The banquet in the Shixianglou was not over yet, suddenly a Jin Wuwei rushed to report the news from the palace.

When Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were arresting people, Cui Taishi and Ying Yinggong were having a banquet in Bai Qianli's mansion.

Hearing the news, both of them showed displeasure, and they all found excuses to leave the meeting early, and went to the palace to see Emperor Changping.

It's a pity that Emperor Changping suffered a headache from his daughter's injury when he went to the Marquis Mansion of Runan for a banquet, and he was recuperating in bed.Mo Yao stopped Taishi Cui and Yingying Gong outside Fengxiang Palace, and refused to inform them.

Taishi Cui and Duke Ying were worried about the safety of the Eucharist, so they deliberately stayed in the palace to serve Emperor Changping.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with hesitation on their faces.

They had long expected that Grand Master Cui and the British Duke would not be indifferent to today's events.

Not to mention how Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng led the Jinwu guards to break into the door and arrest people, how much it hurt the face of Grand Master Cui and Yingying.Cui Taishi and Yinggong couldn't bear the reason for arresting people just because "the subordinates committed crimes and attempted to murder the princess".

But they never expected that Taishi Cui and the British guild were so eager, knowing that Emperor Changping didn't want to see them, they wanted to stay in the palace to 'serve the sick'.

Ji Xinxue leaned on the back of the chair easily, showing a satisfied smile.He said to the people who focused their eyes on him, "They are in a hurry."

I don't know how much difference is there between the eagerness of Grand Master Cui and Duke Ying at this time, compared to the anxiousness of him and Aye when they knew that Ji Mingtong was injured.

Ji Xinxue was calm, relaxed, and even vaguely comfortable, successfully alleviating the anxiety in everyone's hearts.

As long as the sons of the aristocratic family are imprisoned in the prison of Zongrensi for the crime of "offending their superiors and attempting to murder the princess", Taishi Cui and the British Duke will be anxious sooner or later.

Now Taishi Cui and Yingying are so anxious that they can't even wait for one night, it will only make everyone think that they are strong on the outside, but that's all.

Yu Heng picked up the flagon to refill Li Jinhuan who was beside him, and said casually, "Your Majesty has to worry about things in the palace, we don't have to think about it."

Li Jinhuan accepted Yu Heng's words with a smile, acted as a persuasion person, and raised glasses to everyone present in turn.

The suddenly cold atmosphere gradually warmed up, and everyone continued their previous chat.

They participated in this matter because of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng. As long as their hearts are not panicked, they will have confidence in their hearts.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng rushed back to the clan's mansion before the curfew, and they were not in a hurry to chat with the family members in prison, but first carefully sorted out the relationship between the family members.

Qi Yanhe, the only son of the British government's second wife, Cui Qingsong, the eldest son of Cui Taishi's fifth wife, and Kang's third son...

Ji Xinxue stared thoughtfully at the various identities listed on the rice paper, and a look of narrowness suddenly appeared between his brows. He concluded, "These people are carefully selected cannon fodder."

Yu Heng has been used to it for a long time, and from time to time, words that have never been heard come out of Ji Xinxue's mouth.

"Cannon fodder?" He savored the two words carefully, and probably understood what Ji Xinxue wanted to express, "It's really similar."

Whether it is cannon fodder or not is temporarily uncertain.

However, based on the highly similar backgrounds of the family members in the prison, it can basically be concluded that they are carefully selected people.

Leaving aside the official positions of grandparents and fathers, just talk about the family.

These people were all born in the concubine who was not the eldest, and they themselves are descendants of the concubine. Among them, only Qi Yanhe is the eldest son, and the rest are the second or youngest sons.

However, the situation in the British government is special. Sun Zhong, the first wife who is not the eldest wife, excludes Yu Heng first, and there are only two people who do not meet the conditions of the others.One is Qi Yanhe, the eldest son of the third family, and the other is Qi Zhu, the sixth son of the concubine far in the south of the Yangtze River.Therefore, Qi Yanhe's particularity is not for reference.

In the aristocratic family who is not the eldest son of the eldest son, the son of the eldest son.

