Ji Huaishan committed suicide by swallowing his tongue after pleading guilty, Ji Xingxuan was greatly stimulated and fell into a coma on the spot, and was taken away by Liu Hao, the king of Ning, who arrived later, and the two criminals died and fainted, so that the trial of the case had to come to an end.

Guo Huai'an asked the messenger to carry Ji Huaishan's body down and wait for the Ji family to come to collect the funeral, and then announced his retirement.

"Young Eunuch Ren, let's go to the back to discuss things," Guo Huai'an got up and straightened the black yarn, first signaled to Ren Qiming, and then turned his head to Xue Rui, who was standing with Yu Shu and Jingchen below the hall:

"Xue Shaoqing, you send a Daozi on behalf of the official."

"Yes, sir."

With the departure of Guo Huai'an and Ren Qiming, there were only a few waiting-in servants left in the public hall full of people just now.

"Daozi, please." Xue Rui stretched out his hand to Jing Chen and led him out of the door, but his eyes looked at Yu Shu, seeing that she was lowering her head and didn't know what she was thinking, but she could sense that she was in a bad mood, so she was a little worried that she was frightened because of Ji Huaishan's death.

Jing Chen was looking at the small pool of dazzling blood on the ground intently, and when he heard Xue Rui call him, he came back to his senses, glanced at Xue Rui, and then turned his gaze to Yu Shu, and stopped talking.

Yu Shu seemed to be done thinking about something, raised his head, saw that both of them were looking at him, and said expressionlessly: "Look what I do, let's go."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked out, without looking at the dead man's blood on the ground. Seeing this, Xue Rui and Jing Chen followed out, as well as the two palace guards who followed Jing Chen everywhere.

When they arrived outside the gate of Dali Temple, the carriage that picked up Jingchen in the palace was waiting across the street, and the guards stepped forward to lead the horse, and the coachman turned around with the car and stopped in front of Jingchen, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little eunuch jumped out of the car, originally wanted to welcome Jingchen into the car, but when he saw the blood mark on his chest, he hurriedly screamed:

"Ah, Daozi, what's wrong with you, where did you get blood, where did you hurt?"

Jing Chen looked down at his chest and said, "I'm fine, it's someone else's blood."

The little eunuch patted his chest and exhaled twice, glaring at the guards who were following Jing Chen, as if complaining that they were not responsible for guarding, turned around and lifted the curtain of the colorful car, and said to Jing Chen:

"Get in the car, you have to go back and change this dirty clothes quickly, so as not to get dirty."

Jingchen turned his head to look at Yu Shu, opened his mouth and was about to say something, when he heard Yu Shu say first:

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something to say to you."

After speaking, without waiting for him to agree, he turned his head to Xue Rui and said, "Big brother, borrow your place."

As soon as Xue Rui heard this, he knew that she was going to go to the Wangji Building, and after thinking about it, he said to her: "You go over first, I'll go in and sort out the case files, and I'll be there later."

Then he looked at the beautifully decorated and eye-catching carriage in the palace and asked her: "Lao Cui is in the back stable, why don't you wait, I'll let him drive you."

Yu Shu said: "No need, I'll take your car, it's inconvenient to wait for you to leave," he said, and turned around and got into the carriage in the palace.

The little eunuch didn't recognize Yu Shu, seeing that she got into the master's car so magnificently, and was just about to reprimand, he saw the curtain of the car open from the inside to reveal Yu Shu's face, and said to Jing Chen:

"Not leaving?"

Jingchen hesitated for a moment, then got into the car, the little eunuch had eyes, and swallowed back the words when he saw this situation, and was about to follow into the car and just poked his head in, when he heard the person inside say:

"You, sit outside, let the coachman go to the street first."

Yu Shu waved his hand at the unknown little eunuch, couldn't help but pull down the curtain of the car, hang it on the barb of the door frame, sit back by the window, look out at Xue Rui, and said:

"I'll go back first."

"Hmm."

Xue Rui stood in front of the door, watching the carriage leave under the escort of two guards, before turning back to the yamen, he had to quickly deal with the matter at hand before he could move out of the space.

In the carriage, after driving for a while, Yu Shu and Jing Chen sat facing each other, with a square table of peach blossom sandalwood corners in the middle, and no one spoke first.

Yu Shu felt very uncomfortable at this time, because of Ji Huaishan's death, because Ji Xingxuan's "good luck" escaped, and even more because Jingchen said sorry to Ji Xingxuan in the court not long ago, and the reproachful eyes when he looked at himself.

If I have to find one word to describe her current mood, that is, aggrieved, very aggrieved.

She didn't think about putting Ji Huaishan to death, but Ji Huaishan was dead, she didn't think about letting Ji Xingxuan go, but Ji Xingxuan successfully got out, and she never thought that the person in front of her who was willing to be born and die for her would actually sympathize with the two people who had harmed her.

Jingchen is not a difficult person to guess, he rarely likes and angers, but he is easy to see, he is easy-going, but there are times when he is stubborn, Yu Shu can see that he is quite mindful of Ji Huaishan's death, and she can also understand the reason why he feels guilty, but understanding does not mean that she can agree.

"Little fish—"

"Why do you want to apologize to Miss Naji?"

The two opened their mouths almost at the same time, but only Yu Shu finished speaking.

