Yu Piaolan was alone in a clean cell. She looked up quietly at the half-foot light coming through the narrow skylight.

Who had once told her that the sun loves her? Look, isn't it chasing her? That was the young Concubine Yi. She was the eldest daughter of the Lan family. After Miss Lan saved a dozen of them, she arranged for them to enter a charity institution and found them jobs to support themselves. Miss Lan said at the time, "I only have these abilities. I can only do this for you. You have to walk your own path in the future!"

Back then, I blamed the heavens and the earth, my parents for being so cruel, myself for being a girl, and myself for being so unlucky. Although I was rescued and no longer caged, I was afraid to return home. My household registration was bought and moved out. From then on, I really had to rely on myself.

Perhaps Miss Lan saw through my negative emotions and offered to take me for a run on the grass. I couldn't refuse, so I ran on the grass with a puzzled look on my face.

When they stopped for the first time, Miss Lan asked her to look up at the sky: "Look at what's in the sky?"

"There is the sun." Yu Piaoran answered at that time.

When she stopped for the second time, Miss Lan asked her to look at the sky again, and she said, "There is the sun." Until the third time, "There is still the sun. No matter how far or how fast I run, the sun always follows me!"

"And the sun likes you. Look, isn't it chasing you?"

Yes, there was still the sun to shine on her and warm her. She finally got through those most difficult days. No matter how difficult the days were, she never gave up on herself again! But now...

Leng Qujing whispered in her ear in the hall at that time: "When I first saw you, I knew what you had been through. When I took you into the mansion, I knew you were not a virgin!"

But Leng Qujing treated me so sincerely, how could I drag him down, causing him to suffer humiliation because of me and be laughed at by others?

Yu Piaolan looked at the half-foot skylight, tears falling drop by drop. She thought of every little thing since they met, and gradually broke down in tears: "I'm sorry! I have to leave first. I am luckier than Xiao Chunniang. She chose death out of despair, but I am the opposite. It is because of your trust and love that I have the courage."

Your love gives me courage and armor, and I want to protect you too!

"Don't blame me, just let me use my death to protect you! It's my great fortune to have met you in this life!"

After hearing Qiulan's report, Lan Qingwu in Suowu Palace couldn't help but lament Xiao Chunniang's fate and choice. She sighed softly, "I hope everything goes well! By the way, how are the mother and son doing?"

Qiulan added, "Li Daxi is living in extreme hardship. Li Daxi's mother...had long ago been retaliated against by Sister Piaolan, and was also imprisoned in the women's prison."

After saying this, Qiulan lowered her head deeply, as if she didn't dare to look up at Lan Qingwu.

Lan Qingwu was stunned for a moment. "That's just Yu Piaolan's personality. She'll take revenge when she has a grudge, and repay kindness when she has a favor! She's got a strong personality, but she's also very extreme. As far as I know, it was her suggestion that you guys change your names."

Qiulan nodded: "Yes, Master."

"Okay, go down and have a good rest!"

Qiulan looked at Lan Qingwu's exhausted face and asked, "Master, are you still checking the laws and regulations for Sister Piaolan?"

Lan Qingwu frowned slightly and nodded. "Even if she's only sentenced to a few months, her crime of harboring a criminal is still quite serious, and she should still be sent to the women's prison. I need to find a special case. It would be best if she could just be put in solitary confinement instead of the women's prison. In just a few months, she can be free again."

Ru Ping stepped forward and said, "Master, I know something..."

"you know?"

Ru Ping nodded. "In the past, for the sake of... convenience, I specially studied the laws and regulations of Da Sheng. As long as a woman is pregnant, she will be treated favorably. Even if she commits a crime, she will not be imprisoned until she gives birth."

Lan Qingwu's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea!"

Qiulan said worriedly, "But... Sister Piaolan isn't pregnant! And as far as I know, Sister Piaolan's body has been damaged—it's not easy for her to get pregnant."

Lan Qingwu was stunned for a moment, but immediately made up his mind: "No problem, let Nie Wushuang go and say that Yu Piaolan is pregnant. Wait for the verdict first, then think of other ways."

Qiulan also calmed down: "I will go find Doctor Nie right away!"

Lan Qingwu nodded: "You go now. Yu Piaolan's personality is so extreme! She will do whatever she says!"

Lan Qingwu's voice suddenly became lower and lower: "If there is revenge, then revenge is needed. If there is a favor... then repay... a favor?"

Lan Qingwu suddenly thought of something, and her eyes widened unconsciously: "No! No!"

Qiulan, Ruping, and Ruhan were all frightened. Ruhan hurriedly asked, "Master, what have you thought of?"

Lan Qingwu stood up suddenly. "Ruhan, go get Imperial Physician Nie and have him come to the Imperial City Government Office immediately. Qiulan, go out of the palace and find General Leng! If it's too late, your sister Piaolan won't be able to be saved!"

When Leng Qujing arrived at the cell, Nie Wushuang had also arrived. He was squatting beside Yu Piaolan, who was lying on the wooden bed. Yu Piaolan was already in a trance, her eyes half closed. She even felt that she was hallucinating for a moment, and in her trance, she seemed to see Leng Qujing.

Leng Qujing looked at the almost unconscious Yu Piaolan with bloodshot eyes. There was a pool of blood on her wrist.

Nie Wushuang was treating the bloody wound with an expressionless face: "Fortunately, it was discovered early. General Leng's concubine is also a hot-tempered person. She was afraid that I would die slowly, so she cut me several times!"

Leng Qujing knelt beside the wooden bed with a look of fear on his face: "How is it now?"

"Empress Yifei reminded me in time, and I arrived just in time too! I'm lucky!"

Leng Qujing breathed a sigh of relief: "Empress Yi has saved Piaolan's life again!"

Nie Wushuang added, "Prepare some tonics to replenish Qi and blood. She has lost a lot of vitality."

"Okay, I'll prepare. Is there anything else I should be aware of?"

Nie Wushuang bandaged the wound on his wrist neatly: "Let me take your pulse again!"

He reached out to hold Yu Piaolan's right wrist. After a few breaths, Nie Wushuang's eyes slowly widened. He frowned slightly, straightened his expression, and felt her pulse again: "This is..."

Leng Qujing asked worriedly, "How is it? Doctor Nie, is there anything wrong? Piaolan, are you awake?"

Yu Piaolan slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Is it the General?"

Leng Qujing said softly: "It's me, how do you feel?"

Qiulan, whose eyes were filled with tears, could not help but ask, "Sister Piaolan, why are you doing this? Have you forgotten how we survived?"

At this time, Nie Wushuang released his hand and said sternly, "You are already more than two months pregnant, and you have lost your energy and blood. If you don't take good care of yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the baby in your belly!"

Leng Qujing was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Qiulan glanced at Nie Wushuang and couldn't help but admire him. At this time, Nie Wushuang had not forgotten his master's words.
