The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 637: Blessing in Disguise - My Sister (2)_1

Mo Heng related how he had inexplicably been arrested, accused of poisoning the Emperor and the imperial palace, and tortured in the Ministry of Justice prison.

Knowing that Mo Heng had been gifted since childhood, aloof and lofty, Xiao Guangbi understood that Mo Heng would not take the initiative to ask for help, nor did he mind his indifference. He left behind two bottles of Imperial Golden Wound Medicine, "... medicine for burns and another for scar removal will be sent by my people later. Rest assured for now, I will vindicate you and get you out of prison!"

"Thank you, Prince! I will never forget your great kindness and lifesaving grace in this lifetime—I am ready to shatter my body to repay you!" Pei Qin grinned, bowing towards him.

Seeing her act in such a way, Xiao Guangbi had a fleeting thought that she was not looking to show gratitude but to shatter her body to take revenge on him. Watching her apparently moved to tears, he shook his head, chuckled, and then turned to leave the cell.

Watching him walk away, Pei Qin turned to look at Mo Heng.

Mo Heng pursed his lips and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, holding the two bottles of Imperial Golden Wound Medicine, "This is the imperial court’s best medicine; I will apply it to you in a moment."

Pei Qin looked down at the two small porcelain bottles in his hand.

Mo Heng nodded, knowing that Xiao Guangbi wished to use them, to have them scheme and risk their lives for him. Such a sinister plan, and now it’s his turn to play his part. In order to gain his trust, he wouldn’t tamper with the medicine.

After Pei Qin changed her dressing to the golden sore medicine reserved for the imperial family, she indeed found it different from ordinary medicine; within half a day, she felt the wound no longer burn with pain.

And the person Xiao Guangbi sent arrived, bringing not only the burn medicine but also the scar removal cream, exquisite nourishments, clean clothes, and cotton blankets.

Even Fang Liuming and Fang Fu outside were taken care of, with someone informing them there was no need to blindly search for evidence any longer, for Prince He Qing had already petitioned the Emperor to investigate the case and would exonerate Mo Heng and Pei Qin, releasing them from prison.

With such a high-status prince intervening in the case, the two immediately felt as if a heavy stone had been lifted from their hearts. Surely, with his involvement, they would clear the names of Pei Qin and Mo Heng!

Upon hearing the news, Shen Songming hurried to visit the prison, "Why has Prince He Qing also gotten involved?"

"Prince He Qing truly is a sage. He not only intends to uncover the truth to restore our reputations and free us from prison, but he’s also sent us the best medicines, food, and clothing. We are deeply touched!" Pei Qin said, and if her burned hands had allowed it, she would have wiped away her tears.

Shen Songming, having known her well in the modern era, realized that if she praised someone like this, it definitely meant the opposite! Could there be something fishy about this Prince He Qing? His thoughts quickly turned to Ms. Liangsan, who had been granted the title of County Magistrate in her previous life. She must have known of Pei Qin’s capabilities, so upon rebirth, she had already made several attempts on Pei Qin’s life. Failing that, she now sought to make peace. With such a malicious scheme, she tried to trap Pei Qin into serving their cause.

His gaze shifted to Mo Heng. With such a ruthless strategy, Mo Heng had no means to foresee and defend against it, but now that he knew who the hidden enemy was, he surely had the ability to strike back! Otherwise, he might as well return Pei Qin to Shen Songming obediently!

"As far as I’m aware, Consort Yu and Consort Xian are jointly in charge of the Phoenix Seal, managing the harem affairs. Prince He Qing holds significant influence as well; he’s a capable man, and his promises should be fulfilled. He will clarify the truth and exonerate us," Mo Heng spoke to him.

Shen Songming frowned, the blind fool still pretending to comply with Xiao Guangbi!?

"Damn plastic face! I..." Pei Qin couldn’t help but curse, but then thought better of it. Now was not the time. Her cover was blown, her Pinyin skills were known, and who knew about her English—better hold back for now!

Hearing her curse, Shen Songming contemplated Xiao Guangbi’s face and gave her a thumbs-up in agreement, "Exactly!" If it weren’t for the lack of cosmetic surgery facilities here, he would indeed be suspect.
