Seven days passed, and Tingwei Li Kun led his people to check the crime scene again and again. If this matter was to be resolved satisfactorily, a scapegoat must be introduced, but this scapegoat must have a motive for killing. After much thought, he found that only the consort Gu Qingtang had such a motive, but Gu Qingtang was the one who could not be moved.

As a result, the case reached a deadlock. Li Kun felt that he had picked up a hot potato and did not know how to resolve the case.

"Miss! Miss!" A general from the Taiwei Mansion quickly ran into the Prince Consort's Mansion, knelt down to Nian Wanniang who was drinking tea in the front hall, clasped her fists and said, "Miss, the generals have already Catch that guy!"

Nian Wanniang's face darkened, and she put down the tea cup in her hand, "Very good, you go according to plan and send the man to Tingwei's house. I believe Lord Li Kun knows what to do next."

"Yes!" The general bowed to Nian Wanniang, turned around and ran out of the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Yin Ying looked at her in confusion, "Wan Niang, what's going on?"

Nian Wanniang sighed softly, "Gu Qingtang should be able to come back."

"Seriously?" Yin Ying was a little excited.

"Actually, I don't want to help..." Nian Wanniang smiled self-deprecatingly, stopped what she wanted to say, and replaced it with another sentence, "I just don't want to see Aning look sad every day..."

Yin Ying sighed, "In the past few days, the emperor's sister has indeed looked bad, always looking worried," her brows relaxed slightly, "but if she knows the good news, she will be happy, right?"

Nian Wanniang remained silent and did not answer Yin Ying's words.

"What's the good news?" Yin Ning slowly walked into the front hall, her face a little pale.

Xiao Xi hugged the little jacket and followed closely. When she saw Yin Ning sitting down, she quickly put the little jacket on her belly.

Yin Ying smiled and said: "Sister Huang, Wan Niang has found a way to save Gu Shaofu. I'm afraid that Gu Shaofu will be back in a few days."

"She...can come back?" Yin Ning was startled, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Nian Wanniang looked sour and said coldly: "I saved him..." As she said that, she glanced at Yin Ning's little coat and felt that it was full of patches and should be a sign of poverty among the people. How could something used by others appear next to the princess?

"This..."

Yin Ning gathered her little coat and said calmly: "It's just an ordinary thing." After saying that, she stared at Nian Wanniang closely and confirmed again, "She... can really come back? ”

Nian Wanniang smiled bitterly and said, "You don't believe me?"

"I didn't mean that..." Yin Ning responded in a low voice and looked at Xiao Xi aside, "It's time for you to fly a kite."

"Yes..." Xiao Xi nodded, turned around and walked towards the door of the Prince Consort's Mansion.

"Wait a minute." Before Xiao Xi walked out of the front hall, Yin Ning called her again, "What is she asking today?"

Xiao Xi thought for a while and replied: "Is the princess ridiculous?"

Yin Ning pursed her lips and said solemnly: "Write no today."

Xiao Xi was stunned.

"Go ahead." Yin Ning motioned for Xiao Xi to step back.

"Yes."

Yin Ying couldn't help but persuade, "Sister Huang, you will make Mr. Gu worried in the prison."

"It's good for her to be sad!" Yin Ning responded, but she said in her heart, "Who let this annoying ghost make me so sad? She deserves it!"

Nian Wanniang smiled secretly. In fact, she also sent someone to see the kites that Xiao Xi had flown in the past few days. There were no words written on the kites, which showed that Yin Ning's heart was not firmly tied to Gu Qingtang.

If you like someone, you should make each other feel at ease.

The more Yin Ning behaves like this, the more Nian Wanniang feels that she may still have a chance to make Yin Ning really like her.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

It was a sunny day. When another kite appeared in the sky, Gu Qingtang, who was standing by the cell window, couldn't help but frown.

For many days, not a word was written on the kite. Gu Qingtang thought too much - she didn't know if Xiao Xi had taken good care of the little princess, and she didn't know if the little princess had remembered that the little coat was from back then. The beggar's clothes she was wearing had changed, not to mention whether the little princess was still annoyed with her for taking the blame?

When she saw clearly that there was a big word "No" written on the kite, Gu Qingtang's heart suddenly hurt, and she murmured, "Aning..."

At this moment, she just wanted to leave this prison immediately, return to her house quickly, and make her smile.

"Clang!"

When the sound of iron chains sounded behind him, Gu Qingtang had to suppress the sadness on his face, turned around with a smile, and bowed respectfully to Yin Changan, who was wearing a dragon robe, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Yin Changan took out the medicine bottle from his arms, shook out the pills, and handed them to Gu Qingtang, "Today is the seventh day. It's time for me to give you medicine."

Gu Qingtang took the pill, swallowed it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You have figured it out in the past few days," Yin Changan approached Gu Qingtang with a playful smile, "Should you let me go or let others go in the future?"

Gu Qingtang nodded and smiled: "Weichen..."

"I now want to hear you call yourself Qingtang!" Yin Changan smiled a little deeper.

Gu Qingtang took a breath and chuckled: "Isn't Qingtang always loyal to His Majesty?"

Yin Changan was unhappy when he heard this, "What I'm asking is, should you let me go or let others go?"

Gu Qingtang pretended to be ignorant and asked: "What does your Majesty want to hear Qingtang say?"

Yin Changan smiled coldly, "The days are long, I will let you go today." After saying that, he took a step to the left and clapped his hands, "Here comes someone!"

