This token should only be owned by the palace, how could Chen Jiaxi know?

Zhining put away the token and walked towards Chen Jiaxuan's room. However, there was no one in the Chen family's room.

Zhining took a deep look at Chen Jiaxuan's room, her eyes suddenly became moist. She suddenly remembered yesterday when Chen Jiaxue was standing at the door and told her that he had something to give her. However, she ignored him. He even coldly rejected him. It turned out that what he had wanted to give her last night was this medallion. This medallion was the command medallion of the Great General of Zhenyuan, and this medallion sometimes prevented the death of the golden plate.

At this moment, what he gave her was not the meaning of a gold medal that could save her from death, but rather the affection of family, the boundless affection that her loved ones had given her.

After taking a deep breath and taking another glance at Chen Jiaxue's room, ZhiNing turned and left.

In front of the prison, the security was even more tight. The heavy soldiers had almost made the entire prison impenetrable. It must have been because she wanted to sneak into the prison last night.

ZhiNing secretly inhaled, then walked towards the cell door with a calm expression.

The prison guard looked at ZhiNing with displeasure, and coldly called out to her, "Stop."

ZhiNing stopped walking, took out the death-saving gold medal from her bosom, held it high in her hand, and coldly looked around at the crowd. "The death-saving gold medal is here, seeing it is like seeing the emperor, aren't you going to kneel?"

All the jailers were stunned. They glanced at the token in Zhining's hands, and although they were unwilling, they still knelt down respectfully, "Long live the Emperor!" Then all those kneeling on the ground rose to their feet.

Keeping the token in her hand, ZhiNing strode towards the cell door.

"Halt." The jailer stood in front of Zhining and looked at her coldly.

ZhiNing reached out her hand and struck the jailer on the arm, causing him to feel pain as he let his arm drop to the ground. Zhining looked at the jailer in extreme displeasure, her voice almost ice-cold, "Impudent, you dare to block me with the token in my hand?"

The jailer held onto his aching arm and confidently looked back at Zhining. "The emperor has his orders. Unless the emperor himself comes, no one can enter the prison."

Zhi Ning's face changed slightly. Previously, she had taken the plate Long Ao Tai had given to Bing'er to look at Nanhai, but had been rejected by the prison guard. Even now, the Gold Medallion for Life and Death was useless in front of the jailers. She still could not see the Southern Ocean!

His heart immediately sank to the bottom. If he couldn't even see the Gold Medallion for sure, who else could see the Southern Sea? Could it be that only the Emperor could see the Southern Sea?

She raised her head and looked deeply at the door of the cell. She was only one wall away from the Southern Sea, but the distance between them was like the distance between the sky and the sea.

From the corner of her eyes, Zhining glanced around her. Other than the soldiers, there were also prison wardens. These people all emitted a cold killing intent. When this killing intent gathered together, it exuded a cold and gloomy aura, causing Zhining to involuntarily shiver. Even if she forced her way in, before she saw the Southern Sea, she would die outside the prison.

Sighing helplessly, ZhiNing turned around and left the prison. From the looks of it, she would only be able to see the Southern Seas after she had wiped out the old general's grievances and returned the old general's innocence.

As soon as Zhining turned around, she saw a luxurious carriage slowly stop in front of the dungeon's door. The attendant who was driving the carriage lifted the curtain of the carriage's door. An old man wearing a dark blue, noble, and luxurious robe was being supported by a carriage boy at home. He got off the carriage.

The old man's thick eyebrows were white, his gaze sharp, and his face ice-cold. With the help of the manservant, he slowly walked up to Zhining, sizing her up from head to toe.

The old man seemed to want to see through Zhining. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to make her feel an invisible pressure. Without decades of experience, it was impossible to have such sharp eyes.

Zhining stood still, sizing up the old man while simultaneously carefully observing the old man's demeanor and movements. Although the old man's face was frosty, he had to remember to be graceful. Every action he made was very orderly and he didn't look like an ordinary person.

"Eunuch Ning." The jailer who had intercepted Zhining stepped forward and was the first to recognize the old man. He respectfully greeted him.

ZhiNing was slightly stunned. She had long since heard of Eunuch Ning's great name. He was the emperor's famous person, and the emperor trusted him greatly.

The elder's sharp eyes swept across every prison warden present, then he looked at the command medallion in Zhining's hands, and slowly opened his mouth, "Whose order?" The light tone was like a spring breeze that blew across everyone's hearts. However, the sharpness in the tone caused them to shiver.

All the prison wardens looked at each other, at a loss as if they didn't know what Eunuch Ning was asking.

Eunuch Ning's expression immediately turned icy. With a cold snort of disdain, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Gold Medallion of Immunity in Zhining's hand, "Who said that not even Gold Medals of Immunity can enter this cell?"

All the jailers were stunned. The jailer slowly walked up to Eunuch Ning and cupped his fists as he reported respectfully, "Reporting to Eunuch Ning, this subordinate has received the order of the Minister of Justice, Zhuang Shangcheng, who ordered that no one was to be admitted into this cell."

Eunuch Ning looked coldly at the jailer and spoke in a cold voice. " Impudent! You, a mere jailer, actually dared to reject the emperor! The Gold Medal of Immunity represents the presence of the Emperor, and yet you are here to stop it. Anyone who disobeys the Gold Medallion will be disobeying the Emperor! " The meaning behind his words was that whoever dared to defy the emperor would be sentenced to death!

The jailer's expression turned unsightly as he knelt at Eunuch Ning's feet without a second thought. He looked at Eunuch Ning in fear. "Eunuch, please spare me! This lowly one is just following orders!" He couldn't afford to disobey imperial orders!

ZhiNing watched from the side as the jailer humbly kneeled down in front of Eunuch Ning, begging pitifully for his life like a dog. She couldn't help but despise the jailer. Where had his domineering attitude gone?

"Humph!" Eunuch Ning turned his head away, not even sparing a glance at the head of the prison. " Don't even mention you, even Zhuang Shangcheng wouldn't dare to stop the Gold Medallion from dying! A little jailer like you actually doesn't put the emperor in his eyes, what's the use of keeping you alive? " Eunuch Ning asked the jailer in an indifferent tone.

The head of the prison collapsed to the ground.

At this time, a carriage quickly came over. It didn't bring the carriage to stop the people on top of the carriage. Zhuang Shangcheng impatiently jumped down from the carriage and walked a few steps, clad in a long coat, towards Eunuch Ning. He clasped his hands together and looked at Eunuch Ning with a smile as he said politely, "How can I have the time to come here when I'm busy with matters of the palace?"

Eunuch Ning snorted disdainfully, not giving Zhuang Shangcheng any face at all. He cast a cold glance at the collapsed prison and then looked at Zhuang Shangcheng with displeasure, "Mr. Zhuang, I heard that those who hold the Gold Medallion of Immunity cannot enter this cell. Is that true?" Eunuch Ning asked Zhuang Shangcheng calmly.

Zhuang Shangcheng's expression changed slightly. Quickly he opened his mouth to answer, "Never! "It is as if I have seen the Emperor. Even if I had the guts, I would not dare to defy the imperial edict!"

"Lord?!" The head of the prison laid on the ground and looked at Zhuang Shangcheng with an expression of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that what Zhuang Shangcheng had just said was true.

Zhining, who was standing at the side, could not help but snort. He had not expected it to be him! Zhuang Shang City.

No wonder he couldn't even see Southern Sea with a Gold Medallion. So it was all because of him. It could be said that the path of enemies was narrow between them. If Southern Sea fell into his hands, he would definitely suffer a lot.
