If you love, you will be petted, and if you hate it, you will be abandoned. When Du Ning'er was favored by Qin Shu, he naturally didn't care so much and spoiled her wholeheartedly, but now that Du Ning'er has lost her favor and caused trouble, Qin Shu's suspicion and disgust are inevitable.

The sudden sword was pointed directly at the throat, Du Ning'er raised her neck, her whole body was stiff and trembling, and her eyes were full of tears and looked straight at Qin Shu. Qin Shu asked word by word, "Who are you?" Why do you want to assassinate orphans? ”

"Your Highness......"

The voice cut off, and the tip of the sword advanced another centimeter, and the pressure of dying slammed down on her. She's done, she's finished! Once a person is suspicious, he will not be taken lightly, and Qin Shu will no longer believe her words. 'Bar' tears dripped on the surface of the sword, and grievances and desire to survive were all poured out in it.

Her tears did not arouse Qin Shu's pity, but made him feel embarrassed, and the disgust in his heart was even more serious. At the beginning, he fell in love with Du Ning'er at first sight, and even if she had lost her virginity, he resolutely brought it back to the prince's mansion. After returning to the prince's mansion, he was even more fond of her, and never investigated her past. Now that I think about it, I have even more doubts in my heart.

Qin Shu put away the sword and instructed the guards: "Drag it down and torture it." ”

Du Ning'er's eyes widened suddenly, looking at him in disbelief, and the dagger in his hand was held a little tighter. If the matter is revealed, she will consciously commit suicide, but now that this matter has nothing to do with her but she died because of it, how can she be willing? What's more, once she committed suicide, she confirmed her identity as a spy in disguise.

Beads of tears fell, she had a secret, but once tortured, not dying was a leak. What should she do? A moment of grief was exchanged for a ruin. She resolutely knelt down, no longer begging Qin Shu, but turned in a different direction.

'Bang bang' kowtowed, her white forehead immediately turned red, and she crawled over begging, "Sister Liu, it was my fault in the past, I hope you will intercede for me a lot." This matter really has nothing to do with me! ”

Du Ning'er humbly crawled at the feet of Liu Xi, her voice was bloody, this was her only hope. No one there believed her, no one had a relationship with her, and the only thing they could do was to beg the woman she once hated.

Su Qi pursed her lips and looked at this scene, Du Ning'er was humble and pathetic, and there were endless faults and mistakes. She almost starved to death on the street back then, but she was lucky to meet Su Huiniang. Back then, she also begged as she does now, but she changed her object and changed from Liu Xi to Su Huiniang.

Su Huiniang saved her with a good heart for a while, but she planted evil consequences for herself. It was obviously Du Ning'er who begged for salvation, but she blamed Su Huiniang for pulling her into the wolf's den. You must know that Su Huiniang herself is just a dancing girl, and the best situation she can Xu Du Ning'er is to bring her into the song and dance workshop.

Asking people to do things often does not necessarily achieve their wishes, not because they don't do it, but because their ability is limited. Du Ning'er may understand, but she still can't help but resent. Compared with her mother's torture, she didn't dare to complain in the slightest. It wasn't until she had Qin Shu as a big backer that she dared to kill her mother. In the final analysis, it's just a soft egg who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard.

Liu Xi hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her, "Sister, don't say that, since ancient times, women are not allowed to interfere in politics." I'm just a concubine, how dare I speak for my sister. His Royal Highness is wise and martial, if my sister really has nothing to do with this matter, I will give my sister justice. Sister, don't worry, just cooperate by yourself. ”

Open your eyes and talk nonsense, that's about it. Qin Shu had already given the order to torture, and she also persuaded Du Ning'er to cooperate, but this intention can only be called sinister. Qin Shu was annoyed, and she didn't hear the needle hidden in the cotton for a while, but she only felt that Liu Xi's words were very reasonable. It is true that he will not wronged a good person, nor will he let a bad person go.

Qin Shu didn't understand, but Du Ning'er did. She collapsed to the ground, her eyes empty, and the last shred of hope crumbled. No one will help her, and the rest of the way out is either death or ...... She shook her head violently, she wouldn't betray the hero, no! She gripped the dagger in her hand and stabbed herself in the chest......

With a "poof", the dagger in his hand quickly fell. She looked over blankly, only to see Su Qi straighten her sleeves, and arched her hand to Qin Shu: "Your Highness, I think this matter should be investigated carefully and then draw conclusions." If an innocent life is harmed in this way, the gain outweighs the loss. ”

Qin Shu's heart tightened, Su Qi not only saved Du Ning'er with this move, but also helped her intercede. How could he not think about it? Su Qi and Du Ning'er looked like they had no friendship on their faces, but obviously he took Du Ning'er seriously in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have acted like this. After all, Du Ning'er once had a lifelong friendship with Su Huiniang, and Su Huiniang also has a special meaning for Su Qi.

Undoubtedly, he underestimated the weight of Su Huiniang in Su Qi's heart. If he weighed it well beforehand, why would it be difficult to ride a tiger now? His order had already been given, and if he took back his order because of Su Qi's advice, he would be too embarrassed. But if he refused, it seemed to hurt Su Qi's face again.

