Rong Xiu sat cross-legged in the cell, leaning against the wooden wall and teasing Hua Yuanzhao who was sitting next to him.

"We have been in jail together, so you..."

"Stop making noise." Hua Yuanzhao said without raising his head as he pondered the prescription in his mind.

"Oh." Rong Xiu blinked, closed his mouth and looked around, his eyes sweeping across the bloodstained straw in the corner.

He was quiet for a while, then he knocked on the wooden wall again and asked Hua Yuanzhao: "Do you know who lived in this cell before?"

"How would I know?" Hua Yuanzhao blurted out. She patiently raised her head and looked in his direction with a slightly concentrated look.

How could she forget this cell? Yuan Chunfeng had lived in this cell before...

As a doctor, she is used to seeing life and death, but she still thinks of Yuan Chunfeng's eyes wide open when she wakes up in the middle of the night.

Rong Xiu looked at her expression carefully, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and reached out to give her a slap.

"It's okay if you don't know. Even if you know, don't tell." Rong Xiu said casually.

He hit Hua Yuanzhao so hard that he almost cried. He covered his head and glared at him angrily: "Are you mentally ill?"

Rong Xiu leaned forward with a playful smile: "Then let me have a look?"

The jailer looked over here with shackles in his hands and coughed heavily: "Prisoner Hua Yuanzhao, what are you doing? It's your turn!"

As he spoke, he opened the cell door and walked towards Hua Yuanzhao.

"Hey." Rong Xiu kicked the wooden wall and said nonchalantly, "Take off the shackles."

The jailer was dissatisfied and looked at this side sarcastically. He looked Rong Xiu up and down before saying, "Oh, you still think you are the master?"

Now that you're in a place like this, why are you putting on airs?

"I don't know whether it is true or not, but if that thing dares to fall into her hands, you can forget about having these hands." Rong Xiu raised his eyelids and said lightly.

Hua Yuanzhao cooperated in the bluffing: "As expected of the Rong family's eldest son, you speak so confidently."

"Prince Rong?" The jailer's legs went limp, and he quickly threw the shackles aside, saying with a smile, "It was my fault that I didn't recognize the great man. Please don't blame me, Prince."

Who in the capital doesn't know the name of this devil? He can escape unscathed even from the execution ground, so wouldn't he be released after just a short stroll in the prison?

If he offends someone, what good will it be for him when this devil is released from prison?

"Mr. Rong, you don't have to wear the shackles, but the court has already started, and Miss Hua must go."

Rong Xiu wanted to say something, but Hua Yuanzhao had already nodded: "Let's go."

…

The Dali Temple was in court to hear a case, and the case was the "ghost" incident that had made a lot of noise recently. As soon as the news got out, people flocked to the court and stretched their necks to watch.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo sat in the hall and listened, her back straight, her eyes full of sternness and hostility.

The gavel was banged in the hall, and Hua Yuanzhao walked out under the guidance of the jailer, looking calm and not panicking.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo slightly curved her lips. This Miss Hua is quite magnanimous!

The onlookers were also surprised when they saw Hua Yuanzhao's round body.

According to rumors, Miss Hua had long become stupid and fat like a pig. But now, although she was a little fat, her aura was quite impressive.

Hua Yuanzhao knelt on the ground, listening calmly as Gu Changsu pinned one crime after another on him, without any fluctuation throughout the whole process.

Seeing her cooperation, Gu Changsu nodded secretly in his heart, and the depression that had accumulated in his heart for many days was relieved a lot.

Although this woman had caused him a lot of trouble these days, at least she knew her limits and did not continue to embarrass him.

She was indeed somewhat unfair in this case, but as long as she cooperated and confessed, he was willing to let her die comfortably.

"Hua Yuanzhao, do you plead guilty?" Gu Changsu cleared his throat and asked in a deep voice.

Hua Yuanzhao had been listening quietly until this moment when he raised his head and said, "Everything listed in the court is a false accusation. I don't admit it!"

Gu Changsu's face suddenly turned dark, and the people outside the hall were talking about it.

"This case happened in the Imperial Palace, which is under strict guard. May I ask how your Highness can a servant like me avoid the guards and enter the palace to harm people? This is one of the options!"

"When this case came out, rumors started. The rumors were all about Princess Qionghui, but Princess Qionghui has been dead for many years. May I ask your Highness, I have no relationship with Princess Qionghui, why did you involve Princess Qionghui in the rumors? This is the second reason!"

"The first victim in this case died in public. When the victim died, I was training in the old lady's room at home. The Prime Minister's Mansion can all testify to this. May I ask Your Highness, how can I split myself to kill people? This is the third one!"

Hua Yuanzhao finished speaking loudly, staring at Gu Changsu with his eyes, and asked carefully: "Your Highness, how should Your Highness interpret these three points?"

Gu Changsu gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He stared at Hua Yuanzhao who was kneeling on the ground, murderous intent in his eyes.

He should have arranged for her to "commit suicide out of fear of crime" on the way back instead of giving her a chance to speak here!

Seeing this, Song Zuo, who was in the crowd, shouted, "How do you know when the first person died? You are a great doctor, who knows if you used some slow-acting poison!"

Gu Changsu's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that this was not good.

Sure enough, Hua Yuanzhao, who was kneeling on the ground, curled his lips slightly and his eyes shone brightly.

"I know this because..." She stared at Gu Changsu and said word by word, "Since the incident, the Third Prince has been asking me to assist him in the autopsy!"

Gu Changsu, who was sitting high on the stage, was tense all over, his heart filled with shock, but his face showed no sign of it.

How dare this woman! How dare she tell the truth!

"How is this possible?"

Someone among the onlookers shouted.

"Don't the government offices have coroners? Why do they need a little girl?"

"Maybe her medical skills are better?"

"How can a little girl possibly compete with an experienced coroner?"

Amid the discussions, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo spoke slowly, "Third Prince, is this true?"
