I was a princess in ancient times

When Ji Xinxue saw Yu Heng, his eyes flashed, "He doesn't know people?"

Although he never went to the prison in the past few days, he would listen to the jailer's report on the movements of the family members every day.

Qi Yanhe is clearly the man with the highest status among the princes of the family in the prison of the clan's mansion, and he has been blatantly taken care of by the ordered jailer, and he is also the most disliked person among the family's sons.

It's hard for such a stupid person to suddenly become smart without being reminded.

Yu Heng nodded, and perfectly summed up his process of interrogating Qi Yanhe in just one sentence.

"Full of lies and bullshit, a waste of time."

Ji Xinxue flicked the empty whip resoundingly, indifference appeared in his eyes.

He gave Qi Yanhe a chance, but unfortunately the other party failed to seize it.

"Come..." Ji Xinxue waved to the yamen servant not far away, and ordered the yamen servant to go to the big kitchen to ask for hot water, and rewarded Qi Yanhe with a hot bath to wash away the stench on her body.

Then a new cell was opened next to the cell where the aristocratic children were detained, and Qi Yanhe was settled alone, and the bedding and toiletries sent by the British government earlier were also taken there.

The members of the aristocratic family were already dissatisfied with Qi Yanhe, and watched helplessly as the difference in treatment between the two sides became wider and wider... Why worry that they can't afford internal strife.

Ji Xinxue temporarily changed the plan to interrogate the children of the aristocratic family from today, to give them enough time to feel the difference.

On the next day, the [-]th day of the first lunar month, all important ministers who can participate in the small court meeting will enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Emperor Changping, and hold the first small court meeting in six years of Emperor Changping to deal with important matters that occurred during the New Year.

If there are no accidents, the next large-scale office will be when the annual vacation is completely over, the Grand Court Meeting on the [-]th of January.

Although Taishi Cui and Duke Ying are qualified to participate in the Xiaochaohui, with Emperor Changping present, Ji Xinxue is not at all worried that the family members in the prison of the clan's mansion will be pardoned today.

At dawn, Ji Xinxue opened her eyes amidst the crowing of the rooster, staring at the bed curtain in a daze.It wasn't until the warm and soft touch came from my ears that I closed my eyes with peace of mind.

Yu Heng raised his hands patiently, waiting for the crowing of the cock to end.Suddenly discovering that Ji Xinxue had fallen into a deep sleep again, surprise immediately appeared on her troubled face.

Because the crowing of the cock hadn't ended yet, Ji Xinxue was afraid that she would wake up again.He didn't dare to let go of his hands covering Ji Xinxue's ears, so he could only observe Ji Xinxue's sleeping face in a posture that tested his tenacity, with his upper body almost parallel to his legs.

Since the second year of Changping, Ji Xinxue has been tricked by people using Feisi grass lip balm and Bifilaria powder.Although the detoxification is timely, it leaves a problem of being very easy to wake up.

This is the first time Yu Heng has seen Ji Xinxue fall asleep in a situation that is not absolutely silent in recent years.

After quietly staring at Ji Xinxue's sleeping face for a long time, Yu Heng belatedly felt the warm breath spraying evenly on his face.His gaze naturally followed Ji Xinxue's closed eyelids, skipped over the straight and delicate bridge of the nose, and landed on the crimson lips full of health.

The joy that came from accidentally discovering that Ji Xinxue's stubborn illness showed signs of improvement, unknowingly changed to another kind of excited emotion.

Struggling appeared in Yu Heng's eyes, after all, he still couldn't completely control the beast that was frantically breaking free from the shackles in his heart.He lowered his eyelids, carefully lowered his head and pressed his forehead to Ji Xinxue's.

Even if it's just a quick touch like a superficial touch, it can satisfy the corners of his eyes and brows.

At the same time, the important ministers who are qualified to participate in the small court meeting have entered the palace along the east gate one by one.

Compared with the first few years of Emperor Changping's ascension to the throne, this year is considered a rare year of peace. From the time I closed my pen a few years ago to now, all the news in the newspapers are happy events.

Not only did Emperor Changping always have a smile on his lips, the courtiers also imagined that this year would be a good year with good weather, and euphemistically praised Emperor Changping for his ability to govern the country.

