Imperial Prison.
It's almost Chinese New Year and it's quite lively. With so many people around, even this cold weather doesn't feel so cold.
Qian and her daughter Chang Ziyu were together.
Because of the cold, we had no choice but to huddle together for warmth.
Although they were fighting over food, there wasn't much to go around, so the clever mother and daughter made up again.
The old woman came to bring hot water. That's good enough; she didn't skimp on anything.
However, seeing the mother and daughter together, with the mother being kind and the daughter being filial, and Chang Ziyu even dressing up in a flamboyant way, the old woman found it amusing.
Chang Ziyu was wearing a blue cloak, but don't think it's bad. The old woman had seen many uglier female prisoners, even more unsightly ones.
The old woman didn't offer Chang Ziyu any guidance. Chang Ziyu was talented; perhaps she would figure out the divine skill on her own. Being able to sell it was her own ability, and the old woman wouldn't interfere.
Although Chang Ziyu's attempt to seduce the old woman failed, her original target was not the old woman, but the prince who lived not far away.
After dinner, Xie Xuan went out for a stroll. Although he couldn't go out, this was still quite a privilege.
Chang Ziyu sat by the door, watching him approach, closer and closer!
He was extremely handsome, and being in prison didn't affect his appearance. His white robe was spotless, not much different from when he was in the Prince's mansion.
Only a prince would receive such treatment. He wasn't injured at all; if he were to provoke her, even Lady Qian wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Clang, clang!
Xie Xuan stood two zhang away from Qian Shi, then turned and left.
Chang Ziyu Jiao, Hu.
Pei Jinnu angrily cursed, "You slut! The Chang family are all sluts!"
Pei Jinnu is going crazy! She was raped in public the day before yesterday! Xie Xuan then gave her away to other men.
Pei Jinnu is still with Xie Xuan, and dares not curse Xie Xuan, but Chang Ziyu is just despicable.
The jailer went over and dragged Pei Jinnu away to be flogged.
Pei Jinnu screamed again! She rushed frantically to Chang Ziyu and grabbed her by the neck!
Chang Ziyu only has one hand, and she has to play the victim in front of the prince.
Xie Xuan watched the show from the sidelines. Watching a bunch of lunatics in these crazy times only made things a little crazier.
Chang Ziyu was almost choked to death, but Xie Xuan didn't move.
The jailer didn't move, partly because Xie Xuan had seen enough, and partly because it didn't matter whether the Pei family women, including Chang Ziyu, lived or died.
Only Qian was anxious, so she grabbed a hot water bottle and a teapot and smashed them hard on Pei Jinnu's head.
Pei Jinnu screamed!
Madam Qian had never liked this illegitimate daughter and picked up a tile from the ground.
Chang Ziyu could grab Pei Jinnu with one hand. Qian killed her.
Xie Xuan sneered, having seen enough.
Blood was everywhere, and Chang Ziyu collapsed.
Madam Qian hurriedly hugged her and cried out, "Please, Your Highness! My daughter is the most virtuous!"
Xie Xuan laughed so hard he almost died, then turned around and walked away with a clatter.
Pei Huanqiao hid inside.
I know this matter was caused by Xie Xuan, and I also know that Pei Jinnu and Qian Shi are not good people.
It seems that Xie Xuan is with her again. Without Pei Jinnu and Pei Huanxin, Chang Ziyu is unlikely to come.
Xie Xuan likes hands, and Pei Huanqiao happens to have a pair of beautiful hands, while Chang Ziyu only has one hand. Could it be that Xie Xuan also likes hands?
Pei Huanqiao's life isn't too bad right now, but Xie Xuan has a terrible temper, and she doesn't dare to mess with him.
Xie Xuan was quite surprised by Cui Jin's arrival.
Although Cui Jin no longer bore the surname Xie, her life in Sheng'an was still better than in prison. Her injuries had mostly healed, and she was wearing a red jacket and skirt, still looking somewhat youthful.
Xie Xuan likes flowers, but Cui Jin doesn't quite qualify now.
Cui Jin is very calm now, looking at Xie Xuan's handcuffs and shackles, he looks quite pathetic.
