After asking all the way, everyone answered that they didn't have the slightest intention, and it was naturally the same when they came to Gu Xici, the eunuch was ready, and he registered at will and went down, but he didn't expect to stand in place for a long time and didn't hear a reply.

The eunuch frowned, and when he looked up, he saw that Gu Xici was leaning on Chu Jin's arms half-dead, and he didn't hear his question at all, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.

And Chu Jin, who was sitting next to him, intimately resigned Gu Xi to himself and leaned on him again.

"Xici is not feeling well, go, find the maid of Miss Gu Jiasan, and let her tell her about his young lady's movements yesterday." The queen looked at Gu Xici and felt a little distressed, and took the initiative to propose.

The emperor looked at Gu Xici's appearance and nodded in agreement.

And Gu Xici, who was leaning on Chu Jin's arms, was so sleepy just now that his eyes couldn't help but close, and he could only vaguely hear some words like "last night" and "maid", and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

"Yes!" The eunuch asked the little eunuch next to him to bring Xiaohong, and he asked about the situation first.

Soon Xiaohong was pulled in front of everyone, her head hung down, and her body kept shaking.

"Are you Xici's maid?" The queen asked, glancing at the man in the middle of the clearing.

Xiaohong raised her eyes slightly, glanced at the queen, lowered her head again, and nodded slightly.

Everyone's eyes were on Xiaohong, and the queen looked at her sincere and frightened appearance, and couldn't help but relax her tone, and asked kindly, "Where was your young lady last night?" Is it with you? You say it well, nothing to be afraid of. ”

Although the queen said so, looking at Xiaohong's appearance, she seemed to be even more nervous, and she stammered: "Slave...... Slave ......"

"Don't say it yet! With the queen here to support you, what are you afraid of! General Pingyuan stood aside and said angrily.

Xiaohong was startled by General Pingyuan's roar, and immediately knelt down, her eyes full of tears.

General Pingyuan was very impatient, this Xiaohong seemed to him to be in the same group as Gu Xici, even if Gu Xici was not in the account last night, this maid would definitely help her cover up. has said that she is a personal maid, and she must be speaking for her master.

General Pingyuan's voice also woke up Gu Xici, his eyes were confused, and he looked at the person kneeling in the middle, who seemed to be Xiaohong.

"It's your turn to ask questions just now, and after seeing that you didn't wake up your mother, I found your personal maid Xiaohong, how is it, are you still uncomfortable?" Chu Jin's attention was always on Gu Xici, and when he saw that she was awake, he immediately asked.

"Did she just say something again?" Gu Xici didn't have the strength to get up, and her whole body leaned on Chu Jin, but she looked at Xiaohong, but she had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Queen Mother, the courtier went to look for the third sister last night, but she was not in the room." It was Gu Wanqing who spoke. I saw her take a blessing to the emperor and queen, and said slowly.

"Yes, I also went to find the third sister, but there was no one in her account." Gu Huaqing also stood up and helped Gu Wanqing prove it.

Hearing the words of these two people, General Pingyuan's face was overjoyed, so she must be that assassin didn't run away, and now there are two people to prove that it is much more reliable than that Xiaohong!

And Gu Wanqing and Gu Huaqing's words made everyone doubt Gu Xici. Gu Wanqing, as the daughter of the prime minister and the future crown princess, what she said was naturally convincing, and there was another witness, and it was impossible to deceive people.

Gu Xici looked at the gazes of the people around her, and couldn't help sneering, "Where was I last night, don't you know second sister?" ”

She sat up forcefully, and Chu Jin next to her worriedly hugged her body and asked her to sit up straight. Gu Xici's face was pale at this time, and her bangs were already wet with sweat, and this appearance did not have the appearance of an official eunuch at all. But the words that came out of her mouth carried a hint of coldness, and her cold eyes made the people around her quiet a lot.

Gu Huaqing didn't expect Gu Xici to involve this matter on himself, his expression was panicked, and he unconsciously looked at Gu Wanqing next to him.

Gu Wanqing frowned, looking at Gu Huaqing's expression a little strange.

"You talk nonsense! How will I know where you have been! Gu Huaqing insisted that he didn't know, but he didn't dare to look directly into Gu Xici's eyes, and said with some slush: "I was with my maid Dongmei all night last night, I don't believe you can ask her, she can testify!" ”

Gu Xici sneered, and before she could speak, the person next to her said her thoughts: "You will say that it is your maid, naturally he will say whatever you say!" ”

Chu Jin couldn't bear it when he saw that every word Gu Xici said was so hard, and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, reassuring her.

