Song Jinyu finished tying the last knot at the end of the rope and clapped his hands in satisfaction. "This knot is perfect. It seems that my skill in tying people has improved a lot."

Ji Chu sat on the stool and tried to move it, but it was of no use. The wooden stool under him didn't move even half a step. He struggled with the knot on his body, but it still didn't work.

"Song Jinyu, untie the rope quickly, otherwise you will be dead when the rope is untied. I will definitely not let you go."

After struggling for a while in vain, Ji Chu could only glare at Song Jinyu fiercely. How come she didn't know that this kid had such skills? If she had known earlier, she would have let him kidnap people when they ambushed Prince Shun before.

Song Jinyu looked at Ji Chu helplessly and sighed deeply.

"I'm helping you. No matter what the final result is, you'll always have A-Yan to back you up. He'll be the first to hold up the sky. Now the little princess has only been thrown into a dark prison, and His Majesty hasn't issued an order to punish her. This proves that there's still room for maneuver. If you go and rob the prison and make a scene, there might not even be room for maneuver."

"You can't help but waste your own time. How dare you do such a thing that is not worth the effort?"

"I can't just watch Mu Mu being thrown into the Dark Prison and do nothing. Only extremely evil criminals would be thrown into the Dark Prison. The emperor didn't even give Mu Mu a chance to defend himself before throwing him into the Dark Prison. He clearly doesn't know right from wrong and is abusing his power."

Song Jinyu quickly covered Ji Chu's mouth with his hand, tilted his ear to listen carefully for a while, and felt relieved when he was sure that there was no one around.

"My dear aunt, can you control yourself a little? Don't you know that walls have ears and people's words are scary? If the emperor hears this, you will be the next person to be thrown into the dark prison."

Ji Chu snorted coldly when he heard that, but he deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke again, "I couldn't ask for that, anyway I can't rob the Dark Prison and save people, it's better to die with Mu Mu, it's better than doing nothing and being tied up here by you."

Song Jinyu frowned fiercely, turned back to the table, poured a glass of water, and put the glass to Ji Chu's mouth. The latter turned his head away angrily and snorted.

Song Jinyu sighed and felt helpless. He put the teacup back on the table, kicked a stool to Ji Chu's side, and sat down on it. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his words were from the heart.

"Things haven't gotten that serious yet. The emperor summoned Ayan alone, and the general's mansion is safe and sound, which means there's still room for recovery. The man tonight didn't explain his intentions, and a woman who looks exactly like the little princess can't explain the problem. Why can't you calm down and wait a little longer?"

Ji Chu still turned his head away from looking at Song Jinyu, and did not answer him, but heard Song Jinyu sigh again and continued: "Ayan will definitely not abandon the little princess, are you more useful than him? You know what the dark prison is, with your skills, is there any possibility of getting out after entering? Maybe by then, because of your prison break, the little princess will be charged with the crime of fleeing for fear of crime, and she will be directly sentenced to death. You don’t want to see such a result, right?"

Ji Chu still didn't say anything, but her eyes were secretly red. Seeing Song Jinyu moving a stool towards her, she couldn't wipe her tears because her hands were tied, so she had to quickly lower her head, not wanting Song Jinyu to see her crying.

Seeing her lowering her head in pain, Song Jinyu actually felt uncomfortable too. Ever since he brought Ji Chu to his side, although he had no romantic feelings for her, he still treated her with great pampering. Whatever she wanted, he would try his best to get it for her even if he didn't have it at the moment. Now seeing her like this, he felt anxious and afraid, and his tone softened when he spoke again.

"Don't worry too much. The final outcome of this matter is a matter of a word from His Majesty. Although there are many court officials tonight, none of them have the courage to doubt Tian Xin. As long as His Majesty sends a message, they dare not say more even if they have doubts. A Yan must be negotiating with His Majesty at this moment. He likes Tang Mumu so much that he will not let her get into trouble."

Ji Chu then looked up at him, "What if King Rong also doubts Mu Mu's identity? Even I am wondering what the relationship is between that woman and Mu Mu tonight. And the man in white is obviously a difficult master to deal with, but he just threw the woman down without saying a word tonight, and Nunu even rescued the woman. If you say they have no relationship, I don't believe it."

"Besides, the second young lady of the Tang family doesn't know martial arts, but Mu Mu has exposed her skills in public. Anyone with a sound mind will begin to doubt her identity. What if the emperor charges Mu Mu'an with deceiving the emperor in order to contain Prince Rong?"

"So you already have doubts about the little princess? You already suspect that she is not the real second daughter of the Tang family. If that's the case, then she is just a fake Princess Rong. The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death. She deceived you first, so why did you risk jailbreaking for her?"

Ji Chu was suddenly speechless. She was not stupid, and neither were the people present tonight. Naturally, many people had doubts about Princess Rong's identity just like her.

"Ji Chu, I saved your life with great difficulty. I will never let you take risks with your life again. If you don't behave yourself, I will tie you up and take you back to the Grand Commandant's Mansion. You know you are no match for me."

"You..." Ji Chu raised his eyes and glared at Song Jinyu, feeling angry and anxious. His eyes were completely red and he was speechless to Song Jinyu for a moment.

Song Jinyu suddenly stood up and put the water to Ji Chu's mouth again, "Drink some water first, otherwise you won't be able to cry anymore."

"Song Jinyu, you are such a rotten-hearted person. Have you forgotten who accompanied us all the way south? Have you forgotten who risked his life to protect Prince Rong from getting hurt? And when the assassins were chasing us, it was Mu Mu who accompanied Prince Rong to lead the assassins away, so that we could return to the capital safely. Now she is in trouble, and you have the nerve to watch her get beheaded?"

Song Jinyu was stunned for a moment after being scolded. He thought to himself, it seems that he really indulged Ji Chu too much. How long has it been since she dared to scold him? She is so cruel and has a unique way of scolding people.

"Don't open your mouth without thinking. When did I say I would just stand by and watch? Besides, who told you that Tang Mumu was going to be beheaded? The emperor hasn't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Didn't you say that deceiving the emperor is a serious crime?" Ji Chu couldn't help but sniff. Thinking of the Song Mansion that was confiscated and the Song family members who were beheaded in public, her heart ached as if it was about to break.

She has already lost once. If Tang Mumu is going to be beheaded in the end, she will go to the execution ground at the risk of her life. At worst, she will die with her.

"I will definitely not watch Mu Mu die. I will rob the execution ground even if it means sacrificing my own life. Anyway, I can't find out whether my father was wrongly accused or not. Even if I find out, I can't clear the Song family's name. My life is of no use now. It doesn't matter whether I live or die."

After Ji Chu finished speaking, he was too lazy to struggle and simply slumped back in his chair. He ignored the water that Song Jinyu handed to his mouth, snorted at him, and turned his head away, not wanting to look at his face again.
