Ming Lanruo closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and jumped down.
In her previous life, she went to the south of the Yangtze River with the prince, and learned swimming from a lotus-picking girl from the south of the Yangtze River.
The biting cold water shocked her, and she endured the discomfort and swam directly towards Ming Yueying.
Ming Yueying was floating in the water. The pain of water entering her trachea made her whole body throbbing. Suddenly, someone strangled her neck from behind and swam to the lake.
She struggled instinctively, and when she caught a glimpse of Ming Lanruo from the corner of her eye, she struggled even more desperately: "Let go... me, let me go!"
"Are you crazy? What have I done to deserve your life and child to harm me?" Ming Lanruo almost couldn't restrain her, so he took out a silver needle and stuck it in her numb hole in anger.
Ming Yueying suddenly twitched and her limbs became weak.
She sneered tremblingly and numbly: "Ming Lanruo, this time I want to see if you can escape even with the protection of Cang Qiao, that gelding!"
After saying that, she fainted.
Ming Lanruo dragged the person to the shore, and someone immediately rushed over to rescue Ming Yueying.
"Quick, call the doctor!"
"No, the princess is bleeding!"
In the midst of the chaos, Ming Lanruo just climbed up from the water shivering, and suddenly heard a sharp shout - "You loser star, you are so heartless and crazy!"
She turned around and saw Ming Guogong rushing towards him angrily. He raised his hand and was about to slap Ming Lanruo hard.
Ming Lanruo took a step back, avoided his slap, and shouted with her neck stiffened: "It wasn't me, I didn't push her!"
Ming Guogong's slap failed, and when he saw that she was still hiding, he was so angry that his eyes were full of killing intent: "Beast, how could I give birth to a shameless beast like you, who also mutilated his sister? I should have killed you when you were born!
"
Ming Lanruo's heart was clenched hard, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "Why, you don't believe me, why do you jump down to save her if I want to kill her!"
Duke Ming slapped her again: "How dare you quibble!"
"Master Guo, now is not the time to pursue this matter. Go and see Yueying quickly. What if the palace investigates her?" Mrs. Qin rushed over and stepped forward with tears in her eyes and hugged Duke Qin.
The Duke of Ming Dynasty roared with raised eyebrows: "Come here, take Princess Mourning immediately and send her to the prison to await interrogation by Your Majesty and the Crown Prince. She has already severed ties with our Duke's palace, and her life and death are no different from anyone else!"
He gave the order, and Ming Lanruo was immediately taken into custody by his attendants.
Ming Lanruo closed her eyes, threw away the attendant, and said coldly: "I can leave by myself."
After saying that, she turned around and left resolutely.
Looking at her back, Mrs. Qin looked at the colorless Ming Yueying lying on the stretcher, and couldn't help but feel guilty and uncomfortable.
When she looks at this situation, she will know what the truth is.
But if the truth is told, Ming Yueying's position will be in jeopardy and she will commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. She cannot harm her own daughter.
Tianlao
In the dark and damp cell compartment, Ming Lanruo was soaked to the skin, but no one gave her a piece of clothing.
In the coldest month of winter, she was shivering all over from the cold, her lips turned purple, and her head began to hurt.
Her body, which had not had food or clothing for these years, could not bear the bone-shattering cold. When she saw the jailer passing by, she immediately asked in a low voice: "Is there anyone there? Can you give me a piece of clothing?"
The jailer sneered and looked at her contemptuously: "What kind of clothes do you need? The little grandson in the Crown Princess's belly is gone. I'm afraid you will be stripped naked and quartered soon."
Another jailer looked at Ming Lanruo's soaked body with exposed curves, and a lustful light leaked from his eyes: "It's cold, isn't it? Why don't I come in and let you warm up, Princess?"
The female members of the royal family who were imprisoned in the heavenly prison could not escape intact. The best ending was to be exiled. They also had fun...
