"Master, please save Zhuo'er!"

In Xiao's mansion, Xiao's mother kept begging Xiao Yu, just because Xiao Zhuo would probably be beheaded three days later. And the cause of the incident was that Xiao Zhuo entered Qingfangyuan without permission to assassinate the concubine Zhu Guier, although his motive is unknown, but his crime is evidenced by Yuwen Chengdu and the maid of Qingfangyuan, plus Zhu Guier is still unconscious, and under the anger of the saint, the criminal department does not dare to neglect Xiao Zhuo's interrogation.

"What's the use of you crying? This rebel son has done such a thing, His Majesty has not implicated the Xiao family, it is already a kindness! You're crying here, it's better to pray for the concubine Niangniang and let her wake up early! Xiao Yu was upset by Xiao's mother's quarrel, and the pu fan used to relieve the heat was also thrown on the table by him. Although he scolded the rebel in his mouth, in his heart, he didn't believe that Xiao Zhuo would do such a thing as assassinating the concubine. But the question is that the people present at the time, who can prove that it was not Xiao Zhuo's doing! Yuwen Chengdu? It is said that when Yuwen Chengdu was called by Gong'e to rescue the driver, the dagger had already been inserted into Zhu Guier's body, and Yuwen Chengdu neither saw that it was Xiao Zhuo who committed the murder, nor did he see that it was not Xiao Zhuo, but at that time, the closest and easiest person to Zhu Guier was Xiao Zhuo. Coupled with the two maids of Qingfangyuan, everyone identified Xiao Zhuo as the murderer! In this way, Xiao Zhuo will not escape suspicion no matter what, in this case, His Majesty did not correct Xiao Zhuo on the spot, it can be regarded as giving face to the Xiao family!

However, things are not completely unturned, and the only person who can prove Xiao Zhuo's innocence is actually one more, and that is Zhu Guier himself. But the problem is that Zhu Gui'er is now unconscious, and the medicine stone is useless, which caused Long Yan to be furious, and ordered the Criminal Department to handle the case as soon as possible. So Xiao Yu now only hopes that Xiao Zhuo can survive the torture in the prison, and at the same time prays that Zhu Gui'er can wake up sooner!

"Father, fourth brother...... Is there any salvation? Xiao Rui, as the son of the Xiao family, stood up at such a moment and asked the questions that everyone was most concerned about.

"Look at the providence! If the concubine can wake up, there will be a glimmer of life. Rui'er, you go to the palace immediately to see your aunt and ask what is going on. Kai'er, you rush to Yuwen Mansion, go and ask General Yuwen for specific details, if possible, it is best to invite your Uncle Yuwen Shi. Hey...... Forget it, your father-in-law is not in the capital. Zhuo'er! I hope you have your own natural appearance, don't hold on! After Xiao Yu sighed, the people in the hall hadn't said anything, but Han Lingyu opened his mouth first.

"Daddy, don't worry, although my father is not in the capital, the Han family still has some connections in the capital, and my daughter-in-law will go back to the Han family." After Han Lingyu finished speaking, he was about to leave, but seeing that Xiao Yu was still worried, he stretched out his hand and patted the child next to him and said: "Ge'er, my mother went to my grandfather's house, you are obedient, accompany your grandfather at home, remember to be well-behaved, listen to your grandfather!" ”

"Hmm!" After Xiao Shouge agreed, he really ran to Xiao Yu's side, pulling the corners of Xiao Yu's clothes with his little hands, and Xiao Yu's face finally got better.

"Son! Where are you going? After Xiao Rui and Xiao Kai left, Xiao Ling also turned around and was about to leave, but in view of the fact that this was a bit rude, Xiao Mu hurriedly called out to him. But Xiao Lian didn't stop at all, and left words as he walked: "Father, mother, I'll go to Shangqingguan to find Yuan Tiangang." ”

"Sir?" Xiao Mu turned to ask Xiao Yu, but the latter turned his head away. Xiao's mother knew that Xiao Yu couldn't save face to invite Yuan Tiangang, so she stimulated Xiao Yu to invite. After all, he used to be the group of people who hated Yuan Tiangang the most. It was only later that his son also entered the Daomen, and he barely had a good impression, but it was far from impressing him, so that he lowered his posture to the point of asking.

"How? The pain of this world may destroy your half-immortal body? ”

In the prison of the Criminal Department, Xiao Zhuo was lying on the ground dying, the wounds around his body were poked by the protruding thatch on the ground, and Xiao Zhuo's body trembled for a while, but he didn't have the strength to turn over and avoid it. The interrogation of the Criminal Department on this day was nothing to Xiao Zhuo, after all, he was also a half-immortal body, as long as he did not destroy his existing immortal base, it would not be difficult to recover any flesh and skin damage on his body. But when he was interrogated today, a person came halfway, and after this person came, the punishment of Xiao Zhuo by the Criminal Department has also completely changed, and the previous torture methods that only hurt the flesh and skin have been replaced with various techniques to seal acupoints and close the pulse, so that the foundation of Xiao Zhuo's half-immortal has also collapsed.

"You taught them the punishment?" Xiao Zhuo trembled, but no one could tell whether this tremor came from physical pain or inner anger. And beside him, a woman dressed in a gorgeous costume was standing quietly, but this woman didn't seem to have any sympathy for Xiao Zhuo's situation.

