Li Qingluo was not at all surprised that Old Madam Jiang would die.

She thought of the bowl of medicine in Minister Jiang's hand and shook her head slightly.

"It's just my bad luck that I happened to run into the Jiang family's dirty deeds. I have told Jiang Qinniang everything I need to say."

"If she were smart, she wouldn't bother me."

However, just as he finished speaking, Nanny Zheng came hurriedly to report.

"Miss, a lady named Yang has come and wants to see you regarding something urgent."

Li Qingluo's forehead was twitching wildly.

She hadn't slept all night last night.

She was already dizzy and her head was spinning. Did Jiang Qinnan really come to find her?

Yet we cannot avoid it.

Li Qingluo had no choice but to let her in.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiniang knelt on the ground as soon as she saw her: "Madam Nangong, please save my father!"

"Only you can come forward to save my father, please!"

As Jiang Qinnan was about to kowtow, Li Qingluo quickly stepped forward and grabbed her.

"What are you doing?"

"What happened? Why was I able to save your father?"

"Seventh Young Master's wife kowtowed right up to me, which really embarrassed me. I'm just a merchant woman, and I don't have any extraordinary abilities. Even if something happened to your father, how could I save him?"

"Are you confused by your anxiety?"

Jiang Qinnan looked dazed.

But she quickly grabbed Li Qingluo tightly, her face full of pleading and certainty: "You said that it was my great uncle who went to see Grandmother last night with a bowl of prepared medicine."

"It's that bowl of medicine. It must be that bowl of medicine, right?"

"But last night after you left, my father also went to see my grandmother."

"He...he never came back."

"My grandmother was found dead just before dawn."

"And my father, he stayed in my grandmother's yard and didn't leave all night!"

"My father, even though he went to my grandmother to argue for me, he would never kill my mother!"

"You saw the truth, didn't you?"

"As long as you can come forward to prove this, my father will be innocent..."

The more Li Qingluo listened, the deeper his brows furrowed.

"Qiniang, are you confused?"

"How did I get to Jiang's house? I followed you in."

"Why should I go to the Jiang Mansion?"

"Originally, I was planning to do something to stop your grandmother from interfering in this matter."

"Although I didn't have the chance to do anything, I did go to the Jiang family secretly with ill intentions."

“Not to mention, I just suspected that there was something wrong with the bowl of medicine, and I have no definite evidence.”

"You're desperate and trying all sorts of methods. Are you planning to have me thrown into jail as well, and dragged into your Jiang family's mess?"

She went to testify, but in what capacity did she testify?

She couldn't testify at all, and she would be arrested immediately. Isn't this just confessing herself?

Li Qingluo naturally wouldn't get involved in this mess.

Even if Jiang Qinnan exposed herself, she had no evidence, so Li Qingluo was not worried that she would suddenly turn against him.

After hearing what Li Qingluo said, Jiang Qinnan was so shocked that she fell backwards.

Her husband's life or death is unknown.

Her father was also wrongly accused of matricide and was unable to prove himself.

She only felt darkness before her eyes and almost fainted on the spot.

Li Qing fell over and grabbed her by the palm of his hand: "If you believe in your father's innocence, then cheer up."

"The first step is to hire a reliable coroner to find out the real cause of your grandmother's death!"

"If it's the medicine that's the problem, then your father would be innocent, right?"

Jiang Qinnan's eyes lit up.

It was as if I finally touched a ray of light in the darkness and found the direction.

She excitedly held Li Qingluo's hand tightly.

"I see."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Jiang Qinnan turned around and left in a hurry. Li Qingluo didn't even have time to mention Yang Qilang to her.

Forget it, if they can escape safely, Yang Qilang will naturally return home safely.

Jiang Qinnan finally has someone she can rely on.

However, Li Qingluo waited and waited for three days before Duan Rongshi finally returned home.

He also returned with an imperial edict granting him an official position.

He was dressed in the armor of a general of the Imperial Guard.

He appeared in front of Li Qingluo with a dignified and energetic look.

By the time the imperial edict was read, many rewards bestowed by the palace had been placed in the courtyard.

Although Li Qingluo was extremely curious, she pretended to be calm and thanked him. After everyone in the palace had left, she rushed over eagerly, "What on earth is going on?"

"I've been worried to death these past few days!"

"And you became the general of the Royal Guards!"

"Ashi, tell me quickly, what did you do again?"

Duan Rongshi was afraid that the armor would hurt her.

He pushed Li Qingluo away slightly, then just held her hand and said, "No hurry, let's go back to the room and talk slowly."

Under the command of Nanny Zheng, the reward items behind him were quickly moved into the warehouse.

Everyone closed the door.

Everyone was busy again inside and outside.

Duan Rongshi took Li Qingluo's hand and quickly returned to their Tangdi Residence.

He first took off his armor and took a hot bath.

Li Qingluo could no longer sit still.

I simply ran into the bathroom and pretended to rub his back.

"Ashi, tell me while I'm rubbing your back."

Duan Rongshi knew that she must have been extremely anxious staying at home these days.

The guilt in my heart grew deeper and deeper.

He turned around and raised his wet hand to gently stroke her already thin little face.

"Luo'er, thank you for waiting for me at home these days."

"Do you know how much I miss you?"

Li Qingluo couldn't help but move forward and kiss him hard.

"I know."

"Because I miss you so much, too."

"Ashi, I'm so glad you came back safely."

"I know Yang Jiulang returned home three days ago."

"But there's been no news from you."

"I sent Sha Yi into the palace to find out about you."

"But you seem to have disappeared. There is no one in the palace who represents you."

"Although I firmly believe that you will be fine, this feeling of anxiety is really too hard to bear."

"Next time, can you give me some news?"

Her eyes turned red with grievance.

Duan Rongshi kissed her eyes with heartache.

"it is good."

"It's my fault this time. Next time, I'll definitely pass the message back to you first."

"Don't you want to know how I became a Royal Guard?"

"Because these past few days, I accompanied Zong Zheng Langri to secretly visit the Zong Zheng family's imperial mausoleum!"

After entering the palace that day, the Emperor of Chu, who had already calmed down, recognized Duan Rongshi at a glance as the young man who had saved his life in the forest that day.

He was surprised.

"you again?"

"You really surprise me."

"I heard that you cut off Shangguan Zhong's head with your own hands?"

Duan Rongshi naturally had to pretend to be shocked.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know your identity that day and offended you."

The Emperor of Chu had an inexplicable liking for him.

Everyone in the world looks terrified when they see him.

Even his own children had unconcealable fear in their eyes.

Only he, even at this moment, could face himself calmly and fearlessly.

If he hides it well, that is also his ability.

The Emperor of Chu raised his lip and said, "Ignorance is not a crime. Stand up."

"I don't blame you."

"But you killed an official appointed by the imperial court. This matter cannot be let go! How do you plan to explain this to me?"
