Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 212 Entering the Imperial Prison Temple!

There was a table next to the low couch, so Su Mowan didn't need to get up.

After Gu Yuanzheng entered, he first bowed to the Seventh Princess before Su Mowan took her place.

This is normal; Su Mowan's status is indeed inferior to that of the Seventh Princess.

Professor Gu was over fifty years old and had a gray beard, but he looked kind and approachable.

He placed the medicine box on the small table in front of the low couch, opened it, took out a thin piece of gauze, and then gestured for Su Mowan to reach out.

To be honest, Su Mowan was not confident.

What if the medicine Murong Jing gave her didn't work? How would she cope?

But since the person was already in front of him, there was no way to avoid him, so he gritted his teeth and put his hand flat on the table.

Seeing her nervous expression, Dean Gu smiled kindly.

"Please don't be nervous. I'm just taking your pulse casually; it won't take much effort."

Su Mowan could only smile and say against her will that she wasn't nervous.

Just as Dr. Gu had said it wouldn't take much effort, he frowned as soon as the light gauze was applied and his fingers gently pressed against Su Mowan's wrist.

Seeing this, Su Mowan felt even more uneasy, and her heart pounded even faster.

Seeing that Dean Gu remained silent for a long time and did not move his hand away, and cried out several times in a row, Su Mowan could no longer hold back.

She asked somewhat guiltily, "Imperial Physician Gu, is there something wrong?"

Dr. Gu frowned, somewhat puzzled, and said, "That's strange, why does this pulse..."

What's wrong with the pulse?

Su Mowan became nervous.

Seeing her expression, Dr. Gu assumed she was worried about the baby in her womb.

After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and reassured her, "There's nothing wrong, it's just a bit strange. In all my years of practicing medicine, I've rarely encountered such a situation. However, please rest assured, Consort Su, it's nothing serious."

Su Mowan's heart nearly jumped out of her throat. Hearing what Imperial Physician Gu said, she knew that the medicine would be somewhat effective, so she deliberately asked with a worried expression, "Is there something wrong with the fetus? Imperial Physician Gu, please tell me."

The Seventh Princess, standing to the side, was quite frightened by the expressions of the two men and immediately said to Imperial Physician Gu, "Imperial Physician Gu, please take a good look again! My sister-in-law can't afford any mishaps!"

Otherwise, the palace would be in complete chaos!

The Seventh Princess was even more anxious than Su Mowan.

After careful consideration, Imperial Physician Gu quickly gave a definitive answer: "Seventh Princess, please rest assured, and Consort Su, please also rest assured, there is no problem with the fetus, it's just that the pulse is weaker than that of an ordinary pregnant woman."

Upon hearing that the fetus was fine, Su Mowan and the Seventh Princess both breathed a sigh of relief. Su Mowan, in particular, had been holding her breath, her heart finally at ease!

The Seventh Princess frowned again: "Since the pulse is weak, does that mean she's physically weak? Physician Gu, you must prepare some more medicine for my sister-in-law to nourish her!"

Su Mowan was speechless, but for now she could only play along with the Seventh Princess's words, so she said, "Yes, Imperial Physician Gu, I'll have to trouble you. This fetus absolutely cannot—"

"Please rest assured, both of you. There is nothing wrong with the fetus. I will prescribe a medicine to strengthen your body and replenish your vital energy. Your body is indeed a bit weak, and you should take good care of yourself."

The imperial physician Gu was exasperated by the two's tense atmosphere, so he picked up his pen and quickly wrote out two prescriptions. When the Seventh Princess saw that there were two prescriptions, she became even more worried.

"Is it that serious? Does it require so much medication?"

Physician Gu quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, no, these two prescriptions are not to be taken together."

As he spoke, he pushed one of the prescriptions in front of Su Mowan and said, "Take this prescription for half a month first."

Then, he pushed another prescription aside and said, "Switch to this prescription in half a month."

So this is divided into treatment courses? Su Mowan nodded admiringly, indicating that she understood.

The Seventh Princess spoke up directly, praising, "As expected of Imperial Physician Gu, you're amazing! Other imperial physicians would just prescribe one prescription and be done with it, but you gave me two at once!"

Su Mowan suppressed a laugh, and Physician Gu was probably speechless as well. He could only accept this low-level compliment, and gave some more instructions on not catching a cold, before finally packing up his medicine box and leaving with a thoughtful look on his face.

Having survived this ordeal, Su Mowan felt much more relaxed and was about to go out for a walk to get some fresh air when the Seventh Princess stopped her.

"Sister-in-law, your health is really bad. Don't go out for walks! Just stay in the house!"

Su Mowan was about to say that it wasn't that exaggerated.

The Seventh Princess seemed to have noticed something and raised her voice, "No wonder it's so cold! Sister-in-law, you don't have an underfloor heating in this room! What's wrong with Third Brother? No, no, we can't stay in such a cold place. Let's go to Fenghua Palace!"

As the Seventh Princess spoke, she reached out to help Su Mowan.

Su Mowan dodged.

That's just how the Seventh Princess is—fiery and impulsive. But now that she's finally out, she doesn't want to go to Fenghua Palace.

Without room for negotiation, he said, "No, I'm perfectly fine here. Why should I go over? If you feel cold, you can go over by yourself. Anyway, there's nothing fun to do here."

The seventh princess pouted unhappily.

It's better not to let her go by herself. What's the point of her going by herself? One look from the Third Prince would be colder than in Huangfeng Garden!

So the seventh princess surrendered.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say, sister-in-law. But it's really too cold in this room. Qinghe, go and light a fire!"

Qinghe glanced at the Seventh Princess, then at Su Mowan, and said with difficulty, "Princess, Consort Su doesn't like it."

