Several officers and soldiers urged again: "Madam, please?"
Su Muyan still stood there motionless: "What if I don't leave? You want to take me to the government office without any evidence? That's really disregarding the law! If you have the guts, take me to the government office today."
She snorted coldly, her fingers gently stroking her pregnant belly. "If anything happens to the baby in my belly, none of you will be able to escape responsibility! My husband's family is a family of imperial physicians. Even the royal family has to give them some respect. I want to see how arrogant you are."
Seeing her fearless look, Xiao Yunchen glanced at the leading officers and soldiers and said, "The Zhao family harbored a fugitive from the imperial court. They knowingly committed a crime and disregarded the law. Arrest the fugitive. I will take full responsibility for any consequences!"
Su Muyan didn't expect that this man, who looked gentle, was so unreasonable and rude!
She asked loudly, "You are so arrogant! What kind of official are you?"
"You don't need to know what kind of official I am." Xiao Yunchen sneered, "Hurry up and arrest him!"
The officers and soldiers did not dare to delay any longer, so they had to suppress their worries and start arresting people.
They didn't know what kind of official this young and handsome man was, but they heard from their superiors in the yamen that they should obey this man's orders in everything.
However, the Zhao family’s background is not simple either!
Su Muyan struggled a few times, but didn't dare to struggle too much, for fear of really disturbing the fetus.
She looked at the housekeeper and said, "Tell Zhao Ju to pick me up as soon as possible."
The housekeeper nodded hurriedly: "Yes, ma'am, don't worry, I will send someone to find the master right away."
Su Muyan was taken to the dungeon of the government office by Xiao Yunchen.
When Li Sisi learned that Su Muyan was arrested, she immediately became restless.
"Nian Nian, should we go to the dungeon?"
Seeing her eagerness to watch the fun, Li Nian shook her head helplessly: "You go, I'll stay and look after Jin He."
"Okay, I'll go then?" Li Sisi clenched her fists. "If it's really Zhao Ju and Su Muyan who poisoned them, I'll beat them to pieces! Avenge Jinhe!"
When the word "poisoning" was mentioned, Li Nian's soft brows instantly darkened.
Li Sisi rode to the government office on horseback and saw an old man who looked like a doctor hurriedly entering the office.
I also heard the officer leading the way say something like "in the dungeon".
At this time, night has fallen, and the moon has quietly emerged, with a few stars dotted in the gray sky.
Li Sisi followed the old doctor into the dark dungeon of the government office and saw Xiao Yunchen standing in the dim candlelight.
The flickering light of the fire made his handsome face, as gentle as jade, half bright and half dark.
His dark eyes stared straight ahead, and it was impossible to tell what he was feeling or what he was thinking.
"Chenchen." Li Sisi walked closer and called softly.
Hearing her voice, Xiao Yunchen's dark face softened instantly. He glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Madam, why are you here?"
"I came to check out the situation. What happened? I just saw a doctor coming to the dungeon?" Li Sisi asked, but her eyes were looking inside the dungeon.
Xiao Yunchen explained gently, "Su Muyan is pregnant. She was probably too emotional today. She started to feel abdominal cramps soon after arriving in the dungeon, so we called a doctor."
Li Sisi recalled the day when she saw Su Muyan at the gate of the mansion. It seemed that she was indeed pregnant?
"Wouldn't that be troublesome? The entire Su family would either die or be exiled. According to the verdict at the time, Su Muyan should have been exiled to Nanling, right? Now that Su Muyan is pregnant, do we have to wait until she gives birth before handing the child over to the Dali Temple?"
"We can only submit a memorial to the capital first and then make a decision."
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a woman's loud scream.
"ah--"
Li Sisi was startled: "Could something really have happened?"
As soon as he said that, he saw a jailer running over hurriedly: "Sir, this is bad! The doctor said we must find a midwife immediately. I'm afraid that the lady is going to give birth prematurely!"
"Then go find a midwife quickly." As soon as Xiao Yunchen finished speaking, another officer hurried in from outside the dungeon.
"Sir, Young Master Zhao Ju requests an audience!"
Xiao Yunchen nodded calmly, then turned his head and asked Li Sisi, "Madam, do you want to come with me?"
Li Sisi waved her hand: "No, I'll stay here, so that no one gets killed."
Xiao Yunchen said naturally: "That's her fate."
Li Sisi was stunned, as if she didn't expect Xiao Yunchen to say such a thing.
Seeing Li Sisi's expression, Xiao Yunchen smiled gently: "Madam, if you want to stay, then stay. If you feel uncomfortable, you can leave at any time. I will be in the lobby of the government office."
Li Sisi nodded: "Okay, go ahead!"
After watching Xiao Yunchen leave, Li Sisi thought for a moment and decided to go into the dungeon to see what was going on.
Even in modern times with advanced technology, childbirth is still painful and dangerous for women, let alone now in ancient times.
The ancients said: When a woman gives birth, she is going through the hell. This is absolutely true in this day and age!
Li Sisi followed the occasional low cries and found the dungeon where Su Muyan was imprisoned.
Su Muyan was seen wearing a dark blue brocade robe, covered in weeds, with messy hair and a pale face.
He is a little fatter than when I saw him before.
Su Muyan didn't seem to feel any pain this time. She sat on the haystack and stared at her fiercely.
"Who are you?"
Li Sisi was stunned when she met Su Muyan's bloodshot eyes: "Don't you recognize me?"
"Do you know me?" Su Muyan's face changed.
It's like this again, another person who knows me!
"I know him!" Li Sisi waved the jailer to open the cell door and squatted next to Su Muyan. "Are you losing your memory?"
Su Muyan was silent.
Li Sisi was stunned. What the hell? Did he really lose his memory?
"You don't even remember who you are, do you?" Li Sisi asked.
Su Muyan continued to remain silent.
Li Sisi: Wow, she also encountered the legendary amnesia plot.
"To tell you the truth, you might have been deceived by Zhao Ju. Actually..."
Before Li Sisi could finish her words, Su Muyan's face changed again. She clutched her stomach and groaned, "Ugh...it hurts so much! I want to get out!"
She looked at Li Sisi with pleading eyes: "Please, for the sake of our acquaintance, rescue me. My child...cannot be born in a place like this..."
Li Sisi shook her head. "I can't help you with that, but don't worry, I will make sure your child is born safely. And Zhao Ju has already come to the government office, so you can relax. The midwife will be here soon."
As he was speaking, the old doctor who had been waiting in the cell came forward and took Su Muyan's pulse again.
He consoled her, "Madam, please don't get too emotional. Your pregnancy has been stable. As long as you relax, the baby will be fine."
Su Muyan looked at the old doctor: "You mean, something bad will happen to me?"
The old doctor hurriedly said: "No, I didn't mean that..."
