Immediately afterwards, Yu He saw the two young men took out from the bags they were carrying...

Finger pinches!

Yu He suddenly remembered that when he was a child watching Jugege with his old mother, Ziwei was put on this kind of torture device when she was targeted by the queen. She put ten fingers in and pulled both sides—sour!

"What do you... want to do..." Yu He hesitated, and he who was still aggressive just now turned into a little quail, and kept shrinking into the corner.

"My officer said that there are plenty of ways for you to sign and draw a deposit." As he said that, the minister of punishment waved his hand to the cell leader next to him, motioning him to open the cell door.

Yu He shrank himself inside as much as possible, but in the end he was outnumbered, and even skipped the necessary procedure of struggling, and directly dragged him out to put on the clamp...

"□□Grandma! You wait! When I go out, I will...wrap you all in bread crumbs...fry until golden on both sides...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L L L L l L l L L L t t t t t h e t h a t t h a t h a n d a n d a n d a l

Suddenly, Yu He's screams were heard in the prison, and the other prisoners only took a few glances before daring to look at it again.

It was like putting your fingers on the door frame and closing the door forcefully back and forth. Waves of severe pain invaded Yu He's brain. The torture instruments even tore the skin on his hands, and blood flowed down his palms instantly.

Gradually, he became a little confused, unable to tell whether it was pain or itching, or both. In the end, he completely lost all feeling in his ten fingers...

After clamping for about 5 minutes, those people could barely let Yu He go. As soon as the torture equipment was withdrawn, he lost all strength and fell to the ground suddenly. His consciousness was already confused. There were only ten swollen carrot-like blood in his eyes. dripping fingers...

Then, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment personally took Yu He's hand, directly pressed his fingerprint on the indictment, then folded the indictment, and kicked Yu He aside, who was about to faint.

"I... □□... all..." Yu He lay on the ground, using his last bit of strength to squeeze out these words from his mouth.

"I advise you to save your energy." The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sneered, "But you can't blame us for this. If you want to blame, you can only blame you for not knowing how to be a human being. You should see clearly whether you should offend or not."

Yu He was lying on the ground, his face pressed against the cold ground. He watched the feet of those people wearing official boots stepping out of this dirty and damp prison one by one, and heard their wanton laughter. Needle-pricked.

Yu He took a deep breath and forced a smile.

Does it hurt?It hurts, and it's very.

Do you regret it?No, and not at all.

It's not that I don't know how to be a human being, it's just that I trust the people in this palace too easily, they are all beasts, and I can't believe a word they say.

"You dog slave, you dare to yell at me, and you don't even look at your own identity." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment laughed and exited the cell, before leaving, he even spat at Yu He with disdain.

Yu He slowly closed his eyes, wanting to enjoy this moment of tranquility for the last time.

But as if the heavens did not fulfill his wish, suddenly, there was a piercing sound of a sword being unsheathed, a sound of flesh falling to the ground, and noisy and frightened screams, all mixed together in an instant.

Then, Yu He seemed to feel something falling in front of him, with a strong smell of blood.

He slowly opened his eyes, trying to find out——

In the end, it was the huge head of Shangshu Xingbu who met him!And the eyes are wide open, the eyeballs are almost popping out of the eye sockets!

Yu He almost didn't get over it all of a sudden, he just took his breath away.

Because this hanged man only has a fucking big head left, and everything below the neck is gone!

He didn't know where the strength came from, and accompanied by bursts of ear-piercing screams, Yu He got up from the ground in a jerk, and crawled back on the ground with hands and feet as if he saw some zombie.

It's too scary!Xue Hula's head just fell in front of him, no one can stand it!

In a daze, a pair of white boots stepped on the filthy ground, walking straight towards him.

Yu He's first reaction was that Concubine Xi Shu sent someone to kill him, but in the end, the killer was also a stunned young man, thinking that the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was in the way, so he killed him, and it was his turn to be the next one.

