Ni Yueshan couldn't understand why Shao Lecheng was so stubborn, but since he didn't say anything, there was nothing she could do. It was also not possible for her to let him die. After some confusion, Ni Yueshan walked away.
After leaving the cell, Duan Gouqiong was waiting on the street. When she saw Ni Yueshan coming out, she immediately went to greet him.
"Crown Princess, what's going on?"
Ni Yueshan's expression was solemn: "He seems to have guessed the person behind the scenes, but he would rather die than tell."
Duan Gouqiong's eyes flashed with surprise: "Then just tell me, if he doesn't tell the truth and can't find the person behind this, then he will have no choice but to die!"
"I told him, but he just wouldn't say anything." Ni Yueshan sighed and asked curiously, "What about you? Did you lead people to find the prince?"
Duan Gouqiong shook his head.
Ni Yueshan couldn't help but worry, wondering if someone was trying to harm Jing Yuchen and what had happened to him?
"Princess, please wait for me in the carriage. I'll go in and meet him!"
Without waiting for Ni Yueshan's response, Duan Gouqiong had already walked inside.
Inside the cell, Shao Lecheng lay on a pile of straw, not knowing what he was thinking. Duan Gouqiong stood outside the cell and loudly demanded, "Hey, what are you thinking? Why don't you tell the truth? Who wants to harm you?"
Shao Lecheng didn't move and was too lazy to pay attention.
Duan Gouqiong was a little furious and kicked the prison door hard. The door didn't move at all, but it made her scream in pain.
Duan Gouqiong ordered the jailer to open the cell door. The jailer said with an embarrassed look on his face, "This person is an important prisoner. You can talk to him through the cell door, but... you can't open the cell door to contact him!"
Duan Gouqiong glared at the jailer, but the jailer showed no intention of compromising.
Duan Gouqiong finally snorted and walked out.
As Ni Yueshan said, Shao Lecheng was unwilling to cooperate and unwilling to speak...
Feeling tangled and depressed, Duan Gouqiong looked at Ni Yueshan and took the initiative to say, "I can't get anything out of him. He just doesn't care about us at all. He should be left to die and regret it!"
Ni Yueshan remained silent. Duan Gouqiong sighed as she boarded the carriage. The carriage began to sway and move forward. Neither Duan Gouqiong nor Ni Yueshan said anything else. After arriving at the Crown Prince's residence, Ni Yueshan lifted the carriage curtain. "Princess, will you please go in first? I want to go to the temple."
Duan Gouqiong was stunned, and finally frowned and said, "Then go ahead."
Ni Yueshan was beginning to feel helpless and was about to go to the temple to pray to Buddha. It seemed that she had no choice but to take action.
The carriage turned around outside the Prince's Mansion and headed for a temple outside the city.
That's where Shao Le grew up, maybe there might be some clues there?
Watching the carriage leave, Duan Gouqiong did not return to the Prince's Mansion, but went to the Imperial Palace.
Since there was no way to find any clues and Jing Yuchen could not be found, she had no choice but to use the identity of Princess Canglie to ask for an exception and rescue Shao Lecheng.
In the imperial palace, the imperial garden.
After Duan Gouqiong was brought in, the emperor ordered all the palace servants to leave. He looked at Duan Gouqiong with an expression of great interest and said, "Princess, your frequent visits to the palace will make the palace servants notice something unusual. If you have anything to say, you can send a message through the people in the Crown Prince's Mansion. There is no need to trouble you to come in person every time!"
Although the words sounded polite, the emperor's expression was very serious, as if he did not welcome Duan Gouqiong.
"This princess didn't want to come either, but he always likes to go against me, so he forced me to come!"
Duan Gouqiong looked at the emperor with a depressed expression and did not kneel down. She watched the emperor slowly approach.
"Your Majesty, I want to discuss something with you!"
The emperor felt helpless when he saw Duan Gouqiong's cunning expression, which looked like "we have a good relationship and we can discuss anything."
"Princess, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly. Xian Chang has only good intentions towards you, and no ill will. How could he possibly go against you, Princess?"
Duan Gouqiong didn't want to listen to the emperor's explanation. She asked anxiously, "I want to save someone, Your Majesty. If he is on death row, can you find a way to save his life?"
Duan Gouqiong looked at the emperor with anticipation, but he did not regard the person in front of him as an emperor who should be respected.
"But that flower thief?"
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he guessed Duan Gouqiong's thoughts clearly.
Duan Gouqiong looked at the emperor in astonishment: "Yes, Your Majesty, since you are a sensible person, can you find a way to save this person?"
"Didn't you and the Crown Princess go to the Tian family? Don't the Tian family have any clues to prove the flower thief's innocence? Since the flower thief is not innocent, you asked me to save him. Isn't this going against my wishes?"
Duan Gouqiong's expression gradually turned disgusted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this death row prisoner is my good friend, I need to save him."
Duan Gouqiong shook the emperor's arm like a spoiled child, not treating him as the emperor and requiring him to be respectful.
The emperor said helplessly, "I am a man who enforces the law impartially. I can execute my own princes, and I can also execute this flower thief without hesitation. The Tian family has done a lot for me. How can I let this flower thief go?"
The emperor looked obviously in a dilemma and could not help Duan Gouqiong.
Duan Gouqiong's face was full of disappointment. She pouted and squatted on the ground.
She said in great frustration, "If the Emperor doesn't agree, I'll throw a tantrum in front of him!"
The emperor didn't say anything, and Duan Gouqiong started to cry.
"The Emperor is bullying us! The Emperor is bullying us!"
Duan Gouqiong doesn't care about his image at all...
The emperor was naturally helpless against Duan Gouqiong's roguery...
"There are so many eyes in the palace. How will I handle this if you do this? Get up!"
The emperor looked serious and felt helpless about Duan Gouqiong.
