"Oops! Did you hear that? That Cai girl was framed? Didn't you say that Your Majesty had lost love for her? Why is it that the teachers are still so active now? ”

"Where do slaves and maids know, they all say that the heart of the Son of Heaven is not to be speculated, so let's not speculate!"

At this time, outside Mo Xiru's dormitory, the lively master and servant were hiding in the dark and chattering, and every time she said a word, Wu Zhiqing often had to raise her head to take a look, not because of the side, but because of the shadow left by Zhi Lan, who opened her voice when she suddenly opened her head. It was precisely because of the last experience that Wu Zhiqing always felt that there was someone on top of her head in the days that followed, so she also went back to subconsciously visiting, even if the news of Zhi Lan's critical illness had spread to the whole palace, she did not dare to relax her vigilance, and always felt that Zhi Lan might appear anywhere around her.

"But who framed that wild girl? It can't be this gentle-tempered Concubine Wen, right? Tut-tut, that is really knowing people and faces, but not knowing the heart, Concubine Wen can do such a thing that loses her conscience? If the wild girl leaves tonight, Concubine Wen will also be blamed, will there be only one person left in this palace? That's great! In the future, the holy grace will also be enjoyed exclusively by the palace! ”

"Niangniang, don't forget, there is also Concubine Yu, she has the most momentum these days, and others have long become insignificant!"

"Tsk! There is even a fox from another race! What a disappointment! ”

The two masters and servants who were hidden in the dark seemed to have nothing to do with the turmoil of the night, and they didn't care about the final outcome, and they were just outsiders anyway. After all, Wu Zhiqing knows that it is not easy to win the heart of the Son of Heaven, she has fallen a lot on Yi Zhixing in the past, and now she is completely too lazy to seduce the saint, she is still happy to be an outsider from time to time, just like now, being idle is also idle, it is better to wander around in this palace, where is it lively, be a theater watcher with peace of mind, tonight the whole palace is full of big dramas! Even the scene of Aluluo being refused to enter the Jingwan Palace was also caught by the two masters and servants who had nothing to do, they didn't come to this palace to compete for the holy favor, they just came here to watch the big play, they all said that there are many plays in this harem, and now Wu Zhiqing finally realized the deep meaning of this sentence, it seems that in the future, the harem is afraid that it will become more lively, and she, an unfavored woman, can only rely on the 'liveliness' in the palace to live, to be a relaxed outsider, and the theater watcher is not bad.

At this time, the guards led by Yan Qi have arrested more than a dozen girls, these girls have been to Lan Cainu's dormitory in recent days, but when they saw that their faces were discolored, cold sweat broke out, and the tip of the knife was directed at them, they cried even more. Yan Qi saw at a glance that among the dozen or so girls, there was Yun Tao who was involved in the arson case at the beginning, and she was also worried at this time, but compared to others, she was not overly frightened, I don't know if she was bold or because she was too convinced that she did not participate in the murder.

"Let's go! Crush this group of people to the torture chamber! ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, these palace servants were dragged away from here, and after that, Yan Qi walked quickly to Mo Xiru's eyes.

"Concubine Wen, I hope you and Miss Sujin will also go with us, this time Your Majesty is very angry, even if you are innocent, please let me conduct a routine investigation."

"It's natural, let's go, Sujin. However, this palace believes that the girls in this palace are all peaceful, and they have no reason to do such a sinister thing. ”

This time, Mo Xiru's mood seemed to calm down a lot, she said firmly, but Yan Qi returned such a sentence.

"I don't know my heart, Niangniang, you don't have to be sure that it's too early, there are a lot of unexpected things in this harem, maybe whoever looks docile likes to hurt people behind his back."

In this regard, Yan Qi's afterglow often moved to the body of the master and servant, maybe he stayed in the palace with Yi Zhixing for a long time, Yan Qi was almost the first born in the palace, the head of the palace, he was used to seeing a lot of sinister disgusting people, and now he looks at everyone like a possible evildoer, even looking at Mo Xiru and her personal girl.

When everyone was severely tortured, there was still no peace in the palace.

In the end, Yi Zhixing was the only one who was restless, but seeing that he sometimes sits, sometimes stands, sometimes moves to the couch, and sometimes asks about Wu Laolai, he completely forgets the government affairs not long ago, the cunning of Zhi Lan in the past, and the self who is eager to kill Zhi Lan, just hoping to leak out slightly, Yi Zhixing is not calm, he desperately wants to catch it, he can't believe what the consequences of missing it will be, Zhi Lan must live, and he has to live under his nose.

At this time, the palace was already in chaos, and many palace people woke up, because the occasional sound of whipping in the torture room could not be underestimated, even if it was just smelling, they could feel the inexplicable coldness and palpitations on their skin a few rooms away, as if they were whipped on their own bodies, and each whip could make people's hearts tremble, as if they were brought back to the days when they were ruled by tyrants again. Of course, there are naturally some bold people in the palace, and some of the old people in the palace fall asleep more and more with this sound of dangerous cold, and their sleep can become sweeter and sweeter.

