Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Jiang Ningwan had never seen the emperor's wrath at this moment.

The emperor is ruthless and can change his mind at any time.

Although Xiao Lan was sweating profusely, he still wanted to plead, "Your Majesty, the Madam has no intention of harming you..."

"Anyone who pleads for mercy will be punished with the same crime!"

The sharp sound was extremely deafening. The room and the yard were completely silent, and no one dared to make a sound.

"Your Majesty, if I wanted to harm the King of Chu, why would I make such a big fuss? This is just a method of treating poison with poison! When the King of Chu wakes up, he will prove my innocence!"

Jiang Ningwan tried her best to defend herself.

But the angry emperor refused to listen and shouted, "Take him away!"

Seeing that his explanation was useless, Jiang Ningwan accepted his fate and was taken away by the guards and imprisoned in the sky prison.

……

The dark cell was filled with a damp and foul smell.

Jiang Ningwan walked into the cell and sat down against the wall after the door was locked. The only thing that worried her was Qin Shuangchi's health.

I don’t know when Qin Shuangchi will wake up.

Get her out.

And so she was locked up in the cell for three days.

No one came during this period.

In the Prince of Chu's mansion, Zhou Tingxu was ordered to take care of the Prince of Chu and stayed by his bedside every day.

Three days later, the King of Chu finally woke up.

Zhou Tingxu's eyes were red with excitement. "Your Highness, you finally woke up. It's worth it that I didn't sleep for a few days."

With Xiao Lan's support, Qin Shuangchi slowly sat up, subconsciously regulating his breathing, and found that the blocked meridians caused by taking the Nine-Turn Life-Essence Pill had been cleared.

"Why are you here?" Qin Shuangchi frowned slightly and brushed away Zhou Tingxu's hand that was extended to support him.

Zhou Tingxu lowered his head a little aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I've been taking care of you these past few days..."

"Jiang Ningwan bit you with a poisonous snake and nearly killed the prince. Fortunately, the imperial physician and I worked together to save the prince's life."

Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi's expression suddenly changed.

"Where's Jiang Ningwan?"

Xiao Lan said anxiously: "The emperor has imprisoned him in the sky prison!"

As soon as the words came out, Qin Shuangchi's face turned ugly, "Enter the palace!"

Zhou Tingxu was slightly startled. Was it her contribution to saving the King of Chu? She also had to enter the palace!

……

Royal study room.

The Queen brought the ginseng soup into the Imperial Study and asked, "Is the Emperor still worried about the Prince of Chu?"

The emperor rubbed his brows, feeling a little tired. "When my mother learned about Sixteen's situation, she was so worried that she fell ill. How can I not be worried?"

Hearing this, the Queen smiled and said, "Then Your Majesty can rest assured. I just heard Xu come and said that the King of Chu has woken up."

"I just entered the palace."

The emperor was shocked when he heard this, and was extremely surprised. "Really? He has entered the palace? Why hasn't he come yet?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Perhaps he went to Shouchun Palace to see the Queen Mother."

"I'll be relieved now that he's awake." The emperor looked much more relaxed and slowly took a sip of the ginseng soup.

At this time, the Queen took the opportunity to speak: "Tingxu has worked hard this time. When I saw her just now, her eyes were dark blue. She has been guarding the bedside to take care of the King of Chu and has not slept for several days."

"Her devotion to the King of Chu is truly rare."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully and praised, "This time it was all thanks to her. I heard that she and the imperial physician worked together to develop a prescription. Sixteenth brother is safe and sound and can return to the palace so quickly. This shows that this woman's medical skills are superb."

Hearing this praise, the Queen's eyes lit up, "Since the Emperor also praises it so much, then I will boldly ask for an imperial decree to grant Tingxu a marriage."

"It also fulfills her deep affection for the King of Chu."

The emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay..."

The queen was delighted.

