The atmosphere in the palace was very solemn, and a terrible storm was about to break out at any moment.

Chu Yunxi was escorted into the Frost Hall, and the emperor was already there, looking at her gaze, cold without a trace of emotion. Chu Yunxi was still escorted by the palace people to kneel, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Chu Yunxi lowered her eyes and hid the trace of mockery in her eyes.

"Your Majesty." Imperial Physician Zhou came out of the inner room, knelt in front of the emperor, and said, "Weichen is incompetent, please ask the emperor to surrender." "When he came, Concubine Ning was already dead, and even if he tried his best, he couldn't recover.

"Concubine Ning...... How did he die? It was a long time before the emperor opened his mouth, and his slightly hoarse voice could faintly hear a trace of sadness.

Imperial Doctor Zhou paused, glanced at Chu Yunxi secretly, and said, "Weichen doesn't know, this matter still needs to be confirmed." ”

Concubine Ning was strangled to death, and the pinching marks on her neck were clear at a glance, Imperial Doctor Zhou knew about it, but he didn't dare to say it.

"I don't know?" The emperor sneered, and looked directly at Imperial Doctor Zhou with a sharp gaze, "Can't you see the pinch marks on Concubine Ning's neck!" Concubine Ning was strangled to death! As he spoke, the emperor's gaze shifted to Chu Yunxi.

Although Chu Yunxi was kneeling, his waist was straight.

When the emperor saw it, he only felt that his majesty had been challenged, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense: "Chu Yunxi! You are so bold, you dare to murder the concubine and the imperial heir! ”

"Father." Chu Yunxi said, raised his head, looked straight at the emperor, his calm eyes, and did not show a trace of panic, "Erchen has no reason to murder Concubine Ning. ”

"King Jing is still young, it is the time when his blood and qi are strong, and it is not impossible to disagree with each other and act impulsively." Concubine Li's unhurried voice interjected, "On Concubine Ning's birthday, she wronged the princess because of the matter of Yu Pei. The implication is that Chu Yunxi killed Concubine Ning on impulse because of this incident.

"Father." At this time, Chu Xiuxiu, also under the leadership of the palace people, arrived at the Frost Palace, immediately knelt beside Chu Yunxi, and said, "Erchen is willing to vouch for his life, and the imperial sister is innocent." ”

"Life guarantee, it's not lip service." Concubine Li said.

"If the royal sister is really guilty, the son is willing to share the crime with her." Chu Xiuxiu raised her head and looked at the emperor, her eyes full of determination.

For a moment, the emperor couldn't say anything.

"Your Majesty." The queen spoke, "The matter is still undecided, let's talk about it when it comes." ”

The Emperor nodded.

About half an hour, the work finally came, it was a famous work in the capital, Lord Luo.

"Your Majesty, Princess Jing asks to see you." A eunuch outside the door made an announcement.

"Biography." The Emperor said.

Xia Fenglan entered the Frost Hall, followed by an old man who was over sixty years old.

"See the Emperor." Xia Fenglan knelt beside Chu Yunxi, and the hand hidden in her sleeve secretly moved a little to Chu Yunxi's side, just enough to hold her hand.

There was a warm touch on the back of her hand, Xia Fenglan's index finger moved slightly, and she gently wrote the words "Don't be afraid" under the back of Chu Yunxi's hand. Then, his five fingers were slightly retracted, and he held the back of Chu Yunxi's hand tightly, hoping to give her some encouragement and support.

Chu Yunxi looked down at the place where the sleeves were covered, and hooked her lips slightly. Her Feng Lan will always be able to give her warmth when she is in the most difficult time.

"Father." Chu Xiuxiu opened her mouth and said, "Erchen thinks that this matter is very important, and Lord Luo is panicked alone, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong, so he has found another servant, and the two of them can cooperate to find out the matter of Concubine Ning as soon as possible." ”

Although the emperor was annoyed by Chu Xiuxiu's self-assertion, he remembered the debt over the years, and still agreed: "Just according to what you say, the two of you will work together." ”

The two servants entered the inner sanctum, and searched for about half an hour before they came out together.

After glancing at each other, Lord Luo took the lead in speaking, and said with a stern expression: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ning Niangniang died of suffocation. Time of death, an hour ago. ”

Strangled to death, for an hour, it was all in line with the situation when Chu Yunxi left.

"It's just that Concubine Ning didn't strangle to death." Master Luo paused and continued, "The pinch mark on Niangniang's neck was forcibly added after she died. ”

"Concubine Ning Niangniang didn't have the slightest scar on her body, so the grass people dared to speculate that Niangniang was suffocated to death after being forcefully covered with her mouth and nose." Another work, Ji Rongqiu lowered his head and said.

When Concubine Li heard this, she frowned and glared at Cailing. A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of CRBT, which was a little different from her arrangement.

In this matter, the signs of framing are already too obvious. No matter how stupid and impulsive Chu Yunxi is, it is absolutely impossible to kill someone, and he deliberately left a pinch mark.

The Emperor had apparently figured it out. The cold gaze scanned everyone present, he hadn't been tricked like this in a long time.

"Call all the palace people in the Frost Palace." The emperor said coldly.

After a while, all the palace people of the Frost Hall knelt in the hall according to their ranks, and they all trembled in the face of the emperor's anger.

