As soon as the words fell, everyone began to talk about it, of course, they had basically heard about it, but it was just hearsay, and there was no empirical evidence, but now the emperor announced it in public, which not only made people feel panicked. I'm afraid that the stern-clad and serious-looking soldiers around here are not just for them to pay careful attention, right?

The great eunuch paused deliberately before continuing, "The emperor judged that the assassin was very likely to be hiding in the ......" In an instant, everyone's hearts hung high, and the great eunuch raised his delicate orchid finger, "Among everyone!" ”

Everyone immediately became agitated, and several powerful old ministers were even more anxious to show their loyalty, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty! Lao Chen has nothing to do with this matter! The old minister has been an official in the court for decades, and he has been conscientious and respectful for many years, and he has never dared to relax his political investigation and treachery! ”

"Your Majesty! The minister is also innocent! Even if he has the courage to do this, the minister will never dare to do such a sinful thing that is intolerable to heaven! Emperor! ”

"Your Majesty! This matter is definitely not the business of the ministers! ”

……

A group of courtiers over there knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, their heads banged, and all the women here saw that their fathers and lords were like this, and they quickly knelt down, crying in a mess.

Although Gu Xici knelt down together, he turned his head to look, and it was estimated that she was the only one on the side of the entire female dependent, Gu Wanqing and Gu Huaqing both followed Li Mengyi to hide their faces and cry. Gu Wanqing was crying, and secretly looked at the crown prince Chu Yu, Chu Yu turned his face, a little impatient with Gu Wanqing's constantly pleading eyes, and finally walked to the emperor's side and whispered a few words.

The emperor glanced at the big eunuch with some unhappiness, and the big eunuch immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "This move of the Holy Lord is also for the safety of your lords, all the ministers are the pillars of my dynasty, and no matter which minister is injured, it will be a huge loss." Your Majesty's summoning of your lordships is not to ask for guilt, but you must not be mistaken for Your Majesty's intentions, so let's hurry up. ”

When the ministers heard this, they helped each other to get up from the ground, many of them were covered with grass clippings and mud on their heads, and Gu Yuan's forehead was directly broken with skin, and the blood was stained with mud, which was quite embarrassing.

Gu Xici glanced at him, and secretly sighed in his heart, this old thing really did his best for his future.

The great eunuch's voice was high-pitched, "However, all those who participated in the hunting competition today should bring their bows and arrows to the front, and ask someone to compare and test them one by one." ”

Many of them had just returned from the hunting grounds, and their bows and arrows were still on their bodies, so they handed over their belongings.

Gu Xici's things were still in Chu Jin's place, and the eunuch in charge of this matter asked about it, so he quickly called a small soldier to go to Chu Jin's tent to get them.

Gu Xici's eyes flashed slightly, and Chu Jin suddenly approached and asked, "Can you take it?" ”

She laughed, "Of course you can, what's not to do." ”

In this situation, if you don't let them take it, won't it make others feel that they are empty-hearted? How could she refuse?

All she could do now was think about how she would be rounded up when they saw those things, and that important mask.

It didn't take long for a pile of bows and arrows to be piled up in front of the clearing, and General Pingyuan held the three arrows left behind at that time in one hand, and on the other hand, he compared these bows and arrows one by one, and observed them very carefully, so that there would be nothing missing under his keen eyes.

He finished checking them one by one, squinted his eyes and asked, "All here?" ”

The soldier hurriedly replied, "General Hui, there are still some people who have been put back in the tent, and someone has been sent to get them just now?" ”

"What about hers?" General Pingyuan suddenly pointed at Gu Xici.

Gu Xici raised his eyes and looked back, this old thing was really troublesome, and he was still staring at her!

"I've already sent someone, I'll get it later."

As soon as the words fell, a small soldier ran over with a black bag, "General, this is Miss Gu San's package." ”

With a wave of his hand, General Pingyuan picked up the bottom of the black bag and poured everything out directly.

In addition to bows and arrows, there were also gold sore medicines, a few copper plates and other gadgets piled up, but one of them quickly attracted everyone's attention!

It glows with a faint silver glow in the sunlight.

General Pingyuan immediately snorted and smiled, and he reached out to pick up the delicate and thin half-face silver mask.

Everyone's eyes widened and they all gasped.

Silver masks, and assassins, isn't this the Silver Rakshasa Rakshasas!

Li Mengyi's mother and daughter, who were still standing beside Gu Xici, took a big step back in horror, and their eyes were even more complicated when they looked at Gu Xici.

"Your Majesty! General Pingyuan hurriedly reported, "The minister has made a major discovery!" ”

Emperor Chu Yingchen squinted his eyes slightly and looked coldly at the delicate mask for a while, "Jin'er, what do you think?" ”

Surprisingly, the emperor would suddenly mention Chu Jin at this time and ask for his opinion.

