Chapter 24 Lu Ying’s Expression Is Priceless
The room fell silent for a moment.
Lu Ying pushed aside the bed curtains, his voice hoarse: "What?"
On the inner side of the bed, Shen Yinning endured the soreness and propped herself up.
She pulled the brocade quilt up to her chest, her delicate, rosy face glowing with an excited smile. In her small, raspy voice, she repeated Gui Quan’s words: "Your Highness, Gui Eunuch said that Sister has been thrown into the Ministry of Justice’s prison!"
Lu Ying’s expression darkened as he turned to her: "Why are you so happy?"
"Me? Happy? Not at all! I was just afraid you didn’t catch it clearly, so I was kindly repeating it for Gui Eunuch!"
Lu Ying knew this little vixen was taking delight in others’ misfortune.
He asked Gui Quan, "What did she do to get herself thrown into the Ministry of Justice’s prison?"
"Your Highness, I’ve inquired about it. The Crown Princess was arrested because of the recent popular storybooks circulating around the Capital. An anonymous informant reported to the Ministry of Justice that all those storybooks related to the Crown Princess were orchestrated by her. The Ministry deemed the books to be filled with lewd verses and sordid writings, so they dispatched officers overnight and arrested Her Highness."
The chamber fell into an eerie silence.
