The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 265. Rehearses
With the departure of the last two guards, a man who had been in hiding from the beginning immediately went inside the dungeon. By tightening his dull black robe. Walk carefully as he avoided the guards inside the passageway.
As soon as the man goes into prison. Ambiguous voices began to be heard. Voices of screams, moans and other sounds of despair rang out in the air. Even though the night had come, there were still many prisoners who still received punishment. The guards would not stop until they got the recognition they expected.
Ignoring all the sounds that echoed throughout the room, the man stepped forward with certainty. Heading to the deepest place in the dungeon.
"Hey why your food is never eaten huh!" A sound was heard from the end of the hall. The man squinted his eyes to clarify his vision. And sure enough, the man inside the prison cell was Pei Zhong Min, his master. The man immediately went into hiding so as not to be caught because there was a guard who was in front of Pei Zhong Min's holding cell.
The man looked at Pei Zhong Min with a complicated gaze. It's still one day her employer is detained in this place. But the appearance of his employer was a stark contrast from ordinary days.
His white clothes were stained with blood. There are scars in some places. His handsome face was also tainted with blue and black on his eyes and cheeks. How could his master end up like that?
Pei Zhong Min simply kept silent without responding. He didn't even look at it one bit. He just sat on the floor without a pedestal. Bend his right leg while the left leg is straight forward. But even though he had been in such a state, his face was still as haughty as ever.
"What's wrong?" Another guard came after hearing the commotion.
"He doesn't eat anymore." Prian answered, turning away annoyed. Throwing his plate over the food shell after showing it to his partner.
"Eh... Let it. He had been eating fancy food since he was young. How can he stand the prison food?"
"You're right. But it was in vain to give her food."
"Yes already. If he didn't want to it better not have to send it to him again before the previous meal runs out."
The guard thought for a while before nodding in agreement. "All right then." Then he looked at Pei Zhong Min who was still ignoring him and spoke arrogantly. "hey listen, if you don't eat this food, I won't send any more food here. You should know that there are still many people out there who have difficulty with food. You still have the good fortune of eating regularly before you die after the Queen Mother's mourning day ends." He said non-stop. "Hey you heard no?!" Continue while shouting. He felt that what he was doing was in vain.
"Just let him. It makes no difference what he eats anyway. Isn't he going to die soon? It is better that this food be given to someone else who can appreciate it."
"You're right." The man took back the plate containing the morning leftovers and exchanged them for the food he had just put in. "This is better. Huh!" The guard snorted.
"Don't waste time on people who are going to die. It smells here uh! Let's get out." When he said that, disgust was very visible on his face. Even though these guards were inside this dungeon for quite a while, they still could not get used to the smell.
The two guards snorted and immediately left without turning around in the slightest. They were still talking until they vanished in the corner of the hallway.
Seeing the two guards leaving, the man immediately came out of hiding and went to face Pei Zhong Min.
"Your Majesty. Please punish this subordinate. This subordinate is incompetent." The man immediately knelt down in front of Pei Zhong Min's prison cell. He escaped capture because he did not participate in the rebellion at the palace. He was on another mission outside the capital. When he did not expect to receive news if the rebellion could be thwarted and everyone, including his lord, was arrested and put in a dungeon.
Since then, he has been watching the situation and looking for an opportunity to get Pei Zhong Min out of prison. But this time he had a chance. As he looked at the state of his lord, he felt extremely guilty and incompetent as a subordinate.
Pei Zhong Min turned his head when he heard a familiar voice. He saw his faithful men kneeling in front of his cell. "Wakeup. Get me out of here."

The gloomy and cold inside of the prison was inversely proportional to the situation in a room in the eastern palace. Emperor Pei An Long may have approved his proposal to remove the memory of the family members of the rebels who were willing to do so and replace it by placing trust in the palace, but Lu Jing Yu was still not too confident to successfully pull her off.
After all, his experience hypnotizing Pei Zhang Xi that day was his first experience and was probably just a coincidence and luck to him. Moreover, the success rate of hypnotism depends at most on a person's mental strength. If that person's mental strength was strong and capable of resisting, it would be extremely difficult to control their minds.
Moreover, the person he would hypnotize was not just anyone but a rebellious family that had a high possibility for them to rebel for revenge someday. So, to minimize that possibility, he must be able to make sure if his hypnotism is successful without gaps.
Therefore, ever since Emperor Pei An Long said that he would consider his decision, he had been training to hypnotize some people living in the eastern palace ranging from servants to guards to train. He will ask everyone to try to fight what he wants to say. Some people could be easily brainwashed by Lu Jing Yu but some of them had such strong mental strength and abilities that Lu Jing Yu failed to hypnotize them. Yet every time it failed, Lu Jing Yu did not give up but instead continued trying to hypnotize the person until he succeeded.
Chu Fei was one of the people he was extremely difficult to defeat. He had tried to hypnotize Chu Fei three times but he still failed. Right now, after dinner, he again called out to Chu Fei to give it another try.
"Your Majesty, please be quiet for a moment. Let me concentrate." Pei Zhang Xi was already annoyed after he was ignored all afternoon. He had tried to be patient and hoped he would have a quiet night together with Lu Jing Yu, but in fact, this wife was completely heartless and went back to ignoring him even when night had come. So as a form of protest, he deliberately made a fuss to make Lu Jing Yu forced to stop and change his attention.
"Yu'er, you've done it a few times since. Now you better go get some rest." Pei Zhang Xi said seriously.
"But I haven't managed to defeat Chu Fei since then." Lu Jing Yu sighed. If he could not defeat Chu Fei, what if there was someone who possessed mental strength greater than Chu Fei who became his opponent later on.
"Maybe because you're too tired." Pei Zhang Xi grabbed Lu Jing Yu's hand. Waving a hand at Chu Fei to hint at her to immediately exit the room.
"Huh! But I'm really worried if I fail to do this job and mess things up. Imagine if I failed, it was possible that someone would secretly devise a plan for revenge." Lu Jing Yu sighed. He is tired now.
"Don't torture yourself too much. If anyone insisted on resisting, it meant that they did not have the intention to let go of everything. You don't have to waste time on people like that. The most appropriate place for them is in prison." Hearing Pei Zhang Xi's words, Lu Jing Yu sighed. What Pei Zhang Xi said was correct. If that was their choice, he could do nothing.
