Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

When Yu Piaolan opened her eyes again, the dead Xiao Chunniang in the lobby had been carried out by people sent by Lin Suzhi.

Lin Suzhi's face turned pale and blue. "Master Ji is satisfied! You forced a woman to death! Although Xiao Chunniang is a criminal, she will be punished according to the laws of Dasheng. Since you are so aggressive, I will report the truth to His Majesty!"

Ji Chen was already feeling unlucky, and upon hearing this, he flew into a rage: "Master Lin, this is clearly the fault of that sinful woman, how can you blame me! I will report the truth to His Majesty!"

Lin Suzhi lost his patience: "Let's stop here today! Something like this happened..."

"Wait!" Ji Chen continued to shout, "Even if what Xiao Chunniang said is true, and Yu Shi didn't intentionally harbor a criminal, she is a fugitive from the women's prison. This is an unchangeable fact! Lord Lin, are you going to turn a blind eye?"

"You!" Lin Suzhi glared at Ji Chen angrily. The two of them stared at each other without giving in, and neither of them was willing to step back.

Yu Piaolan suddenly calmed down. She slowly broke free from Leng Qujing's hand and said, "General, I want to ask you for a favor."

Leng Qujing looked straight at Yu Piaolan: "You say!"

Yu Piaolan said word by word: "General, please divorce me!"

Leng Qujing was startled, but then he heard Yu Piaolan say again: "General, you are a pillar of the country and a close minister to His Majesty. There is no need to tarnish your reputation for someone like me."

Leng Qujing's handsome face darkened: "Stop talking, follow me now! I'll see who dares to stop me!"

Ji Chen immediately said, "Alright! General Leng, do you still take the laws of Dasheng seriously? Do you still take His Majesty seriously?"

Leng Qujing shouted angrily, "I will report this to His Majesty! I am a great warrior, and I don't believe I can't save a woman!"

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and remained silent. Lin Suzhi's heart suddenly sank. If Leng Qujing really took Yu Piaolan away from here, the court would probably explode tomorrow! Countless attacks would be launched against Leng Qujing, and his military power would be in jeopardy! Who knows what kind of chaos would ensue!

Lin Suzhi was about to speak when Yu Piaolan broke free from Leng Qujing's grip again: "General! Do you know what kind of person I am?"

"Stop talking, I'll take you away!"

Yu Piaolan took two steps back: "No! I want to say! General, General Leng! You are just someone I had no choice but to commit myself to. I just used you to get out of my predicament!"

"That's enough! Stop talking!"

"I want to say it! I just escaped from the women's prison! So what? I never thought it was my fault! I—Yu Piaolan—was not wrong! It's the world's fault!"

Yu Piaolan finally expressed her innermost thoughts. Leng Qujing was shocked by what she said and was stunned for a moment.

Even Lin Suzhi and Ji Chen were stunned for a moment.

Yu Piaolan looked at Leng Qujing steadily. "I had already been freed, but was framed by my future mother-in-law and imprisoned in the women's prison. General, do you know how I escaped? I begged the jailer who was guarding me to feed me the debilitating medicine a few days later, and I gave my body to him!"

Leng Qujing's eyes suddenly turned blood red.

"That's why I had the chance to escape. Halfway through, the prison van carrying us had an accident and fell off a cliff. Several people in the van with me were unable to escape due to the drugs they had taken, so I was the only one who jumped out of the van. I got another chance to walk in the sunshine. And then—I met you!"

"I, Yu Piaolan, am just a female prisoner. It's not worth it for a woman like me! General, I'm just using you. You can divorce me now! You are a famous general, but I am just a female prisoner!"

Yu Piaolan stared straight at Leng Qujing, waiting for the final judgment. In this courtroom, she analyzed her most shameful past, stabbing a knife into the heart of the person she cared about most, thus severing the friendship and past between them. This way, she wouldn't be a burden to him anymore!

Leng Qujing was terrifyingly calm at this moment, "And then? What do you want to do?"

Leng Qujing approached Yu Piaolan and whispered something in her ear. Yu Piaolan was stunned for a moment and just stared at Leng Qujing blankly. She could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.

Leng Qujing said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you are going to do, do you know what I think? As long as you say it's not your fault, I will take you away! Whatever consequences there are, I will bear them with you. I will never let go of your hand!"

Yu Piaolan trembled all over: "It's not worth it! It's not worth it!"

Lin Suzhi came back to his senses and bowed, "General Leng, I will definitely re-investigate the case of the female prisoner Yu. If Yu was wrongly accused, I will definitely clear her name! Please calm down, General. His Majesty has always valued you. You must not act impulsively!"

Yu Piaolan also regained consciousness. "General, I won't leave. Lord Lin, I was indeed wronged. A few years ago, I was engaged, but my future mother-in-law, dissatisfied with me as her future daughter-in-law, summoned me to her home and falsely accused me of stealing her property. She reported me to the police and had me arrested. My fiancé, Li Daxi, didn't come to rescue me. He listened to his mother and gave up on me, fearing that his mother would be accused of false accusations. We haven't seen each other since. Lord Lin can verify everything!"

Lin Suzhi nodded solemnly: "I will send someone to investigate immediately. If it is true, the identity of the female prisoner will be impossible to explain. However... although you had no intention of saving Xiao Chunniang, it is true that you were shielding the criminal. I can plead for you. You can return home in a few months at most."

Lin Suzhi turned to Leng Qujing and said, "General Leng, this is the best possible outcome. Tomorrow, you and I will meet the Emperor together. Please do not let down His Majesty and Mrs. Yu's painstaking efforts!"

Leng Qujing hesitated and couldn't help but hold Yu Piaolan's hand tightly.

Yu Piaolan held Leng Qujing's hand and said firmly, "Listen to Master Lin."

Leng Qujing nodded reluctantly.

The three of them exchanged several words without taking Ji Chen seriously. Ji Chen's face darkened, then reddened, then whitened again, a truly remarkable sight. After a moment, he snorted coldly, "I will also report this to His Majesty! Just wait!"

Leng Qujing didn't care about Ji Chen. He had a plan in mind and was ready to do it.

Before leaving, he was worried about Yu Piaolan: "Just bear with it for a few days and wait for me to take you home."

Yu Piaolan nodded. She looked at Leng Qujing's back as he turned and left, and suddenly said, "General!"

Leng Qujing turned around and looked back at Yu Piaolan with his dark eyes. His eyes were filled with Yu Piaolan's figure.

Yu Piaolan said softly, "General, don't just be busy. Remember to eat three meals a day and don't read documents too late. You won't be able to rest well."

Leng Qujing's cold and hard expression softened: "Okay, I remember everything!"
