I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

He was startled and sweat started to break out on his back.

It seems that the rumors outside are true. The emperor is the big winner this time. He imprisoned Prince Qing who was preparing for rebellion, and also dealt with Fu Jichang who was in a powerful position.

Lord Cao didn't dare say anything else and just asked someone to bring some warm things.

The news spread like wildfire, and soon everyone in the capital knew about it.

Some expressed regret, some sympathized, some spoke up for Fu Jichang, and some smiled secretly...

Ji Xiaobei came to Fu Jichang's yard and saw Heita squatting at the foot of the wall with his head lowered and his eyes red.

Seeing Ji Xiaobei coming over, she choked up and said, "Miss Ji, you are here. Go and see the master. She hasn't eaten for a whole day. How can the emperor treat the master like this!"

Ji Xiaobei was also unwilling to accept it, but this was not the time to get angry and complain, lest he be caught by the enemy and make another report to the court, which would be extremely disadvantageous to Ji Chang.

Ji Xiaobei's face tightened and he said, "It's fine to say this at home, but you can't say it outside, understand?"

Heita realized that he had said the wrong thing and nodded quickly.

Ji Xiaobei looked inside from the window outside the study.

Fu Jichang was sitting there in a daze, staring at the gold medal on the table. It was the reward he received from the emperor after pacifying the northern border.

Ji Xiaobei felt distressed when he saw his lonely look. He wanted to go in and give him some advice, but he didn't know what to say.

She turned and left.

Heita is leaving tomorrow and said goodbye to Xiaoju.

Mrs. Lin also found out about it and felt very distressed, but she did not dare to curse in public. After all, it was the emperor's decision.

She silently looked at the two children who were happily playing in the yard.

It's really pitiful.

She went to the workshop and asked Aunt Song and others to stop some of their work and make some thick cotton coats for Fu Jichang and Heita.

It’s so cold in the northwest, it’s miserable.

Ji Xiaobei rode the little white horse to the capital.

The capital city was as bustling as ever, as if nothing had happened.

She went directly to the young prince's mansion on the back street of Hanlin Academy.

At the gate of the young prince's mansion, there were several guards with dark faces and holding big swords, arguing with another group of people.

Ji Xiaobei watched from a distance.

"We have been ordered to search the entire city. Please inform the young prince..."

The arrival was menacing.

The guards of the Prince's Mansion held their swords forward and said, "I don't know who you are searching for? How dare you search the Prince's Mansion? The Emperor asked the Prince to study hard and even forgo going to the Foling Temple to pray for blessings. Do you really want to go in and disturb the Prince?"

The guard refused to give in and spoke in a fierce tone.

The person confronting him softened his tone: "We are also following orders!"

"Are you going to disobey the emperor's orders?" the guard shouted.

The men took a step back, bowed and said, "Excuse me..."

The group left quickly.

After a while, Ji Xiaobei walked over leading the little white horse.

When Ji Xiaobei saw the black-faced man, he thought, isn’t this Tong Yi?

"Tong Qinwei, I'm looking for your young prince..."

The guard took the reins from Ji Xiaobei.

She entered the yard.

The door was slammed shut.

A servant came over and led Ji Xiaobei into the backyard.

After entering Li Yunjiong's study, Ji Xiaobei glanced around the room.

My God, there were books on all four walls, and there was a long table in the middle, with books on it and some unfinished writing on it.

Ji Xiaobei: ...This thing is comparable to the National Library.

"Sister Xiaobei, why are you here?" Li Yunjiong's eyes were full of admiration.

He listened to Tong Yi's account of what had happened and found it unbelievable.

"Is Lang Ning okay?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"He's awake now, it's just a skin injury, the doctor said it's nothing serious, just take care of him."

Li Yunjiong said.

Ji Xiaobei nodded and continued: "I want to ask you a favor, can you take me to the palace?"

Li Yunjiong shook his head nervously. How could this be possible?

A major incident had just occurred in the court, and all aspects were under strict investigation. How could he bring people into the palace without permission?

"Sister Xiaobei, do you want to ask our father for an explanation?" Li Yunjiong asked with his eyes darkening.

"Yes, by doing this, he hurt the hearts of loyal officials. How many people in the court can be as dedicated and loyal as Fu Jichang?"

Ji Xiaobei spoke with indignation.

Li Yunjiong looked ashamed.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Xiaobei said: "You don't have to agree, please take a letter to the emperor..."

Li Yunjiong immediately nodded in agreement.

Ji Xiaobei took out a letter he had written in advance from his pocket.

She asked Lian Feng to write it for her.

Ji Xiaobei went to see Lang Ning. He had recovered well and was able to walk again.

"Thank you, Miss Ji. I'm missing. Someone must be searching for me. I can't stay here for long and cause trouble to the host family."

Ronning said.

He was carried here while unconscious and had no idea that he was in the young prince's mansion.

"What are you going to do?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

Lang Ning shook his head gently and said, "For the time being, I still have some ideas. Let's leave here first. If it doesn't work, we can go into the mountains. We won't starve to death."

He looked up at Ji Xiaobei: "How is the princess?"

"She is indeed poisoned. Lian Feng is helping her to detoxify..."

"I, I want to see the princess, is that okay?"

Lang Ning said with a hint of pleading.

Ji Xiaobei agreed, and she came this time just to take him away.

Staying with the young prince is not a long-term solution and will only bring trouble to him.

After hiring a carriage, Lang Ning arrived at the yard where Mrs. Huang lived when it was dark.

Princess Qing tearfully told him to leave and never show up in the capital or Anzhou again.

"What are you going to do?" Lang Ning looked directly at Princess Qing.

Princess Qing smiled bitterly: "Of course I will return to the palace. No matter how I am punished, I will be a member of the royal family if I am alive, and a ghost of the royal family if I die..."

"No!" Lang Ning said firmly, "You can't go back. If you want, I will take you away from this place."

Princess Qing said with a hint of sarcasm: "Guard Lang, do you know what you are talking about? Where are you taking me?"

Lang Ning suddenly came to his senses. He was just a guard and she was the high and mighty princess.

"Doctor Huang said that my illness is much better now. You should go now, immediately!" The princess turned her head away and no longer looked at him, but her eyes were filled with tears.

Zhao Mu entered the mansion, pregnant, and acted like a master.

Everyone in the palace listened to her, and everyone was looking forward to her death.

Now that Prince Qing was in trouble, Zhao Mu was imprisoned as well.

If you go back by yourself, you will die.

But I have no choice but to go back, otherwise, what else can I do?

Before he died, he knew that someone risked his life to save him.

It’s worth it in this life.

At this time, Ji Xiaobei came in from outside.

Lang Ning knelt on the ground like a piece of wood, motionless, his face ashen and in extreme pain.

The princess turned her head away, her face full of tears.

Ji Xiaobei: Oh! It is so pitiful to be unable to get the love you want.

She said, "Princess, you can't go back. Going back means death. No matter how life will be like in the future, people must always live first..."
