She was carefully advising Su Qianyue from the side. She must have been specially invited by Su Yuan to serve Su Qianyue. It seemed that this baby would be a turning point for the Su family!
"Yun Qianmeng, I didn't expect that you would have this day!" After a group of maids and old women took out the cushions they brought with them and spread them on the round stool in the cell, Su Qianyue sat down slowly, then looked at Yun Qianmeng with a sneer on her face, and there was no lack of gloating in her tone!
However, after saying this, Su Qianyue couldn't stand the strong stench in the cell. She couldn't help but take out the scented silk handkerchief from her sleeve to cover her mouth and nose, and her delicate brows couldn't help but frowned!
Seeing this, the nanny beside her immediately winked at a little girl. The little girl immediately took out the red sandalwood incense burner from the brocade box she was carrying. She then opened the lid of the incense burner, put a few incense sticks in it and lit it. Just as she was about to hold it in front of Su Qianyue, the nanny scolded her, "You stupid thing, how can you leave this incense so close to Miss? You just told me a few days ago, and you forgot it?"
After scolding the little girl, the nanny looked around and found that the only place in the cell where the incense burner could be placed was the desk in front of Yun Qianmeng. She pointed at the desk and ordered, "Put it over there!"
The little girl walked to the desk as she was told, looked at the neatly arranged books, jewelry boxes, and flowers on one side of the desk, and then placed the rosewood incense burner in front of Yun Qianmeng, and then retreated to Su Qianyue's side!
Yun Qianmeng sat upright behind the desk, holding a book in her hand, and did not react at all to Su Qianyue's arrival!
These people are nothing but clowns. Instead of wasting time on them, you might as well think about how to save yourself!
However, when Yun Qianmeng saw Su Qianyue's unintentional touch to her abdomen and the wisps of smoke rising from the rosewood incense burner in front of her, a plan gradually emerged in her mind!
Especially after smelling the rich aroma emanating from the smoke, Yun Qianmeng made up her mind. Since Su Qianyue was so unwilling to let her go, she didn't need to be too kind!
Yun Qianmeng slowly put down the book in her hand, smiled faintly and said, "With Miss Su by my side, even in this prison, life won't be boring!"
With just one sentence, Su Qianyue straightened her back from her lazy sitting position, as if she was about to fight with someone!
"Yun Qianmeng, do you really think I would be so kind as to come and see you? Don't you think about the relationship between our two families? Daddy has spared your life until today, and your Yun family's ancestral grave is already smoking. How dare you refute my words! Come here, slap him in the face!" As she spoke, Su Qianyue's eyes fell on the female jailer beside her!
The female jailer naturally understood that Su Qianyue wanted her to take action, but last time, the female jailer was silenced by Prince Chen before her whip even touched the corner of Yun Qianmeng's clothes. If she hit Yun Qianmeng now, she was afraid that Prince Chen would destroy her entire family. Thinking of this, the female jailer just lowered her head, as if she didn't see Su Qianyue's hint, which made Su Qianyue secretly angry!
Su Qianyue naturally heard from Su Yuan what Prince Chen had done for Yun Qianmeng. At this time, Ning Feng was guarding the door of the prison, and she was only let in after much persuasion. If she let her people beat Yun Qianmeng, she was afraid that Prince Chen's anger would spread to her father, so she ordered the female jailer to do it. However, she didn't expect that the female jailer was so cunning that she pretended not to see her eyes. Su Qianyue was so angry that she wanted to stand up and teach the disobedient female jailer a lesson herself!
The nanny saw Su Qianyue's angry look and immediately warned her, "Young lady, take care of yourself! You are not feeling well, so please don't get angry! If you have any problems, just leave it to the master. Why dirty your hands?"
After being reminded by the nanny, Su Qianyue finally remembered that her body was no longer the same as before. She immediately straightened herself up and took a few deep breaths. Only then did she suppress the anger in her heart. Then she turned her spearhead towards Yun Qianmeng and sneered, "Yun Qianmeng, you are now a prisoner, yet you are still so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you know that in this prison of the Ministry of Justice, if I want you dead, you will definitely not live to see tomorrow!"
Su Qianyue was threatening Yun Qianmeng just to regain the face she had just lost!
But in Yun Qianmeng's eyes, it looked childish and ridiculous. The smile on her face widened, and she immediately responded, "If Miss Su had such courage, she would have done it herself a long time ago. Why would she have to use someone else's hands?"
