Finally relented...

Song Xuanlin and Rong Sheng both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Miaoying, we hope that what you are doing is not difficult."

Rong Sheng rolled his eyes slightly, "You just need to cry in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty Ming Wang will take care of the rest. He will definitely ensure that you and the baby in your belly will not die."

"His Royal Highness Prince Ming?"

Miaoying faced the light and saw Song Xuanlin's stern face clearly, only then did she understand the complicated involvement.

"Okay, Miaoying will follow your orders, my Lord."

"Lu Yue, find a good room for Miss Miaoying."

"It's the prince."

As the two left, the room suddenly became silent.

Rong Sheng glanced at the silent Song Xuanlin and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She was about to walk out: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the Marquis' Mansion first. Goodbye."

"Wait a minute-"

Song Xuanlin hurriedly called her to stop, and then stuffed an exquisite jade bottle into her hand, "This is the scar removal ointment given to me by the emperor. It has a miraculous effect on scars."

As he spoke, he looked at the knife scar at the corner of Rong Sheng's mouth and tried his best to resist the urge to touch Rong Sheng's cheek.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness..." Rong Sheng was stunned for a moment, then took the jade bottle in her hand, and finally felt a little embarrassed.

She didn't dare to say a word and ran out of the room.

Only Song Xuanlin was left staring at her leaving figure in a daze.

————

Time flies, and the day of execution of King Jing'an and others is approaching.

This morning, Rong Sheng was still woken up by Rong Dexin who suddenly broke in.

"Sheng'er, don't forget what day it is today!"

Rong Sheng stretched and rubbed her sleepy eyes: "My daughter remembers it, father, don't worry."

But Rong Dexin still looked anxious, and was very worried about Rong Sheng's leisurely attitude: "Have you thought about what to say when you get to the Ministry of Justice?"

"My daughter understands, so she said it was to send Rong Jin off for the last time."

"Oh, these are certainly not enough." Rong Dexin sighed and shook his head.

Rong Sheng blinked and finally came to his senses. He asked knowingly, "Father, do you mean that this is inappropriate?"

"It's not inappropriate, but have you forgotten the silver?"

"You need money for a simple visit?"

Rong Sheng looked a little silly: "Just explain it. Besides, my daughter doesn't have any money."

When Rong Dexin heard this, he took out a box from his hand and said, "These are ten thousand taels, you can take them all."

"That's a lot! Father doesn't need it, right?"

Rong Sheng pretended to be surprised, but he was actually very happy inside.

Old man, if you let me do the legwork myself, you'll have to pay for it.

"You are just too naive. There are so many people in the Ministry of Justice, and they must be taken care of."

"OK then."

Rong Sheng accepted the silver reluctantly.

Afterwards, at Rong Dexin's repeated urging, she finally got on the carriage with the disguised Ruixiang.

The car started to move slowly, and Rong Sheng opened the snack box beside him and took a look.

"Rui Xiang, these are delicious, please have some."

Ruixiang's eyes lit up as she looked at the exquisite snacks that Rongsheng handed over.

She had never seen such delicious food before.

Swallowing her saliva, she took it respectfully: "Thank you, Princess."

Rong Sheng looked at Ruixiang eating like a little rabbit and felt pity for her: "Thank you for your hardship in prison these few days."

"My life was saved by the princess, so please don't torture me." Ruixiang said with a smile while eating.

"Did you remember everything I taught you last night?"

"I remember everything, Princess, don't worry."

Rong Sheng knew Ruixiang was smart, so she nodded happily and opened the secret layer under the snack box: "When you get to prison, wrap the cloth in the box around your waist and don't let anyone find it."

"Understood, my lord."

The two of them ate and talked all the way, and soon arrived in front of the criminal department.

Rong Sheng got out of the car, took out the prepared silver and food box, and came to the gate of the Ministry of Justice.

"My two lords, I am the Princess Yong'an of the Rongguo Marquisate. Rong Jin is my sister," Rong Sheng introduced herself neither servilely nor arrogantly. Although the two guards had been knocked unconscious by her, she remained calm and said, "The execution is imminent. I just want to come and see her. Please give me a favor."

"Princess Yong'an?"

The two guards, one tall and one short, looked at each other, with some hesitation on their faces.

The tall guard spoke first: "Forgive me for being so rude, but please show me your badge. This is the rule of the Ministry of Justice, please understand."

"no problem."

Rong Sheng readily agreed, and handed over the badge along with two bags of silver: "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

"this......"

The two guards had indeed never seen such a large amount of money required for a bribe.

But the badge is real.

Is the Rongguo Marquisate so generous?

It's unacceptable not to release it...

The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally let down their guard: "Princess, please come this way!"

"Haha, thank you both very much."

Rong Sheng, with a forced smile on his face, was led by the short guard straight to the prison.

In fact, she was very familiar with the terrain here. As expected, the guards took her around a few corners and arrived at the death row.

These cells are allocated one per prisoner.

Feeling the gloomy atmosphere in the prison, Rong Sheng slowly walked in from the row where the female members of Prince Jing'an's palace were imprisoned.

Ruixiang followed Rong Sheng closely. She had never been to such a gloomy place.

It was not until this moment that she understood why the princess had just said that life in prison was hard.

Fortunately, the princess told her that these criminals were sentenced directly and did not need to be brought to trial again. She just needed to stay in prison and wait to be sent to the execution ground.

After a while, the guards finally brought Rong Sheng and the other man to the door of the cell where Rong Jin was imprisoned.

"My Lord, this is it."

"Please open the door, sir. I want to have a few words with my sister."

"This..." The guard hesitated and was about to refuse.

Rong Sheng suddenly stuffed another bag of silver into his hand.

The guard weighed it slightly and felt that it was heavier than the purse in front of the gate.

He immediately smiled, his eyes and eyebrows smiling, and his voice couldn't suppress his joy: "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

As he happily opened the cell, Rong Sheng nodded and entered the cell.

At this moment, Rong Jin was lying on a straw mat with his hair disheveled, facing the wall.

She seemed to be asleep and did not respond to any noise in the room.

Rong Sheng looked around and saw some leftovers scattered on the ground, giving off a sour and unpleasant smell.

The walls were also dilapidated and cracked, with the cracks in some places as wide as a finger, and the cold autumn wind came in through the gaps.

It made the already cold cell even colder.

"Sir, can you let me and my sister have a few words alone?"

"Uh, okay."

It would have been impossible at first, but the guard had two big money bags stuffed by Rong Sheng in his hands, so he couldn't refuse.

After the guards walked away, Rong Sheng turned his gaze back to Rong Jin's slender back.

"Sister Rongjin, why don't you turn back? I'm here to save you."
