After speaking, Lin Jiaojiao stood up from the chair and turned to leave, saying, "You have one day to reflect. The trial is tomorrow. I hope you will consider it carefully."
After leaving that sentence behind, Lin Jiaojiao left the prison, leaving behind the sounds of clanking chains and weeping.
As she moved further away, these noises gradually faded, eventually disappearing from hear earshot.
Xiao Niqiu and Xuemei were waiting respectfully outside, along with Han Changgao.
Lin Jiaojiao gave a subtle nod to Han Changgao: "Mr. Han, I, the princess, will take my leave now."
Han Changgao bowed in response.
After leaving the Judicial Ministry, Lin Jiaojiao was deep in complex emotions. She looked at Xiao Niqiu, who seemed lost in thoughts, with a bewildered expression.
She said: "Xiao Niqiu, it seems I, the princess, have mistaken the person today. You don't need to be nervous."
