Putting aside the current event, on the other side, while the two female public servants were teaching Lin Chujiu a lesson, Xiao Zian, who received the news, was trying to save Lin Chujiu, it’s just… …
This matter involves the life of the Seventh Prince. It’s not easy to clear Lin Chujiu’s name.
Although Xiao Zian was a favored prince, he was nothing but a crippled son. He was raised in the deep side of the palace. It’s impossible for him to sit on the throne. There was naturally no power in his hands. If he really wants to save Lin Chujiu, he has to go and ask his mother for help. Otherwise, it will really be impossible for him to save Lin Chujiu.
But… …
Xiao Zian doesn’t need to go to his mother and ask for help, he already knows that its absolutely impossible for her to save Lin Chujiu. If not because they owed Xiao w.a.n.gfu, his mother will definitely not deal with Lin Chujiu.
“I can only ask the Crown Prince.” Xiao Zian was feeling helpless, but he can’t think of another person aside from the Crown Prince.
*
At the east side of the palace, Xiao Zian successfully met the Crown Prince, but when he explained his intention. The Crown Prince refused to even think about it: “Third Brother, Xiao w.a.n.gfei poisoned seventh brother. Why would this crown prince save her?” Xiao Tianyao warned him not to make a move on Lin Chujiu, he agreed, but it doesn’t mean he will save her.
“Imperial Brother, the person who poisoned seventh brother is not Imperial Aunt. I can guarantee you that. Just please look at Imperial Uncle Xiao’s face, come forward and say fair words for Imperial Aunt. At least, let Imperial Aunt talk about her side.” Although there was no concrete evidence, from his viewpoint, he can see that someone was only trying to frame Lin Chujiu.
“Yes, but still, this crown prince refuses. Since you think Xiao w.a.n.gfei didn’t do this, imperial father will definitely give her a fair judgment. Third brother, you don’t have to worry.” The Crown Prince said with a smile. His smile looked very kind. Well, he was indeed very happy.
Xiao Zian, every dog has its day!
Don’t you always have imperial father’s love?
Don’t you always think you are on the top?
And yet, you are asking this crown prince for help.
Seeing Xiao Zian’s face full of worries, the Crown Prince gave ill advice: “Third brother, I don’t want to say this because we’re siblings, but is Xiao w.a.n.gfei’s crime has something to do with you? You are so worried about her, aren’t you afraid imperial father will get disappointed on you? You know that the person Xiao w.a.n.gfei poisoned is seventh brother. However, you’re not helping him, instead, you’re helping Xiao w.a.n.gfei, are you worthy to be called elder brother by Little Seven?”
The Crown Prince’s face was filled with malicious intent, he couldn’t hide it. He doesn’t feel embarra.s.sed a bit, and he was just enjoying confronting him.
A prince with no power, he doesn’t have any qualification to compete with him. Especially now, that he has Xiao Tianyao’s support.
When his persuasion failed, and he saw the malicious intention in the Crown Prince’s eyes. Xiao Zian had no choice but to pull back. He said with a bitter tone: “Imperial brother, I understand.”
The Crown Prince was afraid of their Imperial Uncle, he doesn’t dare to cause Lin Chujiu trouble. But, it also doesn’t mean that he will help her. Is the Crown Prince so stupid? Doesn’t he think that if their Imperial Uncle learned that he didn’t help Lin Chujiu he will no longer support him?
Crown Prince, you… … are really funny.
As Xiao Zian looked at the Crown Prince’s arrogant face. His heart gradually became cold. His eyes also gradually became firm.
He never had such a feeling before, a feeling of wanting to hold power. A feeling of wanting to dominate a person’s fate.
He is, in the end, an imperial prince!

While Xiao Zian helplessly searching the Crown Prince for help, Meng Daren also learned a lot of things in the palace. However, Meng Daren was hesitating to ask the emperor about this matter.
The Meng family is not stupid. Lin Chujiu had an accident on the day before the agreed date of treatment. If people will say that this incident has no connection to that, Meng Family will not believe it. But, what can they do?
