Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was almost scattered, Wen Miao seized the opportunity to step forward to help Cheng Jingjing and asked quietly: "Tell me honestly, does the assassin have anything to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Hearing Cheng Jingjing's answer, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are many rights and wrongs in this palace, so you can go back to the house with the prince after today." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"But ......" Cheng Jingjing glanced at Yuexi and Huapan, who were depressed, and couldn't bear to throw the two of them in the palace, gritted her teeth and said, "I must stay in the palace and wait for this case to end before I can go home." Although Jinghua's assassination has nothing to do with me, after all, I brought him into the palace, so I can't just leave like this. And—"

"Yo, what are the two masters and servants discussing?"

Long Yu'er on the side interrupted the conversation between the two, and Cheng Jingjing saw her looking at herself resentfully, so she gently pushed Wen Miao away: "Mrs. Wen, go back to the house with the prince, the slave will take care of herself in the palace." ”

Wen Miao told her a few words worriedly, and then left with Prince An and his party.

After Cheng Jingjing returned to Luan En Palace, she said to the two sisters who had been silent behind her: "What is going on today, you tell me the truth, Jinghua may come back alive." ”

He knelt on the ground with a thud, choked up and said, "Thank you Aunt Qingfeng for saving your life, what the eldest brother said in the Lotus Pavilion today is not half a lie, and more than a hundred lives of our Ling family were indeed harmed by Long Qiushui!"

"You entered the palace through me, just to do the thorny dragon autumn water?" Cheng Jingjing asked in a deep voice.

"The three of us brother and sister did not mean to deceive my aunt, please punish my aunt. The painter kowtowed on the ground guiltily.

Cheng Jingjing was the most unsaved, so she pulled her up angrily and said, "The most important thing now is to tell the truth to Changshangshu of the Criminal Department, otherwise I won't be able to help you if you kowtow! You said that Long Qiushui killed your Ling clan, is there any evidence?"

"A year ago, Long Qiushui led a team of people to wash our Ling family with blood, but fortunately, God has eyes and let the three of us survive, this is the brand we picked up under a tree in the yard. ”

The painting handed out the sign, Cheng Jingjing took it and looked at it carefully, it was a token of the Ministry of War, and the words Long Qiushui were engraved on it.

"Ask my aunt to help us," Yue Xi, who was usually arrogant, also knelt on the ground, and said anxiously: "This time the eldest brother failed to take Long Qiushui's dog's life, he will definitely be more auspicious, I am afraid that if the revenge is not avenged, he will die in prison!"

"I'm just a little palace maid, even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't save your eldest brother," Cheng Jingjing thought about it and said: "This matter has to wait for the noble concubine Niangniang to come back before you can make a decision, but it is not a trivial matter to assassinate the court officials, you must be mentally prepared." ”

"Thank you, Auntie. ”

Yue Xi and the two of them kowtowed gratefully.

After Concubine Xiao returned to the palace in the evening, Cheng Jingjing told her everything about it, but Xiao Jinyuan was embarrassed and said: "I didn't want you to get involved in this matter, it's better for you, and I want to plead with Your Majesty." This time, the Empress was also watching me with fierce eyes, waiting to catch my handle! During the day in the Imperial Garden, she repeatedly hinted that the Emperor's assassin had something to do with me. ”

"It seems that I can't ask you for help, but the three of them were brought into the palace by me, and I really can't bear to see them die in the hands of Long Qiushui. ”

Looking at Cheng Jingjing's sad face, Xiao Jinyuan comforted her: "I can't help you, but there is one more person who can help you." Have you forgotten Lord An?"

"He?" Cheng Jingjing was stunned for a moment.

"Prince An's man is resourceful, if he hadn't helped you today, the emperor wouldn't have let you go so easily. Xiao Jinyuan said firmly: "You rush back to King An's Mansion overnight now, and ask him for help with Sister Wen, maybe he will help you find out the evidence of the tragic death of the Ling family back then." ”

"How can such a big figure as Prince An help me this little maid......"

Cheng Jingjing whispered weakly, she still remembered what happened before entering the palace, I'm afraid Yang An still holds a grudge against her.

"Now it seems that only he can help you! Otherwise, you can only watch Jinghua die in the dungeon!"

After listening to Xiao Jinyuan's words, Cheng Jingjing had no choice but to ask Yang An for help, she put on a cloak and took the order to leave the palace, and rode out of the palace alone overnight.

When Cheng Jingjing returned to King An's mansion, she saw that Yang An's study was still lit. Without her master's permission, she hurriedly pushed the door in.

"Lord Wang, please save Jinghua!"

Yang An was taken aback by this reckless maid, put down the brush in his hand and asked, "Why does this king want to help an irrelevant person? Besides, isn't there a criminal department Chang Lord trying this case?"

"Lord Chang is fair and honest, but I'm afraid he can't match the threat of the Long family...... Cheng Jingjing stubbornly said: "The slave begs the prince to take action to save Jinghua's life, at least not let him die before the truth is revealed!"

"The truth, what truth do you know?" Yang An asked, looking at her.

Cheng Jingjing put the token in her arms on the desk and said, "Lord Wang, please see, this is left at the scene of the Ling family's tragic extermination, and the three words Long Qiushui are clearly written on it!"

Yang An glanced at the token a few times, but said: "Just hand over this evidence to the Criminal Department, why did this king meddle in this troubled water, what does it have to do with me?"

Cheng Jingjing suddenly felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured on her, and her whole person was disheartened, she had long expected that Yang An would not be nosy and reach out to help these unknown juniors.

"The prince's generation of heroes, did he watch more than a hundred lives die unjustly?"

Before leaving, Cheng Jingjing angrily threw down this sentence and opened the door and left in disappointment. The reason why she came to beg Yang An alone was because she didn't want to pull Wen Miao into this quagmire, but she didn't expect to overestimate her ability and was ruthlessly rejected by Yang An.

When Cheng Jingjing walked out of the courtyard, Yang An summoned Lone Ying out.

"You have to find a way to put this token in the hands of Master Zhuang so that he doesn't find out who gave it. ”

Yang An threw the sign just now to Lone Shadow, and Lone Shadow asked suspiciously: "Master, shouldn't it be handed over to the Criminal Department Shangshu for trial?"

"Lord Chang can't compete with the power of the Long family," Yang An said, "Now the only one who can compete with the Long family is Taishi Zhuang." If you hand over this brand to Master Zhuang, he will naturally tell the emperor that it depends on the emperor's intentions whether to leave Long Qiushui's life or not. ”

"What the prince said is that his subordinates will do it immediately. ”

Lone Ying suddenly understood, and when he wanted to turn around and leave, he remembered something again, and asked carefully: "Since the prince intends to help, why did he refuse Miss Jingjing just now, and his subordinates were very sad when they saw her leave." ”

Yang An said casually: "It's just that I have nothing to do to tease the little girl." ”
