The next morning, Achen reported the matter to Ji Chenan.

"Your Majesty, Envoy Xiao and the Imperial Concubine were captured through a side door last night and are now imprisoned in the dungeon. What should be done with them next?"

Ji Chenan didn't even raise his eyelids. "Lock them up first. I promised to leave these two to the Queen to deal with personally." After a pause, he added, "Now that there's nothing else to do, you should go back to the Queen's side."

"Yes!" After receiving Ji Chenan's order, Achen retreated.

Ji Chenan looked into the distance and sighed. Just wait a little longer and the baby will be born. Then he will be able to see Ziyi.

For safety reasons, he hadn't seen her for several months. Now that many things had been settled, he could hardly suppress his longing for her.

In the distance, Jiang Ziyi was taking her daily walk in the courtyard when she suddenly sneezed twice.

Not only the Queen Mother, but also she herself was frightened at this moment.

The feeling of sneezing with a big belly is really terrifying.

The Queen Mother quickly ordered Nanny Yun to help her into the house, and quickly added two pieces of silver charcoal into the basin to make the room warmer.

"Ziyi, please stay indoors from now on. It's too cold. It might even snow in a few days."

Jiang Ziyi shrugged her nose and agreed with the Queen Mother's words.

After all, she almost suspected that she was going to get the baby out after those two sneezes she had just had.

Xiao Jingyun slowly woke up in the dungeon. Because he was hit on the back of his neck, he felt dizzy.

After shaking his head for a long time, he gradually regained consciousness.

When he saw the situation clearly, he was shocked.

He saw a person dressed as a palace maid lying not far from him.

Only then did I remember what happened last night.

He originally brought five counselors with him to the side door to pick up Mingyue, intending to leave Yao Kingdom after picking her up.

However, he never expected that Mingyue was hit by an arrow in the abdomen, and all of his group were knocked unconscious!

He anxiously touched his pocket and his heart sank. The token his father gave him was gone!

He searched everywhere on the ground, but found nothing. He felt cold all over. Could it be that the token was taken away by someone?

This is his only reliance. If he loses the token, he will have no one to rely on, and even returning to the State of Shen will become a luxury.

At this time, the jailer who delivered the food came, threw down a bowl of rotten rice and vegetables without any emotion, and then prepared to leave.

Xiao Jingyun hurriedly grabbed the railing, "Wait!"

The jailer turned around in confusion and looked at the man whose head was now as disheveled as a chicken coop.

"I am an old acquaintance of your queen! Can you please convey a few words to her for me?" Xiao Jingyun said hurriedly.

The jailer sneered and ignored him.

Without waiting for Xiao Jingyun to speak again, the jailer left.

Suddenly, a sharp female voice came from behind, "What do you want to do with that bastard Jiang Ziyi?!"

Xiao Jingyun looked back and saw that it was Mingyue who had woken up. Someone had treated her wound last night, but she was still gasping in pain.

She clutched her stomach and said viciously, "Tell me, what do you want to do with that bastard Jiang Ziyi!"

Thinking about the token he had lost and being locked up in this cold dungeon, his future was uncertain.

Mingyue still acts like she's her own benefactor, which is annoying.

Xiao Jingyun's eyes gradually darkened and his face turned frosty.

The words he spoke were like a sharp knife. "Don't you think about who is responsible for your falling into this situation?"

Mingyue was stunned by his question. Xiao Jingyun's tone clearly seemed to be blaming her!

"What do you mean? Did I cause you to be in this situation?!" She rushed over excitedly and beat Xiao Jingyun wildly.

Although she was not very strong, Xiao Jingyun could not tolerate her temper at all at this moment. Not only did she harm him without any brains, but she was now infertile and could be of no use to him!

He stopped pretending and revealed his true colors.

He pushed Mingyue hard, causing her to fall to the ground.

Mingyue fell to the ground. The wound on her hand had not healed yet, and now a new wound appeared.

She looked up angrily, "How dare you push me! How dare you push me!"

Xiao Jingyun looked down at Mingyue, who was sitting on the ground, and said coldly, "What do you think your current situation is? Do you really think you are still the most favored princess of Shen Kingdom and everyone has to look at your face?"

This man who had brought her a ray of light a few days ago, now uttered words that plunged her into a deeper hell.

Mingyue was not unaware that she had been abandoned by her father.

But she was spoiled since childhood and was unwilling to admit it.

So she kept making excuses for herself, finding reasonable reasons to weave a beautiful dream for herself, telling herself that as long as she could return to Shen State, then everything she once had would come back, and she could even trample that bastard Jiang Ziyi back under her feet!

However, the person whom she regarded as her greatest hope shattered her dream with his own hands.

She stumbled to her feet, screamed, and rushed towards Xiao Jingyun, trying to strangle him.

However, the strength gap between men and women is huge after all.

Especially since she is still injured.

Xiao Jingyun slapped her hard and knocked her to the ground.

Mingyue was knocked to the ground. She covered her face with hatred, bit her lower lip tightly, and her body shook like a sieve.

She was almost mad with anger at this moment, but she didn't dare to rush forward. She could only huddle in place, staring at Xiao Jingyun with resentment.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Jingyun snorted coldly, turned around, reached out to scoop up the bowl of rotten rice and vegetables, and found a corner to sit down.

He didn't know when he could get out, so he planned to keep himself alive for now. If he could meet Emperor Yao, he would put all the blame on Mingyue.

Moreover, he had been quite nice to Jiang Ziyi in the past. If he played up his relationship with Jiang Ziyi, maybe she would spare his life for this reason.

These are all Xiao Jingyun's beautiful imaginations.

However, ideals are full and reality is skinny.

Jiang Ziyi has the original owner's memories and knows very well what kind of person Xiao Jingyun is.

Even if he hadn't done anything evil to her in this life, this was the nature of people like him, and he was bad to the core.

Jiang Ziyi will definitely not show mercy to him.

Don't even think about sparing his life then. It's very likely that when he sees Xiao Jingyun, that will be the day of his death!