Don't look at the courtiers who can participate in the small court meeting, as the existence standing on the "top of the pyramid" in the officialdom of the Yu Dynasty, they always sneer at the petty officials' flattery behavior, secretly thinking that the other party's posture is urgent, ugly, slavish, and harbors malicious intentions ...

Whenever it was their turn to flatter the emperor, their words and gestures would be more unrestrained than the low-level officials.

Complimenting the emperor is not only shameless, but also very honorable!

Grand Master Cui and Ying Gong had already discussed in private that they would ask Emperor Changping to show mercy today and let the sons of the family who were being locked up in the clan's mansion go home.

However, my colleagues are chatting with Emperor Changping in full swing.

One of the two parties dared to boast, and the other not only dared to listen, but was also willing to condescend to praise in return.Do not give Cui Taishi and Britain the opportunity to open their mouths at all.

The two exchanged glances quietly, and decided to stay in Fengxiang Palace when the court was over, and talk about this matter with Emperor Changping alone, so that no one who was not at odds with the aristocratic family would deliberately block it.

Reaching the same opinion, Cui Taishi and Ying Gong also joined the ranks of flattering successively.

Emperor Changping had a panoramic view of the changes in the expressions of Taishi Cui and Yingying Gong, and calmly winked at the confidants in the front row.

Because there was nothing important, only a quarter of an hour later, the Xiaochaohui was about to end.

Emperor Changping smiled and said to the courtiers, "Xiao Wu came back from the fief this time to honor my whole set of enamel mahjong. Is there anyone who prefers this way? I will use this set of enamel mahjong as a lottery. Who will win the most today? Mahjong will be rewarded to anyone."

Before the confidants who had received the wink from Emperor Changping reacted, several courtiers who were enthusiastic about this way had already stepped forward.

Seeing this, Grand Master Cui and Ying Yinggong, although their faces did not change, they had different thoughts in their hearts.

Seeing Grand Master Cui standing still for a long time, the British official cursed "Old man" secretly, and before everyone left the study, he bowed to Emperor Changping, "Your Majesty, Princess Anwu has already decided to 'investigate the matter of the Marquis of Runan'. The reason is that the descendants of important ministers have been imprisoned for nearly five days, and I don’t know how long it will take to get results?”

When Marquis Runan, who happened to be in the study, heard the words, his face immediately turned livid, and he looked at Duke Ying with sharp hostility.He said coldly, "Why is the British princess so eager? Assassinating the princess is a serious crime. Naturally, Princess Anwu will spend a lot of time and energy on careful investigation to avoid wronging your grandson."

Not only the Marquis of Runan felt that when the British public mentioned the changes that happened in the first seven days, they said it was "a matter of the Marquis of Runan's mansion", and they were deliberately troubling him.

The Duke of England also felt that Marquis Runan was provoking him by defining the misunderstanding between the young man and the girl as "assassination" because he wanted to resolve the misunderstanding.

The two stared at each other, with fire in their eyes.

Grand Master Cui suddenly came out of the crowd and suggested, "Princess Anwu is young after all, she has never dealt with this kind of thing, and she was suddenly thrown into the shelves, and she was at a loss, and the delay is understandable. The person responsible for the crime went to assist Princess Anwu."

Emperor Changping pinched the center of his brows, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly subsided, "I have already promised Mingtong that I will hand over this matter to Xiao Wu for investigation."

Taishi Cui and Duke Ying exchanged glances again, and instead cared about Ji Mingtong's injury.

Emperor Changping heard the words and turned to look at Songnian.

Song Nian said with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, "The pulse record sent by the imperial doctor this morning records that Princess Jin Ming's fever is gradually shortening every night, ranging from three to five days to half a month."

"Your Majesty!" Both Grand Master Cui and Duke Ying were surprised, and at the same time lifted up their robes and knelt on the ground, and said sadly, "I would like to guarantee the head of the item, and the foolish grandson will never have the guts to murder the princess!"

Both of them are veterans who have gone through three dynasties, and it is rare for them to be in such a mess.In addition to the courtiers who had friendship with the two people pleading for mercy, many courtiers who didn't care about this matter also showed their faces.