The sound of wailing, whipping, and the noise of the spectators was now filling the palace everywhere, and with the exception of the terrifyingly silent Jingwan Palace, there was a cacophony everywhere around, and it was so lively.

It is easy to exclude from this noise, he completely isolates all the distractions, and even refuses to give the time to think about the distractions outside, at least at this moment, his ears and eyes, his mind or thoughts are completely attributed to Zhilan who is lying on the couch at this time, there is no time to leave the hatred of the past and the distractions outside and the unknown of the future, he can only see the current Zhilan, his heart is only obsessed with whether Zhilan can continue to live.

But the tender side of the Son of Heaven has never been exposed at all, in addition to the current anxiety in his face, it is still the current anxiety, he hates that he can't replace Wu Lao to help, every time he paces, he hates his powerlessness more and more, and can only face Zhi Lan silently but can't find a little rescue.

At this time, Wu Lao had already begun to prick needles in Zhi Lan's flesh and blood, and the Son of Heaven could only stand from the side and stare at Zhi Lan's face, which had long been haggard to the point of being colorless, and it was also the beautiful but cruel face that always ran through his memory that night. How much he longed to be close to her, but in the end, Yi Zhixing dispelled this thought, and still chose to stand aside and watch. Not only because he was afraid of disturbing Wu Lao's practice of medicine to save people, but also because he was afraid of approaching the person on the couch.

Torture chamber.

"Say! Who killed Lan Cainu! Anyone who provides evidence or chooses to confess will not be killed, and if the details are found out after the fact, those who participate in it or those who conceal it and do not report it will be immediately executed. ”

At this time, standing in front of those palace people who were tortured by whipping, Yan Qi's eyes were not redundant and sympathetic, but only cold and unsympathetic as always.

And standing behind him are Mo Xiru and Su Jin, although this master can't be beaten for the time being, but Yan Qi still wants the two of them to witness the punishment of others, even if they don't have to suffer the criminal law physically, but this mental must be slightly destroyed Ah, if they still have a conscience, they will definitely be moved by the punishment of innocent people. So far, Yan Qi has not removed his suspicions from the two masters and servants.

"My lord, we don't know...... We really don't know! Let us go, we're innocent! ”

The fleshy body wailed and begged for help from time to time, but all the time, they almost only had this similar sentence, I don't know, I don't know or I don't know, this is definitely not the result Yan Qi wants.

The next moment, Yan Qi's eyes suddenly became cold, but seeing that he continued cruelly: "Keep beating, until someone confesses." ”

These palace maids began to wail again, and the miserable voices came and went, some of them were palace maids who visited the palace quietly, and some were the servants of Concubine Wen's palace.

"! Empress...... Yan Gongzi, I hope you can let our mother go out for a while to rest, she can't stand such a bloody scene......"

Su Jinden begged, but Yan Qi didn't understand people at all.

"Miss Sujin, it's not that Concubine Wen won't go out, it's just that Concubine Wen and Miss Sujin are indeed involved, and now you haven't been whipped for the two of you, it is already because Concubine Wen's gentle temperament may not do such a ridiculous thing, if you let the two of you go out again, wouldn't it be suspected of bending the law for personal gain? It's just impartial, but I really can't afford to be so guilty, and I hope that Niangniang can be patient for a while, and stay until the criminals are found out, and it's not too late for you to leave. ”

"Swallow...... Young Master Yan, it is impossible for the people in the palace to do these things, and the palace believes that they ......"

At this time, Mo Xiru, who was retching constantly, suddenly raised her head, she always distinguished her palace people like this.

"Oh? Is it? I also believe in them, and I believe that they are your servants as Concubine Wen, and they are as gentle as you, but their duty is to ask the truth, and this torture room must play its role as a torture room. ”

Yan Qi was humble and polite, and his tone was not half offended, but the words he said were all completely unsentimental and resolute, Yan Qi's meaning was already obvious, that is, this group of people would still be punished, and she Mo Xiru would continue to stand here and watch this group of people be punished.

At this time, Mo Xiru suddenly burst into tears, almost uncontrollable, and she buried her head in Su Jin's arms sadly.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Qi asked without the slightest emotion, but a layer of suspicion suddenly flashed across his eyes.

"What could it be? Yan Gongzi, do you still want to ask knowingly? It's that you are so unkind, you refuse to let our mother leave, and our mother has always been a person who can't see the suffering of others, and now this flesh and blood is blurred, how can she stand it if you call her mother? Do you think everyone is as heartless and ruthless as you? ”

Su Jin was upset for his master, and Yan Qi, who was scolded so bloody, was not moved at all, he just looked at Mo Xiru more ruthlessly, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

"Really?"

Somehow, as soon as the two words came out, Mo Xiru, who was buried in Su Jin's arms, was even more full of sorrow, and her body that was silently swallowing tears trembled more and more.
