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

Upon hearing Jingxue's words, Ye Musi suddenly understood that if Jing Zhiyuan's support among the people was too high, even surpassing that of the imperial court, it would not be a good thing at all!

Qin Jing also abandoned his usual unruly demeanor today and said seriously, "This matter is indeed difficult to handle. Under normal circumstances, death is certain, and even if one survives, one will be exiled to the desolate northwest lands thousands of miles away!"

“This witness simply reported the facts to General Xue; he didn’t say anything more,” Ye Musi said.

Jingxue rubbed her forehead and said, "But his honest statement, along with that physical evidence, is almost enough to convict him. And considering my father's status and power, he could have done this from any angle. But my father says he never did it!"

Qin Jing and the other person exchanged a glance, knowing that Jing Xue had already met Jing Zhiyuan!

"Oh! By the way! Fourth Prince, thank you for taking care of my family all the way. Jingxue will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!" Jingxue said sincerely to Ye Musi.

"Third Sister-in-law, don't say that. This is what I should do!"

"Fourth Prince, the secret room is below the stables. Where are the stables located in the mansion?" Jingxue asked.

"The stables are in the northeast corner of the mansion!"

"That means it's possible that a tunnel was dug from the outside!" Qin Jing said.

Jingxue nodded, then asked, "What's inside the secret room?"

Ye Musi recalled, "Inside was a room built of stone. When I led people in, there was a luminous pearl, a desk, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, and a clothes rack with a dragon robe hanging on it!"

"Did the coachman say how he discovered the secret room?"

"The groom said that he accidentally heard the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground, and the sound was a bit hollow, so he dug down and found the secret room and the dragon robe. He didn't dare to make a sound and quickly restored the ground to its original state. Just then, General Xue was ordered to inspect the border, so he reported it to General Xue!" Ye Musi replied.

Jingxue sneered, "It's rare to find a coachman with such awareness!"

"It is indeed a bit abnormal. If it were anyone else, they would have been scared away long ago. But it is still somewhat plausible. If it were a premeditated frame-up, it would be very difficult to find loopholes!" Qin Jing analyzed.

Jingxue and Ye Musi nodded at the same time.

"Third sister-in-law, what are your plans?" Ye Musi asked.

Jingxue sighed. "What can we do? If the death penalty is waived, will the punishment be exile? My mother is pregnant, and my younger brother is only five years old. If they are exiled thousands of miles away, will they even be able to come back alive?"

"That's hard to say! We can't fathom His Majesty's thoughts," Qin Jing said.

Just then, a noise came from the courtyard, and Jingxue thought it was Xiaoman and Runyue returning!

Unexpectedly, Lixia also arrived, and it was clear that both Xiaoman and Lixia had been crying.

"What happened?" Jingxue asked.

Leap Moon blurted out, "Miss, someone is causing trouble at our grain shop. They're saying that Prince Zhenbei is a traitor and that the potatoes and other things in our shop are from Cangbei!"

"Miss, there's a lot of talk outside saying that Master, Madam, and all the servants have been escorted back to the capital? Is it true?" Li Xia asked, tears welling in her eyes.

Jingxue sneered, "This matter was only announced in court today, and it hasn't been long since the court session ended, yet it's already spread outside? Isn't that a bit too fast?"

"That's pretty fast! It's almost unbelievable how fast it's going on, like someone deliberately spread it!" Qin Jing said.

"Miss, please save Master, Madam, and the young master!" Xiaoman cried.

Lixia tugged at Xiaoman's sleeve. "Miss, the shop assistants got into a fight with the troublemakers. Manager Cai closed the shop and asked me to come back and ask you what to do."

Jingxue never expected that these items in her online store would ultimately cause trouble for Jing Zhiyuan.

"Just shut it down! Let everyone have a few days off. What kind of people are causing trouble?"

“They are all ordinary people. Manager Cai analyzed that they were hired by other grain shops,” Li Xia replied.

"Qin Jing, what are you going to say about where these things came from?"

Qin Jing's face was filled with anger. "What do you mean? Why should I say anything? I'm not saying anything!"

Of course he was angry. In the past few days, he had been receiving messages from several shops in the prefectural city via carrier pigeon, saying that the goods he had transported there were selling very well, and he was planning to make a lot of money!

If his cousin-in-law stops supplying him with goods, won't all his money disappear?

Jingxue suddenly realized, "To hell with it! What's the point of analyzing?"

Is it stupid to reason with someone who has harmed you?

Jingxue felt a sense of sudden enlightenment!

"Alright, Xiaoman and Lixia, don't worry. Master, Madam, and your relatives will all be fine. Go and cook! Lixia, go back to the shop after you finish eating."

Xiaoman wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Runyue and Lixia!

Knowing that Jingxue was in a bad mood, Ye Musi and Qin Jing didn't bother her any further. They comforted her for a few moments and then said goodbye and left.

Jingxue didn't try to stop her, thinking that she could express her gratitude after everything calmed down.

Everyone ate lunch absentmindedly. Jingxue ate only a few bites before returning to her bedroom.

She instructed Xiaoman that she would not see anyone else who came.

In the afternoon, the steward delivered the princess's court robes. Xiaoman accepted them, intending to tell Jingxue about them at dinner, but Jingxue did not come out for dinner.

next day

Jingxue got up early and asked Xiaoman to help her change clothes and comb her hair. "Miss, is there a court hearing today?"

"Yes! Xiaoman, you stay at the manor to take care of the three children!"

"Miss, why don't you take Leap Month with you?" Xiaoman said while combing Jingxue's hair.

"No, I'll go alone."

Yesterday, Ye Muchen said that today's morning court session was canceled and the trial would begin at the beginning of Chenshi (7-9 AM). There is less than an hour left until Chenshi!

After getting ready, Jingxue didn't let Xiaoman escort her to the gate of the mansion.

Upon arriving at the main gate, the steward was waiting there. "Your Highness, the Prince has instructed me to prepare a carriage for you. He has departed now!"

Jingxue nodded. The steward had prepared a carriage bearing the insignia of the Prince's Mansion for today.

The Dali Temple was some distance from the War King's Mansion. When they arrived at the entrance of the Dali Temple, Jingxue sat in the carriage and used her supernatural abilities to sense that the event had not yet started, so she did not rush to get out of the carriage.

Once all the ministers had entered, the court hearing began quickly, with Yemus making his statement.

Jingxue stepped down from the carriage, her deep purple court robe embroidered with phoenixes and peonies in gold and silver thread. She wore the unique pheasant crown worn by princesses, the pearls and gold-embroidered flowers on the crown dazzling in the sunlight. Needless to say, her appearance was stunning, and she looked incredibly dignified and majestic!

Just then, a carriage stopped not far from her, and Princess Jingyi got out of the carriage and called out to her, "Princess Consort Zhan!"

Jingxue ignored her, and Princess Jingyi quickly took two steps to her side and said, "Princess Consort Zhan, I have an item bestowed by the late Emperor. I can use it to save your father's life, but I have one condition..."
