Come Visit Me in Prison More Often!

"Yes!"

Receiving this affirmative answer.

Qin Muye gave a mocking smile, then leaned against the window frame and closed his eyes.

He was very tired.

His physical foundation was too poor; the journey here had indeed exhausted most of his stamina.

But more than that, he was mentally exhausted.

Bai Yuji was very honest, but whether she was honest or not no longer mattered.

Even if he hadn't come, he could have figured out most of the situation; the only reason he came was to reasonably put an end to the charade.

It was meaningless.

"Qin Muye! Qin Muye..."

Bai Yuji called out a few times, but received no response.

She felt a stifling tightness in her chest. She didn't know why Qin Muye had suddenly rushed here, but since he had arrived, he must have come harboring suspicions; asking a few more questions would surely have helped clarify the situation.

She was very angry.

She wasn't angry that Qin Muye was furious with her, because from Qin Muye's perspective, it would be unreasonable for him not to be.

She was just angry that even though they were enemies and she was merely seeking revenge, why did she feel guilty, and why was her first instinct to explain herself to him?

When she nodded and agreed to this plan, she had clearly anticipated the consequences; why was she still feeling sad now that the consequences had arrived?

And... Nanzhao hadn't revealed many flaws; she could have simply refused to admit anything, so why did she confess?

She took a deep breath, but the stifling sensation in her chest did not dissipate in the slightest. Gritting her teeth, she asked, "Qin Muye! Don't you want to ask a few more questions?"

Qin Muye didn't even open his eyes: "Ask what? Not cursing you is the last of my restraint."

"You!"

"You should be grateful that we have lived and died together, and that I still want to keep my life to get my aunt out, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here talking. Now, get out of my carriage!"

"Hoo..."

Bai Yuji took several deep breaths in a row before the darkness cleared from her vision. She reached into her robes, fumbled for a moment, and handed a pill to Qin Muye: "I can get off the carriage, but your blood and qi are in chaos right now. Take this first."

Qin Muye took the pill and threw it directly out the window: "Get off!"

Bai Yuji: "..."

A long silence followed.

She swallowed the "I'm sorry" that had reached her lips, then jumped off the carriage.

Qin Muye leaned against the window, closing his eyes to rest.

Right now, he had no other thoughts in his mind; he was only thinking about how to clear Qin Yanying of her charges.

The death penalty was impossible.

But a sentence of ten-plus years would be no problem at all.

At this critical juncture, the Emperor had to cater to the sentiments of both sides.

But Qin Muye felt she was innocent, so she shouldn't have to eat a single day of prison food.

However, in the vast Capital City, he had to find someone with enough weight to stand up for Qin Yanying.

Aside from Li Xingluo, he couldn't think of anyone who had the weight and might possibly help.

But the Qin Family and Li Xingluo couldn't even be called nodding acquaintances; they had absolutely no relationship.

Given the current situation in the Capital City, it was impossible for her not to cherish her own reputation.

Furthermore.

Even if Li Xingluo were truly willing to risk offending the faction of Demon Official to stand up for Qin Yanying, her weight alone would likely be far from enough.

So, was he really just going to watch helplessly as Qin Yanying was thrown into prison?

Although the Imperial Court wouldn't dare to truly take Qin Yanying's life.

But there were prisons and then there were prisons.

In some prisons, there was minor torture every three days and major torture every five.

In others, going inside was like going home, with food and supplies better than what was available outside.

So... how was he to break this deadlock?

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Someone knocked on the window frame: "Young General!"

Qin Muye quickly pulled back the curtain: "Is my aunt willing to see me?"

The Imperial Guard sighed: "The Instructor told you not to follow anymore, and to make sure you don't get involved in this matter at all."

Qin Muye was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to save your Instructor?"

The Imperial Guard nodded repeatedly: "We want to save them!"

Qin Muye lowered his voice and said: "Go tell Commander Chen to tear the roofs off all the carriages carrying the pregnant women and children. When you return to the city, let everyone see what has happened!"

"But..."

"Trust me!"

Flower boat.

"I can't do it anymore, cousin, I'm definitely done for!"

Wang Li, with dark circles under his eyes, lay on the floor and waved his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Qingqiu Ningning stood up from him with some disappointment and hooked her arm around Shen Jin: "Your cousin is useless. Shall we let Yu Shanjun join us instead?"

"Yu Shanjun is busy with his cultivation!"

Shen Jin waved his hand, then squatted down: "Li, from now on, Ningning won't just belong to the two of us. Seeing you perform like this, this brother is truly heartbroken. One shouldn't waste a spring night; do you want some potent supplements?"

Wang Li was somewhat tempted, but then he seemed to recall something and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no!"

