"Bang!" With a bang, just as the jailer was holding the iron brush and preparing to brush Gu Jinli's body, the prison door was kicked open.

Immediately after, a cold light flashed, and the jailer screamed "ah", "bang", which was the crisp sound of an iron brush and some sharp weapon falling to the ground.

The jailer, clutching the bleeding wound, looked palely at the severed bloody palm on the ground, and exclaimed, "Ah, my ...... My hands, my hands! ”

When Mrs. Yin and Guo Mingshun saw Qi Hao striding in in black, the two of them looked at each other, and their faces were extremely difficult to see.

"Lord Ning, what are you doing here??" Guo Mingshun glanced at the jailer who saw Qi Hao and shrank into the corner in fright, his voice full of displeasure.

Qi Hao didn't speak, he didn't even give Guo Mingshun and Mrs. Yin a look, but his eyes fell on Gu Jinli, who was already miserable, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched his fists tightly.

As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of blood.

If Gu Jinli hadn't been fixed on the shelf with iron chains at this time, she would have fallen into a pool of blood like a puddle of mud.

Qi Hao's heart hurts, hurts.

With every step he took, the smell of blood grew stronger.

As if walking on the tip of a knife, his steps became heavier and heavier, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he could not move more and more.

Standing a few steps away from Gu Jinli, he stopped.

He didn't dare to come any closer, because the further he went, the more he could see the countless hideous wounds on her body, as well as the bloody hole pierced by the iron hook......

His thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he turned his head and said coldly, "Untie up." ”

Mrs. Yin looked at the hidden anger and obvious distress on Qi Hao's face, and flicked his sleeves. Walking up to him, he said quietly: "Lord Ning, what do you mean?" ”

The candle flame on the table was still dancing, and the faint light reflected on Qi Hao's face, but it still couldn't fade the coldness that seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

He looked at Mrs. Yin deeply, and said slowly: "This matter is very strange, this king thinks that someone deliberately wants to borrow Gu Jinxiu's hand to ......."

"Enough!" Mrs. Yin's reaction was like that of Yin Suwan, and she couldn't hear a word of Qi Hao's defense for Gu Jinli, but she only thought that he was exculpating Gu Jinli, so she stiffened her neck and said angrily: "Qi Hao, you don't have to forget." Who harmed Wanwan's legs! ”

"Lin Er looks half-dead now, who did it! Our Yin family has a pair of children, because of who has become what they are now! ”

For so many years, with the relationship between Mrs. Yin and Qi Hao, it should not have come to the point of calling him by his name.

What's more, in addition to the intimate relationship between the two and son-in-law, they are also subordinate and subordinate in a certain sense.

Therefore, Mrs. Yin's shouting of Qi Hao with his name and surname is inevitably a bit of a crime.

Of course, this also means that he is indeed so angry that the more he talks, the more he goes too far.

"You touch your conscience and say, my Yin family has been in the family all these years. How is it for you? For you to saddle the horse and be loyal, for such a little slut, you did not hesitate to live up to Wanwan and the old man's efforts over the years? ”

Guo Mingshun stood aside, looked at Mrs. Yin's distressed face, and shook his head with a sigh to show his disappointment with Qi Hao.

However, he is not the Ningwang Party, nor is he the Xuanwang Party, and he can barely be regarded as Mingzhe to protect himself. A neutral who doesn't mix muddy waters.

"Mrs. Yin." In the same way, Qi Hao faced such a disproportionate Mrs. Yin, and the look between his eyebrows became more and more fierce.

"The dagger that stabbed Yin Ergongzi was not a thing in Beijing, so it can be seen that the identity of the murderer is not a local. Moreover, the murderer not only injured Yin Ergongzi, but also intended to put the charge on Gu Jinxiu, which is a plan to kill two birds with one stone! ”

"The purpose is to separate the king and Mrs. Yin, and deepen the hatred between the Yin family and the Gu family!"

After a pause, his tone was a little lower, "Taifu Yin is a smart person, and he shouldn't fall for that treacherous villain!" ”

Although these words didn't sound so comfortable, Qi Hao really mentioned a few words about Mrs. Yin out of good intentions.

