Zou Yangyao ignored Ni Yingying, just like when he wrote the divorce letter to Ni Yueshan!
"General, I was the one who saved you! I was at the scene, but I didn't hurt my sister. I didn't dare admit that it was the Fourth Prince's wife and the princess because I didn't want to make enemies for you, General!"
"General, why don't you understand my painstaking efforts?" Ni Yingying knelt in front of Zou Yangyao and looked at him pleadingly.
Zou Yangyao had a cold expression on his face, he didn't bother to pay attention and continued to write.
Ni Yingying reached out and grabbed the brush in Zou Yangyao's hand, shaking her head at him: "General, I can find evidence that the princess committed a crime! If you don't divorce me, I will find it!"
Zou Yangyao stopped moving and turned to look at Ni Yingying. "If you can find evidence to prove her guilt within a month, I will never sign this divorce letter. If you can't find it, I must give it to you!"
Tears streamed down Ni Yingying's face as she nodded vigorously: "Okay, I, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you!"
"Then go collect evidence!"
Zou Yangyao pretended to stand up and Ni Yingying hurried to support him.

After several days of searching, the searchers found nothing except the piece of cloth.
Jing Yuchen's fever continued to rise, and Yu Fei was very anxious. "We should send the Second Prince back to the capital to recuperate. We can't delay any longer."
He's wasting time here, occasionally unconscious, with no signs of improvement. I can't help him, and staying here will only make his condition worse!
Yu Fei made the decision, and many people in the Prince's Mansion obeyed Yu Fei and followed her instructions to send Jing Yuchen's people back.
The team had just set off when Yu Fei saw Ni Yingying appear with her group!
Yu Fei frowned. The wound on Ni Yingying's cheek had not healed yet, and she still had the courage to come?
Ni Yingying took the initiative to step forward and, seeing that Yu Fei had no intention of seeking justice, she simply suggested, "Let's work together to find the truth!"
Yu Fei looked at Ni Yingying in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
Ni Yingying sighed and said, "Although the emperor tried the case, only the Fourth Prince's wife could not escape the blame, but the princess is fine. Now I am here to search for evidence to prove the princess's guilt!"
"Why should I believe you? Who knows if you're plotting something?"
Ni Yingying sighed helplessly: "Do you think I want to? The general has said that if I don't find evidence to prove that the princess is guilty, I will be divorced!"
Seeing Yu Fei looking at her in surprise, Ni Yingying reached out and touched her cheek: "You hit me, remember it for now, I'll settle the score with you after the storm calms down!"
Yu Fei remained silent, so Ni Yingying continued, "First, the princess came to the scene that day, intending to take the opportunity to kill the eldest sister. But in the end, I don't know whether she was afraid or soft-hearted, so she gave up and left first."
"Even if she had nothing to do with the eldest sister falling off the cliff, she was involved in this incident, so she has to pay the price!"
Yu Fei looked at her with a questioning look in her eyes: "So how did you know all this?"
"You just need to understand that I don't want to be your enemy now!"
"If you want to investigate, go by yourself. I don't have time to accompany you!" Yu Fei rolled her eyes at Ni Yingying and walked away.
After Jing Yuchen was sent to the capital, many doctors surrounded him to treat him. He got better and regained consciousness the next day.
Upon learning that he had already left the cliff and returned to the capital, Jing Yuchen was filled with anger: "Who gave you the courage to send this prince back!"
He roared in a hoarse voice, got out of bed angrily, and went to find Ni Yueshan without even putting on his shoes.
Nanny Bai stood by the bed. She reluctantly said, "It's not that I'm cruel and don't want you to go find her, but you need to get well before you go!"
Jing Yuchen's face is now covered with stubble, his cheeks are thinner, and his body seems to be much thinner. How can she feel at ease and let him continue to search for Ni Yueshan when he is so haggard and seriously ill?
"Mammy, the search is urgent. I want to go find her!"
Nanny Bai, however, said to the guarding servants with a serious expression: "All of you go out and lock the door. Let the Second Prince take good care of his health. If he is not feeling well, he is not allowed to leave!"
Afterwards, Nanny Bai walked out, and the servants followed suit. Jing Yuchen widened his eyes and looked at Nanny's back and said anxiously, "Nanny, what are you doing? I'm just going to look for someone, not to fight. There's no danger!"
Jing Yuchen was weak and walked too hastily, almost falling down. Before he could reach the door, it was closed and locked.
Nanny Bai's voice came from outside the door: "Take good care of yourself. When you recover, we will let you out!"
Nanny Bai and the servants present pretended not to hear Jing Yuchen's shouting.
The incident of Ni Yueshan was a hot topic in the city for a few days, but after it lost its popularity, it died down.
The people began to discuss that envoys from other countries were going to bring their princesses for marriage to Changchang, and they wondered if they could sign an alliance agreement in exchange for peace in the world and promote friendship.
"Now the Second Prince, who has the greatest hope of becoming the crown prince, is seriously injured, and the Fourth Prince is imprisoned. So, will the princess definitely choose the Second Prince for the marriage?"
"Aren't there other princes?"
"The other princes haven't made any great achievements, and they don't even have the ability to leave the palace and set up their own residences. How can they expect the princess to choose them for marriage?"
"Tsk, you're just a commoner, and you're talking as if you really understand the princess's feelings?"
Jing Yuchen was locked in the room. During his recuperation, he tried many ways to get out, but no matter what he did, Nanny Bai would not be fooled. She locked him in the room and reminded him again and again that she would let him go out after he recovered, so what was he doing?
It took half a month for the wound to heal, but there was still no news of Ni Yueshan being found from the other side of the cliff.
Everyone could only guess that the body was eaten by wild animals or fish...
On the first day of Jing Yuchen's freedom, he left the prince's mansion and headed for the cliff. After half a month of searching, the weeds around him were almost trampled to pieces, the rocky road was almost worn flat, and piled bonfires and tents could be seen everywhere.
Jing Yuchen came for the first time in half a month. Yu Fei was still fetching water by the stream. When she heard footsteps, she turned around and looked. When she saw that it was Jing Yuchen, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Second Prince, you are well again!"
She walked forward in surprise and almost fell in front of Jing Yuchen because of excitement.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. Have you found any other clues?"
In fact, even if he didn't ask, he already had the answer in his heart.
Yu Fei lowered her head and replied guiltily: "Not only did we not find Yue Shan, but Shao Lecheng is also missing, and Qing Feng..."
The three people seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. If they were still alive, why didn't they show up?
