"I'm sorry!" Shangguan Qing kowtowed hard and looked up at Chu Dongling.
"The villain only thought that with the money, he could go out and buy medicine to treat his father's illness. He didn't expect that he would alert the prince and princess."
"The villain is at fault! Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Shangguan Qing bent down again and smashed his head to the ground.
"Qing'er." The old woman felt sorry for her son and rushed over to help Shangguan Qing.
"Your Majesty, everything Qing'er has done is for his father. If your Majesty wants to punish me, I will do it to the old slave. The old slave is incompetent and death is not a pity."
"Everyone, get up. Your Majesty and Bodhisattva are kind-hearted and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately!" Long Qian waved his hand.
Chu Dongling squeezed the fingers in his palm quietly.
Long Qian turned her head to look at him, then her eyes returned to the family of three: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Thank you, Princess!" The mother and son bowed and stood up together.
"Who is the mysterious person?" Long Qian asked.
Shangguan Qing frowned and shook his head: "Back to the princess, I don't know this."
"The villain went to Jinghua Town a few days ago. The mysterious person took the initiative to find the villain. They said they would take a shortcut back to the Imperial City and gave the villain a lot of money."
"In order to treat daddy, I can only..."
Chu Dongling's eyes darkened, and his whole body became increasingly cold.
Shangguan Qing just stood up and knelt down again with a "pop" sound.
"It is the villain's fault that he is greedy. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
"Presumptuous!" Shangguan Jingshu snorted coldly, "Even if I die, I don't want you to betray yourself or everyone else!"
"Dad." Shangguan Qing held Shangguan Jingshu's hand, "The child is unfilial and cannot share his worries for his father."
"If it weren't for the medicine Qing'er brought back, would you still be sitting and talking today?" The old woman shook her head.
"Sir, you have been an official for many years and have been honest and frugal. Why did you end up like this? How sad!"
Long Qian looked at Shangguan Jingshu carefully for a while and said softly: "Sir Shangguan's illness is not particularly serious."
"As long as you have enough medicinal materials and keep up with nutrition, you will definitely be able to recover."
Long Qian didn't know the specific situation.
She is not Qing'er, and she only knows the basics of medical matters.
"Princess, my father's condition has indeed improved, but..." Shangguan Qing frowned, "The medicine is too expensive, I wonder if..."
Shangguan Qing didn't understand what nutrition was, but he knew about medicinal materials.
"The prince is here, everyone, don't worry." Long Qian subconsciously patted the back of Chu Dongling's palm.
"The most important thing now is the sale of women in Qinglian Town. Isn't this a civilized society? How can something like this happen again?"
Long Qian didn't know what society was like now, but he felt that with the man beside him, he wouldn't allow this to happen.
She caught the eyes of many people, and finally her eyes returned to Chu Dongling.
"My lord, what do you think of this matter?"
Chu Dongling looked at her, still gently playing with the little finger in his hand and saying nothing.
Seeing this, Yun Hongsi coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Shangguan Qing, do you know that the mysterious person is arresting the princess?"
"If the prince hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
"I don't know, I don't know." Shangguan Qing's spine felt cold and he bent down suddenly, "Princess, I'm really sorry!"
"If they go to Qinglian Town, will you still accept the money?" Long Qian asked.
"No." Shangguan Qing straightened his back and shook his head, "A villain will never participate in the sale of women even if he dies."
"Let's go." Suddenly, Chu Dongling stood up and walked out.
Long Qian spread her short legs and followed his footsteps: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