Su Qianyue was speechless after hearing these words, but she had no way to speak. She could only stare at Yun Qianmeng. After a while, her expression changed and she said with a calm smile, "Miss Yun is right! I came here to thank you for the generous gift you gave me at the Korean Palace last time. It will benefit me for the rest of my life!"
Although he spoke with a smile, there was a hint of gritted teeth in his words!
Upon hearing this, Yun Qianmeng smiled. That enchanting smile made people feel like they were born in a fairyland, and they were completely unaware that they were actually staying in the stinking prison of the Ministry of Justice!
"Miss Su, why are you so polite? That's just what I should do! Miss Su gave me a big gift, so of course I have to return a gift, and I have to return a bigger gift to show my sincerity! But seeing Miss Su's rosy face at this moment, she must be enjoying this big gift very much! In this way, Qian Meng can let go of her worries. Qian Meng has been unable to sleep and eat well day and night because she is worried that Miss Su doesn't like the big gift. Now it seems that Miss Su likes it very much!" Ignoring the anger in Su Qianyue's eyes, Yun Qianmeng said such a long string of words in a roundabout way. Even Yun Yiyi, who was sitting next to him, was confused and didn't quite understand what the big gift Yun Qianmeng was talking about!
As for what happened last time, Su Qianyue could only grit her teeth and swallow her blood. How could she discuss Yuan Qingzhou's insult with Yun Qianmeng in public? Wasn't that digging her own grave?
Not only would it ruin her reputation for the rest of her life, but it would also make the Duke of Han think she was such a frivolous woman, actually discussing such unspeakable things in public! It would also make the Duke of Han think that she was dissatisfied with Yuan Qingzhou and the Duke of Han, and that was why she brought up such a scandal!
Su Qianyue is not stupid, she understands the seriousness of the matter!
Besides, she was going to marry into the Duke of Han's Mansion and would be a member of it in the future. If she offended the Duke of Han's Mansion for the sake of pleasure, she would have a hard time in the future. Moreover, discrediting the Duke of Han's Mansion would not benefit her, Su Qianyue, at all, but would make Yun Qianmeng, that bitch, laugh at her!
"Let's bring all the things up!" Su Qianyue quickly changed the subject, looked at Yun Qianmeng, and gave instructions to the girls beside her lightly!
The maids who had been standing outside the cell came in with food boxes in their hands. At Su Qianyue's signal, they easily opened the boxes and placed them in front of Yun Qianmeng, saying with a smile, "After all, we are related. Seeing Miss Yun's beauty almost fading, I feel bad too! So, I asked the servants to prepare some exquisite food as a token of my appreciation!"
Looking at the plates of exquisite and delicious food placed in front of her, Yun Yiyi was already envious, but facing Su Qianyue, she was still a little wary!
After all, the old lady and Su Qing have been at odds for a long time, so Yun Yiyi naturally has a strong resistance to Su Qianyue!
But Yun Qianmeng took out the silver hairpin from her hair and used the end of the hairpin to check the food in front of her one by one!
Su Qianyue watched as her kindness was wasted by Yun Qianmeng. She also saw Yun Qianmeng's petty thoughts, meticulously checking each piece of cake. She was immediately enraged. She no longer cared about the nanny's advice and suddenly stood up and rushed to Yun Qianmeng, pointing her finger at her nose and yelling, "What do you mean? How dare you insult me like that!"
"If Miss Su didn't do anything, why should she be afraid of my inspection?" Yun Qianmeng's hands continued to move. She brushed away Su Qianyue's hand that was pointing at her nose and replied lightly!
Even Yun Yiyi found it funny to see her enemy acting like this. She instantly jumped off the bed, ran to Su Qianyue's side, and shoved her to the other side...
Little did she know that Su Qianyue had been supported by someone before, and hadn't put much effort into standing on her own, let alone standing steadily! Yun Yiyi suddenly ran over and bumped into her, catching her completely off guard. In an instant, she fell hard to the ground, and her lower abdomen happened to hit the sharp corner of the desk!
"You... Ouch... My stomach hurts... It hurts so much..." Suddenly, Su Qianyue held her stomach and cried out in pain. The servants and old women beside her immediately changed their expressions and rushed forward nervously, wishing they could hold Su Qianyue in their hands!
"Blood...blood...Oh no, the lady is bleeding..." A girl who helped Su Qianyue up looked at the bloodstains on the hem of her skirt and suddenly screamed!