The dilemma and the awkward atmosphere all emerged, Qin Shu pursed her lips, and she didn't know how to speak for a while. Fortunately, after a moment of silence, a little eunuch broke this qiē. He hurriedly rushed into the banquet and hurriedly kowtowed to report: "Your Highness, a miscellaneous man in the kitchen committed suicide by taking poison, and the poison he took was exactly the same as that of all the adults. ”

Du Ning'er's dead gaze lit up in an instant, and she looked at Qin Shu expectantly. Sure enough, Qin Shu's face changed, and he let it go: "Commit suicide at this moment, this person must be the culprit of poisoning." Thanks to General Su's foresight, otherwise he would have been afraid of accidentally injuring a life. ”

Su Qi waved his hand and smiled, wanting to say a few polite words. Unexpectedly, he was unceremoniously intercepted by Qin Shu: "Although the culprit is dead, this matter is very serious." Lone wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, and asks General Su and all the adults to leave the house first. When the matter is clear, Lone will come to the door to apologize. ”

Su Qi glanced at Du Ning'er, who was paralyzed on the ground, and then showed Liu Xi a look and waved his robe away, and the ministers also said goodbye one after another. After a while, only the people of the Prince's Mansion remained in the huge palace. Qin Shu no longer concealed her feelings, she slapped Du Ning'er in the face with her open hand, and scolded angrily: "Slut, say! Who instructed you to assassinate orphans? ”

This slap Qin Shu exerted great force, and Du Ning'er's cheeks immediately swollen, and the corners of her mouth were oozing blood. She looked at Qin Shu blankly, crawled at his feet and cried, "Your Highness, this matter really has nothing to do with me. The culprit is dead! ”

Asymmetrical cheeks, unruly crawling at your feet, shrew-like crying...... This qiē made Qin Shu's dislike for Du Ning'er even more, she was no longer a peerless beauty, and her down-and-out appearance was not even as good as a beggar. Qin Shu frowned in disgust, kicked Du Ning'er away, waved his sleeves and turned around without saying much.

What culprit is dead, it is just a sentence he said to Su Qi. Such a coincidental death, if no one had carefully planned it, he would not have believed it. The origin of this prince in the prince's mansion is clear, but this Du Ning'er is from a suspicious source, how could he let go of his suspicions about Du Ning'er?

Thinking about Su Qi, he couldn't torture Du Ning'er openly, but he could. He waved his hand, and was just about to ask someone to take Du Ning'er down, but was stopped by Liu Xiqian's charming.

Liu Xi held the back of his hand and gently grinded it, "Your Highness, General Su loves the country and the people, is wise and martial, thinking that since he thinks that his sister is not a murderer, then his sister may really have nothing to do with this matter." Your Highness, don't embarrass your sister for this matter, you have promised not to break your promise in front of General Su. If you don't like your sister, just kick her out of the house. ”

Although Liu Xi's sentences were soft, they cut straight into Qin Shu's heart, causing him to think deeply. Su Qi can intercede for Du Ning'er in front of everyone, I'm afraid Su Huiniang is one aspect, and Du Ning'er is not the real murderer is the main reason. Su Qi is not a brainless person, on the contrary, he is a far-sighted and victorious general. He would be so rash to intercede for others, there is only one answer.

In addition, Du Ning'er almost killed him, but he didn't doubt it himself, but compared to Qin Shu's suspicions, it lacked credibility. Qin Shu frowned and pondered, but even if this matter had nothing to do with Du Ning'er, he would not let Du Ning'er continue to stay by his side, her origin was always too suspicious.

Qin Shu rolled her eyes and waved her hand without hesitation: "Drive Du Ning'er out of the prince's mansion, and never allow you to step into it." ”

Du Ning'er's face was full of tears, and she stared blankly at Qin Shu's distant figure. Her gaze was hollow again, like a body that had lost its soul. She did survive, but lost all meaning. Years of hard work were all in vain, and driving out of the prince's mansion was undoubtedly a more cruel result than death.

Liu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and deliberately bent down and whispered in her ear: "Don't thank me, I just saved your life casually." Don't die, someone is still waiting for you to help him. ”

Du Ning'er suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at her, her dead eyes revealed a deep chill, but there was more disbelief in her heart. How does she know? When did she find out? She has little contact with Brother Hero, and is careful every time she sends money. How the hell did she find out?

She couldn't ask, and she never got an answer. She was dragged out of the prince's mansion by the guards, and the only thing she could do was to leave her eyes on Liu Xi. Seeing Liu Xi's smug smile and contemptuous expression, she closed her eyes as she wished. She knew that Liu Xi would not tell Qin Shu about this, and that would be enough.

She found the real culprit, and at the same time lost completely. She was thrown on the road, and the bustling crowd looked at her with all curiosity. She lowered her head and clenched her fists, as Liu Xi said, she really couldn't die. If she dies, what will happen to Brother Hero's unfinished business? Brother Hero needs her help, even if she can't continue to stay in the Prince's Mansion to find out the news, she can help financially.

It was the only thing she could do, and she had to take it well. She straightened out her folded skirt and resolutely walked towards the green building.
