Chapter 218 Ruan Xue clears Jiang Xue of suspicion.
Prince Yan didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he told the maid beside him, "Why don't you take the princess downstairs to find a doctor?"
The maid hurried over and wanted to help Jiahe down.
Jiahe suppressed his anger and stared at Lin Yiyi, feeling like torturing her a thousand times in his heart.
Lin Yiyi looked at Jiahe with a smile, with a victorious attitude, and said, "Princess Jiahe, I'll be waiting for you."
"Hmph." Jiahe angrily shook his sleeves and turned away.
Seeing Jiahe going back with a chubby face, Lin Yiyi couldn't help but laugh.
Prince Yan shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"Why? Afraid that I'd run into you and the princess?"
"No, you just saw it, I didn't do anything."
Lin Yiyi raised her lips and said, "I just heard that you two have known each other since childhood. Are you childhood sweethearts?"
When Wang Ziyan heard this, his eyebrows drooped and he said hurriedly, "That's not how you use childhood sweethearts."
"How to use it?"
"They are a perfect match, they love each other, they have been close friends since childhood, and they grew up together."
"Pfft!" Lin Yiyi couldn't help laughing, pinched Wang Ziyan's handsome face, and said, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I came here today to discuss our marriage."
"Really?"
"Really? My father is discussing this with the Marquis in the front hall."
"Then I'll go take a look." After Wang Ziyan finished speaking, he rushed to the front hall impatiently. Lin Yiyi grabbed him and said, "The elders are discussing something, what are you doing there?"
"I'll go see if I can help."
"You are not allowed to go." Lin Yiyi ordered.
Prince Yan stopped and nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't go." Then he said with a smile, "Will I take you around?"
Lin Yiyi looked around, the pavilions, terraces, ancient buildings, and gurgling streams, which were very suitable for the appearance of the Marquis's Mansion, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
However, just as he finished speaking, he heard a clear male voice, "Zi Yan?"
Wang Ziyan and Lin Yiyi looked over.
Wang Zijun had already walked up to the two of them. Wang Ziyan frowned slightly and asked in surprise: "Brother, you are back?"
"Yes." Wang Zijun looked at Lin Yiyi with a smile and said, "This is..."
"She is Prime Minister Lin's daughter, Yiyi."
A hint of surprise flashed across Wang Zijun's eyes, and then he clenched his hands on both sides suddenly and stared at Lin Yiyi carefully.
Lin Yiyi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she asked, "Do we know each other?"
Wang Zijun hesitated for a moment, then said, "No, I don't know him."
Wang Ziyan took Lin Yiyi's hand, not caring at all, and said with a smile: "Brother, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take Yiyi around."
"Okay." Wang Zijun nodded with a smile.
After Lin Yiyi and Wang Ziyan left, Wang Zijun's eyes, which had been smiling just now, immediately became deep.
He stared at Lin Yiyi's receding figure and murmured, "You don't recognize me anymore."

Under the city gate.
Most of the people in the capital gathered here. Miss Jiang was going to be beheaded today. Many people were very curious. Why was General Jiang not making any move when Miss Jiang was beheaded?
It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, but no one from the Ministry of Justice came to escort Jiang Xue over.
The crowd was talking below, all of them just wanting to watch the fun.
The person who was getting impatient with waiting said loudly, "I think the Ministry of Justice is just using Miss Jiang as a cover. It's been so long, and Miss Jiang hasn't come yet."
"Yes, I heard that Miss Jiang is kind and beautiful. How could she do such a murder? She must have been framed."
"It's been so long, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
There were many different opinions below. Several people hidden in the crowd nodded and looked at each other, and then someone pointed to a place not far away and shouted, "Look, it's Miss Jiang."
After hearing this, everyone turned around and saw Ruan Xue wearing a goose yellow dress, followed by people from the Ministry of Justice, slowly walking towards Xingtai.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice sighed, then looked at Ruan Xue and said, "Let's get started."
Jiang Xue nodded slightly, then bowed to the people in the audience and said, "Everyone, I am not the daughter of the Jiang family. Someone wants me to die for the real Jiang Xue so that they can steal the real Jiang Xue and take her for themselves."
"What?" The people below were surprised. "She is not Jiang Xue, then who killed her?"
After Ruan Xue finished speaking, she slowly took off the mask on her face. Under the mask was a face that could not be more ordinary, with single eyelids and cherry lips that were completely bloodless.
This action shocked the people. In such a broad day and night, how could someone do such a thing? It was truly heartless!
"Yeah, I feel really sorry for Miss Jiang. I wonder how she is doing now?"
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at the people below who were talking about it, and he stood up and shouted loudly: "Everyone, since Miss Jiang is not a suspect, this person was also framed, it was a misunderstanding, and the real murderer, we will do our best to find the real murderer."
"We must find the murderer and bring him to justice!"
Someone below shouted angrily, and then other people followed suit. The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice glanced at Ruan Xue and said, "You can leave now."
Ruan Xue nodded slightly.
Leave people from the Ministry of Justice there to pacify the people.
Mu Feng walked through the crowd, whistling with a relaxed look on his face, and then said to Ruan Xue who was following behind him: "Go back to Wanhe Hall by yourself, I have something important to take care of."
"Okay." Ruan Xue nodded slightly and walked towards Wanhetang.
Mu Qi, hiding in the crowd, looked at Ruan Xue who had already left. His expression changed slightly, and then he quickly left the crowd.
Cheng Wangfu.
Li Lingxuan frowned slightly as he listened to Mu Qi talking about what had just happened at the city gate. It seemed that he was really too anxious.
"Well..." Li Lingxuan stood up lazily, supporting himself on the table. His brows were cold and an evil smile appeared on his beautiful face.
"It's been delayed for a few days, and the Queen Mother's side should be resolved by now."
"Yes." Mu Qi bowed slightly.
"Okay, it's time to get down to business." Li Lingxuan slowly patted the wrinkles on his robe and then said softly, "Let's go into the palace."
"Yes."
Pei Mansion.
Jiang Xue helped Pei Zhijin sit in the yard, then she brought a plate of sliced apples and sat next to Pei Zhijin, eating leisurely.
Pei Zhijin had his hair half-disheveled and wore a moon-white robe. He no longer had the dashing look he had before with his hair tied up, but he was still handsome.
Jiang Xue took a bite of the apple and then stared at Pei Zhijin.
Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue staring at him and turned his head away uncomfortably, "Why are you staring at me?"
While eating, Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and said bluntly: "I feel that after letting my hair down, my eyebrows and eyes are much gentler and softer."
Pei Zhijin frowned slightly after hearing this, looked at Jiang Xue and said, "You mean I looked cold before?"
"Yes." Jiang Xue nodded, took another bite of the apple and chewed it slowly.
