A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

Madam Wei also said, "Yes, I have treated Miss Xia as my own daughter for more than a year. We should never let her bear the blame again."

Wei Jinghe stepped forward to comfort Wei Zhiying and said, "Don't cry. My father and I will go to the palace to explain the truth. No matter what the punishment is, we will bear it. Please release Miss Xia, Your Majesty."

Wei Jinghe went to the front yard and told Chang'an to prepare the carriage, and went to the palace with his father.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wei and Young Master Wei are here." said Eunuch Liu.

"Humph, are you here to ask for forgiveness?" Emperor Ying put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Let them in."

Wei Mingcheng knelt down as soon as he came in, "I am guilty. I dare to ask the emperor to release Miss Xia. This matter has nothing to do with Miss Xia."

"Well, what crime have you committed? Tell me." Emperor Ying glanced at him.

"I knew what happened from the beginning. I arranged for Miss Xia to marry Prince Jing. It's all my fault. I didn't teach my daughter well and spoiled Ying'er too much." Then Wei Mingcheng arranged for Wei Zhiying and Xia Boqing to get married secretly, and the emperor arranged for her to be with Chu Xingluo. Wei Zhiying disagreed and eloped with Xia Boqing in the end. He asked Xia Taoyuan to pretend to be Wei Zhiying and marry Prince Jing.

Emperor Ying understood the whole story and said coldly: "Do you think I am a tyrannical tyrant? If you had made it clear at that time that Zhiying already had a lover, would I still force you to do it?"

Wei Mingcheng didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart: You didn't allow me to speak at that time and insisted on arranging a marriage between Zhiying and Prince Jing. How could I refute it?

Wei Jinghe spoke up: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This incident was caused by Zhiying and has nothing to do with Miss Xia. Please release Miss Xia. The Prime Minister's Mansion is willing to bear all the responsibilities!"

"Xia Taoyuan and Wei Zhiying look so similar. Where are they from? Who are they to you?" asked Emperor Ying.

This stumped Wei Mingcheng. He had no idea where Xia Taoyuan came from and he knew nothing about her background.

Wei Jinghe only knew that his sister went to the Guanyin Temple every day to pray for the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva, hoping to get through the difficult times, and then Xia Taoyuan suddenly appeared in the Xiangfu Garden. He did not know about Xia Taoyuan's past. However, to avoid trouble, he said that Xia Taoyuan was a distant relative who came to Xiangfu because of family problems a few years ago.

This made sense, so Emperor Ying did not ask any more questions. He just said, "I know. You can go back and wait for news!"

Wei Jinghe helped Wei Mingcheng up and left the imperial study. The emperor asked him to wait for news. What news? Did he not decide on the punishment? Would he punish him severely or lightly? He looked at Wei Mingcheng. This unknown but certain thing made him feel uneasy and uneasy.

Wei Mingcheng sighed and said, "Wait, the emperor will inform you when he has made up his mind." He had thought it through. If the emperor sentenced him for deceiving the emperor, not only would he be thrown into prison, but everyone in the prime minister's mansion would be implicated. He accepted the punishment. If the emperor gave him a light punishment because of his loyalty to the North Vietnam Kingdom, he would resign and return home.

Chu Xingluo was sent to Guanghan Palace. No matter how he begged, the guards at the door remained indifferent. He was worried about Xia Taoyuan, worried to death, because she was still pregnant with his child.

Thinking of the child, Chu Xingluo slapped himself hard. He had forgotten about this matter in a hurry in the Golden Palace just now. He walked to the door and said to a guard, "Brother, you can not release me, but please help me tell Eunuch Liu that Princess Jing is pregnant and cannot stay in the prison."

After hearing this, the guard also felt that this matter could not be neglected, so he went to tell Eunuch Liu, and Eunuch Liu informed Emperor Ying.

Emperor Ying snorted, "This guy can't even get out, and he's still thinking about the safety of his wife, and he actually made up such an excuse."

"What if this is true?" said Eunuch Liu.