They will never be soft when they fight for power, but they will inevitably have the melancholy of hurting others when facing the emperor.

Emperor Changping's tense face eased a little, and he signaled Songnian and Jing Zhe to help Taishi Cui and Yingying Gong get up, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Xiao Wu has always been careful and will never wrong them. If they just made mistakes accidentally, it's not If you intend to murder Mingtong, I will only severely punish the mastermind, and punish the accomplices with minor punishments."

Grand Master Cui and British Duke heard the words, shouted "Your Majesty is wise" with expressions on their faces, and after saluting, followed the strength of Song Nian and Jing Zhe to get up.

It was not until the sun was westward that the final ownership of the enamel mahjong was determined.

The always expressionless Marquis Runan won everyone's golden melon seeds, and won the enamel mahjong with an unstoppable crushing posture.

He tremblingly took the spoils from Emperor Changping. Seeing that Emperor Changping had no dissatisfaction in his eyes, he was moved to tears and pulled Emperor Changping's wrist to express his loyalty.

I hope that the enamel mahjong bestowed by His Majesty can defeat the bad luck of the Marquis of Runan.

It's hard for the Marquis of Runan not to doubt whether the Marquis of Runan's mansion has recently violated the taboo of Tai Sui.

It's just that after a year, everything suddenly became unsatisfactory.

Not only did Princess Huai'an, who intended to marry her son years ago, suddenly alienate the Runan Marquis, but Princess Jinming was also injured in the Runan Marquis... Fortunately, His Majesty believed that the Marquis was innocent in this matter and did not blame him.

The abominable son of an aristocratic family dared to make such a mess in the Runan Marquis Mansion, and completely ignored the Runan Marquis Mansion.

He has nothing to do with them!

When everyone left the palace, Marquis Runan held the enamel mahjong and slammed away Grand Master Cui and Duke Yingying who were standing side by side, and left the palace proudly before them.

Both the Duke of England and Grand Master Cui ignored Marquis Runan, they pretended to chat a few words, and went to the Duke of England together.

Ever since Princess Anwu and King Xianglin led the Jinwu Guards to arrest the family members who were going to the Marquis of Runan for a banquet, their original plan has been completely disrupted.

Emperor Changping's reaction was probably within their expectations, but the next thing is not guaranteed, it must be discussed carefully.

In the end, it was because of what happened one after another that they had a grudge against each other.

The two reached a consensus to go to the British government but did not take the same carriage. After entering the study room guarded by their confidants, the smiles on the surface immediately disappeared completely, and there was almost invisible patience in the eyes of each other.

After a long time, the British Duke spoke first, "According to His Majesty, at least until the Great Court Meeting on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, no one will be released from the prison of the Clan Mansion."

Grand Master Cui nodded, not wanting to say a word.

This year is the sixth year of Changping. Counting from the 21st year of Yanguang, it is already the seventh year since Emperor Changping ascended the throne.He is a born fool, and he should realize at this time that Emperor Changping and King Jia are two completely different people, or that Emperor Changping who holds great power is the real face of King Jia.

From the time when he and Ying Gong received the news that the juniors were arrested in the clan's mansion, and they went to the palace to see Emperor Changping but they didn't see anyone, he knew that the juniors who were imprisoned in the clan's mansion were easy to enter and difficult to get out of.

If he could see through Emperor Changping earlier, he should not have supported Emperor Changping's enthronement back then.

Even if King Li, who is completely controlled by the Jiang family, ascends to the throne, he will not make the family feel uncomfortable like Emperor Changping.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, the current Emperor Changping is no longer the 'naive' prince who could only rely on Mo Yao and his reputation for filial piety to secure the throne.He is the Changping Emperor who took control of the military power, gradually gathered the political power, and rejuvenated the already declining Yu Dynasty.

This is not the only thing that Grand Master Cui regrets?

If he had the chance to repent, he would definitely not waste this chance on Emperor Changping.

After all, there was nothing wrong with Yu Chao's rejuvenation.

The biggest mistake was that Yu Chaohuan became angry. As the grand master of the current dynasty and the head of the Cui family, he was forced to walk up the cane between the cliffs.