"What?" The nanny who was originally taking care of Su Qianyue rushed over and pushed aside the maid beside her to support Su Qianyue. However, she found that the blood on Su Qianyue's feet was getting more and more. The nanny's face turned pale. She no longer cared about the rules of the noble family and shouted towards the door, "Go and get a doctor quickly, go quickly, the young lady is not well..."
The maids waiting at the door were all terrified and pale, and they all rushed out. At this time, Su Qianyue had already fainted from the pain. The nanny was also scared and sweating profusely, but she could only bite the bullet and order the maids and old women beside her to carry Su Qianyue out of the cell quickly!
"Tsk, what bad luck! Such a thing actually happened. She deserves it!" Yun Yiyi sneered at Su Qianyue's unfazed look, as if the little life she knocked away had nothing to do with her at all!
However, her attention was still on the plates of pastries in front of her. She licked her lips, then looked up at Yun Qianmeng and asked carefully, "Sister, are these pastries poisonous?"
When Yun Qianmeng checked just now, she watched with wide eyes, but saw that the silver hairpin didn't react at all. But for the sake of safety, Yun Yiyi still opened her mouth and asked!
Yun Qianmeng's gaze had long been on the book in front of her. When she saw Yun Yiyi's question, she just said "hmm" lightly!
Upon hearing this, Yun Yiyi immediately showed a happy expression, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth!
"Yun Yiyi, you bitch, you killed my cousin, and you can still eat it!" At this time, Yun Ruoxue, who was in the cell opposite Yun Qianmeng, glared at Yun Yiyi and roared!
Yun Yiyi swallowed the snack in her mouth, a smug glint in her eyes, and then sneered, "Second sister, your cousin is pregnant before she even got married. Such a lewd woman should have been thrown into a pig cage long ago, and yet she is still being served by so many people. She is really shameless! However, when it comes to shamelessness, second sister, you are not bad either, and your concubine is even more amazing. It turns out that such things can be passed down. You really do have the same blood flowing in your veins, so filthy and despicable!"
Yun Yiyi's words made Yun Ruoxue so angry that she immediately picked up the vase in her cell and threw it at her. However, there were flowers and water in the vase, and it was very heavy. Yun Ruoxue didn't throw it away and accidentally hit her foot. She immediately hugged her foot and jumped around in pain!
"Hahaha, you deserve it!" But this scene became a joke in Yun Yiyi's eyes!
However, before she could finish her laugh, she saw two female jailers approaching, then opened the cell door on her side, and immediately grabbed Yun Yiyi like a chicken, dragging her out...
"What are you doing? What do you want to do? It's none of my business, don't touch me!" Yun Yiyi's voice was getting farther and farther away, while Mrs. Li and the old lady who had woken up were lying beside the wooden pillar and kept shouting Yun Yiyi's name, not understanding why she was taken away alone!
Watching Yun Yiyi disappear in the cell, the two immediately turned their gazes to Yun Qianmeng. However, just as they were about to speak, they found that Yuan Dong was staring at them with a cold face, which made their hearts tremble. They knew that if they insulted Yun Qianmeng at this time, Yuan Dong would probably take action immediately!
Fortunately, Yun Yiyi was brought back not long after she left. Looking at her frightened pale face, it must have been Su Yuan who brought her there after learning that his daughter was hurt!
"Miss Yun, the master invites you!" But this time it was Yun Qianmeng who came!
Looking at the evil smile in Yun Yiyi's eyes, Yun Qianmeng knew that she must be putting all the blame on herself, so she gave Yun Yiyi a meaningful smile in return and then stepped out of the prison door. Compared to their rudeness towards Yun Yiyi, the two female jailers just followed Yun Qianmeng respectfully and did not make things difficult for her. Seeing this, Yun Yiyi felt very uncomfortable and then started to eat the food in front of her non-stop!
Ning Feng, who was guarding the door, saw Yun Qianmeng come out and immediately blocked the female jailer's way with his sword. He said coldly, "Who allowed you to bring Miss Yun out without permission?"
"This..." Looking at the coldness emanating from Ning Feng in front of them, the two female jailers were filled with fear for a moment, but they had to obey Su Yuan's orders!
"It's me!" At this time, Su Yuan's voice came from not far away!
