Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110: See Gong Qiu Again
Shu Yu waved at him, “Co here, I’ll disguise you again, later we’ll go to the central judicial office prison cell.”
ng Yunzheng was puzzled, “Why are we going to the central judicial office prison cell?”
Shu Yu paused her actions and whispered, “To see Gong Qiu.”
“Hmm?”
“To give you one last layer of protection.” Shu Yu winked at him, then turned her head and continued to disguise herself.
ng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow, one last layer of protection?
He didn’t ask more, Shu Yu finished and sat him down in a chair, took so makeup products and started applying them on his face.
ng Yunzheng watched her face up close, especially the small black mole on her chin, and couldn’t help but smile.
Shu Yu hit him lightly, “Don’t move, you almost ssed up the eyebrows.”
“Ahem.” ng Yunzheng dared not move again, she could do whatever she wanted.
Both of them were disguised with ordinary features that wouldn’t stand out in a crowd, making it hard to recognize them even with a second glance.
At this critical juncture, it was possible soone was still watching them secretly. Therefore, to be cautious, the two of them left wearing curtain hats and then rode a carriage driven by Zhao Xi to the back courtyard of a restaurant near the central judicial office.
They stayed in the restaurant for a little under half an hour before Zhao Xi brought them out again, returning directly to a small courtyard in the south of the city, as if the three of them had rely gone out for a al.
No one knew that the two people who ca out from the restaurant had already switched places.
Inside the restaurant, Shu Yu and ng Yunzheng changed into the clothing of servants from the central judicial office, took entry and exit passes, and quietly entered the office.
Then they changed into the attire of Lord Jing’s attendants and followed Lord Jing into the prison cells of the central judicial office.
Lord Jing spoke as he walked, “You won’t have much ti, Gong Qiu is held in solitary confinent, guarded by the Fifth Prince’s people, so you can rest assured. However, the Ministry of Justice is always watching, you only have a quarter of an hour, speak quickly and co out.”
Fortunately, the matter of Gong Qiu’s treason was handled by the Fifth Prince, and since he was one of their own, they had this opportunity.
ng Yunzheng whispered, “Thank you.”
They soon reached the prison cell where Gong Qiu was held, and the guards, upon seeing Lord Jing, nodded slightly, probably instructed by the Fifth Prince, didn’t say a word, and went to the corner to keep watch for them.
Lord Jing also stepped back a few steps, giving them space to talk.
Gong Qiu shrank in a corner of the cell, showing no reaction even upon hearing voices, with an indifferent attitude.
ng Yunzheng and his companion stood outside the cell, vaguely seeing a mass in the corner.
It seed that the joint trial by the three departnts had been treating him fairly well, aside from so dirt, his body bore no traces of torture.
ng Yunzheng gazed coldly, Shu Yu tugged at him, and he finally spoke in a low voice, “Gong Qiu.”
The person in the corner initially had no reaction, but he quickly recognized whose voice it was, his body stiffened, and he suddenly turned his head.
The two faces at the cell door were completely unfamiliar to him.
When ng Yunzheng spoke again, he finally confird it wasn’t an illusion, imdiately stood up violently, and dragged his shackles towards the door.
Once he reached the front, his hands slamd heavily on the bars, eyes sharp, voice hoarse, “Gong Xiao! You still have the face to see , you beast!”
ng Yunzheng’s stare was equally icy, “Why wouldn’t I have the face? I’m just avenging my mother, letting you roam free for more than ten years, I’m already quite filial!”