Cui Taishi held the teacup in both hands and turned unconsciously, the light in his eyes became more and more lax.

If there is really a chance to choose again, where will he use this chance?

During the Qianyuan Dynasty, because he could not bear the suppression of the Qianyuan Emperor, he accepted the olive branch from the Ming King of the previous dynasty and participated in the Mountain Hunting Change?

Who could have imagined that Emperor Qianyuan, as if he wanted to completely wipe out the aristocratic family, drastically suppressed the aristocratic family, causing panic in the aristocratic family.It turned out to be the lightest blow to the family by the emperor of the Yu Dynasty in the past hundred years.

It wasn't until after the Hunting Mountain Incident that Emperor Qianyuan let the family know what it means to flow blood into rivers.

It's a pity that he didn't remember anything back then, even if he could choose again, he still couldn't persuade his grandfather and father to change their minds.

This matter is not mentioned for the time being, the next wrong thing.

After Emperor Qianyuan's King Yuan ascended the throne, in order to disrupt the Yu Dynasty, he deliberately provoked the only two remaining princes, so that Emperor Jianxing was almost expelled from the clan?

Thinking of this, a faint melancholy flashed in Taishi Cui's old eyes.

When he was just starting to study, even if he was the eldest grandson, he couldn't shake his grandfather and father's decision.

If Emperor Jianxing had been able to successfully assassinate Emperor Jianxing in the process of becoming a vassal, maybe he would not have the troubles of today.

After the death of King Yuan, the throne may fall on the Qinghe County King branch or the Xinyang County King branch. It is also possible that the two sides will fight hard. Rejuvenation.

It's a pity that Princess An Guo used the trump card specially entrusted to her by Emperor Qianyuan to protect Emperor Jianxing, and King Yuan also made him very close to this elder brother. Sending him to a place of bitter cold, Yuan Wang also used his only power to the extreme and tried his best to preserve Emperor Jianxing.

Thinking about it now, even if he had the chance to regret it, he could only influence what happened during the Jianxing Dynasty.

But at that time, it was too late to change anything.

As long as the remnants of the previous dynasty threaten him with the clues that the Cui family left behind when they cooperated with them, he will still promise King Ming to support Emperor Yanguang, who is like a playboy, to ascend to the throne.

Trash, Emperor Yanguang, heh.

Grand Master Cui held up the teacup to cover the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

People, as long as they are infected with madness, they will not be a complete waste.

Emperor Yanguang relied on his family to ascend to the throne, and in the past two years, he seemed to respect the family and be grateful for his kindness.Then he went crazy without warning, imitating Emperor Qianyuan, and bloodbathed half of the surviving families with lightning speed.Regardless of the fact that in the hands of the aristocratic family, there is evidence that he killed his father and seized the throne.

The results of it?

The aristocratic family that has been bloodbathed has no chance to produce evidence of Emperor Yanguang's patricide and identify Emperor Yanguang.

The aristocratic families that had not been bloodbathed were frightened out of their wits. Except for the Yu family who had never been involved in these matters, they all honestly followed Emperor Yanguang's request, humiliatedly gave up their ancestral land, and moved their clan to live in Chang'an.

They didn't even dare to use the evidence that Emperor Yanguang murdered Emperor Jianxing to threaten Emperor Yanguang.

According to Emperor Yanguang's request, they still have a chance to survive.If Emperor Yanguang was mentioned, they would definitely be the ones who died first.

In this gamble, Emperor Yanguang won the throne, and the Bai family far away in the south of the Yangtze River took advantage of the trend. Not only did they completely suppress the Yu family, but they also began to have the confidence to search for resources around them to strengthen themselves.

Only the aristocratic family lost their wives and lost their soldiers, and the losers were completely defeated.

The Duke of England did not wait for Taishi Cui's next words for a long time, the patience in his eyes became more and more intense, and his tone became extremely depressed, "In Brother Cui's opinion, what should we do next, so that His Majesty can release him as soon as possible."

Grand Master Cui held back the sarcasm, and asked back, "In the current situation, it is more beneficial for us if His Majesty doesn't let him go, isn't it?

Ever since accidents happened one after another in Shannan Dongdao and Jiangnan, decades of painstaking efforts of the remnants of the previous dynasty were ruined.

