Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The palace guards secretly sent the comatose Ji Fengyan to the dungeons.
When the Eldest Princess had personally seen Ji Fengyan locked in the dungeon, she ordered n to use tal chains to place her against a wall. Only then did she nod in satisfaction. She said to a nearby guard, “Light the incense. It’s ti for General Ji to wake up.”
When he heard this, the guard lit a stick of incense in the cell and left, closing the tal door of the cell tightly.
When the “comatose” Ji Fengyan slt the delicate fragrance, she knew it was ti to wake up. She purposely opened her eyes blurred. The mont she opened her eyes, her gaze fell on the Eldest Princess, who was standing outside the cell.
“General Ji, how have you been?” The Eldest Princess lifted her chin slightly and looked arrogantly at Ji Fengyan, who had beco a captive. Her eyes were full of malice.
Ji Fengyan raised her brows and swept a look around her. Heavy tal shackles enclosed her four limbs. However, her face showed no trace of panic. She lifted her eyes, looked at the Eldest Princess, and said, “Is this how the royal family shows hospitality to a guest?”
“Guest?” The Eldest Princess suddenly laughed softly. “Ji Fengyan, you really won’t cry unless you see the coffin. Do you really think my Royal Father summoned you back to reward you?”
“Why? Is that not the case?” Ji Fengyan looked at the Eldest Princess casually.
The Eldest Princess laughed coldly and said, “Ji Fengyan, you are really naïve. To tell the truth, my Royal Father has summoned you back this ti not to reward you, but to take your life.”
“My life?” Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes slightly.
The Eldest Princess’s gaze drifted over the fetters that covered Ji Fengyan’s body and purposely spoke with regret.
“How pitiful. Ji Fengyan, you have no self-awareness, even on the brink of death. Did you think you gained any credit just by regaining the Plain of Corpses? A pity... you didn’t know that everything you did only brought disaster on yourself, causing your own death.”
“Eldest Princess, I know you hate . However, you need not use His Majesty’s na to deal with .” Ji Fengyan spoke as if she was unimpressed.
“What a joke. Who would hate soone about to die? It doesn’t matter whether you believe . You will certainly die. I suggest you treasure the rare monts you have left.” When the Eldest Princess had spoken, she gestured to summon prison guards in charge of the dungeon.
“General Ji is in rude health and has a stubborn nature. You must be sure to treat her ‘hospitably’. Don’t allow her to feel bored.”
The prison guards kept nodding.
“Eldest Princess, please don’t worry. We know what to do. We guarantee the Eldest Princess will be satisfied.”
Only then did the Eldest Princess nod. After sweeping a glance at Ji Fengyan, she turned to leave. The group of prison guards hurriedly clustered around the Eldest Princess as she departed.
Once the people outside the cell had left, a voice imdiately sounded in Ji Fengyan’s ear.
“I say, little girl, what offense did you commit to be sent here?”
Ji Fengyan looked towards the source of the voice and t a pair of eyes that looked over from a neighboring cell. In this dungeon, the cells were only separated by a layer of tal bars and anything in one cell could be clearly seen in another cell.
A small, hunchbacked old man was locked in the cell next to Ji Fengyan. His eyes were alert and he examined Ji Fengyan several tis. No matter how he looked, Ji Fengyan did not look like an ordinary criminal.
“I would like to know too.” Ji Fengyan smiled as she spoke.
When the little old man saw Ji Fengyan’s casual attitude, he could not help but say, “Little girl, I think you must have committed a major offense. Otherwise, you would not be imprisoned here. Do you know that only extrely vicious criminals guilty of serious cris are imprisoned in this royal dungeon? Ordinary criminals would never be here.”