He was so frightened that he almost suffocated, he quickly covered his head with his hands and buried his head in the haystack like an ostrich, yelling "Heroic man, spare your life" in his mouth.

But the man didn't move for a long time, as if standing still behind him.

"I apologize, I will definitely apologize to Concubine Shu in three steps and one kowtow, I was wrong, I was really wrong." Of course, this is not the truth, it is just a delaying tactic, don't take it seriously.

"What's wrong." The man finally asked coldly.

"It's not my fault..." Huh?This voice seems a bit familiar.

Yu He slowly raised his head from the haystack, carefully looked behind——

The white boots, the white long gown, the white robe, the white girdle, and the little snow-white face all remind me of the name that goes perfectly with white——

Yin Chixue.

I don't know why, but when I was tortured just now, I was so painful that I couldn't bear it, but when I saw this person, my tears suddenly fell uncontrollably.

It's crazy.

"Yin, Yin Chixue..." The last word seemed to turn into an aura.

How should I describe my mood at this time, probably like a lost chick seeing a hen, or in other words, like suddenly grabbing the life-saving straw when I was dying.

Yin Chixue's white robe was splashed with an unsightly bloodstain, he took a look, took off his robe and threw it aside, then walked to Yu He's side, and squatted down on one knee:

"Take it out."

"You, why are you here? Didn't you say you were grounded by the emperor?"

Yin Chixue didn't answer his meaningless question, but grabbed his bloody hand, tore off a circle of cloth strips from the skirt, and gently bandaged him to stop the bleeding.

Yu He suddenly thought of the sentence that Ruoting said to himself:

"Actually, Uncle Huang has been waiting for you for many years."

"My lord, you...have you known me before?" Finally, Yu He shamelessly asked.

Yin Chixue's hand paused, he raised his eyes to look at Yu He, and immediately withdrew his eyes and continued to bandage his wound.

"My lord...it hurts~" The conscience of heaven and earth really hurts. It's definitely not because I'm acting like a baby, but I don't know why, but the tone of my words has changed.

"Leave here first and go to my house." After saying that, Yin Chixue pulled Yu He's arm and raised it up.

"Ah? Here, jailbreak, it's not very good, if I'm caught, not only will I implicate you, my lord." Yu He was a little hesitant.

Yin Chixue glanced at the head of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment on the ground, and said coldly: "I'll kill everyone, so what are you afraid of?"

"Of course you are not afraid. You have Shang Fang's sword and you can cut it at will. I am a sad reminder to the little eunuch. If you are caught and escaped from prison, you will definitely move your head."

Yin Chixue looked back at him, and after a while, suddenly smiled:

"Do you know that Shang Fang's sword can only kill officials below the third rank, while the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment belongs to the third rank, so I really can't cut casually."

As soon as these words came out, Yu He was stunned.

Fuck!So, for her own sake, Yin Chixue chopped off a third-rank official of the imperial court without hesitation? !And in this situation with many witnesses? !

Trembling, Yu He poked his head out to look at the situation outside, and found that the two young men brought by the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and a group of jail guards were lying in different places, seemingly fainted.

"No one will know now." Yin Chixue smiled shamelessly, "No one saw my face when I came in, so even if something happens, I can blame it on you."

Yu He:? ? ?

"My lord, are you serious?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, go first, otherwise you and I won't be able to run away if someone comes later."

As she said that, Yin Chixue suddenly made a commitment, one hand passed through Yu He's leg, the other passed through his armpit, and with a strong lift, she hugged him horizontally in this princess hugging posture.

Yu He:! ! !

No, why did Yin Chixue go crazy all of a sudden, or did she change her gender, or was she beaten stupid just now?

Although, it is still a little embarrassing to be hugged by someone you like suddenly in such an ambiguous posture, even Yu He, who is as thick-skinned as a city wall, is no exception.

"Put me down, it's my hands not my legs that were hurt." Yu He said in a panic as he struggled twice symbolically.