Everyone turned around and saw Su Yuan striding towards them with an angry face. His eyes were filled with sinister intent, as if he wanted to kill Yun Qianmeng, which made people afraid to look at him. Only Yun Qianmeng looked at him face to face calmly, not showing any sign of being at a disadvantage!
"Has Lord Su forgotten the prince's order?" Ning Feng looked at the murderous aura on Su Yuan and spoke immediately!
"I haven't forgotten! It's just that Yun Qianmeng has gone too far! Guard Ning, please rest assured that I will not break my promise to the prince! It's just that my daughter was hurt in prison just now, and as a father, I must seek justice for my daughter! I just want to know the whole story, and I hope Guard Ning will not stop me!" Su Yuan stared at Yun Qianmeng, and spoke these words word by word with great hatred!
But Ning Feng wasn't Su Yuan's bodyguard. He had been by Prince Chen's side since birth, so naturally he wouldn't let Su Yuan take the person away. He held his sword in front of Yun Qianmeng and Su Yuan, then said, "No! If there's anything, wait until the prince comes over. Since Lord Su has the prince in his heart, then naturally he must put the prince first in everything. Why are you acting so impulsively now?"
Su Yuan was also very tough now. He turned his eyes to Ning Feng and said threateningly, "Guard Ning, the consequences of this matter are not something a mere guard like you can bear! This is a matter concerning the bloodline of the Duke of Han. If you try to stop me again, don't blame me for being rude!"
"I really want to know how rude you are going to be!" At this time, King Chen, who was riding a horse madly, spoke coldly. His eyes as cold as snow mountains stared at Su Yuan coldly, making Su Yuan shiver in his heart. Just thinking of the suffering Su Qianyue had endured, the hatred in his heart spread again, and he wished he could tear Yun Qianmeng in front of him into pieces!
As King Chen arrived, a carriage actually drove up behind him, but the carriage was parked a little far away, making it difficult to see who was sitting inside!
"Your Highness, Yun Qianmeng has gone too far today and hurt Yue'er..." Even if he was furious, Su Yuan still knew how to control his words. Originally, he wanted to keep the fact that Su Qianyue was pregnant a secret until she was three months pregnant, but now she had an unexpected miscarriage. If the news reached the Duke of Han's Mansion, she would not be able to be the principal wife and would be accused of failing to protect her offspring!
"If Su Qianyue hadn't forced her way into the cell, how could such an accident have happened?" King Chen seemed to know everything clearly. When he opened his mouth, Su Yuan's face turned pale and his expression became very ugly!
"Ning Feng, go to the Duke of Han's Mansion to get two hundred-year-old ginsengs, and ask the Duke of Han's Mansion's housekeeper to send them to the Su Mansion for Miss Su's health!" Seeing that Su Yuan stopped talking, Jiang Muchen looked at Yun Qianmeng and said this!
"Your Highness..." Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He already knew from Prince Chen's words that the Duke of Korea's Mansion had already known that Su Qianyue was pregnant!
"Go and do your work! I have something to ask Miss Yun!" As he said that, Ning Feng drove away the two female jailers and personally supervised Su Yuan to leave!
The surroundings fell silent in an instant. Yun Qianmeng glanced at King Chen and said calmly, "Yun Qianmeng is leaving!"
But how could Prince Chen let her leave? He stood in front of Yun Qianmeng in a flash and said, "If you don't want the people you care about to get hurt, then follow me!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Justice!
Yun Qianmeng frowned, but followed him into a room that seemed to be where officials usually worked!
"Your Highness, if you have anything to say, please speak up!" Seeing that Prince Chen seemed to be in no hurry and even had the mind to appreciate the ink painting hanging on the wall, Yun Qianmeng spoke lightly!
"Do you hate me so much?" Turning around, King Chen looked at Yun Qianmeng intently, with obvious hurt in his eyes!
However, before Yun Qianmeng could answer, he laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You already answered last time! But, Yun Qianmeng, even if you hate me, I will marry you!"
Seeing Prince Chen's sudden serious expression, Yun Qianmeng's face became even more solemn. She then said indifferently, "Your Highness, please take back your words! Yun Qianmeng will definitely not marry you!"
Prince Chen, however, refused to listen to Yun Qianmeng's words. He only stared at the slightly haggard face in front of him, then sneered and asked, "You still hope that Chu Feiyang will come to save you! Don't worry, I won't give him such an opportunity! Even if he sets out now, traveling day and night, it will take him ten days to reach Kyoto! And Kyoto's city defense forces are all my people. Do you think he has wings or can burrow into the ground? Wanting to enter Kyoto is a fool's dream! What's more, I won't give him even ten days. I want him to see you become my concubine and regret it for the rest of his life!"