If he wasn't good enough himself, he would grow up quietly, step by step, marry a wife by luck, and gradually become a side branch, considered a marginal figure in the direct line of the aristocratic family.

When these people cause trouble, the elders of the family can insist on supporting them because they are the sons of the family, and they can just ignore them when they retreat.

Although it will hurt, it is far from the level of muscle and bone.

Ji Xinxue circled Qi Yanhe's name with a pen, and whispered to the Jinwu guard beside her, "Go to the palace tomorrow morning and bring the palace servants around Fourth Sister."

He guessed that when the aristocratic family members were still trying to fool Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng with words, Qi Yanhe was the rare, even the only one who put on a red face.

As the knocking sound sounded, Ji Xinxue lazily yawned sleepily, clutching her belly and said, "I'm hungry, let's go, go and have supper."

When he returned to the clan's mansion, he specially packed a pot of fried shrimp with a strong taste.

This was the first day in prison, and Ji Xinxue didn't think that the pampered family members could fall asleep in the prison, so she didn't specifically order the yamen servants not to allow them to sleep.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the prison, he received twelve angry eyes.

"Aren't you all asleep?" Ji Xinxue smiled with satisfaction.

When the family members heard the words, although they didn't speak, the anger in their eyes became even stronger.

Cui Qingsong said coldly, "It's not our wish to hurt Princess Jinming, why should the princess humiliate us like this."

Ji Xinxue chuckled, turned her head to look at Yu Heng with an innocent face, and sighed, "Aristocrat's mind is so sensitive? I'm just telling the truth."

With such a psychological quality, dare to go out and touch porcelain?

Yu Heng pretended to be innocent on the surface of Ji Xinxue, but he could see the disdain and sneer hidden in his eyes, and his heart beat faster and faster unconsciously.

He suddenly turned his head away, avoiding Ji Xinxue's sight, his eyes were on Qi Yanhe who was holding a suckling pig's trotter, and said coldly, "People with ghosts in their hearts, if you say anything casually, he will think you are insinuating."

"Ah." Ji Xinxue nodded seriously, "So that's how it is."

Hearing the words, the members of the aristocratic family turned their ugly faces into green and red, and the anger in their eyes instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames, but they couldn't say a word to refute.

This series of fights and fights not only suppressed the suppressed anger and momentum of the family members, but also made the family members feel more confident.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were not in a hurry to ask questions, and spent all their time waiting for the yamen servants to bring tables, chairs and hot fried shrimp.

During this period, the members of the aristocratic family kept watching Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng vigilantly, unknowingly getting closer and closer, huddled together like quails.

When the rich fragrance entered the prison along the gate, the loud belly groan broke the eerie silence.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Qi Yanhe, who was holding a braised pig's trotter, stared at his toes carefully, his eyelids trembling uncontrollably.

No one can understand the temptation of the braised pig's trotters wrapped in oil paper.

Cui Qingsong's eyes stayed on Qi Yanhe for a long time, then turned to the marinated pig's trotters wrapped in oil paper, and let out a cold snort.

The calmness that the members of the aristocratic family managed to maintain was completely wiped out when they saw the yamen servant holding the source of fragrance and placed it in front of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

"Princess Anwu!" Cui Qingsong scolded unbearably, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Ji Xinxue lazily raised her eyelids and asked, "What's on purpose?"

"Deliberately let the guards eat and drink in the cell, and humiliate us with miscellaneous grain buns!" Cui Qingsong said through gritted teeth.

"You blamed me wrong, it wasn't my idea." Ji Xinxue unceremoniously threw the pot on Yu Heng, washed her hands with the warm water brought by the yamen servant, and began to peel the shrimp happily.

Yu Heng didn't want to pay attention to Cui Qingsong at first, but when he thought of Ji Xinxue's clever gesture when he was deliberately angry with the family, he couldn't bear it.

He said coldly, "The yamen servants are not allowed to leave the cell when they are on duty. You are supposed to eat in the cell. Now you are wearing a sinful body. According to the rules of the clan mansion, you can only eat miscellaneous grains and drink cold water."

