Han Yuqing held onto the wooden pillar of the prison, slid down weakly, and sat down on the cold ground, watching Gu Changsheng's figure slowly disappear from her sight.
She couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears.
"Why is this happening? Why?"
What landed her in jail
She was born into the Han family and was somewhat famous in Pan County.
Her father was a teacher who taught her poetry, literature and etiquette since she was young. The people she interacted with were all young men and women from wealthy families.
She once thought that when she reached a certain age, she would marry Gu Changsheng and then go to Beijing with Gu Changsheng.
She is as noble as Gu Changsheng.
Long ago, she knew that Gu Changsheng was no ordinary person, but a rare talent among men!
Therefore, even though she once despised Gu Changsheng for being stupid, she was willing to follow her father's arrangements, wait to grow up, and wait to get married.
Suddenly one day, she heard that Gu Changsheng’s stupidity was cured!
She was ecstatic and took the opportunity of being selected as a beautiful girl to move into the Gu family.
Sure enough, Gu Changsheng was not stupid, but extremely intelligent. Whether it was his appearance or his identity, she was deeply fascinated by him.
But, Xia Qianqian appeared! Gu Changsheng didn't want her anymore...
She was heartbroken and went to Beijing under her father's arrangement to participate in the imperial selection and become a princess. She had reached the pinnacle of her life, but still, she couldn't get Gu Changsheng!
He was sent to prison!
"Gu Changsheng, how could you do this to me?" Han Yuqing couldn't stop crying, "How am I inferior to Xia Qianqian? We grew up together. You are the prince, and I am the princess... I am the woman who deserves you..."
Han Yuqing was tired from crying and fell asleep on the floor.
She didn't know how long it had been before she heard someone calling her, "Yuqing."
"Godfather?" Han Yuqing woke up suddenly and saw King Qin standing outside the cell, looking at her worriedly.
"Godfather, you are finally here! Gotfather, please save me!" Han Yuqing knelt in the cell and kowtowed continuously.
"Alas!" King Qin sighed and said, "Yuqing, you are too impulsive. Why did you attack Xia Qianqian?"
"That little bitch Xia Qianqian is not worthy to compete with me! It's because of her that I can't represent the Qin Palace, marry the Qi Palace, and resolve old grudges. It's all because of her..." Han Yuqing shouted excitedly. Where was the slightest bit of the demeanor of a lady from a noble family
The King of Qin frowned, and a look of disgust flashed across his eyes.
"Godfather, please save Yuqing..."
"Yuqing, Xia Qianqian is now a favorite of the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine loves talents, and she was furious when she heard that Xia Qianqian was in danger. I pleaded with the Emperor, but was rejected." said the King of Qin.
Han Yuqing was stunned.
Even her adoptive father couldn't save her? What should she do
"Yuqing, just accept your fate for now! When there is a chance in the future, your adoptive father will rescue you." King Qin stepped forward, reached his hand into the prison, and helped Han Yuqing up.
"How long do we have to wait?" Han Yuqing asked in a hoarse voice.
The King of Qin said, "It's hard to say."
"Then am I... still a princess?" Han Yuqing asked.
The King of Qin shook his head: "The Emperor is furious and has stripped you of your status as a princess. It will be announced to the world tomorrow."
Han Yuqing's legs went limp and he collapsed to sit down again.
She is no longer a princess...
Then what qualifications does she have to compete with Xia Qianqian? !
How could she still have the dignity to stay in the capital
"Godfather, am I still your adopted daughter?" Han Yuqing asked with the last glimmer of hope.
