After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Oh, where is the lie?" Xiao Rongxuan stared at Chu Huanyan.

"At the previous Qushui Shang Banquet, the third prince tried so hard to test the princess. He just wanted to know if there was any relationship between the minister and His Highness the Crown Prince. Or whether he could grasp the weakness of the Crown Prince through the minister. and handle.”

Chu Huanyan raised the corners of her mouth and looked directly at Xiao Rongxuan.

"Now that the third prince has concluded that my daughter and His Highness have a close relationship, I'm afraid he is very happy, so why should he say it regretfully?"

In the final analysis, there was no enmity or enmity between him and Xiao Rongxuan, so there was no need for the dignified Third Prince to target her, a minister.

Since you want to attack Xiao Jinzhi yourself, why bother talking high-sounding nonsense.

"Miss Chu is more direct than this prince thought. I thought you would deny your relationship with Xiao Jinzhi." Xiao Rongxuan chuckled, but it sounded like the grass was rustling in the dark night, and it seemed that the next moment, someone would jump up. Something comes out.

Chu Huanyan curled her lips but said nothing.

In this situation, no matter how hard he tried to distance himself from Xiao Jinzhi, Xiao Rongxuan would not believe it, so why bother wasting his words.

Xiao Rongxuan leaned back, leaning on the back of his chair, looking at Chu Huanyan with even more contempt.

"If Miss Chu is willing to honestly explain your relationship with Xiao Jinzhi and what happened between you during this period, or... think carefully about what weaknesses Xiao Jinzhi has exposed in front of you, maybe this prince will still I can show mercy and let you live more comfortably in this heavenly prison."

"Ha!" Chu Huanyan couldn't help laughing, "The third prince overestimates my daughter. How can my daughter know about things that you can't find out? What's more, regardless of whether the third prince believes it or not, I The relationship between you and His Highness is far from as close as you think."

It seems that Xiao Jinzhi does really well on weekdays. It is really ridiculous that Xiao Rongxuan wants to find out Xiao Jinzhi's weaknesses from him.

Because of Chu Huanyan's smile, Xiao Rongxuan's face turned cold, "In that case, I will not talk nonsense with Miss Chu. Let's get back to the topic. You should confess as soon as possible about poisoning Concubine Xue. Otherwise, you will be punished in this heavenly prison." It’s not like you, a woman, can bear it.”

No matter what the relationship between Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi is, what is certain is that if Chu Huanyan suffers, Xiao Jinzhi will never feel easy.

If it can make Xiao Jinzhi feel uncomfortable, he thinks it will be great.

"Your Highness, would it be inappropriate to use torture rashly?" Liu Qianran stood behind Xiao Rongxuan and frowned slightly, "After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, and..."

"Father cares about Concubine Xue very much. In order to find out the truth, even some punishment will not hurt." Xiao Rongxuan interrupted Liu Qianran.

"If word of the torture gets out, I'm afraid it will damage His Highness's reputation, and if it is later found out that Miss Chu is not the real culprit, it will cause even more discussion."

Xiao Rongxuan turned his head and glanced at Liu Qianran, "I have been cautious in my words and deeds over the years, for fear of making mistakes and causing criticism. But what happened? Xiao Jinzhi has a notorious reputation, so he still sits well in the position of the prince. of."

Now, his patience has been almost exhausted, and he doesn't care much about this matter.

And he wanted to see how Xiao Jinzhi would react if Chu Huanyan really confessed.

After waving his hand, a jailer immediately stepped forward with a long whip and walked to Chu Huanyan's side.

Liu Qianran was anxious in his heart, but Xiao Rongxuan obviously couldn't listen to the advice.

"Miss Chu, let's see how long you can persist." Xiao Rongxuan sneered.

When the words fell, the jailer had already raised the whip in his hand, but before he could whip it at Chu Huanyan, he was hit on the wrist.

The jailer immediately covered his wrist and cried out in pain, and dropped the whip in his hand.

"Who?" Xiao Rongxuan turned around with a cold face.

Xiao Jinzhi took Qin Li and appeared outside the execution room.

"Brother, you are so brave. Even if you are the prince, this is a prison, and my father has handed over this matter to my younger brother. Are you trying to disobey the emperor's order by interfering like this?"

"Third brother, don't scare me, I'm not that brave." Xiao Jin pretended to be nervous, but the smile on his face was dazzling.

Xiao Rongxuan gritted his teeth secretly and sneered, "Then what is the emperor doing now?"

"Of course I am following the emperor's order." Xiao Jinzhi said leisurely and looked behind him.

After a while, Eunuch Zheng, the chamberlain, walked over quickly. He was still panting when he stopped, "Your Highness, you are walking too fast. I really can't keep up."

"It doesn't matter. My father-in-law is here just in time to deliver the message."

"Yes." Eunuch Zheng responded. After calming down his breathing, he said, "The emperor has said that there are many doubts about Chu Huanyan's suspected murder of Concubine Xue. Chu Huanyan is specially given three days to investigate the matter and prove his innocence immediately. No one can stop you from leaving the prison."

Xiao Rongxuan's expression changed. His father actually ordered Chu Huanyan to be released so quickly, and also asked her to investigate the matter?

"Eunuch Zheng, are you sure this is your father's will?"

"Third Prince, it's absolutely true, this is what the Emperor means." Eunuch Zheng said hurriedly.

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi in surprise. Not only did she let herself leave the prison, but she also asked her to prove her innocence. How did Xiao Jinzhi do it?

"Father has clearly said that this matter will be handed over to this prince for investigation. I will go find my father now." Xiao Rongxuan looked gloomy.

"Third brother, there is no need to waste your efforts. If you have this time, you might as well stay and chat with me." Xiao Jinzhi said lazily, "After all, being in prison is quite boring today."

Xiao Rongxuan was stunned and didn't understand what Xiao Jinzhi meant.

Chu Huanyan and Liu Qianran didn't understand either, and both looked at Xiao Jinzhi in confusion.

Meeting Chu Huanyan's gaze, Xiao Jinzhi smiled and said, "I'll be here alone for a few days, and I'll let you go out to investigate the case."

"What?" Chu Huanyan was stunned.

Not only her, but Xiao Rongxuan and Liu Qianran were also stunned.

Especially Xiao Rongxuan, he looked at Xiao Jinzhi suspiciously, "What tricks are you trying to play?"

As he said that, he looked at Eunuch Zheng again, wanting to hear from him whether the news was true or false.

Eunuch Zheng nodded, "What His Highness the Crown Prince said is true."

He has been in the palace since he was ten years old. In so many years, this is the first time he has seen a prince who asked to be imprisoned for someone else.

In the Imperial Study Room, His Royal Highness persuaded the Emperor to let Miss Chu go, but of course he was rejected. Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince's appearance at that time, he felt that His Highness had anticipated the outcome in advance.

However, he never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would propose that he go to the prison instead of Miss Chu. At the same time, Miss Chu was given the opportunity to investigate the case herself.

Although he heard what Eunuch Zheng said personally, Xiao Rongxuan still didn't believe it in his heart. He stared at Xiao Jinzhi and observed the other person's expression.

How could a prince go to the heavenly prison to sit in jail for someone else, not to mention that Xiao Jinzhi was still a prince.

No matter how bad Xiao Jinzhi's reputation was in the past, if word spread that the prince of a country was in this prison, it would only make people laugh. I am afraid that no one in the court would support Xiao Jin anymore. Of.

Xiao Jinzhi would never be so stupid for a woman, unless... he had other plans!