Hearing this, Cui Qingsong suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Yanhe in the corner, his eyes were sharp as if he wanted to cut Qi Yanhe's neck.

Qi Yanhe backed away quietly.

It wasn't until his back was pressed against the dirt wall that he felt the dirt falling on the braised pig's feet in the direction of the top of his head, that he let go of his hand as if he had just woken up from a dream, and wanted to hide to the side again.

As early as years ago, when he got closer to Cui Qingsong following the instructions of the elders in his family, he felt Cui Qingsong's hostility towards him.

Facing the absolute oppression of his figure, it was really difficult for him to restrain the fear in his heart.

Cui Qingsong sneered, and easily relied on brute force to grab Qi Yanhe who was trying to escape, bent down to pick up the dusty marinated pig's trotters and stuffed them into Qi Yanhe's hands, and asked Yu Heng angrily, "What about him? Why doesn't he eat it? Multigrain steamed buns, can you eat braised pig's trotters?"

Disappointment flashed in Yu Heng's eyes.

He thought that Cui Qingsong would ask him, when did Dali Temple have a rule that the body of a sinner can only eat miscellaneous grains and drink cold water.

Thinking about Cui Qingsong, the person who believes what other people say is what Axue said is "legal blind".

Yu Heng not only didn't care about Ji Xinxue's blatant behavior of dumping the pot just now, but also magnanimously carried the pot of sending marinated pig's trotters to Qi Yanhe on Ji Xinxue's behalf.

He glanced at the pleading in Qi Yanhe's eyes, and said confidently, "Because this king thinks he is the least suspicious, so I am extra merciful."

The Zongren Mansion is not bound by the laws of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.He has the token of the Shaoqing of the clan's mansion, as long as Qinghe County King and Qinghe County Prince's son are away, whatever he says will be the rules of the clan's mansion.

Ji Xinxue never expected to see such an annoying side of Yu Heng, so happy, she put all the freshly peeled shrimps into the empty bowl in front of Yu Heng as a reward.

Seeing this, Yu Heng immediately lost interest in continuing to talk to Cui Qingsong, and peeled off the shrimp, trying to fill the small bowl in front of Ji Xinxue.Not caring about his words at all will transfer the dissatisfaction of the family members towards him to Qi Yanhe.

Both of them didn't eat less for dinner, and they were not hungry at all, so they lost interest in the delicious fried shrimp after a while.

Yu Heng turned his head and said to the jailer in the corner, "I will reward you for the rest, just clean it up before the shift tomorrow."

After all, Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue completely ignored the stiff faces of the family members, cleaned their hands slowly and left.It seems that they came to the prison in the middle of the night just to peel and eat shrimps in front of the family members.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng didn't open their eyes until the sun was high on the next day.

There is a special place for Yu Heng to rest in the clan mansion.

Although it is not as spacious and comfortable as Princess Anguo's Mansion and Yuhe Palace, they don't care much about the environment when they sleep, as long as they have a specific 'pillow' around them.Coupled with sufficient sleep time, it can even be called refreshed.

Qingyun brought the clothes brought out from the palace, put them beside Ji Xinxue, and told Ji Xinxue the news from the palace, "Last night, Princess Jin Ming suddenly coughed up blood, and the entire hospital staff were sent to Changchun Palace. , and did not disperse until today. His Majesty was furious because of this, and specially sent someone to instruct the princess and the county king to find out who murdered Princess Jinming."

Ji Xinxue's hand stretched out to the robe was clenched into a fist instantly.

Yu Heng held Ji Xinxue's fist, and said in a very gentle tone, "If something happens, the messenger will call us into the palace as soon as the palace gate is opened."

The news that Ji Mingtong suddenly coughed up blood is likely to be similar to yesterday's news that Emperor Changping suddenly needed to rest in bed because of a headache, and it was just Emperor Changping's method of putting pressure on the aristocratic family.

Ji Xinxue could figure it out, but she couldn't stop worrying about Ji Mingtong.

In addition to worrying about Ji Mingtong's body, he was also worried about Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng... Sigh.

Changing into visible clothes, Ji Xinxue finally regained her composure.

