On the day Xiao Ling came back, there were exactly fifteen days before the New Year's Pass, and everyone in the palace was too busy to spend, but Xiao Jin still insisted on waiting for him in person.

The person was indeed waited for by them, but it was not the young general who should be high-spirited in Xiao Jin's imagination, and when Xiao Ling came, he was seriously injured and lying on horseback.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, Xiao Ling fell heavily from his horse and rolled on the snow several times.

Xiao Jin went over to help him up, shocked and anxious, "What's going on!" ”

Xiao Ling grabbed Xiao Jin's sleeve tightly, put the thing he was holding in his hand into his hand, he took several breaths, and struggled to hold out four words, "There is an inner ghost...... Hurry up ......"

And what he handed to Xiao Jin was the talisman that Han Cicada gave him before he left.

Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Ling who had fainted, his eyes were almost red, he looked at the motionless crowd around him, and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and find the imperial doctor!" ”

So someone hurriedly ran to ask for the imperial doctor, and a few people helped Xiao Jin to help Xiao Ling up.

When Xiao Jin walked past Han Cicada's side, he looked at her deeply, leaving only one sentence, "Escort her down." ”

Chill frowned, "You think it's me?" ”

Just because of Xiao Ling's unclear action, he doubted her without asking anything?

Xiao Jin ignored him, helped Xiao Ling and left. Even Mian Shuang just left a sentence, "Don't worry, the imperial brother won't do anything to you" and followed Xiao Jin.

She suddenly felt a heavy sense of powerlessness.

Because Xiao Ling was injured, everyone was around him all afternoon, and the imperial doctors and maids went in and out of Xuanyang Palace, and basins of blood-stained water were brought out.

In this way, until the evening, no one cared about the chilling cicadas in prison.

So Han Cicada sat in prison until the evening, and no one brought her dinner, and she thought that maybe the jailer had forgotten that there was still such a mother as her here.

When was her presence so weak.

She was looking out of the window when a bird flew over and stopped at her window, chirping non-stop.

The chilling cicada smiled and said, "What, you're hungry too?" ”

The bird tilted its head to look at the cicada, and chirped twice, as if to understand her words.

Han Cicada was amused, "Actually, there are a lot of delicious things in this palace, but it's a pity that you flew to a place like mine, and I really don't have anything to eat for you." ”

"Who locked me up here, you ask?" Han Cicada smiled, "Of course it's Xiao Jin, besides him in this palace, who has such a great ability to trap me in this ghost place." ”

"Why do you want to lock me up? Naturally, because he didn't believe me, he didn't believe in me, he didn't care about me, so he locked me up. ”

The bird stopped chirping, and the cicada did not speak, but leaned against the corner and watched it grind its beak.

Suddenly, its movements stopped, and after a few seconds, it fell straight down the window, caught by the chilling cicada.

He's dead.

She turned the bird's carcass over and found a thin silver needle near the leg, with a black tail that had been smeared with poison.

Her eyes sank suddenly, and she took a step back and stood in the corner, "Who is it?" ”

……

Xiao Ling woke up in the second half of the night, and Mianshuang was lying next to his bed, and he moved a little, and Mianshuang woke up.

"How are you, are you feeling okay?"

Xiao Ling nodded, and sat up from the bed a little weakly, "How is the matter investigated?" ”

"What?"

"It's about ghosts in the army."

Before Mian Shuang could answer, Xiao Jin had already pushed the door in and answered Xiao Ling's question, "I have already put the cold cicada in the heavenly prison." ”

"Imprisoned?!" Xiao Ling was shocked, "What are you doing putting her in prison, did she do anything wrong?" ”

"Didn't you slip the amulet she gave you into my hand, just to suggest to me that she was suspicious?"

Xiao Ling almost fainted again, "I asked the imperial brother to send Han Cicada to investigate this matter, she has the ability to find out about this matter, so she stuffed that talisman into your hand, I thought you would understand what I meant." And no matter what, I can't suspect her, how can she ...... if she is like this to you?"

Xiao Jin stopped talking.

He suddenly remembered the look in the cicada's eyes when she looked at him just now, what did she say at that time?

Yes, she said, Xiao Jin, do you think it's me?

At that time, the expression in her eyes was pure, and the uncomfortable emotions were clear at a glance.

It's just plain uncomfortable, not a little unhappy, not a little angry, not half dissatisfied with him, just uncomfortable.

Xiao Jin frowned.

For the first time, I felt guilty for that person. "Go to the prison!"

When Xiao Jin arrived at the prison, he saw that in addition to the cold cicada in the prison, there was also a person lying outside the cell, wearing a night coat and a black cloth on his face.

Xiao Jin's heart sank, and he hurriedly called the jailer to open the door.

The jailer, who had never seen such a large formation, hurried over, took out the key and was about to open the door, but he was in a hurry for a while, and he was stunned that he could not find the key.

Xiao Jin looked upset, and directly pushed the jailer away, shattering the lock with internal force.

The cicada had been poisoned and was lying on the ground, her consciousness was a little blurred, and she seemed to faint at any moment.

She also saw Xiao Jin, and she didn't seem to want to lose her temper in front of Xiao Jin, so she tried to stand up, but she didn't have much strength at all, so she had to fall back to the ground as soon as her body was weak.

Then a pair of strong arms supported her.

After Han Cicada reacted, her whole body had already fallen into Xiao Jin's arms and was picked up by him.

"Xiao Jin ......"

She seemed to be afraid of falling, so she clutched Xiao Jin's sleeve tightly.

"Don't talk."

"Xiao ...... Xiao Jin ...... The man is still alive......" Han Cicada struggled with every word, and she blinked vigorously to keep herself awake, "Find someone...... Save, save him, and then extract a confession...... He knew, Xu, many things ......"

"I told you to shut up!" Xiao Jin was almost annoyed, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, you now, let me lie quietly!" ”

Han Cicada really didn't speak, she fainted in Xiao Jin's arms, her lips were purple, but her face was pale.
