Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 487: Dare not act rashly
He is indeed not a competent brother and still needs his sister to calm him down.
"Oh, by the way, brother, there is someone I want you to help me investigate."
Jiang Xue thought of the Yama-like man she saw in Cao Yuan's house, so she picked up a pen and tried to describe what he looked like. To be honest, apart from the impressive eyes, she couldn't remember many facial features.
Therefore, the portrait drawn cannot clearly identify the person at all.
Jiang Chen looked at the blurred and unclear portrait and frowned, "Xiaoxue, it's really hard to verify with just your eyes."
"These eyes look like someone else's."
Xiao Zhan stared into those bright eyes, and a name flashed through his mind.
"Is it really possible that person could come to Beixi?" As soon as Xiao Zhan finished speaking, Jiang Xue showed a surprised expression.
"It's too rash to judge a person just by his eyes." Jiang Chen said coldly when he saw that his sister was unhappy about Xiao Zhan's joy.
"It's just a guess and may not be accurate. Besides, the chance of that person appearing here is very small. Maybe I'm overthinking it." Xiao Zhan responded with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. I'm just a little curious about that person. Since I can't find out, let it go." Jiang Xue waved her hand lightly.
"However, in this selection for the Cao Family Compound, there was indeed a woman who stayed with me until the end. Do you know which family she is from?" Jiang Xue asked.
"I heard that a quota for nobles was temporarily added in the selection, maybe it's the woman you mentioned. I have sent people to investigate her identity, and there will be results soon." Jiang Chen explained.
At this moment, an attendant came in and reported: "Master, Hu Yin's major general has arrived."
Mo Chenjun walked in with a serious face.
"What brings you here, Young General?" Mo Chenjun looked unhappy, and Jiang Chen had a bad feeling in his heart.
When Xiao Zhan saw Mo Chenjun's serious expression, he also felt that the matter was not simple, so he stood next to Jiang Xue.
Mo Chenjun sighed and said, "Come on, please ask Miss Si to come with us."
"What happened?" Xiao Zhan stood in front of Jiang Xue and asked Mo Chenjun vigilantly.
“Someone from the Cao family was stabbed in the heart by an unknown weapon and died, and several bodies with the same injuries were found in the backyard of the Inner Court. These bodies were confirmed to be the guards who had previously guarded Wang Ruixuan.
The third son of the Cao family accused Miss Si Ruoxin of being the murderer. Because the scars were the same, Wang Xiurong believed that the guards of the inner court were also killed by Miss Si. He also determined that Wang Ruixuan was also killed by her, so he asked the emperor to arrest Miss Si. "
Mo Chenjun briefly explained the situation, "I am following orders. Cao Ling impeached Miss Si for privately manufacturing weapons, and Wang Xiurong also joined in. You know that privately manufacturing weapons is a serious crime anywhere. Now the emperor wants to bring Miss Si into the palace for interrogation. Miss Si, please cooperate."
"This is the Cao family's counterattack." Jiang Xue had already anticipated that Cao Ling would take action, so she appeared quite calm in the face of this situation.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
An Yun's voice came through the air. Jiang Xue looked in the direction of the voice and found that An Yun was being led out by a soldier holding her arm, with her design drawings in his hand.
"She is responsible for making weapons and must attack together." Mo Chenjun explained.
"Ouch, be gentle! How can you be so rude? Don't you know how to be gentle with women? Even if you favor boys over girls here, you can't treat girls like this!" An Yun almost cried in pain. While shouting, she stepped hard on the soldier who was holding her arm.
The soldier gasped in pain and immediately let go of his hand.
"You little girl!" The soldier was annoyed and hurt, and raised his hand to teach her a lesson.
An Yun quickly dodged and hid behind Mo Chenjun.
"Hey, you soldiers are still bullying girls!" She noticed that Mo Chenjun was dressed unusually and should be the leader. The soldier hiding behind him would definitely not dare to act rashly.
"Can you please control your men and make them polite to girls? They can never find wives if they are like this." An Yun put her hands on her hips and looked up to complain to Mo Chenjun. In order to appear more imposing, she even stood on tiptoes.
However, this posture not only did not make her look majestic, but instead made her look a little funny and cute.
Jiang Xue had never seen anyone behave like this in such a situation, and was a little surprised for a moment.
The others were similar, especially Mo Chenjun. Seeing An Yun almost unable to stand on tiptoe, he couldn't help but find her particularly funny.
This girl is so interesting.
Jiang Xue covered her mouth and laughed softly, and even Xiao Zhan and the others smiled.
The originally tense atmosphere was thus eased a lot.
"You, go down, leave this to me."
Mo Chenjun wanted to laugh, but he was concerned about staying dignified in front of the soldiers, so he put away his smile.
After coughing lightly, he signaled the soldier to retreat, then gently pressed An Yun's shoulders and asked her to put down her tiptoed feet: "Just follow me obediently, and I promise that no one will hurt your hand again."
"That's better." An Yun pouted and rubbed the arm that was pinched just now.
"Miss Si, it's getting late. His Majesty is still waiting for us. Let's set off." Mo Chenjun said after looking at the sky.
"Then I'll trouble General Mo to lead the way." Jiang Xue nodded in response. Since the Cao family has launched a counterattack, she is ready to meet the challenge. She wants to see what kind of situation this counterattack will turn into.
"I want to go too." Xiao Zhan put his hand on her shoulder and said to Mo Chenjun, "It should be okay, right?"
"Even if I say there is a problem, will you give up?" Mo Chenjun smiled helplessly. Xiao Zhan always listened to his advice.
"No." Xiao Zhan shrugged, giving Mo Chenjun face.
When Jiang Xue came to Xuchen Hall again, she saw the officials in the hall and several corpses on the ground, and she couldn't help but feel helpless. Whether it was Beiling or Beixi, every time she stepped into Xuchen Hall, it was never a good sign.
"Si Ruoxin, do you know what crime you have committed?" Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded. Jiang Xue looked up and saw Wang Xiurong pointing at her angrily.
"I wonder what crime Empress Xiurong committed?" Jiang Xue bowed calmly, then stood up and asked.
"What crime? Humph, Your Majesty, please look, there are so many corpses right in front of her, but she pretended not to see them. Such an unrepentant person should be cut into pieces." Wang Xiurong turned to the Beixi Emperor, and the fierce look on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The speed of the face changing is really amazing.
Jiang Xue sneered in her heart, but remained respectful on the surface: "Empress Xiurong, conviction and sentencing have always been decided by His Majesty. As a member of the harem, you do not have the power in this regard. Now that His Majesty has not expressed his position, you are eager to convict and even decide on the punishment. Aren't you trying to deprive His Majesty of his authority?"
