The royal guards swarmed over and examined the woman who was lying there without moving at all.

  A royal guard quickly came to report, “Your Highness, she has fainted.”


  “My lady, my lady!! You people, who are you people. How could you treat my lady like this.” The carriage driver scrambled up and lambasted them in a fluster.

  Yet Crown Prince Mo merely looked at him, his gaze settling on the other party’s hands.

  That carriage driver reflexively looked down at himself. There was nothing other than his chubby hands that were like two white radishes.

  Mo Lian curled his lips in a sneer. He turned to jump onto a horse that the royal guards had led over and galloped toward North Main Street without looking back.

  “Cough. Cough, cough.” When Wei Mingli returned to consciousness, she felt that her chest hurt terribly. That man’s flying kick just so happened to hit her chest, giving her the feeling that her chest cavity was going to get crushed in that instant!

  Wei Mingli coughed several times. Just as she was struggling to get up with the carriage driver’s help, they suddenly saw a swarm of royal guards rush over and press them down to the ground, kneeling, with their blades.

  Wei Mingli’s pretty face flushed red in anger, and she abandoned her feigned daintiness upon speaking, “You, what are you people doing? What do you want to do??”


  However, none of the royal guards paid them any attention. They merely tied the two of them up and flung them on the back of a horse before clamoring as they headed toward the Ministry of Justice’s prison.

  When Wei Mingli saw the words “Ministry of Justice” appear in front of her, she became dumbfounded.

  She trembled in a bout of anger, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

  It wasn’t from terror; it really was just anger.

  She could not help but look down and scrutinize herself.

  Wei Mingli and that carriage driver were dragged into the Ministry of Justice’s dungeon.

  The jailers cut to the chase and tied both of them to the posts used for interrogating criminals in the dungeon’s courtroom.

  A jailer cracked the whip that had been soaked in peppered water before giving her and the carriage driver a fierce smile.

  The hairs on Wei Mingli’s body stood on end.

  ?The carriage driver screamed like a butchered swine when the whip lashed out.

  “Tsk, tsk, tsk.” The royal guard captain watched on from the side in disdain. “Just from how you’re screaming like this from a single lash, how many times do you say you can take? Brother.”


  “D-Don’t hit me, don’t hit me. I am only a lowly carriage driver! Her ladyship was the one who instigated everything! It was her ladyship.”


  Just as the carriage driver finished his piece, Wei Mingli, who was tied to another post, was so infuriated that she kept kicking him. “What are you coward saying, you?”


  “Hit her, hit her! It really has nothing to do with me! This humble one is merely a hired passerby, wuwuwu.”
