Isn't it strange that Jing Chengzhi could find Shao Lecheng and suspect him?
"Are you doubting the prince? If it weren't for the prince, I don't know what situation I would be in now."
Duan Gouqiong obviously believed in Jing Chengzhi.
Ni Yueshan helplessly suggested, "Let's just assume it's him for now. Don't you think he's suspicious?"
Duan Gouqiong leaned towards the carriage with a headache.
"This is so troublesome! I'm so cute and beautiful, but why do people always want to kidnap me? It's such a sin."
Ni Yueshan glanced at Duan Gouqiong helplessly. She said seriously, "Princess, I hope you can trust me for once. Finding out the truth is what we both want to see. Tonight, while the prince's men are off guard, let's break in."
Duan Gouqiong's eyes flashed with surprise, and her thoughts were turning over and over in her heart...
After nightfall, outside the Dali Temple, three dark figures stood not far away, looking at the guards outside. Jing Yuchen spoke up and said, "Princess, keep watch. Yueshan will inquire about the situation. I will hold the guards back."
"Ah, this princess doesn't know how to keep watch? Will I scream if I'm discovered?"
Jing Yuchen chuckled: "That's fine."
Duan Gouqiong: “…”
The ordinary cells of the Dali Temple were all guarded by many people. Outside the cell where Shao Lecheng was imprisoned, there were three layers of guards, including Jing Chengzhi's men and the Dali Temple's men. It was extremely difficult to break in.
Jing Yuchen placed Ni Yueshan on the roof and said, "I'll go and lead them away. Hurry."
Ni Yueshan felt that this was putting Jing Yuchen at risk, but there was no better way than this.
"Well, be careful."
"You too." Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan with deep eyes, his eyes filled with too much worry.
Finally, he turned around and flew off the roof.
Under the roof, Jing Yuchen was agile and moved extremely fast. In just a moment, he disappeared without a trace.
Then, loud shouts rang out in the Dali Temple: "Catch the thief, catch the thief!"
Many jailers in the cell heard the noise and chased out. Ni Yueshan chose the right moment and let Qingfeng carry her down.
"Master, hurry up."
Qingfeng stood at the entrance, keeping watch for Ni Yueshan. Ni Yueshan nodded solemnly and walked inside with a serious expression.
At this time, when the people imprisoned in the cell heard the noise outside, they already suspected that someone was coming to break into the prison. When they saw Ni Yueshan in a black nightgown, they became even more excited.
Ni Yueshan didn't delay any longer and quickly walked towards Shao Lecheng's cell. However, Shao Lecheng was still imprisoned there during the day, but after nightfall, he disappeared...
A hint of surprise flashed across Ni Yueshan's eyes, but he quickly realized that he had fallen into a trap.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but soon, Qingfeng's voice came from outside: "Master, we are surrounded!"
Duan Gouqiong, who was standing a hundred meters away, saw this and started shouting, "Ah, we've been discovered! Run!"
When she shouted, there was no doubt that the jailers who were arresting people quickly gathered in the direction of Duan Gouqiong.
Duan Gouqiong's eyes flashed with surprise, and he angrily said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't follow me! I am innocent..."
But the jailer present would never listen to her and really not chase her...
Ni Yueshan walked quickly outside, but there was a huge crowd of people outside, and there was no way out.
Qingfeng retreated to Ni Yueshan's side. Before he could say anything, a man slowly walked out from behind the jailer. That man...
Ni Yueshan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you predict that I would bring people here tonight?"
Ni Yueshan began to question. Although she was wearing a veil at the time and the other party could not see her face clearly, Ni Yueshan could see it clearly, and Jing Chengzhi would definitely guess who she was.
Jing Chengzhi curled his lips slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"That's right."
Two simple words: too confident.
Inside the palace, it was already past closing time, but in the southern study, the emperor had been waiting, anticipating that Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen would come and abduct the person...
Ni Yueshan, Jing Yuchen and Qingfeng were kneeling on the ground. Duan Gouqiong was standing beside them with a pout on her lips and her fingers fiddling with the tassels on her skirt. She lowered her head with a look of grievance on her face.
"Your Majesty, this prisoner is the one who abducted this princess. Why didn't this princess ask for permission to see him?"
Facing Duan Gouqiong's question, the emperor snorted coldly: "Because the person behind the scenes may be thinking of destroying the marriage between Xianchang and Yudu, rather than targeting you, Princess."
"I naturally have to take care of this matter. The prince did the right thing!"
Duan Gouqiong knew that he was in the wrong, so he said nothing more. He just looked at Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen with sympathy.
Jing Yuchen then spoke up, "Father, this is the idea of your son. My only goal was to find out the truth, but the prince has guarded the cell too strictly. This is the only option I have."
The emperor looked at Jing Yuchen sternly: "Humph, jailbreaking is jailbreaking, there is no excuse, and it is unforgivable!"
He stood up and walked slowly towards Jing Yuchen. At this time, Jing Yuchen was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, in awe of the emperor.
"I'll give you a chance now, let you meet him. If you can't prove his innocence, you'll be charged with jailbreaking!"
Jing Yuchen lowered his eyes, without any haste to beg for mercy, and simply said, "Thank you, father."
The emperor looked at Jing Chengzhi and said, "Have the people from the Dali Temple bring the prisoners to the palace for interrogation!"
"yes."
Soon, people from the Dali Temple brought Shao Lecheng in. At this time, Shao Lecheng was wearing a plain prisoner uniform. Even though his hands and feet were shackled, he did not look embarrassed at all. He looked calm, walked slowly forward and saluted.
"Your Majesty."
The emperor sat in front of the desk with a serious expression. He did not speak. Jing Yuchen took the initiative to look at Shao Lecheng.
"Now is our only chance to turn things around. If... you still choose to remain silent this time, we will both become prisoners."
Shao Lecheng's expression was calm. "Prince, you are confused. Someone wants to frame me, and I can't provide evidence to prove my innocence. Naturally... there is no point in saying more. I have given up."
He had a fearless expression on his face, as if he just let everything go and didn't care about anything else.
Jing Yuchen frowned. If Shao Lecheng didn't cooperate, it would be difficult for them to find out the truth...
"Think about the women imprisoned in the cells." Ni Yueshan suggested at this time, leaving Shao Lecheng silent.
Ni Yueshan continued to remind him, "Their life and death depend on your thoughts."
Shao Lecheng doesn't care about them, but Ni Yueshan doesn't believe it!
