Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

After saying this, Rong Hui took Jiang Lige and others out of the yamen.

Behind him, Yuan Xing'an was stopped by Governor Bai, who forced him to write a letter of repentance.

Yuan Xing'an and his group of warriors were not pushovers either, and they immediately used "being forced to do so" as an excuse.

Magistrate Bai naturally couldn't bear this loss in vain, so the two sides started arguing. They put their hands on their hips and acted like shrews, unlike the adults who usually sit in the court...

The two sides were arguing fiercely. Mrs. Bai, surrounded by several servants, looked inside, curled her lips, and tactfully retreated.

"When the quarrel is over, come and talk to me."

Madam Bai gave a faint instruction to the yamen runner at the door, and then took the servants to where the carriage was parked.

At this time, someone was already waiting for her in the carriage.

Mrs. Bai got on the carriage and bowed slightly, "Princess Zhaohua."

Jiang Lige smiled and gave Madam Bai a helping hand, "Thanks to Madam Bai for your help today."

Madam Bai curled her lips in a forced smile, "You're too polite, Princess. If you hadn't helped me today, my master's career would have ended here."

Jiang Lige pretended not to understand the hidden meaning in Mrs. Bai's words and did not respond.

The "servants" who had just come out with Madam Bai have now taken off their outer robes, revealing their true faces. Aren't they Ning Yunxiao and his group?

Ning Yunxiao's face was pale, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face.

"I will do what you promised Madam."

Mrs. Bai's expression brightened slightly after hearing this. "I will talk to my master. We will fully cooperate with you while the prince is in Jingzhou."

"Thank you ma'am."

Mrs. Bai said no more. She nodded in greeting, got off the carriage, and went back into the yamen with the servants.

After Madam Bai left, Ning Yunxiao's guards also understood and withdrew, leaving only Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige in the carriage.

Only after everyone had left did Jiang Lige let out a long sigh, and his straight body slowly softened.

Ning Yunxiao curled his lips unconsciously upon seeing this and asked softly:

"Scared?"

Jiang Lige nodded honestly, but he was still frightened when he thought about what happened before.

"It's okay. You did a great job just now."

Ning Yunxiao patted Jiang Lige's shoulder in a comforting gesture, "If you hadn't seen the blood on Gufan's shoes, I'm afraid you wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily today."

Jiang Lige did not take credit for it, but praised it sincerely.

"It is even more rare that the prince remains fearless in the face of danger."

If Ning Yunxiao hadn't arrived in time and held her back, she would have almost rushed up to confront Yuan Xing'an!

An incense stick of time ago, when Yuan Xing'an's men blocked the door, they found that there were indeed Ning Yunxiao's men inside.

If they rushed in immediately, there was a high probability that they would catch Ning Yunxiao's men red-handed.

But their adherence to the rules gave Ning Yunxiao a chance to catch his breath.

Ning Yunxiao immediately found Mrs. Bai and explained the interests involved to her. He also revealed the news to Princess Ronghui.

Today, they were arrested in the yamen. Regardless of whether they had any relationship with Magistrate Bai, Yuan Xing'an would not let Magistrate Bai go easily.

There is only one way to save Prefect Bai——

Yuan Xing'an returned empty-handed.

Mrs. Bai was very familiar with the yamen, and she took Ning Yunxiao out through the secret passage to exchange the person.

Princess Rong Hui is not good at speaking, so Ning Yunxiao asked Jiang Lige to act out this big drama, which led to the scene where Jiang Lige was pulled back in time.

Jiang Lige was smart and quickly understood Ning Yunxiao's intention. He also found bloodstains on the edge of Ning Yunxiao's men's shoes, thus discovering the flaw in the plan.

There was a smell of blood in the room. Yuan Xing'an was a martial artist, so he must have been able to sense it.

The only thing that can't be questioned and tested is...

Women's menstruation.

The two of them quickly came up with a new strategy, and their cooperation was seamless, as if they had rehearsed it thousands of times.

Gu Fan, who was standing aside, was so shocked that he silently swore that he must respect the future Crown Prince's Consort in the future. This woman was as smart as his master. If he accidentally angered her, he might die without knowing how!

Ning Yunxiao and Jiang Lige finished praising each other, and the carriage was already halfway there when Jiang Lige suddenly remembered his doubts and leaned closer to ask Ning Yunxiao in a low voice.

"What did the prince promise Madam Bai?"

"Madam Bai's only son is an official in the capital. His position is not high, and he has many rivals. He needs someone to take care of him."

"If Magistrate Bai helps us investigate the case, he will definitely offend Yuan Xing'an."

The implication is, is it worthwhile to sacrifice father for son?

"Prefect Bai's term is coming to an end. After he finishes handling all the affairs in Jingzhou, he plans to pack up and go to the capital to spend his remaining years in peace."

"Oh!" Jiang Lige suddenly realized, "This deal is worth it!"

Ning Yunxiao responded calmly, "It's not a loss anyway."

Jiang Lige nodded, glanced at the light red color overflowing from Ning Yunxiao's sleeves, and frowned.

"Your injury..."

"Xuanying knows some medical skills and will take care of it for us."

Hearing this, Jiang Lige finally felt relieved, "Then you should cultivate yourself."

Ning Yunxiao nodded and said, "After I've dealt with it, I'll come find you tonight."

"it is good."

……

It was not until nightfall that Ning Yunxiao came alone. Seeing this, Jiang Lige sent the servants away and left only Gu Wangxian in the room.

Upon learning that Ning Yunxiao was injured, Gu Wangxian felt a little guilty and couldn't help but express some concern.

But it was obvious that Ning Yunxiao was a man without any understanding of romance, and his mind was completely focused on the unfinished matter at hand.

After just a few words, he got straight to the point and talked about the case.

As a woman, Jiang Lige's mind is always more delicate than Ning Yunxiao's. She took the initiative to hold Gu Wangxian's hand and told her what Ning Yunxiao had found out.

Gu Wangxian was stunned after hearing this. "Although General Yuan is a military commander, he acts cautiously. Now that he's been discovered, it will be even more difficult to investigate him in the future."

Jiang Lige agreed with this point deeply, but he couldn't think of any ideas for a moment, so he turned his head to look at Ning Yunxiao.

"What are your plans next, Prince?"

Ning Yunxiao pondered for a moment before speaking.

"As far as I know, garrisons in almost all places have the habit of raising soldiers."

"what?"

Before Gu Wangxian could even ask her questions, Jiang Lige's eyes lit up and he turned his head to ask her:

"Does Yuan Xing'an have a family?"

Gu Wangxian nodded honestly, "Yes, the general's wife, Mrs. Tang, comes from a merchant family and has a good way of dealing with people. It can be said that Tang has made an indelible contribution to Yuan Xing'an's current position."

Jiang Lige smiled like a mischievous little fox, "Being good at dancing is the best. Yuan Xing'an offended the princess today. Can't the Tang family do something to redeem him?"

Ning Yunxiao's lips curved slightly, "If I can't enter the military camp, it's good to meet the palace soldiers."

After hearing this, Wang Xian roughly understood what the two were planning. Just as he was about to ask, he saw two pairs of eyes focused on him. He choked and nodded.

"I'll take care of this."
