Marry a Duke

Chapter 73 Prison

Fu Ran was taken to the Ministry of Justice. The poison in Fu Ran's body would not be fatal.

She has the antidote herself, and after taking it, the poison will be cured.

The emperor had spoken, and no one dared to act recklessly anymore.

If she acted recklessly at this moment, she would undoubtedly hand her handle to Wei Xuan.

Ministry of Justice Prison

She was a pregnant woman. According to the law of the big month, the pregnant woman was guilty, but the fetus in her womb was innocent. Even if she was imprisoned, she could not be punished.

But Chen Shu was different. As soon as he entered the Ministry of Justice, various punishments were waiting for him.

Fu Ran was arranged in a room with a window in the middle. The air in the prison was not fresh, but fortunately it was not too bad and he could bear it.

The cell was covered with straw and matted.

Fu Ran sat on the straw mat, waiting to be interrogated by the Ministry of Justice.

The Minister of Justice still has some friendship with Wei Xuan, but it cannot be used openly.

The emperor's eyes and ears are here, and this matter concerns the emperor's personal safety. If the Minister of Justice takes any unusual action, it will bring trouble to Wei Xuan.

The Minister of Justice sent some things to Fu Ran's prison on the pretext of taking care of a pregnant woman.

There are quilts and pillows, but this kind of environment is not meant to be enjoyed.

"Baby, will you blame your mother for being locked up before you were even born? But for the sake of our freedom, it doesn't matter if you're locked up now. It's better than being locked up for the rest of your life."

She put her hands on her belly and spoke softly to the baby in her belly.

Today, she has clearly stood with Wei Xuan and exposed ***, completely breaking off relations with ***.

The baby in my belly moved.

It seemed like he was responding to her.

Fu Ran smiled.

It feels so good to have a child. I no longer feel like I’m alone in such a strange world.

Her blood and bones are here.

At the other end of the prison is the interrogation room.

From time to time there were howling sounds.

The voice was shrill.

Fu Ran couldn't rest, but her mood was stable. The Dayue Dynasty had a law that prohibited torturing pregnant women, which was a good thing. She was not afraid of being taken away and forced to confess.

She had no interest in those torture methods.

The emperor has already ordered that the matter be investigated as soon as possible, so the Ministry of Justice dare not delay for even a moment.

We have to investigate day and night to present the evidence to the emperor as soon as possible.

At dinner time, a meal and two dishes were served.

They are all new. Fu Ran sighed again, saying that Dayuechao is really good for pregnant women.

When she said this, the jailer who delivered the food looked at her in confusion.

Fu Ran was about to ask when he left.

She didn't have much of an appetite, but she didn't want to waste food, and the little one in her belly also needed enough nutrition.

In the dimly lit environment, Fu Ran finished his meal slowly, bit by bit.

She didn't call anyone, but just put away the dishes and put them aside.

She is in prison, so she should try not to attract attention.

The sky outside the window is already dark.

Fu Ran moved back to the straw mat. She didn't dare lie down, for fear that some snake, insect, rat or ant might pop out from the ground.

She sat against the wall and rested.

Close your eyes and hear all kinds of sounds.

She ignored them all.

Just when she thought she was asleep, someone opened her cell.

Someone picked her up.

The sudden weightlessness startled her and she opened her eyes in panic.

"Don't you say pregnant women are not allowed to be beaten?" she blurted out.

When she arrived at the Ministry of Justice, her ears were filled with painful cries, so she subconsciously thought that those who touched her must be intending to torture her.

"it's me."

The deep voice made Fu Ran completely sober.

She couldn't quite tell whether it was reality or a dream.

Why is Wei Xuan here?

He is a suspect now. Doesn't his appearance here give *** a handle?

And the way he was holding her, was he going to take her away from the prison?

Is this really appropriate?

Is he abusing his power for personal gain?

"Duke, please put me down first." She pushed his chest and asked him to put her down.

But he was like a big tree, motionless.

"What else do you want to do? Haven't you stayed here long enough?" There was still a hint of coldness in his tone.

He is not happy.

"That's not the case." She wasn't stupid, who would like to stay here? "Now the matter has not been thoroughly investigated, the Duke will take me out now, how are you going to defend yourself in front of the Emperor?"

She won't leave.

She had wanted to help him in the first place, and if in the end she hadn't been able to help him at all, how could she ask for a favor from him?

How can I convince him to let her go?

"The matter has been investigated. Chen Shu was instructed by the ***. He has confessed. This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't have to stay in jail any longer."

He ignored her request and walked out of the cell with her in his arms.

With him were Bi'an, Gaomian and two people she had never seen before.

Fu Ran's mind calmed down for a while and he finally sorted out what was happening. The person who had been tortured was Chen Shu, and he confessed. All the truth was revealed.

Wei Xuan naturally no longer had to bear the suspicion.

This matter was instigated by ***.

Therefore, everything she did was valuable.

He came in person to pick her up from prison, recognizing her worth.

Fu Ran's eyes lit up and his mood instantly became very good. He recalled everything that had happened in prison that day.

"That's great, Duke, please put me down. I can walk by myself. I have never been tortured here." Fu Ran didn't dare to struggle too much for fear of falling.

It doesn't matter if she gets hurt, but it's not good if the child gets hurt.

Wei Xuan ignored her and carried her out of the prison.

The moment she walked out of the prison door, a black coat was directly covered over her head.

Fu Ran has a petite figure, and the outer shirt belongs to Wei Xuan. It covers Fu Ran completely.

Only a pair of feet wearing embroidered shoes were revealed.

The Minister of Justice did not come closer, but just looked at him from a distance.

I have never seen the Duke of Weiguo walking like this while holding a girl in his arms.

It turns out that my wife is different.

Fu Ran was carried into the carriage and her face was revealed. Her little face was flushed red, but her eyes were extremely bright.

Wei Xuan glanced at her and then looked away.

"My Lord, Chen Shu has admitted his guilt. Will the *** admit his guilt as well? If the *** does not admit his guilt, will Chen Shu be tortured into confessing, or will he be accused of deliberately making an implication?"

"Although *** has not admitted it, it will be fine as long as the emperor agrees." He has presented the evidence to the emperor.

Including the poison and antidote of the Tianshan Cloud Needle that Fu Ran had given him before.

"She won't give up until the *** admits it." She was a little anxious, "Does the Duke have any other way to deal with it?"

"You don't have to worry about what happens next. I don't have the time to find fault with me." He fixed his eyes on her, making sure that she was indeed uninjured and in good spirits before turning his eyes away.

"Why?" Fu Ran didn't quite understand. "This is probably the most important thing for *** right now."

Seeing her confused face, Wei Xuan didn't want to say anything.

Now I told her everything.

"*** discovered that the Duke of England's kindness to her for many years was all fake. Not only did he have a mistress, but she also gave birth to two sons. The eldest son is already thirteen years old."
