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

"It's Xue'er!" Jing Zhiyuan tried hard to control his emotions, not wanting his wife to get too excited.

Madam Li was also puzzled, "Xue'er? She went to the court? Was it the Prince of War or the Empress Dowager...?"

In the prison, Jingxue said she would definitely get them out. Li didn't dare to have any hope. She knew her daughter well. Even if they were to be rescued, it would be Jingxue asking others for help.

"She went to court, where she debated fiercely with the court officials, and finally produced a get-out-of-jail-free card!"

Li's mouth hung open in disbelief. "How could she have a get-out-of-jail-free card? Now that you mention it, I remember that the day she was able to see us in the prison, I thought it was the War King who took her there. That's the heavily guarded Ministry of Justice prison!"

Li said excitedly, "But, just because of this, you say Xue'er is gone! Then who is she? I held her hand, I hugged her, she..." Her voice gradually choked up, and tears slid down her cheeks.

She refused to accept the fact that things had already come to this, and only hoped that her children could escape this calamity.

“The change is too great. The Emperor said that she used her superb medical skills to save the Empress from a difficult childbirth, which allowed the Empress to give birth to the eldest prince. Therefore, he granted her a pardon. Since the founding of Bei Ye, no one has received such an honor, including the former generals who had made great military achievements. Tell me, is this still our quiet and reserved daughter?” Jing Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xue'er doesn't know medicine!" Li said blankly.

"Not only that, after she left the cell that night, the jailer who had been asleep woke up, while the head jailer was unable to move and had to be carried out by two jailers. In the courtroom, she actually smashed a table with one hand, and in full view of everyone, she secretly put two silver notes into the boots of Lord Li and Lord Xiao respectively."

Li opened her mouth but couldn't speak, her face full of astonishment.

“But I don’t think most of the people here are surprised. What exactly happened in the months after Xue’er got married?” Jing Zhiyuan said, puzzled.

"What should we do? Will she hurt Ze'er?" Li Shi started to cry again.

"I don't think so, right? She asked the Emperor to take Ze'er in and raise him. Oh, and the War King also said that, considering she offered the salt-making recipe, the salt-making recipe, oh, the recipe!"

Li Shi calmed down a bit by now. "Husband, she's been saving us. If what you're saying is true, and she's not our daughter, then she could have easily stood aside and abandoned us. If we were gone, she wouldn't be..."

“I can’t find any trace of my daughter, except for her tears when we meet. But I think she will come to see us soon!” Jing Zhiyuan said.

Li didn't dare to think too much about it. "Really? There are imperial guards protecting this place!"

Jing Zhiyuan chuckled. "The force of her palm strike could shatter a table about two inches thick. Do you think the Imperial Guards could stop her? Besides, I feel that the Emperor, and even the Emperor Emeritus, treat her differently. If she wanted to come, it shouldn't be difficult for her."

Jing Zhiyuan looked around the room. “The Emperor Emeritus also went to the court, but he didn’t show up. I think the Emperor Emeritus still trusts me, otherwise we wouldn’t be imprisoned here. This is also a form of protection for us! Look at the things here. Although they are not luxurious, they have everything we need.”

This place has clearly been renovated, and all the supplies and furniture have been replaced.

“My lord, you have been away from the capital for many years, so you may not know who used to live here. This place was originally inhabited by a hostage from the Eastern Yu Kingdom, who later committed suicide here! Perhaps we will also die silently. Do you understand what I mean?”

"No way!" Jing Zhiyuan shook his head.

"They are protecting us. If they really wanted to imprison us, they wouldn't do it here. They could imprison us in the Ministry of Justice's prison. Xue'er was allowed to enter the courtroom only with the Emperor's permission. Otherwise, even if she had a pardon, she would only have a chance to save us during the execution. And in that case, my crime would be sealed!"

“What you said makes sense. Even if we are spared the death penalty, we will still be exiled thousands of miles away. It is indeed to protect us. I hope that our third child can be born safely here.”

Li stroked her belly, and Jing Zhiyuan's gaze fell on it as well. He said guiltily, "I wasn't by your side when Xue'er and Ze'er were born, but I will be with you this time!"

"My husband, do you still remember when you first met Xue'er, she was already three years old!"

“Yes! That little girl, so pink and tender, hiding behind you… Later, after we got to know each other, she called me ‘Daddy’ in her soft, sweet voice!” Tears welled up in Jing Zhiyuan’s eyes.

The couple were both lost in memories of the past...

When Qin Jing and Ye Musi saw the rows of neat houses in the military village, they couldn't help but marvel at the army's efficiency.

"How is it?" Ye Muchen asked.

Qin Jing nodded and said, "That's right! How many people can live here? Third Brother, how many villages like this do you plan to build?"

“This is five hundred households. It is planned that there will be one such military village every five li along each official road in the east, west, north and south, with the capital as the center. The families have not yet arrived, but even if they do, there will be soldiers who are alone. Therefore, we still need to build kitchens and canteens,” Ye Muchen replied.

"Won't it be difficult to manage when family members come?" Ye Musi asked.

"One commander of a thousand households is in charge of two military villages, and each military village has five commanders of a hundred households. They each have their own responsibilities, so there shouldn't be any problem!"

Ye Musi smiled and said, "If His Majesty comes to see this, he will be very happy! This is a good thing that will solve the problem once and for all, and we will no longer have to worry about those civil officials saying that we can't afford to support the army."

Ye Muchen rarely showed a smile, and the fatigue of many days had dissipated considerably.

"Third Brother, how are you going to distribute those warhorses?" Qin Jing had a question he was concerned about.

"The supplies will be distributed evenly to each military village. Xiao Jing, the team you mentioned that helps the people deliver messages and transport goods is also being prepared. Hopefully, we will never have to worry about food supplies again."

Qin Jing continued, "Third Brother, if Third Sister-in-law had come here, she might have been able to give you a lot of good ideas!"

Ye Muchen dared not hope that Jingxue could help her. Once her family's affairs were settled, she might even come to talk to him about a divorce!

Talking is useless; he just doesn't agree.

“Let’s go inside and take a look. I haven’t seen the heated kang bed that Brother Jing mentioned yet!” Ye Musi said.

Qin Jing immediately chimed in, "You'll see when you see it. When have I ever lied to you? You even missed the epic battle between Third Sister-in-law and Princess Jingyi! It was absolutely spectacular!"

After returning to his residence from the Dali Temple, Marquis Quyang went directly to his wife's courtyard.

After they were seated, Lady Qu Yang poured her husband a cup of tea and said, "My lord, Jingyi went to the Dali Temple today."

"What use is she? Don't you know how wicked that Princess Consort of War is?" Marquis Quyang took the teacup.

"Oh? Tell me, my lord!"