He still remembered Shen Jin's performance like a god of war after popping those pills.

Although there were no visible side effects for now, he knew it must be damaging to one's foundation.

He hurriedly got up and put on his clothes: "Cousin, I haven't been home in a long time. I'm going home to rest for a few days."

"You're so weak!"

"I'm off!"

Wang Li left in a hurry, not expecting to bump into someone the moment he stepped outside.

The man merely frowned slightly before running quickly to Shen Jin: "Young Master, something big has happened at the city gate!"

"Big? What kind of big thing?"

Shen Jin grabbed Qingqiu Ningning's slender waist, lifting and lowering her without a care for anyone else.

The man quickly recounted what he had seen.

"For real!?"

Shen Jin's eyes lit up, and he even stopped his movements. He couldn't help but look up and laugh: "Good, good, good! A fine Qin Yanying, daring to kill even Hu Huan's wife and children. I'd like to see how you survive this! Let's go, let's go watch the show!"

Qingqiu Ningning looked a bit displeased as she glanced at Wang Li: "Stinky cousin, what grudge does the Qin Family have with your cousin?"

Wang Li held his waist and grinned: "Last time Qin Muye was kidnapped, Qin Yanying took her anger out on us and dislocated my cousin's hip."

"Oh..."

Qingqiu Ningning looked thoughtful, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

Seeing Shen Jin fumbling with his clothes in his haste, it was clear he was excited to a certain degree.

With a wave of her slender hand, she put on her clothes as well.

Following Shen Jin, they called out to their friends and boarded a boat toward the shore.

Everyone was there to watch the spectacle.

On the way, a group of second-generation demons cursed incessantly, their voices denouncing Qin Yanying ringing out endlessly; after all, that name was notoriously infamous in the circle of Demon Official.

"Qin Yanying doesn't take us seriously at all!"

"She dared to kill Hu Huan's wife and children; wouldn't killing us be as easy as slaughtering chicks?"

"We absolutely cannot let her be this arrogant!"

"Brother Shen, should Qin Yanying be dead this time?"

"Heh..."

Shen Jin sneered: "Rest assured! For the Great Gan to return to its peak, all of your fathers have rendered great service, especially the Yayu family. His Majesty sees it, and the hundred officials see it too. They will never let Qin Yanying get away with this easily!

I just heard that the team escorting Qin Yanying made no attempt to cover it up; everyone knows exactly what happened at a glance.

Only Hu Huan's wife and children are dead, while the human race hasn't suffered any harm at all.

This matter is not going to be small!"

His cheeks were flushed with excitement.

He had originally thought it would take a long time to get revenge for the bitter loss he suffered last time.

But who would have thought!

He had underestimated the Qin Family's ability to stir up trouble.

Last time, Qin Muye was kidnapped, yet I suffered an undeserved disaster.

This time, let's see how you all die!

The carriage sped wildly.

Soon, it arrived at Xuanwu Street.

This road connects the Imperial Palace directly to the North Gate of the Capital City, and the escort procession is heading down this very path.

He leaped onto the roof of the carriage, excitedly sizing up the escort team. Seeing Qin Yanying bound tightly, his face twisted into a grin: "Good, good, good! It really is her!"

Wang Li pointed at the carriage behind: "Cousin, look! Qin Muye!"

"Hahaha! He's finished too!"

"Isn't that a bit extreme?"

"How could it be extreme!"

Shen Jin said excitedly: "This matter has blown up completely. Anyone involved won't be able to escape! Even if it has nothing to do with him, he won't avoid being grounded!"

Wang Li suddenly pointed in a certain direction: "Cousin, that woman—why do I feel like she looks familiar?"

Shen Jin followed his gaze, and his expression instantly stiffened.

Damn it!

Isn't that Qingtiao?

Why is she here too?

This incident has escalated too far; everyone is going to be investigated thoroughly. If they trace the Qingtiao line...

He felt numb!

Listening to the whispers of the crowd along Xuanwu Avenue.

This matter is truly going to blow up; anyone involved won't be able to escape.

Including himself...

Wang Li: "Cousin, Cousin, why did you suddenly stop laughing?"

Shen Jin: "???"

Imperial Princess Mansion.

"What!?"

Li Xingluo stood up abruptly.

Pu Mingzhu said in a deep voice: "The incident happened suddenly, and no one could react in time. Imperial Princess, what should we do?"

Li Xingluo frowned and pondered for a long time, then sighed softly: "If there were casualties among the human pregnant women and children, this case might still be worth fighting for. But now... if we act rashly, we will only disrupt our own arrangements.

Nanny, send people to secretly protect the families of those pregnant women and children, but do not reveal your identities.

Beyond that, do nothing!

This trap is beyond saving, even for a god!"