Xie Xuan didn't care at all. It felt strange at first, but it would get used to after a while.
Cui Jin thought to himself, "This is how people gradually degenerate."
However, Xie Xuan was able to receive this special treatment because of the Xie family's children and grandchildren.
Cui Jin was able to enter so easily only because she was still the emperor's daughter.
It was snowing heavily outside and quite cold inside, so Cui Jin didn't plan to stay any longer.
Xie Xuan sneered: "Want to invite you for tea?"
He could still enjoy good tea. Cui Jin didn't feel honored, and simply asked, "Don't you want to go out?"
Xie Xuan asked, "Don't you want to have the surname Xie?"
Cui Jin glanced at him, then turned and left to find Xie Su.
There are other people we can find besides Xie Xuan, and Xie Su is only slightly better than Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan watched Cui Jin's retreating figure and sneered. He didn't go over to eavesdrop.
Xie Su and Cui Jin are about the same age, and now they are about the same level of calm. They also have similar plans.
Cui Jin was in jail, and standing there, he kept asking the same question: "Don't you want to get out?"
Xie Su looked at her, asking if she had any good ideas.
Cui Jin lowered his voice: "Huan Ting hasn't moved. Don't you want to make a contribution? Everyone looks out for themselves."
Xie Su understands!
Huan Ting will definitely be moved.
But to be honest, Huan Ting and the Zhuang family aren't like him; it's true that everyone has to look out for themselves.
Cui Jin is gone.
If Xie Su were to request permission to lead an army, King Wu would certainly help him.
If Xie Su performs meritorious service, a princely title will be returned to him.
Without the help of the King and Queen of Wu, Cui Jin was able to revert to her surname Xie and remain a princess.
Of course, Cui Jin had other plans.
Loyalty is all nonsense. But the princess's status is indeed important.
The King of Wu is already raising a son born out of wedlock, isn't the Queen Consort of Wu worried?
As for the Fu family, Cui Jin can deal with them to some extent, but the Emperor is unwilling.
If Cui Jin has the ability and can help the Crown Princess, how could she not be grateful?
In short, Cui Jin's previous path was not quite right, but some things were right and should be put to use as soon as possible.
As for the Cui family, they're not hers. Cui Jin wouldn't feel any unease using the Cui family.
Many things can change in the blink of an eye. It's a matter of winners and losers, but it's also exhilarating.
Xie Su looked up and saw Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan chuckled.
Huanting is no good place; he'd rather not go there.
Huan Ting hasn't made a move yet, probably waiting for a good opportunity. Going there would only be suicide.
Xie Su ignored him; his third brother was never serious.
Within the Great Zhao, how much influence can Huan Ting possibly have? When the royal army arrives, he will be utterly annihilated.
Xie Su had never fought in a war, and the court could not entrust him with the task, but there was nothing they could do.
Qian's side has been cleaned up.
The old woman took away Qian's last tael of silver.
Xie Xuan was able to live well because of the care he received from Princess Wu.
No one cared about Qian Shi and Chang Ziyu. Although winter was almost over after this snow, there might be rewards for them at the New Year.
Chang Ziyu woke up, feeling cold!
Ms. Qian was displeased: "Stop pretending."
Chang Ziyu said coldly, "Have Huan Yue send the silver over."
Qian asked, "What's your idea?"
Chang Ziyu asked, "If you were seriously ill, would she not care?" Especially during the Lunar New Year.
Mrs. Qian was so angry she was trembling!
It wasn't that she would rather die than ask Huan Yue for anything, but rather that if she were seriously ill, could she expect Chang Ziyu to take care of her? Besides, being seriously ill could mean death, so she shouldn't even think about it!
Madam Qian stared warily at Chang Ziyu; this daughter was indeed an enemy! However, if Chang Ziyu dared to lay a hand on her, she probably wouldn't have a good ending either.
Chang Ziyu was furious. Couldn't Qian Shi do the same for her? Besides, Huan Yue couldn't let Qian Shi die; was she that afraid of death?
Qian Shi grew increasingly ruthless. Why didn't Chang Ziyu just die herself? Her death wouldn't have caused Qian Shi any loss.
Chang Ziyu is destined for greatness! She will not die!
