Chapter 138 – How should I save you
Looking at the besides herself little consort, Fire Spirit and Xi Ning both looked at her with worry.
Chu Qing-Yan stared blankly for a short while, then immediately forced herself to pull it together. She looked towards Fire Spirit with glistening teardrops flashing in her eyes. "Last night he kneeled for a night in the palace, this morning he was locked in prison. Don't know if His Highness's body can handle it. Can you guys think of ways to get information on His Highness?"
"Water Spirit is already thinking of ways to transmit information to master, little consort should be at ease." Fire Spirit immediately replied.
In fact no one could feel at ease, everyone was clear in their heart, everything happened too suddenly and too critically.
"Then how is Fourth Prince's injury?" Chu Qing-Yan remembered Xiao Ran and couldn't help but ask.
"Fourth Prince was seriously injured, reportedly one sword strike stabbed his chest, but fortunately it avoided a vital point. Until early this morning was he finally out of danger. Only that he has remained unconscious until now." Fire Spirit reported the latest news he received.
Chu Qing-Yan nodded, it's good that Xiao Ran that boy was out of danger, otherwise Big Block of Ice wouldn't just be imprisoned so simply. From how much Dong Lin emperor (1) doted on Xiao Ran, Big Block of Ice's life may even be in danger.
She felt slightly apologetic to Xiao Ran, he took her as a friend, but all of her heart was on Big Block of Ice's safety. Forget it, wait until Big Block of Ice is safe, she would then properly make it up to Xiao Ran.
Now, the matter of vital importance was to rescue Big Block of Ice.
"Generally with this kind of cases, how is it handled?" Being directly locked in the imperial prison by the Emperor, she was afraid he would be judged guilty just like this. If it was like that, then there wasn't any leeway to intercede.
"The Justice of Peace Official would investigate this case, then a date would be fixed to hear the case. People with master's ident.i.ty would have a joint hearing with the three branches of government. His Majesty may personally oversee the case." Fire Spirit grabbed the handle of a chair with one hand, the rage in his heart was hard to dispel.
Chu Qing-Yan nodded. "That is to say there are still several days left to investigate this case?"
Fire Spirit smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Those Ministers would hide whenever a wind blows by, now His Majesty is greatly angered, clearly, his mind was already set that master is the mastermind behind the scenes. How could those ministers still waste their thoughts to investigate this?"
Chu Qing-Yan stared blankly, 'a complacent emperor is flattered by ten thousand people, the first to disappoint the emperor would be stepped on by ten thousand people' must be talking about this!
"No, we can not sit around and wait for death. Earth Spirit, you gather the several leaders among you guys and see if there is anyway to rescue His Highness. Moreover, doesn't His Highness still have some hanger-on n.o.ble families under him? You guys check to see if we can pool their wisdom to find mutual benefits." Chu Qing-Yan's tone was somewhat anxious.
Fire Spirit, having heard what was said, felt this was considered the most feasible method at this time. He agreed and turned around, and was just about to leave then once again stopped. He lifted his eyes to look at the little consort. "Earth Spirit is currently doing all he can to find the real culprit behind the scenes. And Water Spirit right now is already making inquiries to find news about master. So, ask you to feel a.s.sured by all means and take care of your own body."
