Qi Guze remained unconscious in his bedroom behind the Tianxianglou branch for a full day and night without waking up.
Xu Yuehuai waited in prison for a whole day and night, but she didn't receive any news about being released!
Qi Guze had promised Xu Yuehuai last night that he would speak to the King of Mingyue Kingdom today and ask her to come out sooner.
Xu Yuehuai has been waiting for a whole day and night, but there is still no news!
Did Qi Guze not go to see the King of Mingyue Kingdom?
Is it that Qi Guze is now unable to send her messages for safety reasons?
Unable to receive any messages from Qi Guze, Xu Yuehuai had no choice but to inquire with the prison guards.
"Brother jailer! Have you heard any rumors circulating in the palace today?"
What do you want to ask?
The jailer glanced coldly at Xu Yuehuai and asked in return.
Xu Yuehuai said, "This humble woman just wants to ask about me. His Majesty promised me that if I hadn't released the poison, he would have released me!"
"Since there haven't been any official decrees from above, perhaps I've already cleared myself of suspicion and am innocent!"
Upon hearing this, the jailer burst into laughter, bending over with mirth.
"You say you're innocent? You still think you can get out of here?"
"Since I started working in this cell, I have never seen anyone get out of here!"
"I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible, lest you end up even more desperate!"
Xu Yuehuai didn't believe a word the jailer said; she was sure she would get out!
Xu Yuehuai is no ordinary person. She still has some value to the King of Mingyue Kingdom. Even so, the King of Mingyue Kingdom would never be so decisive as to take her life!
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of her with just words, Xu Yuehuai had no choice but to take out a few silver notes from her pocket.
The amount of that silver note was enormous; in the eyes of the jailer, it was equivalent to a lifetime of wealth and honor for him!
The jailer had exceptionally sharp eyes; he spotted it immediately after Xu Yuehuai took out the silver notes!
"Didn't you run out of money before? How come you have it again now?"
The jailer, a wicked smile playing on his lips, questioned Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai remained remarkably calm, holding the silver note between his fingers, and said to the jailer, "Since I was able to bribe you to deliver a message to me..."
“I naturally have ways to get these banknotes from other places.”
"Just tell me whether you want it or not!"
Without pausing for long, the jailer reached out his hand to Xu Yuehuai.
"Give it to me, and I'll tell you whatever information you want!"
Xu Yuehuai smiled faintly and handed the silver notes in her hand to the jailer.
"Has anyone gone to His Majesty the King and asked him to save me?"
Upon hearing this, the jailer thought for a moment before saying, "Recently, two strangers came looking for His Majesty. I don't know what they wanted, but they seemed to be in a hurry. This was told to me by a friend of mine in the palace."
He wasn't just making things up, and he certainly wasn't trying to swindle Xu Yuehuai out of her money!
Xu Yuehua nodded slightly after hearing this.
Then, Xu Yuehuai continued to ask, "So how is Her Highness the Princess now?"
After saying that, the jailer greedily waved the few silver notes in his hand and said to Xu Yuehuai, "These silver notes are only enough for me to answer your question just now. If you want to know anything else, you know what to do."
Xu Yuehuai knew beforehand that this jailer was particularly greedy, but he never expected him to be this greedy!
Fortunately, the jailer was greedy, and it's quite easy to control a greedy person.
Xu Yuehuai then took out a few more silver notes from his pocket and handed them to the jailer.
Can you answer now?
The jailer raised an eyebrow and smiled, then replied, "I heard that Her Highness the Princess's health has not improved!"
"What?"
Xu Yuehuai had previously taught Physician Li some methods to properly treat the little princess's condition.
But now the jailer says the little princess's health hasn't improved! What's going on?
For a moment, Xu Yuehuai couldn't tell whether it was Physician Li who was lying, or the jailer in front of him!
However, when Physician Li applied the medicine to her earlier, his attitude towards her was noticeably better than before.
That proves that the little princess's condition did indeed improve the day before yesterday!
Perhaps the news hasn't spread yet, and the others in the palace don't know about it!
"Alright, I have no other questions."
Xu Yuehuai sat silently in the chair, resting her chin on one hand, deep in thought.
After hearing what Xu Yuehuai said, the jailer did not leave immediately, but instead extended his hand again.
"The silver you just paid was for information; now you still owe me money to keep quiet!"
If Xu Yuehuai hadn't paid him hush money, he might have gone around spreading rumors.
Xu Yuehuai was speechless, and impatiently pulled out a few more silver notes and threw them at the jailer.
After receiving the silver notes, the jailer grinned and left, counting the notes as he went.
"If you ever have something like this again, remember to call me!"
Xu Yuehuai shook his head dismissively and ignored the jailer.
There's no news from Qi Guze right now, and I don't know if Chu Guangbai is willing to save me!
The princess's situation is unknown, and the King of Mingyue Kingdom has a particularly complicated attitude.
Xu Yuehuai was still trapped in prison, cut off from news, and could only get some information from the lowly prison guards.
If Xu Yuehuai wanted to leave prison safely, she didn't know what other way she could find.
Xu Yuehuai thought that she first needed to recover from her injuries so that she could endure in prison a little longer.
She used the excellent wound medicine that Qi Guze had given her and reapplied it to the wound.
This is truly a top-quality wound medicine. Xu Yuehuai only applied it twice, and the wound had already healed considerably!
If you use it a few more times, the wound might be able to heal completely!
When Xu Yuehuai applied the medicine to her wound again, she couldn't help but think of Qi Guze.
I wonder what Qi Guze is doing now, and whether he cares about her at all.
Xu Yuehuai gazed at the crescent moon on the horizon, hugging the cold blanket, huddled in a corner.
"Aze...when are you coming to pick me up?"
Xu Yuehuai prided herself on not being a weak person, but now she was alone in prison and had been framed. If no one helped her clear her name, she would probably die here!
At that moment, she couldn't think of any other way to save herself.
All that's left is to "wait"!
Xu Yuehuai hopes that her waiting will truly lead to her being exonerated!