Ming Wang, who was far away in Turkic, couldn't accept the Yu Dynasty, which was seeing its doom, so he rejuvenated in just five years, and even had the momentum of another round of prosperity.He frequently used secret letters to urge the family to assassinate Emperor Changping or to cause some trouble for Emperor Changping, so that Emperor Changping had no intention of governing.

The aristocratic family is not a fool, how could it be possible to bump into the blade when Emperor Changping was most energetic?

Even the change of hunting mountains in the Qianyuan Dynasty happened when the heroes of Emperor Qianyuan were in their twilight.

If the Ming kings of the previous dynasty were not far away in Turkic, but in the territory of the Yu Dynasty, they would have done everything they could to solve the remnants of the previous dynasty.

As long as the Yu Dynasty is strong enough and needs all kinds of talents, with thousands of years of foundation, the aristocratic family is absolutely confident that it can surpass the students of the imperial examination.

Half a year ago, King Ming's patience was completely exhausted. In addition to urging, the secret letter also included evidence of collusion between the aristocratic family and the remnants of the previous dynasty. The threat was self-evident.

The aristocratic family didn't dare to take risks, so they could only use practical actions to perfuse King Ming.

First of all, the option of assassinating Emperor Changping was ruled out.

If assassination is useful, how could Emperor Yanguang live until Yanguang's 21st year before dying?

Then, rule out stumbling Emperor Changping in government affairs.

There are Jiang's family far away, and officials from Shannan Dongdao and Jiangnan officialdom are nearby.It can be seen that in the eyes of Emperor Changping, there is no room for sand in political affairs.

In this way, only the sons and daughters that Emperor Changping cares about the most are left.

If he wanted to meet King Ming's request, make Emperor Changping inattentive about government affairs, and cause the Yu Dynasty to be in turmoil, the best person to attack is undoubtedly Ji Jingyu.

He is not only the eldest son, but also the only son that Emperor Changping can use within 15 years.

But the aristocratic family was just forced to do nothing by the remnants of the previous dynasty and had to deal with the other party.

They were willing to perfunctory the remnants of the previous dynasty in order to survive, how could they take the risk of angering Emperor Changping in order to perfunctory each other?

Therefore, the family looked over Ji Jingyu, hesitated for a while on Ji Minyan, Ji Jingrou, Ji Mingtong, Ji Xinxue, Ji Baoshan and the three new heirs born in the palace, and firmly locked on Ji Mingtong.

Because of the Kang Pavilion, the aristocratic family calculated that Ji Mingtong's cost would be the least, and at most he would pay for a dispensable Kang Pavilion.The risk is the least, and the daughter's emotional injury may also cause Emperor Changping to be devastated.

The time was too short, and the family didn't have time to plan carefully, nor did they have the will to succeed, so they set up a love affair.

First spread the news that 'Kange raised the former maid as a concubine without telling Ji Mingtong and allowed her to become pregnant', and let it spread more and more widely.

Wait for Ji Mingtong to vent his anger on the innocent Kang Ge or the outer room, and then tell Ji Mingtong that it is not Kang Ge's outer room, but Kang Ge's cousin's outer room.

If Ji Mingtong felt guilty because of this, and his feelings for Kang Ge deepened, Kang Ge would have the opportunity to go one step further and seek the position of son-in-law.

Success is earned by blood, just to appease the remnants of the previous dynasty in the name of the son-in-law.

Even after Ji Mingtong became "indiscriminately angry", he knew the "truth" and remained indifferent.The aristocratic family can also confidently tell the remnants of the previous dynasty that they are trying to influence Emperor Changping and make efforts for it.

Although the development of things has deviated from the original plan.

When Ji Mingtong heard the rumors, he neither went to the outer room on impulse nor questioned Kang Ge, but began to avoid Kang Ge.Kang Ge took many people to surround Ji Mingtong, but failed to bring Ji Mingtong to the outer room of Qinghe Hutong.

But Grand Master Cui felt that they had perfectly achieved their goal.

The harder Emperor Changping punished those who caused Ji Mingtong's injury, the easier it would be for the aristocratic family to find excuses and perfunctory the remnants of the previous dynasty.

