C524 Death Row Prisoner Lin Mei
Covering her nose with a handkerchief, Dongfang Qingqing and Qin Zhu followed the warden into prison. There were a total of 70 cells in Underground Prison, and each cell contained dozens of prisoners. They were tortured badly and some of the prisoners were locked up by a strange chain. Obviously, those prisoners had a high realm and were given special treatment.
"Warden, this is your territory. The maid I want to pick must be a mortal, and her appearance cannot be too mediocre. Also, she must have committed a serious crime, and there is almost no possibility of her being pardoned. Is there such a prisoner?"
As she scanned the prisoners, Dongfang Qingqing asked the warden in a low voice. That man was a mortal. She must find a mortal prisoner to replace the man. As the man will live in her chambers, it is necessary for him to look better. And she would kill the prisoner later, so the prisoner had to be a ferocious person. Only then would she be able to do it.
The warden fell into deep thought. Dongfang Qingqing's request really made things difficult for her. Almost all of the prisoners here were disciples who committed crimes. If a mortal maid committed a crime, most of them would be executed on the spot and would not have the chance to enter the Underground Prison.
Suddenly, the warden thought of a prisoner and her eyes lit up. She said, "Princess, there are really prisoners here that the princess needs. Her name is Lin Mei, she was once the chief disciple of the Clearwater Palace, Guo Yuanyuan's maid. Because she had done something wrong and was punished by Guo Yuanyuan, her heart was filled with resentment. She actually planned to poison Guo Yuanyuan to kill her, causing the Palace Master of the Palace of Clear Water to fly into a rage out of humiliation. She was sent here. "
"The Palace of Clearwater, Lin Mei!" Dongfang Qingqing muttered to herself. The Palace of Clear Water did not belong to the Indifferent Hall's Thirteen Palaces. It was just a small palace that belonged to the Shuling Palace. Lin Mei was indeed suitable to become that man's scapegoat.
"I want this Lin Mei. Go and bring her out. I will wait for you outside!" After Dongfang Qingqing finished speaking, she walked out of Underground Prison with Qin Zhu. The atmosphere inside made her feel suppressed and she did not want to stay for a moment longer.
"Princess, the air outside is still better!" Qin Zhu heavily breathed in the fresh air. This was the first time she entered the Underground Prison. It was a very cruel place and she was even very afraid. If she committed a crime and went in...
Thinking of this, Qin Zhu hurriedly slapped herself. She thought to herself that she was really stupid. Why did she curse herself? She would not commit a crime if she followed Dongfang Qingqing! Hence, she would not be locked up in Underground Prison for the rest of her life!
"Of course!" Dongfang Qingqing's mood was actually similar to Qin Zhu's. In the Indifferent Hall, she must not make any serious mistakes. One should know that not to mention her, even people with a higher status than her might be locked up in the Underground Prison.
For example, last time Holy Maiden was locked up in the Underground Prison because of a crime. In the end, she was tortured to death! What was Holy Maiden's identity? She was the one who would inherit the position of the Indifferent Hall's Palace Master in the future. If nothing unexpected happened, in the future, Dongfang Qingqing would be the Indifferent Hall's Holy Maiden!
Dongfang Qingqing even knew that the death of Holy Maiden in the previous batch had made her master sad for many years. That Holy Maiden was painstakingly nurtured by her master, but because of her unruly character, she had caused a huge disaster and ended up in a miserable state!
Dongfang Qingqing and Qin Zhu waited outside the prison for about 15 minutes before the warden finally carried a woman in a white prison uniform out of the prison. There was no blood stains on the female prisoner's clothes. It was a brand new prison uniform. Obviously, the warden made her change out of the bloody prison uniform. He even gave her some Medicinal Pill to suppress the injuries on her body.
"Lowly servant, why aren't you kneeling down to thank me? Princess chose you to be her servant. This is the fortune that you have cultivated for ten lifetimes. If not, at most three to five years, your life will be in prison forever."
The warden shouted loudly. The female prisoner Lin Mei's luck was really good. Lin Mei, who was bound to die, was actually chosen by the princess Dongfang Qingqing. Lin Mei's future was just around the corner. Hence, she did not dare to offend the female prisoner Lin Mei too much.
