I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

The night is getting darker.

Under the control of the guards, the Chastity Hall fell into an eerie silence.

Su Luo gave the order: "Have everyone rest on time, turn off the lights in the usual order, and don't disturb those who shouldn't be disturbed."

The guards received the order and the lights were turned off one after another, leaving only a few necessary lights, and everything seemed to have returned to normal night.

In the dark, Xiao Heng had already lurked around the hall master's room with a team of elite soldiers, waiting with bated breath.

Time passes little by little.

The hour is approaching.

A stealthy figure, taking advantage of the sparse moonlight and the shadows in the corners, quietly crept to the door of the hall master's room.

The man pried open the door lock with skillful movements and slipped in.

It was the Taoist priest who had an affair with the hall master.

He walked towards the inner room with ease and familiarity, trying to whisper something.

However, what greeted him was not the usual warmth and kindness, but the hall master who was tied up, gagged, and with a look of fear in his eyes.

The Taoist priest was shocked and thought to himself, "Not good!"

He turned around suddenly and tried to escape.

But it's too late.

"Shuashuashua——"

Several dark shadows emerged from the darkness like ghosts, instantly blocking all escape routes.

Xiao Heng, who was in the lead, held a long sword in his hand. The tip of the sword shone coldly in the moonlight, and pointed steadily at the Taoist priest.

"Take it!"

At a command, the guards rushed forward. The Taoist priest only had time to let out a scream before he was pinned to the ground and tied up tightly.

Only the cold moonlight and a few necessary lights remained in the courtyard, illuminating the solemn figures of the guards.

Xiao Heng walked to Su Luo's side, and the night wind blew his ink-colored robe.

"Sister, leave this to me."

His voice was low, with a hint of unquestionable certainty.

"You go and rest first. I will interrogate these people and the Taoist priest overnight."

Su Luo nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping across the hall master's bedroom which had once again fallen into darkness, where a silent contest was taking place.

Her voice carried a hint of weariness, yet was still clear.

"The focus of the interrogation is to find out if they have any shady connections with Prime Minister Jiang."

"I suspect Jiang Yuanbai might be the Seventh Prince's man."

Xiao Heng's eyes moved slightly, and he instantly understood Su Luo's deep meaning.

The Jiang family abandoned their eldest daughter for ten years and ignored her. If it was just a fight in the harem, it would be too cruel.

If this involves factional struggles in the court, or even the ambitious Seventh Prince, then Jiang Li's existence is definitely not just that of an abandoned daughter.

"I understand."

Xiao Heng responded with a serious tone.

He turned around and walked towards the place where the prisoners were held with a murderous look on his face.

The night is still very long.

The next morning, the light of day filtered through the dilapidated window frames of the room, casting patches of light on the ground.

Jiang Li's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

What comes into view are the familiar yet unfamiliar beams, carrying the scent of old wood.

She moved her fingers, and a piercing pain instantly spread through her limbs, making her gasp.

But this little pain made her chaotic consciousness clearer a little.

She is still alive.

"Miss!"

Tong'er, who was standing by, immediately noticed the movement and came forward in surprise.

Her eyes were red and swollen, but her face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

"Miss, you're awake! How do you feel?"

Xue Fangfei also came over, her eyes full of concern.

Jiang Li looked at their worried faces, and her tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

it is true.

They were really rescued.

She opened her cracked lips and her voice was hoarse and weak.

"Who saved us?"

"It's Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang!"

Tong'er's voice was choked with sobs, filled with relief and gratitude for surviving the disaster.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess saved us and even treated you personally!"

Princess Zhaoyang...

Jiang Li silently recited this noble title in her heart and struggled to get up.

"I want to...go and thank His Highness in person."

Tong'er quickly held her down.

"My lady, you are seriously injured. Lady Su said you need to rest. His Highness is kind and will not blame you."

Jiang Li shook her head gently, her eyes revealing a stubbornness that was inconsistent with her age.

"How can I be rude to someone who saved my life?"

Su Luo was looking at the file in his hand in a side hall that had been temporarily cleared out. It contained part of the confession that Xiao Heng had interrogated overnight.

Song Lan walked in lightly and reported.

"Your Highness, Miss Jiang Li has woken up and is asking to see you outside."

Su Luo put down the file, raised his eyes and said, "Let them in."

A moment later, Jiang Li, supported by Tong'er and Xue Fangfei, moved in step by step.

She changed into a clean, plain dress. Although her face was still as pale as paper and her body was so thin that it seemed like she could be blown down by a gust of wind, her eyes were unusually bright, with a kind of calmness that had settled down.

The three of them walked up to Su Luo and saluted solemnly.

"Your humble servant Jiang Li (Tong'er/Xue Fangfei) bows in gratitude to Her Royal Highness the Princess for saving my life."

Su Luo raised his hand and motioned for them to stand up.

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

She offered him a seat and looked at Jiang Li with scrutiny.

"Jiang Li, I want to ask you, ten years ago, you were sent to the Chaste Maiden Hall on the charge of attempting to murder your younger brother at the tender age of eight, and causing your pregnant stepmother, Ji, to miscarry due to fear. Is this true?"

Su Luo's voice was calm, but it carried an invisible pressure.

Jiang Li's body trembled almost imperceptibly when she heard this.

She raised her head and looked straight at Su Luo. There was no evasion in her eyes, only endless sadness and grievance.

"Your Highness, this is absolutely not true!"

Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear, carrying with it the accusation of blood and tears.

"What happened back then was orchestrated by my stepmother, Ji! I never intended to murder my younger brother, and I certainly never pushed her!"

"But at that time, my words were insignificant and no one would believe what a child like me said. Father...father only believed Ji Shi."

After ten years of injustice and ten years of imprisonment, Jiang Li finally had someone to confide in, and it was such a distinguished person. She was a little excited and her eyes turned red instantly.

Su Luo listened quietly, his face calm.

Of course she knew that Jiang Li was wronged.

She waited until Jiang Li calmed down a little before speaking again, her voice still calm.

"So, do you want to return to the Jiang family and clear your name?"

Jiang Li raised her head suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then was replaced by great surprise and desire.

Go back to the Jiang family?

Correct the name?

This was something she had been thinking about day and night for the past ten years, but she had never dared to hope for!

Her Royal Highness, the Princess, what she meant was...

Jiang Li was very smart and immediately understood the hidden meaning in Su Luo's words.

Without any hesitation, she struggled to slide down from the chair again, fell heavily to her knees, and rested her forehead on the cold ground.

"The sinful girl begs Your Highness for help!"

"I am willing to return to the Jiang family and wash away this overwhelming injustice! Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I am willing to give it a try!"

Su Luo looked at her thin back, which was trembling slightly with excitement.

"Your body..."

Jiang Li raised her head, and a resolute light bloomed on her pale face.

"Your Highness, if I have the opportunity to clear my name, I would be willing to let Li'er die immediately!"

This kind of ruthlessness is just to her liking.

Su Luo's eyes turned slightly and fell on Xue Fangfei next to him.

"Xue Fangfei."

Xue Fangfei immediately responded: "I'm here."

"Have you thought about how to take revenge?"
