I wish for a long time

"Mo Ruo, the person you mentioned is here?"

Ye Jiu looked at the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment hanging high in front of him, and looked at Xiao Lanfeng suspiciously.

This buddy didn't say a word just now, but the two turned around and came to the criminal department? ?

Her heart was beating a little. Saving a person like this was no joke.

Xiao Lanfeng glanced at her, didn't say anything, just dismounted and knocked on the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Xiao Shoubei, you are here."

The guard at the gate seemed not surprised, and greeted him familiarly, and Xiao Lanfeng also stuffed a silver coin into his hand familiarly.

Seeing this, Ye Jiu got off his horse and followed behind him.

This is not the first time she has come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the last time it was for the case of the Qi family.

Ye Jiu looked around, and saw that one of the doors was pushed open suddenly, and a middle-aged man in a brown official robe came out from the inside, his face looked familiar.

The yamen servant leading the way suddenly became respectful and even took two steps back.

Seeing this, Xiao Lanfeng took half a step forward, bowed and saluted, "I have seen Master Zhang."

This person is none other than Zhang Heyi, Minister of Criminal Justice—the legendary upright, unselfish black face.

Ye Jiu's scalp felt a little numb, although the last time in front of the Chaoyuan Hall, Master Zhang was very polite to him, but it didn't mean he would let them go to see the prisoner.

Zhang Heyi supported the door with both hands, his gaze stayed on the two of them for a moment, then he took back the foot that had already stepped out of the door, and closed the door smoothly.

Ye Jiu:? ? ?

"Mo Ru, you and Master Zhang..."

Ye Jiu's jaw almost dropped, she asked tentatively, only to see Xiao Lanfeng shook his head lightly, and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Lanfeng didn't want to say more, so Ye Jiu could only hide his doubts in his stomach, and followed him to the backyard.

When the leading yamen opened the door of the criminal prison, Ye Jiu saw a very familiar smiling face:

"Xiao Shoubei is here, and this... Marquis Lin? You are here too!"

This person is the caring prison head who took her on a day trip to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last time.

Ye Jiu sneered, "Come here, turn around, turn around."

"Come on, please come inside."

Hearing the cheerful invitation, Ye Jiu suddenly heard a sentence in his mind: "Please invite a male guest~"

She shuddered all over, and hurriedly stepped into the dark stairs.

After Xiao Lanfeng turned a few turns along the dark corridor, his pace gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in front of a cell, and turned to look at Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu walked over lightly, and first glanced over his head, only to see a man in a white prison uniform lying on his side on the straw mat, as if taking a nap, judging from his figure, he should be a man.

"Zi Qi."

Xiao Lanfeng walked to the cell and called out softly, the man shrugged his shoulders twice and turned around leisurely.

Ye Jiu only felt that this person was white and clean, wearing a prison uniform on his body, which made him look even more neat, and he didn't fit in with this dark and damp prison cell.

Hearing the sound, the man rubbed his eyes, sat up, raised his head halfway and glanced at it, and said, "Mo Ru, you're here."

Ye Jiu's gaze fell on half of his half-discovered face, and he felt that this person seemed somewhat familiar.

She unconsciously took two steps forward, pinching her cuff with her fingers, staring at his face.

Xiao Lanfeng saw Ye Jiu's subtle expressions in his eyes. He frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and called out: "Ziqi, this is the Marquis of Zhenyuan that I mentioned to you, Brother Lin."

The man was obviously stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect anyone to see him, so he stood up quickly, and his sleepy eyes came back to life.

Until this moment, the string in Ye Jiu's heart suddenly broke.

She finally understood why she felt that this person was so familiar just now, because those shining phoenix eyes were exactly the same as her Shao'er!

And his blurred and lazy look just now is exactly the same as when Shao'er woke up!

Her eyes trembled slightly, and even her breathing stopped.

At this moment, in the quiet cell, Ye Jiu heard the beating of his own heartbeat like a battle drum, as well as the endless buzzing in his head.

The three were relatively silent, Xiao Lanfeng looked at the shock in Ye Jiu's pupils, sighed slightly, bowed his head and did not speak again.

