Qi Yuning heard Shuangjiang's words and asked, "What?"

Shuangjiang said, "It's already spread outside. Just now, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the other princes returned from the imperial mausoleum after paying homage to their ancestors, Princess Baozhu entered the city gate in a prison cart.

Last night, Princess Baozhu stabbed Qin Yuli in public. Fortunately, Qin Yuli is still alive, but she was seriously injured. On her way back to the city, she fainted from the wound that had ruptured!"

Qi Yuning was also slightly surprised and said, "How could Lu Baozhu kill someone? No matter how stupid she is, she wouldn't be so stupid as to kill Qin Yuli in public."

Qi Yuning stood up and said, "Let's go to the princess's mansion."

As Qi Yuning walked outside the princess's mansion, he saw Princess Pingrou and Prince Consort Lu leaving in a hurry.

Lu Ze came out and met Qi Yuning, and asked, "Have you heard about Baozhu?"

Qi Yuning nodded and said, "What's going on? Lu Baozhu wouldn't kill anyone, would she?"

Lu Ze said, "This must be a trap set by the Crown Prince and Qin Yuli to deliberately frame Baozhu. I'm going to the prison to send a maid to Baozhu."

Qi Yuning saw the two maids behind Lu Ze, Chunhua and Qiuyue, whom she had met before. Qi Yuning said, "I'll go with you."

Lu Ze glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting dark. The cell is dark and damp, and there might be snakes, insects, rats, and ants..."

Qi Yuning said: "I'm not that delicate, let's go together."

Inside the Shengjing government prison.

It was indeed very dark inside. Although it was not yet completely dark outside, lanterns were already needed to illuminate the interior. The jailer in charge of the cell saw Lu Ze and Qi Yuning coming and stepped forward to greet them.

"Greetings to Princess Qi, Prince Lu."

Qi Yuning asked, "Where is Lu Baozhu being held?"

The jailer said repeatedly: "Princess Lu is imprisoned in the best cell, on the east side. Princess Prince, please come in."

As we walked eastward, it became brighter and brighter. It was said to be the best cell, but it was still a cell after all, just brighter and more ventilated than those in the west.

"I should have gone up and stabbed her again. If I see Qin Yuli again, I will kill her!"

"I'm so pissed! Ah!"

Lu Baozhu kicked the mossy stone wall in the cell, and screamed in pain every time she kicked.

Qi Yuning smiled lightly upon seeing this.

Lu Baozhu heard Qi Yuning's laughter, turned around and saw Qi Yuning laughing at her, and said angrily: "Qi Yuning, you dare to kick me when I'm down?"

Qi Yuning said slowly: "If you really want to kick someone when they are down, I will not come to this dark place, where there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants."

Lu Baozhu said, "Huh! Brother, why haven't you rescued me yet? Qin Yuli deliberately framed me. Even if I have to be punished, I will kill her with my own hands. Even if I have to exchange my life for hers later, it's worth it!"

Lu Ze frowned upon hearing this.

Qi Yuning walked over and knocked Lu Baozhu's head hard. "Is it worth it to trade your life for Qin Yuli's worthless life?"

Lu Baozhu covered her head and said, "When have I, Lu Baozhu, ever suffered such humiliation? Such anger? I must kill Qin Yuli!"

Qi Yuning said, "Speak less. I don't think Qin Yuli's target is you. You should stay here for now. It will teach you a lesson."

Lu Ze brought Qiuyue and Chunhua to Lu Baozhu and said, "Let them take care of you for now. With grandma here, you'll be fine."

…

In Queen Qin's palace.

Seeing her eldest daughter kneeling and crying before her, Queen Qin said with heartache, "Baozhu has really gone too far this time. It's also my fault for doting on her too much. Fortunately, Yu Li has survived, otherwise Baozhu would have lost her life."

Princess Pingrou cried, "Mother, Baozhu didn't do anything. You watched her grow up. Baozhu is a kind child. She wouldn't do anything."

Zhao Chong said from the side, "Royal sister, everyone in the palace saw it last night. It was Lu Baozhu who did it. How could those palace servants lie? Besides, if it wasn't Lu Baozhu, could it be that Qin Yuli killed herself?"

Uncle Qin bowed to Queen Qin and said, "Sister, even if Yu Li was wrong in the past, she has been in jail. Her mother died, and she has changed her ways. This child is pitiful enough to have lost her mother. Lu Baozhu is trying to kill her. You must stand up for Yu Li and cannot protect Lu Baozhu!"

Queen Qin said, "Brother, don't worry. I will never tolerate Baozhu! Pingrou, your Baozhu really deserves to be punished. Let her reflect on her mistakes in prison for three years!"

Pingrou cried, "Mother, Baozhu is a daughter of a noble family. She can't stand being in prison without seeing the light of day for three years, let alone three days!"

Duke Qin said to Pingrou, "Princess, Yu Li is still lying on her deathbed, and Lu Baozhu is already getting a good deal by spending three years in prison!"

Zhao Chong also said: "Royal sister, I have already spared Lu Baozhu for three years for your sake."

Prince Consort Lu supported Pingrou and said, "Princess, three years will pass quickly."

Princess Pingrou said, "Three years? Baozhu is already eighteen, and in another six months she'll be nineteen. How can she get married if she delays for another three years? How can she get married? If she stays in prison for three years, she'll be a cripple when she's released. Mother, please, don't let Baozhu stay in prison for three years."

Queen Qin said distressedly, "Alas, Baozhu is indeed wrong, but..."

"Great aunt." Qin Yuli, supported by two maids, walked step by step into the Queen's palace.

Qin Yuli said weakly, "Grandma, please forgive me for entering without permission."

Seeing Qin Yuli's pale face, Queen Qin said, "Hurry and sit down."

Qin Yuli sat down beside Queen Qin, leaning into her arms and crying, "Grandma, the imperial physician said I might have hurt my uterus, and I'm afraid I won't be able to have children in the future... You must avenge me, and don't let Lu Baozhu off easily."

Princess Pingrou glared at Qin Yuli and said, "How cruel you are! How did my Baozhu offend you? Why would you harm her like this?"

Qin Yuli cried and said, "Aunt, it was Lu Baozhu who harmed me. Everyone saw it. How could I hurt myself? Aunt, if Lu Baozhu only went to jail for three years, I would not agree. I am afraid that I will never be able to marry a good husband because I have no children in this life. I want Lu Baozhu to go to jail for ten years to avenge my hatred!"

Queen Qin frowned and said, "Yu Li, this..."

Uncle Qin knelt before Queen Qin and said, "Sister, Baozhu is your granddaughter, and Yu Li is also the apple of our Qin family's eye. You cannot show favoritism."

Queen Qin was in a dilemma when she heard this. If she didn't sentence her granddaughter to ten years, she would have difficulty explaining to her family. But if she sentenced her granddaughter to ten years, how could she bear to let her granddaughter suffer like this?

Zhao Chong sighed softly and said, "If Yu Li can't find a good husband after injuring her uterus, Baozhu will not be spared easily.

But what if Ze'er is willing to marry Yu Li? In this way, Yu Li will have found a good husband, and Baozhu will not be unforgivable.

Yu Li, are you willing to marry Lu Ze and let the Lu family make amends for your life and let Baozhu go?"

Qin Yuli lowered her eyes and said, "I have liked cousin Ze since I was young, and I am willing to marry him..."

Princess Pingrou frowned and said, "But Ze'er is already engaged to Princess Qi, and they'll be married in less than a month!"