Gu Huaqing still wanted to refute, but he saw that Gu Xici was staring at her, and made a lip gesture at her, and those three words were like "Xiaolin." ”

Gu Huaqing was shocked, he didn't expect Gu Xici to know about this matter and use this matter to blackmail her! Shameless! Gu Huaqing scolded in his heart.

"Gu Huaqing, did you really not see her in her tent last night?" The emperor was sitting, looking at Gu Huaqing and asked coldly.

She didn't expect the emperor to come to ask in person, and she wanted to nod but remembered the "grove" that Gu Xici had just said. She stood in place as if she had been pointed, until Gu Wanqing, who was standing beside her, pulled her sleeve and urged, "You should say it quickly!" ”

"I ......" Gu Huaqing hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, "The courtiers don't know, it was the courtiers who remembered it wrong, I was the third sister I went to find the day before yesterday, not last night!" ”

Gu Xici hooked the corners of her mouth, she expected that Gu Huaqing would not let her tell her about Xiaolin, her plan fell through that day, but she was reversed by the army, she would not dare to say such a bad thing, and with her temperament, more is better than less.

Seeing that Gu Huaqing was also so useless, General Pingyuan couldn't help it, stood up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen remembers that King Zhao fought with that person last night, and he also took off his face scarf, and saw what he looked like at that moment!" ”

"Is that so?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

Hearing this, Chu Xun and Chu Yu's eyes couldn't help but narrow, the two of them each had a ghost, and the moment their eyes met, they dispersed.

Chu Xun fanned his fan and asked as if watching a good show, "Fifth brother, why didn't you say it earlier, how does the assassin look?" ”

The emperor also asked, "Jin'er, have you seen the appearance of that person?" Is he among us, get him out! ”

Gu Xici suddenly remembered that he was picked off the face towel by Chu Jin last night, and his heart tightened, and the hand holding Chu Jin's arm couldn't help but tighten.

Chu Jin looked down at her, and Gu Xici knew that he was out of shape, and let go of his hand again.

"It's okay, you hold on, it's better than you bite your lip!" Chu Jin whispered in her ear.

Gu Xici didn't notice it herself, and she didn't know when it started, so she bit her lower lip tightly. If it weren't for that, she might have swapped out the pain a long time ago.

The wound on her back was covered by a layer of fake skin, which was done for her yesterday by Qianmian Langjun, in order not to let the people around her see that she was injured. This skin is of course good, but from last night to now, it has been sticking to her back, although the wound on her back has been medicated, but it can't stand such stuffiness, and some purulent wounds make her even more uncomfortable.

"Jin'er!" The emperor couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw him pounce on Gu Xici.

Chu Jin was not worried that Gu Xici was sitting alone, carefully helped her up, and said unhurriedly: "Back to my father, my son did tear off her face towel last night, and I also saw a little ......."

"So who is that person?" Chu Yu was already a little impatient.

Gu Xici also tried to concentrate, she didn't know if Chu Jin had seen her clearly last night, and she was a little worried that she would hear her name from the other party's mouth after a while.

Chu Jin paused for a moment, then said, "Erchen didn't see the assassin's appearance clearly, he only knew that she was a woman. ”

Everyone present couldn't help but sigh because of this, but Gu Xici, who was beside Chu Jin, breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yu's eyes flickered, his frowning brows expanded, and the hand holding the teacup was slightly released.

But Chu Xun didn't give up, and asked: "Fifth brother, you are recalling it well, haven't you really seen it clearly?" Or did you see some of her features? ”

Chu Yu sat on the seat and drank tea leisurely, Chu Jin shook his head, looked at Chu Xun with innocent purple eyes, and said sincerely: "I really didn't see it, it was so dark at that time, she was wearing a black dress again, she could only distinguish between men and women, and she couldn't see clearly." ”

Gu Xici's heart completely fell back into his stomach. She lowered her eyes, fortunately Chu Jin's night vision ability was not as good as her own, if it weren't for talking to him, maybe Chu Jin wouldn't have found out that she was actually a woman.

But no matter what, now that Chu Jin didn't see him, this matter was finally hidden.

