Xia Linghe was stared at by him, and couldn't help shouting, "What are you staring at me all the time?" Do I have flowers on my face? ”

Ouyang Yi's expression froze, the corners of his mouth gradually outlined a smile, and his lips opened slightly, "I didn't know that Boss Xia cared so much about me." ”

"Who cares about you anymore? It's not that I'm afraid of purple ......."

Xia Linghe took the last half of the words back into his stomach, and said with some difficulty, "I'm afraid that you will kill yourself!" ”

Ouyang Yi had already heard the mystery from Xia Linghe's words, she was probably afraid that if something happened to her, Zi Bing would be angry, right?

Even Wan Zibing's friends could know what she was thinking about her, his mood became better and better, and he replied with a big grin, "I don't have that hobby, in a word, I will chase you wherever you go." ”

Xia Linghe "cut", "Who rarely let you chase it?" I should go back. ”

After finishing speaking, Xia Linghe pushed Ouyang Yi out of the room, "It's time to answer, I've already answered you, you better go out quickly!" ”

Xia Linghe closed the door of the room, fortunately Ouyang Yi flashed quickly, otherwise his nose would have suffered.

The smile on the corner of Ouyang Yi's mouth gradually faded and slowly disappeared into the inn.

......

Zhou Cheng was so anxious that he spun in place, looking at the prince who was not moving, but there was no way at all.

"Childe, you have something to say, seeing that the time is coming, you don't want to die in the world, right? Don't think about it like that, even if you have this idea, you have to go back to your life, I still want to live......"

Zhou Cheng's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he could die down at any time, Xue Zimu only felt that Zhou was like a mosquito, turning around in his ears, leaving no space for himself.

Xue Zimu opened his eyes lazily, but the bottom of his eyes was clear, "If you want me to go back, it's not impossible." ”

Zhou Cheng's spirit suddenly perked up, and he looked at Xue Zimu with blank eyes, just like a little white rabbit seeing a delicious carrot, "Childe, you finally figured it out, I'm so relieved, I'll go clean up immediately!" ”

Zhou Cheng was like installing the engine of the motor, and he couldn't wait to set off immediately, but was stopped by Xue Zimu, "Follow me for so long, it's really vain to teach you, is there a free lunch in the world?" ”

Zhou Cheng's throat tightened, looking at Xue Zimu's calm face, fear rose in his heart for no reason, don't look at the prince like an idle prince all day long, never do serious things, but he is clear about everything in his heart, and if he wants to fool him, it is really not something he can do.

He lowered his head appointedly, "Childe, what are you going to do?" ”

Xue Zimu saw Zhou Cheng begging for death, and stared at him suspiciously, "Zhou Cheng, I didn't offend you, and I didn't give you a punishment, what are you doing with a sad face?" ”

"Childe, I ask you to touch your conscience and speak, every time, you say so, but every time you give me a task, it is even more difficult, I can stand here with all my beard and tail, it is already the peak, you still want me to laugh? I don't know what the hell you're up to......"

Xue Zimu nodded slightly, "Yes, yes, this is the person from my Xue Mansion, and he still has a certain amount of insight." ”

Zhou Cheng rolled his eyes helplessly, instead of waiting for Xue Zimu to draw a big cake for himself, it was better to take the initiative to explain the trend of the matter, "Childe, I have checked it many times, although there are many guests in Nanyang Palace, but they can't remember clearly, what happened at that time, I swear, I really follow the characters on the gift list, every family has been visited, without exception, so, your suspicion is unreasonable, and there is no way to convict Wan Zibing." ”

Xue Zimu looked at Zhou Cheng with a serious expression, "I didn't say that I wanted to convict her, I need to know the truth of the matter." ”

A thin layer of anger welled up on Xue Zimu's face, as if he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Cheng's definition of Wan Zibing.

Zhou Cheng was crying with a sad face, worried about the unknown fate.

The prince is already a demon barrier, and he can't listen to anyone's words. He protects Wan Zibing so indiscriminately, if you want to say that he is not moved, who would believe it?

"Childe, I know, I've already said everything, what else do you want? Even if she is just a suspect, but it is better to hand over the suspect than the non-suspect, when the time comes, we will hand her over, and your black gauze hat can be saved, wouldn't everyone be happy? ”

Although Zhou Cheng felt aggrieved in his heart, he still said what he said in his heart, the prince can't ruin his good future because of such a woman.

Although this "great future" is different from the definition of ordinary people, he really thinks about Xue Zimu, and Xue Zimu is also for the sake of his loyalty, so he has been patient and not angry.

But Xue Zimu's tone was like frost, making Zhou Cheng's whole body shrouded in an ominous premonition, "Zhou Cheng, are you questioning my ability?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!"

