After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"Mother, the world is fair and just. I believe the judge will clear our name." Nan Yuan comforted her.

This is the imperial palace, the most law-abiding place in the world. Even if the Chu family extends their hands further, they can never interfere with the royal rules.

Chu Yunni looked down at Princess Xie and listened to Nan Yuan's words as if she had heard a joke. She walked to Nan Yuan and lowered her voice and said in Nan Yuan's ear: "I know what you are thinking. I can't control the truth, but it's okay to let you suffer a little. You are young and strong, you can hold on, but look at her, she is old, if she is tortured in prison, can she come back intact?"

Nan Yuan clenched her hands tightly at her sides, her nails digging into her palms, but she felt no pain.

Although she felt unfair, Chu Yunni's words were undeniable.

Her arms are not that long and she cannot fabricate facts. As long as they did not do these things, they will definitely be acquitted in the end.

Justice will never be absent, but if it is late, the only ones left are themselves.

She is strong and healthy now. Even if she is punished, she will just suffer a little and will definitely not die.

But Princess Xie is different. She has lived a life of luxury over the years. Plus, she is old. If she continues to live in the cell, even if she is not tortured, her body will not be able to bear it.

Instead of going into the cell with two people, it would be better to save one of them while he can think of a solution outside.

"This villain has nothing to do with Princess Xie. She knows nothing. Let her go." Nan Yuan said.

"Ha! Who do you think you are? Whatever you say goes." Chu Yunni snorted coldly, not intending to let either of them go.

Nan Yuan looked at Chu Yunni with cold eyes. She knew that Chu Yunni was targeting her in this matter, and being related to Princess Xie was just an unprovoked disaster.

She took a deep breath and silently repeated it three times based on the way Xie Luochen taught her to get along with others some time ago, but she still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

It was really impossible for her to be nice to Chu Yunni.

Moreover, Chu Yunni is not the type of person who would quit when she is ahead. From her plan today, it can be seen that she has no intention of letting them go at all.

Instead of swallowing your anger, it is better to argue with reason.

"You can not release us, but we can also make a big fuss. You should know better than me that if this matter gets out of hand, the Ministry of Punishment will not be able to try us. In other words, if we make the case to the Dali Temple, then all your plans will fail."

Nan Yuan knew very well that Chu Yunni had gone to so much trouble to set up today's event just to make her suffer. She just wanted to see her in pain and be tortured. This would satisfy her perverted psychology. If she couldn't see it with her own eyes, then what was the point of the show she had put together today?

Nan Yuan accurately calculated Chu Yunni's psychology.

Chu Yunni was stunned for a moment, then said, "Make a big fuss? How big a fuss can you make? How big a fuss do you want to make?"

Nan Yuan raised her eyes, looked at Chu Yunni coldly, and said lightly: "For example, killing someone."

"When a rabbit is cornered, it will jump over the wall. Princess Yun Ni should be very clear about my skills, right?"

"If we bring this to the Empress, I probably won't be able to win. But if I accidentally hurt Princess Yun Ni, I'm not sure about that." Nan Yuan threatened openly.

Chu Yunni was so angry that her teeth were itching. This woman was really crazy. She even dared to threaten to kill people.

But she really didn't dare to act rashly. Her life was very precious and could not be compared with Nan Yuan's worthless life.

Chu Yunni forced a smile and said, "Since you admit that this thing is yours, I will naturally not implicate the innocent."

"Someone, throw her out of the palace."

Chu Yunni didn't mind releasing Princess Xie. She had no animosity towards Princess Xie. The purpose of setting up this trap was to make Nan Yuan leave her life here.

It doesn't matter if we release Princess Xie. Even if we call for help, it's too late.

But, Nan Yuan's life must be saved.

"This……"

The palace maid behind her was a little hesitant. According to the rules, Princess Xie was supposed to come to meet the Queen Mother today. What if the Queen Mother could not see her and blamed her? What should she do?

Chu Yunni saw that the maid behind her didn't listen to her orders, and anger rose between her eyebrows. She raised her hand and slapped the maid hard on the face: "Didn't you understand what I said? Why don't you go and throw her out for me? Do you want me to do it myself?"

"I will handle the explanation for Her Majesty the Queen. You don't need to worry about it."

"Yes, Princess." The palace maid behind her was stunned by the slap and answered quickly.

Chu Yunni glanced at Nan Yuan and said coldly, "Take her to the Ministry of Punishment and wait for her fate."

When Princess Xie passed by Nan Yuan, her eyes were filled with tears and she wanted to speak, but because her mouth was blocked by something, she couldn't say anything and could only make some whimpering sounds.

When Nan Yuan passed by her, she whispered in her ear: "Go find Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Nan Yuan was not someone so foolish as to surrender without a fight. She thought about the consequences. If both of them were arrested together, then she would be helpless.

Others didn't even know what happened to them in the palace. Only by letting Princess Xie go out and inform the public would people know what happened to them in the palace and think of ways to rescue themselves.

As for why Princess Xie was asked to find Her Royal Highness the Princess instead of Gu Jingheng.

Firstly, it was not so easy to meet the prince; secondly, Gu Jingheng had too many concerns, and he probably only thought that he was just suffering a little, which would not make him offend Chu Yunni.

If she asked Gu Jingheng for help, she would probably stay in the Ministry of Punishment for a long time and would owe him a favor.

She didn't know what he would use this favor to force her to do, but it would definitely not be something good.

Nan Yuan let out a breath. That would lead to a tangled mess and she didn't want that.

It would be best to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for help.

It doesn't matter who you owe a favor to, but owing a favor to Her Royal Highness the Princess is much better than owing a favor to Gu Jingheng. At least she knows how to repay it.

Princess Xie stared, and when she saw Nan Yuan's determined eyes, she suddenly felt panic in her heart. She felt that this matter might not be that simple.

Nan Yuan accepted this matter for her sake. This is no small matter. If it goes wrong, he may lose his head.

She gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything and was escorted towards the palace gate.

Her steps were heavy, as if they were filled with lead.

She also knew in her heart that Nan Yuan's fate was now in her hands.

"Get out of here!" The eunuch pushed Princess Xie out and said coldly.

Princess Xie's clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, and she looked in a state of disarray.

This time he did not argue with the eunuchs, nor did he care about his own dignity. He just gathered all his strength and ran towards the Princess's Mansion.

Nan Yuan's life depends on her.
