As expected, not long after Tian Yu left the house the next day, Qiu Ju and Lü Liu rushed back to say that Tian Yu had been kidnapped.
Tangyuan heard this and asked loudly, "Why are you arresting Mother?!"
"What happened?!" Li Xingyun asked nervously.
“We don’t know either. My wife and I had just gone out, and everything was fine at first. My wife was planning to go to a nearby restaurant, but suddenly a little boy rushed out, grabbed my wife, and wouldn’t let go, shouting for help. My wife squatted down to ask him something, and then the child… collapsed and foamed at the mouth. My wife saw that the situation was bad and went to check on him, and that’s when a group of soldiers came and arrested my wife without asking any questions,” Qiuju explained.
"Send Gale to inform the Prince," Li Xingyun said calmly.
"Green Willow has gone to find Gale."
"No! I have to go save my mother." Tangyuan said, about to leave. She had never been so agitated when she heard that her father had been arrested.
"Stop! Have you forgotten what your mother taught you? Don't worry, your uncle will find a way to save your mother."
"But what do we do now? Father hasn't been rescued yet, and Mother has gone in too."
"Don't worry, they won't hurt your mother for now. Qiuju, tell me what happened again, especially the child's symptoms, the more detailed the better."
"good!"
Qiuju recounted the events in detail again, and Li Xingyun said, "You mean that as soon as the child died, the soldiers rushed out?"
"Yes! No matter how we explained, they wouldn't listen. They insisted that the madam had killed the child in the street, so they forcibly took the madam away."
"That child has been poisoned! It seems this was not an accident, but something done on purpose."
"Is it the princess and the others?"
"Possibly, let's see what Prince Wu says first."
"good!"
It wasn't until evening that Li Xingyun and the others finally received Green Willow and Gale. Green Willow said, "Prince Wu is trying to find a solution. He told us to wait patiently at the Marquis's residence and not to cause any more trouble."
"Alright! Since Prince Wu has said so, nothing serious will happen. Everyone, go back and rest," Li Xingyun said.
But no one wanted to go back, so they all stood in the hall waiting. Jifeng said, "Don't worry, everyone. Prince Wu will definitely save the lady. She will be fine."
"How long will it take? Why aren't you saving them now?" Tangyuan asked worriedly.
"This matter is actually very simple. Normally, His Highness could resolve it with just a word. However, because the Che Kingdom delegation is about to enter the capital, things are a bit complicated. But please believe that my Prince will definitely rescue the Lady."
"Alright, everyone, go downstairs. Butler Zhou will have the kitchen prepare some food for everyone. After you've eaten, go back to sleep and wait for news," Li Xingyun said.
"Yes, this old servant will go right away."
Tangyuan was led back to her courtyard by Lvliu with a displeased look on her face. Once back in the courtyard, Tangyuan refused to eat and locked herself in her room. No matter what Lvliu said, she wouldn't open the door. Xuanyu couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the tray, kicked the door open, and went in, saying, "If you don't eat, you'll starve to death and your mother won't be able to come back." After saying that, he put down the tray and stood aside.
"I'm not hungry, I'm just thinking about something."
"I'll think about it after I finish eating."
"If I come up with a solution, will Brother Xuanyu help me?"
"meeting!"
"That's good!" Tangyuan said, sitting down to eat. Xuanyu glanced at Tangyuan strangely. Was this how her father and mother looked after being arrested? But then he thought about it and realized it made sense. He shook his head helplessly. This family was really strange!
"Brother Xuanyu, would you like to have dinner together?"
"No need! I've already eaten."
On the other side, Tian Yu, who was imprisoned in the dungeon of the capital's government office, looked at the dilapidated cell in front of her. Along the way, Tian Yu had already understood the reason. She shook her head with a bitter smile and sighed to herself, "Indeed, feudal society is feudal society. As long as you have power, killing people and framing them in the street is a piece of cake."
"Stay put!" the jailer said, locking the cell door and leaving.
The next day, under the prince's arrangement, Li Xingyun and Tangyuan went to visit Tian Yu in prison. When they entered, Tian Yu's cell had been completely renovated, becoming much cleaner, tidier, and more comfortable. There were also several books, paper, and writing materials. The jailer opened the cell door and let them in.
"See? I didn't lie to you!" the prince said.
"Mother! Mother!"
"Why are you here?"
"Mother! I will find a way to get you out of here."
"Listen to your uncle, Mother is fine. Look, it's fine here."
"Brother, please take good care of Tangyuan during this time."
"Don't worry! I will."
"As I said before, due to the visit of the Che Kingdom delegation, the capital is under heavy security. All those suspected of causing trouble have been arrested and temporarily detained. Once the delegation leaves, the government will handle the matter carefully. With me by her side, she will be fine."
"Did you hear that, Tangyuan? Mother is doing well. Be good and stay in the Marquis's mansion. Mother will leave in a few days."
"These are things Qiuju and Lvliu prepared for you." Li Xingyun handed the package in his arms to Tian Yu.
"Brother, hurry up and take Tangyuan back!"
"Good, I'm glad you're alright. Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Mother, I won't leave! I want to stay with you."
"Tangyuan, be good. Mother will be out soon. You must study hard and practice martial arts, understand?"
"Mother, Tangyuan doesn't want to leave you."
"Listen to me and go back with your uncle."
"Mother!"
Tian Yu watched with reluctance as the jailer took Tang Yuan and Li Xingyun away. After leaving the cell, Tian Yu turned to Prince Wu and asked, "Have you investigated that child?"
"Don't worry, I've already had someone check it; it was a case of poisoning."
