The staff was surprised to hear this, it was just a woman.
King Kang asked again, "How is King An's affairs going?"
The staff said: "Your Highness, this matter will be handed over to the Grand Military Governor's Office for a thorough investigation. The people from the Grand Military Governor's Office will soon come to a conclusion."
"Prince An's condition is not very good. His Majesty has sent an imperial physician to the Prince An's mansion to treat him. Prince An is still in a coma."
Prince Kang nodded slightly, feeling a bit sorry. Why did the most useless Prince An get injured?
How nice it would be if the prince...
In the dark and cold dungeon, Jiang Shuning was awakened by a basin of cold water.
The black walls and various torture instruments all around were extremely terrifying.
Jiang Shuning shuddered.
She saw a man in black standing in front of her, his expression serious, his eyes full of scrutiny and intimidation.
"Did you kill Prince An?"
"Tell the truth about what happened on the hunting grounds."
"It's not me..." Jiang Shuning's face turned pale instantly.
She regretted it so much that she believed Jiang Yunxue's lies and went to Qiushou to harm Jiang Qingyao.
Jiang Qingyao is too difficult to deal with.
It seemed like she could guess what they were doing.
If she hadn't done it to deal with Jiang Qingyao, how could she have ended up in such a situation?!
"Yes, it's Jiang Qingyao!"
"Yes, it must have been her who did it. She knocked me unconscious and then went to harm His Highness Prince An. That must be it."
"My Lord, I am innocent. I didn't do anything. This was all planned by Jiang Qingyao. She wanted to harm His Highness Prince An!"
"Go arrest her and interrogate her!"
Since she was in trouble and trapped in a hellish place like a dungeon, Jiang Qingyao had no chance of escaping.
"Really?" The man in black whipped Jiang Shuning hard.
"Ah!" Jiang Shuning's face was distorted with pain and she lay on the ground.
The man in black: "How could this matter be related to the wife of Marquis Anguo?"
He glared at Jiang Shuning, murderous intent on his face, and questioned her harshly.
"I'll give you one last chance. Think it over before answering."
Jiang Shuning's head buzzed and she was completely stunned.
Suddenly a thought came to my mind.
She was shocked and frightened, and her voice was hoarse: "You, you are the Marquis of Anguo's man?"
The Grand Marshal's Office is your Majesty's eyes and your Majesty's sword, how could there be people from the Marquis of Anguo?
If that's the case, she's completely screwed.
Unspeakable fear overwhelmed her like a tide.
At this moment, she truly regretted provoking Jiang Qingyao.
…
Three days later, at Prince An’s Mansion.
Prince An finally woke up from his coma, his breath was barely there and his face was as pale as a ghost.
"Cheng'er, you finally woke up, Cheng'er." Concubine Qiao cried with joy.
After Prince An had calmed down for a long time, Concubine Qiao asked him what happened in the hunting ground.
"Cheng'er, how did you fall into the trap?"
"Hiss—" Prince An cried out in pain.
"My eyes?"
He remembered that his left eye was pecked blind by an eagle!
Princess Qiao burst into tears. Her son was now useless and would never be able to ascend the throne again!
He became blind and was not eligible to inherit the throne.
Prince An obviously realized this as well, and he collapsed and roared, "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
He suddenly grabbed Concubine Qiao's hand and said, "Mother, it was Jiang Qingyao, that woman who harmed me."
"Is it her?" Concubine Qiao was surprised.
"How could it be her?"
Prince An told her how Jiang Qingyao lured him into a trap, and he accidentally stepped into it, ending up like this.
Concubine Qiao was filled with rage: "She is trying to murder the prince, a capital crime, how dare she?!"
Prince An's eyes were filled with sinister intent. "Mother, hurry up and report to the Emperor, and have the Grand Commandant's Office arrest Jiang Qingyao."
Concubine Qiao was silent for a moment.
Arrest Jiang Qingyao? Jiang Qingyao is no longer the pariah who can be beaten and killed at will. She is now the county lady personally appointed by His Majesty and the wife of the Marquis of Anguo.
What evidence do they have? Just Prince An's words?
Concubine Qiao: "The Grand Commandery has interrogated Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Shuning and has determined that the animal trap was set by Jiang Yunxue. She set the trap and teamed up with Jiang Shuning to lure Jiang Qingyao to her death."
"When Jiang Shuning tried to push Jiang Qingyao into the pit, she was stopped by the secret guards. Jiang Qingyao was kind-hearted and didn't want to kill her. She just let the secret guards throw her into the bushes nearby."
Jiang Qingyao is kind-hearted?
Prince An almost didn't recognize the word "kind-hearted".
She was not soft-hearted when dealing with herself.
Concubine Qiao: "Now Jiang Shuning committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and Jiang Yunxue is still in prison, awaiting her fate."
Prince An's face looked extremely ugly, and his heart sank.
"Son understands."
"My son wants to get Jiang Qingyao, but that bitch Jiang Yunxue pretends to obey him but secretly disobeys him. She wants to kill her with Jiang Shuning so that Jiang Shuning can be the scapegoat."
"I didn't expect that this would expose their conspiracy, and instead give Jiang Qingyao the opportunity to frame me and lure me into a trap."
"Even if the Grand Commander's Office investigates, all the evidence will only point to Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Shuning."
"Jiang Qingyao schemed against everyone and played us around, yet she completely ran away with it."
Prince An felt a chill in his heart and his legs felt even more painful.
"Unless I lose all my dignity and reputation and insist that Jiang Qingyao used her beauty to lure me into a trap..."
Concubine Qiao's eyelids twitched. "Jiang Qingyao can also deny it flatly."
Although she relied on luck to reach her current position, Emperor Jinde stayed at her place for one night and gave birth to Prince An. From then on, the mother became more powerful because of her son.
But that doesn't mean she is a fool!
"Cheng'er, if you fall into the trap because of your lust for beauty, your father will probably be completely disappointed in you."
