The Minister of Justice insisted, "This case has been under investigation for several months, and we have all the evidence. How can we easily overturn it and reopen it? Lord Li, don't forget that the deadline set by the emperor has come. We don't have extra time to let a madman mess around."

The Dali Temple Minister thought for a moment and said, "In fact, whether to overturn the case and reopen it depends on whether the murdered woman is still alive. If the murdered woman is still alive, it is enough to prove that Xu Xingzhi's words are not crazy talk. This case must be overturned and reopened."

At this point, the Minister of Justice had to respond, "Okay, then let's do as Lord Li said. I will send someone to inform the murdered woman Jiang. If Jiang can appear in the court before dark, the case will be reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty will decide whether to re-investigate and re-examine. If Jiang fails to appear, I will not allow this official to..."

Before the Minister of Justice could finish his words, he was interrupted by a clear female voice, "Your Excellency, there is no need to send anyone to pass the message. I, Jiang Tang, am here."

Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a frail woman squeezing out from the crowd.

The woman had unkempt hair and a dirty face, and was wearing a patched coarse cloth dress. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary farm woman, but if you look closely, you will find that her facial features are extremely beautiful, especially her pair of deer eyes, which are watery and bright and seem to be able to captivate people.

"Sugar, sugar!" Xu Xingzhi opened his cracked lips several times before calling out his wife's name. His eyes were blurred with tears and he didn't dare blink, for fear that if he blinked, he would no longer be able to see the person in front of him.

Jiang Tang also shed tears, but she did not dare to look at Xu Xingzhi, whom she had not seen for several months. She was afraid of seeing disgust in her husband's eyes.

"Are you Jiang Tang?" The Minister of Justice said in disbelief.

Jiang Tang knelt down and said, "I am indeed Jiang Tang, the wife of the Xu family. My husband and neighbors can all testify to this."

With a crisp "ding-dang" sound, the dagger in Xu Xingzhi's hand fell to the ground. He stumbled to Jiang Tang, hugged Jiang Tang and burst into tears.

Jiang Tang could no longer hold back her emotions and she bit her lips and cried until she couldn't speak.

When the couple who had survived the disaster met each other, one cried sadly, while the other cried forbearingly, and many people cried along with them.

The facts are before our eyes, and there is no need to investigate or collect evidence any further. The Jiang Tang that appears before our eyes is Jiang Tang, and he is not dead at all.

"I, Jiang Tang, was forced to lose my child by Prince Rui. Fortunately, I was saved by the rescue of Prince Rong. Today, I am willing to risk my life to ask the upright official to judge for me and for my mother-in-law who died tragically, and to bring the murderer to justice." Jiang Tang kowtowed while crying, her voice full of tears and every word she said was heart-wrenching.

The reason why she was still willing to live in this world was that she hoped to seek justice for her unborn child and mother-in-law one day.

As long as she can make King Rui pay the price for the crime, she is willing to sacrifice a hundred lives.

The Minister of Justice's brain seemed to have exploded and he stood there for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing this, the Dali Temple Minister hurriedly said, "I will report the case to His Majesty truthfully. Once His Majesty finds out the cause of the case, I will give you two a reasonable explanation."

Seeing that the case was solved, Yu Wantai, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly said, "It seems that this case has nothing to do with me, can I leave now?"

The Minister of Justice came back to his senses and forced a smile, "Of course you can, please do as you wish, my Lord."

When Yu Wantai heard this, he wanted to turn around, but Xu Xingzhi and Jiang Tang both knelt in front of him.

"Thank you, my Lord, for saving my life. If I cannot repay you in this life, I will work like a slave in the next life to repay you!" Jiang Tang's eyes were full of sincere gratitude.

Although she looked dazed that day, she also heard the sound of the villain being beaten. Regardless of whether Prince Rong saved her life or not, she should be grateful for his chivalrous help.

Xu Xingzhi also kowtowed heavily, his gratitude fully expressed in words.

"Take care, both of you!" Yu Wantai said without further ado. He nodded slightly at the two of them, then turned and left.

When he came, he was faced with angry and contemptuous looks, but when he left, he was greeted with countless awe-inspiring eyes. The feeling of being respected and admired was something Yu Wantai had never experienced in the past twenty-one years.

Passing through the crowd, we saw the carriage of Prince Rong's Mansion waiting at the street corner, and standing next to the carriage was a beautiful young lady with a smiling face like a flower.

The girl wore a peach pink narrow-sleeved skirt and had her hair in a simple lily bun. Her simple outfit was even more eye-catching than the peach blossoms in full bloom in March.

The people who were watching the fun and the passers-by all stopped to look sideways, wondering which family the fairy-like beautiful girl belonged to.

Seeing Yu Wantai walking out of the crowd, Yan Muxi greeted him with joy, "Is the prince okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Yu Wantai paused and subconsciously took a small step back.

Seeing this, Yan Muxi didn't dare to move forward. The joy on her face faded away in an instant, and a hint of grievance unconsciously appeared in her watery eyes.

Yu Wantai couldn't bear to watch, and explained softly: "It's dirty, I stink too much!"

Realizing that he was not distancing himself from her, Yan Muxi instantly narrowed her eyes, jumped forward and grabbed his sleeve, "Come on, let's go home, we can wash ourselves clean and it won't stink anymore!"

"Okay, let's go home!" Yu Wantai responded softly, hiding the tears in his eyes with a smile.

Even after the carriage had gone far away, the discussions at the street corner continued.

"The girl just now was so beautiful. I wonder which family she belongs to?"

"The one who came to pick up Prince Rong must be Prince Rong's wife! I only heard that the second daughter of the Yan family was an uneducated idiot, but I didn't expect that idiot to be so beautiful!"

"God damn it, Prince Rui actually put the blame on Prince Rong's son for his evil deeds. How could the prince be interested in a married woman when he sees his angel-like wife every day?"

"The Crown Prince's Consort is beautiful, but unfortunately she is an ignorant fool."

"What's wrong with a straw bag? Prince Rong is still a good-for-nothing dude! A straw bag and a dude are a perfect match!"

……

In the carriage, seeing Yan Muxi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, Yu Wantai couldn't help but joked, "Are you so happy to see me, the prince?"

Yan Muxi's smile disappeared for a moment, and then returned to its worthless smile. "Well, I am very happy that the prince can come back safely. Don't you think I shouldn't be happy?"

"Of course the Crown Princess should be happy." Yu Wantai paused and said after a moment, "I am also very happy to see you as soon as I get off the hall." His tone seemed a little embarrassed.

"After so much worry and fear for a long time, we are right to be happy that the Crown Prince has been cleared of the stain... Has the Crown Prince been punished after being imprisoned for several months?" Yan Muxi subconsciously moved closer to Yu Wantai, wanting to see if he had any injuries on his body. The unpleasant fishy smell entered his nostrils and he retreated.

Forget it, as long as the dog prince is alive and well, it doesn’t seem to be important to her whether he is injured or not.

Yu Wantai smiled and said, "I am the most honorable prince of Rong in Dafeng. No one dares to punish me without the emperor's authorization." What he didn't say was that there was one exception.

Hearing Yu Wantai say this, Yan Muxi suddenly remembered the caning he had received before. Could it be that it was also ordered by the emperor?