In order to complete the task of the remnants of the previous dynasty, the only remaining five families except the Yu family took twelve direct descendants.Even the harshest person can't say that the aristocratic family has no intentions in this matter.

However, the so-called twelve descendants of aristocratic families are just the people with the worst background and qualifications in the direct descendants.

What the family expects of them is to marry someone with the right status at the right age and give birth to children as soon as possible to grow the family.If they can give birth to talented children, it is considered their contribution to the family.

Even if everyone is imprisoned in the clan's prison for a few years, it will only slightly affect their original tasks and cause them to shift down the range of relatives they can choose.

This loss is nothing compared to the income that the family can take a breather in the face of the aggressive remnants of the previous dynasty.

Taishi Cui knew what the British prince was anxious about.

At first their plan was to let people from various families intersect with Kang Ge one after another, to build up momentum for Kang Ge, in case of emergencies.

At that time, he did not agree with Qi Yanhe's participation in this matter.

After all, Emperor Changping's precious daughter is involved, who knows what accidents will happen halfway?

If the Qi family doesn't want to have the grandson of the eldest family, it is not impossible to use the grandson of the concubine, as long as the other families are given appropriate compensation.

However, the British government insists on going its own way for its own selfishness.

Deserve it.

The Duke of England trembled violently when he heard the taunt from Taishi Cui's words.

He and Cui Taishi have known each other since they were young, and they have never dealt with each other since they were young.After each shouldered the burden of the family, it was because the aristocratic families were connected with each other, and the Qi family and the Cui family were the only two remaining families that were still in court, and they had to shoulder the responsibility of being the leaders of the aristocratic families, so they gradually eased their relationship with each other. tension with each other.

For the first ten years or so, he relied on the titles earned by his ancestors to firmly suppress Grand Master Cui.

Since the Yanguang Dynasty, Cui Taishi's daughter entered the palace and was named a good concubine, and the relationship between them gradually changed from him as the master and Cui Taishi as the deputy to Cui Taishi as the master and him as the deputy.

Even though Emperor Yanguang died and Emperor Changping ascended the throne, the relationship between them could not be reversed.

If he hadn't misheard Taishi Cui's slander and took half a step wrong, he wanted to control Yu Heng by boiling the eagle, but before he succeeded, he made the young eagle fly away by mistake.How can there be today who has to dormant?

The British Duke barely held back his anger, thinking that his attitude had fallen to dust, "Brother Cui, Yanhe has a special status, Mrs. Zheng has been crying for a few rounds, if she sends a secret letter to that side and makes the other side dissatisfied, we... ..."

Taishi Cui interrupted Duke Ying with a sneer, "What does this matter have to do with me?"

"Isn't it because you saw that His Majesty rejected your memorial to ask the eldest son to be crowned heir again several times, and was afraid that His Majesty would assign the title of the British Duke to your worthless second son because of Yu Heng. Because you don't want the British Duke There is even the slightest risk of the title of the mansion being related to that side, so Qi Yanhe was deliberately pushed into this matter. I want Qi Yanhe to leave a bad impression in front of His Majesty."

"Isn't it just what you want now?" Grand Master Cui spoke faster and faster, "Qi Yanhe was imprisoned in the clan's prison because of accidentally injuring Princess Jinming. Your second son has hurt his vitals again, and he can no longer use it. The woman is pregnant. Even if His Majesty personally assigns the title of the Duke of England to your second son, you still have reason to adopt the eldest son to inherit the title."

"How could it be so simple?!" The British Duke couldn't bear it and said in a low voice.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Grand Master Cui, with hatred in his eyes.It was as if he was looking through Taishi Cui's face at the remnants of the previous regime that was about to drive him to nowhere.

"Zheng's is different from the Lin's in your house. She is the younger sister of the current King Ming's mother and compatriots. She has my father and my correspondence with King Ming."

The Duke of England really didn't want any possibility of his family's title being stained with the remnants of the previous dynasty, but he didn't dare to make Mrs. Zheng go crazy.

Ever since Qi Yanhe was imprisoned, Mrs. Zheng, who values ​​her son more than her life, has become more and more irritable day by day.

