Chapter 77 Imprisoned

To be honest, Jiang Jiu has not had much personal experience of the feudal monarchy in the fifteen years since he traveled through time.

After all, in the small Xiang County, the county magistrate Jiang, to whom she had sought refuge, was an official of moderate importance.

She went out to do business and everything went smoothly.

Even when facing the Ninth Prince Lu Yunyang, she did not feel much aggrieved.

However, facing Princess Qi Yang today, she felt despised and at the mercy of others, unable to resist at all.

As soon as they returned to the palace, Princess Qi Yang had someone carry Prince Qi into the room.

She just shouted: "Come here, catch this bastard for me."

In Prince Qi's mansion, besides the ninth prince Prince Qi, Princess Qi Yang is the most senior.

When the maids and guards heard the order, even though they didn't understand it, they had no choice but to do it.

Besides, Princess Qi Yang brought her own guards and maids.

They grabbed Jiang Jiu without saying a word.

Jiang Jiu was completely confused: "What are you doing? Why did you arrest me?"

Princess Qi Yang's guard held Jiang Jiu down and kicked her knee hard. Her legs went limp and she fell to her knees unconsciously. The stiff stone hurt her knees.

Princess Qiyang smiled coldly: "You bastard, you still have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for you, how could the prince have suffered such a heavy crime?"

"He was already in poor health, and you caused him such serious injuries."

Jiang Jiu was so angry that he could hardly speak. He gritted his teeth and argued.

"I didn't ask him to go to the Guanyin Temple. He insisted on going. Instead of arresting the assassin, you are questioning a weak woman like me. I know nothing."

Princess Qiyang slammed the table and shouted, "It seems that my ninth brother has spoiled you. You are so sharp-tongued that you actually talk back. Someone, come and teach her a lesson."

Jiang Jiu, who had never been beaten in his life, was slapped thirty times by Princess Qi Yang's governess, and his face was swollen.

A good man never suffers a loss in front of him. Jiang Jiu understood that no one could protect her except King Qi.

Unfortunately, the Prince of Qi was seriously injured at this time, and the hidden weapon was poisonous, so he fainted. Doctor Yu, Lu Ming and other guards were all guarding in the room.

The guard Zhao Li is not yet qualified to enter the palace.

Nanny Qian, Mudan and others were also blocked outside the yard by Princess Qi Yang's men and could not get in at all.

At this time, Jiang Jiu cried out to the heavens and the earth, but no one answered.

"Put her in the dungeon for me. If anything happens to my ninth brother, she will be buried with him."

Jiang Jiu was beaten unconscious and thrown directly into the dungeon of the palace.

The dungeon was not only dark and damp, but also extremely dirty and messy, with rats even running around without restraint.

Jiang Jiu really underestimated her enemy. Princess Qi Yang had been in her house for so many days, but she hadn't done anything strange. She had been eating and drinking with Lu Yunyang all day. Who would have known that she would do something like this when she wasn't paying attention.

One is a princess and the other is a concubine.

At this moment, even if Princess Qiyang killed her first and then reported to the emperor, Prince Qi would not be able to do anything to her after waking up.

Jiang Jiu died in vain.

No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

After slowly waking up, I racked my brains to think of a way to save my life, even if it meant giving people money. At this moment, as long as the problem could be solved with money, I was willing to spend any amount.

Princess Qi Yang kept Jiang Jiu hungry for a whole day and night. Jiang Jiu was so hungry that he felt dizzy and had no strength left.

Jiang Jiu didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard the sound of the cell door unlocking.

"I'm sorry to have made you suffer, but you brought this suffering upon yourself. Who made you so greedy that you actually wanted to be the prince's woman?"

Princess Qi Yang was so weird and eccentric that Jiang Jiu was a little confused.

Does she want to be the prince's concubine? She is just trying to force someone to do something.

Jiang Jiu still ignored her. She was just a concubine. No matter how favored she was, there must be a reason why Princess Qi Yang insisted on dealing with her.

Jiang Jiu is just waiting.

Sure enough, Princess Qi Yang snorted arrogantly, giving Jiang Jiuchen an opportunity.

"However, if you really want to stay with the prince, I can help you, but you need to pay a price..."

Can Jiang Jiu say that he doesn't want to stay with King Qi at all?

She just wanted to leave the palace and live a carefree life like an ordinary person.

I don't want to be a concubine, nor do I have the ambition to be the Princess of Qi.

However, she still had to listen to Princess Qi Yang's conditions.

"What's the price?"

Princess Qiyang: "I heard that you are now the young master of Yiye Pianzhou. In order to win the favor of the prince, you gave him all the secrets of Yiye Pianzhou. My ninth brother, for the sake of the people, made the secret public."

"Although my ninth brother has won the favor of the people, he has offended the current court. You know, if these secrets fall into the hands of the court, they can make a lot of money."

It’s probably because of the production methods. Jiang Jiu had thought of this a long time ago, so he made all the methods public.

A book costs one or two taels of silver. Now Jiang Jiu has made a lot of money by selling books.

However, Jiang Jiu knew that Princess Qi Yang's main purpose was not this.

But she said that Jiang Jiu was trying to curry favor with King Qi, which was really unfair.

Jiang Jiu did that to save his life. If he didn't give the production method to Prince Qi, he would be forced by Princess Qi Yang to give it to the court.

In comparison, Prince Qi at least had feelings for her, but Princess Qiyang and the court really treated her life like an ant.

"However, I am not here today for these secret techniques."

Sure enough, Princess Qi Yang found an excuse to arrest her, and there were other reasons, reasons that Jiang Jiu didn't know either.

"Then why are you doing this? As for money, the princess, the king of Qi, and the imperial court are all richer than me. What do you want?"

Princess Qi Yang slowly squatted down, approached Jiang Jiu, and whispered something in Jiang Jiu's ear.

Jiang Jiu was confused: "What? Treasure map? How could my mother have a treasure map?"

Princess Qi Yang shook her head and said, "It was not left by your mother, but by your maternal grandmother. It is said that it was buried somewhere, and only your mother knows the location. Didn't you hear your mother tell you about it?"

Jiang Jiu got even angrier: "I've been away from my mother for less than a hundred days. Even if my mother said something, do you think a hundred-day-old child can remember it?"

"I have been looking for the keepsake of the boat for fifteen years. I have never heard of the thing you are talking about. I don't know. I don't know at all."

Princess Qiyang thought about it and nodded: "Yes, you were too young when your mother left you, so it's normal that you didn't know. However, I want to keep you by my side. Those who know the truth will definitely come looking for you."

Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I don't know, who else would know? The thing you are talking about, it can't be that it doesn't exist at all."

Princess Qiyang seemed unsure and turned away: "I will go ask again."

Only after Princess Qi Yang walked away did Jiang Jiu breathe a sigh of relief.

Oh my God, what did her grandfather do?

Jiang Jiu felt that she could no longer stay in Daning, so she decided to go to another country.

She could at least live a good life by hiding her name and relying on the money she earned.

When she dozed off, he gave her a pillow. At midnight that day, Zhao Li came quietly.

There weren't many prisoners in the dungeon of the palace on weekdays.

Zhao Li and Xiao Yimo worked together, one gave the silver while the other took action, and soon they found Jiang Jiu.

"Xiaojiu, hurry up, we'll rescue you..."