Ye Jiu stretched out his hand to grab the wooden pole, and looked at the man's face carefully, except for the almost duplicated eyes, and those slightly raised thin lips, just this face, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a man's face. version of Qi Shaoan.

Ye Jiu had never looked at a man's face so seriously before, tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing Ye Jiu's sudden excitement, the man couldn't figure it out, but he always felt that it was a breach of etiquette not to say hello, so he bent over and saluted, "Sinner Xiao Qi, I've seen Lord Marquis."

"Xiao...Xiao Qi?"

Ye Jiu was startled, subconsciously asked Xiao Lanfeng for confirmation, only to see Xiao Lanfeng was silent for a moment, then nodded, "The person who guarded the city that day was Ziqi."

Ye Jiu's head was buzzing, she was a little confused for a moment, she couldn't connect the fair boy in front of her with the person who seemed to be rolling in mud that day.

Even when I looked at him twice, I didn't recognize him.

Ye Jiu gradually clenched his fist, and punched the stake uncontrollably.

Therefore, she let Shao'er's second brother, who was looking for so hard, be dragged away from her eyes.

Xiao Qi blinked blankly, looked at Xiao Lanfeng, and asked what was going on.

Xiao Lanfeng looked at him deeply, and shook his head subtly.

Xiao Qi had no choice but to lick his lips, so he took two steps forward and asked softly, "Master Hou, why are you..."

"Do you know me, Qi Shao'an?"

Ye Jiu raised his head, his right hand drooped weakly, and asked in a hoarse voice.

Even though she already had the answer in her heart, she still wanted to confirm it, and wanted to hear him affirm the answer in person.

As soon as the words came out, there was suddenly no movement in the cell.

Ye Jiu's heart was beating so fast that she didn't even dare to look at Xiao Qi, for fear that he might say something that would break her down.

"You said... who..."

Xiao Qi's soft voice disappeared, replaced by a voice as cold as hell.

Ye Jiu raised his head, looked at Xiao Qi's cold eyes, and paused every word:

"Qi, Shao, An."

Xiao Qi suddenly rushed over and grabbed Ye Jiu's sleeve, "How do you know her, who are you, where is she, and what have you done to her!"

Xiao Qi's gentle appearance is no longer, those translucent and gentle phoenix eyes are full of ferocity, it seems that as long as Ye Jiu says something dangerous, even across the cell, he can swallow her alive.

Seeing this, Xiao Lanfeng hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xiao Qi's arm, pressed it hard, and growled, "Zi Qi, calm down! Xiao Jiu is here to save you!"

Xiao Qi seemed to have lost his mind, his eyes glowed red, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want him to save me, I just want you to tell me where Shao'er is!"

Ye Jiu let him drag him around, but at this moment, she could still laugh.

"Ziqi! Calm down!"

"I can't calm down, I found so..."

"He is your brother-in-law!!"

Xiao Lanfeng finally couldn't hold back his roar, and with just this sound, like a basin of cold water poured down on Xiao Qi's head, his whole body froze for a moment.

"Brother-in-law...brother-in-law..."

He kept repeating these two words, the strength in his hand gradually loosened, and he let go of Ye Jiu's sleeve.

"Shaoer is still alive...she is still alive...and married...she is really married..."

Xiao Qi kept shaking his eyes, as if he didn't know what to look at, what to do, or even whether to cry or laugh.

Until this moment, Ye Jiu's tears finally fell out.

"Yes, she is still alive, and she married me in May."

She choked up, looked at Xiao Lanfeng's downcast appearance, and said softly: "She misses you very much."

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, then squatted down suddenly, hugged his head, and the suppressed cry overflowed from the crook of his arms: "I'm useless, Shao'er is still so young, but I can't protect her, I'm useless... "

Ye Jiu blinked vigorously, she stretched her hand into the cell, landed on Xiao Qi's back, and patted lightly, "Second Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely reunite you and Shao'er."

Xiao Qi raised his head in an instant, Ye Jiu was stunned by the hope that was ignited in his eyes, but after a while, the starlight in his eyes fell again, "It's useless, His Majesty has issued an edict, and everyone involved , Ten days later, ask to be killed..."

