When the soldier arrived at the door, he immediately reached out and knocked. Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen looked at each other inside the room. Then Ni Yueshan slowly went to open the door. When the door was opened, she saw that it was the familiar soldier. Surprise flashed in Ni Yueshan's eyes, "What's the matter, sir?"
The officer glanced around the room and saw Jing Yuchen standing nearby. He opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you to this woman?"
"My dear!"
Almost without thinking, he answered. The officer asked, "Who among you has a painful leg?"
At this time, Jing Yuchen was leaning on a crutch. How could it be possible that it wasn't Jing Yuchen?
Jing Yuchen has the face of a man in his sixties. As he plays an old man, he has a slightly hunched back. The cane in his hand is enough to show that his legs and feet are not very flexible.
This medicine is most likely from Jing Yuchen.
Jing Yuchen also responded politely: "Yes, it's from this old man. I wonder what happened to the medicine, sir?"
The officer looked Jing Yuchen up and down, then asked, "Tell me, what is this herb used for? Do you take it orally or apply it externally?"
The officers and soldiers kept asking questions like this. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the herbs. He kept asking about them...
"Of course it is taken orally. Why are you so concerned about this medicine, sir?" Jing Yuchen looked at the soldiers with suspicion.
The officer didn't explain, but finally snorted and turned away.
After everyone left, Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen in surprise and asked, "How did you know that I should answer orally?"
"Because I know you're used to treat human injuries. At a time like this, injuries are undoubtedly a problem for the officers and soldiers! Just give an oral answer."
Ni Yueshan: “…”
After the soldiers left, Jing Yuchen took Duan Gouqiong down from the roof and said, "Don't worry, Lecheng has been sent out of the city. You just stay with us and wait for the opportunity to sneak out of the city."
"good."
Duan Gouqiong breathed a sigh of relief when she knew Shao Lecheng was safe and sound. She didn't care about anything else.
Seeing Duan Gouqiong calm down, Ni Yueshan couldn't help but remind her, "Actually... there's another conspiracy behind the bullying you suffered in Tufan."
Duan Gouqiong looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise and asked curiously, "What conspiracy?"
Ni Yueshan coughed awkwardly and glanced at Jing Yuchen. Seeing that Jing Yuchen looked indifferent, as if he didn't care much, Ni Yueshan told Duan Gouqiong all her guesses.
Duan Gouqiong looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief. Who would have thought that she would marry far away in Xianchang and stay in a foreign land for the sake of marriage and peace between the two countries. Shao Lecheng was also ordered to come to Tufan, but was everything a conspiracy of the emperor?
Seeing Duan Gouqiong's changing expression, Ni Yueshan knew clearly that in Duan Gouqiong's eyes, what she said might be difficult to accept.
Seeing that Duan Gouqiong didn't speak for a long time, Ni Yueshan didn't say anything, waiting for her to digest it slowly.
Unexpectedly, Duan Gouqiong's gaze suddenly shifted to Jing Yuchen, and he asked, "Your Highness Prince Chen, I wonder if you knew about this matter early on?"
Jing Yuchen leaned against the window, his figure was outstanding, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he felt uncomfortable being questioned.
"Of course I don't know. This is all guessed by Yue Shan. Otherwise, I would still be supervising the construction of the canal!"
Duan Gouqiong had only casually questioned Jing Yuchen. Since Jing Yuchen didn't know about it, she didn't bother him. She just frowned and asked, "If I want revenge, will you stop me?"
Ni Yueshan had already given him a heads-up, and Jing Yuchen was no longer conflicted. He immediately responded, "Although he is my father, he... treated you like this. I don't think there's anything wrong with you taking revenge."
Duan Gouqiong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, at least I still have friends to be with."
Jing Yuchen fell silent and did not respond. Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen worriedly.
The three of them stayed in the inn. After a few days, the capital seemed to have returned to normal. People could enter and exit the city gates freely, and the number of soldiers patrolling and searching the streets gradually decreased.
Under such lax circumstances, Jing Yuchen had no plans to take Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong out of the city gate. If he took the two of them through inspection, there would be a risk of being discovered.
The Emperor had already revealed the story of Duan Gouqiong being molested by the Tufan prince, and some ministers were outraged: "Regardless of whether the Tufan prince did it intentionally or not! Princess Gouqiong is the Crown Princess of our dynasty, representing the peace between our dynasty and Canglie. But now someone is trying to disrupt that peace. Your Majesty, this cannot be tolerated!"
"I also find this intolerable, but right now, the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince are both in their hands. How can we rescue them? If we send troops, won't they be implicated? Should I notify Canglie and join him in attacking Tufan?"
Someone spoke up, "Your Majesty, Tufan is bullying us like this. Even if Xianchang and Canglie want peace, they cannot tolerate it. Your Majesty, please contact Canglie immediately and send troops together to attack Tufan!"
"We implore the emperor to issue an order as soon as possible to send troops to attack Tufan!" All the ministers knelt on the ground and made a request in unison.
The emperor looked at his ministers and finally said helplessly: "My dear ministers, please get up quickly. Although I don't want the people to suffer from war, I really can't swallow this. I will contact Cang Lie now!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" The court officials cheered in unison.
*
When King Canglie learned about the injustice suffered by Duan Gouqiong, he immediately sent troops to Tufan to ask King Tufan to punish him.