However, when Mrs. Yin heard this, the anger in his heart was more like being poured a spoonful of oil, burning vigorously.

His old eyes glared at Qi Hao fiercely, and his voice raised a few points: "Don't care about Lin Er, just say Wanwan!" ”

"Wanwan's leg was broken and ruined, do you remember what you said to her?"

"You swore that in this life, you will definitely make Gu Jinxiu and the Gu family pay a heavy price!"

"But now, you're fascinated by this little vixen!"

is first a "little slut", and then a "little vixen", and a lot of things have happened in the Yin family one after another, which has made Mrs. Yin's temperament irritable, and sometimes even dirty, and his words and deeds are extremely inconsistent with his identity.

Qi Hao's face became more and more gloomy, he pursed his lips, and he no longer paid attention to Mrs. Yin.

Bypassing Mrs. Yin, he personally stepped forward to untie the chain on Gu Jinli's wrist.

"Lord Ning, although Gu Jinxiu is the side concubine in your house, but the country has national laws and family rules, if you visit the prison, it is absolutely impossible if you are favoritism!" Seeing this, Guo Mingshun hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

Qi Hao didn't pay attention to Guo Mingshun, seeing that the iron chain was still on Gu Jinli's shoulder blades, he didn't dare to move anymore, for fear of touching her wound.

Gently brushed away the messy hair that blocked Gu Jinli's face, and when he saw her with tears on her face, he couldn't help but be stunned.

When Gu Jinli broke into the door, her heart was almost sinking into the abyss, as if she had caught the sunshine and rain. Unconsciously ignited hope.

To be honest, she is a weak woman, if she is not stubborn in her temper, she really doesn't have the courage and perseverance to hold on.

From the moment she was brought in, she didn't pin her hopes on anyone.

Gu Huai, her father, a dignified prime minister, no matter how powerful he is, he can't resist Guo Mingshun and Mrs. Yin.

Gu Chengen was transferred to Jiyang, and he couldn't get rid of the near fire, how could he fly back with wings in the blink of an eye?

Chen Zexuan, this person's mind is unpredictable, she thinks that she is only a nodding friend with him, and it is impossible for him to offend the Yin family for his own sake.

As for Qi Hao......

She has always been self-aware, so she doesn't dare to ask for extravagance, and she doesn't dare to have any illusions about Qi Hao.

After all, between him and himself, there is a Yin Suwan and a Yin family.

How could he affect the relationship with the Yin family for his own sake?

How to say, in the face of the emperor's hegemony, women are always insignificant and negligible......

Perhaps, it is precisely because she knows that she will die today, so she has the mentality of seeing death as home, and will never bow her head to those two old things.

However, when his voice appeared at the door, she found her numb heart and beat unconsciously.

It's like spring flowers blooming and the earth is rejuvenating, and even his cold and hard voice is so warm to her ears......

The pain of the ten fingers of "execution" did not make her cry.

The pain of the long whip's scaly wounds did not make her cry.

Even the "hook punishment" that penetrated her flesh and bones was just to make her moan and cry out in pain.

However, Qi Hao's conversation with Mrs. Yin made her tears gush out uncontrollably.

The grievances, the fragility, and the physical and mental pain that they experienced may have erupted at this moment.

Biting her broken lip, she suppressed her voice to keep herself from crying.

Close your eyes and don't let the tears flow unbridled.

It's just that, with Qi Hao's movements, as he approached, the embarrassment covered by the messy hair was also exposed.

Gu Jinli pulled her lips and wanted to pull out a smile, but the corners of her mouth hurt.

Qi Hao looked at Gu Jinli's tearful but pretending to be strong, and his heart twitched even more violently.

Carefully wiping the blood off her face, he moved his lips, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.

From Qi Hao's eyes, Gu Jinli saw pity and trust, and she also wanted to say something, but she really didn't have the strength to open her mouth.

Therefore. The two of them were silent, but something was flowing quietly.

"Slut, the old man killed you!" At this time, Mrs. Yin, who was watching Qi Hao and Gu Jinli with affection from the side, couldn't stand.

He roared angrily, raised his hand and took out the red-hot soldering iron from the stove next to him, and burned it straight towards Gu Jinli's body at an incredible speed.

