Nangong Yu took Gao Zhenzhen's hand and said, "I will go with her."
"Your Highness Prince Qin, with your status, you can certainly serve as a juror. May I ask if you have the emperor's order?" Yuan Zhengqing threw in a cold shoulder.
Nangong Yu had never thought of handing over Gao Zhenzhen. Of course, he couldn't ask for an imperial decree in advance, so he could only watch Gao Zhenzhen leave: "Yuan Zhengqing, if Zhenzhen suffers in Shuntian Prefecture, I will never give up!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Qin, our government won't make things difficult for a patient." Yuan Zhengqing said with a smile, looking at Ling Xiang.
"Miss Ling, I'd like to trouble you to go to Shuntian Prefecture again."
"It's my duty." Ling Xiang bowed, "Your Highness, I will take my leave."
Nangong Yu stared at Ling Xiang's departing back, his expression changing several times.
If Ling Xiang hadn't come to interfere, Yuan Zhengqing would never have been able to take Gao Zhenzhen away from him.
He still underestimated her.
…
Sitting in the prison cell of Shuntian Prefecture, Gao Zhenzhen racked her brains but couldn't figure out why things turned out like this, why it was completely different from her previous life, and why she was imprisoned?
She had clearly ruined the relationship between Ling Xiang and King Qin, so why were they still granted the marriage?
Why did all her efforts still fail?
Why is Ling Xiang now completely different from her previous life?
Did her rebirth change everything?
No, no matter how things develop, she can't just sit there and wait for death.
She walked to the door of the cell and said arrogantly, "Come here, I want to see Master Yuan!"
After receiving the report from the jailer, Yuan Zhengqing did not ask whether he wanted to see Gao Zhenzhen. He just waved his hand and asked the jailer to leave.
"Sir, aren't you going to interrogate Gao Zhenzhen?" Ling Xiang asked.
Yuan Zhengqing was confident: "No rush, let her dry out first."
Ling Xiang expressed her understanding. After all, Gao Zhenzhen thought she had the support of the King of Qin, and she was arrogant and would not easily take Shuntian Prefecture seriously. She had to be given some time to face reality.
However, King Qin might not give Yuan Zhengqing too much time.
"Can I see Zhang Qian and that maid?"
Yuan Zhengqing nodded: "Miss Ling can meet anyone who is related to this case."
Ling Xiang went to see the maid who accused Gao Zhenzhen of colluding with Zhang Qian.
Yuan Zhengqing made very careful arrangements. All the jailers had withdrawn, and no one would know what she had talked about with the people in the cell.
The maid was covered in wounds and sat on the straw mat with an expressionless face.
Ling Xiang walked into the cell, took out a bottle of medicine and placed it next to the maid: "How long have you been with Gao Zhenzhen?"
The maid glanced at the medicine bottle and said sarcastically, "You are not an official, so what right do you have to interrogate me?"
"You're not an ordinary maid." Ling Xiang said indifferently, "You haven't been with Gao Zhenzhen for long. Moreover, your family members mysteriously disappeared after you were arrested. The one with this ability should not be Gao Zhenzhen, but the eldest princess."
The maid's expression changed slightly, but she quickly concealed it: "Miss Ling, the princess is so kind to you, how could you frame her!"
"I didn't say anything. How did I frame the princess?" Ling Xiang stood up with a smile. Even if the maid didn't admit it, she had guessed the truth from her micro-expression - everything was arranged by the princess.
It seems that the eldest princess has made sufficient preparations to let Ling Xiang marry the King of Qin and kick out Gao Zhenzhen, who is in the way.
She went to see Zhang Qian again.
Zhang Qian's condition was better than the maid's, and she didn't have as many injuries on her body.
Seeing Ling Xiang walk in, Zhang Qian was very excited and rushed over to grab the prison door: "Ling Xiang! Bitch, how dare you come here! You harmed Huamei, harmed the wet nurse, and you want to harm me! Bitch! I will kill you!"
Ling Xiang sat down outside the cell and said admiringly, "Zhang, you are so brave! You actually dared to frame the King of Qin's beloved."
Zhang Qian said guiltily: "I'm telling the truth!"
"The truth?" Ling Xiang smiled. "The truth is, in order to save your life, you agreed to the princess's proposal and framed Gao Zhenzhen. I guess the people sent by the princess also promised you that they would rescue you."
Zhang Qian said stubbornly, "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't want to see you right now! Get out!"
Ling Xiang stared at Zhang Qian: "Weren't you quite smart when you were dealing with me before? Why are you suddenly so stupid now?"
Zhang Qian didn't understand what was going on and cursed, "You're the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid!"
"You don't really think that after you framed Gao Zhenzhen, the King of Qin will let you go, do you? I'm afraid you'll be beheaded before you even return to the Zhang family. Who knows, maybe even the entire Zhang family will be implicated by you, and he might even slaughter them all."
Zhang Qian couldn't imagine such an outcome and immediately retorted, "Impossible! The Princess said she would ensure my family's prosperity and wealth for the rest of their lives!"
Ling Xiang smiled: "I see."
Zhang Qian then realized she had let the cat out of the bag and immediately tried to make amends, "I didn't frame Gao Zhenzhen!"
"Yes, it's not you, it's the eldest princess." Ling Xiang stood up and left.
"Ling Xiang, don't go! You can't go out and talk nonsense. I didn't do that!" Zhang Qian was very excited.
Ling Xiang turned around and kindly reminded her, "Zhang, don't worry, you won't die in Shuntian Prefecture."
Zhang Qian instantly felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and put on a smile: "Xiang'er, you will save me, right?"
Ling Xiang looked at her belly: "You are pregnant, one month. The laws of the Dajing Empire stipulate that pregnant women cannot be killed."
Zhang Qian was stunned and stared at her stomach.
She's pregnant? One month?
Then this child is not...
"Ling Xiang!" Zhang Qian stretched out her hand, grabbing desperately, "Please help me! I need to see the miracle doctor He Xun!"
