Chapter 5 Mental Attack

And it’s still a little warm. I will definitely find a chance to give it to them tomorrow.

We must not let the old lady and the others fall.

Well, before we leave tonight, let's go to the Imperial Hospital. Grandpa, father, and second uncle need a lot of medicine for their injuries, so let's use the medicine from the Imperial Hospital as compensation.

Prince Li was badly injured, and the emperor was afraid that he would do something bad, so he locked his scapula with an iron chain to prevent him from using his martial arts.

That dog emperor is really a cruel and ruthless guy. It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. This dog emperor is even worse than a tiger.

She and Prince Li did not cancel their engagement. It was a marriage granted by the emperor. Even though they were demoted to commoners, they could not cancel the engagement themselves.

How could the crime be solved if the Marquis of Anding's Mansion was absolved?

Prince Li's injuries also require medicinal herbs. Considering his pity, I will treat him when the time comes.

As soon as they finished eating, the jailer took away their bowls and gave them a few whippings as a warning before leaving.

After the first and second ladies took care of the old lady and made her lie down, they sat against the wall with their clothes on.

"Yuer, come and sit next to mother." The eldest lady patted the empty space next to her and said.

"good."

Su Yue took Su Xue over, and Su Yue sat next to the first lady, while Su Xue sat next to the second lady.

"Yu'er, don't be afraid, sleep next to your mother." The eldest lady stretched out her arms to hold Su Yue and leaned her against her shoulders, patting her gently like when she was a child.

Su Yue closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare warmth.

After a long time, when there was no more noise in the cell and only the breathing of the crowd, Su Yue released his mental power, went to the palace, found the Imperial Hospital, and moved the herbs, medical books, medicine-making tools, and earthenware jars for boiling medicine into the space before retracting his mental power.

A night passed.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

"Get up, everyone get up!"

At daybreak, the jailers woke everyone up by beating gongs.

Everyone rubbed their eyes and helped each other up.

"Everyone come out."

The doors of the three cells were opened, and the people inside came out and followed the jailer to the cell door.

When he was almost at the door, a jailer brought in a basket of shackles.

"Everyone wears it."

Immediately, Jailer A brought shackles to the woman walking in front and prepared to put them on her.

The shackles weighed at least twenty pounds, which was fine for young people. Su Yue looked at the old lady and her mother. After just one night, they looked haggard. Could they walk with these on?

Su Yue was immediately furious. What kind of crime had the Marquis' Mansion committed to deserve such punishment?

Su Yue walked out and said to Jailer A, "Brother Jailer, we are all old, weak, and sick here. Why do we need to wear these shackles?"

There is no way for the elderly, the weak, women and children to escape.

Jailer A raised his head and stared at Su Yue fiercely: "You're a prisoner, and you still dare to speak to me like that?"

"We have only been demoted to commoners, not criminals." Su Yue said coldly to Jailer A without any fear.

The laws of the Xifeng Kingdom clearly stipulate that demoted commoners are different from criminals and can be exempted from wearing shackles and do not have to be subjected to the tattooing and beating punishments.

“Pah.”

The jailer B cracked his whip in front of Su Yue and said, "How dare you talk about the law with me at this hour? Even if I beat you to death today, who can stop me?"

"Yue'er, no." The eldest lady was so frightened that her heart was trembling. She hurriedly pulled Su Yue behind her and said with an apologetic smile: "Sir, my daughter is ignorant. Please forgive me. We will wear it. I will go first."

Then he stretched out his foot.

"Mom, no."

Su Yue said she would never let these jailers who used chicken feathers as their authority bully her.

She pulled the eldest lady over, released her mental power, and attacked the jailer A.

“Ahhh…”

Jailer A threw away the hand holding the shackles, fell to the ground with his hands covering his head and screamed.

"What's going on?" Jailer C was frightened and hurried over to check what was going on.

Jailer B was so frightened that he stood in front of Su Yue, not knowing what to do.

"Yuer, what's going on?" The eldest lady was so frightened when she saw that healthy man suddenly become like this that her already haggard face turned pale.

"Mom, this man might have a relapse of his old illness. We shouldn't be afraid." Su Yue patted the eldest lady.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion watched in silence as Jailer A rolled on the ground and wailed, cursing in their hearts that he deserved it and that it was his retribution.

"Go and call the boss quickly." Jailer C couldn't figure out what was going on, so he turned around and shouted to Jailer B, who was stunned.

Jailer B came to his senses and ran out quickly.

"What did you do?" Jailer Bing stood up, looked at the people in the Marquis' Mansion viciously and asked.

"Sir, please don't speak without evidence. What can we do standing here under your noses? Perhaps his old illness suddenly flared up, and you didn't send him to the hospital and are questioning us. Are you trying to put the blame on us?"

Su Yue stood in front of him and questioned Jailer C.

Jailer Bing looked at the trouble-making girl viciously. She was Prince Li, no, the fiancée of the commoner Murong Li. A beautiful girl raised in a secluded place had such an overbearing aura. Was she a lady from a noble family?

His companions didn't have the skills to do this beautiful lady, and he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

"Girl, you'd better be a good girl and don't cause trouble. You haven't set off yet." Jailer C said sarcastically. How dared she be so arrogant and domineering, not afraid of being tormented on the way? How many beauties died during exile.

Su Yue raised her eyebrows: "Are you threatening us, sir?"

"I don't dare, girl, take care of yourself, hum!"

"What happened?" As soon as the jailer C finished speaking, the prison boss hurried over.

The jailer A, who was rolling on the ground, no longer had a headache. He got up after hearing this and pointed at Su Yue, saying, "Boss, it's her. It must be her."

"What's wrong with me? Tell me." Su Yue asked contemptuously.

"You, I..." Jailer A pointed at Su Yue and was unable to speak. He said that she was the one who did it, but where was the evidence?

Besides, his headache is gone now, there is only some residual power.

"If you can't explain it, don't make random accusations." Su Yue rolled her eyes at him. If he dared to threaten her, she wouldn't mind doing it again.

"What's going on?" the prison boss yelled again. No one paid any attention to his question.

"Boss, this girl said they are commoners and don't need to wear shackles." Jailer C stepped forward and said, without mentioning Jailer A rolling on the ground.

This is so fucking weird. The person who was in excruciating pain just now is fine in just a moment.

"Oh? You said that?" The jailer asked Su Yue with a gloomy look.

"Well, it's me who said it. The laws of Xifeng Country stipulate that we are not criminals, but just demoted commoners." Su Yue said lightly.

"You are familiar with the law, so don't wear it. Take it away." The jailer looked at Su Yue deeply and said.

"Yes." Jailer C responded.

"Follow me." He shouted coldly to everyone in the marquis' mansion.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion followed Jailer C silently, their eyes filled with confusion and fear about the future.
