The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

There was once again a steward from the Governor's Mansion in the woodshed in the backyard of Luoyang Inn.

However, the butler was thrown into the woodshed after being knocked unconscious by Mu Qing.

Mr. Liu and Li Qiuqiu were both stunned by the unexpected arrival of a new partner.

Before this, neither of them had ever thought that they would actually see the butler appear in front of them in such an embarrassed state.

However, Mr. Liu and Li Qiuqiu are not stupid people. The housekeeper's appearance here means that something has happened to the master...

In the study room.

Several people gathered in a room.

"Why don't you just interrogate the butler?"

As soon as he sat down, Meng Huaijun couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.

Xie Xi: "Don't be in a hurry about this. We have to let those three people have a good reminisce."

Hearing this, Meng Huaijun smiled and said, "...Your Excellency is right. I was just confused for a moment."

Lu Xiaoxiao sat next to Xie Xi, and gently scratched Xie Xi's palm with her fingers hanging by her side. The force was not strong, but it made Xie Xi feel a little itchy in his heart.

Xie Xi tilted his eyes, his jade-like eyes containing a faint smile, staring straight at Lu Xiaoxiao.

When he looked at Lu Xiaoshi, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes that he himself was not even aware of.

It was very shallow, but enough to make his heart tremble.

Xie Xi's tone softened a lot: "Madam, do you have any questions?"

"a little bit."

Seeing that they would be able to return to Shengjing soon, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile, staring at Xie Xi with sparkling eyes, and asked impatiently: "Husband, how long will we stay in Jiangning?"

Xie Xi didn't expect Xiao Xiao to be so anxious to return to Beijing. He was slightly stunned, and after a moment's silence, he said, "It should take another five or six days."

Mainly because it concerns the royal family of Yan State, Xie Xi cannot deal with it too hastily.

Three days later, he will also interrogate the officials who were temporarily detained.

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, "Five or six days is not a long time, my husband, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Or, what news does my husband want to know?"

She blinked at him, and her lively almond eyes seemed to be able to speak, urging Xie Xi: Come and ask me!

Xie Xi and Meng Huaijun couldn't help laughing.

Xie Xi put his fist to his lips, suppressed the smile that was rising up, and said slowly: "I wonder if Madam would like to meet Shi Weian?"

He always remembered that he had heard Lu Xiaoxiao mention something in her heart before, saying that if she could meet that person, she would be able to know more about that person.

Xie Xi wanted to give it a try.

Shi Wei'an had been an official for many years, so he must have known everything about the punishments in the State of Li.

Moreover, given Shi Weian's personality, Xie Xi was not 100% sure that he could get Shi Weian to tell him all his plans.

In this case, Xie Xi can only rely on Lu Xiaoxiao's abilities.

"Huh? So it's just this little thing!"

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned, and she responded without hesitation: "Okay, then I will go with my husband."

[It just so happens that I can go meet Shi Weian this time. Maybe I can learn more from him! ]

Meng Huaijun's eyebrows moved, and he smiled and said, "Sir, I wonder if I can go with you?"

Xie Xi nodded: "Of course you can."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "So shall we go to the prison in the government office now?"

【Speaking of which, I wonder what the prison where the criminals are held looks like? 】

Lu Xiaoxiao was secretly looking forward to it in her heart.

"Ah."

Xie Xi responded softly, looking at Lu Xiaoxiao helplessly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

He suddenly thought, shouldn't he let Lu Xiaoxiao go into a dirty place like a prison that was filled with the smell of blood?

But he had already agreed, so he couldn't go back on his word.

Xie Xi and his group left the inn and headed towards the government prison.

The streets in the city were particularly quiet today. Apart from them, no other people were seen coming out.

Noticing this situation, Xie Xi frowned slightly.

Lu Xiaoxiao also noticed it.

She pursed her lips and held Xie Xi's hand without saying a word.

Soon, the group arrived outside the gate of the government prison.

Guarding outside the prison were four city guards.

Only after Xie Xi showed his identity token did the city guards agree to open the iron door of the prison.

Another extremely tall guard led the way, "The prison is always damp and dark, Your Highness, please be careful with your steps."

Xie Xi hummed.

Shi Weian was locked up in the innermost part.

The further they walked inside, the clearer they could hear the prisoners on both sides wailing in pain. The strong smell of blood made them feel uncomfortable...

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I saw the city guards in front of me stopped and said, "Your Highness, we're here. Lord Shi is imprisoned in this prison."

After saying that, the city guard was about to go forward and open the middle door of the cell.

Xie Xi glanced at it and said calmly, "No need to open it."

The guards paused, "Yes, Your Highness."

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said not to open the cell, the city guards still stood guard, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's orders.

Xie Xi held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and stood with her in front of the cell.

In the dim cell, only a small window on the wall could let in a little light.

In the light, one could vaguely see the simple interior of the cell.

There were no tables or chairs, no beds, only a straw mat spread on the cold ground, surrounded by dry straw.

Xie Xi raised his eyes and looked at the figure lying on the straw mat. It was Shi Weian.

Unexpectedly, Shi Weian knew how to adapt to the local customs in prison. It was somewhat unlike him to be so quiet.

"Master Shi."

After staring at Shi Weian's back for a while, Xie Xi suddenly spoke.

However, the figure did not respond.

Xie Xi didn't care and continued, "Now that Lord Shi is in prison, doesn't he want to defend himself? Or has Lord Shi already accepted his fate?"

Before he finished speaking, the figure lying on the straw mat suddenly moved, and then he slowly sat up.

Shi Weian turned around and stared at Xie Xi with a gloomy look.

After only being in prison for half a day, Shi Weian was already in a state of distress.

He sat on the straw mat with disheveled hair and sneered, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come to the prison. What's the matter? Do you want me to let go so that you can put those ridiculous charges on me?"

"absurd?"

Shi Weian is really thick-skinned.

Xie Xi suddenly laughed, "Why don't you tell me first, Lord Shi, what ridiculous charges will there be?"

Shi Wei'an was not convinced: "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext."

Just as Xie Xi had guessed before, Shi Weian would not give in, let alone admit to any guilt.

however--

Lu Xiaoxiao has successfully unlocked the plot related to Shi Weian!