"Don't get me wrong, I just refused to leave because you have been here all this time, for fear that someone will come." Yin Chixue said almost gnashing her teeth.

Because he is not particularly strong, it is still a bit difficult for a man like Yu He who weighs [-] to [-] Jin.

After leaving the cell, Yu He saw the disobedient horse raised by Yin Chixue. This time, Yin Chixue didn't tease him anymore. The son took advantage of the night and ran towards the prince's mansion——

This is Yu He's first visit to Yin Chixue's residence. Just like him, the whole palace is decorated with fancy and exaggerated decorations. One can see that Yin Chixue, an old boy, usually makes a lot of money. The antiques from the previous dynasty are all A row, a group of beautiful maids once bought.

"My lord, you are back." The little maids greeted their master immediately when they saw their master's return.

Yin Chixue helped Yu He to sit down in the lobby, then turned to the group of little maids and said, "Order the kitchen to prepare some food, try to make it as light as possible, and call Imperial Physician Xue over, speed up."

Yu He stared blankly at Yin Chixue's back, and suddenly had the illusion that he was about to enter the delivery room...

Not long after, Imperial Physician Xue rushed over with his medicine box on his back.

This Imperial Physician Xue seemed a little familiar, as if Ruoting was the one who came to make a diagnosis when Ruo Ting fell off his horse and fell unconscious.

If it was Yin Chixue who found him, then he must be a trustworthy person.

"My lord summoned my servant so late, but why do you feel uncomfortable?" Imperial physician Xue stroked his gray beard, looking benevolent.

Yin Chixue shook his head, then pointed to Yu He who had been hiding behind him all the time: "It's not me, it's Xiao Lizi, who was lynched by the punishment department."

Imperial Physician Xue poked his head and glanced curiously, and when he saw Yu He, his expression changed drastically.

He pointed at Yu He with trembling fingers, his gray beard trembled along with his mouth: "He... he... isn't he being locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice right now?"

"To be honest, the head of the criminal department has been beheaded by me." As he said that, Yin Chixue smiled triumphantly.

After hearing this, Imperial Physician Xue was even more startled, his eyes widened, and the intersecting wrinkles on his face trembled slightly:

"My lord, what do you mean, Lord Shang Shu has been killed by you?"

Yin Chixue calmly picked up the teacup on the table, and said casually, "Don't use the word kill, use chop, otherwise I won't show my aura."

Yu He really convinced him, he was still in the mood to joke around at this time.

A third-rank official, even the emperor, was not allowed to move casually, he would cut it off as soon as he said, if the old thief of the emperor knew about it, he would be so crazy.

Imperial Physician Xue rushed to Yin Chixue's side and asked in a low voice:

"Then the body of Shangshu Xingbu has been dealt with?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to dispose of the corpse with my back foot just as I'm on the front foot."

Only then did Imperial Physician Xue secretly heave a sigh of relief, and then clasped his fists together: "My lord, you must be careful not to say anything about this matter."

"Don't worry, I have my own measure. By the way, you can help Xiao Lizi treat the wound quickly. I'm worried that if he drags on, his hands will be useless."

Imperial Physician Xue nodded, opened the medicine box to find the tools, then walked to Yu He's side, gently raised his hand and looked at it, frowning tightly:

"The injury is serious, with multiple phalanx fractures and flesh injuries. In this case, I will help him stop the bleeding and fix the bones first."

Yin Chixue watched silently, and after a while, she said in a bad tone:

"This way, you won't cry out in pain?"

Yu He looked at his miserable hands, and chuckled: "To be honest, I'm already unconscious, so I can't feel the pain anymore."

"Stupid." After a while, Yin Chixue only said this one word.

After about half an hour of treatment, the old doctor in her 60s helped Yu He connect the broken fingers, disinfected them with iodine, and bandaged the wound before leaving.

The maid at the side asked cautiously: "My lord, the food is cold, should I take it to reheat or serve it directly."

"Hot it up, don't be too hot, serve it before you eat it." Yin Chixue said.

