Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

That night, Su Yujiao was summoned to the imperial study, and the emperor told her to go to the front line to treat the plague.

Su Yujiao took the opportunity to ask the emperor to pardon her elder brother. After all, the epidemic area was dangerous and she was very likely to have an accident.

Her parents are old, her eldest son is in jail, and her second son is missing. If she has another accident, her parents will not even have anyone to see her off to the grave.

She is just a woman, unlike men who have a broad mind, she just wants to take care of her own family.

Moreover, she had just given birth to a child, who was still in swaddling clothes. Both she and her husband were on the front line. If they both died for their country, the child would become an orphan without a father or a mother.

In the future, the children will be taken care of by their grandparents and uncle, so she can go to the battlefield with peace of mind.

Otherwise, she might not be able to concentrate on developing drugs to treat malaria.

The emperor felt somewhat guilty when he heard Su Yujiao's sincere request.

Su Yujing was made a scapegoat for the third brother. No one had mentioned it before, so he deliberately ignored it and pretended not to know.

Now, why not take this opportunity to release the person.

Su was also a smart man. Using filial piety as an excuse sounded reasonable, so he had no reason to refuse.

If she foolishly insisted on reinvestigating the corruption case and trying to overturn Su Yujing's verdict, he would never agree.

The emperor nodded and said, "I appreciate your filial piety and will grant your request."

"Wei Zhong, go and pass on the order to release them immediately."

Su Yujiao was stunned for a second. She didn't expect that it would really work, and they would release the person immediately instead of waiting for her to come back.

Eunuch Wei looked at Su Yujiao's stunned expression and couldn't help but remind her, "Su, why don't you thank me?"

Su Yujiao reacted and was so excited that she didn't know what to say. She kowtowed to express her gratitude and wanted to crawl on the ground.

The emperor looked at her reaction and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He liked to control the fate of others.

Just like now, the life and death of everyone depends on his thoughts. If he occasionally shows favor, he can gain the submission and admiration of his people.

"Go pick up your brother from prison."

"I'll go back to spend some time with my family tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

After coming out of the imperial study, Su Yujiao's body was still trembling. She had done it, she had done it through her own efforts.

Wei Zhong looked at her crying and laughing as she looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your elder brother is lucky to have a sister like you."

Su Yujiao wiped her tears and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, father-in-law."

"I am blessed to have my elder brother."

"Father-in-law, let's go."

"Yes."

When the two of them left the palace and walked to the grocery store, Su Yujiao asked the carriage to stop for a while.

She went to the grocery store to buy a copper basin and yellow paper, and then went to the clothing store next door to buy a decent crescent-colored brocade robe and an ancient and low-key green bamboo jade hairpin.

Eunuch Wei looked at her busying around with envy in his eyes.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"I heard that my father-in-law loves sweets. If I can come back from the battlefield, I will definitely make some snacks and come to thank you."

Wei Zhong looked at her with a smile: "Thank you very much, Madam."

"In the past, General Lu always brought a variety of breakfasts to Yingwu Palace, but it made me very greedy."

"I hope the young lady returns safely so I can taste her cooking skills."

Su Yujiao listened to Eunuch Wei's words with a dazed look on her face. She recalled the scene of getting up before dawn to cook, and it seemed like a lifetime ago.

She would never cook for Lu Ziqian again.

The carriage wobbled and finally arrived at the Ministry of Justice's prison.

Su Yujiao handed the package to Eunuch Wei and waited at the door.

Eunuch Wei went in to read the imperial edict. Su Yujing was in shock. Why did the emperor suddenly release him?

Eunuch Wei saw that he and Su Yujiao had the same reaction, and said with a smile: "Master Su, please accept the order."

"Eunuch Wei, I wonder why the emperor suddenly let me go?"

"You have a great sister."

"Your sister is still waiting at the door. She will tell you in a moment. I have to return to the palace to report, so I won't stay any longer."

After Eunuch Wei left, the jailer served Su Yujing a sumptuous meal as per custom.

She also told him to finish the meal and not leave any leftovers, symbolizing letting go of the past and starting over.

Afterwards, water for a bath was prepared for him. He had to take a bath and change clothes before being released from prison, which meant washing away bad luck and starting anew.

Su Yujing had no appetite and just wanted to see his sister as soon as possible.

But he still suppressed his excitement and finished all the food.

After bathing, he changed into the clothes that Su Yujiao had chosen for him. They seemed a little loose, but still couldn't hide his stunning looks.

"Let's go, don't look back."

"After returning home, jump over the fire basin and bathe in grapefruit water. Do not visit anyone else or say anything unlucky. Abstain from sex for seven days after returning home."

The jailer reminded him of some etiquette and customs for being released from prison.

Su Yujing walked out of the dark cell and was a little uncomfortable with the light outside. He subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.

When Su Yujiao saw her elder brother's emaciated figure, she instantly burst into tears.

"Brother!" She ran over and hugged Su Yujing's thin figure.

Su Yujing's eyes also turned red. He patted her head lovingly, and his gentle voice was choked with sobs: "You're already so old, and you're still crying."

"Brother, you're finally out. Mom and Dad will be very happy if they know."

"I didn't tell them ahead of time this time."

"This time it must be a surprise!"

As she spoke, she began to cry out of grievance. It had really not been easy along the way.

"Why did the Emperor suddenly release me from prison?"

"Brother, step over the fire basin first."

Su Yujiao pointed to the brazier that had been prepared long ago.

"Let's talk while we walk."

On the way, Su Yujiao said that she was going to the battlefield to treat the plague.

When Su Yujing learned that his sister had sacrificed so much to save him, his eyes instantly turned red.

He had never shed a tear despite all the humiliation and torture he suffered in prison, but now he was crying uncontrollably in the street.

"It's my brother who has implicated you."

"I will go and ask the Emperor to revoke his order. The epidemic area is dangerous, you must not take the risk."

Su Yujiao hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother, come back."

"You are not an official now. Can you see the emperor whenever you want?"

"What's more, whether I let you out or not, I have to go to the epidemic area. Even if you go, the emperor will not agree."

"Let's go, don't think too much. Since I dare to go, I am sure I can come back safely."

"I can't let go of my parents and you, and even less of my children."

"I will protect myself."

Su Yujing was surprised: "You have a child, how old is the child?"

"It's been three months. It eats and sleeps every day without crying or making a fuss. You must like it very much when you see it."

Su Yujing felt even more guilty when she learned that the child was only three months old.

The child is so young, but he is forced to be separated from his family because of him.

"Brother, don't think too much. I will take care of everything."
