Chapter 162 She is His Eyes
"But I promised you a divorce..."
Li Zhenting almost whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
"Yes, at first I always wanted to divorce the prince. That was because our marriage was designed by Nangong Xun's family, and it was not out of my true feelings! But after spending some time together, I changed my mind!"
"Li Zhenting, listen to me carefully. Even if we want a divorce, I have the final say! Please don't say anything! You are the father of my unborn child and my patient! You must get my approval before you can do anything! If you leave without my permission again, you will be punished by family rules!"
Fang Qingqing said while suppressing her sadness.
As the saying goes, love grows with time. Having traveled through so many dimensions and never experienced any love, she felt both respect and love for the man before her. Her rescue was driven not only by her instinct to heal but also by her own intense emotional yearning.
She must be with him when he is at his worst, and have him when he is at his best!
Just as he had said before, he, the baby in his belly and she were a family and should never be separated!
"Family law?"
Li Zhenting was a little confused. The palace had rules, but he had never heard her mention family rules.
"Family rules are..."
Fang Qingqing gestured for him to lower his head, cupped her hands around his ears, and whispered softly...
It was visible to the naked eye that his cheeks suddenly turned red, and even his ears quickly turned red...
Back at Ningxinyuan, she took out the golden mask she had carefully crafted and helped him put it on. She had specially designed the mask to resemble a flying golden dragon, making it look both lifelike and majestic. The mask perfectly covered his damaged cheek and eye, making him look even more stern and intimidating.
Bai Lianyi, Xuan Qingshan and others all rushed over and looked at Li Zhenting. They all sat aside with their heads hung, not saying a word.
Everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts. As the Second Prince of Great Yan, Li Zhenting carried too much weight. He had devoted his life to his country and his people, yet now he was suffering from an undeserved disaster. It felt unfair that these things were happening to him.
Although the golden mask looked good on him, it was nowhere near as handsome as his original appearance. Especially his eyes, which were once the most beautiful phoenix eyes in the Nine Nether Continent. Under the mask, the eyes were still beautiful, but the sharp and unparalleled eyes were no longer as before.
His eyes were dull and he couldn't see anything now...
They were heartbroken, and I'm afraid the sadness in his heart was greater than anyone else's.
"During this period, I'm afraid there will be major disturbances in Kyoto. Everyone should be on high alert. I've already contacted the Dali Temple and increased patrols in Kyoto. The fourth brother will be in charge of liaising with the Dali Temple. Report any developments promptly!"
"The third brother has just recovered, so he shouldn't overwork himself. During this time, he should guard Prince Yu's Mansion and protect Princess Yunqing and Tong'er, the envoy of Huayuan!"
"Yes!"
"Now we have something to do, Qing'er, let's go to the Dali Temple Prison!"
After saying this, Li Zhenting was about to stand up.
"Second brother, are you going to the prison?"
Xuan Qingshan and Bai Lianyi were both shocked. "To the Heavenly Prison, you have to bring your second sister-in-law with you? Is that a place your second sister-in-law can go?"
"Because of Fang Yuming's murder, public outrage is boiling. If we don't get to the bottom of this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the people."
Chang Tianli, the Minister of Dali Temple, has already started investigating the case. The reason why my father insisted on letting them live in Ningxin Courtyard was because he was worried that the ruthless Chang Tianli would take them to Dali Temple for interrogation.
Treating the injuries on the eyes and face will take time and effort. We cannot break the rules of the Dali Temple just because he is a prince.
Once you lose the trust of the people, it will be difficult to restore that trust.
Therefore, even if Chang Tianli did not come to pick him up, they should have taken the initiative to find him.
"I will go with the prince!"
Fang Qingqing stood up, holding Li Zhenting's hand tightly in one hand and walked forward.
He couldn't see now, and she was his eyes.
Bai Lianyi and Xuan Qingshan, who were walking behind them, couldn't help but exchange a glance. As the ancients said, "Good fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows good fortune." Look at how well Li Laoer's sister-in-law has been treating him since he was injured!
A hint of doubt flashed across Bai Lianyi's face. After Li Zhenting and Fang Qingqing walked a little further away, he asked quietly.
"I just don't feel right about this. Master sent a pigeon message saying he wouldn't be back for a while, but the last time he came down the mountain, he left two life-saving pills for Li Lao Er. They're made from the world's most precious and rare herbs, and they're the essence of Master's inner strength. Not to mention disfigurement, even if half of my face is lost, I can grow it back."
"Why didn't Li Laoer mention the matter of the elixir..."
The two looked at each other and suddenly realized!
Li Mutou, he looks dull and stupid, but he is actually very energetic. What is he doing? What is he doing...
The two of them were in a great mood, and Bai Lianyi was even happier. He bent down, picked up Xuan Qingshan, and spun him around a few times. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his lower back, so he let go and threw Xuan Qingshan to the ground. He held his waist with both hands and cried out incessantly...
Dali Temple
"Chang Tianli, the Minister of Justice of the Dali Temple, pays homage to Prince Yu and Princess Yu..."
Li Zhenting and Fang Qingqing came to the Dali Temple on their own initiative, which was really beyond common sense. He hurriedly knelt down to greet them.
He has been very worried about this matter these past two days.
The sound of the drum for seeking justice at the gate continued day and night. Ever since Fang Yuming was killed in prison, a group of Fang family members, young and old, had set up camp at the gate. Fang Yuming's first wife, Liang, led a group of Fang family members, dressed in mourning clothes, carrying a coffin and wailing incessantly.
The repercussions of this incident were extremely severe. If the truth of the matter was not investigated, not only would the reputation of Prince Yu and Princess Yu be damaged, but the Dali Temple's credibility among the people would also be affected. Because of this incident, several riots broke out in some parts of Kyoto, seriously affecting the normal lives of the people.
He wanted to investigate the case, but Prince Yu was seriously injured, and the Emperor was willing to condone him and didn't want him to disturb Prince Yu's peace. As a first-rank Dali Temple official, he couldn't break into the Ningxin Courtyard in the harem and tie up Prince Yu and his wife for interrogation!
Prince Yu, despite his physical condition, came here in person, which really helped him a lot! How could he not be grateful!
His admiration for Prince Yu grew even stronger. Someone must have been behind this, deliberately doing it. He had to get to the bottom of it!
"Please stand up quickly. I came here today to tell you about what I've experienced these past few days, and I also want to personally examine the corpse. This will help me find out the truth and give the people an explanation as soon as possible!"
"Alright! We'll head to the prison now, examine the bodies, and interrogate the people imprisoned with Fang Yuming!"
Chang Tianli answered loudly and readily.
Fang Qingqing quietly took out a pot of wine from her sleeve and whispered something to Chang Tianli. Chang Tianli's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Fang Qingqing with a look of approval.
He suddenly became energetic and told Li Zhenting about the progress of the case in the past two days. He accompanied Li Zhenting and others towards the sky prison.
"The only eyewitness right now is the man imprisoned with Fang Yuming, his former steward Liu Fugui. He firmly insisted that it was Prince Yu who arranged for Fang Yuming to be killed!"