The maid nodded and hurried out of the lobby with small steps.

After a whole day of tossing around, Yu He was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open, but Yin Chixue didn't let him go to sleep, so he could only wait like this, his head bit by bit according to sleepiness, like a chicken pecking at rice.

After a while, the maid came back and said that the food was ready.

Immediately behind, a row of maids carrying meals entered.

Yu He was fully awake now, all the gluttons were drawn out by the aroma of the food.

He probably counted them, but in just one hour, the kitchen prepared eight dishes, two soups, plus one dessert and one fruit, which is a total of twelve dishes. This shit is almost in time for the state banquet. The prince Yin Chixue is really nourishing ah.

And after a closer look, these meals are all his favorites, such as West Lake Vinegar Fish, Mapo Tofu, especially the dessert, fried glutinous rice balls.

This is the dessert that my mother would make for herself every fifteenth day of the first lunar month when she was still alive.

Seeing this, Yu He immediately picked up the chopsticks with both hands and stretched them towards the mapo tofu.

Unexpectedly, both hands were wrapped like zongzi. After holding it for a long time, my hands were cramped and I didn't pick up a piece of tofu.

Damn it, who invented chopsticks? Why can't they just lick the plate?

Just when Yu He was sulking at his useless hands, a soup spoon was stretched out, and a piece of soft and tender tofu was placed on the spoon.

He looked up in surprise, and saw Yin Chixue sitting on one side with his chin in one hand and a spoon in the other, with a slight disdain in his eyes.

Yu He also looked back at him, and the two just stared at each other.

"Eat, my hands are sore." It seemed that after a century, Yin Chixue finally became impatient, and when she opened her mouth, her tone revealed extreme impatience.

Yu He looked at him, then at the spoon in his hand, and immediately became angry.

"I will not eat."

"why."

"No rice."

Yin Chixue glared at him, scooped up another spoonful of rice, topped it with tofu, and brought it to his mouth:

"It's alright now."

"Don't eat."

"What, you want me to chew it up and feed it to you mouth to mouth?"

As she said that, Yin Chixue made a gesture to put the rice into her mouth.

"No, no need...thank you..." Yu He froze immediately.

Yin Chixue sneered, and took another spoonful of soup to Yu He's mouth.

Yu He stretched his head and bit the spoon, raised his eyes and stared at Yin Chixue cautiously.

This person is really sleazy and wicked. Sure enough, like this kind of old goblin who has lived for hundreds of years, he enjoys playing with others when he has nothing to do. Bah!

After feeding the soup, Yin Chixue used a spoon to scrape the soup dripping from Yu He's mouth like the kind of mother who takes care of the baby and eats complementary food. Although it was a very caring and gentle gesture, the contempt in his eyes never faded go down.

After eating and drinking enough, Yu He is really sleepy at the moment, when the maid came to clean up the leftovers, he sat and dozed off.

Unexpectedly, that guy Yin Chixue shook him up inhumanely again: "Go to take a shower and change clothes after eating, you smell bad."

As soon as Yu He heard it, he immediately smelled his clothes in embarrassment: "It's a lie, how could it be."

Yin Chixue didn't bother to waste words with him, so she hugged him horizontally again without saying a word, and carried him to the bathing pool.

Yu He nestled in his arms, smelling the fragrance of his body, he felt distracted for a while, and couldn't help rubbing him in his arms vigorously.

Just rubbing against each other, he suddenly realized...

no!If he took a bath, wouldn't he be exposed as a fake eunuch?

Thinking about it, he immediately struggled vigorously excitedly, like a little pig caught by Huanong Brothers, twisting his waist vigorously, trying to escape Yin Chixue's clutches.

"Don't move around." Yin Chixue was annoyed and scolded angrily.

"I don't wash it! I don't wash it. I like the rotten smell on my body. The rotten smell is my protective smell! I can't wash it off, it will kill you!" Yu He made gestures with his hands wrapped into rice dumplings Wipe away the tears that don't exist.