Qi Hao's eyes flashed, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he kicked Mrs. Yin's lower abdomen.

"Ahh Mrs. Yin was caught off guard by this kick, and his body rolled to the ground.

However, the soldering iron that took off his hand, with sparks, still flew towards Gu Jinli's face by inertia.

Qi Hao subconsciously raised his arm to block, "Boom", which was the sound between the soldering iron and the flesh.

"Qi ...... Qi Hao ......" Gu Jinli's eyes widened, looking at Qi Hao's white smoking arm, her nose was sore, and the tears that had just stopped fell again.

Qi Hao glanced at the soldering iron on the ground, shook his head at Gu Jinli, and while tearing his sleeves apart, he gritted his teeth and reluctantly said, "This king is fine." ”

With a "bang", his sleeve was torn, and his arm burned by the soldering iron was also exposed to the air.

The wound was not big, but the flesh on the arm was scalded upside down, and it was scary to look at.

"Brother Yin, Brother Yin! Are you okay? Guo Mingshun picked up Mrs. Yin, who fell to the ground, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh, why is your face so bad?" It can't be hurt, right? ”

When he said this, he blamed Qi Hao for being too heavy on his feet without a trace.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Mrs. Yin stroked his chest and coughed a few times, and then stood up with Guo Mingshun's hand.

"You...... You ......" He raised his hand and pointed at Qi Hao, his old face was pale, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Because the situation was critical, that kick was really not able to grasp the strength.

In terms of in-law relationship, Mrs. Yin is his father-in-law, and he does it to him in front of his colleagues, how can Mrs. Yin not feel resentful?

Enduring the burning pain in his arm, Qi Hao whispered, "Mrs. Yin......"

"Humph!" Mrs. Yin didn't feel the slightest guilt for hurting Qi Hao, he glared at Qi Hao, shook his sleeves and turned to leave.

"Hey, Brother Yin!" Guo Mingshun chased after him, but he heard the prison door being thrown by Mrs. Yin.

Qi Hao sighed lightly, thinking that he could only have a chance to go to the Taifu Mansion to explain in person another day.

After untying the chains on Gu Jinli's hands and ankles, Gu Jinli's body fell to the ground softly.

Qi Hao's big hand held her waist, and the heavy iron chain hit the ground. Make a "pop" sound.

Clenched his fists, Qi Hao looked at the bloody man in his arms, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "This king...... Take out the chains from your body first. ”

Her lips were bloodstained, and it was evident that she had never made a sound when she was in pain.

And now, he is by her side, no one can bully her anymore, she doesn't need to be reckless.

Gu Jinli leaned on Qi Hao's chest, and said in a weak voice: "More...... Thank you, Lord Wang. ”

How the iron hook and chain were put in, how to pull it out, Qi Hao couldn't bear to see her in pain again.

But. It's something that can't be helped.

After all, if this chain is not taken out, her life may be lost......

Qi Hao looked away, the uninjured hand held the iron hook tightly, and the other arm burned by the soldering iron rested lightly on her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "If you hurt, bite this king." ”

His arm was not lightly wounded, and the flesh felt like it was burnt, but as soon as she turned her head, she could bite it.

Gu Jinli looked at Qi Hao in a daze, sniffed, and said "um".

After fixing Gu Jinli's shoulder, Qi Hao carefully pulled the iron hook out of the wound little by little.

He didn't dare to move too much, so he could only hold his breath and try to minimize the pain.

Gu Jinli frowned, gasped, and when she saw that there was more cold sweat on Qi Hao's head than herself, she raised her pale lips again, "I...... It's okay. ”

Guo Mingshun looked at Qi Hao coldly, and said unhappily: "Lord Ning, Gu Jinxiu is a murderer, you have no right to ...... her"

"Lord Guo, rest assured, this king will not show favoritism." Qi Hao didn't look back, interrupting his tone sounding calm: "However, according to the normal procedure, shouldn't Lord Guo be interrogated first?" Why did you directly serve the torture? This is inevitably suspicious of being beaten into a trick! ”

"Lord Ning, you are beating a rake! How do you know that the lower officials are not interrogated? When Lord Guo heard this, he stepped forward and said indignantly: "It is precisely because this murderer's mouth is too hard and he refuses to admit it, so this official is really helpless to do this!" ”

After hearing this, Qi Hao retorted unceremoniously: "Lord Guo is fortunate that this is a direct punishment, if the second trial is really conducted, I am afraid that this interrogation should be a corpse!" ”

"Hey, Lord Ning, how are you talking? Xiaguan ......"

