There was silence in the first hall, except for a few flickering fires, illuminating the darkness.

Xie Fuyao stood up and stroked the bumps on the wall, as if only in this way could he feel the existence of his life.

Through the number of times Xiangtai delivered food, Xie Fuyao can probably calculate that he should have been here for seven days.

Seven days of imprisonment is enough to consume a person's mind, and perhaps this is the terrible thing about Sui Chutang.

Compared to the torture of the Punishment Division, the silence and darkness here are the most torturous.

I don't know what happened to Ziyun now, I hope Cui Chen can think of a way to save her so that she doesn't have to suffer from punishment.

In the past few days, Xie Fuyao has thought about a lot of things, both in his past life and in this life, but more of it is Wei Jingyao.

Speaking of Wei Jingyao, Xie Fuyao's heart couldn't help but warm a lot, now he should still be trying his best to find out the truth of the matter, he is trapped here is lazy.

Although searching the pharmacy is a tricky matter, it is not so difficult to fall into the hands of Hua Jinxiu.

Over the years, she has traveled north and south to do business, and has business dealings with many merchants.

Especially the shops in the capital, more or less have to sell to Hua Jinxiu a face.

After only a few days, I found the shop that sold those medicinal herbs during those suspicious days.

Through the testimony of the shopkeeper of Renxintang, their middleman was found, that is, Steward Yang, who was in charge of purchasing out of the palace.

Xiangtai interrogated Steward Yang carefully, and what he spit out was exactly the same as everyone guessed, that is, he secretly carried private goods every time he bought.

And the old eunuch Chen Gonggong in the Imperial Medical Department is the one who gives him money every time to buy something.

Wei Jingyao ordered Gonggong Chen to be arrested, and before he could be interrogated, Gonggong Chen shook everything out because he was afraid of torture.

Yong'an Palace.

Wei Jingyao sat in the hall and watched intently as Xiangtai presented his confession.

"I heard that the final result has come out, how about it, who is it? Cui Chen was a little impatient standing below.

"Noble Jin, Zhang Jinyan. Wei Jingyao's thin lips opened slightly, and he said the name on the testimony.

"Noble Jin, I don't know you. Cui Chen thought about the name in his mind, but he didn't have a deep impression.

"Oh, I remembered, is it the one who is often with Yuan Guifei and likes to pat on the back. ”

"Your assessment is really ...... Particularly. The corners of Wei Jingyao's mouth twitched, but he didn't think of any reason to refute.

"The murderer has been found, hurry up and give the order to release people, why are you sullen. Cui Chen looked at Wei Jingyao's expression and wondered.

"I have already sent my testimony to the Queen Mother, and if there is no objection, I can release her. Wei Jingyao's sword eyebrows narrowed slightly, and he paused.

"I don't know why, I always feel that the noble Jin doesn't look like a murderer, that old eunuch has been cautious in the palace all his life, why should he risk it for her. ”

"Your Majesty, I see that you are just thinking too much, since the matter has been successfully resolved, isn't it just right?"

Cui Chen shook his head, very disgusted by Wei Jingyao's reaction.

Just as he was about to retreat, a dark shadow flashed in front of him, startling him and quickly taking two steps back, "There are assassins." ”

Before Cui Chen finished speaking, the assassin landed firmly beside him and gave Wei Jingyao a big salute.

"Your Majesty, this is the movement of the harem ladies in the past five days, please take a look at ......the emperor," Xuanyi said, and presented a booklet with both hands.

Wei Jingyao looked at the contents of the booklet, these few yen concubines and Jin nobles seemed to be very close, and they had to meet almost every day, which was really unusual.

It is indeed not easy for a single Jin nobleman to complete this, is she just a shield for the murderer behind the scenes, and the real murderer is Hua Ran.

"Stand down. Wei Jingyao's thoughts were a little messy, he waved his hand to signal that Xuan Yi could retreat, Xuan Yi hesitated, knelt in place and did not move,

"What's the matter, is there anything else?" Wei Jingyao saw that something was wrong with Xuanyi, as if he had something to say to himself, "There are no outsiders here, but it's okay to say it." ”

"Yesterday, Boss...... No, that Liang Commander seemed to have gone to the Changxu Palace, as if he was looking for something. ”

Xuanyi didn't know whether to tell the emperor about this, but when he thought that this was his profession, he still said it.

"Liang Rui, go to Changxu Palace?" Cui Chen was so shocked that his jaw almost fell when he heard this.

No, doesn't Liang Rui like Concubine Ying, when did he become interested in that fierce Yuan Guifei, of course, he can't say these words to Wei Jingyao.

"You can't be mistaken, what is Liang Rui going to do there. Cui Chen glanced at Xuan Yi.

"It's also possible that I'm wrong. Xuan Yi hurriedly said, looking at Wei Jingyao's face, he couldn't help but secretly regret it in his heart.

"Xiangtai, Xuan Liangrui come here, you guys should retreat first. Wei Jingyao's fingers were on the golden silk nanmu table, and he clasped them for a while.

Liang Rui wouldn't be so reckless, could he have found something......

Looking at Wei Jingyao's low aura, Cui Chen didn't dare to say anything and retreated silently, and now he could only let Liang Rui ask for more blessings.

Wei Jingyao looked at Liang Rui standing in front of him, just like when he first met him, with a cold air that no one should approach.

"I heard that you went to the Changxu Palace, did you find anything?"

"Yes. Liang Rui was not surprised by Wei Jingyao's question, it was obvious that he had expected Wei Jingyao to know.

"What was found. Wei Jingyao looked at the person in front of him with interest.

He really couldn't think of anything that Liang Rui could have to do with Hua Ran, could it be related to Hua Taishi.

"Sorry, it's my private business. Liang Rui didn't mean to answer.

"Commander Jin Yuwei trespassed into the harem, you should know what the crime is. Wei Jingyao opened his mouth coldly, like a golden stone and a jade.

"Weichen is guilty, please punish the emperor. Liang Rui knelt on one knee and arched his hand at Wei Jingyao.

"Liang Rui, I see that your courage is getting bigger and bigger. Wei Jingyao's eyes narrowed slightly, and seeing that Liang Rui did not refute, he continued to speak.

"That's fine, as long as you tell the truth of this matter, I will spare you this time. ”

"Your Majesty, it is inconvenient for Weichen to speak. Liang Rui said stubbornly.

"If you don't say it, then let me guess. Wei Jingyao said reluctantly.

"There are not many people who let you take risks, one of them is your second brother Tian Hu, is this matter related to him. ”

Looking at Liang Rui's slightly stiff expression, Wei Jingyao knew that he had guessed correctly, but Liang Rui had no intention of continuing.

Wei Jingyao suddenly found that it was indeed not easy to communicate with Liang Rui, and it was too difficult to ask something in the face of such a piece of wood.