He no longer aroused the dissatisfaction of the aristocratic family by serving extra meals for the jailer, but ordered the jailer to take Qi Yanhe out of the cell and eat alone.

The lunch prepared for Qi Yanhe was richer than that eaten by Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng. Every dish was delicious in color and fragrance, so that when Qi Yanhe returned to the cell, he would be full of the aroma of the meal.

The sons of the aristocratic family who are always in the cell can only eat porridge and boiled vegetables to wrap their stomachs. If they don't eat, they can only starve.

Before Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue finished their lunch, the aristocratic family suddenly sent people to the clan mansion to deliver things to the aristocratic children.These include not only charcoal fires for bedding, a change of clothes, preserved pastries, but even copper basins and urinals for washing.

Ji Xinxue, who was in a depressed mood, laughed outright angrily when he heard the words, "Could it be that they use the prison of the Clan Mansion as a place to play and go outing?"

When Yu Heng heard this, his eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he looked far away at the prison where the children of the aristocratic family were imprisoned.

He doesn't mind the aristocratic family giving things to the aristocratic family, after all, the aristocratic family can give it, and he doesn't have to accept it.But he didn't like the loose and casual attitude of the aristocratic family towards the clan mansion.

Although this news didn't make Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng happy, it wasn't a bad thing either.

At least it meant that the news of Ji Mingtong coughing up blood spread in the middle of the night, and the family no longer had the extravagant hope of immediately getting the son out of custody.

Ji Xinxue thought for a while, and ordered the servants of the clan's government office to keep all the things sent by each family.

The things sent by the British government are stored separately and sent to Qi Yanhe on time and in quantity every day.

For the rest of the things sent by the house, just find a warehouse to store them.After a few months, when no one cares about this matter, they will be quietly sent to a shelter for women and children on the outskirts of the city.

From this day forward, although Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng lived in the clan's residence, apart from giving Qi Yanhe special treatment, they never appeared in front of the family members in prison, as if they had been completely forgotten.

In the process of deliberately leaving the aristocratic family to hang out, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng secretly ordered someone to investigate the outer room of Qinghe Hutong and when the aristocratic family began to gather together to play together.

The next day, Ji Mingtong, who was rumored to be coughing up blood, was out of danger, and the imperial physicians and imperial physicians who had been gathering in Changchun Palace returned to the imperial hospital one after another.

Ji Xinxue heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the news.

The imperial physician and imperial physician have already left, but Ji Cheng still stays in the Changchun Palace. Aye must have not found out about Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng.

Thinking of these two people, Ji Xinxue's head inevitably hurts.

He wanted to comfort himself with Ji Mingtong's immature thoughts, maybe it was just a momentary impulse, but Ji Mingtong's crying that day always appeared in his mind.

She said that as long as she can remember, there is Ji Cheng by her side, and she can't imagine life without Ji Cheng. It doesn't matter whether she is married or not, as long as Ji Cheng is there.

She also said that she doesn't like children at all, as long as there is Ji Cheng, it doesn't matter if there is no child.

……

In just a few words, Ji Mingtong was giving up.

An immature person suddenly becomes comprehensive because of Ji Cheng, how could it be impulsive?

Ji Xinxue collapsed on the rocking chair, staring blankly ahead.The thoughts in his mind were so chaotic that he couldn't tell whether he hoped that Emperor Changping would beat the mandarin ducks cruelly and arrange a smoother future for Ji Mingtong, or he hoped that Ji Mingtong could realize his wish.

After a while, Ji Xinxue smiled wryly and gave up thinking about this question.

I hope that when Ji Mingtong experiences ups and downs in the future, he will be stronger and try his best to understand Emperor Changping's mood.

Yu Heng came in from outside the door with a wooden box. Before seeing Ji Xinxue's expression, he had already felt Ji Xinxue's decadence from Ji Xinxue's decadent posture lying on his back, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Ji Xinxue raised her arms and looked at Yu Heng, her eyes were full of sorrow, "I miss my sister and Ji Cheng."

If Yu Heng could come in later or don't ask him what he was thinking, maybe he would have forgotten them.