Because Guo Mingshun was too close to Qi Hao, and the movement of even shouting and roaring was too big, now Gu Jinli had lost too much blood, and she was already too weak to do it, looking groggy, Qi Hao was worried that Guo Mingshun would make a noise to her, so she turned her head and said word by word: "If you want to be theoretical, let's talk about it later!" ”

Probably frightened by the coldness in Qi Hao's eyes, Guo Mingshun swallowed his saliva, couldn't help but take a step back, and closed his mouth.

There was silence all around, except for the sound of chains being pulled out of their shoulder blades, and the sound of blood dripping on the ground.

Qi Hao saw that Gu Jinli's lips were bitten again, and he directly sent his wrist to her mouth, "Bite this king!" ”

Gu Jinli was already in pain and was about to faint, but in front of Qi Hao, she was already embarrassed enough at this time, she was not a delicate woman like Yin Suwan, so she didn't want him to underestimate herself anymore.

Moreover, he also has a wound on his arm, so how can he get out of his mouth?

Seeing Gu Jinli turn her face away, Qi Hao's eyebrows were faintly beating with anger, and his subordinates used a little force for half a minute, Gu Jinli exhaled in pain with an "ah", and he stuffed his arm into her mouth again.

She bit hard, her eyes moistened.

Guo Mingshun looked at the two people who were half lying and half squatting on the ground, sneered, and then sat down at the table.

And the jailer who had his hand cut off by Qi Hao with a sharp sword was still shrinking in the corner at this time, for Gu Jinli. Qi Hao even dared to kick Mrs. Yin, if he came back to his senses, he wouldn't have to dismantle himself?

The little jailer is not stupid, compared to the severed hand, of course, life is more important!

Seeing Guo Mingshun waving his hand at him, he hurriedly picked up the palm on the ground and slipped out in gratitude.

Pouring himself a cup of tea, Guo Mingshun leisurely tasted the tea, while admiring the painful expression on Gu Jinli's face as if watching a play.

Qi Hao's wrist was bitten by Gu Jinli, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Half a cup of tea passed, and Gu Jinli's eyelids became heavier and heavier due to excessive blood loss. She tilted her head and fainted.

Gu Jin ...... Jinxiu, Jinxiu! Qi Hao was startled, and quickly pressed the wound on her shoulder blade, and pulled out the last thumb-length chain.

"Brush", a few acupuncture points on her body, the bleeding barely stopped.

Qi Hao called her twice, but when he saw that she didn't respond, he reached for her wrist.

The pulse was weak, but it wasn't the worst.

took off his outer robe, Qi Hao carefully draped it on Gu Jinli, and then picked her up and walked to the door.

"Lord Ning!"

Guo Mingshun's eyes lit up, and he stood up and stopped in front of Qi Hao: "Take the prisoner away without permission, is the prince provoking the law of our Qi country, provoking the saint?" ”

Qi Hao frowned and said slowly: "Lord Guo, no matter what Gu Jinxiu says, she is from my Ning Palace, and this king just took her back to the palace to recuperate first." If Lord Guo was worried that Gu Jinxiu had run away, he could send an official to watch her in the palace. ”

Guo Mingshun rolled his eyes and said meaningfully: "Lord Ning, take Gu Jinxiu away." Do you know what that means? Do you really want to turn your face with Mrs. Yin for her? ”

"The matter between this king and Mrs. Yin will not bother Lord Guo." Qi Hao narrowed his eyes, and said in a tone that could not be refused: "No matter whether Lord Guo releases people today or not, Gu Jinxiu is going to be decided!" ”

With that, he used his arm to knock Guo Mingshun, who was blocking in front of him, and strode away.

After walking a few steps, Qi Hao suddenly stopped again.

