It was late at night, everything was silent, the palace lamps were shaking in the autumn wind, and suddenly Chu Qing left the candle in the room and went out, and instantly fell into darkness.

Chu Qing was stunned, quickly sat up, looked around, and saw that there seemed to be a black shadow coming towards her, Chu Qing didn't want to take out the hairpin on his head as a weapon to attack.

However, the next moment, Chu Qingli's hand was immediately grasped by a warm hand.

What followed was a familiar smell that could not be familiar, Chu Qingli instantly unloaded his guard and buried himself in the arms of the person who came: "Why are you here!" ”

Xiao Pan didn't speak, he hugged Chu Qingli tightly, until Chu Qingli felt that he was about to lose his breath, Chu Qingli couldn't help but struggle slightly: "Lord Wang? ”

Xiao Pan replied in a low voice, and then said as if he was afraid that Chu Qingli hadn't heard it, and said, "It's me." ”

Chu Qingli was indeed a little helpless: "I naturally knew that it was you, and I would have stabbed it if it was someone else." ”

Xiao Pan was in a slightly better mood because of Chu Qingli's words, but he still didn't continue to speak.

Chu Qingli didn't wait for Xiao Pan to respond, so he hurriedly said to Xiao Pan about the things he thought of today: "Lord Wang, haven't you found that maid yet." ”

Xiao Pan in the dark was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a low voice for a long time: "Hmm." ”

Chu Qingli guessed that Xiao Pan would probably be anxious and lost because of this matter, Xiao Pan was afraid that she was more eager to clear up her disgust than herself, so Chu Qingli continued to speak: "Don't worry, we still have a place to search." ”

"The Imperial Palace."

"The Imperial Palace."

However, at the moment when Chu Qing left the mouth, Xiao Pan also spoke, and the two of them invariably talked about the palace, Chu Qingli couldn't help but smile slightly, it seemed that Xiao Pan thought the same as her.

Chu Qingli briefly talked about the situation when Zhao Huanting came to look for her in the afternoon, as well as her thoughts, after Xiao Pan listened, his thoughts were similar to Chu Qingli's, but he was not as sure as Chu Qingli, but there was only a glimmer of hope that Xiao Pan would also come to try his luck, so he came to the palace again tonight.

After listening to Chu Qingli's words, Xiao Pan felt a lot more confident in his heart, and his mood was not as low as when he saw Chu Qingli just now, so he immediately let go of Chu Qingli: "Since this is the case, I will take someone to search now, you are waiting for me here." Although Xiao Pan didn't want to let go of Chu Qingli yet, it was important.

Chu Qingli nodded and held Xiao Pan's hand: "Be careful in everything." With that, he let go of his hand.

Xiao Pan, just like when he came, didn't alarm anyone, and disappeared into the dark night like a ghost.

Chu Qingli looked at the direction Xiao Pan left, and stood stunned for a long time before stepping forward to close the window.

It seems that God is still not thin on her, otherwise she would not let Xiao Pan be sent to her, Chu Qingli smiled blankly, and then went back again, and then slept back with peace of mind, it seems that Xiao Pan and Chu Qingli have this magic power.

On the second day, Chu Qingli slept for a while before getting up, and after packing himself up, he was taken by the forbidden army to the main hall of the early dynasty, perhaps because he couldn't help Chu Qingli last night, and today the forbidden army told Chu Qingli some news.

"I heard that all the civil and military officials will be here today, and the little ones have all gone to inquire, and they all seem to support you." The forbidden army whispered in Chu Qingli's ear.

Chu Qingli couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking that it seemed that she was not unrewarded for being kind to those ladies, and it was a success to win people's hearts.

When Chu Qingli arrived at the main hall, sure enough, it was the same as what the small-faced forbidden army said, many officials had arrived, they looked at Chu Qingli with kind eyes, and Chu Qingli greeted them with a smile one by one.

"The Emperor has arrived—" The shrill voice of the eunuch who reported came.

The next moment, the grand voice sounded again: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

Chu Qingli also saluted with these people, and then the emperor's majestic voice came: "All the ministers are flat." ”

Chu Qingli got up with all the adults, Chu Qingli glanced at the emperor on the dragon chair, seeing that the emperor was expressionless, and couldn't guess the emperor's mood for a while, Chu Qingli withdrew his gaze, and then glanced around.

Chu Qing secretly calculated the positions of these officials, but he met the eyes of the second prince, and the second prince nodded slightly at Chu Qingli.

Chu Qingli immediately understood what the second prince meant, and put his heart back into his stomach completely, only then did he withdraw his glance, it seems that the emperor still didn't let Xiao Pan come, and wanted Xiao Pan to avoid suspicion.

But that's okay, if the emperor wants to prevent Xiao Pan from interfering in this matter, then she is unlucky, the emperor must condemn her, and Xiao Pan will not be involved, Chu Qingli really relaxed completely when he thought about it like this.

Then, as in the past, Commander Zhao still insisted on Chu Qingli's guilt theory, and provided new evidence, but there was no need for Chu Qingli to speak, as soon as Commander Zhao's words came out, there were many officials who spoke for Chu Qingli.

"Neiko said that it was the concubine Niangniang's hand that made the first move." A lot of people are saying things like this.

There is also an adult with a unique style: "Why do you say that it is Princess Mu, your daughter was also suspicious at the time, Miss Zhao was also suspicious, why is she not a suspect!" ”

Commander Zhao was speechless by what the adult said, and you didn't think of a rebuttal for a long time.

When the emperor saw that so many people were willing to help Chu Qingli speak, the balance in his heart had already thought that Chu Qingli was innocent, but as soon as he thought about it, his mind remembered that Shen Qiurong's pale face pleaded with him last night: "Your Majesty, please give your concubines an explanation." ”

Thinking of this, the emperor felt that his head was a little bigger, and now there were no other suspects, and the emperor had promised Shen Qiurong that he would catch the murderer today, and the emperor had no jokes, even if the murderer was not found today, he would slander and slander the murderer, and then he would be able to appease and appease the suspect's relatives in private.

This is all the emperor's thoughts, it's just that this unlucky person is Chu Qingli.

And Chu Qingli didn't know the emperor's thoughts yet, but even if she knew, Chu Qingli wouldn't be worried.

Then Shangshu of the Criminal Department took out the physical evidence, and then asked Chu Qingli to step forward, and Chu Qingli cooperated to step forward.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." After the criminal department Shangshu finished talking to the emperor, he said politely to Chu Qingli: "Princess Mu, please raise the palm of the injured hand that day for the emperor to see." ”

Hearing this, Chu Qingli made a mistake and showed the wound in the palm of his hand to the emperor, but after Chu Qingli's own recuperation, the palm of his hand was now scabbed, and it was not as hideous as when he was first injured.

Then the Shangshu of the Criminal Department emptily pointed at Chu Qingli's palm and explained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you refer to the evidence that you just handed you, you are thinking about it carefully. ”