"Don't make trouble." Yin Chixue clamped him tightly with her arms to prevent him from moving.

"If you do this, I can sue you for obscenity, and the lawyer will send you a warning letter!"

Yin Chixue finally sighed, he stopped, looked down at Yu He who was crying "pear blossoms with rain" in his arms, and said softly:

"Do you know that Ruoting has spent the night guarding those two corpses in the mortuary to prove your innocence for you. I asked Xi Shi to inform him that I have brought you to the prince's mansion. He may come over in a while. That kid is a bit stubborn, you don't want him to see you in such a mess and get angry and do something stupid."

Yu He calmed down instantly, and said awkwardly, "I don't want to..."

"Then be obedient and take good care of your injuries."

Yu He was speechless, but if Yin Chixue found out that he was a fake eunuch, how would he explain it to him? He was not as easy to deceive as Ruoting, and if he sued the emperor directly in a fit of anger, he would have to bear the burden. The crime of bullying the emperor will cost you your head.

Just as he was thinking, Yin Chixue had already carried him to the bathtub.

As soon as the door was opened, hot air mingled with fragrance rushed towards his face instantly, and the warm and cozy atmosphere made Yu He's tense nerves relax instantly.

In the huge gold-plated bathing pool, the heat in the pool is misty, and it is surrounded by green plants for ventilation. There are two cute and lovable little maids waiting respectfully to help him bathe and change clothes.

Sure enough, rich people will enjoy it.

Yin Chixue put him down, helped him to sit on a chair beside him, pulled the mica screen over, and then whispered to the two little maids to go to their own affairs first.

Yu He's head got bigger when he heard it.

"No, why send the girl away."

"It's ugly time at night now, the girls have been busy all day, do you still have the nerve to let them stay up so late to serve you?"

As Yin Chixue said, she began to undress herself.

Yu He:? ? ?

"No, what clothes are you taking off when I take a bath?" Yu He frightened a carp to stand up from the chair, looking at Yin Chixue warily.

"Wipe your back for you." Yin Chixue replied casually, her undressing hand didn't stop.

"Are you perverted? I can wash it myself, can I trouble you to go out?" Yu He laughed so hard that his veins bulged, and he had already dragged Yin Chixue out in his heart and chopped him up.

"This is my house, why should I go out." This guy is so plausible, his thick skin is outrageous.

Yin Chixue took off her obscene clothes, and then eagerly stretched out her Lushan claws to Yu He, a weak and helpless pity——

"I don't—! Me! Damn! Ah! It hurts~"

Amidst Yu He's howls like killing a pig, Yin Chixue directly tore off his tattered clothes and threw them away——

"Yo, I didn't expect there to be unexpected gains."

Yu He lay on the ground covering his face and weeping bitterly, like a defiled girl with yellow flowers.

"Where did you get this thing?" Yin Chixue smiled shamelessly as she said that.

"Given it by mom and dad." Upon hearing this, Yu He hurriedly stretched out his hands to cover the bottom.

"Aren't you a eunuch?"

"I've never seen an eunuch with a root, what are you making a fuss about?"

"I've never seen this before." As she said that, Yin Chixue knelt down and looked at Yu He's slender body, and asked with a smile, "Tell me, if the emperor finds out about this, how will he deal with you? .”

"Aren't we brothers, can we not tell the emperor..." Yu He immediately begged for mercy without any bones.

"Who is your brother." Yin Chixue smiled disdainfully.

"Then you have to look at the Buddha's face if you don't look at the monk's face. Last time I took that knife for you, it's out of emotion and reason. You should help me keep this secret." Yu He started playing the emotional card again.

Speaking of this, Yu He became angry, saying that he had waited for him for many years, and after waiting for many years, he dragged him out to carry the knife for him?

Yin Chixue's face changed, he really didn't know how to explain this matter.