"Yeah." Complex emotions flashed in Yu Heng's eyes, and he sat down in the gap specially made by Ji Xinxue, and asked, "How did they determine each other's life?"

Everything happened too fast the day before yesterday, and he didn't have time to sort out his emotions other than shock when he was caught off guard by hearing that Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong had decided on a lifelong mutual agreement.

It wasn't until these two days that he pondered over the emotions at that time that he realized that the emotion that appeared at the same time as shock was called envy.

Just like when Ji Xinxue heard that Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng had agreed to each other for life, she immediately thought of many clues that she hadn't paid attention to before.With Yu Heng and Ji Cheng's familiarity, Yu Heng can also think of a lot, and Ji Cheng has already had other clues about Ji Mingtong.

Comparing the situations of the two sides, it is hard for Yu Heng not to envy Ji Cheng.

The same relationship between childhood sweethearts and the same desperate situation, Ji Cheng has already made a life-long commitment to the one he loves, but he can only do his best to conceal his feelings, for fear that Ji Xinxue will see some clues and make an unacceptable response.

He is afraid of too many things.

He was afraid that Ji Xinxue would think that he was abnormal and would ignore him again, and also that Ji Xinxue would alienate him because of this.

Even if Ji Xinxue just changed his attitude a little bit, and he was not allowed to accompany the other party all the time, Yu Heng couldn't accept it.

He was even afraid that even if Ji Xinxue had someone closer, he could not help but do things that would hurt Ji Xinxue.

Yu Heng thought, maybe he should find a suitable opportunity to drink with Ji Cheng.

The place where you don't get drunk and don't return.

Because of her posture, Ji Xinxue didn't see the frustration in Yu Heng's eyebrows.

Although he didn't want to think about the matter of Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng anymore, but the person who asked him about it was Yu Heng, and it wasn't that he couldn't help it.

That day when he hurriedly led people to the Changchun Palace, he just happened to bump into Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng 'exchanging, complaining, heartfelt, and intestines'.

Speaking of it, Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng were unlucky.

In order to take a shortcut and see Ji Mingtong quickly, Ji Xinxue went straight to Ji Mingtong's bedroom from the side door of Changchun Palace which was closer to the palace gate.When entering the dormitory, it is also through the side door.

At that time, the palace servants who served Ji Mingtong personally were all outside the main entrance of the bedroom, and they happened to miss Ji Xinxue perfectly.The palace guards guarding the side door didn't know what happened in the hall. According to the usual habits, let alone obstructing, they never even thought of reporting. It was easy for Ji Xinxue to bring Li Jinhuan, Zhang Siyi, and Yan Meng into the affectionate of two people.

Fortunately, Ji Mingtong immediately expressed his willingness to explain to Ji Xinxue, so Ji Xinxue managed to maintain his composure, and prevented Li Jinhuan and Yan Meng from engaging in inhumane mixed doubles against the disciple who molested his sister.

Although Ji Xinxue was in a rage and his mind was blank, he still had reason.

He asked Li Jinhuan and others to withdraw first, and took all the palace people outside the bedroom to the main hall, ensuring that no one would drive straight in and hear the 'secret'.

Then he stood by the bed with a cold face, waiting for Ji Mingtong's explanation.

Thinking of this, Ji Xinxue couldn't help but put on the mask of pain.

He definitely had some brain problems at the time, and he naively believed that Ji Mingtong wanted to explain!

The two hugged each other and talked to each other, even... there was no room for explanation.

Could it be that he feels that the other party has been talking for too long and his lips are dry, so he kindly helps the other party moisturize his lips?

As soon as Li Jinhuan and the others left, Ji Mingtong threw himself on him and crazily stuffed dog food into his mouth.

Weeping and saying that she can't live without Ji Cheng, she can give up this and that for Ji Cheng, as long as Ji Cheng is there.

If it hadn't been for Ji Cheng's acquaintance since childhood, Ji Xinxue knew that Ji Cheng would not deceive Ji Mingtong, especially would not deceive anyone in this matter, and he would almost have the thought of killing Ji Cheng.

