Chapter 419 Imprisonment
Su Qing clenched her teeth, her whole body trembling slightly. She didn't dare to look up and meet Princess Shaohua's eyes. She felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at her heart, and she was panicked and terrified.
Su Wanrong took the opportunity to say, "Princess, this is absolutely true. Su Qing saw it with her own eyes, it can't be false." Su Qing's heart sank when she heard this. She felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, as if she had fallen into a bottomless black hole and couldn't escape.
Princess Shaohua looked at the two of them, with doubts in her heart: "I will investigate it carefully. If there is any lie, you will all bear the consequences." After that, she turned and left, ready to report to the emperor.
Only Su Wanrong and Su Qing were left in the room. Su Wanrong showed a smug smile on her face: "Su Qing, you are quite sensible. However, you'd better pray that this matter doesn't come to light, otherwise, hum!" Su Qing clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her nails almost digging into her flesh. Her heart was full of fear of the unknown and regret for her original choice.
Su Qing quietly packed up the delivery equipment, her heart filled with fear and regret. She knew that if the truth came out, she would face a catastrophe, but what could she do now? She recalled the time when Su Wanrong coerced and lured her, and her heart was filled with helplessness and self-blame.
Not long after, the emperor hurried over and looked at the baby in the cradle with a complicated expression on his face. "Su Qing, are you sure this is my child?" The emperor stared at Su Qing with a sharp gaze.
Su Qing fell to her knees with a plop, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty, it is...it is true." At this moment, Su Qing was extremely frightened, she knew that her answer might determine her life or death, but she dared not tell the truth.
The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "If you tell even a single lie, I will never forgive you." Su Qing's heart tightened instantly, as if it was being pinched by an invisible big hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
At this moment, a palace maid suddenly ran over and whispered something in the emperor's ear. The emperor's face changed drastically and he shouted angrily: "Put Su Wanrong and Su Qing in jail and wait for me to find out the truth!"
Su Qing felt the world spinning and everything went dark before her eyes. As she was dragged away by the guards, her mind went blank and her heart was filled with despair.
Su Wanrong and Su Qing were roughly dragged away by the guards. All the way, Su Wanrong kept shouting, "Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this. This child is really yours!"
Su Qing's face was pale, she couldn't say a word, her heart was filled with despair. She couldn't understand why she was in such a desperate situation, she just felt that fate was too cruel to her.
The prison was dark and damp, and the stench was so strong that it made people feel sick. Su Wanrong's originally delicate face was now distorted beyond recognition. She was still unwilling to accept the consequences, and she cursed Su Qing hysterically, "It's all because of you, a useless thing. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state!"
Su Qing looked around with a tired face. The filthy environment made her feel even more depressed. She angrily retorted: "How dare you say that I am useful? Are you useful? If you are useful, why would you do such a thing? And it brought you to this end? It's obviously you who harmed me! It doesn't matter if you insist on committing suicide, but you should not drag others into it!
I tell you, if it weren't for the safety and reputation of my whole family, do you think I would be willing to help you? I'm really blinded by greed!" After saying that, Su Qing sat down slowly against the cold and damp wall with despair in her heart, her eyes empty, as if her soul had been drained out.
This helpless situation finally dawned on me. What was Jiang Weiyang doing? Would he save me? At this moment, Su Qing was expecting Jiang Weiyang, but she was also afraid of getting him into trouble. She was extremely tormented.
Su Wanrong had just finished giving birth after a difficult time, and her body was still very weak, yet she suffered such unbearable treatment. She was filled with resentment and had nowhere to vent it, so she could not help but vent all her anger on Su Qing, cursing her non-stop, and her words were like sharp blades, stabbing Su Qing one by one.
However, Su Qing just looked at her indifferently, treating her as an insignificant ant. Su Qing thought, let her do whatever she wants! Anyway, no matter what the final result is, Su Wanrong will inevitably die, so why should she bother with a dead person who is about to disappear?
It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are kind. People like Su Wanrong should not be alive in this world. It is really unfortunate that someone like this could be born into a family that could exterminate nine generations of a family.
Now Su Qing only hopes that Jiang Weiyang can find out earlier and rescue her.
In the study of the Marquis' Mansion, "What did you say? Madam was imprisoned? Was it the Emperor's order? Do you know the specific reason?" Jiang Weiyang was shocked after hearing Rufeng's words. He knew that Su Qing was always cautious and would not make a big mistake, so how could she be imprisoned?
"My Lord, the news that Ruyi has found out is that Madam helped the Concubine Xian to confuse the real with the fake and confuse the heir to the throne."
"Impossible, Qing'er would never do such a thing." Jiang Weiyang believed Su Qing, there must be something hidden. He must save Su Qing. After thinking again and again, he spoke again: "Rufeng, go and get the imperial sword given to me by the emperor."
Rufeng quickly took out the imperial sword, and Jiang Weiyang held it tightly in his hand, his eyes firm and resolute.
"Rufeng, prepare the horse, I want to go to the palace to meet the emperor." After Jiang Weiyang said this, he strode out.
With the emperor's favor, Jiang Weiyang successfully met the emperor.
"Your Majesty, my wife Su Qing would never do such a treasonous thing. There must be a misunderstanding. I hope Your Majesty can see through it." Jiang Weiyang knelt on the ground and saluted, speaking earnestly.
The emperor frowned and said, "Lord Jiang, the evidence is irrefutable and I am deeply saddened. Please do not plead for her anymore."
Jiang Weiyang raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Su Qing is the most clear-headed minister. She is kind and upright, and will never do such a thing to confuse the heir to the throne. Please give me some time to find out the truth."
The emperor looked solemn and said, "My dear Jiang, I appreciate your loyalty and your many military achievements. But this matter concerns the royal bloodline, and I cannot easily condone it."
Jiang Weiyang said quickly: "Your Majesty, I understand the seriousness of this matter. If the truth cannot be found, I am willing to take the blame with my wife. I only ask Your Majesty to give me a chance."
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you three days. If you can't find out the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Jiang Weiyang kowtowed and thanked the emperor: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