Zhou Cheng was so frightened by Xue Zimu that he didn't dare to reply for a long time, so he could only stare at Xue Zimu quietly, not daring to miss the expression on his face again.

Xue Zimu's expression eased slightly, and then he said to Zhou Cheng, "Another thing that asked you to investigate, how is it going?" ”

Zhou Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and informed Xue Zimu of all the results of his investigation, "King Nanyang doesn't have any enemies, if you talk about enemies, maybe those families are, right?" ”

Zhou Cheng cautiously mentioned this matter, but he didn't dare to say the names of those families at will.

It is said that that night, the blood of those people stained the entire alley, and the air was filled with a lingering smell of blood, and the original wealthy families were defined as thieves overnight and slaughtered.

There are corpses everywhere, and it is unbearable to see.

Xue Zimu's eyebrows were also covered with a layer of haze, he didn't know much about this matter, but judging from his father's sad expression, there must be a hidden truth behind this matter.

Could it be that their descendants have come to ask for their lives?

"Check, give me a check to the end, I want to know if there were any survivors in the family back then."

Zhou Cheng bit his lip tightly and said with some embarrassment, "Childe, this, this is to find out to the first emperor?" If you are not careful, it will damage the majesty of the royal family, should you think twice? ”

Xue Zimu glanced at him and sneered, "Zhou Cheng, the emperor put you by my side, you are my person, one person serving two masters, I don't want it to happen to me, I don't mind you reporting my whereabouts to my father, but I also hate that people question my decision." ”

Xue Zimu's expression was extremely serious, and he no longer had the approachable appearance he used to have.

Although he was wearing a green shirt, there seemed to be a giant dragon lingering around him, faintly exuding the aura of a king, causing Zhou Cheng to kneel down in a hurry, "The villain doesn't dare, I'll check it out right away." ”

As soon as Zhou Cheng went out, he wiped the beads of sweat on his face, and sighed that his poor fate was sandwiched between the emperor and the prince, such an errand was too difficult.

When Zhou Cheng left, Xue Zimu's face was still gloomy, he held the teacup in his hand tightly, as if he had poured all his strength into it, and with a "snap", the teacup shattered in response, and the bright red blood flowed down his tiger's mouth and fell to the ground, making a dull echo.

......

The queen was embroidering a veil, but she accidentally pricked her finger, which caused the palace maid on the side to shout, and she wanted to invite the imperial doctor over immediately, but she glared at the palace maid, "What's all the fuss about this, because of this little injury, the imperial doctor was invited over, and it was not a joke!" ”

The palace maid obeyed the queen's instructions, took out some trauma medicine from the cabinet next to her, and carefully smeared it for the queen, the queen's soul seemed to be hooked away, and her mind could no longer focus on the handkerchief in front of her, but was in a daze at the bird cage in the distance.

"Satsuki, what kind of world will it be outside?"

Xiao Yue didn't dare to answer rashly, but dared to ask the queen, "Niangniang, according to the slave maid, everyone's thoughts are different, and the world they see is naturally different, what do you think?" ”

A flash of worry flashed in the queen's eyes, "Yes, everyone is different, I really don't know how he will live." ”

Xiao Yue could vaguely guess that the person who could make the queen so worried must be the prince who saw the head and the tail of the dragon, it is said that this prince is very mysterious, even the people in the palace rarely see his true face, and he doesn't even know that he is tall, short, fat and thin.

But one thing is certain, the prince does not return to the palace often, but spends a long time outside the palace, and it is inevitable that the queen mother is so worried.

"Niangniang, you are so worried, you can summon the prince back, he has always been filial and does not dare to disobey you."

In fact, Xiao Yue has never seen the prince a few times, but by chance, she glanced at him from a distance, looked at his demeanor, and was very respectful to the queen, guessing that he was a filial person, and he would definitely not lose the face of the mother.

The queen's nervous face eased slightly, the sorrow between her eyebrows also lightened a little, and her tone was still mixed with a thick worry, "Xiaoyue, you don't know that his bad temper is just following his father, and he won't give up until the Yellow River." ”

Xiao Yue's gaze suddenly tightened, and she nervously pulled the queen's sleeve, and the queen looked at her helplessly, "Xiao Yue, why are you naughty again?" ”

"I'd like to hear who's talking bad about me?"

Xue Yuwan saw the emperor coming from a distance, Ying Ying bowed, but she didn't see the slightest panic, but retorted fearlessly, "That's what I said, you still want to use the emperor's majesty to suppress me?" ”

Xiao Yue knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, not daring to look up at the emperor's face, but Xue Yuwan asked her to get up, and she retreated.

It's just that the moment she closed the door, she was in a trance. It's been so long, and she's still not used to the way the emperor and the empress get along.
