Eunuch Xiao sighed again, then instructed the palace maid who had accompanied the Imperial Concubine to the Cold Palace: "Aunt Zhang, you'd better take the Imperial Concubine back quickly. It wouldn't be good if His Majesty got angry and hurt the Imperial Concubine."
When Aunt Zhang heard what Eunuch Xiao said, she also advised her mistress, "Your Majesty, let's go back first."
The Imperial Concubine seemed to know that she would not be able to see His Majesty today, and she also knew that the fact that the other party had let Eunuch Xiao out was already giving her face.
Otherwise, it would be perfectly acceptable for someone to pull them away.
The Imperial Concubine swayed as she stood up. She knew she couldn't just collapse like that; her niece and brother needed her. So she replied to Aunt Zhang beside her, "Alright, let's go."
…
The palace servants standing to the side watched them leave: "Eunuch Xiao, the Imperial Concubine left the Cold Palace without permission, and His Majesty isn't going to punish her?"
Eunuch Xiao shook his head: "Consort Jian and His Majesty are childhood sweethearts and have a very deep affection for each other. How could His Majesty bear to part with her? If it weren't for the seriousness of General Jian's matter, Consort Jian probably wouldn't have been temporarily sent to the Cold Palace. You all need to be careful."
One of them spoke up again: "Is it true that General Jian colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country?"
"Shut up! How dare you and I discuss such important matters? Watch your head!" Upon hearing Eunuch Xiao speak like this, the little eunuch who had just asked the question immediately lowered his head.
…
The next day, Xuan Yi took Wan Ge to see General Jian.
Although General Jian was in a dark and damp place, he did not have many new injuries.
"Daughter, what brings you here?" General Jian looked at Wan Ge in disbelief.
Wan Ge went straight over and gave him a hug: "Father, are you alright here?"
"Father is alright for now, don't worry."
"I believe in your father." As Wan Ge said this, she took the box that the Crown Prince had just been holding. The box contained some medicine.
“Father suffered so many injuries on the battlefield. How could he endure this dark and damp environment? That’s why I brought him some medicine.”
Xuan Yi hadn't expected Wan Ge to think of these things; he had assumed she had brought some delicious food.
In fact, Wan Ge also took some medicine for General Jian, and she also made some pastries that General Jian liked to eat.
"Your Highness, this..." The jailer beside him looked at the medicine with a troubled expression.
“Miss Jian is my savior. Now she just wants to bring some medicine to General Jian. What’s wrong with that? General Jian hasn’t been convicted yet. He’s still a general of our dynasty. If the Emperor clears General Jian’s name, but something happens to him here, can you bear the consequences?”
Xuan Yi's words left the others speechless, exchanging bewildered glances.
Seeing his daughter's sad expression, General Jian really wanted to tell her that he was really fine here and that he would be able to leave soon.
However, besides His Majesty's people, there were other people present, so General Jian dared not say much. He simply said to his daughter, "I'm really alright, don't worry. I also believe His Majesty will surely clear my name."
As General Jian said this, he didn't notice someone in the corner secretly curling their lips, thinking to themselves: You'll never get out.
