Through a screen, Su Zhici was lying on the bed, and he could also hear Xuanyuan Zichen's voice questioning Nuan Nuan on the other side.

She was originally worried that Xuanyuan Zichen didn't care, but now it seems that her only scruples are gone. Su Zhizhi was proud.

Xuanyuan Zichen is the majestic regent, how many people he has killed in his life, how can a little girl take it to heart, not to mention that this little girl also killed his unborn child. Su Zhici seemed to be able to think of the scene where Shen Liuyue knew that Nuan Nuan died under Xuanyuan Zichen's sword.

"I didn't."

Nuan Nuan knelt on the ground, trembling with fright.

Xuanyuan Zichen just asked lightly, and before she even had time to say a heavy word, Nuan Nuan had already felt the oppressive atmosphere in the room, forcing her to breathe.

"At that time, there were only you and another maid with the county lord, and the maid had no empty hands, so you supported the county lord, is this true?" Xuanyuan Zichen continued to ask.

What has not been done, even if there is no argument now, Nuan Nuan will not admit it.

The two talked back and forth for three or four sentences without progress, and Su Zhici began to be a little impatient.

She glanced at Xiao Tao, suggesting that Xiao Tao go out to fan the flames in the middle.

Xuanyuan Zichen leaned on the back of the seat and glanced at Nuan Nuan condescendingly.

Even if Nuan Nuan is now the murderer who wants to kill Su Zhici, Xuanyuan Zichen has no interest in knowing her.

Seeing Xiao Tao coming out from behind the screen, Xuanyuan Zichen lowered his eyes slightly.

"Lord, the princess has already slept." Xiao Tao whispered to Xuanyuan Zichen.

As soon as the words fell, Xuanyuan Zichen swept coldly towards Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao reacted immediately. In front of Xuanyuan Zichen, no one can be allowed to call Su Zhici "princess".

Su Zhici still couldn't enter Xuanyuan Zichen's heart, and he didn't even touch the door to enter.

"It must have been Nuan Nuan who pushed it down, the slave saw it with her own eyes." Xiao Tao changed the topic and began to get down to business. Today's purpose is to provoke Xuanyuan Zichen to kill Nuan Nuan with his own hands.

Xiao Tao is righteous in his words, and his tone is categorical. Nuan Nuan looked up and looked at Xiao Tao's eyes full of tears.

She never thought that the person she got along with every day during this time would frame her in front of her. Xiao Tao was hostile to her, and Nuan Nuan thought that she just couldn't get used to doing things by herself.

"I didn't, it was the princess who wanted to pick the flowers, I felt dangerous, so she wanted me to go, but she refused, grabbed me, and then I don't know what happened The princess fell into the lake." Nuan Nuan looked flustered and described the situation as it was.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The flowers in this back garden bloom as soon as they bloom, why does the county lord pick them? Moreover, when the county lord fell into the lake, there was a few steps away from the lake, and it was impossible for her to fall down by herself, someone must have pushed it. Nuan Nuan retorted angrily. After that, she looked Nuan Nuan up and down in disgust.

After arguing with Nuan Nuan, Xiao Tao turned sideways to face Xuanyuan Zichen.

"Lord Wang, you see, she still doesn't admit that she did something wrong, and she has no remorse at all. The slave maid thought that only by putting her to death could she return justice to the county lord. Xiao Tao snorted coldly, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Lord Wang, the county lord is pregnant, if this incident didn't happen today, she could still give birth to a little young master for you, and now there is nothing. A few days ago, the county lord asked the slave maid to buy some beautiful fabrics, and came back to make winter clothes for the children with his own hands. How sad she must have been without a child. ”

Xiao Tao saw that Xuanyuan Zichen's face was indifferent, and he didn't have an attitude for a long time, so he secretly urged again.

"It's really not a trivial matter to have property in the county." Xuanyuan Zichen spoke unhurriedly.

Nuan Nuan kept shaking her head, clarifying that she had no intention of persecuting Su Zhici. But the two people in front of her, one of them was not listening, but the other was clearer than her, and Su Zhici's fall into the lake had nothing to do with her.

"Where's your family?" Xuanyuan Zichen suddenly spoke, a pair of eyes staring at Nuan Nuan.

Not only Xiao Tao, but even Nuan Nuan was chuckling in his heart.

Nuan Nuan was afraid that Xuanyuan Zichen would know that Shen Liuyue was still alive, and Nuan Nuan was worried that this matter would affect Shen Liuyue.

"I don't have any family." Nuan Nuan lowered her head and gritted her teeth, and her heart jumped to her throat.

But don't let Xuanyuan Zichen find out that he's lying.

Xuanyuan Zichen raised his eyebrows, didn't answer anything, and quietly listened to Nuan Nuan say it.

"I have no father or mother, and it was my grandfather who picked me up and pulled me up. Later, my grandfather also passed away, and I was left alone. This time I came back to the palace to do an errand, just to support myself. Nuan Nuan told Xuanyuan Zichen about her family history, but she didn't mention that she met Shen Liuyue at all.

As she said, she has no relatives, and Shen Liuyue treats her like a relative. Since she couldn't tell what was right or wrong, and no one believed what she said, Nuan Nuan could only bless Xuanyuan Zichen and not punish Shen Liuyue together.

"It's a shame that the county lord is so good to you, seeing that you are thinly dressed, and he still gives you his own jacket to wear, how did you repay her?" Xiao Tao glared at Nuan Nuan viciously.

