The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Inside the restaurant, as soon as the waiter served the dishes, Li Muxia couldn't wait to start eating. She was really hungry. Dongfang Jincheng, on the other hand, didn't rush to pick up his chopsticks. Watching Li Muxia wolf down her food, he smiled and poured her a glass of water, saying, "Slow down, be careful not to choke."

Li Muxia glanced at the person opposite her, then awkwardly stopped what she was doing: "Why isn't Your Highness eating? Don't you like it?"

Dongfang Jincheng then picked up a piece of meat. Li Muxia thought he would eat it himself, but unexpectedly, he put it in his own bowl.

She suddenly realized that the man opposite her was her boyfriend, and somewhat embarrassed, she lowered her head and continued eating, whispering, "Thank you."

Only after Li Muxia put down her bowl and chopsticks did Dongfang Jincheng speak, saying, "You're done eating."

Li Muxia nodded contentedly: "Mmm, I'm so full."

Dongfang Jincheng looked at Li Muxia with affection and asked, "Where are you going later?"

Li Muxia: "Go see Lanzhi."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Perfect timing, the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia opened her eyes wide and looked at Dongfang Jincheng, asking, "Are you talking about Lan Zhi?"

Dongfang Jincheng: "Yes, yesterday the secret guards caught two men outside the city. They confessed that they were instructed to kidnap a woman and bring her to the embassy."

Li Muxia stood up excitedly and asked, "Where are they?"

Dongfang Jincheng: "In the Ministry of Justice prison."

Li Muxia: "I want to go."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Okay."

The two arrived at the Ministry of Justice prison, and the prison warden, seeing that it was Dongfang Jincheng, tactfully let them in.

This was Li Muxia's first time in prison. However, it wasn't as dirty and chaotic as the rumors suggested. To be honest, it was much better than some poor people's houses. It was clean and tidy, and there weren't many prisoners in the cells.

The two men arrived at the interrogation room, and shortly after, the jailer brought them in.

Li Muxia looked at the two of them, but had no recollection of them at all.

At this moment, Dongfang Jincheng spoke up and said, "Repeat what you were told yesterday."

The two men looked at Dongfang Jincheng and pleaded for mercy, saying, "We were really entrusted by someone to do those outrageous things. Your Highness, please have mercy and spare our lives."

Dongfang Jincheng spoke authoritatively: "Say whatever I tell you to say."

The two looked at each other.

Seeing this, Li Muxia said, "Fine, I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them."

Only then did the two notice that there was a man standing next to Dongfang Jincheng, but the man looked somewhat familiar.

"Please ask, sir. We will answer to the best of our knowledge."

Li Muxia: "Who ordered you to arrest Su Lanzhi?"

One of the two men said, "We don't know who he is, we only know that he is the envoy who came this time, and he is wearing foreign clothing."

The man's description was vague; he said that people from several tribes were wearing foreign clothing.

Li Muxia: "Describe that person's appearance in detail."

Upon hearing this, the man thought for a moment and then said, "He was tall, about a head taller than me, with a full beard and his hair was braided into small braids. Oh, and he was wearing a headband inlaid with jewels."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng knew who it was; only the Hamon tribe had men with braided hair.

However, we still need to find out who from the Hamon tribe it is.

Li Muxia then asked, "What color is the gemstone on his forehead ribbon?"

In the Hamon tribe, the headband worn by men symbolizes their status. Generally, the higher the status, the darker and larger the gemstone on the headband.

Upon hearing this, the man said somewhat awkwardly, "To be honest, my brother and I are colorblind. All we can see are black, gray, and white, so we don't know what color his gemstone is."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia whispered, "Colorblind."

The man continued, "However, we remember what he looks like, and we'll definitely recognize him if we see him again."

Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng both knew this, but they needed to confirm it first before taking people to identify the people.

Li Muxia then asked, "How did you capture Su Lanzhi?"

The man said, "We went to the back of the house beforehand to catch some hibernating snakes, then released them to create chaos, and then took advantage of the chaos to kidnap the person. In case Miss Su was not cooperative when she woke up, the employer asked us to use aphrodisiac on her beforehand."

Another man added, "However, we ended up arresting the wrong person."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia excitedly asked, "What do you mean?"

The man continued, "He told us to grab the woman in the red cloak, but because my brother and I are colorblind, and we were afraid that if the employer found out, he wouldn't hire us anymore, we didn't say anything. At the time, the ladies were quite close together, and the direction the employer was pointing was only towards Ms. Su, who was facing us, so we assumed that the person the employer wanted to grab was Ms. Su. It wasn't until the employer saw Ms. Su that he told us that we had grabbed the wrong person."

The man's words struck Li Muxia like a bolt of lightning; she truly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng's expressions grew increasingly grim as they listened.

Li Muxia: The red cloak. If she remembered correctly, she was the only one wearing a red cloak at the time, so Lan Zhi took the blame for her.

Dongfang Jincheng's expression was beyond ugly; the murderous intent in his eyes was so intense it was impossible to ignore.

The two men trembled with fear when they saw the murderous intent in Dongfang Jincheng's eyes.

He quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I really told the truth, please spare my life, Your Highness."

Dongfang Jincheng suppressed his killing intent and looked at Li Muxia beside him. Sure enough, Li Muxia's expression was very bad.

Have someone take the two of them away first.

Dongfang Jincheng: "Mu Xia, you..."

Before Dongfang Jincheng could finish speaking, Li Muxia slowly turned to look at him, tears welling in her eyes: "So, their target was me from the beginning. I'm the one who harmed Lanzhi. Lanzhi was violated because of me."

Dongfang Jincheng pulled the person into his arms and comforted him, "This is not your fault. It is all the fault of the person who planned this. Don't worry, I will definitely not let the murderer get away with it."

Li Muxia: "But, but Lanzhi has already, has already..."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Muxia, the most important thing now is to catch the murderer. Once we catch the murderer, we can let Lanzhi decide whether or not to seek revenge."

Although Li Muxia felt guilty, she also knew that the deed was done and now was not the time to blame herself, but to find a way to punish the murderer.

Li Muxia wiped away her tears: "Yes, but according to their testimonies, the murderer is very likely Ashida."

Dongfang Jincheng nodded: "Yes, but we still need to have them identify the person."

After the two composed themselves, Dongfang Jincheng instructed Yuze to take one of them to the area above Ashida's room at the embassy, ​​lift the roof tiles, and let the man identify him.

Upon seeing the person drinking tea at the table, the man immediately pointed excitedly at that person, but before he could speak, Yu Zecheng covered his mouth.

When they arrived at where Li Muxia was waiting, Dongfang Jincheng asked, "Is it him?"

The man nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, that's him."

Dongfang Jincheng and Li Muxia exchanged a glance and ordered the man to be taken back to the prison.