"Really, Xia Taoyuan must be taught a lesson. I originally wanted to keep her in prison until September 8, the day before the enthronement ceremony. Since the third brother said she is pregnant, I will keep her in prison for three days to let her learn a lesson. You go and pick her up after three days." Emperor Ying waved his hand.

Eunuch Liu smiled and nodded in agreement.

The news of Xia Taoyuan pretending to be the daughter of the prime minister spread quickly. People in the streets and alleys of Yunjun City, teahouses and taverns were discussing it. Some people said that she was too bold. Of course, some people thought that Princess Jing was a role model. If you want a rich life, you should go for it boldly. Others thought that it was understandable to want wealth and glory, but you couldn't step on others to get to the top.

Nanzhu Mansion.

Mu Yun smiled and said, "The person you like is indeed extraordinary!"

Qi Nanfeng didn't say anything. He was very worried when he heard that Princess Jing was thrown into the Sky Prison.

"Don't worry, the emperor is very partial to Prince Jing. He will just scare him and won't torture him." Mu Yun comforted.

Looking at Qi Nanfeng's expression, Mu Yun knew that he had never listened to his previous advice to let go, and he simply couldn't let go.

Qi Nanfeng stared at the wine in his hand. He finally understood why the word "Tao Tao" was embroidered on her handkerchief. He was right. It was really related to her name. Xia Taoyuan, he liked this name from the bottom of his heart.

In the Shangshu Mansion, Fang Muyao sat by the bed with a sinister and cruel look in her eyes. She sneered, "No wonder I have disliked you for a long time. It turns out you are a fake! It turns out your name is Xia Taoyuan, ha! Bitch, you have come to this day. I told you not to fall into my hands, or I will make you wish you were dead but not alive!"

Fang Muyao was not idle. She wanted to torture Xia Taoyuan while she was in the prison. Of course, she couldn't do that in the prison. No one could torture her privately without the emperor's order. She had to find a way to get her out and send her back after torturing her.

Her father Fang Chong was the Minister of Justice. She often went in and out of the Ministry of Justice, and everyone there knew her. However, she could go in and out of the Ministry of Justice at will, but not everyone could enter the prison. The prison was full of traps, and ordinary people would surely die if they touched any of them. You must have a badge to pass through, and the badge is the key to the trap. The Minister of Justice has this badge, and only the warden of the prison in the Ministry of Justice has it. The jailers don't have it.

When the prison guards take over their shifts every day, the warden personally confirms that they are the real guards and opens the gates for them one by one. Once they are in, they cannot come out unless the next shift comes to take over.

Fang Muyao had to come up with a plan to get Xia Taoyuan out smoothly, so she decided to act at night. When her father came home in the evening, she could steal his badge. She couldn't do it by herself, so she decided to bring two servants. She asked the housekeeper to find two reliable servants, and the servants were naturally very happy to work for the eldest lady. She ordered the two servants to clean up the Fang family's small house in the south of the city, especially the cellar in the backyard, buy some ropes, buy more candles, put a few buckets of water in it, and buy her a whip.

She also knew that if this matter was discovered, both she and her father would be implicated, so she decided to trick Zhang Qianqian out with her. If the truth ever came to light, she would put the blame on that idiot Zhang Qianqian. Anyway, everyone in Yunjun City knew that Zhang Qianqian had once ruined Xia Taoyuan everywhere.

Everything was planned. She asked the maid to invite Zhang Qianqian, saying that she missed her very much after not seeing her for a long time and wanted her to stay at her house for a night to watch a good show. Zhang Qianqian knew that she was gloating over Xia Taoyuan's impersonation of Wei Zhiying, and she wanted to not go, but then she changed her mind and decided to see what the good show was.

In the evening, Fang Zhong came back. Fang Muyao went to pat his back, squeeze his shoulders, and said some words about his father's hard work, which made Fang Zhong very happy. During the meal, Fang Muyao poured wine for Fang Zhong. Fang Zhong was so happy that he drank two more glasses, but he didn't know that the wine was drugged. After drinking so much, it would probably be dawn when he woke up.

After settling her father down, Fang Muyao secretly took off the badge on Fang Zhong's waist. She took Zhang Qianqian and asked two servants to drive the carriage to the Ministry of Justice.