"You dare!" Ming Lanruo bit her lip, anger and vigilance suddenly flashed in her eyes. Just as she reached out and secretly took out the silver needle, she heard a cold scolding——
"Bold, you bastard, who allowed you to speak to Princess Mourning like this?"
When the two jailers saw the visitor, they were so frightened that they knelt down with a thud.
Ming Lanruo's eyes lit up, could it be Cang Qiao...
"Your Highness, please spare your life, you guys are talking nonsense!" The jailers knelt and kowtowed.
Shangguan Zeus Wen Junxiu's face was cold: "Drag these two people down!"
The others immediately dragged away the two pleading jailers.
"Why is it you? Shouldn't His Highness the Crown Prince be guarding the Crown Princess?" Ming Lanruo looked at Shangguan Zhou, a cold look flashed on her pale face.
Shangguan Zhou had someone open the cell door.
Ming Lanruo hugged her soaked self and retreated to the corner vigilantly and instinctively.
Seeing her movements, a complex and dark light flashed in Shangguan Zhou's eyes.
He said in a gentle voice: "I brought you some clothes. It's cold. Please change your clothes first before talking. Don't get sick."
Ming Lanruo watched as the maid behind Shangguan Zhou came in with a clean dress and placed it on the ground.
She suddenly became extremely suspicious: "I appreciate His Highness the Crown Prince's kindness, but I am the suspect who harmed the Crown Princess."
Shangguan Zhou sighed softly: "I will go out first. You can change your clothes and then talk."
With that said, he led the others and exited the cell where Ming Lanruo was.
Ming Lanruo looked at the clean and warm clothes, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to fight against her body.
She still has a tough battle to fight, and Xiao Xier is waiting for her outside!
Ming Lanruo quickly changed her clothes and finally took a breath, but she was still dizzy and uncomfortable. She knew she had caught a cold without feeling her pulse.
"Are you feeling better, Lan Ruo?" The prince saw that she had changed her clothes and walked over again.
Look at Ming Lanruo, who is wearing a palace dress of aqua blue Shu brocade. Her pale face loses a third of her beauty, but adds a delicate beauty, just like a winter orchid in the ice and snow.
Shangguan Zhou's eyes darkened slightly: "This dress suits you very well."
Ming Lanruo sat down cross-legged and said expressionlessly: "Thank you, Your Highness. I don't know if you are here late at night. What advice can you give me?"
Ming Lanruo goes straight to the point, neither humble nor overbearing, but it shows that her attitude is alienated.
Shangguan Zhou sighed: "Yueying has been rescued, but the child in her belly is gone. She is now in a coma, and she doesn't know when she will wake up."
Ming Lanruo had already known that this was bound to happen. The pregnancy was unstable for three months, but she fell into the water in the cold winter. How could she not have a miscarriage.
She sneered softly: "Why, His Highness the Crown Prince came to interrogate me first under the emperor's order?"
Shangguan Zhou frowned slightly: "This is my father's first direct grandson, and my father is furious."
Ming Lanruo raised her eyes and looked at him firmly: "I want to meet His Majesty to express my feelings. I did not push the Crown Princess into trouble, whether you believe it or not..."
Shangguan Zhou looked at her and suddenly interrupted: "I believe you."
Ming Lanruo was stunned and looked at Shangguan Zhou, wondering for a moment what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Shangguan Zhou looked at her calmly and gently: "You don't have to worry, I will definitely find evidence to exonerate you."
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him thoughtfully: "Why does Your Highness believe in me, and why do you believe in me?"
"Because I know that she has always hated you." Shangguan Zhou stepped forward and took off his fox fur to put it on her.
However, Ming Lanruo took two steps back cautiously: "No, Your Highness, men and women cannot be intimate with each other!"
She didn't want to have anything to do with this man and have the reputation of seducing her brother-in-law.
"I just see that you are very uncomfortable. There is cold sweat on your forehead and your lips are purple. You need to be warmed up. I don't mean any harm." Shangguan Zhou sighed softly and stopped.
With that said, he stopped approaching and just handed the fox fur over.