"Ask to cut?? Ten days??"

Ye Jiu was shocked, and stared at Xiao Lanfeng: "When did this happen?!"

Xiao Lanfeng frowned and said: "Master Zhang of the Ministry of Punishment sent someone to inform you yesterday, I'm afraid the imperial edict has already been delivered to the door."

Ye Jiu's face was very ugly at this time, basically at this time, it was impossible to change the edict, and Chu Shishen would not give her the opportunity to change it.

Seeing the silence on Ye Jiu's face, Xiao Qi grabbed her sleeve again, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Don't make things difficult, Lord Hou, as long as I see that Shao'er is well, I'll take care of the rest. There is nothing left to ask for."

"Zi Qi!"

Xiao Lanfeng suddenly let out a low cry, clenched his fists tightly, and looked at Xiao Qi's eyes as if they were about to spew fire.

Ye Jiu pursed his lips, stood up, glanced at the two of them, and said softly: "Tomorrow I will go into the palace to find out what His Majesty has said. Second uncle, you just take care of yourself and leave the rest to me."

……

Two streets away from the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, standing at the entrance of the market, Ye Jiu suddenly punched Xiao Lanfeng hard on the shoulder.

"Xiao Lanfeng! If the second uncle is not in prison now, how long are you going to hide from me!"

Think about the "brother-in-law" that blurted out, this guy must have already known it!

Xiao Lanfeng was unprepared, and staggered suddenly. He covered his shoulders, looked at Ye Jiu's angry and resentful eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Xiao Jiu, you have wronged me, and I only decided today."

Ye Jiu cast a sideways glance at him, and snorted coldly, "Oh, what a coincidence?"

Xiao Lanfeng glanced at her up and down, nodded, "If you hadn't been wearing white clothes today, I'm afraid I couldn't easily bring you to see him."

Ye Jiuwenyan subconsciously looked at the clothes on his body. He was wearing a silver-white robe with a jade belt around his waist. Except for the black boots on his feet, his whole body was glowing white.

She hasn't worn this white robe for a long time, one is because it is too eye-catching, and the other is because her official robes and court clothes are all navy blue and royal blue, so since inheriting it, in order to accentuate her damn temperament, she rarely wears it. Wear bright colors again.

If it wasn't for angering Chu Shangzhang today, she wouldn't be swaying around like a peacock spreading its tail.

She seemed to remember that the last time she wore this robe, she had just arrived at the mansion, and Mrs. Lin specially asked her to wear it to support the facade.

"Young master, why did you come out alone today? Where's your lady?"

A hearty laugh suddenly came to mind around the two of them, Ye Jiu and Xiao Lanfeng turned around at the same time, only to see a noodle stall standing next to them, the owner was greeting them with a smile.

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, then remembered that when he first arrived in the capital, he and Shao'er seemed to have met here.

If I remember correctly, I also wore this set of clothes that day.

"The boss has a good memory, and he recognized all of this."

"Hey, no matter where, the young master and wife are all pretty faces that are rare to see. This old man sees thousands of faces every day. I am deeply impressed by the two of you. I will never forget them."

The boss smiled and waved his hands, and then said with regret: "It's just that you two finished the finished product, but you can't put it on display. You don't know that a son insisted on buying Madam Ling's face mask the day after you two left." , Two days later, another girl wanted to buy yours, my lord, but remember, this old man can’t sell it, so I just made a similar one for them, my lord, can you..."

"A son... bought my wife's mask?"

Ye Jiu seemed to have only heard this sentence, and repeated it slowly.

Then she looked sideways at Xiao Lanfeng and narrowed her eyes.Seeing this, Xiao Lanfeng touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, "That, Ziqi bought it..."

Ye Jiu smiled slightly, grabbed Xiao Lanfeng's collar, and threw it forcefully into the nearby tavern:

"If you don't make it clear to me today, labor and capital will demolish your Xiao Mansion!"

The author has something to say: The second brother is finally here, and Akubo is heavy.

ps Xiao Lanfeng has never met Shao'an.
