After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me

the next day.

Du Yunsheng came to the Tianlao.

The sound of heavy iron chains echoed in the dark corridor. She was dressed in gorgeous purple clothes and walked calmly into the damp and moldy prison. When the jailer saw her, he quickly opened the cell door and bowed his head in awe.

Inside the cell, Qiao Zhiyu, dishevelled and covered in whip wounds, was lying on the rack with his eyes closed, seemingly enduring great pain. Seeing this, Du Yunsheng walked straight to Qiao Zhiyu without even changing his expression.

"Qiao Zhiyu, what else do you have to say?" Du Yunsheng asked coldly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

Qiao Zhiyu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with an unyielding light, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter smile: "Princess Zhaoyang, I know that I have committed a serious sin. I hope I can die with understanding."

Du Yunsheng frowned slightly, a hint of concern flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "You betrayed the Great Zhou and the Emperor, what else do you not understand?"

Qiao Zhiyu shook his head bitterly: "Princess, if I betrayed, how could I let the emperor fall into the trap? This is all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Du Yunsheng sneered, "You are colluding with the enemy country, the evidence is irrefutable, what misunderstanding is there?"

Qiao Zhiyu's eyes were firm: "I did have contact with the enemy's envoys, but that was to spy on the enemy and seek benefits for our country. Princess, you should know that I, Qiao Zhiyu, have been loyal all my life and have never betrayed anyone."

Du Yunsheng was silent for a moment. She looked at Qiao Zhiyu, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Qiao Zhiyu, if you really want to serve the country, why don't you express your feelings to the emperor?"

Qiao Zhiyu laughed bitterly: "Princess, I wanted to explain everything to the emperor, but the emperor has already made up his mind and thinks that I betrayed him. What else can I do in this prison?"

Du Yunsheng was silent for a while, and she suddenly asked: "Qiao Zhiyu, do you know why I came to see you?"

Qiao Zhiyu shook his head: "Princess, I don't know."

Du Yunsheng sighed, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "I know you are a loyal and upright person, I don't want to see a person like you die because of a misunderstanding. But the emperor is already very suspicious, I can't clear your name."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Qiao Zhiyu's eyes: "Princess, I understand. I only hope that you can tell the emperor the truth so that I can die with peace of mind."

Du Yunsheng nodded. She looked at Qiao Zhiyu with a firm look in her eyes: "I will do my best. But before that, you have one more thing to do."

Qiao Zhiyu's eyes narrowed: "Princess, please give me your orders."

Du Yunsheng said slowly: "I want you to write down everything you know, including your contact with the enemy envoy and why you did it. I want the emperor to know that you are not betraying, but have other difficulties."

There was a hint of hesitation in Qiao Zhiyu's eyes, but he soon nodded: "Princess, I do."

Du Yunsheng turned and left, leaving Qiao Zhiyu in deep thought in the cell.

……

Qiao Zhiyu still wanted to remain silent.

However, after just a few breaths, he felt so much pain all over his body that he didn't even want to die for a moment.

Qiao Zhiyu clenched his teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his forehead. He knew that he could not show weakness here, otherwise even more brutal torture would be waiting for him.

At this moment, the wooden door of the prison creaked open, and Princess Zhaoyang Du Yunsheng slowly walked in. She was wearing a gorgeous red dress, with a calm and noble expression on her face. Seeing Qiao Zhiyu's appearance, she frowned slightly and walked forward.

"Qiao Zhiyu, are you okay?" Du Yunsheng asked softly, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Qiao Zhiyu forced a smile and said, enduring the pain: "Princess, I'm fine, it just hurts a little."

Du Yunsheng sighed softly, with a complex look in his eyes: "I know you were seriously injured to protect me, but I really didn't expect it to be so serious."

Qiao Zhiyu shook his head: "Princess, this is what I should do. As long as I can protect you, I am willing to give everything."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with emotion, but she quickly regained her composure and looked at Qiao Zhiyu: "In your current physical condition, can you really continue to protect me?"

Qiao Zhiyu was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "Princess, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely protect you."

At this time, another door of the prison opened and a middle-aged man walked in. He was wearing a black robe and had a gloomy smile on his face. This man was the supervisor of the prison, Zhao Tianqing, known as "Black Impermanence".

"Princess Du, you've come at the right time. It looks like the prisoner is dying." Zhao Tianqing said sarcastically.

Du Yunsheng glanced at him coldly: "Manager Zhao, this person is mine, I hope you can give me some face and take good care of him."

Zhao Tianqing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, my lady, I will follow your orders. However, this prisoner is a dangerous person, I must make sure he will not pose a threat to you again."

A cold light flashed in Du Yunsheng's eyes: "Manager Zhao, don't worry, I will make him understand the consequences of betraying me."

Zhao Tianqing nodded and turned to leave. Du Yunsheng looked at Qiao Zhiyu, her eyes full of worry. She knew that Qiao Zhiyu was seriously injured because of her, but she also knew that Qiao Zhiyu's enemies would not give up.

"Qiao Zhiyu, you should rest first. I will ask someone to bring you medicine." Du Yunsheng said softly.

Qiao Zhiyu nodded, looked at Du Yunsheng's back, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would protect Du Yunsheng's safety no matter what the cost.

In the following days, Qiao Zhiyu received special care in the prison. Although his injuries were still painful, he had time to think about his next move.

That evening, Qiao Zhiyu was resting with his eyes closed in his cell when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. He opened his eyes and saw a young man in gray walking in.

"Brother Qiao, are you okay?" the young man asked with concern.

Qiao Zhiyu recognized that this person was his good friend Li Mubai. He smiled and said, "Brother Li, I'm fine. Thank you for coming to see me."

Li Mubai walked up to Qiao Zhiyu and whispered, "Brother Qiao, I just got a piece of news. The conspiracy to frame the princess seems to be related to a big shot in the palace."

A hint of surprise flashed in Qiao Zhiyu's eyes: "Really? Then we must find evidence as soon as possible, otherwise the princess will be in danger."

Li Mubai nodded: "I am already investigating this matter. Once I find evidence, I will inform you immediately."

Qiao Zhiyu looked at Li Mubai gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Li. I know you have taken a great risk for me."

Li Mubai smiled and said, "Brother Qiao, we are brothers. This little risk is nothing. As long as I can help the princess clear her grievances, I am willing to give everything."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with firm belief.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Qiao Zhiyu and Li Mubai looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.