But before he could be happy, Eunuch Hai suddenly walked into the imperial study and said, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Empress Dowager has gone to the Heavenly Prison."

"What? What was Queen Mother doing in a place like the Heavenly Prison?"

"The King of Chu... The King of Chu has locked himself up!"

……

Heaven Prison.

When Jiang Ningwan saw Qin Shuangchi appear, her heart finally settled down. "You're finally awake. How are you feeling?"

"No problem."

Qin Shuangchi frowned, entered the cell in a wheelchair, and then asked the jailer to lock the door.

The jailer was terrified, "Your Majesty, how dare I lock you up!"

"Lock it when the king says so!"

Qin Shuangchi's face was cold, and his sharp eyes carried a strong sense of oppression, making people dare not look directly at him.

The jailer broke out in a cold sweat and had no choice but to do as he was told and put on the chain, but he didn't dare to actually lock it up.

Jiang Ningwan looked at him in confusion, "What did you do wrong?"

"Why did you put yourself in a cell?"

Looking at Jiang Ningwan, who had been locked up for three days, with her hair slightly disheveled and looking a little disheveled, Qin Shuangchi was filled with anger.

"Husband and wife are one. If you are guilty, then I am also guilty."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was startled and her heart moved slightly.

Soon, the Queen Mother arrived outside the prison.

The jailers came forward one after another and knelt down to ask the King of Chu to leave the cell.

But Qin Shuangchi remained unmoved and maintained a firm attitude.

"The prison is a filthy place. Please go back, Queen Mother, and don't dirty your feet."

"I am a criminal, so I cannot go and pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

Seeing that the King of Chu refused to leave and the Queen Mother was waiting outside the prison, the guards and jailers knelt on the ground, not daring to stand up.

Outside the prison, the Queen Mother took a deep breath, her brows etched with anger. "He's quite responsible. I'll wait here for them to come out!"

The palace maids hurried to bring a chair, not daring to let the empress dowager stand for long.

"I won't sit down!"

The emperor who came hurriedly just happened to hear the empress dowager's angry voice.

"Mother, your health is very important. You can't stand for long!" The emperor came quickly and supported the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother's face was sullen, and her tone was sharp: "Who told you to put Jiang Ningwan in the Sky Prison?"

"Now Sixteen has locked himself in too! Even when I called him, he refused to come out!"

The Empress Dowager was rarely so angry. This angry question made the Emperor a little embarrassed. "Mother, please calm down. This must be a misunderstanding."

The emperor was also anxious at this moment.

The King of Chu made great contributions to the Daning Kingdom and was famous throughout the world, but now he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. If this were to get out, wouldn't people talk about him as a incompetent emperor?

He immediately gave the order: "Come here, Jiang Ningwan is innocent, release him immediately!"

"I have wronged her. Tell her and Sixteenth Brother to come out immediately!"

When the news reached the cell, Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold and he sat down slowly.

The jailer was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and almost knelt down in front of Jiang Ningwan. "Auntie, please take His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu out quickly."

Jiang Ningwan crossed her legs and said nonchalantly, "Since I didn't harm the King of Chu, then the people who framed me can't go unpunished, right?"

While the Queen Mother is here, we must get rid of this troublesome Zhou Tingxu.

The jailer went out to pass on the message.

Soon he came again, "The emperor said that he will give you justice. Don't keep the queen mother waiting for too long. Go out and talk to her later!"

Jiang Ningwan then pushed King Chu out of the cell.

After spending two days in a dim cell, as soon as I walked out of the prison, I was blinded by the bright light.

The two men stepped forward and saluted.

The Queen Mother held her hand distressedly and said, "You've lost weight."

The emperor looked at her solemnly, "Were you really treating the King of Chu that day? Using a poisonous snake?"

Jiang Ningwan looked at Qin Shuangchi and said, "Tell me yourself, am I treating you?"

"Yes!"

"Is it you who are willing for me to treat you in this way?"

"Yes!"
