My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, the air was filled with the smell of blood and all kinds of filthy things, which made people feel sick.

Zhu Shaoqing's prison uniform had long been tattered from being whipped, and was soaked with blood. Some of it had dried up, while some places still had fresh blood seeping out.

Although his body was bruised and battered, his eyes were still shining. He glared at Cui Hongjing in front of him fiercely, "Your Highness, you come here every day, aren't you tired?"

Cui Hongjing lazily sat on the chair, his slender fingertips tapping the armrests nonchalantly, "I am doing things for my father under his order, so how could I feel tired?"

"Your Highness, please don't waste your energy. I have already said that no one is instructing me."

"I will ask you one last time. After you got the secret letter from the deposed crown prince and the Xiling Emperor, why didn't you hand it over to my father yourself? You could have made a contribution, but instead you went to such lengths and asked Wei Tianjie to report it first."

"I will answer this one last time. Wei Tianjie was used by his own family. He has no value and has become a discarded pawn. Even if the crown prince is deposed, he will definitely die. I feel sorry for him, so I want him to make some achievements and save his life. That's all. If I knew that I would end up like this, I would never risk my life for an irrelevant person."

"You're still trying to be tough, aren't you? Don't you worry about your family? As far as I know, you still have a wife, children, and an elderly mother at home. Even if you can withstand the torture, can you watch them suffer in front of you?"

"You dare?" A trace of fear flashed in Zhu Shaoqing's eyes. "I heard that before the late emperor passed away, he doted on the prince the most. He often said that although the prince was young, he was an open-minded person. I believe that someone as open-minded as the prince would never lay a hand on women and children."

Cui Hongjing's mouth twitched, but he showed no expression. He called the jailer over and said, "Beat him again until he begs for mercy."

Zhu Shaoqing raised his head, looked directly at Cui Hongjing, and sneered, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't do what you want. Even if you cut me into pieces, you can only get such an answer from me."

Cui Hongjing's fingertips tapping on the armrest suddenly stopped.

He stared at Zhu Shaoqing motionlessly, the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly.

He walked out of the cell.

Behind him, the blows from the whip seemed to be hitting his heart.

Zhu Shaoqing's muffled groan of pain, which he tried hard to suppress, seemed to be tearing his heart apart, tearing it into a bloody mess.

He straightened his back and walked out of the Ministry of Justice prison with a resolute look on his face.

The moment he stepped into the palace and the door closed behind him, he could no longer hold on and fell headfirst.

"Your Highness!" Zhuang Xiang was shocked and held him tightly.

Cui Hongjing bent his body, gasping for breath, his eyes full of bloodshot, but his tone was extremely firm, "This king, I must save him..."

Zhuang Xiang nodded heavily, "I know that Your Highness feels guilty. However, if you save Zhu Shaoqing, Your Highness will definitely be caught by the Emperor. The Emperor is waiting for Your Highness to save him!"

"I know that the princess has a drug that can make a person appear dead." Cui Hongjing looked at Zhuang Xiang, "Didn't you find her already?"

"But the princess has too much resentment towards the prince. I am worried that she will not help."

Cui Hongjing shook his head gently. "Tell her that it's for saving a life, to save the life of an extremely loyal person. She will give it to her. She is a doctor and has a kind nature. She will definitely give it to her. If she really doesn't want to, give her the divorce letter in exchange."

"But Your Majesty?..."

"Go, go quickly!"

Zhuang Xiang sighed, "Okay, I'll go ask the princess for medicine right away!"

Mei Xueer was dictating to Wen Jia to copy "Journey to the West" in the Happy Casino. When she heard that Zhuang Xiang suddenly came to her house, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Is the Dog Prince going to kidnap me and take me back to the palace?

Bah, I'm not going back!

I finally got my freedom, and I would never go back.

Even if the Dog Prince himself came with a sedan chair carried by eight people to beg me to go back, I would never go back.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xiang did not come to lift her up, but to beg her.

Mei Xueer sneered: "No! The person that the Dog Prince wants to save is definitely not a good person... But, I am a doctor, even if it is a dog, I will definitely not watch it die. Deal!"

She smiled and carefully examined the divorce book in her hand, "Nanxing, give me the medicine!"

It took her a long time to come out of the sudden joy.

After the joy, there is sadness.

Goudan sighed deeply: [Since the moment you came into this world, haven't you dreamed of getting this divorce letter? But I see that you don't look happy at the moment.]

Mei Xueer: [Yes, in order to get a divorce, I have endured humiliation, fought, and compromised. I even thought that if a divorce is really impossible, being divorced by the dog prince and becoming an abandoned wife would also be acceptable.]

Goudan: [But when the divorce letter was actually placed in front of you, you were not as excited as you expected. Why is that? ]

Mei Xueer shook her head: [I don't know. In fact, I once imagined living a good life with him, and I had given it all. But that bastard used me to clear himself, and even tried to kill me when the opportunity arose, killing two birds with one stone. This is far beyond my bottom line. I will never allow myself to live with such a black-bellied devil who will do anything to achieve his goal.]

Goudan: [I understand what you said. So you should think about why you are not as excited as you expected.]

Mei Xueer: [Bullshit! Who said I’m unhappy? I’m extremely happy now.]

Goudan: […Alas…]

Seeing that she was about to cry, Wen Jia said in a bad tone: "What does the prince mean?"

"I dare not speculate on the prince's thoughts." Zhuang Xiang turned to look at Mei Xueer and said softly: "Perhaps, he did this for the good of the princess."

"Don't say it's for my own good. This is just another deal." Mei Xue'er's expression changed slightly. "I heard that after Zhu Shaoqing of the Dali Temple helped Wei Tianjie escape from prison, he was imprisoned. These days, the prince is trying him..."

Zhuang Xiang was slightly startled, and immediately said, "The prince did not say what this medicine is used for, Princess, please do not make any assumptions."

"Is this really just my guess?"

"Well, Princess, your speculation is groundless. Besides, you have already divorced, so there is no need to continue to dwell on these things, lest the consequences will affect the Prime Minister's Mansion." Zhuang Xiang reminded kindly.

"Is this a threat?" Mei Xueer sneered.

"I dare not. Princess, you should understand that this is also for the good of you and the Prime Minister."

Mei Xueer: "Okay, I understand! But please go back and tell your prince, don't think that we can go our separate ways just because we are divorced. The dirty things he did to me will not be forgotten so easily. One day, I will make him pay the price."

Zhuang Xiang didn't say much. He got the medicine and left in a hurry.

When leaving, he contributed another 30 points of gratitude to Mei Xueer.

Seeing Zhuang Xiang coming and leaving in a hurry, Deacon Wan immediately ran to Gu Jia and said, "This man is Zhuang Xiang, the personal guard beside Prince Jing. The two people in Miss Mei's room are secret guards. I didn't dare to get close to them for fear of being discovered by them. So, I don't know what they said."

"The couple had a quarrel and ran away from home. Haha, Princess Jing has a really bad temper!" Gu Jia tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Not necessarily, I must be overthinking it..."

Deacon Wan: Boss, you are always suspicious...
