Chapter 38 The Mad Woman at the Palace Gate

"Where is the person? Didn't I just say that the third prince, Emperor Weikang, ordered him to come over? Where is he?"

A group of guards armed with knives stood at the door of the building and asked.

"Sir, it's inside. He just went in when I went to ask for help, and he should still be inside now."

Then came the sound of hurried footsteps.

When those people stood in front of the building, they found that there was no one in the cell except the prisoners, and the third prince had long disappeared.

"He should have taken him away, forget it."

"Sir, how can we get back to life like this? What if the emperor knows that the third prince has been here?"

The guard at the cell door said.

"That's all, since he is the third prince, what can we do? Since he is gone, then we have no choice but to return to life. Is it possible that we have to go to the third prince's palace to arrest him? Isn't it possible?"

The leading guard glared angrily at the people next to him and said.

I didn't expect this young guard to be so blind. Why would he arrest him when he was gone? He wasn't caught in person. After all, he was also a prince with a noble status.

"I'm wrong, I didn't mean it that way. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to go back and recover, sir."

After hearing what the adults said, the guard said in fear.

"Okay, don't mention this to anyone today, just stand your ground."

After saying that, these heavy footsteps disappeared instantly.

After the third prince came out, he walked directly outside the palace gate.

When I walked to the gate of the palace, I suddenly saw something happening in front of me, like a swarm of people gathering together.

"What happened before?"

He said to the guard next to him.

"The prince seems to have a woman today. There are wounds all over her body, her hair is messy, and she is hesitant to speak and cannot pronounce clearly. She is kneeling at the door as if she wants to cry out for someone. Someone should come to clean her up after a while.

Third Prince, don’t take it to heart, don’t be someone who doesn’t know who is here to cause trouble.”

After listening to the guard's words, the Third Prince no longer thought about this matter. After all, he had more important things to do now.

So he hurried on again, mounted his black horse, and prepared to drive to Wei Mansion.

"It's wrong, Your Majesty, it's wrong, Your Majesty, our Mr. Wei has always been an innocent man. He naturally knows how to serve the country and the people. He has been wronged, and I have found out all the people who framed him. Please, Your Majesty

Come meet me."

Suddenly, the cries of a woman being bullied reached his ears.

My heart trembled violently.

He stretched out his hand and quickly got off the horse, then pushed through the crowd and got in.

Sure enough, what caught his eyes was an unsightly picture.

The woman kneeling on the ground next to her was so unkempt, her hair was messy and buzzing, and there were a lot of branches and leaves mixed in. She looked like she hadn't washed her hair for three or four days, and her body was covered with astonishing ice.

There were even traces of blood on some wounds, her face was stained with tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked very haggard.

"Who are you?"

There were many onlookers at the city gate, and everyone gathered together to watch the fun.

Hearing the man's voice, the woman on the ground raised her eyes in panic and met the Third Prince's eyes.

"My lord, my lord, I am the wife of Prime Minister Wei. Please help me beg the emperor for mercy, please? Sir Wei was wronged. Please tell the emperor that I have found the traitor.

The maid who kept the palace drawings at home has been rigorously interrogated by me. Now I have escaped from home. The maid has been tied up at home by my order. But now I can't see the emperor's face, so

I beg you, please, please help me, please let me tell the emperor face to face, so that we can save our family."

The woman in front of her said with tears on her face. This miserable look made the people around her unable to help but feel moved. Because everyone did not know what happened in the Wei Mansion, they only thought that the woman in front of them was a crazy woman.

In addition to shaking his head and sighing, he was trying to persuade her.

"Whose wife are you from? You are quite old. You didn't run away because of some conflicts with your family, right?"

"Yes, yes, madam, who are you talking about, Mr. Wei? Is he Prime Minister Wei? We don't know when he was arrested. You don't look like a bad person. Maybe there is something wrong with your mind."

Everyone was talking to each other, but the third prince's expression was not so surprised, and he also attracted the attention of the woman kneeling in front of him.

"Mrs. Wei, please get up and come with me."

The third prince hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Wei who was kneeling on the ground, pushed aside the crowd, turned around and walked towards the palace again.

"Mrs. Wei, isn't the Wei Mansion already under strict control? How did you get out? It was such a coincidence that you came. I was just about to go out to pick you up, and you escaped, but the scars on your body are...

What's going on? Did those in custody still attack you?"

The two of them said as they walked towards the palace.

"Young Master, I saw that you are a good person. Those people outside the city gate don't know what happened in the Wei Mansion. They all think that I am crazy. Fortunately, I met you. Are you sent to my house by Mr. Wei?

How is your Excellency doing now? Is he okay now?"

Mrs. Wei said anxiously.

Her tone was full of worry.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, everything is normal now. Don't worry too much. Now we still need to make a long-term plan and sort out everything before we can go to the emperor. If we can't explain it clearly in front of the emperor, let's give it to you.

I gave those bad guys an opportunity so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to scheme again, so we went back to the room."

Mrs. Wei, who was standing next to the third prince, said in a deep voice, and then helped him back to his palace.

The maid who just saw the third prince walking away turned back, and there was a middle-aged woman who looked ragged beside her.

"Third Prince, you are back."

The maids at the door said respectfully.

"Close the door, don't disturb anyone, bring some hot food, and prepare a basin of hot water."

The third prince gave instructions to the maids behind him.

"Okay, Third Prince, let's go and do it now."

After entering the palace and closing the door, the Third Prince sat Mrs. Wei down, poured her a sip of hot tea, and sat on a stool himself.

"Mrs. Wei, how did you discover the traitor, and how did she admit it?"

The Third Prince frowned and asked in confusion.

"If it weren't for the honorific title that the maid gave you just now, I wouldn't have known you were the Third Prince. Please forgive me for being offended by the Third Prince for talking to you directly."

After Mrs. Wei learned that the third prince was in front of her, her tone became slightly more anxious.
