Chapter 171: Chapter 172: Thrown into the Dungeon

Ye Yi, take the Princess Consort down!

Ye Yunting’s command was delivered in an icy tone.

Chu Nanli’s expression grew colder.

The dungeon, that was where traitors who colluded with the enemy were imprisoned.

Ye Yunting actually intended to threaten and humiliate her in this manner.

Ye Yunting, I can walk on my own.

With a cold glance in his direction, Chu Nanli straightened her back and turned to leave.

Seeing her leave like this only fueled Ye Yunting’s anger further.

Did she value Zhuang Muyan so much?

She would rather go to the dungeon than relent and say she would not see him.

Or if she just admitted her fault and begged him, he would have been willing to let her go.

However, Chu Nanli stubbornly refused to bow to him; as she turned to leave, her frail back was arrow-straight.

Make sure there’s no special treatment for the Princess Consort!

Ye Yunting could barely contain his fury.

When Lin Fuying returned from the palace, she received the delightful news that Chu Nanli had been locked up in the dungeon by Ye Yunting.

After inquiring about the reason from the servants, she felt excited and smug.

The dungeons are damp and dark; my sister must be suffering quite a bit in there.

Yunting is really too much; no matter how angry he is, he shouldn’t punish sister like that.

Dong Yue, let’s visit sister later.

...

You villain, release the Princess Consort immediately!

I’m warning you, if you don’t let her out now, I won’t be polite anymore!

Yanyan shouted at Ye Yi with an aggressive point.

Ye Yi was quite helpless as well.

Imprisoning her was the order of his master; he didn’t dare to release her.

Seeing Yanyan with a "ferocious" expression, yet her small face was so anxious it turned red, almost to the point of crying, Ye Yi suddenly felt as if he was being a bit of a bully.

Lady Yanyan, you should stop making a fuss. Instead of wasting your effort here, it would be better to prepare some food and warming items for the Princess Consort.

The dungeon is cold and damp; the Princess Consort might not be able to withstand it, Ye Yi reminded her indifferently.

Although well-intentioned, when Yanyan heard his reminder, tears streamed down her face on the spot.

Yanyan’s heart ached for Chu Nanli.

Thinking of Chu Nanli having to live alone in that cold, icy dungeon while pregnant, she must be enduring so much hardship.

Seeing Yanyan cry, Ye Yi was a bit flustered.

He pursed his lips and said nothing more, dutifully guarding the entrance to the dungeon.

Realizing that Ye Yi truly could not release Chu Nanli, Yanyan could only wipe away her tears and go to prepare the things needed for the dungeon.

Since she couldn’t rescue the Princess Consort for the time being, she wanted to make the Princess Consort as comfortable as possible in the dungeon.

Not long after, Yanyan returned, carrying a lot of stuff in big and small packages.

She came alone, and Ye Yi was curious how her small body could carry so much weight.

Are all these things for the Princess Consort? Ye Yi asked indifferently.

Yanyan glared at him, What’s it to you?

Ye Yi sighed helplessly, It’s fine, just tell the Princess Consort to be discreet when using them, so as not to be discovered.

After all, the Prince had sentenced the Princess Consort to reflect on her mistakes, and explicitly forbade any special treatment.

Now, with all this gear, it looked like she was off on a vacation; if the Prince found out, it might cost him his life.

Understood.

Yanyan acknowledged him with a response and headed toward the prison building.

As soon as she entered the cell, she couldn’t help but feel a sting at the bridge of her nose.

What kind of cold and filthy place is this!

The gloomy cell was devoid of daylight, filled with the stench of rot and mold.

The cell door was covered with rust, secured with iron chains, leaving inside barely a few straw mats.

Chu Nanli was sitting on the straw-covered ground, leaning against a blackened wall, looking isolated and alone.

Yanyan could hardly hold back the tears, but she didn’t want to worry Chu Nanli, so she wiped them and went over.

Princess Consort, Yanyan has brought you some food.

When Chu Nanli looked up, she saw not only the food box Yanyan was carrying, but also a pile of large and small packages containing bedding, her everyday clothes, hand warmers, and more...

Yanyan was really worried that she would be mistreated here.

However, she would have to use these things in secret; if Ye Yunting found out, he probably wouldn’t be pleased.

She planned to move them into her space.

After all, she would sleep in her space at night, and just set up a human figure outside.

Yanyan, unaware of Chu Nanli’s secret space, thought the cell’s simplicity dictated that she had brought too little.

Feeling that the Princess Consort might not have enough and would feel aggrieved, she was planning to fetch some other things.

Chu Nanli stopped Yanyan.

Yanyan, don’t rush off just yet, there’s something important to do.
