The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 170 Dali Temple Prison

Because of the reminder in Tang Peipei's words, Lord Qiu also put down what he was doing and hurried into the palace.

The biggest suspect in this matter now is Tang Peipei, so she can't go home for the time being.

He could only be placed in the Dali Temple Prison.

As you walk through the prison gate, what comes into view is a dim corridor. Going further in, you can smell a faint pungent odor.

Tang Peipei quickly took out her handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.

Fang Chengyou, who was assigned to bring her in, saw her like this and knew that she was a woman after all, and might not be used to the smell in the prison.

He quickened his pace and continued walking inside with Tang Peipei.

Soon I saw the prison cells where the prisoners were held, and there were all kinds of people in them.

When he saw someone coming, he didn't care who it was and shouted, "Sir, sir, I am innocent!"

Some even wanted to tear off their clothes.

Fang Chengyou was used to it, and shouted angrily: "Behave yourself, or else don't blame me for being rude!"

Tang Peipei didn't realize that this gentle-looking man could actually be quite powerful when he got angry.

When the prisoners saw Fang Chengyou getting angry, they were afraid that he would really beat them up, so they shut up, returned to where they were sitting quietly, and watched them pass by.

Going further inside, Tang Peipei saw the legendary ancient interrogation tools.

Some of the tools even had blood on them.

Tang Peipei is a doctor, and he didn't react much when he saw this scene.

There is another cell further on, but the people in this cell are much more honest than those in the previous ones.

When they saw them coming, they would just look at them curiously and then ignore them.

Tang Peipei was placed in the innermost cell.

The cell was covered with hay and had only a wooden bed without even a blanket.

Fang Chengyou opened the door of the cell and motioned Tang Peipei to go in.

Tang Peipei took a look and although she felt a little melancholy, she went in honestly.

There is no other way but to go in. I am afraid that there are witnesses and evidence in this case now. It’s just that Concubine Shu is not dead yet, so she was imprisoned here unharmed.

However, it is also because Lord Qiu of the Dali Temple is a good official.

Now she can only hope that they can save Concubine Shu's life, so that she may still have a chance of survival, or maybe Mu Jintang can find out who really harmed Concubine Shu.

Otherwise, she was afraid she would really die again.

Thinking that I might die, I felt very reluctant.

If she had just arrived, she might have wondered if she could return to the modern era after she died.

But now, she has relatives here, Xiaotuanzi, and Mu Jintang, so even if she was asked to go back, she would not be willing to do so.

Seeing her worried look, Fang Chengyou said, "Mrs. Mu, don't worry. Lord Qiu will get to the bottom of this matter. If you need any help, you can also tell me. As long as it is not against morality, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Tang Peipei was immersed in her own thoughts, but when she heard Fang Chengyou's words, she looked up at him.

Seeing him looking at her sincerely, Tang Peipei knew that he really wanted to help her.

Then he smiled at him gratefully and said, "Thank you, Master Fang! Could you help me find a bed and quilt? It's too cold and damp here."

Since the other party sincerely wants to help and she really needs it, she should naturally seize the opportunity.

But she doesn't make things difficult for others. If it's not possible, she won't force it.

Unexpectedly, Fang Chengyou nodded readily and said, "Don't worry, Lord Qiu has given instructions before, and someone will bring it in a while."

After hearing what he said, Tang Peipei felt even more grateful to Lord Qiu.

What kind of good official must he be to be so thoughtful!

What Tang Peipei didn't know was that the reason she received such preferential treatment in the Dali Temple was entirely because her husband had once saved the life of Qiu Gengyin's youngest son.

So for Qiu Gengyin, it was totally stress-free to just give Tang Peipei some preferential treatment.

Before leaving, Fang Chengyou asked Tang Peipei if she needed help delivering a message to her family, but Tang Peipei shook her head.

There was nothing to say. She had already told Mu Jintang everything she needed to say, and they already knew everything they needed to know.

Seeing this, Fang Chengyou said goodbye and left.

Just as Fang Chengyou said, not long after, two yamen runners came with two quilts and some food.

After handing the things to Tang Peipei, they left.

Tang Peipei made the quilt herself and it seemed that she was finally warm. Otherwise, in such a cold day, she really didn't know whether her body could hold on until they found out the truth.

After making the bed, she felt a little hungry, so she took out some food.

It was a bowl of white rice with two stir-fried vegetables, one of which had meat.

I didn't expect Qiu Gengyin to arrange it so well, and Tang Peipei also had some doubts in her heart.

At this time, two jailers who were guarding the cell also brought food over, which was porridge and steamed buns, nothing else.

He looked at the food in the hand of the prisoner next to him, and then looked at his own.

Tang Peipei became more confused.

It seems that it has a lot to do with Mu Jintang.

Since there is good food, then eat well. Don’t get sick before you are rescued.

Tang Peipei quickly finished her meal in a few bites and went back to lie down on the bed.

With a thick quilt, it is still warm to sleep.

Although the conditions here are not good, compared with others, she is still doing well.

From then on, Tang Peipei settled down there with peace of mind.

There was nothing to do during that time and he felt bored, so he secretly gave some silver to the jailers and asked them to help buy some books for him.

The jailers were all curious to see that except for mealtimes, she would lie on the bed, hiding under the quilt and reading books by candlelight.

I'm afraid you're treating this place as your own home?

It seems that he has no sense of being in jail at all.

However, thinking that his daily meals were arranged by Lord Qiu himself, and knowing that this person was probably of high status, no one dared to say much and just pretended not to see it.

As long as they don't commit any crime, why do I care how other people live here?

Tang Peipei stayed here for three days in a row.

Mu Jintang only had time to visit her once at night. Seeing that she was doing well, he felt relieved.

Seeing that apart from some bruises under his eyes, his mental state was pretty good, Tang Peipei felt a lot more at ease.

Mu Jintang looked a little haggard, but because the progress was relatively smooth, he knew what was going on and was in good spirits.

"Peipei, just wait for me here. I will come and pick you up in a few days."

Tang Peipei felt distressed when she saw him like this. She held back her tears and nodded, "Well, I will stay here and wait for you to take me home."

Seeing her tears in her eyes, Mu Jintang thought that Tang Peipei was afraid here alone, so he gently put his arm around her waist and comforted her, "I'm sorry! Don't be afraid, I will find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible and not let you suffer here alone."

Tang Peipei hugged him back and said, "Jintang, even if it's for my sake, you have to take good care of yourself. It hurts to see you like this."

Mu Jintang then realized that his little wife was not crying because she was afraid. After all, if she could run to the epidemic area in Qianzhou by herself, how could she be frightened by the prison cell in Dali Temple?

Touched, he couldn't help but tighten his arms around Tang Peipei.

If the place was not inappropriate, he really wanted to kiss his little wife. He had not seen her for several days and he missed her very much, especially the smell of her.

Tang Peipei didn't know that in such a sentimental atmosphere, Mu Jintang's thoughts were drifting further and further away.

It was not until the time was up and she had to leave that Mu Jintang reluctantly let go of Tang Peipei.

Before leaving, he only said: "Wait for me."

Tang Peipei nodded.

This wait lasted another three days.