"Yes, I don't like it. The smell of charcoal makes me want to vomit and gives me a terrible headache."

Su Mowan simply continued to pretend.

The Seventh Princess was at her wit's end and said helplessly, "This won't work, that won't work, you're not going to spend the whole winter like this, are you?"

Su Mowan glanced at her, lifted her cloak to reveal the hot water bottle she was holding, and laughed, "Definitely not, I have this."

The seventh princess immediately reached out and touched it, then exclaimed in surprise, "So that's how it's done! What's it made of? It's so soft!"

"……I don't know either."

This stumped Su Mowan. She didn't know what kind of leather it was made of; she had just been holding it when Murong Jing brought it to her.

Just then, Yinshuang came in.

Seeing her brows furrow slightly, Su Mowan quickly asked, "Did you find out? What did they say?"

“The Fisherwoman from Qingchengfang was murdered last night. Someone identified Qingchengfang as having argued with Fisherwoman last night and having entered Fisherwoman’s room at midnight. Therefore, Qingchengfang has been imprisoned in the Imperial Prison to await retrial.”

After Yinshuang finished speaking, she waited for Su Mowan's instructions.

Su Mowan's heart sank.

"I don't believe Qingcheng did this. I need to find a way to see her first. Is it easy to get into the Imperial Prison?"

Before Yinshuang could speak, the Seventh Princess interjected, "I know about the Imperial Prison Temple. It's easy to get in, but hard to get out!"

After saying that, realizing that Su Mowan was going to the Imperial Prison Temple, he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you can't go to that place! It's bad for the baby!"

The Imperial Prison Temple was a place specifically for imprisoning criminals who had committed murder. They were all serious offenders, which is what the Seventh Princess meant by "once you go in, you never get out."

Once you go in, you're guaranteed to be beheaded.

But Qingcheng hasn't been convicted yet, so why was she imprisoned in the Imperial Prison?

This is against the rules.

Su Mowan increasingly felt that something was amiss, but since she didn't know anyone from the Ministry of Justice, anxiety gradually crept onto her face.

Finally, he thought of Su Mobai.

Su Mobai is an official in the Ministry of War, so he might have some connections with people in the Ministry of Justice!

So Su Mowan asked Yinshuang to send someone to meet with Su Mobai.

Yinshuang looked somewhat troubled.

Su Mowan knew that Su Mobai's whereabouts were not something that ordinary people could keep track of, so passing the information to Su Mobai was a bit difficult.

But she had no other choice.

Just then, Feng Yue arrived.

Su Mowan thought Feng Yue was sent by Murong Jing to ask if the medicine was effective, so she said cryptically, "Go back and tell your master that Physician Gu has already left."

Feng Yue nodded, but said, "Master knows that Physician Gu has already left. Master sent me here because of the matter of Qingchengfang."

It has to be said that Su Mowan was quite surprised.

How could Murong Jing have time to concern himself with the affairs of Qingchengfang? Moreover, how did Murong Jing know that something had happened at Qingchengfang?

He's busy with military affairs, how could he possibly have the time to pay attention to these things?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Feng Yue said directly, "My master said that if you want to go to the Imperial Prison Temple, you can go anytime."

Su Mowan's eyes immediately brightened.

Murong Jing's intervention will definitely be effective.

But why did he help her?

In any case, this relieved Su Mowan's worries. Su Mowan nodded and asked Feng Yue, "I'm going now, do you want to come with me?"

Feng Yue bowed and said, "Yes, Master instructed me to go with you."

"Let's go then!"

Su Mowan couldn't wait a moment longer.

Qingcheng was her best friend, and she couldn't stand idly by while she was imprisoned without any explanation.

Seeing that she was about to leave after putting on her cloak, the Seventh Princess hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, don't go! It's cold and damp in there, it's not good for your health! And Third Brother, really, he didn't even stop you! Don't move yet, let me go and talk to Third Brother!"

The Seventh Princess thought that her Third Brother was unaware of the instructions given by Physician Gu and the diagnosis results, which was why he allowed Su Mowan to run around freely.

Before Su Mowan could even roll her eyes, Feng Yue said, "Your Highness, you don't need to go. The master knows that the imperial physician went to Fenghua Palace before he left."

The Seventh Princess looked incredulous, but in the end there was nothing she could do. Her Third Brother had already given his permission, and it would be futile for her to stop him alone.

The seventh princess was worried and went along too.

The group arrived at the Imperial Prison Temple in the east of the city. Several guards at the gate hesitated whether to stop Feng Yue and the Seventh Princess when they saw them.

They didn't recognize Su Mowan, but they recognized these two.

Feng Yue took out a token and flashed it in front of the group. The guards' attitude changed immediately. They all bowed and let the person in.

One of them was also responsible for leading the way.

Su Mowan directly asked the man, "Where are the dancers from Qingchengfang who were just imprisoned this morning?"

The man immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "Just follow me, it's at the very back."

Upon hearing that she was locked in the innermost part, Su Mowan quickly urged him to lead the way.

Just as the Seventh Princess had described, the cell was dark, damp, and had a sinister feel to it. Su Mowan turned to Feng Yue, who was following behind her, and said, "You take the Seventh Princess out first. I'll come out as soon as I see her."

Just as the Seventh Princess was about to protest, Su Mowan said in a deep voice, "What kind of behavior is it for a princess to come to a prison? Get out of here."

It houses death row inmates.

Su Mowan could almost picture the scene she would see as she went in. Fearing that the Seventh Princess would be frightened, she forcefully chased her out.

The Seventh Princess reluctantly followed Feng Yue out.

Su Mowan was extremely anxious. She took Yinshuang and followed the jailer, walking quickly inside.