Listening to Prince Chen's words, Yun Qianmeng spoke calmly, "Your Highness, you must be joking. Until now, I have only been able to rely on myself! Please don't vent your anger on others! And I will never marry you in this lifetime!"
Seeing her so cold, Prince Chen was not as crazy as he was last time in Prince Chen's Mansion. He actually listened calmly to every word of Yun Qianmeng, then smiled slowly and said, "Marry or not, I can't tolerate you now! I know you value friendship and care about everyone in the Fuguo Mansion. Even someone like Rong Yunhe, you treat him as a friend! What crime should I accuse the Rong family of? Should I have them implicated and their entire clan exiled to the border? Yun Qianmeng, before you reject me, think about what I say! You know, the Rong family has no background. It would be easier to strangle Rong Yunhe than to strangle an ant!"
Prince Chen's words made Yun Qianmeng's cold eyes immediately sweep towards the crazy man in front of her, and she felt extremely disgusted with his actions in her heart!
"Is this how the prince forces people? It's really eye-opening! I can't believe that the glorious Prince Chen would use such despicable methods to force others to marry you. It's really disgusting!" There was a frost between his brows, but Yun Qianmeng's eyes maintained the original calmness, reminding herself all the time not to be angered by the madman in front of her!
But at this moment, Prince Chen was staring at Yun Qianmeng's frosty face with greed, and he felt that Yun Qianmeng was the most moving and attractive like this!
However, Prince Chen was already a little angry at being repeatedly rejected by a woman, but he also knew that if he got angry at this moment, he would lose, so he forced himself to calm down. "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself! If you hadn't repeatedly piqued my attention, why would I do this? Meng'er, as long as you agree to marry me, the Rong Mansion and the Fuguogong Mansion will be safe!"
Seeing Jiang Muchen so possessed, Yun Qianmeng knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless. She simply said, "Then may I ask when will Your Highness marry me? I am a criminal now, so how can I appear before everyone openly?"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng's attitude soften, Jiang Muchen's tone was no longer as tough as before. He slowed down his tone, a smile flashing in his eyes, and he said in a very good mood, "I have found a new identity for you! In seven days, you will marry me as the eldest daughter of Jiangcheng's richest man and become my concubine! However, before that, you must die first!"
Hearing him speak so lightly, Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but feel nervous!
I didn't expect Jiang Muchen to think of such a radical solution. He actually let her fake her death and then marry her with another identity!
I'm afraid that once her identity changes, Chu Feiyang will never be able to find her again!
And the daughter of the richest man in Jiangcheng might even die in vain just to make me exist!
After such an analysis, Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but feel cold all over, and felt that the person in front of her was really scary!
However, looking at Jiang Muchen like this, and thinking about Rong Yunhe, Old Lady Gu, and the others, Yun Qianmeng actually said, "Okay, I promise you! But, what are you going to do with that young lady?"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng finally nod in agreement, Jiang Muchen was immediately overjoyed, and then he told her in a good mood, "She will marry Chu Feiyang!"
"In that case, I will take my leave first! I hope Your Highness will keep his word and not go back on his word!" Upon hearing this, Yun Qianmeng bowed and turned to leave!
"Meng'er, don't have any other thoughts! From now on, you are mine! You can't escape from my palm!" But behind him came the warning voice of King Chen!
However, his voice urged Yun Qianmeng to leave this depressing place faster!
Back in the cell, Yun Yiyi had already eaten all the snacks and was now fast asleep with the quilt pulled over him!
However, Yun Qianmeng felt extremely heavy in her heart. She had never expected that Prince Chen would use such an extreme method to force a marriage!
Looking at Yun Yiyi who was already fast asleep, Yun Qianmeng immediately sat down at the table, took out an eyebrow pencil from the jewelry box, tore off a blank page from the book, and quickly wrote down everything!
At twilight hour, the cooks came in carrying dinner. Yun Qianmeng glanced at the cook who brought the dinner into the cell, then took the dinner...
"What did you say? You're going to marry a concubine in seven days?" Inside Prince Chen's mansion, Concubine Yuande looked on in shock as she told her son the news. She then stood up excitedly and objected, "I won't allow it! The number of concubines is fixed, and now you're actually going to give a concubine position to the daughter of the richest man. Chen'er, are you crazy?"