The more Ji Xinxue repeated Ji Mingtong's words, the more irritable she felt, and she closed her mouth covering her heart that was beating faster and faster.

No, if he continued, he might faint.

Yu Heng was very interested in what Ji Mingtong said.

He turned his head and fixed his eyes on Ji Xinxue.

Because Yu Heng was facing the light, Ji Xinxue couldn't see Yu Heng's expression clearly, but Ji Xinxue could feel the stubbornness in Yu Heng's eyes.

If he doesn't explain something that clearly interests Yu Heng, Yu Heng will look at him anytime and anywhere with eyes full of curiosity.

Ji Xinxue stared at Yu Heng silently, but she still grimaced and spoke reluctantly.

Considering his fragile heart, he only said the summary based on Ji Mingtong's words.

"On the fifth day of the lunar new year, she made a mutual agreement with Ji Cheng for life, and she was willing to never marry for each other." Ji Xinxue paused, his face even more ugly, "Because according to the historical records of the Jin Dynasty, there were many children with natural disabilities. Gather the secret recipes to nourish your looks with neutering."

He didn't want to know why Ji Mingtong came up with such a prescription... He really wanted to kill Ji Cheng.

Shock flashed in Yu Heng's eyes, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he murmured, "Princess Jin Ming..."

Ji Xinxue quickly raised her hand, and unceremoniously pinched Yu Heng's lips into a duckbill shape, preventing Yu Heng from finishing the sentence, and looked at Yu Heng with warning eyes.

Not to mention the secret recipe, they can still be good friends.

Yu Heng's palms were clenched behind his back suddenly, and then slowly relaxed. He nodded with a dull expression on his face, and his desire to find Ji Cheng so that he wouldn't get drunk and return was even stronger, and a faint hope suddenly appeared in his heart.

Ji Cheng can change what he wants, and let Ji Mingtong willingly give up marriage and having children, can he also?

The warning in Ji Xinxue's eyes turned into suspicion, and she supported her body with one hand and quickly approached Yu Heng, wanting to observe Yu Heng's expression.

Yu Heng immediately came back to his senses, rolling his eyes dully to look at Ji Xinxue.

Based on his understanding of Ji Xinxue and his rich experience, he must not dodge anything at this time, otherwise Ji Xinxue will definitely pay more attention to his abnormalities.

Ji Xinxue waved her hand in front of Yu Heng's eyes, and collapsed from exhaustion.

Very good, with a dazed face, in a daze.

Another day of self-indulgence.

He actually felt envious on Yu Heng's face just now.

Ji Xinxue's eyes were empty, and finally kicked the figures of Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng out of his mind.

Recently, I feel that Yu Heng has thoughts about him a bit frequently, but he just likes himself in the bronze mirror, and he doesn't take it for granted that everyone should like him because of his appearance in the bronze mirror.

He's really not a narcissist.

Should we think from another angle, stop looking for 'effect' based on false 'cause', and use real 'effect' to infer 'cause' instead.

He always has the illusion that Yu Heng has thoughts about him, is it because he has thoughts about Yu Heng?

Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng thoughtfully.

But he fell asleep with Yu Heng in his arms day and night, and he never had the idea of ​​being more intimate with Yu Heng than being close to his body.

Maybe...he should read a few picture albums to get his feel.

The two people in the room fell into deep thought, and neither spoke for a long time.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng didn't appear in front of everyone until the third day after the family's son was imprisoned in the clan's prison.

I haven't seen you for three days, the children of the aristocratic family... it stinks.

Except for the Kang girl who was moved to a solitary cell that day, eleven men crowded together day and night, eating and drinking without moving their place, the smell would be fresh.

In just three days, the children of the aristocratic family lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye.Not only are the clothes on his body crumpled and piled up randomly like dried pickles, which looks very unseemly, but his face is also full of vicissitudes and fatigue, as if he is an old man who is dying, without the vitality of a young man at all.

In contrast, Qi Yanhe, who was neat and decent with a ruddy complexion, could be called out of place.