The maidservant of Princess Dongfang Qingqing, even if she was a lowly mortal servant girl with the surname 'Lin'. She was also a servant girl of the princess and her status was very different from the other servants. Just like Qin Zhu! When Lin Mei walked out of the prison, her status would be even higher than the warden's!
In the Indifferent Hall, the maid was given four surnames. From low to high, they were Lin, Xu, Qin and Yan. Lin Mei was the lowest grade mortal maidservant. Qin Zhu, on the other hand, was the eldest maidservant. As for Yan Jin... Actually, she had already gotten rid of the category of servant. In the entire Indifferent Hall... There were only three maids with the surname Yan like Yan Jin!
One should know that the Indifferent Hall had taken in beautiful girls who were homeless and became servants. All of them had poor aptitude and comprehension abilities, and some of them were even unable to cultivate. Under such circumstances, it would be as difficult as ascending to the Extraordinary Stage as ascending to the heavens.
Just like Yan Jin, she had followed Lee Yuhua for two hundred years before she broke through to the Extraordinary Stage. She was given the surname Yan and got rid of her identity as a maidservant. A leap. He had become one of the guardians of the Indifferent Hall. Such an achievement... Only a maid with great perseverance and great fortune had the chance to achieve it!
The warden deeply understood that it was Dongfang Qingqing who had saved Lin Mei. When the Palace Chief of Jade Water sent Lin Mei over, he had instructed her to torture Lin Mei for three to five years before executing her. Lin Mei had just entered the prison for three months and was chosen by Dongfang Qingqing. Luck!
"This servant Lin Mei greets Princess!" After Lin Mei heard the warden's scolding, she immediately knelt down. On the surface, she was polite. But Dongfang Qingqing could see that the fierceness in this person's bones did not subside. He was a true maniac.
"Get up! From now on, you are my maid. From now on, you have to turn over a new leaf and be a good person, understand? " Dongfang Qingqing lightly said. She knew that Lin Mei was a true fugitive. If a mortal was tortured to this extent, an ordinary person would definitely cherish this opportunity. She was grateful to her, but Lin Mei's gratitude was fake.
Lin Mei's eyes hid a bloodthirsty and fierce light. Dongfang Qingqing could feel it. In other words, the months of torture... Lin Mei did not regret poisoning Guo Yuanyuan. She would not change either. This was her innate nature. She would accompany her for the rest of her life.
Dongfang Qingqing even felt somewhat fortunate that Lin Mei was a mortal who could not cultivate. Otherwise, given Lin Mei's character, who knew how much trouble she would bring to the Indifferent Hall? Such a person was most suitable to be the scapegoat for that man!
"Thank you Princess for saving my life. This servant will follow your instructions!" Lin Mei kept kowtowing to Dongfang Qingqing and Dongfang Qingqing could not help but laugh coldly in her heart. Words and thoughts were not true and this Lin Mei really knew how to act.
Dongfang Qingqing secretly sighed. Lin Mei was an unrepentant and ferocious maniac. She must not be left alive! As an Extraordinary Expert, it was impossible for her to sense wrongly. "Forget it. You should not have died in my hands. But, I need you. Your death can be considered worth it. "
"Qin Zhu, bring her back!" Dongfang Qingqing threw down these words and turned around to leave. Indeed, her Spiritual Sense clearly swept across. The moment she turned around, the corner of Lin Mei's mouth revealed an undetectable cunning smile!
"Lin Mei, follow me!" Qin Zhu lightly instructed. The warden and the rest did not know Dongfang Qingqing's intention but she was very clear that this Lin Mei was just a scapegoat that Dongfang Qingqing found and she would not pity Lin Mei.
Even Qin Zhu could see that this Lin Mei's heart was abnormally vicious and did not repent. She was definitely not a good person!
"Farewell Princess!" The warden and the group of jailers bowed and kowtowed. In their eyes, after Dongfang Qingqing took Lin Mei away, Lin Mei's good days were about to come. Unfortunately, their thoughts were completely wrong. Lin Mei's death was about to arrive...