"Xiao Zhuo, now that your foundation has been destroyed, there is no threat to me, I don't mind sparing your life, if you want, I can let you live this life as a mortal!" The woman's jade fingers gently hooked, and an orange halo suddenly enveloped Xiao Zhuo and pulled him up.

"What about the conditions?" Although Xiao Zhuo knew that his life and death were in the hands of the queen, he didn't believe that someone who dared to be so ruthless to himself would let himself live for no reason at this time.

"I want you to go to Yuan Tiangang to help me get back Yue'er's remnant soul! If you agree, I will let Gui'er wake up and give you a clean slate. Of course, if you don't agree, I also want to see how Yuan Tiangang will save you in this life! ”

"Hmph...... Well! Xiao Zhuo laughed miserably, but this small action caused a pain in the whole body. I don't need you to repay my innocence! ”

"Then your cultivation in this life will end here." Xiao Meiniang's fingers let go slightly, Xiao Zhuo immediately fell to the ground again, the pain in the heart hit again, and Xiao Zhuo finally couldn't help but scream. But his voice did not attract the jailer's scrutiny, and it seemed that any sound in this space could not be transmitted.

"What is the grudge between you and me?" Xiao Zhuo couldn't help but ask, he believed that Xiao Meiniang understood that he should not be asking about the grievances of this life. And for the events of his past life, he also wanted to know what had happened.

"What's the grudge?" For some reason, when Xiao Meiniang said this, her tone seemed to be much gentler. "Speaking of which, you don't have much enmity with me, and you even have some kindness to me. If it weren't for your two brothers back then, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of natural enemies. ”

When Xiao Meiniang said this, she squatted down unexpectedly, and then stroked Xiao Zhuo's body with her hand, and Xiao Zhuo's pain was also reduced a lot.

"But you shouldn't, you two shouldn't have killed my husband and killed my children after being degraded to the world!" At this point, Xiao Meiniang's jade fingers instantly turned into sharp claws, but after trembling slightly a few times, she still couldn't catch it after all.

"Senior brother and me?" Xiao Zhuo was also shocked, there is no hatred in the world for no reason, thinking back to Xiao Meiniang's attitude towards him and Yuan Tiangang at the beginning, and her current attitude, it seems that he and Yuan Tiangang have finally touched the scale of Xiao Meiniang's heart, otherwise why use such means to deal with themselves?

"It's been more than a thousand years ago, so you naturally don't know, back then, before I cultivated to the realm of transformation, I was pursued by natural enemies and accidentally escaped to your cultivation place. If you hadn't come to my rescue, I would have died. Later, when I saw that you had not left, and for my own safety, I walked around you every day to listen to you discuss all kinds of Taoist thaumaturgy, and it was also during that time that my cultivation made rapid progress. Xiao Meiniang looked at Xiao Zhuo lying on the ground in a calm tone, how should this person who has kindness and hatred for herself be dealt with, she has made choices in every life, and the result of each life is much the same, after all, good and evil are not separated? Or is the way of the world not up to man?

"It's a pity that you left! And after you left, I am afraid that you yourself did not expect that the stone you sat on and talked about the world would have a fairy root from then on, attracting the covetousness of countless demons and monsters in the world. It was also during that time that I became acquainted with my husband, but our desire to possess the spirit stone prompted us to defeat other pretenders, and I embarked on the path of demon cultivation! Xiao Meiniang stretched out her hand, and the moonlight that came in through the window shone on her hand, she turned her head to look, and the originally pretty figure disappeared, leaving only an orange cat looking at Xiao Zhuo in place. And as Xiao Meiniang turned into her original form, scenes appeared in front of Xiao Zhuo's eyes.

In the picture, two men sit in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers discussing something, sometimes the two of them are calculating, and sometimes using spiritual power to depict various magic circles on the stone surface. Suddenly, the orange cat volleyed in, and one of the men was about to stop it, but was picked up by another man in the air and hugged into his arms, and for the hyena that was chasing him, the man flicked his sleeves and rolled it into the water. Then I heard the man say, "Senior brother, you miscalculated here!" Then the two of them continued to calculate. In the time that followed, the orange cat appeared between the two of them, sometimes sitting motionless, sometimes jumping into the arms of one of them to take a nap, and sometimes, when the little orange cat just woke up and habitually stretched his waist or wanted to sharpen his paws, he always caught the two of them having to stop talking for a while.

Time flies, and finally one day the two of them are gone, and they don't say hello to the orange cat, leaving only the big rock where the two have been sitting for a long time. The orange cat jumped up again, lying on one side, and whenever there was any wind around it, it would wake up alertly, thinking they were back, but then disappointed again and again. Finally, this time it heard real movement, but just as she was about to jump, it was a mountain leopard that jumped into her eyes. The two animals glared angrily, and refused to give in to each other, and in the end, the orange cat sacrificed Yuan Dan and decided to fight to the death, and did not want to give up the boulder to others. Fortunately, in the end, it won, and although it was seriously injured itself, at least it could lick its wounds on this stone!

But after all, it could not win every time, and after several threats, it encountered a black bobcat, which was so much stronger than her that she could not defeat it with spirit stones. So, it fell, on the spirit stone it had been trying to guard! However, when it woke up again, it found that it had not been killed or driven away, and it was still lying on the spirit stone, but there was another black lynx beside it.
