The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

When Xiaoman returned with An'an and Runyue, it was already dark!

"Miss, let me do it! Why did you make so many dishes?" Xiaoman put down her package and took the plate from Jingxue's hand.

"A lot? You must be exhausted these past few days. How's business at the store?" Jingxue couldn't help but smile.

“That’s great! Quite a few people have already signed up for cards, Miss. We’re not so busy now, so I won’t go to the shop!” Xiaoman said.

Then he leaned close to Jingxue's ear and said, "Miss, the sanitary napkins are sold out, and some people have even paid a deposit! The face masks are selling well too!"

"Okay! You must be tired these past few days. Get some rest after dinner. I'll go check on the various shops tomorrow!"

……

That evening, just as Jingxue finished her bath and was about to enter her spatial dimension, she noticed someone entering the courtyard.

That scoundrel Ye Muchen!

What is he here for?

Afraid of disturbing Xiaoman and the three children, Jingxue opened the door and came out.

Ye Muchen, draped in a black cloak, stood tall and straight, his deep gaze fixed on Jingxue, a complex light flickering in his eyes.

Jingxue: Spit it out!

"Can we talk inside?" Ye Muchen asked.

What?

What should we say when we come in?

Seeing Jingxue's expression, Ye Muchen's brows furrowed again. "It's very important!"

Jingxue rolled her eyes, turned around and opened the door to let him go in first. Ye Muchen stepped into the main house.

After closing the door, Jingxue stood in the doorway with her arms crossed. "Can you talk now?"

Ye Muchen had his back to Jingxue, seemingly pondering what to say. After a moment, he turned around and said, "Your father has been escorted back to the capital today!"

Jingxue lowered her arm, stretched her neck, and asked again to confirm, "What did you say? Escort?"

Ye Muchen nodded. "It was the fourth brother who went to Jizhou and escorted your whole family, along with the servants, back to the capital."

"In your father's mansion in Jizhou, there is a secret room. The groom in the mansion accidentally discovered it under the stable. Inside, there is a dragon robe!"

"It just so happened that General Xue Mingju was ordered to patrol the border. The groom reported this matter to Xue Mingju. Xue Mingju did not dare to make a decision on his own and sent an urgent message back to the capital to ask for instructions. The emperor sent the fourth prince to Jizhou, where he found the dragon robe on the spot, as well as some letters between the emperor and the Cangbei Kingdom!"

Jingxue remained silent, quickly processing the information in Ye Muchen's words.

Jizhou was a city ceded to Beiye after the Cangbei Kingdom was defeated in battle.

When Jing Zhiyuan was enfeoffed as king, he took the initiative to request a fiefdom, which consisted of two cities: Jizhou and Qingzhou.

The original inhabitants of Cangbei Kingdom in Jizhou City were few in number due to the war; after the defeat, the original inhabitants had all moved back to their own country.

When Jingzhi left, he only took 20,000 personal guards with him.

Jingxue searched the original owner's memories and found that during the three years in the fiefdom, Jing Zhiyuan spent most of his time leading people to build defensive fortifications.

Every time I see him, he looks travel-worn!

Did the original owner's father harbor rebellious intentions from the beginning? If so, why did he choose to do it after the country was stable? Wouldn't it have been easier to strike during times of war and chaos?

Seeing that Jingxue remained silent, Ye Muchen asked, "What are your plans? If you need my help with your father, I will do my duty without hesitation! After all, he is my father-in-law, and most importantly, I believe he wouldn't do such a thing!"

After a pause, Ye Muchen continued, "I estimate that this matter will be made public in the imperial court tomorrow!"

In fact, after transmigrating for so long, Jingxue never felt that the original owner still had any remnants, such as emotions. But now she felt that her heart was beating unusually fast!

"I...I know. Where are my father and mother being held?" Jingxue said through gritted teeth, trying to keep her heart from jumping out of her chest.

"The Ministry of Justice prison!" Ye Muchen replied.

"Thank you!"

"Jingxue, what do you want to do? Do you need my help?" Ye Muchen stepped forward.

Jingxue instinctively took a step back and shook her head. "I'm already very grateful! You, you should go back!"

Ye Muchen gave Jingxue a deep look, said nothing more, and left!

My heart is still pounding!

Jingxue pressed her hand down and said softly, "Don't worry! I'll help them!"

The original owner cared deeply about her family; otherwise, she wouldn't have endured all the grievances until her death!

Jingxue entered the space and saw the brocade box on the table.

Ah!

“Your family won’t die!” Jingxue muttered to herself.

Yes! With this get-out-of-jail-free card, his father, mother, and younger brother—that makes exactly three people!

Jingxue took out the night clothes and black cloak that Lixia had bought for her, and prepared some other things.

He headed straight for the Ministry of Justice!

Anjia watched the dark figure fly over the palace wall and then turned and went to Lingyun Pavilion.

Ye Muchen was sitting in his study, lost in thought, still wearing his cloak. He disliked Jing Zhiyuan, but he absolutely did not believe that Jing Zhiyuan harbored any rebellious intentions!

If Jing Zhiyuan had intended to rebel, why would he have risked his life to save his father back then? Moreover, they fought together against the enemy for many years, and Jing Zhiyuan was an upright and incorruptible man, utterly loyal to the court!

It's impossible no matter how you look at it!

"Your Highness!" came the voice of the soldier in dark armor from outside.

"Come in!"

An armored man entered, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort has left the residence!"

"She must have gone to the Ministry of Justice prison!"

"Your Highness, shall I go and protect the Princess?"

Ye Muchen glanced at him. "With her abilities, getting to the Ministry of Justice prison is no problem. However, let's follow her from a distance! Better safe than sorry. No rush, let her fly for a while first. It wouldn't be good if she discovered us if we got too close!"

"Yes, I understand!"

It was already quite chilly at night, and Jingxue couldn't remember what day of September it was!

The moon is exceptionally bright tonight, its pure light shining down on the earth and illuminating everything.

The trees outside the Ministry of Justice prison had lost most of their leaves, leaving only a few bare branches shivering in the cold wind.

Dressed in black, Jingxue, like a nimble black cat, leaped lightly onto the roof of the Ministry of Justice prison. She crouched down, cautiously observing the surroundings, while using her special ability to sense the aura and energy fluctuations around her.

The Ministry of Justice has several prison buildings, with the innermost ones housing serious offenders. There are quite a few soldiers patrolling and standing guard outside one of the cells, making it heavily guarded!

It turned out that the soldiers were changing shifts, and after a while, a group of soldiers left.

The cell was dimly lit, and three jailers were drinking. Not far away, through an iron gate, a man in gray clothes sat facing the wall, his messy hair hanging over his shoulders.

"Boss, what crime did Prince Jing commit?"

The jailer's surname was Lu, and he was a distant relative of Prime Minister Zou's wife. He was a big, burly man with a fierce appearance.

"Prince Jing? Do you think he'll still be a prince? How many people who come here ever leave alive? So, after you've eaten your fill, you all better serve him well. You're just idling around anyway! I'm going next door to check on his wife and kids, haha..."
