Even though Princess Wenxuan sent everyone around her out to look for them, the hour promised by Tan Qihui had passed, but there was still no sign of the brother and sister.
Seeing this, Tan Qihui took his soldiers and left without saying a word.
Princess Wenxuan panicked. Although she was used to doing whatever she wanted in Chuzhou, she still knew the seriousness of disobeying the order, and hurried to stop the people.
But she had sent out her men, so how could a weak woman like her stop them?
Tan Qihui looked at her with contempt, and swung the long sword in his hand with its scabbard in front of him. Without using much strength, he pushed the person away from him.
She staggered twice before she could steady herself. Just as she was about to stop the person again, the guards who had been sent out to look for the person came back.
However, there was no sign of Xiao Minru and Xiao Qingwei, brother and sister, behind him.
"Why did you come back when you didn't find the person?" She frowned and scolded in annoyance.
The visitor hurriedly explained, "Princess, the princess, and the second young master, they can't come back..."
"Pah." Before the guard could finish his words, Princess Wenxuan slapped him on the head. "Who are you cursing at, you bastard? Are you tired of living?"
"Princess, please calm down." The guard didn't care about his burning face and hurriedly explained, "Princess, you misunderstood. I meant that the princess and the second young master might be in the prison right now. If you don't rescue them, they won't be able to come back!"
"What? Heavenly Prison? How is that possible?" She was shocked and subconsciously didn't believe it.
Weren't they supposed to go out and relax? How did they wind up in the prison?
There was no time to stop Tan Qihui at the moment.
"Please explain to me, Princess, what exactly is going on?"
The guard was afraid of being blamed again, so he quickly told Princess Wenxuan all the news he had found out, and he did not forget to add, "This should be true. Many people said they saw it with their own eyes, and according to their descriptions, the clothes worn by the two siblings are exactly the clothes worn by the maids and servants in our palace.
All the evidence points to those two people being the Princess and the Second Young Master."
It's no wonder these three are from the same family. Their morals are not similar at all! They are practically identical.
When he heard that the two siblings were sent to the Sky Prison on charges of assassination because they coveted Tian An's shop, he not only did not look for his own reasons, but instead put all the blame on Tian An.
"It's just a shabby shop! It's a compliment to Minru that she likes it. Not only did she not give it to me, but now she's sending me to jail.
This cheap girl from the country is really not worthy of being on the stage.
Humph! If Minru and Qingwei suffer any injustice in the prison, this princess will not let her off. "
Princess Wenxuan is really used to being domineering in Chuzhou. She thought that she had come to the capital and was still the same as before in Chuzhou. Her two children were both in prison, but she was still talking big.
Tan Qihui, who stayed aside to watch the fun, was amused and couldn't help but exclaim, "The princess is really so arrogant!
But, don't you know that those who enter the Heavenly Prison will be killed at least.
Especially since they've been inside all night, and now they're probably...
"It's so difficult for your daughter and son to come out safely!"
After he finished speaking, he laughed heartily with a gloating look, waved his hand, and walked past the pale-faced Princess Wenxuan with his soldiers in a swagger.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and then all looked at Princess Wenxuan, "Princess, what should we do now?"
"What should I do? What should I do? Of course I should rush to the prison to pick up Minru and Qingwei.
You're so clueless, asking me all the questions. What use are you to me? " Princess Wenxuan took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to continue her outburst.
But when he turned around and saw that they hadn't moved, he got angry again, "Hurry up and prepare the carriage! What are you still standing there for? A bunch of losers."
…
In front of the Heavenly Prison, Princess Wenxuan and a group of people just stopped. Seeing this, the defending soldiers immediately became alert.
Before they could get close, the leading soldier drew his sword and pointed it at them, forcing them to stop. "What are you doing? Don't you know this is a prison? Back off immediately, or I'll ask you to come in and sit down."
Upon hearing this, Princess Wenxuan frowned, her face overbearing. "How dare you! Do you know who I am? You're blind."
She originally thought that if she revealed her title as princess, the other party would submit to her.
Unfortunately, the Duke of Anguo had already warned her. She was arrogant, but he was even more arrogant than her. "I don't care who you are. I'll give you one more chance. Leave now, or you will be treated as trespassing in the Heavenly Prison."
"You..." She was so angry that she raised her hand and was ready to make it hard.
Seeing this, the soldiers drew their swords and surrounded them, shouting, "Retreat, retreat, retreat—"
Princess Wenxuan had never seen such a scene before! Her legs went weak and she was finally helped by her maid into the carriage. She ran away in shame, her tail between her legs.
She didn't dare to break into the Heavenly Prison, but she couldn't leave the two children in there any longer. Her only option now was to find a solution from the palace.
She hurriedly submitted the visiting card to the palace again, and fortunately, she received news soon this time.
In order to show her weakness, she took off all the pearls and jade jewelry on her body and changed into plain clothes before entering the palace.
She had originally thought that the Queen would sympathize with her, but she didn't expect the Queen to frown upon seeing her dressed so dignified, "Sister-in-law, is there a new death in the family?"
Princess Wenxuan choked, her breath stuck in her throat, and her face flushed red. It took her a long time to adjust her mood and pretend to be about to cry.
"Sister-in-law Queen, my two children have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. I am heartbroken and have no energy to dress up, which is why I behaved so badly in front of the palace. Please, Sister-in-law Queen, please forgive me for missing my children so much."
The Queen put aside her own indecency for the moment and asked knowingly, "Minru and Qingwei are in the prison? Aren't they under house arrest? Why are they in the prison again? What crime have they committed?"
Princess Wenxuan choked again, not knowing how to respond. After thinking for a moment, she evaded the main point and said, "They, they were framed."
"Oh? Framed? Framed by whom? Sister-in-law, please tell me in detail and I will definitely take charge of it for you. I want to see who has such courage." The queen said seriously with an angry look on her face.
Seeing this, Princess Wenxuan's face lit up with joy, and without thinking, she revealed Tian An's name. She also lied with her eyes open and made up a story that Tian An had maliciously framed her two children and sent them to the Sky Prison. She directly described Tian An as a vicious woman who was full of evil and ruthless.
She became increasingly excited and eloquent as she spoke, spouting vicious criticisms without noticing the Queen's increasingly dark face...
