Chapter 2388 Is the County Princess Here to Save Us?
There were five girls locked in this cell. Shu Yu had seen them all before, but she couldn't quite remember what they looked like anymore.
I only met Kang Shuxian once before, on the road.
Caught in two black market disputes, the five girls were devastated, huddled in a corner without making a sound, just like when they were trapped in the Changjin Prefecture black market, their faces were numb.
They had already escaped, but unexpectedly, they were dragged back into the mire without their knowledge.
Shu Yu sighed inwardly, looked up and stared for a while before finally recognizing the person leaning against the corner of the wall as if unconscious. "Kang Shuxian?"
The latter remained motionless, it was unclear whether he hadn't heard or didn't want to hear.
The other girls remained still, as if the outside noise was not good news for them.
Shu Yu could only call out once more before Kang Shuxian finally slowly turned her head.
Her eyes were very red and swollen, and she had to squint to see who was at the door.
The next moment, she hurriedly stood up, but fell back down heavily because she stood up too quickly.
Fortunately, the girl next to her helped her up.
Kang Shuxian disregarded everything else; tears streamed down her swollen eyes as she stumbled to the door, gripping the frame tightly and sobbing, "Princess, Princess, you've come! We're innocent! We really didn't know anything, we didn't do anything, sob... Princess..."
Her words were filled with despair. This girl was not old; she was the youngest of all the girls. She had just turned sixteen last year.
"Don't worry, I know you are innocent."
Upon hearing this, Kang Shuxian's lips twitched, and she laughed and cried at the same time.
For her, Shu Yu was their lifeline. She had saved them last time, and she had come to save them again this time.
The other girls in the cell were incredulous when they heard Kang Shuxian's voice, and it took them a while to turn around and look at her.
Upon seeing that it was indeed Shu Yu, they came to the door one by one, some supporting each other and others stumbling, saying, "Princess."
“Your Highness, we have truly been deceived by He Fang. We had no idea she was a member of the black market.”
“We have told you everything we know, we have not hidden anything, and we can swear to that.”
This interrogation was noticeably more rigorous than the one at Changjin Palace last time.
The girls have been in jail since the incident, for more than two months now.
Their cheeks were so thin they were sunken in, and they had no energy or spirit at all.
Shu Yu sighed, "I know you weren't involved. Don't worry, the interrogation is over. I'm here to take you out."
The girls, who had been eager to defend themselves, fell silent upon hearing this.
They stared blankly at Shu Yu, but Kang Shuxian was the first to react, asking with a mix of tears and laughter, "Can we...can we really leave?"
"Um."
Shu Yu gestured to the officer beside her, who, seeing that the girls had calmed down, took the key and opened the cell door. "Come out."
Kang Shuxian and the others stepped out of the prison gate in a daze, their steps unsteady.
Only when they were standing outside, face to face with Shu Yu without any obstruction, did they look at each other with surprise and delight.
"It's out! It's really out!"
Shu Yu looked at their disheveled appearance and said, "Let's go, we can talk outside first."
Shu Yu turned to leave, but suddenly a familiar voice came from beside her, "Princess, Princess, I am also innocent, please take me out."