"Where is Concubine Ning's personal maid?" glanced at the first row, there was obviously an empty seat, and there was obviously suppressed anger between the emperor's words.

"Qi, Qiqi Emperor." The eunuch, the leader of the Frost Palace, said tremblingly, "Everywhere, there is no trace of Miss Frost. ”

"Father, when the son and Concubine Ning were talking, Shuang'er was serving beside him." Chu Yunxi opened his mouth and said, "After Erchen left, what happened to Concubine Ning's side, Shuang'er is also the one who knows best. "It's just that Chu Yunxi also knows that Shuang'er is probably already a corpse at this moment.

"Send someone to me to find it immediately." The emperor said, his eyes filled with anger, "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!" ”

"Yes...... Be. The eunuch shuddered for a moment, and immediately went down.

The clue was broken here, and the emperor was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "King Jing Chu Yunxi, ban the 'Yunxi Palace', and you are not allowed to enter and leave without permission until the matter is clear." ”

Even though he knew in his heart that she was wronged, his father still did not forgive her. Her father's jealousy of her has reached this point. Chu Yunxi thought about it, and there was a chill in her heart.

Inside the Yuyun Temple

"Xi, I would love to accompany you. The shape of the palace is unknown now, you are still wearing a guilty body, and I always can't rest assured of you. Xia Fenglan grabbed Chu Yunxi's hands tightly, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Be obedient and go back to the palace with Xiuxiu." Chu Yunxi stretched out his index finger, gently scraped the tip of Xia Fenglan's nose, and said, "If you stay in the palace, it is very likely that you will become someone else's target." ”

"I'd rather be a target myself than get you hurt." Xia Fenglan said.

"I'm really going to be angry if I say that again." Chu Yunxi grimaced and reprimanded Xia Fenglan, "I will take good care of myself and will not let myself be hurt, and you are not allowed to hurt yourself even the slightest." ”

"I'll be careful." Xia Fenglan took two steps forward, hugged Chu Yunxi tightly, and breathed the breath on her body greedily, "If you have any ideas, you must immediately send someone to sue me and Xiuxiu, don't think about solving everything alone." ”

"I understand." Chu Yunxi had a little smile in his eyes and patted Xia Fenglan's shoulder.

"Where do you understand?" Raising her head from Chu Yunxi's shoulder, Xia Fenglan looked at Chu Yunxi with a slight coquettishness in her eyes, "Every time you have a complete response to the matter, or you solve it before you sue me." ”

"I promise you, this time, I will report to you all the time, okay?" The corners of Chu Yunxi's lips rose slightly, hooking up an arc.

"That's pretty much it." Xia Fenglan smiled.

"Princess, the time is almost up, if the palace gate is re-keyed, you won't be able to leave tonight." Jin Ci stepped forward and informed Xia Fenglan.

"I'm leaving." Xia Fenglan lowered her head and said to Chu Yunxi.

"Let's go." Chu Yunxi let go of Xia Fenglan and motioned for Jin Ci to take Xia Fenglan away.

Looking at Xia Fenglan's back almost greedily, Chu Yunxi knew that this matter could not be solved in ten days and half a month. If she can't see Feng Lan for so long, she still doesn't want to. However, she also understood that Feng Lan was not in the palace, so it was the best choice.

After walking for a short while, Xia Fenglan stopped, turned around, ran towards Chu Yunxi, and imprinted a kiss on Chu Yunxi's right cheek. Immediately, his cheeks turned crimson. Before Chu Yunxi could see it clearly, he left the Xiyun Hall as if he had fled.

Touching the place where Xia Fenglan was kissing, a happy smile appeared in Chu Yunxi's eyes.

At his feet was the silk handkerchief that Xia Fenglan had just dropped on the ground, Chu Yunxi bent down and picked up the silk handkerchief from the ground, which was the pattern of the willow leaves embroidered by Xia Fenglan a while ago.

In the corner of the silk handkerchief, two red hearts are embroidered together.

Chu Yunxi bent the corners of his eyes and carefully reassured the silk handkerchief. With Feng Lan's heart by her side, if you want to come, you won't be lonely.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much, Sister Huang is such a smart person, she must be fine." On the way out of the palace, Chu Xiuxiu comforted Xia Fenglan and said, "It's not the first time that such a thing has happened, and the imperial sister will definitely be able to solve it perfectly this time." ”

Xia Fenglan nodded, thought of something, and said to Chu Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, you send more people to look for traces of frost around the capital, and if there is any sign, you must notify me and Xi immediately." Also, you go check on Shuang'er's family and send someone to guard them, I'm afraid that someone will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

"I understand." Chu Xiuxiu said.

"Also," after pondering for a while, Xia Fenglan said, "You go find a few people who are similar to Shuang'er in figure and appearance, the more similar the better." ”

Frost Shiyou* is no longer alive, and she has to do some preparations. If Shuang'er is still alive, it is naturally good, and if she is dead, she can only ......

"What does the imperial sister-in-law want these people to do?" Chu Xiuxiu asked suspiciously.

"Maybe one day, this similar person will come in handy." Xia Fenglan said, a touch of wisdom appeared in her eyes.

"Brocade." Not long after Xia Fenglan left, Chu Yunxi called Jin Ci, "You have to find a way to inform Mo Lan and ask her to find a few people similar to Shuang'er." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Jin Ci responded.
