"Li Ao, find someone to send these two to the capital and hand them over to the emperor for handling." Jing Xu stood up and said to Li Ao who was standing beside him.
Li Ao responded quickly, looked at the crowd outside, and finally chose to cross the wall.
After a while, several men in tight clothes came, each of them with a murderous aura and a sullen face.
Seeing Chu Hongyun wanted to salute, Chu Hongyun stopped him with his eyes.
Li Ao hurriedly said to them, "Why don't you pay your respects to the Princess Changping and the Princess Ning'an?"
Ning An already knew that Qiu Yinong would be her cousin's sister-in-law in the future. With the blessing of dual identities and the fact that Ning An liked Qiu Yinong to begin with, she didn't care at all about being left behind.
When the secret guards heard their boss's hint, they immediately understood that the county lady in front of them was the one who was engaged to their master.
"Your subordinates greet the Princess Changping and the Princess Ning'an."
"No need to be so polite." Ning An smiled and gave him a light support.
Jingxu walked over, pointed at Beihan and Qingzhu, and instructed them, "Be sure to protect this person and bring him directly to see the emperor."
"Don't worry, my lord. I promise with my life that I will deliver the person safely."
Jing Xu nodded. Ning An thought for a moment and whispered, "How about this, come with us. I have dragon guards with me."
"Cousin Yinong, you are a doctor. Is there any way to make them temporarily mute?"
"Yes, I can help you make an imitation human skin mask to change their appearance." Qiu Yinong nodded, and Ning An said that this was a good idea when he heard it.
Soon, the bailiffs dismissed the people.
However, not all of them dispersed. Some of them stayed nearby. Since Jingxu and his men did not shout to drive them away, the yamen runners did not dare to force them to leave.
Qiu Yinong took the people to the inner room. When they came out a while later, the appearance of the Beihan couple had become ordinary.
Magistrate Ma was temporarily detained in the government prison.
Seeing that everything had been settled, Jingxu and his group were about to leave, but Miss Ma suddenly stopped them.
"You can't leave! You can't leave!"
Qiu Yinong looked at her calmly, Ning An frowned slightly, and Ge Qingqing also looked at Miss Ma in confusion.
Miss Ma glanced back and forth between Ge Qingqing and Jing Xu before saying, "She was also deceived by that fake. Since you can let her stay with you, you must also accept me."
"I know my father has committed a crime, but I don't care about status. I am willing to stay with the prince even if I am just a concubine."
"Please have mercy on me, my lord. It is because he used your identity and appearance that I fell into this trap."
"Now my father is in prison, and everyone knows that I followed Prince Jing. If you don't want me either, I might as well die."
As she spoke, Miss Ma, with tears on her face, knelt down on the ground.
The people who were about to leave stopped when they saw this scene.
One woman couldn't help but whisper to the people around her: "Oh, this Miss Ma is the daughter of the prefect after all, how can she be so shameless?"
"That's right, she's a lady from a wealthy family, how could she be so shameless? What do you mean everyone knows that she's with Prince Jing, so what bad luck has happened to Prince Jing?"
"First, I was impersonated, and now I'm being entangled by something like this. It's really bad luck."
Some people disagreed and said with a smile: "I think Miss Ma is smart, but her family is ruined now."
"If I can get involved with Prince Jing, I might still have a chance to survive. Who knows, maybe even Magistrate Ma can be spared from punishment."
As soon as this person said this, everyone immediately understood.
you do not say?
Magistrate Ma and the fake prince embezzled money, and now there is solid evidence.
If this Miss Ma could really become someone close to Prince Jing, then maybe Magistrate Ma could really be acquitted.
Seeing that she still dared to bring her up, Ge Qingqing's face darkened and she started to curse, "If you want to cling to the rich and powerful, don't drag me into it."
"I was simply deceived by him and engaged to him. I never even thought of taking advantage of the prince."
"How is that possible?" Miss Ma stared at Ge Qingqing in disbelief.
She murmured softly, "How is this possible? He is Prince Jing, the only child of the emperor, and the only child of the Duke of Jing's family."
"How could you not be moved by such a noble person? Besides, everyone knows that you are engaged to Prince Jing, how could you possibly be willing to accept it?"
"Don't you care about your own reputation, your family's reputation?"
Ge Qingqing sighed: "What does it have to do with me what others think? Say whatever you want. I am the only daughter in the family."
"My uncles and aunts all have sons. Besides, does my father have to stay in Linjiang Prefecture forever?"
"At worst, I can just move to another place. If my future husband minds because I was deceived into engagement by a fake, I'd rather not marry such a man."
After following Qiu Yinong for a while, Ge Qingqing felt completely enlightened.
After hearing what Ge Qingqing said, Miss Ma fell to the ground.
Covering her face and crying bitterly, she said, "What should I do? What should I do?"
"Okay, stop crying. You were just cheated by a scumbag. It's not like the sky is falling. Even if the sky falls, there are still mountains to hold it up."
Ge Qingqing was the person who could best understand her feelings. Seeing her crying, she couldn't help but step forward to comfort her.
Miss Ma kept shaking her head and crying uncontrollably.
"You wouldn't understand. If I were just like you, having been deceived in my feelings, that would be fine. But me, him and I... wuwuwuwu..."
Ge Qingqing was speechless for a moment, she knew what the other party meant.
After all, I am still a girl and I don’t know how to answer.
She couldn't help but look towards Qiu Yinong, who sighed, "Come with me."
Miss Ma was puzzled, but she still followed Qiu Yinong to a small room nearby.
"Do you really mind that?" Qiu Yinong asked calmly.
Miss Ma was silent for a while, then nodded and smiled bitterly: "If I were as smart as the county lady, I wouldn't be so stupid as to have physical contact with him."
"I thought it was simple at first. He is the Prince of Jing, of noble status. If I don't give up something, how can I possibly win his heart?"
"Now that I think about it, it's all a joke."
"I'm not as good as Miss Ge. She understands things, but I don't."
After this incident, Miss Ma has grown a lot.
"Your father has no chance of recovery. I can create a new identity for you. Are you willing to give it all up?"
Miss Ma looked at Qiu Yinong in confusion, and Qiu Yinong said that it was exactly what she thought.
"How can it be easy? I grew up here. Everyone knows me and knows my story. In the future, which honest family would be willing to accept a girl like me as their bride?"
"Not to mention, my father is still a criminal."
"If I were to be someone's concubine or mistress, I would rather die than be one."
Miss Ma also knows her situation.