Chu Jin still didn't seem to understand, "What did the father ask about?" ”

Everyone has some disdain in their hearts, shouldn't this Zhao Wang Ye be stupid? Don't you know what you're asking? Of course, it's the silver-faced rakshasa! Do you still need to ask?

The Emperor prompted, "This mask ......"

Gu Xici suddenly said loudly, "This is not my thing. ”

The emperor was stunned, "You said this is not yours?" ”

General Pingyuan shouted directly, "If you say no, it's not?" How do you prove it! This thing is something that everyone has seen turn out of your package, can you deny it? ”

"The package is mine, but must the contents of this package be mine?" Gu Xici suddenly stepped on an arrow, and then kicked forward, General Pingyuan was directly angry, and grabbed it with his backhand, and the long arrow was already caught in his hand, "It's really presumptuous!" Dare to assassinate General Ben in front of everyone! Come on, arrest this demon girl for General Ben! ”

But when he heard Gu Xici, he said indifferently, "Now this arrow is in the hands of the general, and it is the general's thing." ”

"You!" General Pingyuan was angry, and the long arrow was broken into several pieces, "The big guys have seen it, it was you who kicked it over!" How dare you play such a trick! ”

"Did anyone see that I put this mask in it? How can you be sure that this thing must be mine? Gu Xici clapped his hands, his face was flat, and he looked back coldly, without fear.

"Your Majesty!"

The emperor was also a little difficult to deal with, "This matter is very important, it is indeed difficult to draw conclusions, and the matter of masks ......"

General Pingyuan was about to vomit blood in anger.

"This mask is beautiful, isn't it?" Chu Jin suddenly opened his mouth to say an inexplicable word, but the next words were even more shocking, Chu Jin said, "This mask is mine, and I also put it in Ci'er's package." This is a gift that Erchen prepared for her, originally to prepare a surprise, and there is also a mask of the same style here. ”

Jing Gao hurriedly sent a cloth package, and Chu Jin opened the cloth bag in front of everyone.

The crowd was even more amazed.

"This ...... What's going on? General Pingyuan rushed over directly, a pair of eyes and beads were about to fall out, staring at the thin silver mask in Chu Jin's hand, trying to find out the difference.

Not to mention General Pingyuan now, even Gu Xici himself was surprised, he ...... How could he have managed to make another silver mask that was almost identical to hers in such a short period of time?

"It's just something I bought to play with Ci'er." Chu Jin talked about the origin of this pair of masks with a calm and calm face, and then took the silver mask in his hand directly, half of his face was covered, leaving only a smooth and thin jawline, and the thin crimson lips became more and more colorful.

"This mask is based on the shape of my face, and the one I think is also suitable."

As soon as the emperor raised his eyes, the great eunuch immediately handed over the silver mask that had been sent to Gu Xici just now.

Gu Xici took the mask and put it on his face, and sure enough, the lines fit the shape of his face, which is very suitable.

In the midst of General Pingyuan's indignation, Chu Jin asked, "What else does the general want to ask?" ”

Everyone was confused, what was going on?

"Jin'er." When General Pingyuan was speechless by Chu Jin, who had always had an indifferent personality, the emperor suddenly spoke.

"Father, son-in-law." Chu Jin bowed in response.

The emperor had already seen everything, and his eyes were deep and shrewd, "Jin'er, this matter is very important, and it can't be a child's play." You have the heart to protect your future princess, and I am very happy, but if you can't come up with a statement that can really convince the public, you still can't. According to me......" The Emperor spoke, and after sweeping around the crowd, he said, "Then you will be responsible for the capture of the assassin!" In this way, not only can you restore the innocence of your future princess, but also solve this big trouble for me, what do you think? ”

Chu Yingchen has always cared for this son, and he has always paid attention to it, according to this child's maintenance of this girl, maybe he can really force Chu Jin to play his own skills. Perhaps, his son is stronger than he thinks?

"Erchen...... Compliance. ”

Chu Jin had no choice but to take the matter hard, and smiled bitterly in his heart, what choice did he have. In the end, it was the father who was far-sighted and did things with one stone.

"Well, that's it! Jin'er don't let me down. The Emperor laughed.

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, each with their own success.

Chu Xun stood up and asked the biggest question at the moment for everyone, "So do you have to continue to investigate today's matter?" ”

It's uncomfortable to bask in the sun like this in the scorching sun, not to mention such fanfare, which also makes people panic.

"General Pingyuan, do you think you still want to investigate?"

The emperor asked in person, and General Pingyuan's face turned blue for a while and red for a while, "The minister thinks it's still not necessary." ”

Although he really wanted to find some evidence from Gu Xici's bag, it was a pity that the three arrow feathers picked up at the scene at that time were gray bird feathers, but the arrows used by Gu Xici were white feathers.

