Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 139 Frame-up

Zhao Junning listened quietly to what the two said, his expression becoming increasingly heavy.

Finally, Xu Wenhe took a deep breath, seemed to muster up the courage, and continued: "Zi Yan has been arrested, and the charge is treason." As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence, as if time had frozen.

After hearing this, Zhao Junning was struck by lightning, and her body trembled violently, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant. She felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, and she couldn't breathe. She tightly grasped the cup in her hand, and her knuckles turned white due to excessive force.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "crack", and the teacup was crushed by Zhao Junning. The sharp fragments pierced her palm, and blood gushed out instantly, but she seemed unaware of it.

At this moment, Zhao Junning's breathing became extremely rapid, and a low whimper came from her throat: "This is clearly a frame-up! Everything is a carefully designed conspiracy, it's disgusting!" As she spoke, tears were already sliding down her pale cheeks like a dam breaking.

Her voice was full of anger and despair, and those crystal tears seemed to drip on everyone's heart, moving people.

Xu Wenhe frowned, his eyes revealing a trace of worry, and he stared at Zhou Aoyang closely. Zhou Aoyang knew that for Zhao Junning, Li Ziyan was always her bottom line that could not be touched, just like in her previous life. At this moment, her anger had obviously reached its peak.

Zhou Aoyang slowly took out a letter and a brocade bag from his arms, carefully handed them to Zhao Junning, and said softly: "This is what Li Ziyan asked me to pass on to you."

There were six characters written neatly on the envelope with a brush: From my wife Jun Ning. Zhao Jun Ning stretched out her trembling hands, as if the letter weighed a thousand pounds. She took the letter with difficulty, and her body felt as if it was pressed down by a huge stone. She sat back in the chair heavily.

Zhao Junning took a deep breath and gently opened the envelope. There were only three lines of words on the letter, but each word was like a sharp sword, piercing her heart: Don't worry, Junning, I will be fine, and I really miss you. These simple and plain words made Zhao Junning feel like her heart was being cut by a knife, and tears instantly blurred her eyes. She bit her lips tightly, trying not to cry out loud.

Then, Zhao Junning opened the brocade bag and found a lock of Li Ziyan's black hair and a note inside. The note read: "Hair extensions represent a couple, and their love is unquestionable. Junning, I believe this." Seeing this, Zhao Junning could no longer suppress her inner grief, and tears flowed out like a flood.

After a long time, Zhao Junning finally calmed down. She carefully put the letter away, stood up, looked at the two people in front of her with a firm gaze, and asked, "When will he return to Pingliang tomorrow?" Seeing that Zhao Junning was no longer so distressed, Xu Wenhe breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "About dusk."

After Zhao Junning learned about this, he frowned slightly and said firmly: "In this case, we must find a way to rescue him and clear his name!"

Zhou Aoyang looked at Zhao Junning and noticed a hint of ruthlessness and coldness in her eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "So what are your plans?"

Zhao Junning answered without hesitation: "Tomorrow, I will first meet him in person to confirm whether he is safe and sound. Then, I think my uncle, my father and my father-in-law must be trying to find evidence to give Zi Yan enough time to prove his innocence.

What I have to do is to wake His Majesty up. Therefore, I will go to the palace to meet the Fifth Princess the day after tomorrow. Her medical skills come from the lineage of the Medical Immortal, and I hope to ask her to help treat His Majesty. "After saying this, she clenched her fists tightly, showing her inner determination.

Zhou Aoyang stared at Zhao Junning, his eyes becoming more and more serious. Was she going to be involved in the palace disputes again? He was secretly worried.
