As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

The air in the cell was damp, cold, and smelled of mold.

Jiang Yue curled up on the straw pile, scenes flashing through her mind like a kaleidoscope.

The forged evidence by Mr. Zhao, the false accusation by Mr. Liu, the scheme by Mr. Sun... every detail appeared clearly before his eyes.

She punched the cold wall hard and cursed, "I'm so stupid!"

She had always thought that with her past life's experience and medical skills, she could easily deal with these ancient conspiracies and tricks.

But she was wrong, she underestimated the viciousness and cunning of these people.

She was too eager to achieve success and solve problems quickly, but she fell into traps again and again.

"Miss, don't be like this..." Qiu'er looked at Jiang Yue's red and swollen back of the hand with heartache and rubbed it gently.

Jiang Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She couldn't be defeated like this. She still had a lot of things to do.

At this time, the cell door opened and Ding Chen and Xuanyuan Che walked in.

Seeing Jiang Yue, Ding Chen quickly stepped forward and gently embraced her in his arms.

"It's okay, it's okay..." He repeated it over and over again, as if he wanted to pour all his comfort into this hug.

Jiang Yue leaned in Ding Chen's arms, feeling the warmth coming from him, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

"I've found some clues," Xuanyuan Che's voice broke the silence in the cell, "The person who framed you is related to Mu Yang."

When Jiang Yue heard the word "Mu Yang", her body suddenly stiffened.

"I will continue to investigate and will definitely clear your name." Xuanyuan Che said in a firm tone.

Coming out of Ding Chen's arms, Jiang Yue looked at Xuanyuan Che, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Xuanyuan."

"Qiu'er thinks that we should appeal directly to the emperor..." Qiu'er suddenly spoke.

"No!" Xuanyuan Che interrupted her immediately, "This matter involves many people. If we report it rashly, it might alert the enemy..."

"But……"

"Believe me," Xuanyuan Che looked at Jiang Yue, "I have a way..." He paused and lowered his voice, "Take you out..."

The air in the cell was suffocatingly heavy.

Qiu'er paced back and forth anxiously, her hands tightly twisted together.

"Miss, we can't just sit there and wait for death! We should appeal directly to the Jingzhao Yin, or even the Emperor!"

Xuanyuan Che's brows were tightly knitted together, his tone was calm but with an unquestionable firmness.

"This matter has far-reaching implications. Reporting it hastily will only alert the perpetrators, giving them the opportunity to destroy evidence and even further harm Miss Jiang." He paused, his eyes scanning the cell sharply. "What's more, the Jingzhao Yin has already been bribed by Mu Yang. What's the point of reporting it?"

"But..." Qiu'er wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue remained silent, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something.

Xuanyuan Che's words shocked her heart, and she realized that her previous thoughts were too naive.

Mu Yang's power is far greater than she imagined, and a head-on confrontation will only put her in a more dangerous situation.

Suddenly, Jiang Yue raised her head, a gleam in her eyes. "I have an idea!" She said firmly, with a hint of excitement.

Ding Chen and Qiu'er looked at her at the same time, their eyes full of anticipation.

"We can use my medical skills." Jiang Yue said slowly, "There are many dignitaries in the capital, and many of them suffer from stubborn diseases. If I can cure their illnesses, I can gain their support. Then..." She paused, a confident smile on her lips, "Even if Mu Yang is a prince, he can't touch me!"

This thought excited Jiang Yue herself. She seemed to see a ray of hope, a chance to fight back.

"This is indeed a good idea!" Ding Chen's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.

He held Jiang Yue's hand and gave her support and encouragement.

"I believe you can do it!"

Qiu'er also stopped pacing, hope in her eyes. "Miss, I will go and find out which dignitaries need medical treatment."

Xuanyuan Che looked at Jiang Yue, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

This seemingly weak woman actually has enormous energy and wisdom in her heart.

He nodded and said in a deep voice: "I will assist you secretly."

Jiang Yue took a deep breath, his eyes determined.

"There is no time to lose, let's start now." She looked at Xuanyuan Che, "Brother Xuanyuan, can you help me..." She lowered her voice and made her request.

The iron door of the cell was quietly opened under Xuanyuan Che's arrangement, and Jiang Yue, Ding Chen and Qiu'er breathed the air of freedom again.

The darkness of night obscured their whereabouts.

"Miss, where are we going now?" Qiu'er asked softly, looking around vigilantly.

Jiang Yue pulled her cloak closer. The night breeze was cool, but it couldn't blow away the anxiety in her heart.

"Let's go back home first. We need to make a long-term plan." Implementing this plan is much more difficult than imagined. Mu Yang's power is intertwined and complex. If we are not careful, we will lose everything.

After returning to the Jiang Mansion, the three of them immediately gathered in the study.

Under the dim light, Jiang Yue circled several important mansions on the map.

"These are all powerful officials in the capital who have no obvious connection with Mu Yang. Their illness is our opportunity."

Ding Chen frowned, tapping his fingers lightly on the map. "But how do we find out what disease they have? And how do we get close to them?"

"Getting information is my forte." Qiu'er puffed out her chest confidently, "Don't worry, young lady. Within three days, I will be able to find out the situation of these mansions."

Jiang Yue nodded and his eyes fell on a place marked "Liu Mansion" on the map.

"Imperial Physician Liu is highly skilled and deeply trusted by the royal family. If I could gain his support..."

"Doctor Liu is an upright person and should not be in cahoots with Mu Yang." Xuanyuan Che's voice suddenly came from outside the door. He had arrived at the door of the study without knowing when.

"I heard that Doctor Liu's mother is bedridden and hasn't recovered. Perhaps this could be a breakthrough."

Jiang Yue's eyes lit up. This was indeed a great opportunity.

If he could cure Doctor Liu's mother, he would gain his favor and trust, and even get his help.

"There is no time to lose. I will visit Liu's residence in person tomorrow." Jiang Yue said in a firm tone, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

However, just as they were discussing their plan, a dark shadow quietly lurked on the high wall outside Jiang Mansion and heard their conversation clearly.

The black shadow showed a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, turned around and disappeared into the night!

The next morning, Jiang Yue made careful preparations and took Qiu'er to Liu's house.

The carriage was moving slowly on the street. Jiang Yue lifted the curtain and saw a familiar figure wandering near Liu's house.

That was Master Zhao’s confidant, the one who framed her in the restaurant last time!

He looked furtive and obviously had bad intentions.

Jiang Yue's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

She whispered to Qiu'er, "Be careful, things may not be that simple..." Before she finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from afar!