Not only his appearance and spirit are in stark contrast to those around him, but also his kindness when he looks at Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng is quite different from the rest of them.

Ji Xinxue nodded in satisfaction, and on a whim, decided to bring Qi Yanhe to trial first.

He winked at Yu Heng and asked Yu Heng to take Qi Yanhe away.

During this period, Ji Xinxue stared gloomyly at the family members in the cell, as if she wanted to cut them into pieces with her gaze.

Sensing the change in the light, Ji Xinxue sneered and said to the people with wary eyes, "You are lucky, the only reason for coughing up blood is that the throat is damaged, not the internal organs."

Most of these people are in the aristocratic family, more than the top, more than the bottom, and the most easily overlooked fringe figures of the direct line.

Compared with the eldest family who will inherit the position of the head of the family, they are destined to change from the direct branch to the side branch, and cannot be tilted by the family's resources.

Even if they are not compared with the eldest brother of the same father, they are destined to make sacrifices from birth.

However, compared to the concubine or the concubine, their situation can be called crushing.

Therefore, the sons of the aristocratic families who are being imprisoned in the prison of the clan's mansion are far superior to their best peers in terms of talent and character, but they are not inferior in terms of arrogance.

It fits the description of 'proud and inferior'.

At this time, the children of the aristocratic family have been subjected to 'humiliation' and 'torture' for three full days, and the line of defense in their hearts has long been crumbling.Hearing Ji Xinxue's words, most people were visibly relieved.

Just as everyone was slowly relaxing their tense hearts, Ji Xinxue suddenly pulled out the soft whip hidden in his wide sleeves, and slammed it hard on the fence of the cell where the family members were imprisoned, making a very loud sound.

There are a total of eleven family members in the cell.

The five people howled miserably, three of them fell to the ground, and two of them crazily squeezed into the cell.

The four of them trembled in fright, and ran away with their heads in their hands.

Only Cui Qingsong and Kang Ge just flinched, without any exaggerated movements.

However, blocked by the fence, Ji Xinxue's whip didn't hit anyone from the beginning to the end.

Ji Xinxue lowered her eyes to hide the disdain in her eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Don't let me catch who deliberately troubled my elder sister, or even if Aye let him go, I wouldn't let him go."

He looked at each person who dared to raise his head in turn, and he would not look at the next person until the other person could not bear the pressure of the eye contact and turned his head.

Before leaving the prison, Ji Xinxue upheld the principle of fairness and slapped Miss Kang's cell.

Compared with the person who didn't know how to hurt Ji Mingtong in the melee, the Kang girl should be punished more.Based on what has happened, it was not accidental that she grabbed Ji Mingtong's swollen wrist in the first place, and most likely she wanted to anger Ji Mingtong.

It's a pity that Ji Mingtong just fell in love, he's in a good mood, and he's also a generous person, that's why he didn't bother with Miss Kang.

Ji Xinxue raised her hands to cover the sunlight shining on her eyes, and casually ordered the guards who followed her, "Look for a few non-toxic spiders with hairy legs at night, and throw them into the cell where the Kang girls are held."

It can not only punish the daughter of the Kang family, but also keep the gentlemen of the family awake all night, so as to facilitate the interrogation tomorrow.

On the other side, Yu Heng took Qi Yanhe to another place.

It is not a special torture room for interrogation, but a room where government officials rest temporarily.

Although in Qi Yanhe's eyes, the place where his soles were still dirty, it was at least a hundred and eighty times stronger than the cell where he had been squatting for three days.

"Brother." Qi Yanhe looked at Yu Heng with moving eyes, and said incoherently, "I knew you would not ignore me, we are brothers."

Yu Heng avoided Qi Yanhe's hand reaching out to him calmly, stepped back silently, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit."

Even if the prison guards gave Qi Yanhe a new set of clothes from the British government every day when Qi Yanhe came out to eat, they still couldn't completely cover up the smell on Qi Yanhe's body.

Qi Yanhe nodded repeatedly, and sat in the designated position according to Yu Heng's request.

Yu Heng knew that Ji Xinxue would not come here, and wanting to interrogate Qi Yanhe was just a temporary idea.