What Nuan Nuan was wearing was indeed Su Zhizi's clothes. This time, Nuan Nuan is even more speechless, and she can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

After all, who would have thought that Su Zhici would deliberately jump into the lake, just to place the fault on Nuan Nuan.

"Someone." Xuanyuan Zichen's voice was raised.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and two attendants entered.

"Take her to the backyard and lock her up first." Xuanyuan Zichen's tone was cold, and he couldn't hear the slightest emotion. 80

Only such a small punishment? Little Peach was surprised. According to Su Zhici's assumption, Xuanyuan Zichen should be furious and immediately execute Nuan Nuan. In this way, there is no way to find out the truth of the matter.

"Lord Wang, this ......" Xiao Tao hesitated, not knowing what to say.

She was afraid that if she said too much, Xuanyuan Zichen would be suspicious of Su Zhici.

"I still have something to deal with, I'll talk about it when I get back." Xuanyuan Zichen stood up and left, not looking at Xiao Tao from beginning to end.

Su Zhici heard Xuanyuan Zichen's words clearly through a screen.

Now that Nuan Nuan has fallen into his hands, the longer the time drags on, the easier it will be to be noticed by Shen Liuyue. In case the two reunited, Su Zhici didn't dare to imagine what would happen later.

It's already done this far, how can you waste all your efforts.

It was getting dark, and it was foggy outside, as if it was going to rain. Nuan Nuan hasn't come back yet, and Shen Liuyue has been at home for almost two hours.

She tugged at her heart for no reason, always worried that Nuan Nuan would be in danger.

"Nope." Shen Liuyue became more and more worried, she couldn't sit still anymore. Even if he is met by Xuanyuan Zichen today, he must receive Nuan Nuan.

Su Zhizi is not a good type, and Xuanyuan Zichen doesn't like to deal with things that don't matter. In case Su Zhici makes a move, Nuan Nuan will definitely be more auspicious.

Along the way, Shen Liuyue couldn't stop worrying.

Sure enough, it was raining outside, and Shen Liuyue's pace quickened. Normally, Nuan Nuan has never come back so late, not to mention that Shen Liuyue hasn't seen her yet.

The gate of the palace was closed, and the two guards at the door stood under the eaves, just to block the rain.

They held long swords in their hands and stood tall, complementing each other with the two stone lions not far away, showing the royal style even more.

"What are you doing?" One of the guards saw Shen Liuyue carrying the corner of her skirt up the steps, and hurriedly took two steps forward to stop her.

"I'm here to find someone, my sister is on an errand in the palace, it's too late, and it's raining outside, so I'm here to take her home." Shen Liuyue patiently explained to the guards.

The guards looked at Shen Liuyue and saw that she herself had become a chicken in the soup.

"This is the palace, not everyone can enter it." When the guards looked at Shen Liuyue, they didn't look like they could have a relationship with Xuanyuan Zichen. "If you don't have the permission of the prince, get out of the way."

The guards were impatient, and before Shen Liuyue could speak, he was ordered to be evicted.

But you can't just wait at the door, Shen Liuyue is still standing under the eaves, thinking about countermeasures while sheltering from the rain.

If he hadn't been discovered by the people in the mansion, and he wouldn't have made trouble in front of Xuanyuan Zichen, Shen Liuyue hadn't thought of a way to break his head.

The door creaked, and a head poked out of it.

"Let her in." Xiao Tao said to the two guards.

The guards naturally knew that Xiao Tao was Su Zhici's personal maid, and since she spoke, it was estimated that it was also Su Zhici's meaning.

Shen Liuyue entered the palace in a fog, and a sense of familiarity arose, she looked around, and couldn't help but have sour corners of her eyes.

There is really no change here, Xuanyuan Zichen has always been too lazy to take care of things that he is not interested in, and the decoration in the mansion was all done by Shen Liuyue in the past.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Liuyue only felt embarrassed.

"Where are you taking me?" From the moment she entered the palace, Xiao Tao followed her, and since she was the person next to Su Zhici, Shen Liuyue was more cautious.

I had heard Yingyi remind her before, so that she was wary of Su Zhizi. Shen Liuyue frowned. If it was Su Zhici's idea to come to the palace to do an errand, then Nuan Nuan would ...... now

"If you want to know where Nuan Nuan is now, come with me." Xiao Tao was very impatient, looking at Shen Liuyue's expression as if she was looking at something dirty.

Shen Liuyue was dismissive of Xiao Tao.

If she hadn't experienced those things halfway, when would it be Xiao Tao's turn to be despised. Shen Liuyue doesn't want to care about it now, all she thinks about is Nuan Nuan's safety.

Xiao Tao took Shen Liuyue around the road, walking all the remote paths. Shen Liuyue guessed Xiao Tao's thoughts, because she didn't want to be discovered. She was even more worried in her heart, lest Nuan Nuan was already in danger.

"Let's go inside." Xiao Tao turned sideways and made way for Shen Liuyue.

Unconsciously walked to the door of a room, Shen Liuyue carefully looked around. This should be the easternmost part of the palace, except for the occasional arrival of servants who put sundries, Xuanyuan Zichen almost never stepped into this courtyard.

Not good!

Shen Liuyue reacted, and was about to turn around and run away, when she was pushed into the room by a force.

She fell to the ground, and before she could get up, the door was firmly slammed shut.

Two strong men held wooden sticks and whips in their hands, staring at Shen Liuyue.

She wanted to scream, but someone had already stuffed a rag in her mouth.