In fact, when the bald man took out the knife, Yin Chixue thought that he was going to attack Yu He, so in a hurry, he dragged him from one side to her side. Who knows, the old bald donkey's target was herself from the beginning... …

"Well, I can keep this secret for you, as long as you please me."

Yu He was stunned: "Why, how can I ask for..."

Yin Chixue stood up: "Aren't you very smart, experience it yourself."

Yu He remembered that when he was in high school, one of his roommates had a girlfriend. At that time, because she came to the big aunt and the roommate said "drink more hot water", he was scolded and scolded. ignore him.

At that time, in order to please her, the roommate said that he would fold [-] thousand origami cranes to apologize to her. He found several brothers in the dormitory, and folded them for meals and toilets in class. After folding for about half a month, his hands were worn out. The cocoon was broken, which made her happy.

Seeing him lost in thought, Yin Chixue at the side shook his head, dragged him by his legs all the way to the edge of the bath, and then threw him down like trash.

Yin Chixue rolled up his sleeves, took the bath towel, drank the bath water and sat down behind Yu He, and then gently wiped his back.

But at this moment, Yu He's mind was not here at all, he just silently calculated in his heart how long it would take to fold [-] paper cranes, no, no, no, too many, if less, let's fold ten.

"You stay in my house for the next few days to recover from your injuries, and I will send you back to the palace after this case is over."

Yu He suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "No, I have to rush back to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in a while, otherwise, if I escape from the prison, the rationale will become unreasonable, not to mention... there is a minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who died, it is impossible not to be punished." discovered by people."

With that said, he turned his head and glanced at Yin Chixue who was still working hard behind him:

"My lord, this time you are really out of your mind. You also know that the Shangfang sword can't kill officials above the third rank. What's more, he just used lynching, and the crime is not deadly. You just hacked him to death. Really! If you want to pursue it, you will also have to be unlucky."

"I need other people's consent to do things?" Yin Chixue was still unconvinced.

"Yes, yes, you are a high-ranking official. No one but the emperor dares to say that you are not, but have you ever thought that water can carry a boat and capsize it. If you do too many things that do not follow the rules, you will inevitably be criticized .”

Yin Chixue stood up abruptly, and sneered: "Fang Shanru, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, conspired with foreign countries and Prime Minister Zuo in an attempt to usurp power, embezzled money and abused lynching, you know that treason is a serious crime for punishing the nine clans, I only cut him off and it was considered cheap for him gone."

"What? Usurping power?" Yu He turned pale with shock.

Yin Chixue calmed down, and then nodded: "Actually, the emperor already knew that the gang headed by Prime Minister Zuo, including Shen Peipei's father, General Shen Pingliang, and even the emperor's teacher Han Taifu all participated in it, but It’s just that no conclusive evidence has been obtained, do you think the emperor doesn’t want to deal with them?”

"Then... are there any good people in the palace?" Yu He had always thought that Taifu Han was a loyal minister, that he spoke nicely and looked honest and honest, and that he was the emperor's teacher.

"Yes, Grand Master Lian, who was clamoring to send the prince out of the palace for training, was the most loyal person, but he was a bit mean and not very likable."

Oh my god, Yu He always thought that Grand Master Lian was the biggest villain, so it turned out that he had been blaming the good guy all along.

"The reason why he proposed to send the prince out of the palace at that time was entirely to protect the prince. His secret agents received rumors that there would be a rebellious party taking advantage of the relaxation of security during the Chinese New Year to kill the prince, so he simply proposed to send the prince out of the palace. Go to the palace, and come back after the security is heavily guarded in the next year."

When Yu He heard it, he felt the hairs all over his body standing on end, and couldn't help shivering.

How did this little fool grow up to be so big, it's not easy to be missed every day.

"Then Concubine Xi Shu..."

"I don't know anything about the emperor's harem, and that's beyond my reach."

Yu He nodded, lying on the side of the bathtub, enjoying the luxurious real royal massage and rubbing his back, and slowly closed his eyes.

