No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

"What did you say?" The Second Prince's Concubine Feng Jiaojiao shouted in a loud voice, causing everyone to look at her sideways.

Yuwen Bo stood up in disgust and waved away Xue Qingqing's hand that was grabbing him, angrily scolding, "Xue Qingqing, you are so shameless. How dare you say such nonsense?"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Xue Qingqing was now in a panic. When she rejected the marriage proposal last time, she had expected that she would end up with the prince, and she would never even look at this young marquis again. But now, she had no other choice to save her life!

"Have you forgotten what happened in my room on the day of my mother's funeral?"

Xue Qingqing was afraid that others would not believe her, so she had to make it a reality. So she spoke even more recklessly.

"The young marquis also said that day that if I bring Jia's bride..." At this point, the young marquis bent down and anxiously covered Xue Qingqing's mouth, and said in a threatening tone, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"

Xue Qingqing seemed to understand something, and she held the young marquis's hands that were covering her mouth with both hands and nodded desperately!

Seeing that she complied, the young marquis whispered in Xue Qingqing's ear, "If you listen to me, I will save your life! Do you understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing this, the young marquis could not hold her captive for long, so he loosened his hand, changing his angry expression into one of embarrassment and timidity as he bowed before the main hall.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness Xuanyi. I had feelings for Miss Xue Er before, and I was planning to marry her. Your Highness knows this!"

The words "Your Highness knows!" left Yuwen Yuehua powerless to refute. It was indeed because Xue Yangyang was married to Tang Yuwei by the Queen Mother that she allowed the young marquis to get close to the second Miss Xue!

Seeing that Yu Wen Yue Hua was frightened by this, the young marquis continued, "But who knew that Miss Xue and I had some misunderstandings and refused the marriage. Who would have known what would happen now?"

The young marquis glanced at Xue Qingqing who was still crying there. He knew in his heart that she just wanted to save her life, and the pregnancy was probably a fabrication.

"Now that she is pregnant, please let me take her back home for the sake of the child! We can make plans after the child is born! After all, the child is innocent!"

"You're dreaming! What do you think my cousin will think if I bring such a despicable person back to your house?" Feng Jiaojiao didn't understand the deal he made with Yuwen Yuehua, she just wanted to speak up for her cousin.

Then, she pulled Yu Wen Yuehua's sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Aunt, you love Rong'er the most. Look! If the young marquis is like this, then my cousin Rong'er will be wronged!"

No matter what the considerations were, Feng Jiaojiao didn't want Xue Qingqing to continue living in this world.

Only when Xue Qingqing could not live in peace could she force Lord Zuo Xiang to submit. Only in this way could she help her imperial aunt, Princess Xuanyi, get what she wanted and force the current crown prince to step down!

Yu Wen Yuehua certainly understood this truth, but at this moment she was in a dilemma.

If Xue Qingqing was punished, the young marquis would inevitably become alienated from himself, and he would have to rely on the strength of the Marquis' Mansion in Changguo, Yuzhou to establish his own prestige in the country!

But if she doesn't punish him, she won't have the leverage to force Zuo Xiang to tell her what she wants!

After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Forget it! You take her back to your villa, and the others in the Zuo Xiangfu should be detained immediately!"

"However, since you have brought back the Second Miss Xue, you should also inform Lord Zuo Xiang!"

Yu Wen Yuehua emphasized the last sentence, probably trying to hint that the young marquis could use it to threaten the left prime minister in order to achieve their real goal!

"I understand!" Young Marquis Yuwen Bo nodded slightly, and understood Yuwen Yuehua's suggestion!

In less than an hour, the left prime minister who was originally imprisoned welcomed a group of officers and soldiers. Without saying a word, they were taken to the prison van and headed to the prison in Jinglinsi!

"Son! What have we done wrong? Why are you locking us up? Oh my!"

The old lady was pushed into the prison by those brutal officers and soldiers. The left prime minister hurried forward to help her up, and the prison door behind them was suddenly locked!

"Mother. Are you okay?" Zuo Xiang looked at the old lady concernedly. He was very secretive about the old lady's questions. Although he had expected it, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

The old lady said indignantly, "Mother is fine, Zheng'er! Didn't you say yesterday that the Xue Mansion was sealed off because of that girl Yangyang and the second master's family reselling cloth? What did that girl Yangyang do today to put us in jail?"

"Mother! You know the most about the cloth matter, what else is there to say? Our imprisonment has nothing to do with the child!" The Left Prime Minister had no other explanation at the moment, he could only hope that Yangyang could save his life!

"Sir! Sir, why are you also locked up?" A familiar head popped out from the cell opposite. It turned out to be Xiaotao.

The left prime minister looked at him and asked in a panic, "Why are you here? Where is the lady?"

"I don't know either. Yesterday, I went into the Imperial City with the young lady early in the morning, but I watched the young lady being arrested in the Prince's Mansion. I have been imprisoned here, so I don't know what happened to the young lady!"

Xiao Tao was already worried. Biluo had just been arrested for interrogation. Now she saw that Lord Zuo Xiang had also been arrested. She felt even more uneasy.

"Yang Yang!" The left prime minister grabbed the bars of the cell. He had never felt so powerless!

Just when several people were feeling sad and helpless, after a while, the soldiers dragged Biluo, who was beaten all over, and threw him into the cell!

Xiao Tao looked at Biluo who was covered in blood, tears streaming down her face. With trembling hands, she tried to help Biluo up, "Biluo, what's this?"

"Lord Cao said that you should think carefully about where your young lady will go. You will be the next one." The soldier who brought Biluo back shouted arrogantly while locking the door!

"What do you mean? Where did you lock our young lady up?" Xiao Tao turned around and looked outside the cell, not knowing what was going on!

"Your young lady escaped without permission and is now a fugitive. If you know about this and don't report it, you will suffer the consequences!" After saying this, the soldier glared fiercely at Zuo Xiang in the cell opposite, as if giving the same warning!

"Sir, are you saying that my daughter has escaped?" If that was the case, the Left Prime Minister would be relieved, at least she was safe!

"Hmph! How long can you escape? If you know, confess quickly!" The soldier scolded, cracked his whip and strode away.

The old lady had not dared to breathe just now, but now she finally dared to say, "Zheng'er! Could it be that Yang girl escaped and they caught us in? This evil spirit! Really!"

"Mother! Stop talking!" said the Left Prime Minister!

"I won't tell you. How can I not tell you? Now our whole family has been arrested? And Qingqing's child is also in danger of death!"

The cell was filled with chilly air, and with Biluo having been beaten to the point of being unable to speak, everyone was even more angry but dared not speak out!

Zuo Xiang watched all this and knew that the real cause of all this was not others but himself, and the secret in his heart that he had hidden for a long time and was not known to outsiders.

His eyebrows were twisted into a knot due to anxiety, and this mood was exactly what Lord Cao wanted to see!

"Young Marquis, please rest assured that I will do my job well. Put some pressure on the left prime minister. Then go and tell the second Miss Xue about her situation. I don't think he will say nothing!"

At the corner at the end of the prison, Lord Cao was chatting and laughing with the young marquis who came to watch the fun.

The young marquis was even more proud after hearing this, but he fanned himself curiously, "What if that old guy still refuses to say anything? So what?"

"Still not telling? Humph! Then we'll just have to put on a big show!"
