"That's her!" Gu Lingyi immediately stood up and said coldly, "She is my brother's legal wife."

"My brother was injured and missing, but she was not in a hurry. She even asked her brother from her mother's family to go find him."

"So, I suspect she murdered her husband. I ask Captain Zuo to arrest her and interrogate her to find out the whereabouts of my brother!"

The left lieutenant glanced at Song Mingli coldly, "Madam Song of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Song Mingli nodded, "That's right."

"Come here, arrest the man and take him back for interrogation." The left lieutenant ordered.

Two guards outside the door immediately rushed in and tried to capture Song Mingli.

Zi Su was startled and stood in front of Song Mingli.

Song Mingli looked at the left lieutenant and asked, "The Imperial Guard arrested people based on one side's testimony?"

"I suspect that the Gu family deliberately set a trap to frame me! Gu Qingshan is an adult man, and he has Aunt Su and a servant to serve him personally."

"Madam Su and the servant did not find any clues that he was kidnapped or abducted. I have reason to suspect that he left on his own."

“After all, this isn’t the first time he’s done this. Gu Qingshan has a criminal record.”

The left lieutenant sneered, "Madam, save these words for the interrogation!"

"take away!"

"Wait!"

Song Mingli took out the imperial badge and handed it to Zi Su.

"This is a special permission granted by the Emperor to see the Emperor in person. I am in prison. Zi Su, you go to the palace to ask for an audience with the Emperor on my behalf."

Song Mingli said calmly, "Your Majesty, if Gu Qingshan is missing, and the Imperial Guards do not investigate or ask questions, but directly arrest me, is this in compliance with the laws of our dynasty?"

Captain Zuo looked intently at the badge in her hand.

The Imperial Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, and of course the Left Colonel recognizes the badge bestowed by the emperor.

This waist badge was inscribed by the emperor himself and commissioned by the palace.

This little woman in front of me can actually reach the emperor and ask to see him!

The left colonel was caught off guard and was shocked.

He understood very well that this badge meant more than just requesting an audience with the emperor.

It also shows that this young woman is someone who is valued and cared for by the emperor.

If he arrested people at random and was blamed by his superiors, not to mention that his actions were completely against the law.

Even if it is legal, it would be easy for the higher-ups to punish him.

The left lieutenant immediately bowed and said with a smile, "Madam, please calm down. It's a misunderstanding, all misunderstanding!"

"You are such a shrewd woman!" Captain Zuo turned around and scolded Gu Lingyi harshly, "Why didn't you make it clear earlier? Your brother might have left on his own."

"You actually told me that it was your eldest sister-in-law who kidnapped him, intending to murder her husband and take over the mansion alone!"

"You are such a fool, you are confusing right and wrong, confusing people and obstructing public affairs! You are so stupid and evil!"

The left lieutenant had a dark face and threw a bunch of words at him.

Gu Lingyi was hit so hard that she felt dizzy, staggered back and fell into a chair.

"no……"

This left lieutenant was clearly someone I invited myself. Doesn’t he have a good relationship with my father-in-law?

Why did he change sides as soon as he saw the badge?

What's wrong with Song Mingli having a badge?

If he can arrest the person, can't he also confiscate the badge?

If the left lieutenant heard this, he would probably want to slap the guy in the face.

How dare he casually confiscate the badge specially bestowed by the emperor?

Doesn’t he think he has too many heads and they are not enough for the emperor to chop off?

"Madam, please calm down. I was fooled by this woman." The left lieutenant waved his hand and ordered his men to withdraw.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't waste Madam's time."

Song Mingli nodded, "Then I won't send you off, Commandant Zuo."

I didn’t expect that the badge bestowed by the emperor would be so useful?

Just taking it out can shock those who know the value of it.

Upon hearing this, the Left Colonel did not leave in a hurry. He stared at the badge in Song Mingli's hand with some concern.

Song Mingli raised his eyebrows. What's the matter? Do you want to grab the badge?

"So...what happened today?" The left lieutenant smiled politely and asked tentatively.

It turned out that he was afraid that she would hold a grudge against him for what happened today.

"What happened today? Oh," Song Mingli said frankly, "Gu Lang is missing, but no one around him noticed anything unusual. Maybe he ran away from home again."

Song Mingli emphasized the word again.

"Otherwise, there's nothing else."

Upon hearing this, the left lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sorry to bother you!"

The left lieutenant was in the flower hall and had not left yet.

Jingyou just came back riding on the Wang family's pony. He had forgotten the painting he had drawn for the young master of the Wang family yesterday at home, so he came back to get it.

Before he even entered the house, he heard the servants say that his aunt had returned and had called the left lieutenant of the Imperial Guard to arrest his mother!

Jingyou frowned, and without going back home or taking the painting, he grabbed the reins and rode towards Prince Jing's mansion.

"Go find the master! Save my mother!"

Jingyou just left.

The left lieutenant also brought his men, and walked away without stopping, smiling and apologizing politely.

Song Mingli looked at Gu Lingyi who was slumped in the chair with a smile.

"What other methods do you have?"

Gu Lingyi stared fiercely at Song Mingli and the badge in her hand.

Just as Gu Lingyi was about to speak, two servants came running in from outside.

The one in the front is a servant from the Marquis' Mansion, and the one in the back is a servant from the Li family, the family of Gu Lingyi's husband.

"Madam, the Li family has sent someone to ask the young lady to go back." said the servant from the Marquis's mansion.

Gu Lingyi was slightly stunned. "Didn't I say that we were here to celebrate mother's birthday today? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The servant of the Li family panted and said, "Madam, it's bad! The master, the master has been captured by the embroidered clothes envoy!"

"What?!" Gu Lingyi's face changed drastically.

"Embroidered Clothes Envoy? Isn't that the Emperor's trusted confidant? How could Father-in-law offend the Embroidered Clothes Envoy?"

The servant looked embarrassed, "I don't know either. The master asked you to go back quickly! Let's discuss countermeasures!"

Gu Lingyi didn't bother to compete with Song Mingli. She came and left in a hurry with her maid and entourage.

Before leaving, she pointed at Song Mingli and said, "Wait for me!"

Song Mingli shrugged and waited.

But Song Mingli didn't expect that Gu Lingyi would come back so soon.

Judging from the time, she probably hasn't even returned to the Li family yet, but she's here again.

This time, her husband Li Tianming came back with her.

Song Mingli came to the flower hall again.

She hasn't come in yet.

Li Tianming immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Hello, sister-in-law. I hope you are well."

Li Tianming is not a polite person, but he is used to changing his attitude according to the situation.

The reason why he is so polite is definitely because he has something to ask of him.

Song Mingli secretly wondered in her heart, what did Li Tianming want her to do?

Her father had just been captured by the Embroidered Uniform Envoy. Although she had an imperial badge and could enter the palace to meet the emperor, she did not know the Embroidered Uniform Envoy.

Could it be that Li Tianming wanted to ask her to go to the palace to plead for his father?

That really overestimates her!

She didn't think she had enough face in front of the emperor.
