There was a light in the room.

Princess Jiang He's face turned pale, she grabbed Ah Tao's arm with trembling hands, and in Ah Tao's worried eyes, she said with horror in her eyes: "There are really people in the dormitory." ”

Ah Tao looked at Princess Jiang He with a frown, she was facing Princess Jiang He and her back to the huge dormitory.

Without waiting for her to speak, Princess Jiang He raised her head tremblingly and looked behind Ah Tao.

Tao followed her gaze.

"Ah......" She hadn't seen anything clearly, only heard Princess Jiang He screaming.

"Princess. She looked up at Princess Jiang He, only to see Princess Jiang He's hands trembling and pointing behind her, and said incoherently, "What do you think is that?"

Princess Jiang He was already scared silly.

Ah Tao turned his head to look behind him, and saw a puddle of water on the ground not far away.

She was also surprised.

"It's Ji Yue, it must be Ji Yue who came to me. Princess Jiang He's eyes were round, she stared at the puddle of water on the ground, the whole person trembled, she grabbed Ah Tao's arm tightly, and Ah Tao's arm hurt.

"People die like lights go out, princess don't scare herself, maybe it's a shadow, slave go and see." Ah Tao gently pushed Princess Jiang He's hand away.

In the frightened eyes of Princess Jiang He, she walked towards the puddle of water step by step.

Princess Jiang He also hoped that it was just a shadow.

Ah Tao leaned down and saw that there was indeed a puddle of water on the ground, and she was also shocked at the moment.

There are many masters in the palace, and there are many shadow guards around the princess's bedroom, and she is not a weak woman who is powerless, why hasn't she heard a little movement in the palace.

She got up and looked around the dormitory, but found nothing.

"It's Ji Yue who came to me, it must be Ji Yue who came to me......" Princess Jiang He was already a little delirious with fright, she kept muttering this sentence in her mouth, she panicked and covered herself with the brocade quilt, only revealing a pair of eyes and hiding in the innermost part of the bed trembling outside.

"Princess!" Ah Tao strode towards her, she looked at Princess Jiang He with a panicked expression and said, "Princess, don't talk nonsense! If these words are heard by others, how will others speculate?"

"Ah Tao, I'm afraid ......" Princess Jiang He looked intently at the puddle of water on the ground, and she kept replaying the drowning appearance of Ji Yue in her mind, which lingered no matter what.

She seemed to see Ji Yue walking towards her covered in water.

"Princess, that's just your delusion, there's nothing on the ground, don't believe it. Ah Tao's voice softly comforted Princess Jiang He, she glanced at the puddle of water on the ground, and gently waved her sleeves.

When Princess Jiang He looked up, there was nothing left on the ground.

Ah Tao's voice came to her ear at the right time: "The princess is in a daze, and she will hallucinate, the slave is here to guard the princess, the princess will sleep for a while!"

"Is it really just that I'm sleeping?" Princess Jiang He looked at Ah Tao with a somewhat confused expression.

"Hmm!" Ah Tao said conclusively.

"Oh!" Princess Jiang He replied in shock.

Tao helped her lie down, and she stretched out a hand and grabbed Tao Tao's sleeve tightly.

"Princess, close your eyes and sleep, or tomorrow you will have dark circles under your eyes, and then you won't be beautiful." Ah Tao's voice was exceptionally soft.

Princess Jiang He slowly closed her eyes.

Ah Tao didn't dare to take it lightly anymore, she paid attention to the movements around her with all her attention.

Time passes slowly with the hourglass.

The night seemed extraordinarily long.

Ah Tao turned her head to look out, but it was still dark outside.

As soon as Princess Jiang He closed her eyes, the feeling hit her heart again, and she opened her eyes again before she could fall asleep.

Ah Tao looked at her and frowned: "Princess, why did you open your eyes again?"

"Ah Tao, as soon as I close my eyes, I feel that a pair of eyes are staring at me, as if they want to tear me apart. Princess Jiang He looked at Ah Tao in shock, and her whole body kept trembling.

"Sleep princess! There is no one in the dormitory except you and your slaves. Ah Tao patiently comforted Princess Jiang He.

"No, Tao, there really is someone. Princess Jiang He looked at Ah Tao with tears in her eyes.

Ah Tao got up slowly, she put down the curtains around the bed, and said in a high voice: "Someone!"

"What does the princess command?" the guards outside strode in in an instant.

Princess Jiang He did not speak.

Ah Tao stood in the tent, and she said slowly: "There is a cat in the dormitory, and the princess can't sleep well, so you can find out the cat." ”

"Yes. More than a dozen guards arched their hands.

Princess Jiang He held Ah Tao's hand tightly.