The emperor also happened to be a little tired, so he said directly, "Even so, then today's matter will be over for the time being, and all of you Aiqing should go back and have a good rest, but you still have to be careful, lest the villains find opportunities that are not good for our Great Chu State." You must know that you are all indispensable talents in the Great Chu Kingdom, but you must be careful. ”

Although Chu Yingchen's words were not directly named, they had a deep meaning, which made the faces of the people who left the country on the side look bad.

Just like checking the suspects, they were directly called here to surround them, and at this moment, they were still pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, clearly wanting to say that this matter might be related to their departure from the country and others, which is simply slandering them! Is it tolerable or unbearable! Many soldiers were already gritting their teeth and clenching their swords in their hands.

Luqiu Xie Lan still shook his head lightly with a cold face, suggesting that everyone should not act rashly. After all, at this moment, it is still on someone else's territory, and if you really make a move, I am afraid that you will not be able to get a bargain. And they have already sent people to surround them at the moment, I am afraid that they have taken precautions early, not only will they not be able to take the lead, but with them, I am afraid that there is really no way to escape. If you want to achieve great things, you must naturally think twice before putting up with it!

Everyone quickly disbanded, but Li Mengyi couldn't help but peek at Gu Xici a few more times when they left, and his eyes were vigilant, even if Chu Jin personally came forward to testify for the state, that mask did not mean that she was a silver-faced rakshasa, but this still couldn't make them really settle down.

And one of the most frightened people is Gu Huaqing, several times when she met Gu Xici alone, she almost killed her, she still remembers that when she returned from the chrysanthemum banquet that day, Gu Xici directly put a dagger against her neck, although everyone didn't believe her that day, but she herself really experienced the sense of coerci and fear, so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe loudly, she was afraid that she would die in the next second!

If Gu Xici was confirmed on the spot today to be the assassin and the silver-faced rakshasa, Gu Huaqing might still be able to settle down, because everyone was afraid that she would definitely be arrested, and she would not be able to escape so many people no matter what, whether it was to be arrested and imprisoned, or to be solved on the spot!

But who would have expected that this matter would be easily avoided by her like this, which was no different from Gu Huaqing releasing an enemy who might kill her at any time.

It's just scary!

"What am I trying to do with this look?" Gu Xici suddenly turned his head and looked over, Gu Huaqing's heart didn't beat!

I didn't almost jump out of my throat!

Where does Gu Huaqing dare to answer, just run away!

Gu Huaqing touched his chin and sighed, it seems that this Gu family's genes are not bad, raised in the deep boudoir for more than ten years, can still run so fast, can have the potential of a second-level athlete, right?

"Why do you scare her?" Chu Jin came over at some point and handed her back her package.

Gu Xici silently took back the things, and suddenly said: "Since the prince said that he didn't look at it, then I naturally believe it." But how could the prince just prepare a silver mask? ”

"This shows that this king and you have a heart." Chu Jin said meaningfully, "This mask was put in by this king." ”

Okay, without asking anything, Gu Xici was speechless, "Okay, I want to thank you for your help just now." ”

If he hadn't suddenly stepped forward to help, they probably wouldn't have really believed what he said, and things would not have been resolved so easily. But thank you for that, the emperor just handed over the matter of arresting the assassin to him, which means that from now on Chu Jinke will be responsible for arresting himself, I really don't know if he will still have such a good face when he really knows that he is the assassin.

However, thinking that if her identity was revealed, there would inevitably be a gap between the two, Gu Xici suddenly felt a dull chest, like the heart of a rainy day, and he couldn't say that he was uncomfortable.

"Is there really nothing you want to ask?" Gu Xici looked up at him, although Chu Jin was sick and weak, he was very tall, much taller than Gu Xici, she had to tiptoe to reach his chin, and she could only see his face when she raised her head.

"Oh, what do you want this king to ask?" Chu Jin asked rhetorically, and raised his eyebrows with some interest.

Gu Xici laughed, "No, nothing, but if you don't ask, then I have a question for you." ”

"Then let's hear about it."

"For example, how can you just have the same silver mask ready? And what did you do in the grove that night? ”

Chu Jin looked at her and said, "I went to the grove because someone sent a letter to this king, saying where you are, and this king was quite worried that something would happen to you in the middle of the night when you were a weak woman, so I went over to take a look." ”

Gu Xici didn't plan to let it go easily, after all, the question she was more concerned about was the one in front, "What about the mask?" ”

His pink lips opened slightly, "Because of fate." ”

Gu Xici looked at the sky speechlessly, and wanted to give him a roll of the eyes, but he didn't know if he succeeded, such a garbage excuse is really worse than her General Pingyuan! It's a shame that he can say it.

"Your wound is not healed, go back and recuperate." Chu Jin stretched out his hand to mess up her hair when he was leaving, Gu Xici stood alone in the wind with a confused face, was he despising himself? And watching his movements feel so smooth is no different from when he touches a pet!