"My lord, I always thought that you are the kind of person who just throws your hands away and doesn't ask anything. I thought you were the kind of mediocre person who doesn't know anything except eating, drinking and having fun."

When Yin Chixue heard this, she dissatisfiedly increased her strength in her hands: "Just because I don't say anything, it doesn't mean I don't know."

Yu He smiled, and finally overwhelmed the drowsiness during this extremely rhythmic rubbing, and closed his eyes heavily——

Listening to the slight breathing sound, Yin Chixue gradually stopped the movements of his hands.

--------

The moon was dark and the wind was high, a sneaky figure hovered at the gate of Prince Ying's Mansion.

After a long time, the door opened, and a man in white came out of the mansion.

At that moment, that sneaky figure rushed over immediately——

"Uncle Emperor! I miss you!" Ruo Ting may not realize that he has become an adult after this year, but when he saw Yin Chixue, he still acted like a child and begged for a hug.

"Did you come by yourself?" Yin Chixue hurriedly pulled him into the mansion and asked in a low voice.

Ruoting shook his head: "Brother Xi Shi sent me here, he asked me to tell you that the matter has been settled, and now he has rushed to Huiyuan to see Big Brother Shu'er."

Yin Chixue nodded.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

"I'll tell you about this later." Yin Chixue continued to change the topic, "Have you collected all the evidence from those two corpses?"

Ruoting nodded, "Sure enough, what Xiao Lizi thought was the same, the two maids by the lake who witnessed were also killed, and their bodies were buried on the back hill outside the palace, and were discovered by the old man guarding the forest."

"What's the situation with your father now?"

"As soon as I told my father about the autopsy, my father praised me that it seems that this trip out of the palace was not a waste of time, and I really learned something."

Yin Chixue had no choice but to say, "I didn't mean that, what is the Emperor doing to Xiao Lizi now, has he let go of his mouth?"

"He said that the people from Dali Temple and the coroner will go to trial the case early in the morning. If Xiao Lizi is really wronged, he will not tolerate it easily. The real murderer must be brought to justice."

Then Ruoting asked worriedly: "Then in order to deceive others, let's send Xiao Lizi back to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Yin Chixue glanced at Yu He's room, and shook his head: "He can't afford it anymore, let him recuperate here, if the emperor asks questions later, at worst, I will bear it all by myself."

----------

Zhaoxuan Palace——

Ever since Lin Zhaoyi became pregnant with the Dragon Seed and was conferred the title of Zhaoyi, it can be said that the wind and water have flourished, and the bedroom has also been moved from the side courtyard to the side hall not far from the emperor's bedroom.

She is now more than nine months pregnant and is about to give birth. The imperial physicians all said that there is a high probability that there is a boy in her belly. Now, she is even more powerful, and the other concubines have to please her when they see her.

However, Lin Zhaoyi also has self-knowledge, knowing that she will never dare to show her shortcomings until the last moment, and has been tensing the string in her mind.

Until Concubine Xi Shu approached the door——

Lin Zhaoyi until Concubine Xi Shu's son was capable and loved by the emperor all the time, mothers are more expensive than their sons, seeing Concubine Xi Shu, even though she was nine months pregnant, Lin Zhaoyi had to hurry up to pay her respects .

"My sister is inconvenient now, so there's no need to be polite." Concubine Xi Shu seemed to have a benevolent eyebrow, and at first glance she was very fond of her.

Behind her were two maids, carrying several brocade boxes in their hands.

"I heard that my sister is about to give birth, and my elder sister has never come to see her. I feel very sorry. It just so happens that my natal younger sister is also about to give birth, so I asked her for some anti-fetal medicine."

With that said, Concubine Xi Shu brought over those large boxes of supplements and opened them one by one.

Lin Zhaoyi went over to take a look, and found that they were indeed excellent supplements, some of which were even scarce medicinal materials, the kind that money could not buy.

"Thank you sister for your concern." Lin Zhaoyi said politely.

