Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Just in time, I also want to meet Prince Xiang and Princess."

Previously, when Yang Fei and the Marquis of Zhenbei left the capital, there was no one in the prison to help him, and Jiang Lianzhu did not dare to act rashly.

Now, with Yang Fei acting as the temporary governor of the Six Gates, she can enter the Heavenly Prison again and meet Prince Xiang and the Crown Prince's family.

Yang Fei arranged.

In the dark night, Jiang Lianzhu, disguised as a jailer, came in again.

"You are indeed a well-connected guy."

In the sky prison, he recognized the jailer dressed as Jiang Lianzhu and said with envy.

"A master like you who is not very agile in doing things can still stay here. If you say there is no one behind you, I don't believe it!"

"..."

Jiang Lianzhu didn't expect that the jailer would make assumptions about her.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, so I took out some broken silver from my body and stuffed it out, saying with an apologetic smile.

"Brother, please don't tell anyone about the fact that I didn't do it on time."

The other party weighed the scraps of silver in his hand and looked at Jiang Lianzhu, although her hands and feet were not very agile, but she had good eyesight.

"I don't have time to mind your business!"

Holding the pieces of silver in his hand, the jailer looked for a place to go happily.

With so many connections in Kyoto, he didn't know the details of the people behind Jiang Lianzhu, so he would not meddle in others' affairs rashly.

After dismissing the other party, Jiang Lianzhu approached Prince Xiang's family.

After not seeing each other for several days, their living environment in the prison became even worse. As for the crown prince, Xue Yin, his body was suffering from new injuries on top of old ones.

"Sorry, something happened outside, so I couldn't come in to see you."

Jiang Lianzhu apologized to the people in the prison, and then stuffed the prepared medicine from her sleeve to Princess Xiang.

When the princess heard Jiang Lianzhu's words, she burst into tears. She held Jiang Lianzhu's hand through the iron pillars of the prison, with sadness on her face.

"Child, we have heard about it, you don't have to hide it."

The news that Liao Yunchuan died in the explosion spread all over the capital. In the end, even the prison was not spared.

But this was not Jiang Lianzhu's original intention to make things worse.

"Miss Jiang, the fault of this matter lies with Prince Xiang's Mansion. If Mr. Liao had not gone to reverse the case for us that day, nothing would have happened."

Regarding Liao Yunchuan's incident, Prince Xiang blamed himself very much. He seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and most of the hope in his eyes was gone.

Regarding Prince Xiang's Mansion, Liao Yunchuan was the person most likely to help them investigate the truth.

Now that Liao Yunchuan is gone, it will be extremely difficult for Prince Xiang's Mansion to overturn the case.

Seeing this, Jiang Lianzhu felt worried.

"Your Majesty, Princess, you are not to blame for this matter. It is the people behind the scenes with evil intentions who are at fault."

"It is very likely that Mr. Liao suffered this misfortune because he was close to the truth."

Xue Yin lowered his eyebrows and faced Jiang Lianzhu shamelessly.

Looking inside the prison, Prince Xiang's family was dejected and blamed themselves. The prison was not a place for people. Jiang Lianzhu was worried that they would have to endure it any longer, so she took a deep look at the prince and suddenly said.

"There is no big deal in this world, and there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome. All you need to do is cry a few more times and it will be over."

When the princess heard this, she felt even more sorry for Jiang Lianzhu.

In grief, he turned around and broke into the old prince's arms and cried loudly. The crown prince Xue Yin kept staring at Jiang Lianzhu, as if he understood.

It is not advisable to stay in the prison for a long time.

After Jiang Lianzhu delivered the things, she turned around and left the prison. As soon as she left, Prince Xiang's family in the prison burst into tears.

She did not return home immediately, but instead took a detour into a nearby alley after leaving.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to leave in a hurry.

"Ma'am, we are being followed."

Yang Fei waited until the man left before showing up.

"Someone talked to me in the sky prison just now, and I became suspicious, so I didn't join you directly."

Jiang Lianzhu doesn't believe anyone now.

After the jailer targeted her, he realized the problem, so he temporarily changed his strategy.

"Since some people are suspicious of Madam, it seems that Madam should not go to the sky prison in the future."

"We'll talk about that later."

Prince Xiang's family has not been rescued yet, so she cannot allow Prince Xiang to be persecuted in the prison and stand idly by. At the moment, she only hopes that the prince can understand the hint she just gave.

Jiang Lianzhu shook off the pursuer and returned to Lihuayuan again.

Ever since the imperial edict was announced, Jiang Lianzhu never left the house and stayed at home. Outsiders looked at her because of Liao Yunchuan's death, but they thought she was in pain and felt her life was boring, so she did not go out to visit friends or relatives.

Jiang Lianzhu doesn't care what people outside think, she just lives her own life behind closed doors.

This act of hers can avoid the temptation of many people who have good intentions.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

An edict was sent to the palace announcing that Jiang Lianzhu, the third grade imperial edict, was ordered to enter the palace.

"Shopkeeper, the palace has announced that you will be admitted to the palace. Is there something wrong?"

Liu Qingqing frowned.

"No, I have been paying attention to the movements in the palace these days, madam, and I haven't noticed anything unusual."

Yang Fei and Liu Qingqing were both very concerned about this matter.

"There's no point in guessing here. You might as well go into the palace and find out then."

Jiang Lianzhu stopped the two of them, took her maid with her, and followed the palace attendants who announced the decree into the palace.

In fact, she also had doubts in her heart.

Now that all the officials in the court are sleeping, His Majesty summoned her at this time, it could only be about Liao Yunchuan.

However, after entering the palace, Jiang Lianzhu realized that even she had guessed wrong.

Your Majesty met her in the East Palace, not in the Qinzheng Palace.

"See Your Majesty."

"Mrs. Liao, please stand up. I have no choice but to announce your admission to the palace today. The prince is seriously ill and unconscious. I wonder if you can cure him?"

Your Majesty loves his son so much that he directly waives the courtesy.

Jiang Lianzhu also realized that the situation was serious, so she didn't waste time and followed the palace doctor directly to the prince's bed.

After some diagnosis and treatment, Jiang Lianzhu discovered that the prince was already seriously ill.

"Doctor Li, I want to hear your opinion."

Jiang Lianzhu did not make a diagnosis immediately, but asked Dr. Li who had been treating the prince for a long time.

"Mrs. Liao, I am incompetent. When it comes to the prince's body, I and everyone at the Imperial Hospital have already exhausted their skills."

They have already used whatever methods are available.

Otherwise, Jiang Lianzhu would not have been announced to the palace at this time.

"Mrs. Liao, is it really impossible to save Gu's son?" His Majesty was horrified and heartbroken when he saw Jiang Lianzhu asking the imperial doctor.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is already weak. The weather is cold in winter and he needs more careful care. Now, the Crown Prince has a high fever and the inflammation has entered his lungs."

The prince was born frail and deficient from his mother's womb. If he was raised quietly for the rest of his life, it would be fine to be a wealthy and idle person. However, as a prince, he has this wealth but cannot achieve leisure.

Inflammation enters the lungs. If one were born in modern times, it would still be possible to treat it. Here, even Jiang Lianzhu has no way.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing I can do...".