Turning around, he said faintly: "Lord Guo, if this king is not mistaken, it seems that you still have a nephew who is the prefect of Jiyang." ”

"And this time the Jiyang bandits are seriously troubled, and I don't know if there is a phenomenon of collusion between officials and bandits. It just so happened that my father sent Gu Shilang to Jiyang to eliminate bandits, otherwise ......"

"Lord Ning, Xia Guan knows what to do." Without waiting for Qi Hao to finish speaking, Guo Mingshun immediately interrupted him, blushed, changed his attitude just now, and made way for Qi Hao diligently: "Concubine Gu is injured, and the outcome of this case will be decided separately when she recovers." ”

Qi Hao snorted coldly and disappeared into the prison without looking back.

Guo Mingshun looked at the back of Qi Hao leaving, the smile on his face gradually stiffened, and a touch of coldness flashed in his old eyes.

Qi Hao knew that he had a personal enmity with Gu Chengen and the Gu family, but he dared to threaten himself with his nephew?

It's okay, anyway, the master's plan has been completed.

Looking at the posture of Qi Hao and Mrs. Yin just now, their faces have been torn, even if they reconcile in the future, they must have a thorn in each other's hearts, how easy is it to recover as before?

"Hehe......" Guo Mingshun smiled gloomily, the laughter was weird and cold.

Du Jiang was waiting outside the criminal department, and when he saw Qi Hao coming out with Gu Jinli in his arms, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, how is Concubine Gu?" ”

Qi Hao's expression was hidden in the night. After a while, he said, "Is there any movement?" ”

Du Jiang said: "In the afternoon, King Xuan and the Seventh Prince entered the palace to meet the emperor separately, and they all seemed to mention the matter of Concubine Gu and Second Prince Yin. ”

"King Xuan is going to intercede for Gu Huai for her, as for the Seventh Prince...... There was no reason for him to be so kind. After Qi Hao gently put Gu Jinli on the carriage, he said to Du Jiang: "Find out the owner of the dagger immediately, and find out the servant of the Taifu Mansion by all means!" ”

Du Jiang glanced at Gu Jinli lying on the couch and whispered, "Lord Wang, ...... over there, Taifu Yin."

Qi Hao pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "This king knows it in his heart, you don't need to worry. ”

"Yes, lord." Du Jiang answered, and then flew away.

Considering that Gu Jinli was seriously injured, Qi Hao instructed the coachman to drive the carriage slower.

The coachman obeyed the order, so he almost used the speed to return to the Ning Wangfu.

Along the way, Qi Hao poured tea on the handkerchief, and first simply scrubbed Gu Jinli's face and hands.

Although he had wound medicine on his body before he came out of the palace, Gu Jinli's body was stained with blood, especially the wound on the shoulder blade, which was pierced by the rusty chain, and it had not been treated, and it was useless to apply the medicine.

Therefore, she could only feed her a few heart-saving pills that she had begged from Lin Sheng first.

His eyes fell on her red and swollen fingers, Qi Hao hesitated for a moment, gently held her hand, and muttered, "How can there be someone as stupid as you?" Is it so hard to lower your head? ”

suddenly thought of more than a month ago, when facing her as "Gu Jinxiu", he had humiliated her more than once, punishing her by kneeling and kowtowing, and at worst hurting her with a sharp sword and breaking her hamstrings......

At that time, no matter how much he hurt her, how cruel he was to her, it seemed that she had always been submissive, but she never showed weakness......

Because of this, he wanted to break her arrogance and trample on her self-esteem......

If she had been able to give in to him at that time, perhaps he would have scoffed at her weakness and disdained to embarrass her again......

Thinking of the past, he sighed heavily.

brushed the messy hair on her forehead again, and Qi Hao said to himself: "A smart woman knows how to show weakness at the right time, and you are a fool." ”

Gu Jinli lay quietly on the couch, and after hearing this, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly invisibly.

Laughing at himself, he whispered again: "This king...... Also a fool. ”

If she could have doubted her identity from the beginning, how could she have suffered so much for no reason?

It's just that...... He shouldn't have anything to do with her, right?

Shaking his head, he couldn't help but sigh again.