"Sister De Concubine is also there. She will give birth at about the same time as you. You must work harder to add more children to our royal family." Concubine Xi Shu smiled very gently.

Lin Zhaoyi was thinking, no wonder she was able to raise such an outstanding son as Ruo'an, all because of her example, so she couldn't help feeling a little bit more fond of her.

"I happen to still have the cloth that the emperor rewarded me before, and I will ask someone to pull some small clothes and send them to your son."

After saying that, Concubine Xi Shu moved closer to Lin Zhaoyi and said in a low voice, "It's definitely not worse than the material worn by the crown prince at that time."

This sentence made Lin Zhaoyi's affection for Concubine Xi Shu bursting. Once she became pregnant, the other concubines wished to have a daughter or a miscarriage. Bring my son here", how can people not like her.

"My sister's great kindness and virtue, my sister will definitely repay her in the future." Once moved, he began to drag words.

"There's no need to repay your kindness, we're all one family, so it's a matter of birth." Concubine Xi Shu covered her mouth and smiled.

"But—" she changed the subject.

"Sister, I want to know, have you offended anyone before?"

When Lin Zhaoyi heard these words, her heart suddenly turned cold.

She was already sensitive when she was pregnant, and now she couldn't listen to such words at all.

"When I came here, I heard some rumors, saying that because your concubine De concubine's younger sister gave birth at the same time as you, I was afraid that she would also give birth to a son and steal your limelight, so..." Concubine Xi Shu deliberately betrayed you. Get up.

"Just what!" Lin Zhaoyi stood up abruptly, and she almost fell to the ground because she couldn't stand still for a while.

Seeing this, Concubine Xi Shu hurriedly went over to support her, and asked anxiously, "Sister is all right?"

Lin Zhaoyi quickly shook her head, her face pale: "Sister, tell me, what?"

Concubine Xi Shu sighed, slowly helped Lin Zhaoyi to sit on the couch, touched her round belly, frowned, and seemed more worried than Lin Zhaoyi.

"Just say that you bribed the maid in Defei's palace that day, trying to blame Defei for Xiao Jiaozi's death."

"No concubine!" Lin Zhaoyi stood up like a carp again, "Although the concubine knows about the scheming of the harem, she has always been honest and content, and never dared to dream of competing with her sisters for glory, how dare she do such a thing?" How about putting the blame on Concubine De's sister for the serious murder?"

Concubine Xi Shu gently patted Lin Zhaoyi's back and comforted her:

"Everyone knows my sister's character, so of course they all believe in you. It's just that the rumor spreads to the emperor's ears, so it doesn't sound good."

"Then sister, what should the concubine do? Do you want the concubine to go to Empress Concubine De to explain this matter right now?"

"No, if you go there now, others will think that you have a ghost in your heart. Tomorrow the emperor will personally supervise the trial, saying that if the little eunuch is really wronged, he will also thoroughly investigate the real culprit."

"Then, what should the concubine do?" Lin Zhaoyi became anxious and began to stutter.

Concubine Xi Shu thought for a moment, then whispered: "I thought of a trick for my younger sister. In this way, let's go to listen in on the trial tomorrow, and you can do what I say."

Lin Zhaoyi nodded hurriedly, stretched out her face to listen carefully——

Early the next morning, a line of ministers stood neatly outside Dali Temple, and even Yin Chixue, a well-known idler, woke up early and came to wait outside the gate.

There were four corpses on the ground, covered with white cloths, and a knuckle knelt next to them.

At about seven o'clock, the emperor finally arrived late, accompanied by the empress and the eldest princess.

"Bring the prisoner, Xiao Lizi, up here." The emperor gave an order.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Xiao Lizi fell into a coma last night due to lynching. I'm afraid I won't be able to come here for a while, but I have a statement from the prisoner." Dali Temple Zhengqing reported truthfully.

Ruo Ting, who had been sitting on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhengqing of Dali Temple say this.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to let the other little eunuchs pretend to be little chestnuts to go in and wait just in case