The person they selected for interrogation was not Qi Yanhe from the beginning, but a member of the Kang family.

After all, with Kang Ge around, people from the Kang Corporation are most likely to know things that others don't.

Thinking that the reason for Ji Xinxue's improvisation was to get angry for him when he was young, a soft emotion suddenly flashed in Yu Heng's eyes, even looking at Qi Yanhe was more pleasing to the eye than before.

"The people in Qinghe Hutong, whose concubine is it?" Yu Heng asked the easiest question first.

Qi Yanhe said helplessly, "It's really cousin Kang Ge's concubine, otherwise how dare we help Kang Ge explain to Princess Jinming."

Yu Heng stared fixedly at Qi Yanhe, and suddenly had the idea of ​​leaving immediately.

In the first sentence, the easiest question to answer, Qi Yanhe lied half a sentence.

All the news he sent to investigate can be proved.

At least half a month ago, Qi Yanhe had almost no intersection with Kang Ge.

When the news about "Kang Ge's concubine raised by Princess Jinming is pregnant" was spreading, their friendship suddenly improved by leaps and bounds at the banquets of various families.

Although both Qi Yanhe and Kang Ge are the direct sons of the non-eldest sons of the aristocratic family, their status is very different in the eyes of the strictly hierarchical family.

If it wasn't for his relationship with Ji Mingtong, Kang Ge would be just the most common direct descendant of aristocratic family.

However, as long as the status of the eldest son of the British government is not settled, Qi Yanhe is very likely to become the grandson of the British government, and even surpass the eldest grandson to become the young master of the Qi family.

With Qi Yanhe's high self-esteem, if not for the instructions of his elders, how could he have made friends with Kang Ge when Kang Ge's reputation was at its lowest point?

If they really hit it off, the two should have become friends when Kang Ge took advantage of Ji Mingtong to show off in the family.

So Qi Yanhe didn't do what he said, because the people in Qinghe Hutong were indeed Kang Ge's cousin and not Kang Ge's, so he helped Kang Ge 'explain' to Ji Mingtong.

He must have done this because of the elders' explanation.

Yu Heng specifically picked a question that was the best answer to start with, but Qi Yanhe took the initiative to add a half sentence of lies that would affect Yu Heng's thinking.

"Brother?" Qi Yanhe was flustered by Yu Heng's black and white eyes, licked his lower lip nervously, and spoke faster and faster, "I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. Princess Jinming and Kang Ge have been together for many years. How can I bear to watch them falling out because of irrelevant people? That's why I promised Kang Ge to help him explain. If I had known that Princess Jin Ming was so angry, I would have persuaded Kang Ge to be more tactful. They... "

Yu Heng's patience was completely worn out by Qi Yanhe's nonsense.He got up suddenly and strode towards the door.

Even if he has spare time, he will not waste it on Qi Yanhe.

When Qi Yanhe saw this, the panic in his eyes became more real, and he hurriedly chased after him.

Why are you suddenly angry?

In this ghost place, he couldn't live without Yu Heng's care.

"Brother! Although I promised Kang Ge to help him persuade Princess Jinming, I didn't have time to speak. Besides, I have never been close to Princess Jinming. Princess Jinming's injury has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Yu Heng raised his hand to hold the door, turned around and looked down at his cousin who was already half a head shorter than him before he knew it, and said coldly, "Don't lie and nonsense."

Qi Yanhe nodded again and again, "How could I lie to you. Thanks to your care these days, I can live like a human being. I hate that I didn't know the meaning of a brother until now. What happened when I was young was all wrong. In the future, brother will decide meeting……"

Yu Heng opened the door abruptly, ignoring Qi Yanhe who was yelling behind him.

He ordered the jailer who came up to him, "Shut up for two hours before sending him back to the prison."

Then he strode away with Qi Yanhe's increasingly ferocious roar.

After so many years, Qi Yanhe still hasn't changed his problem of not being able to understand human language.

But he has changed.

He is now the King of Xianglin County, and he is no longer a small county king who secretly speculated about his elders' preferences and listened impatiently to Qi Yanhe's nonsense.
