My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

The prison in Dali Temple never sees sunlight all year round and is extremely damp and dark.

Su Muxi followed behind the jailer, secretly looking at the layout of the place.

She was not curious about the cause of Jiang Mingxuan's death. She just wanted to know whether the person next to Jiang Mingxuan was still in prison.

Some nosy prisoners, clinging to the door frame, looked nonchalant and laughed loudly, "Hey, look everyone! Here comes a beautiful woman."

The jailer knocked on the door frame with his sword and shouted, "Go back and stop shouting."

When she was questioning just now, she deliberately delayed time and An Yutang did not show up, which showed that someone had sent him away.

Sending An Yutang away and putting her in jail, what exactly does the mastermind behind this want to do?

Su Muxi tried to answer the jailer, "Brother, is Jiang Mingxuan the only one who died? Where are the others imprisoned?"

"I don't know," the jailer said, opening a cell door. "Master Su, please."

She was also given a single room. When Su Muxi walked in, the mottled walls were stained with blood, and dead grass was scattered all over the floor. There was almost no clean place to step.

She walked in nonchalantly, found a clean place and sat down. When the jailer saw her, he twitched his mouth, closed the door and went out to report.

Her cell was at the innermost part. She didn't see any servants around Jiang Mingxuan along the way. Maybe they were there to take care of her, so she was relatively quiet here and there were no prisoners around her.

What a bad idea! If I had known I was going to jail, I should have listened to Zhijuan and put on the cloak, Su Muxi muttered and closed her eyes. Someone asked her to join the game, so she had to cooperate.

Zhijuan was waiting outside the Dali Temple. When the gate was closed and the princess still didn't come out, she quickly grabbed the runner who was closing the door to inquire about the situation. When she got the news that she was detained, she was completely stunned. It was only when she realized that a beggar was asking for money that she reacted and ran back quickly.

Zhijuan ran very fast, and then stopped after a while. Who should she look for? Her son-in-law? Would he care about the princess if he did something like that?

This matter also involves Jiang Mingxuan. Could it be that all this was designed by the brother-in-law?

Zhijuan thought about it, ran back, pulled the beggar, gave him money, and asked him to go to the marquis's mansion to report the news.

She chose to go to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. It was most reliable to find someone from her own family at this time.

She ran to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion breathlessly, "Quick, quick, find Butler Erzhi, the princess has been imprisoned."

When Erzhi heard the news, he hurried out. After finding out the situation, he asked Zhijuan to return to the Marquis' Mansion first. If the beggar did not explain clearly, people would misunderstand the princess.

Zhijuan thought so too, and took the carriage prepared by Erzhi back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Erzhi saw the carriage leave, so he gathered his men to gather information, then took a horse and prepared to go look for Shizi An.

An Yutang was transferred to investigate a case outside the city. On the way, he met Erzhi who came to look for him. He learned that Su Muxi was imprisoned in the Dali Temple's prison, and hurried back.

He didn't even go back to the yamen and went straight to the prison. However, he was still a step too late. He saw the open prison and the Dali Temple Minister, his immediate superior, squatting on the ground.

"Where are the people? What's going on?"

Chang Xu saw An Yutang as if he had seen a savior, and did not care about the collar that he was holding. He just grabbed his arm and said, "Hurry, hurry, An Yutang, chase them. The thieves are holding Princess Anping hostage and running to the west."

In the west, An Yutang thought of the warhorse that had just passed by him, so he jumped on the horse and galloped away.

The man was obviously carrying someone under his black cloak, but he missed it because he was in a hurry.

If he catches up with her at this hour, she might have already left the city gate.

Su Muxi's skills acquired on the battlefield were slightly better than his, but she was completely unable to fight back. An Yutang was extremely scared. Su Muxi had clearly hinted to him that the person next to Jiang Mingxuan was in danger, but he simply locked the person up in the prison for serious criminals and did not take any precautions.

An Yutang blamed himself, felt guilty, and even regretted why he went to investigate the case in the afternoon. He drove the horse under him with all his strength, hoping that it would run faster.

Thirty miles outside the city, someone came to pick Su Muxi up and threw her into a carriage. The carriage was very luxurious, with soft cushions and pillows inside.

There were tea and snacks on the small table.

She leaned up, rested her head on the pillow, and said to the person sitting opposite her: "Seeing how cooperative I am, give me some tea! When you held me hostage, I hadn't even had dinner yet."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?"

"You have held me hostage. It is up to you whether I kill you or not, and it is up to me whether I starve or not."

"You used a killing move on me in the morning, but you cooperated with me in the evening. What the hell are you thinking?"

Su Muxi was stunned by the question, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It was you who held me hostage, why are you blaming me instead?"

The man in black choked and even wanted to throw the tea in his hand into her face.

Su Muxi didn't get to drink the water, so she simply closed her eyes and went to sleep.

With a bang, the teacup fell on the coffee table. The heavy sound reached her eardrums, and Su Muxi turned over and continued to sleep.

With her hands tied behind her back, Su Muxi felt very uncomfortable and moved her body.

This action seemed comfortable to the man in black. Who would be in this state if being held hostage? She was even afraid that he would be suspicious, so she even exposed her bound hands to let him know that she had no intention of resisting.

The man in black felt as if his breath was stuck in his chest, making him feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

After traveling for about another hour, they changed carriages, and the man in black changed his clothes and even his appearance.

Su Muxi lay numb, leaning against the car window, staring at his new look, "Is this real leather?"

The man in black, no, the handsome servant, twitched his lips stiffly, as if he was angry, threw a package to her, said "put it on", and got out of the carriage.

Su Muxi looked at the bag on her legs and found it interesting that the hostages received such treatment.

"How can I wear it with my hands still tied?"

As soon as the voice fell, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a little girl came in, "I am here to help the young lady get dressed."

Jiang Mingxuan's case was too strange. Even though someone reported twice that Su Muxi was in prison, Xiao Yunjin was not worried at all. He just speculated about her purpose.

Regarding the matter of Fu Sheng Restaurant, he arrived the latest, not because he received the news late, but because he could only know it later than others.

He always thought he was the manipulator, but he didn't expect that he became a chess piece on the board. The black-clad guards who fought with Su Muxi, Jiang Mingxuan's poisoning, and the dropped medicine bottle all proved that there was a pair of hands behind it.

He needed to verify who these hands belonged to. The sky was getting darker and night was about to fall.

He stood up and walked out, and Fu Rui followed him. He thought he was going to the Dali Temple to save his wife, but he didn't expect that they entered Prince Jin's Mansion.

He entered Prince Jin's mansion through the main gate openly.
