After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

The eunuch beside the Queen Mother?

The jailer was trembling with fear at Yu En's identity, and became even more terrified: "Yes, yes, both of you please follow me."

As he said this, he led the two men into the cell.

The cell was damp and dark, with a slight smell of blood. As they walked past, the prisoners cried and howled, making a lot of noise.

The jailer and his men passed by the cell where the prisoners were held without looking around.

Suddenly, a voice full of doubt and disbelief rang out: "Yu En, Yu En..."

Yu En heard someone calling him and turned to look in the direction of the voice.

He saw two hands stretched out from a cell at the rear left, waving at him desperately. A head with disheveled hair was pressed against the railing, looking at Yu En with squinted eyes.

Yu En frowned, walked towards the man, and looked him up and down.

He had an untidy beard, looked dishevelled, and had unkempt hair and a dirty face. It was impossible to tell who he was.

"Me, Yu Jing, don't you remember? We were from the same village when we were little."

He really didn't expect to see an old acquaintance here. Although he was dressed like a eunuch, judging from the jailer's servile appearance, it was obvious that the master he followed was of high status. If he could take the opportunity to build a relationship with him, maybe his situation would turn around.

Yu En showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "So it's Master Yu."

Yu Jing thought Yu En recognized him, and he didn't hear the sarcasm in his "Master Yu". He just smiled and said, "What Master? I was framed and imprisoned. I'm not as glorious as you. Which palace are you working for now?"

"Master Yu, you must have recognized the wrong person. I am not from the same village as you."

Humph, you dog official, you are so bold as to plot against Prince Pingyang.

What's wrong with being from the same village? I can't help him.

Not to mention bullying him as a child.

How dare you try to get close to him? If he were a more ruthless eunuch, he would definitely take revenge on you.

Yu Jing stared at Yu En blankly: "But didn't you recognize me just now?"

"This... The incident of Prince Pingyang has been a hot topic recently. Yesterday, the woman took the initiative to confess and cleared Prince Pingyang's name. The instigator was none other than you, Lord Yu. Naturally, I have heard about it as well." Yu En said with a mocking tone.

A look of embarrassment and anger appeared on Yu Jing's face. He couldn't see that Yu En was deliberately pretending not to know him.

But a eunuch actually dared to laugh at me.

But Yu Jing did not dare to get angry, and quickly put on a flattering expression.

"That woman's words are inconsistent. How can I trust her? I was slandered."

Even if it was the eunuch whom he looked down upon, he could not offend him easily now.

Yu En rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Whether it is slander or not is up to Lord Han to investigate. I have no right to interfere. Lord Yu, please take care of yourself."

Having said that, he left without looking back.

"Eh? Yu En, Yu En, wait a minute..." Yu Jing called anxiously from behind, but Yu En turned a deaf ear.

The jailer looked at the nose with his eyes and the heart with his nose, and he had something in mind.

Well, no matter whether Eunuch Yu and Yu Jing are from the same hometown, at least Eunuch Yu does not have a good impression of Yu Jing.

Then they don't have to be afraid.

The jailer took Yu En and Qin's mother into a clean room, which seemed to be the resting place for the jailers on duty on weekdays.

"Please sit for a moment. Lu Xuan is imprisoned in the same cell with someone else. It may be inconvenient to question her. I will bring her over right away."

"Yeah!" Yu En nodded.

The jailer clasped his fists respectfully, then turned and left.

"Mother Qin, please sit down." Yu En said to Mother Qin with a smile.

"Please sit down, eunuch." Mother Qin said politely. She didn't dare to put on airs in front of the eunuch who was beside the empress dowager.

"Let's go together." Yu En said with a smile, "I think mother must have been ordered by the Princess to come and see Lu Xuan. I don't have anything to ask. The Queen Mother has ordered that everything should be done according to the Princess's wishes."

The implication was that the Princess could do whatever she wanted, and he was the one the Queen Mother had called in to support her.

Mother Qin was surprised for a moment, then nodded in understanding, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the Queen Mother really loved the Princess.

The fate between people is really magical. If the Queen Mother was grateful to the Princess of the County for saving her life, she could have rewarded her handsomely, but she chose to recognize the Princess of the County as her granddaughter and liked her more than the daughter of the Qin family.

Soon, Lu Xuan was brought into the room with her hands and feet shackled with iron chains. Then the jailer retreated and closed the door.

Lu Xuan glanced at Eunuch Qin, and then her eyes fell on Mother Qin. Her pupils shrank slightly, and then she rushed towards Mother Qin: "Are you here to take me away? I have already followed the instructions of the Princess. I don't want to stay here, take me out quickly."

Although she had only been locked up for a day and a night, Lu Xuan was about to collapse.

Everyone who was put in jail had committed a crime. The woman in the same cell was even more ferocious and vicious. Because she was new in the cell, they bullied her to their heart's content.

She was in pain all over, but no injuries were visible on the surface.

Mother Qin pulled Lu Xuan's hand away with a cold look in her eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Miss Lu, from the moment you decided to plot against the prince, you should have been prepared to be liquidated. Now this end is nothing but your own fault."

Lu Xuan staggered after being pushed. She looked at Mother Qin in disbelief and said sternly, "What do you mean? The Princess of the County clearly promised me that as long as I cleared up this matter, she would let the Prince take me in as his adopted daughter. Does she want to go back on her word? Where is the Princess of the County? I want to see her."

Mother Qin: "I came here today because the Princess ordered me to do so."

Lu Xuan gritted her teeth in anger. Suddenly, a desperate look appeared on her face: "You want to go back on your word? Aren't you afraid that I will change my statement?"

Mother Qin sneered when she heard this and said, "Miss Lu, you probably haven't realized your situation yet. Even if you change your testimony and say that my prince robbed you, who would believe you if your testimony is inconsistent? And you have repeatedly slandered the prince, which is an even greater crime. Do you want to shut up or continue to make trouble?"

"Are you threatening me?" Lu Xuan widened her eyes in horror and looked at Mother Qin.

"That's fine if you want to understand it this way. Since you took the initiative to confess and cleared my prince's name, the Pingyang Palace will no longer pursue the matter. You can be released after staying in this prison for a while. But if you continue to be unyielding, Miss Lu will have to consider your own weight and whether you have the ability to compete with the Pingyang Palace." Mother Qin said.

Lu Xuan bit her lip, her face full of unwillingness.

The duck in the mouth just flew away.

If she had known that Princess Mingjun was lying to her, she would never agree to anything. It would take time to make her die without leaving any trace. Before that, she might be able to win the heart of Prince Pingyang. By then, with his favor, no one in the palace would dare to touch her easily.

Now she is trapped in a cell, and the Prince Pingyang's Mansion has made it clear that they do not acknowledge her as their adopted daughter. The reason why this old woman came to threaten her must be that she is afraid that she will continue to pester Prince Pingyang and damage his reputation. Should she take a gamble?