If Qi Yanhe can't be fished out as soon as possible, he is really afraid of Mrs. Zheng...

When Qi Yanhe was involved in this matter, Duke Ying just wanted Qi Yanhe to show a bad face in front of Emperor Changping.

He also specifically asked Qi Yanhe not to talk to Princess Jin Ming, and not to approach Princess Jin Ming.The British public thought that even if things got serious and Emperor Changping wanted to punish people, people from the Kang family would take most of the blame, and Qi Yanhe would at most be punished or grounded.

Who would have thought that Princess Anwu would arrest people directly!

Master Cui's already ugly face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot when he heard the words of Duke Ying, and he suddenly threw the teacup that he had been playing with for a long time to the ground.

There is no hereditary title in his family, let alone the distress that no one can inherit the title, and he cannot empathize with the pain of the Duke of England.

King Ming handed over evidence that could kill the entire Qi family, not only the Qi family, to someone who couldn't even maintain emotional stability. This was the fundamental reason why Grand Master Cui could no longer hold back his anger.

The Zheng family of the British government had correspondence between two British princes and the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Lin's fifth daughter-in-law in the Grand Master's Mansion, does he have anything similar in his hands?

Even though there were three braziers in the study, Grand Master Cui still felt the cold wind blowing into his bones.

Duke Ying and Grand Master Cui looked solemn, and when they looked at each other speechlessly, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng had already had dinner, and they were going to formally interrogate the sons of the aristocratic family on the auspicious day of the Xiaochaohui.

As soon as she stepped into the prison, Ji Xinxue noticed that the mental state of the aristocratic children was particularly sluggish.

Whether it was the Kang girl and Qi Yanhe who lived in the single room, or the other ten people who could only sleep in the Datong bunk, they were all drowsy with their eyelids drooping, and they managed to gather their remaining energy to be vigilant against Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

"Brother?" Qi Yanhe suddenly fell from the simple thatched bed to the ground.

He rushed to the railing and asked expectantly, "Is there a small court meeting today? Did your majesty say when he will let us go back home!"

Although Yu Heng left without warning yesterday with a cold face, Qi Yanhe soon had a separate room with clean bedding and toiletries.

Instead of realizing that Yu Heng hated him, he was even more convinced that Yu Heng really took care of him because he regarded him as his elder brother.

Therefore, Qi Yanhe took it for granted that the order to arrest him in the clan's residence had nothing to do with Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue, it was an order issued by Emperor Changping himself.

When the rest of the family heard Qi Yanhe's words, their eyes suddenly shone brightly.

Because of the various preferential treatment Qi Yanhe received, while they were jealous and envious of Qi Yanhe, they also unknowingly believed in the thoughts expressed by Qi Yanhe.

Ji Xinxue showed apology, and explained to Qi Yanhe seriously, "The Xiaochaohui has long been dispersed, and there is no order or oral order from His Majesty to the clan's residence."

After speaking, he kindly told the children of the aristocratic family about the "Ma Shen Contest" that took place in Fengxiang Palace, and it was all to relieve their boredom.

Qi Yanhe gripped the cell railing more and more vigorously, but the color in his eyes gradually disappeared.

After a long time, he yelled as if he suddenly discovered that there was the last straw, "Grandfather didn't enter the palace today?"

Grandfather would never leave him alone!

With grandfather's status as a veteran of the three dynasties, as long as grandfather is willing to speak, His Majesty will definitely pay attention to it!

He has never been close to Princess Jin Ming from the beginning to the end, and it is even more impossible to accidentally injure Princess Jin Ming!

As long as His Majesty is willing to investigate this matter carefully, he will be able to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

Ji Xinxue's heart moved slightly, pretending not to notice Qi Yanhe's careful thought when he asked this question.

He temporarily made up a short story about the British public angrily fighting for the "Ma Shen" and failing, leaving the palace dejectedly.

In this story, Qi Yanhe did not appear from the beginning to the end.

Seeing the last light in Qi Yanhe's eyes gradually extinguished, Ji Xinxue was very satisfied, turned her head and sighed with Yu Heng, "I didn't expect the British Fair Day to be so majestic and so good at having fun."