"The general is here!" Two palace guards walked in, each holding a whip in their hands.

Finally she and the emperor were not alone here, and Gu Qingtang felt much more at ease.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Gu Qingtang looked at the two palace guards in confusion.

Yin Changan smiled and said: "Nian Wanniang helped you find a scapegoat, so, Mr. Gu, you can get out of prison."

Gu Qingtang was a little surprised, but this ending was within her expectation, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Bafen, bring up Mr. Gu's official uniform." Yin Changan ordered again.

The eighth father-in-law bent over and held up Gu Qingtang's official uniform, smiled at her, "Prince-in-law, please change."

"Thank you for your work, father-in-law." Gu Qingtang nodded and smiled, then reached for the official uniform.

"Slow!"

Yin Changan's hand suddenly pressed on Gu Qingtang's hand, and there was a hint of passion in his smile, "Nian Wanniang found a man with a big car who had his tongue cut out to be your scapegoat. Li Kun closed the case and said, This person had a grudge in this case, so he took the opportunity to retaliate against Antu, and then blamed you for Antu's murder." He held Gu Qingtang's hand tightly and did not allow her to shrink back. "The Imperial Master Dache also acquiesced to this. Because she knows this person."

Gu Qingtang naturally knew that this scapegoat was the man who ran away that day and had his tongue cut off. She didn't really care about how the case was resolved. What she cared about was how to leave here quickly and go back to see Yin. Ning, so that a frightened heart can calm down.

"It's just that you stabbed Antu after all, so you have to suffer some pain." The smile on Yin Changan's face disappeared for a moment, and he shouted, "The prince-in-law Gu Qingtang violated the laws of the country and seriously injured the carriage. Prince, I will punish you with twenty lashes today as a warning to others!”

"Yes!"

Two palace guards came behind Gu Qingtang, raised their long whips, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Prince Consort."

"I'm holding your hand, Mr. Gu, don't blame me, I have to give an explanation to the cart." Yin Changan whispered with a hint of distress, and then raised his voice, "Hit!"

"Bang!"

Two blood stains instantly spread on Gu Qingtang's prison clothes. She gritted her teeth but spread her fingers, refusing to hold Yin Changan's hand tightly.

"Pah! Pah!...Pah!"

When the eighteen whips fell in succession, Gu Qingtang couldn't help but tremble violently all over her body. She held herself up to prevent herself from falling, and said with a forced smile: "Chen...can I go home now?"

Yin Changan looked at her distressedly and felt that the woman in front of him was really stubborn. She was clearly shaking in pain, but she never cried out in pain.

He put the official uniform on Gu Qingtang with his own hands, and put the black gauze hat on her with his own hands. "Bafen, send her to the consort, and help her all the way back to the consort's house." As he said this, he seemed to want to explain something. Sentence, "I must put on a show for the cart..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything..." Gu Qingtang was sweating from the pain. She gritted her teeth and walked to the cell door slightly, "I... I know it is difficult for Your Majesty... I... I have been feeling unwell in recent days. ...Please also ask your majesty, your ministers... to rest in your mansion..."

Yin Changan smiled knowingly, "It's accurate!"

"Thank you... Your Majesty!"

Gu Qingtang took several deep breaths, and then, supported by Bafen, step by step, she walked out of the prison, out of the imperial city, and towards the home she loved and cared about the most - the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Yin Changan watched Gu Qingtang go away, and looked at the two palace guards behind him with a sinister smile, "You have done a good job. I have prepared a reward for you. You can follow me back to the palace."

"Yes!" The two palace guards looked at each other and smiled, then followed Yin Changan towards the depths of the imperial city.

The next day, two dead palace guards were found in the moat. After investigation, the court official Li Kun closed the case. The two men fell into the river because of greed, so the case became an insignificant case. After that, he was forgotten by the people in the imperial city.

Let us say that Gu Qingtang was whipped and ordered to go back to the Prince Consort's Mansion. After receiving the news, Taiwei Nian sent a carriage and horses to take her back to the Mansion.

"Qingtang, get in the car quickly!" Nian Taiwei sat in the carriage, raised the curtain, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty has gone too far in this matter, and his wings have hardened too early! ”

Eight-cent father-in-law looked at Lieutenant Nian with some embarrassment and lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to say a word.

Gu Qingtang waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, foster father, Qingtang can still hold on, there is no need to give those old officials more reasons to impeach you for Qingtang's sake."

"They dare?!"

"Father, Qingtang has Qingtang's own considerations. If this matter does not involve the Taiwei Mansion, that would be the best result." Gu Qingtang's face was a little pale, and blood was already showing on the back of his official uniform, "Here We’re not far from the Prince Consort’s Mansion, foster father, please come back.”

"Qingtang, your adoptive father will definitely get back the injustice you suffered this time!" Hearing that Gu Qingtang was still thinking about the Taiwei Mansion at this time, Taiwei Nian felt warm in his heart, "I won't If you're afraid of that kid, Qingtang, get in the car."

"But..." Gu Qingtang hesitated deliberately.

Lieutenant Nian glared at Gu Qingtang displeasedly and glanced left and right, "Here, help Young Master Gu get into the car!"

"Yes!"

"Hey..." The eighth father-in-law watched in panic as Gu Qingtang was helped onto the carriage by the generals of the Taiwei Mansion, but he did not dare to say anything to stop him.

Nian Taiwei glared at him fiercely, "Go back!"

"Yes!" Eight-cent father-in-law nodded hurriedly and ran towards the imperial city.
