Chapter 712 Pretending?



"Princess Regent, what do you want to do?" Miao Qinghua did not answer immediately but asked in return.

"Of course, it's according to the law!"

Miao Qinghua smiled and said, "Seriously injuring the Prince Regent is punishable by death. Princess Regent, you are so arrogant!"

Although she was smiling, that smile looked very cold. "Where did the princess lock him up? I'm going to ask for punishment!"

"Qingluan, take the Queen Mother over there!"

After Miao Qinghua left, Ni Gaofei and Zou Yangyao also arrived. Seeing them, Ni Yueshan stood up again and said, "Dad."

Ni Gaofei, dressed in court robes, knew that something had happened to Jing Yuchen and looked very serious. "I've heard in the court that he's been unconscious all this time. The Prime Minister's Mansion has a hundred-year-old ginseng. Why not bring it over and give him some tonic?"

Ni Yueshan shook his head solemnly: "Zou Yangyao never saw anyone attack him. Perhaps this was his own arrangement. Why didn't he tell me? Maybe he was afraid that my acting wouldn't be accurate, or maybe he thought I wouldn't agree!"

"Dad, you don't have to worry too much. The palace also has ginseng!" Ni Yueshan said, looking at Zou Yangyao, and Zou Yangyao did not refute her.

He just comforted her by saying, "Although the Prince Regent is unconscious now, didn't the imperial physician say that he will wake up? It's just a matter of time."

Ni Gaofei asked anxiously, "Yueshan, has the prince really severed ties with you? Today in the court, even though he heard something was wrong with the Prince Regent, he didn't ask a single question, nor did he even come to see what was happening!"

"Dad, don't worry about this. The most important thing is that he wakes up. As for the prince, that's his choice!"

Ni Yueshan's eyes dropped again, and besides worry, there was also a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness.

"Prime Minister, why don't you try to persuade our princess? She has been staying by his side all this time, not eating or drinking, and not sleeping. Even if he wakes up, she will be exhausted."

Ni Gaofei looked at Ni Yueshan and opened his mouth to persuade her, but thinking that Ni Yueshan was stubborn, it would be useless even if he tried to persuade her. In the end, he sighed helplessly and said, "I'll go get someone to send the ginseng over."

As he spoke, he walked out.

Zou Yangyao stood aside, equally worried. Seeing that no one was around, he stepped forward and said, "Yueshan, please believe me, Jing Yuchen will wake up! But you have to take care of yourself too!"

Ni Yueshan looked at his determined expression and felt confused. She always felt that he wanted to say something, but it was inconvenient for him to say it clearly, so he had to tell her with his eyes.

"Will he wake up?"

Zou Yangyao nodded with certainty: "Yes, he will wake up."

Ni Yueshan's expression gradually softened. "Okay, I believe you."

Zou Yangyao then stood up and said, "Chu'er will come to see the prince every day. I will leave first."

Then he walked away. Ni Yueshan withdrew his gaze and looked at Jing Yuchen again.

Outside the prison cell, Miao Qinghua paused and looked at the people inside. Feeling someone was watching him, Miao Li looked out the door and saw it was Miao Qinghua. He quickly stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Queen Mother."

"General Miao, I heard that you injured the Regent. Now you're sitting in the cell in a well-behaved manner. Are you waiting for me to save you?"

"Queen Dowager, I did not injure the Regent. He is the one who became like this!"

"Hmph, I asked Doctor Zhou to examine him, and he was indeed seriously injured. Now you tell me that you didn't hurt him, then why did you cooperate and end up in this cell?"

"...The Prince Regent's Palace is nothing at all. Why can't I come in? Queen Mother, you only need one word to make this humble minister leave here, right?"

Miao Qinghua looked at Miao Li speechlessly: "If you go to jail, doesn't that mean you admit that you hurt someone? You really make me mad!"

She looked at Miao Li with a look of disappointment on her face. Miao Li frowned and said, "Queen Mother, you want to save me. What method do you want to use..."

Miao Qinghua's brows were furrowed. Qingluan stepped forward and said, "Queen Dowager, have you asked everything you need to ask? Why not take the general to the Dali Temple now, and have you and the princess judge him together?"

"She still wants to make trouble in the Dali Temple?" Miao Qinghua looked at Qingluan in surprise.

Qingluan responded calmly, "This is how the princess always behaves. Why should the Queen Mother be surprised?"

Miao Qinghua snorted coldly, "Since this man is to be tried by the Dali Temple, then we should just go through the procedures slowly!"

After saying that, he started walking out with an angry expression.

Qingluan followed Miao Qinghua silently. Seeing that Miao Qinghua was about to leave the house, she bowed and said, "Farewell, Queen Mother."

After Miao Qinghua left, Qingluan went to the room where Ni Yueshan was, "Princess, the Queen Mother has left, and I also told her about sending her to the Dali Temple."

"Just leave after saying that?" Ni Yueshan asked.

Qingluan nodded: "Yes, she said to go through the procedures slowly, is there any problem with that?"

Ni Yueshan curled her lips and said, "She is afraid that if the matter is brought to the Dali Temple, more people will know about it. Then, the people will laugh at her and the Miao family will lose face."

"As a general, responsible for defending the country, he drank heavily with his men in the capital, engaged in a high-profile fight over a woman, and even injured the regent. Dismissal is the least of his worries, but losing his head is the most terrifying."

"Go through the formalities? Why do I need to go through the formalities? I'm going to sue directly! I'm a subject, and if I hurt anyone from the Jing family, that's disrespectful to the royal family! I deserve to lose my head!"

Perhaps Jing Yuchen felt that if Miao Li's men fought against them, they could bring him down, and only if he was seriously injured could they achieve their goal.

If Jing Yuchen's sacrifice cannot fulfill his wish, then Jing Yuchen's suffering will be in vain.

Ni Yueshan took a wet wipe and wiped Jing Yuchen's forehead again and again, looking at him with eyes full of heartache.

Finally, Ni Yueshan stood up and said, "Go and bring the person out."

Miao Qinghua had just arrived at the Miao residence when someone came to report, "Empress Dowager, the Regent Princess has sent someone to take the general to the Dali Temple."

Miao Qinghua was very surprised, "They didn't even give the Miao family any face!"

Inside the Dali Temple, a thin, sixty-year-old man, dressed in Dali Temple court robes, slowly walked out. When he saw Ni Yueshan standing there, his eyes cast a complicated glance over at him. This time, he told...

When he saw that it was Miao Li, he was obviously surprised. He suddenly started coughing very hard, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, and then he pretended to faint. Someone immediately stepped forward and supported him.

"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?"

"Kick, I can't breathe!" After saying that, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Someone immediately took Kang Xueyi away in a hurry, and someone else ran to call a doctor.

Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth and walked towards Kang Xueyi step by step, "Fainted from coughing? I have a way!"

The person who was supporting Kang Xueyi looked embarrassed and said, "Well, I won't bother you, Princess, now, right?"

But Ni Yueshan didn't care what others said and reached out to Kang Xueyi.