* Every dog has its day – every person has a good or bad day.
If they want Lin Chujiu to cure Meng Xiuyuan, they need to go to the palace and ask the emperor’s permission, and then they will owe a favor to the emperor.
“I really don’t want to do that.” Meng Daren released a heavy sigh.
Their Meng family never got involved in these messy things, and he really doesn’t want to get involved in the dispute of the four countries. The four countries were in a chaotic state. If they joined this time, no doubt they will die in the end.
Meng Daren was hesitant. In order not to make decisions that he will regret, he went to find Meng Xiuyuan.
In the Meng family, Meng Xiuyuan is always the most rational one.
Meng Xiuyuan was sitting alone in the study room and playing chess against himself. He was not surprised at all to see his father coming. He put down the piece in his hand and got up to greet him.
Meng Daren nodded his head lightly, and then the two of them sat down. Meng Darren didn’t beat around the bush. He explained the situation to his son: “We found out that the poison found in the snacks, is related to Divine Doctor Mo’s daughter, Mo Yuer. She wanted to use the Seventh Prince’s death for Xiao w.a.n.gfei to die.”
The reason why they can find out this matter, was not because Meng Family is too powerful. But because Mo Yuer’s side is too weak. Her foundation in the palace was too shallow.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard of this, he only revealed a faint smile. And under Meng Daren’s gaze, he wrote: Don’t make a move.
“Is this really okay? What if the emperor deliberately put this crime on Xiao w.a.n.gfei’s head?” Meng Daren was not doubtful about this possibility. If they could found out this matter, why the emperor and empress will not?
We have an appointment date with Xiao w.a.n.gfei tomorrow. Whether Xiao w.a.n.gfei will arrive tomorrow or not, that is a matter Xiao w.a.n.gfu has to solve. Meng Xiuyuan wrote a very long paragraph, but his faint smile was not affected by his mood.
“We will just let it go? Xiao w.a.n.gye is not in the capital, who can save Xiao w.a.n.gfei?” Meng Daren frowned and looked very worried.
The woman Xiao w.a.n.gye will be fond of is definitely not simple. Let’s just wait for tomorrow to come. Meng Xiuyuan wrote without hesitation. He wrote with ease, he looked like not worried at all. Seeing his son like this, Meng Daren tried to suppress the anxiousness inside his heart.

Just like what Meng Xiuyuan was thinking, Lin Chujiu was not expecting any help from them. As for Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s people?
Lin Chujiu believes that the people Xiao Tianyao left will find out the truth. What she needs to do is to leave this prison and comply with her agreement with the Meng Family. So as to prevent the emperor’s conspiracy to succeed.
If it was before, Lin Chujiu will have a hard time to leave the palace prison. But now?
There were two female public servants sent by Princess Fushou Zhang. Lin Chujiu doesn’t think escaping is difficult.
The two female public servants don’t know why they suddenly lost their voice. When it happened, they were terrified. They also found that their feet were tied and they couldn’t move at all.
“Hmm…mmm” The two female public servants were really scared this time. They curled up their body in the corner and s.h.i.+vered in fear. They didn’t dare to look at Lin Chujiu anymore.
Lin Chujiu didn’t bother to completely take care of them. She only said to them to lick-clean the food, she didn’t force them to do so, but the two were very scared of her. If Lin Chujiu will make another drastic move, maybe the two will definitely eat the foods on the ground.
In the eyes of two female public servants, Lin Chujiu was terrible. Such fierceness, such violent actions, she was not like a pampered lady at all.
The two female public servants didn’t dare to move. The palace guard outside, who received an order earlier, also didn’t dare to move.
The two female public servants just curled up themselves in the corner the whole night, they didn’t dare to close their eyes. On the other hand, Lin Chujiu sat on the stone chair for one night. From time to time, she walked around with a pleasant face.
When the sun shone through the small window, Lin Chujiu got up and went to close to the sunlight. She bathed herself under the sun, then swept her eyes over to the two female public servants… …
