After seeing off Princess Duanya, Song Jinyu vaguely felt that her purpose couldn't be that simple. Sisters of different backgrounds? Come on. How could a princess from a royal mansion casually form a sworn sisterhood with a courtier's daughter?
Before she could figure out the ins and outs, in the evening, the prefectural governor's mansion was suddenly surrounded by the soldiers from the royal mansion.
Zhongli Mingye led the soldiers and broke into the prefectural governor's mansion.
Song Jinyu looked at him in surprise, while Zhongli Mingye looked at her with a very complicated expression. "Did you prescribe the prescription for the princess?" At this moment, he regretted why he had let Song Jinyu get to know Yu Duanya!
Song Jinyu lowered her eyes. No one could see her expression. "Yes!"
Zhongli Mingye closed his eyes, trying to drive away the regret at this moment.
"Arrest her!"
The cold voice landed on Song Jinyu's heart.
"Wait a minute!"
Song Qinzhou knelt in front of Zhongli Mingye. "Your Highness, I wonder how my little daughter has offended you?"
Zhongli Mingye briefly explained the cause and effect. Song Qinzhou panicked. Why did this girl prescribe a prescription for the princess and cause such a big trouble?
After taking the medicine prescribed by Song Jinyu, Princess Duanya fell into a coma. Her personal maid first sent a letter to the Prince Duan'an's Mansion and then found Zhongli Mingye. That's why this happened at night.
After a long time, Song Jinyu raised her head. As her eyes fluttered, a trace of resentment flashed by, and then her expression became clearer. "That prescription was just a tonic."
Many soldiers pointed their swords at her. She gently pushed aside these sharp blades and accidentally got scratched. She walked to the desk, picked up the rice paper and handed it to Zhongli Mingye. "Your Highness, the trace of writing the prescription is still here."
After saying that, she stood still without saying a word.
Zhongli Mingye took the rice paper and still said, "Arrest her..."
Song Jinyu couldn't help smiling bitterly. It turned out that he didn't trust her at all.
Well then!
The prefect suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Miss Song, please come with me." Song Jinyu didn't even look at Zhongli Mingye and silently followed the prefect away.
The man closed his eyes. The pain in his heart tugged at his heartstrings. Since he heard what the maid said about the cause and effect, he knew that this was a scheme against Song Jinyu.
It was himself who had implicated her. He had also underestimated the determination of Yu Duanya and the Prince Duan'an's Mansion.
In the middle of the night, the Prince Duan'an suddenly came. Seeing his daughter in a coma, he immediately wanted to execute the "instigator". Zhongli Mingye stopped him.
Song Jinyu was the daughter of the prefect of Liuzhou. Although it was she who had prescribed the prescription, it was not enough to prove that she had deliberately harmed the princess.
The two were at a stalemate. Yu Huai was a very shrewd old fox. He had received Yu Duanya's letter earlier, which was why he came so quickly.
He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a murderous aura from the battlefield.
Suddenly, he said, "I've watched you grow up since you were a child. If you marry Duanya, this matter can be resolved."
So this was where they were waiting for him. He really didn't know what Yu Duanya had said to the Prince Duan'an. Zhongli Mingye only hated himself for underestimating the princess too much.
Yu Huai's overly pressing eyes didn't make Zhongli Mingye take a step back. After a long time, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"I hate being threatened the most..."
He left this sentence before leaving.
After leaving the royal mansion, he went to the prefectural yamen. "Your Highness, the girl is fine."
"Has she had dinner?" Zhongli Mingye came in a hurry. The prefect knew that Miss Song was the person the prince cared about, so he naturally treated her with courtesy.
The prefect reported truthfully, "Miss Song didn't have dinner. She just sat there alone without saying a word." His heart ached. Zhongli Mingye quickly walked to the cell.
Sure enough, as the prefect had said, she was treated with courtesy. Although it was a cell, it was clean and tidy.
He walked in and felt a bit at a loss. "Jinyu..."
Song Jinyu was sitting there in a daze. When she saw him coming, she didn't say much.
"I know you've been wronged." He had to lock her up to protect her safety. He was afraid that the Prince Duan'an would really execute her.
Song Jinyu didn't answer. She just started talking to herself. "Since the last time Shen Yingyun tried to frame me, I've been curious. I've never had any grudges with these young ladies. Why did she try to harm me like this?"
"Song Wangqiu and her mother tried to harm me because of the power in the Song Mansion and the marriage with the He family."
She raised her head. Her haggard face made Zhongli Mingye's heart ache. "This time, Yu Duanya got close to me for no reason and then asked me to feel her pulse."
"Then she directly sent me to prison. What for?" Her face was expressionless, and her voice didn't show any fluctuation. Zhongli Mingye walked towards her and wanted to hug her into his arms. But he saw her move a bit further away. There was a faint pain in her phoenix eyes, which was covered with a shadow.
Song Jinyu sighed and said, "Your Highness, please stay away from me." When Zhongli Mingye heard her say this, he felt even more sad. "I will get justice for you!"
"Justice? Ha..."
Looking at this man, she had to admit that he was really an outstanding man in the world. But so what? To her, it was just a passing romance.
She didn't say anything more. She just turned her back to him and coldly said, "Go and tell the Prince Duan'an that his daughter won't live past twenty!"
"As for her illness, only I can cure it completely."
She turned around and looked at Zhongli Mingye. "I don't need the glory and wealth of you so - called royal relatives. Just stay away from me from now on." There was disgust in her voice, which made Zhongli Mingye stunned.
There was an unprecedented firmness in her expression.
Zhongli Mingye silently looked at her. He wanted to reach out and smooth her haggard face, but he could only clench his fists tightly. He finally admitted that at this moment, Song Jinyu was no longer the bright and sunny girl he knew.
"Jinyu, I will keep you safe!" After saying this, he left the cell.
In the Prince Yu's Mansion, the lights were brightly lit. After the imperial physician's all - night rescue, Yu Duanya finally woke up. As soon as she woke up, she wanted to ask why Song Jinyu had tried to harm her.
Zhongli Mingye never came to see her from beginning to end. He only ordered people to take good care of the Prince Duan'an and his daughter.
"Where is the Prince Cheng now?"
Seeing his unhappy expression, Qingfeng replied carefully, "He will arrive in Liuzhou City tomorrow."
As soon as the voice fell, Zhongli Mingye turned around and went to the Prince Duan'an's place.