Ming Lanruo looked at him like, "If you don't pick it up, I'll wait here." She hesitated for a moment and then took it.
It was too cold in the sky jail, and she didn't know how long she would be kept there, so there was no need to be in trouble with her body.
Seeing Ming Lanruo take the fox fur, Shangguan Zhou sighed: "I failed to protect you. This time, trust me, I will never let you suffer injustice."
Ming Lanruo frowned, what was this couple doing? One was risking her life to harm her, but the other came to exonerate her.
After saying that, he said solemnly to the cell leader beside him: "Take good care of Princess Mourning. Your Majesty has not given orders, and the princess will still be a royal family. If you dare to insult the princess again, watch your heads!"
The prison head nodded and bowed: "Yes, don't worry, Your Highness!"
Shangguan Zhou looked deeply at Ming Lanruo, turned around and left.
Ming Lanruo remained silent and watched him leave.
The prince is full of scheming and his methods are no worse than those of the King of Qin. Why on earth does he suddenly want to show favor to him at this time?
Ming Lanruo sat down and took a breath. The tip of her nose was filled with hot and painful breath, and her head became increasingly dizzy.
The smell of the prison was not pleasant, but she didn't think it was anything.
She just closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down, staying awake so she could review everything that happened today and look for opportunities to break the situation.
"Oh, it seems that Princess Mourning can really live freely anywhere, but it makes our family worry in vain." A cold and deep voice sounded.
Ming Lanruo opened her eyes in an instant and looked at the tall figure who was standing at the door of her cell with the leader.
"Cang Qiao!" She couldn't help but show joy, tried her best to stand up holding the wall, and walked towards him.
Cang Qiao said gloomily: "Stop."
As he was talking, eunuchs from the East Factory came in with various instruments of torture, stove irons and other items.
Then someone brought the Eight Immortals chair and hand warmer to Cang Qiao and helped him sit down.
Seeing his cold expression, Ming Lanruo couldn't help but be startled: "What, you were ordered to interrogate me?"
Cang Qiao's eyes were fixed on the fox fur on Ming Lanruo's body. It looked like it was worn by a man.
He sneered gloomily: "Why, the prince has specially ordered to take care of you, do you really think that I can't touch you?"
Ming Lanruo stayed for a moment, full of grievances and sadness: "Why, do you think it was me who pushed Ming Yueying into the water? Even the prince saw such a clumsy trick. You, the majestic governor of Dongchang Palm Seal, are not as good as
Prince?"
Cang Qiao narrowed her gloomy eyes, and there was a terrifying blizzard gathering: "Yes or no, we will know after examination."
A few days ago, she said she didn't like the prince, but today, despite his busy schedule, he still had to save her life, and in her words, he was not as good as the prince.
"The suspects detained in Tianlao are dressed like this, so people don't know whether you are a suspect or the prince's concubine. Take off these clothes immediately!" Cang Qiao tightened his fingers and ordered expressionlessly.
She was dressed like a concubine of the Eastern Palace, and her soft body was wrapped in a fox fur that had the body temperature of other men.
Seeing that the evil fire in Cang Qiao's heart could not be suppressed, she suppressed her murderous anger and said, "Bring it here!"
Afterwards, Xiao Qizi immediately brought over a set of plain white clothes.
Ming Lanruo looked at the clothes and felt that they looked familiar. When she thought about it carefully, she found that they were very similar to those on Yun Ni.
When she turned over the corner of her clothes, she found Yun Ni's name embroidered on it.
What is this? Give her the clothes of the concubine beside him?
She suddenly felt cold and uncomfortable in her heart, and said stubbornly: "I won't change this thing!"
This thing?
Cang Qiao laughed angrily and ordered coldly: "If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it. Get dressed!"
Several Dongchang eunuchs were stunned. What does this mean in the execution room - to kidnap the eldest lady of the Guangming family?
"Why are you still standing there, taking action?" Cang Qiao raised the corners of her delicate lips gloomily, looking at the pale Ming Lanruo.