Ah Tao looked at her and said, "When they have searched the princess, they will believe the slave's words." ”

Princess Jiang He looked at Ah Tao and nodded slightly.

But in a moment, those guards searched the dormitory, and Xiao Ye, the leader of the guards, arched his hand and said: "Princess Qiqi's subordinates have led people to search the dormitory carefully, and no cats have been found in the dormitory. ”

Without cats, it is even more impossible to have people.

"Stand down!" Princess Jiang He said weakly.

"Yes. The guards turned and retreated, not forgetting to close the door to the dormitory.

Ah Tao looked at Princess Jiang He and smiled: "Look, princess, there is nothing in the dormitory, you can sleep in peace!"

Princess Jiang He still had palpitations, she frowned and looked at the curtains around her and said, "Ah Tao, you put the tents away, I feel a little bored." ”

"Yes. Tao turned around and went to collect the curtain.

"Ah......" At that moment, Princess Jiang He suddenly screamed.

She was startled, and Ah Tao was really startled.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Tao turned to look at her.

Princess Jiang Ce pointed behind her tremblingly, her eyes were so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

Tao turned her head to look back.

Behind her, there was a row of wet footprints silently, as if something was walking towards Princess Jiang He's bed.

"Ah......h

"It's Ji Yue, it must be Ji Yue who came to me to ask for his life. Princess Jiang He said with straight eyes.

With that, she fell backwards with a straight body.

"Someone! Ah Tao stepped forward a few steps forward to support Princess Jiang He's soft body.

The calm night was soon shattered.

Gao Yin's carriage was still parked in that alley.

He never said a word.

Jiang Feng didn't dare to speak rashly.

The incense in the smoker is running out, and the tea in the teapot is already bottoming out.

Gao Yin had no intention of going back.

The sky was dark and terrible, and the drizzle had no intention of stopping.

There is no daylight in the prison.

Ji Wei's eyes were unusually bright, and she sat motionless on the futon.

The flickering candle flame stretched her figure long.

Suddenly, the candle flame went out.

The corners of her mouth hooked, and she looked up at the cell door.

The next moment, Lu Li walked in silently.

In the dark, people's sense of smell and hearing will be extraordinarily sensitive, and Ji Yu has already smelled familiar smells.

Although she couldn't see him, she smiled: "Brother, you're back." ”

"Hmm. Lu Li's voice was extremely low.

"Give. Lu Li took out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Ji Yan.

Ji Yu stretched out her hand to take it, and she slowly opened the oil paper bag, and the fragrance was overflowing.

What Lu Li gave her was a fragrant braised chicken thigh.

This is what he brought from the imperial dining room with a sheep.

Ji Yu was not hungry, she handed it to Lu Li with her backhand and said, "Brother, I'm not hungry, you can eat!"

"Save it for tomorrow. Lu Li didn't answer.

Without waiting for Ji Yu to ask, Lu Li lowered his voice and said, "The matter has been done." ”

"Hmm. Ji Yu's eyes narrowed.

She took out the letter she had written from her sleeve and stretched out her hand to hand it to Lu Li.

After Lu Li took it, she stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words in Lu Li's ear.

The sky has turned white.

Lu Li only stayed for a moment and then left again.

All the courtiers were already on their way to the early dynasty.

It wasn't until dawn that Gao Yin left.

Who knew that he was as valuable as he was to stay here all night.

The rain had stopped and the sky was foggy.

Compared with yesterday, everyone in the Ji family is a lot quieter today, maybe they have cried enough, they have made enough trouble, and they don't have the strength to cry anymore.

Ji Wei leaned against the wall and squinted for a while.

The Chinese military officials of the Xuanwu Hall gathered together.

The king of Qi sits high on the throne.

The atmosphere of the court today is particularly solemn.

Jiang Ce and Jiang Yu also stood in the courtiers' column, and the two of them glanced at each other without moving.

Princess Yan died in Qi State, and Qi Country is bound to give Yan Kingdom a satisfactory answer, and it is far from enough to punish the Ji family.

King Qi looked at everyone condescendingly and said slowly: "Princess Yan died in Linzi, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

King Qi did not mention the murderer again.

The stakes were so high that none of the civil and military officials present dared to speak at will.

Xu Hong glanced around at everyone, he strode out and looked at the King of Qi and bowed and said: "King Qi, the state of Chu is strong, and the marriage between the two countries is imperative, this matter must not affect the marriage event, the minister thinks that the murderer should be killed as soon as possible, in order to comfort the spirit of Princess Yan in the sky, the king had better write a letter of state to King Yan with his own hands, first, to explain the situation to King Yan, to comfort his pain of losing his daughter, and second, to let King Yan know the sincerity of my marriage in Qi." ”

The ministers nodded again and again, deeply impressed.

