy after a long time, Eunuch Sun walked out with a brisk pace and met Xiao Xia Zi again.
"Eunuch Sun, there is one thing that I forgot to report."
"what's up?"
"On the way back, I met Commander Huo. It seemed that he was also going to the Imperial Study."
"That's it?"
"When Commander Huo heard that my request to see the emperor was unsuccessful, he said something.
I thought about it carefully and felt that he was giving me some advice. "
"What on earth did you say!"
Eunuch Sun was intrigued by Xiao Xia Zi, but he was even more impatient with his hesitation.
Xiao Xiazi shook his shoulders, looked at Eunuch Sun nervously, and whispered:
"Commander Huo said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is already on his way to the capital.
Miss Luo has a special status and has lived in the prison for a long time, which is also a trouble for our prison.
He has already ordered the Imperial Guards to fully cooperate with the Heavenly Prison. It would be great if they could catch the prisoner the Queen wants sooner."
A hint of contemplation flashed across Eunuch Sun's eyes. Commander Huo...is he urging him to close the case as soon as possible!
"Then why didn't you tell me when you met me just now?"
Xiao Xiazi's shoulders shook again and her voice became even lower.
"When I just came back, I heard that you really tortured Miss Luo, and I'm not sure what your attitude towards her is.
Later, I saw that you really sent clothes to Miss Luo, so I dared to tell you what Commander Huo said. "
Eunuch Sun laughed angrily.
"Okay! You're being clever on my head!
You are not allowed to eat dinner today, get out!"
Xiao Xiazi left feeling relieved. Eunuch Sun looked at his young and thin back and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
In the whole prison, there is no one smarter than Xiao Xia Zi, otherwise, I would not have gone to him to report the news.
Then, the curve of Eunuch Sun's mouth disappeared.
He began to search in his mind to find out which of the captured palace servants had no relatives or family members left alive.
It’s good to be alone!
——If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry, because there is no family.
——When one person commits a crime, his entire clan will not be implicated, because there are no nine clans.
Just as Eunuch Sun was repeatedly considering the final name, the announcement of the Queen's arrival came from the gate of the Sky Prison.
Eunuch Sun's heart tightened, and he didn't know whether he was worried about Luo Xiaoran or for himself.
But he had no time to think too much at the moment, he had to go to see the Phoenix Chariot as soon as possible.
"Your servant Sun Daquan pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."
"I am Huo Shui, the humble servant, and I am here to see Her Majesty the Queen."
"Get up!"
The queen didn't even say a word, it was Qinghuan beside her who responded for her.
At this moment, the queen was looking at the Heavenly Prison which she had only heard of from others. She had never thought that one day she would come to such a vile and filthy place.
But now that she's here, she can't go back empty-handed!
Thinking of this, the queen glared at Eunuch Sun and Huo Shui.
"Sun Daquan, Huo Shui, you are so brave!"
When the two men heard this, they immediately knelt down. The eunuchs of the Heavenly Prison and the guards of the Imperial Guard who followed behind them also knelt on the ground.
"Queen, please calm down!"
"How can I calm down? Is this how you guys teamed up to deceive me and disobey my orders?"
Eunuch Sun's forehead was once again covered with cold sweat. He glanced at Huo Shui out of the corner of his eye. Huo Shui was pretending to be dead and refused to speak.
Eunuch Sun cursed inwardly, closed his eyes, and made up his mind to play dumb.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Through the joint interrogation and investigation by the Heavenly Prison and the Imperial Guards, Luo Xiaoran is indeed not a suspect.
Even so, in compliance with the Queen's order, we will still whip Luo Xiaoran as a punishment."
"A whip is also a form of torture? Fine, fine! Sun Daquan, you dare to fool me like this. From today on, your position as the chief eunuch of the Heavenly Prison will end! As for you——"
The queen pointed at Huo Shui, her beautiful eyes blazing with fire.
"The Imperial Guard is not under my jurisdiction, but I will report to the Emperor and have you dismissed and expelled from the palace!"
Huo Shui's pupils shrank. Her hope of survival rested on Huo Qingyun. If she was expelled from the Imperial Guard, she would lose the chance to get close to Huo Qingyun, which would be more painful than killing her!
"Her Majesty, please have mercy. The Imperial Guards are only ordered to assist in the investigation. The power to punish people still belongs to the Heavenly Prison, and the Imperial Guards cannot interfere!"
Eunuch Sun, who had just been dismissed, said: "..."
Qing Huan, who had been clearly blocked, said: "..."
I don't know why the queen recruited such a person who changes his mind with the wind into the Royal Guard: "..."
After showing off enough, the anger in my heart dissipated a little.
The queen did not forget the purpose of her visit today. She looked at Eunuch Sun coldly.
"I want to see Luo Xiaoran, lead the way!"
Eunuch Sun really wanted to say, "I am no longer the chief eunuch of the Heavenly Prison. Your Majesty, please find someone else to lead the way!"
But for the sake of his own life, he remained silent and obediently took the queen to Luo Xiaoran's cell.
Behind the queen was a team of guards, all of whom were specially assigned to guard Kunning Palace and were the queen's personal guards.
When the huge group of people arrived at Luo Xiaoran's cell, Luo Xiaoran and Wei An had already applied medicine and changed their clothes that were cut and stained with blood.
The two men saluted the queen with pale faces, then looked at her with their pale faces, waiting for her to speak.
The queen walked along, enduring the unpleasant smell, seeing the bloodstained torture instruments, and if she was not careful she would see the prisoners whose lives or deaths were unknown in the cells. She felt fear and annoyance in her heart.
Why is Luo Xiaoran's cell so deep that it takes her so long to walk there!
Although Luo Xiaoran knew that the Queen's visit this time was definitely not for good, she was surprised that the Queen ordered her personal guards to drag her and Wei An to the torture chamber without saying a word.
"No need, we can go by ourselves!"
Luo Xiaoran shook off the guard's hand. This was not a friendly behavior at all, but her face was still respectful to the queen, so she could not find any fault with her.
When she came to the torture room again, Luo Xiaoran's face was frighteningly gloomy.
Just have some quiet fun and you can send her away at will.
If a queen comes, how should we deal with this?
Sure enough, the next second, the queen issued an order.
"Tie the master and the servant to the standing tree."
The eunuchs in the Heavenly Prison looked at each other and followed Eunuch Sun - without moving.
The guards were led by Huo Shui, who clenched his fists and stood still, and the others did the same.
The queen temporarily suppressed her anger towards the two men, Sun and Huo, who pretended to be deaf and dumb. She would deal with these two after she finished interrogating Luo Xiaoran!
Qinghuan raised her hand and gave a signal to the Queen's guards, who then came out from behind the Queen and approached Luo Xiaoran.
As always, Wei An stood in front of Luo Xiaoran, and she gave Qing Huan a meaningful look.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that the princess has been punished according to your order. Please do not listen to slander and misunderstand the princess."