Yu Heng responded to Ji Xinxue's words without hesitation, "When mahjong first flourished, my grandfather set up the first mahjong club in Chang'an in his own name. Many nobles are members of the club, and the vice president seems to be Marquis Runan."

Surprise appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes.

Really?

He just made up a random story, hoping to see Qi Yanhe disappointed.

Not only was Qi Yanhe so shocked by Ji Xinxue's words that he could no longer lift his spirits, he slid to the ground against the cell railing like a salted fish who had lost his dream.

The rest of the people who were tortured all night by the hairy-legged spider and the soprano also lost their last strength, and either leaned decadently against the dirt wall or sat directly on the ground.

Even the British princes are focused on "Ma Shen Zheng Hegemony", and Qi Yanhe is not thought of, and they will not be missed.

"Princess, did Taishi Cui plead with His Majesty for Qingsong?" Zheng's husband looked at Ji Xinxue expectantly.

Cui Qingsong snorted coldly, raised his foot and lightly kicked Mr. Zheng's neck.The strength is not great, but the humiliation is extremely strong.Mr. Zheng's lord lowered his head in embarrassment, and silently shrank towards the corner of the wall.

Ji Xinxue threw away most of the short stories that had been made up in her mind, shook her head and said, "Since Mr. Cui Lang doesn't want to know about this and is afraid of being sad, I won't say it."

After the daily shaming was over, Ji Xinxue didn't give Cui Qingsong any chance to speak, she immediately looked away, and ordered two people to be interrogated.

He and Yu Heng each interrogated one of them, which happened to be done at the same time.

Ji Xinxue just showed her dislike for Qi Yanhe to the person being interrogated, implying that the person being interrogated, as long as the person being interrogated can speak ill of Qi Yanhe, he will reward the other party with a braised pig's trotter, and promise not to let others know this matter.

Yu Heng was in charge of asking serious questions, about why the sons and daughters of the aristocratic family met Kang Ge, what was the purpose of taking Ji Mingtong to Qinghe Hutong, about the outer room living in Qinghe Hutong and Kang Ge's elder brother...

Half an hour later, the person who was first interrogated hadn't returned to the prison, and the jailer took away two more sons of aristocratic families.

……

After two full hours, the two people who were interrogated in the first wave returned to their cells.

One of them exuded the smell of stewed meat, and the other changed into clean and tidy clothes, and immediately changed from a beggar on the street to a noble son of an aristocratic family.

In the first interrogation, Ji Xinxue still adhered to the principle of fairness.

There are twelve people in total, and everyone has a share, and can get a reward for eating meat or taking a bath and changing clothes.

The next day, the twelfth day of the first month.

It is rare for Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng to get up when the cock crows.

As soon as they stepped into the prison, they felt the resentful and beseeching eyes of the family members.

Several big spiders with hairy legs the size of a palm appeared in the cells yesterday, and none of the three cells next to each other were spared.

For an aristocratic family with ten people living in Datongpu, if every two people killed one hairy-legged spider, the world would be peaceful.Many of them have practiced martial arts since childhood, and it only takes one person to deal with five hairy-legged spiders in one go.

However, the world next door is not peaceful...

Miss Kang and Qi Yanhe yelled all night.

The power of the coed treble is so powerful that they dare not even close their eyelids.I'm afraid that something will go wrong when I'm half asleep and half awake, not knowing what day and night it will be.

"Princess, I am willing to say anything, let me sleep for three, no, just let me sleep for an hour!" Lang Jun, who was wearing a green 'rag', said in a daze.

If he continued like this, he would go crazy before the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Ji Xinxue nodded, and said to the jailer beside him, "Interrogate him first."

When the man in green heard the words, Chaos' eyes immediately recovered, and he rushed out of the cell impatiently.

The family members have not been able to fall asleep for nearly two days and one night.

They stared blankly at Ji Xinxue's receding back, and it took a while to realize that the gentleman in green took the initiative to fight for an hour's sleep, and looked at Yu Heng with tears in his eyes.

"Brother! Interrogate me first!"

"Your Majesty, I have many treasures, and I honor them all for you!"

"I know that Princess Xianglin was bullied by Mrs. Zheng when she first married into the British government."