King Qi did not speak.

Under his gaze, Xu Hong continued: "As for the marriage, although the royal family does not have a marriageable princess, you can find a marriageable woman from the royal family, and the princess will be named a princess to marry Yan Guo, or let Yan Gongzi choose his favorite woman and Ke among the clansmen." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" As soon as Xu Hong's voice fell, before King Qi could speak, one by one the courtiers stood up.

The voice of "the minister seconded the ......" came and went.

Jiang Ce and Jiang Yu never said a word.

King Qi raised his head and looked at the two of them, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

Jiang Ce and Jiang Yu glanced at each other, he strode forward and looked at King Qi and said: "Father, the son thinks that the murderer is suspicious, and he also asks his father to issue a thorough investigation into this matter, only by finding out the real murderer can he comfort Princess Yan's spirit in the sky." ”

Jiang Yu glanced at Jiang Ce without a trace.

King Qi's face didn't have any waves at all, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his gaze on Jiang Yu and asked, "What do you have any opinions?"

Jiang Yu scurried in his chest in one breath, he glanced at Jiang Ce lightly, it was clear that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he also let his father investigate the murderer thoroughly, the more he was like this, the more no one suspected him, and his clever means really made him out of reach.

He also wanted his father to investigate the real murderer thoroughly, but he hated that he couldn't do this, he looked at King Qi with his hands crossed and said: "Father, Erchen thinks that there is no need to investigate the murderer thoroughly, the murderer who killed Princess Yan is Ji's aunt, Dazai-sama said very much, and Erchen also seconded it." ”

Jiang Ce glanced at Jiang Yu quietly, and an invisible smile flashed under his eyes.

Of the civil and military officials, only Jiang Ce raised objections to the murderer.

King Qi pondered for a moment, and with a slight wave of his sleeve, he said, "There is no need to discuss the murderer's matter. ”。

"Father...... Jiang Ce wanted to say something, but King Qi glanced at him fixedly, and then he retreated with Jiang Yu.

King Qi swept over everyone present one by one, and more than half of the people agreed with Xu Hong's opinion, and he must have looked at Xu Hong with a light in his eyes and said, "What Aiqing said is very true, just according to what Aiqing said." ”

"King Shengming!" Xu Hong said loudly with a bow.

As soon as his voice fell, all the civil and military officials stood up and looked at King Qi and said, "King Shengming." ”

Suddenly, a temple man hurriedly ran to Zhao Xin and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhao Xin turned his head to look at King Qi and arched his hand and said, "King, Young Master Yan is asking to see you outside." ”

King Qi's eyes rolled, he looked at Zhao Xin and said, "Please come in." ”

"Prince Xuanyan came to see him. Zhao Xin opened his throat and shouted.

Soon Ji Xing strode in, he was dressed in plain clothes, wearing a jade crown, and a pair of peach blossom eyes filled with shallow pain.

In front of everyone's eyes, he looked at King Qi and said, "Ji Xing has seen King Qi. ”

King Qi's face was also stained with a little sadness, he looked at Ji Xing and said sonorously: "Please mourn the prince's day, Princess Yue Xiang Xiaoyu died, the widow is also heartbroken, and the widow will definitely severely punish the murderer and give Yan Guo an explanation." ”

"Thank you King Qi, Ji Xing is here today to implore King Qi to investigate the murderer thoroughly. Ji Xing looked at King Qi and said.

As soon as his voice fell, before King Qi could speak, Jiang Yu frowned and looked at Ji Xing and said: "Childe's murderer of Princess Yue has been put in prison, I don't know if Childe wants to show the murderer's head to the public?

Ji Xing glanced at Jiang Yu lightly, he took out the blood book from his cuffs, presented it to King Qi with both hands, and said, "Please King Qi take a look." ”

Zhao Xin stepped forward to take it and handed it to King Qi.

King Qi opened it and took a look, the white cotton cloth was inked with blood, and every word and sentence was telling his grievances, and he ended the pen with the words Ji's aunt.

"Ji Xing never thought that Ji's aunt was a murderer, that day I jumped into the lake to save Ah Yue, I felt that there was a huge pull at the bottom of the lake desperately pulled Ah Yue down, and Ji Yu said that someone in the lake pulled her down, and there were many suspicions about the murderer, and I hope that King Qi will order a thorough investigation of the murderer, give Ah Yue, and give Yan Guo an explanation. Ji Xing looked directly at King Qi and said word by word.

Erchen thought that what Yan Gongzi said was very true, and asked his father to order a thorough investigation of the murderer. As soon as his voice fell, Jiang Ce also stood up.
