Jingxue had been using her supernatural abilities to monitor her surroundings, and she had already spotted Ye Muchen and a man in black in the distance.

After leaving the prison, Jingxue pretended not to have noticed them and went straight back to the War King's Mansion.

Ye Muchen already knew that Jingxue had received a pardon today, but at the same time he also received a message from the fourth brother.

He returned to the manor as quickly as possible and told Jingxue that he knew Jingzhiyuan couldn't die with the pardon.

But for some reason, he always felt that if he used the pardon to save Jing Zhiyuan, it would be tantamount to acknowledging that Jing Zhiyuan was guilty, which would be an insult to Jing Zhiyuan.

Although he really hoped that Jingxue didn't have a get-out-of-jail-free card, that way, as long as he didn't agree to a divorce, Jingxue wouldn't be able to leave him, and they could have a long future together!

In the current situation, let's see if we can find evidence to exonerate Jing Zhiyuan!

He thought of the fourth prince, who was present at the time. Perhaps he could find a flaw in the clue. With that thought, he got up and left the palace.

Meanwhile, Jingxue sat blankly in the space, looking at the death-exemption token in front of her. She wondered if she could save the lives of Jing Zhiyuan's family and keep the death-exemption token at the same time!

too difficult!

In this era without surveillance or fingerprints, it is impossible to clear Jing Zhiyuan's name.

Moreover, no monarch can tolerate a minister with rebellious intentions!

Even if they aren't killed, they'll be exiled; such things usually involve the execution of nine generations of relatives!

Fortunately, Jing Zhiyuan was an orphan. During the war, his relatives either died or perished!

At this point, Li's relatives were probably powerless to help. Besides, with such a serious crime, those people might be afraid of being implicated!

Jingxue leaned back in her chair, looking up.

How to do it?

In the end, she actually slept through the night like that.

Jingxue only emerged from the space when Xiaoman knocked on the bedroom door.

Xiaoman brought in a wooden basin and, seeing Jingxue's appearance, asked in surprise, "Miss, didn't you sleep well?"

Looking at Xiaoman, Jingxue remembered that her and Lixia's relatives had also come back this time!

Ugh……

Jingxue didn't know how to tell her. After dinner, Jingxue took out several large packs of sanitary napkins and face masks and sent Xiaoman and Runyue to deliver them to the shop. They weren't heavy, and the two of them carried them without asking for a carriage.

Jingxue was in a state of confusion and couldn't do anything!

Standing by the window, An'an came over to her with her calligraphy and asked for guidance. Looking at An'an, Jingxue couldn't help but think that An'an and Jingze looked a little alike!

Shake your head. Do you still have time to think about these things?

An'an is a sensible child. He noticed that Jingxue was preoccupied, so he pulled Yingying, who had come to play with Jingxue, to another room.

After court, Ye Muchen did not go to the military village camp, but went directly back to the Prince's Mansion. Knowing that Jingxue had not left the mansion, he came to Jingning Garden.

The courtyard was quiet, and when we entered the main house, no one was there.

Jingxue's bedroom door was not closed, and the white gauze curtains were loosely drawn. Jingxue sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) with her knees drawn up, lost in thought!

Looking at Ye Muchen as he entered, Jingxue's eyes were empty, showing no reaction whatsoever.

This was the first time Ye Muchen had seen Jingxue so delicate, and he softly called out "Jingxue"!

Jingxue blinked, as if she had returned to reality from another world. She straightened up instantly and muttered, "You've come!" Then, she quickly got off the ground and put on her shoes.

Ye Muchen sat down in the chair next to the table, and Jingxue came over and poured him a cup of tea!

"Any news?" Jingxue asked softly.

Ye Muchen sighed and said, "The Emperor mentioned this matter at the morning court session today. The case will be handled by the Court of Judicial Review. Tomorrow, the Emperor will lead officials of the sixth rank and above to attend the hearing. I estimate that Father will also be there."

Jingxue also sat down, and Ye Muchen continued, "Last night I went to see the fourth prince to see if I could find any clues, but unfortunately..."

“I’m going to Dali Temple tomorrow too!” Jingxue said.

"Alright! Since our marriage, the princess's court dress has been kept in the storeroom. I'll have the steward bring it to you later!"

"No need! I'm going as Jing Zhiyuan's daughter, there's no need for me to wear the princess's court dress!"

“But you are my queen!” Ye Muchen’s voice rose a little.

Jingxue chuckled, and Ye Muchen's heart ached at the same time!

Ye Muchen glanced at Jingxue and said, "Your father is in danger right now, so there are some things I can't say. Once we've rescued him and everything is over, I'll talk to you about them then!"

"Okay!" Jingxue's voice was a little hoarse.

"Jingxue, listen to me. Your father's matter is the most important. Your status as a princess can help you, and it also shows respect for the court."

"Originally, after court, I intended to go to the Hall of Diligent Governance to plead for your father with my elder brother. However, I reconsidered. If I went now and your father was found innocent, some people would surely accuse me of favoritism and bending the law. I am not afraid of criticism, but I believe your father is innocent! Although I dislike him, he is not the type to do such a thing!"

Jingxue turned her head and glanced at Ye Muchen; the man's profile was also incomparably handsome!

"Thank you! Last night, I asked my father, and he said he didn't do it!"

"The key now is how to overturn this evidence!" Ye Muchen said sincerely.

Jingxue was surprised that Ye Muchen trusted Jing Zhiyuan so much, and even though he knew that with the get-out-of-jail-free card, Jing Zhiyuan couldn't possibly die, this man was still thinking of finding evidence to exonerate Jing Zhiyuan.

He knew perfectly well that if he overturned the evidence, she would have to use her get-out-of-jail-free card to divorce him, yet he still did it. This man truly impressed her!

She still remembered how the man pleaded with the emperor not to grant him a pardon from death.

Jingxue felt a tiny bit of affection for Ye Muchen. Yes! Just a tiny bit, nothing more!

But I don't have time to think about that now!

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!" Ye Muchen stood up, glanced at Jingxue, and said.

"Thank you!"

"You and I, husband and wife, are one!"

Jingxue sighed inwardly.

Ye Muchen still needs to visit several mansions, including the Ningguo Duke's Mansion and the Anguo Duke's Mansion. There are several people who will plead for Jing Zhiyuan in court tomorrow, which will be helpful to his case!

Ye Musi and Qin Jing arrived shortly after Ye Muchen left.

Qin Jing has been busy buying shops and preparing warehouses these past few days. After meeting Ye Musi today, the two of them made an appointment to visit Jing Xue.

An'an led the two people into the house.

"Third cousin-in-law!"

"You're here, please sit down!" Jingxue invited the two to sit down, and An'an obediently went out.

Ye Musi looked at Jingxue, who had a worried expression, and said, "Third Sister-in-law, don't get too upset. I will also testify in court tomorrow. After General Xue arrived in Jizhou, he conducted a survey among the people. Your father has a high reputation among the people!"

Jingxue gave a bitter smile. "The Fourth Prince has high prestige, which may not be a good thing for my father!"