̈ Yu Shu's question, Jing Chen didn't know how to answer for a while, he looked at her obviously unhappy face, grasped the hand resting on his lap, and said in a low voice:

"Xiao Yu, our Heavenly Master Dao never kills in vain, but because I lied, Ji Huaishan ended up with a tragic death today, and I feel guilty."

Hearing this, Yu Shu lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, pressed the grievances and boredom in his heart, and explained to him:

"Jingchen, you look at people's hearts too simply, let me tell you the truth, Ji Huaishan will die today, he found it all by himself, and no one forced him. He chose to seek death in order to protect Ji Xingxuan and the Ji family, there must still be people who used his power to cheat for personal gain this time, but he died like this, and he can't ask anything, people die greatly, no matter how big the crime is, what can be pursued, even you sympathize with them, not to mention that others will not be soft-hearted. Those who escaped by luck will remember his kindness, and there is a good chance that they will help him take care of his descendants.

Ji Xingxuan doesn't have to take responsibility for cheating, with her qualifications, this Dayan exam will definitely be high school, once she becomes a Da Yi teacher, a woman of this age will definitely move the capital, and when the time comes, not only will she turn over, but the Ji family will not decline. ”

Speaking of this, she sneered, clasped her arms with both hands, and said: "Ji Huaishan's death is not persecution, but his various calculations, and he died as he deserved, why do you have to feel guilty for him, and why do I have to bear the blame for his death."

After listening to Yu Shu's words, Jing Chen's expression changed slightly, he looked up at her indifferent and ruthless gaze, his heart palpitated, he closed his eyes, and remembered the scene of Ji Huaishan's tragic death, and sighed:

"You're right, he didn't have to die, it was true that he volunteered to die, but if he wasn't forced to do so, why did he have to die to protect his family's descendants. Little fish, they are indeed at fault, but the sin does not lead to death, I knew that it would cost people their lives, and I should not have told that lie in the first place. ”

Looking at Jing Chen's helpless way of closing his eyes, Yu Shu sneered, and heard his unrelenting and regret for her in his last sentence, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, that Ji Huaishan is not guilty to death, and Ji Xingxuan is not guilty to death, does she deserve to be framed and plotted and break her fingers?

That night, she was sent home from Si Tianjian by them, and when she was half unconscious, she heard He Fangzhi and Xue Rui talking in a low voice, saying that even if her fingers were connected, they would no longer be able to use them normally in the future.

She didn't want them to worry, so she pretended not to know, poured those bitter pills every day, endured the pain of the bones at night, said nothing to anyone, said okay to everyone, how do you think that this finger is connected to the heart, that Ji Xingxuan was clamped, and before she saw blood, she cried and shouted in pain, but her little finger was broken by someone, even the belt meat, she still had to endure the pain of the heart, crawled out of the pit dug for her by the two grandparents, and then pushed them in, but they didn't stand firm and fell to death, can you blame her for being ruthless?

Jingchen just saw Ji Huaishan's tragic death, Ji Xingxuan was pitiful and helpless, but he didn't know that forcing them to this point was her way to protect herself, and she had to return it fiercely if she was beaten, and she would never be soft-hearted for those who dared to provoke her, and there was no need to be soft-hearted.

If Jingchen thinks that she is doing something wrong, then she has nothing to say, he has his morality, she also has her stubbornness, she is such a ruthless person, the first thirty years are, and after another thirty years, it will still be.

Yu Shu took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the depression in his heart, and said loudly:

"Parking"

The carriage suddenly stopped at the corner of the street, Jing Chen's figure flickered, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Shu waving the curtain and bending down to get out of the car.

"Little fish?"

Yu Shu jumped out of the carriage, supported the curtain with one hand, looked at him calmly, and said, "Jingchen, I didn't do anything wrong."

Right and wrong are the most unclear things in the world, right and wrong, but ask yourself with a clear conscience, and you don't need the approval of others.

Jingchen looked at Yu Shu's serious eyes, for some reason, he actually noticed a trace of alienation from it, and suddenly felt a little at a loss, opened his mouth to speak, but the curtain embroidered with green branches hung down in front of his eyes, and without waiting for a moment, it covered the time outside the car.

He was stunned until the eunuch outside the car asked him if he had returned to the palace, and then he hurriedly pushed open the curtain and looked out, but saw a road in front of him, and Yu Shu's figure had already disappeared into the crowd.

Yu Shu strode through the unfamiliar streets, did not look back to see whether the carriage behind her was going or staying, and did not think about whether Jingchen would catch up, she just walked along the market, aimlessly, just like her mood at the moment, both bright and dazed.

All she knew was that she didn't want to be alone now.

In this way, she didn't know how long she had been walking, and vaguely heard someone calling her name behind her, and she walked forward a dozen steps before she reacted, turned her head, and looked at the middle of the street where the pedestrians were sparsely populated, and a person riding a horse caught up in a hurry, and stopped beside her, and the person on the horse looked down at her, and breathed a sigh of relief, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead was slightly illuminated by the noon sun, along with the narrow smile:

"Didn't I hear you shouting several times, is there something wrong with your ears, causing me to chase you for half the street, really."

It seems that he has heard the same words somewhere, Yu Shu didn't care, raised his head, and only felt that the person in front of him was very pleasing to the eye, so he smiled brightly and said loudly:

"Big brother, let's go, let's go drink."