In Indifferent Palace, Qin Zhu arranged for Lin Mei to wash her body clean. After changing into the servant's clothes, Qin Zhu gave Lin Mei a Minor Rejuvenating Pill. They were going to that cave tomorrow and must treat Lin Mei's injuries.0
"Qin Zhu, do you think my heart is too ruthless and too bad?" Lin Mei had already fallen asleep and Dongfang Qingqing and Qin Zhu were still sitting in the hall. Dongfang Qingqing somewhat helplessly asked and used the life of the death row prisoner Lin Mei to exchange for the life of a man. Was it really not cruel?
Hearing this, Qin Zhu giggled and said, "Princess, don't think about these things. She originally wanted to die. You let her enjoy the whole day and relieve the pain earlier. This was a gift to her, a person like her. She shouldn't have lived in this world! "
Qin Zhu did not have the slightest bit of guilt in her heart. Lin Mei's entire life seemed to be to fulfill that man's wish! Perhaps, this was Lin Mei's destiny to come to this world!
Dongfang Qingqing sighed again. She naturally understood what Qin Zhu said, but she was still unable to relax in her heart. Using the life of a condemned prisoner from the Indifferent Hall to exchange for the life of a man that she did not know, was it worth it?
"Forget it! Lin Mei originally deserved to die, but that man accidentally intruded the Indifferent Valley. He should not have died, he should have lived!" Dongfang Qingqing secretly sighed. Thinking of this, her heart felt much more comfortable.
Two days later, Lin Mei's injuries had healed and Dongfang Qingqing and Qin Zhu could not wait any longer. If that man did not wake up to eat, he would definitely starve to death. Early in the morning, Dongfang Qingqing had Qin Zhu bring Lin Mei over.
"Princess, you are looking for me?" Lin Mei respectfully greeted Dongfang Qingqing. Previously Qin Zhu had said that she did not need to work during this period of time and Dongfang Qingqing suddenly calling her made her feel uneasy.
"Your injuries have already healed!" Dongfang Qingqing lightly asked. This Lin Mei's thoughts were deep and was good at hiding.
Indeed, Lin Mei nodded her head and replied, "Princess, this servant's injuries are no longer serious. Actually this servant can work now."
After Dongfang Qingqing heard this, she was secretly annoyed in her heart. What did it mean to be able to work if there were no major issues? Lin Mei's injuries were completely healed and she used the Minor Rejuvenating Pill to treat a mortal. One night's time was enough to make Lin Mei fully recover. It could be seen that... Lin Mei was on guard against her in her heart.
"We will talk about work later. I am going out to pick herbs. You can accompany me!" Dongfang Qingqing spoke bluntly. She was also testing Lin Mei. She had saved Lin Mei. Would Lin Mei be loyal to her?
A trace of uneasiness appeared on Lin Mei's face. She hurriedly knelt down and said nervously, "Princess, this servant is a mortal. The forest in the valley is too dangerous. This servant will follow you and I am afraid that it will implicate you!"
Lin Mei's meaning was very clear. There were many Demonic Beast in the forest and she followed Dongfang Qingqing to pick herbs. Dongfang Qingqing would have to be distracted to protect her when she encountered the Demonic Beast. The loss outweighed the gain!
Of course, Dongfang Qingqing understood when she heard it. Lin Mei did not want to follow her to die. Lin Mei did not believe that she would protect Lin Mei. Lin Mei was a fugitive. However, Lin Mei had her own thoughts. She died for no reason. Lin Mei was not willing to accept it!
"You don't need to say anymore. With my strength, what are you afraid of?" Dongfang Qingqing coldly snorted and continued, "Alright, you don't need to go back and prepare. We will set off now. You only need to carry the bamboo basket for me."
Dongfang Qingqing actually had the Interspatial Ring, but every time she went out to pick herbs, she would not put the herbs into the Interspatial Ring. This was just her hobby and it could also let some people know that she was indeed going to pick herbs.
"Yes, Princess!" Lin Mei was helpless and could only nod her head in agreement. Dongfang Qingqing was her mistress and she had no right to reject!