These days, Concubine Yuande was still happy about Yun Qianmeng's imprisonment. It was natural that she was happy to have solved the thorn in her heart without any effort!
I was just thinking about choosing the main wife and concubines for Prince Chen, but today he said this to me!
If she was the daughter of an official, it would be acceptable, but she was the daughter of the richest man in Jiangcheng. How could such a lowly status allow her to become the concubine of the dignified Prince Chen? Even if she became a concubine, it would be a great blessing!
This made Concubine Yuande extremely angry, and she opposed it without thinking!
However, Prince Chen's expression was resolute and his attitude was tough. He ignored Concubine Yuande's face, which had turned ashen, and said coldly, "I came here today just to inform Mother! As for everything about the wedding, I will let Ning Feng prepare it myself, so you don't have to worry about it!"
After saying this, Prince Chen started walking out. Seeing this, Concubine Yuande wanted to catch up with him, but Prince Chen left her far behind...
"Madam Jiang, go and find out what kind of person the richest man in Jiangcheng is. Why does the prince have to marry his daughter?" Concubine Yuande no longer cared about her usual royal demeanor at this time. Thinking that she was about to become a laughing stock of the royal family, her face was distorted with anger. She wished she could see with her own eyes how stunning the daughter of the richest man in Jiangcheng was, that she actually made Prince Chen give up the valuable Hai Tian and Qi Ling'er!
"Dona Fei, she is just a concubine. Why do you have to be angry with the prince? Instead, it will hurt the relationship between mother and son! In my opinion, Dona Fei should just follow the prince's wish and let the prince propose to Northern Qi and marry Princess Qi Ling'er as his principal wife. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? As for the position of concubine, you can find a chance to accuse her of a crime and it will be vacant, right?" Seeing that her master was very angry, Madam Jiang reminded Dona Fei Yuande at the right time when she was about to lose her mind!
After being reminded by Nanny Jiang, Concubine Yuande's anger was instantly extinguished. Thinking about the relationship between them, she felt that Nanny Jiang's words made some sense!
"In that case, let him do as he pleases! However, you should go and inform Chen'er that marrying a concubine is no small matter. Ning Feng doesn't understand all this. If something goes wrong, it will be the Chen Palace that will be embarrassed! The Crown Prince of Northern Qi is in Western Chu right now. If he sees how our palace does things, he will never marry Qi Ling'er in! You should go to Chen'er's garden to help out in the next few days. Don't let anything go wrong!" Rubbing her forehead and solar plexus, Concubine Yuande had to make concessions!
Nanny Jiang was right. The concubine could be replaced by countless people, but she only had one son. If the relationship between mother and son was hurt because of a woman, that would be the most unprofitable!
Seeing that Concubine Yuande had come to her senses, Nanny Jiang immediately followed her orders and headed to Prince Chen's courtyard!
Three days later, at night, a fire broke out outside the Ministry of Justice prison. It was autumn and the air was dry, and there was a slight breeze that night, so the fire suddenly became out of control!
The prisoners in the prison were awakened by the thick black smoke, and their strong desire to survive made the cells shout loudly. However, these people were all wanted criminals of the court, and the jailers did not dare to open the prison door and let them out without permission. They could only work with the yamen runners who came to put out the fire to find a way to put out the fire for the time being!
However, the Ministry of Justice was short of manpower. Ning Feng, who was guarding the door, wanted to rush into the prison to bring Yun Qianmeng out, but Su Yuan, who arrived shortly afterwards, blocked the entrance. Both sides drew their swords against each other, but the fire seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Ning Feng saw that these prisoners would have no way out if this continued, so he left two subordinates to guard here to prevent anyone from stealing the prison again or taking the opportunity to kill people. He then rode on his horse to Prince Chen's Mansion to report the matter!
Prince Chen was choosing a wedding dress for Yun Qianmeng that night when he saw Ning Feng walk in with a dark look on his face. He immediately knelt down and said anxiously, "Your Highness, there's a fire in the Ministry of Justice, and the fire has spread to the prison!"
"What? Go and mobilize the city defense forces quickly!" The wedding dress in his hand fell to the ground in an instant. King Chen's face turned pale. He threw a token to Ning Feng, and his figure rushed out like an arrow!
However, when King Chen arrived at the cell door, the entire cell was surrounded by fireballs!