And at this moment, Xiaohong, who had long been forgotten by everyone, suddenly stood up, her voice was still full of fear, she turned around tremblingly, looked at Gu Xici who was leaning on Chu Jin's arms, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Emperor...... Your Majesty, the slave was not with Miss last night! Miss didn't return last night, and I don't know where she went! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned.

No one thought that Xiaohong would bite her master back at this time, let alone that Gu Xici might really be that assassin.

When General Pingyuan heard this, he immediately rushed forward and grabbed Xiaohong's hand, and shouted loudly: "Is what you just said true?" Quick, say it again to the emperor! ”

Xiaohong's eyes were already red, her eyes were full of tears, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Xici at all, looking like she had been bullied for a long time.

"Slave, slave didn't see Miss last night, Miss is not in her account!"

got a satisfactory answer, and General Pingyuan's hand holding Xiaohong also let go. And Xiaohong also fell to the ground because of the loss of strength.

"Please ask the emperor to investigate!" General Pingyuan arched his hand towards the emperor, the corners of his mouth rose, and his eyes also fell on Gu Xici.

Just now Chu Jin said that the assassin was a woman, and Gu Xici's maid said that she didn't know where she went last night, and because of General Pingyuan's speculation, at this moment, she must be among everyone, and all kinds of signs indicate that Gu Xici is the assassin.

For a moment, everyone looked at Gu Xici with frightened expressions.

"We had captured this woman in the paddock before, and according to this maid and King Zhao, this Gu Xici is very suspicious! Please ask the emperor to decree that the ministers will arrest her! General Pingyuan said proudly.

Now Gu Xici has become the target of public criticism, originally everyone was very suspicious of her, and now with the addition of the capture in the paddock, everyone is even more afraid of this woman.

The people who were originally standing next to Gu Xici stepped back one after another, for fear that Gu Xici would attack him. In the entire clearing, Gu Xici and Chu Jin stood alone together, and the people around them were almost a foot away from them.

And Li Mengyi's mother and daughter were even more exaggerated, looking at Gu Xici's eyes with fear, the two retreated to the outermost part of the crowd, and pulled a few soldiers in front of them.

Gu Xici stared at Xiaohong and couldn't help but sneer.

I can't imagine that I will die on betrayal again. Originally, everything was saved by her, but after a thousand calculations, she didn't expect Xiaohong to suddenly confess herself at this time.

It seems that she has really become an outcast in the Netherworld.

Before the emperor could give an order, General Pingyuan had already taken out his sword without taking his own initiative, stared at Gu Xici and shouted, "Come on, protect His Royal Highness King Zhao and take down this demon girl!" ”

Hearing General Pingyuan say this, everyone remembered that next to this assassin, there was still Chu Jin standing.

Seeing that the soldiers were ready to make a move towards Gu Xici, the empress and the emperor were so frightened that they immediately stood up from their positions, "Slow, don't move!" ”

The queen was also anxious beside her, "Jin'er, you let her go quickly!" Come back soon! ”

The soldiers had already aimed their swords at Gu Xici, because the emperor's order stopped again.

Even Gu Huaqing, who had just drilled back, didn't care about his own safety at this time, rushed to the front and shouted to Chu Jin: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, you quickly let go of her, that demon girl may hurt you!" ”

It's just that everyone's persuasion did not make Chu Jin let go, but instead hugged Gu Xici in his arms tighter.

"Jin'er, what's wrong with you! Let her go! The queen was sweating in a hurry, and she was holding the emperor's arm but didn't know what to do.

Chu Jin didn't care about everyone's persuasion at all, but directly held Princess Gu Xici in his arms and walked straight towards the place where the emperor was.

The soldiers didn't dare to move, so they could only follow behind Chu Jin with their weapons, in case Gu Xi resigned.

"What are you all doing, not escorting!" Seeing Chu Jin holding Gu Xici closer and closer to the emperor, General Pingyuan shouted.

"Father!" Chu Jin stopped at a distance of a zhang from the emperor, and looked at the queen next to him, "Queen Mother!" ”

Chu Jin's voice was loud, and in their impressions, King Zhao had never passed by like this.

"Jin'er, what are you still holding her for! Hurry up and put it down! The queen also kept stepping back, looking at Gu Xici's eyes full of horror.

"Queen Mother, you just checked Ci'er's body personally, and she doesn't have any scars on her back, do you?" Chu Jin looked at the queen and asked, "Since her back is not injured, how can you determine that she is an assassin?" Just because she wasn't in the room last night? ”