Although the cell was damp, there was a lot of straw inside. Black smoke was billowing out of the entrance, and the cries for help inside had become weaker than before. Someone must have suffocated to death due to the thick smoke!
There were books and quilts in Yun Qianmeng's cell, and what was even more disgusting was that it was covered with silk on all sides. When King Chen realized this, he wanted to punch himself. He should have thought of this a long time ago, so why didn't he take precautions?
Without thinking, he rushed into the fire, but was stopped by Su Yuan, who hugged him around the waist. "Your Highness, the fire is too big inside. Going in won't help!"
"Get out of here!" But at this moment Jiang Muchen's eyes were red, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone!
Especially when he saw Su Yuan trying to stop him, his eyes bulged slightly, as if he wanted to tear Su Yuan into pieces!
"Your Highness, I will never let you take the risk! There are so many prisoners in here, how can you possibly find them? Besides, they have been exposed to the black smoke for so long, I'm afraid they are all dead. If you go in now, won't you be risking your life in vain?" Su Yuan hugged Prince Chen's waist tightly!
While the two were confronting each other, Ning Feng led the city defense troops over and everyone immediately started to put out the fire. It took a full half hour to put out the fire!
Seeing the billowing black smoke coming out from inside, Prince Chen shook off Su Yuan and walked straight in. However, the cells were already in a mess at this time, and the one that was burning the most severely was Yun Qianmeng's cell!
Prince Chen felt his heart suddenly pierced with pain, and quickly ran into the completely black cell, only to see a girl with a black face lying on the ground. He immediately stepped forward and held her in his arms, wiping her face with his sleeves, until he saw the familiar face and her weak breathing, then he smiled with relief!
Fortunately, fortunately she is still alive!
In Prince Chen’s mansion, Prince Chen’s inner chamber!
"Your Highness!" After a night of inventory, Ning Feng just returned from the Ministry of Justice and was now standing outside the inner room!
Jiang Muchen looked at Yun Qianmeng, who was still in a coma, and then reluctantly stood up and walked out the door. Seeing Ning Feng coming back, he immediately asked in a cold voice, "What exactly happened? Is there anyone dead?"
Ning Feng also felt strange when talking about this matter, so he explained it to Prince Chen in detail, "Your Highness, the most serious fire this time was in Miss Yun's cell! Although the smoke was heavy, it did not cause the death of the prisoners. Most of them just fainted due to inhaling too much smoke! I also investigated the situation outside the cell, but found nothing!"
Ning Feng's report made Jiang Muchen frown involuntarily. An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he turned and went into the inner room in an instant. His eyes were as cold as a knife as he stared at the sleeping Yun Qianmeng. However, when he saw the expression between her eyebrows was exactly the same as in his memory, the doubt in his heart gradually dissipated. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. When did he start to worry so much about a woman!
Ning Feng frowned slightly at his master's recent unusual behavior, and seeing that Yun Qianmeng was now unconscious, he asked, "Prince, what about the wedding?"
"Proceed as usual! Send the daughter of the richest man to jail and say she is Yun Qianmeng! By the way, tell Su Yuan that if he dares to inform the imperial concubine, I will kill his entire family!" But from the inner room came the answer of Prince Chen without hesitation!
Four days later, Prince Chen's mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns inside and outside, and there was a constant stream of people and cars outside the mansion, with guests coming one after another with valuable gifts!
Although everyone came to congratulate with smiles on their faces, they were all surprised when they learned that Prince Chen was marrying the daughter of a wealthy businessman as his concubine!
Everyone was whispering about it, wondering what was so special about the daughter of the richest man that made Prince Chen marry her as a concubine. At this time, Prince Chen didn't even have a principal wife, so he skipped the principal wife and married a concubine first. It seemed that he was quite satisfied with this woman!
What made everyone even more confused was the attitude of Concubine Yuande!

Now, seeing her son so carefully protecting the merchant's daughter, Concubine Yuande couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly. She wanted to see what kind of beauty could make her son Chen'er so obsessed with her!
'Bow to Heaven and Earth'
'Second bow to parents'
'Couple Worship Each Other'
'Swoosh...' The sound of an arrow flying through the air...
"Dong..." The arrow plume pierced straight into the red sandalwood plaque above the wedding hall of Prince Chen's mansion...
The music suddenly stopped...
The guests congratulated each other in an instant.
