The emperor's face softened slightly: "You tell what happened first, if the human and material evidence is complete, I will be gracious." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Only then did Yu Zixuan raise her head and tell the reason why she was sent out of the Prime Minister's Mansion to raise her since she was a child, and said: "It wasn't until the previous Min's daughter returned to the house that the eldest lady suddenly became seriously ill again...... At that time, all the gossip in the Prime Minister's Mansion was that the people's daughter was a disaster, and she reached the eldest lady. ”

"The folk girl is a person who does not believe in evil, so she specially asked the doctor who treated the eldest lady." After that, she and Pangu confessed, and did not hide that the eldest lady was taking poison and pretending to be sick by herself.

But she knew in her heart that if she took this opportunity to directly drag the eldest lady into the water to solve the problem, then Yuhong would definitely be wary of her, and it would be inconvenient to do anything in the future.

Before she came, she had discussed with Ye Lixuan, and she blamed all the poisoning on Mama Li.

Mama Li is Xie's companion, shrewd and cautious, she can be said to be the most powerful and trustworthy person around Xie.

Ye Lixuan also said that she was too cautious, since she had decided to fight back, she shouldn't worry about what Yuhong would think, after all, now that she has received the emperor's gift, how many people want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to tie up, and it is too late to ask for marriage, Yuhong will not be so stupid, for a daughter who is useless, waste her such a good chess piece.

How could Yu Zixuan not understand the truth in these words?

She knows better than anyone.

But the blood feud between her own mother and Yu Hongcai, she didn't mention it to anyone, and Ye Lixuan didn't know it, so she said that.

Now she is not what she used to be, but her strength is not enough to directly send Yu Hongcai directly into hell.

For a person like Yu Hongcai who has done all the evil things, death is cheaper for him, and life is better than death is the result she wants.

She moved the corners of her lips, straightened her back and said leisurely: "This was originally just a private matter of the Yu family, but now it has caused trouble to Gongliu, it is really the fault of the Prime Minister's house, the fault is that the father did not take care of the trivial matters such as his wife and concubine, but after all, it is the father of the people's daughter, and the people's daughter is willing to accept it on behalf of her father." ”

Seeing that her words were true and filial piety, the emperor couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of filial piety is very difficult to see in the royal family, every child born in the palace, from the beginning of sensible contact is to deceive and compare with each other, in order to be able to become the best one and get the opportunity to become the prince.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze swept towards Ye Lixuan, who was standing behind Yu Zixuan.

I haven't seen him so interested in the daughter of any family before, but he is the sixth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The holy decree of the General's Mansion to propose marriage on the dragon case had not yet been read, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Father, the son knows how to make him confess." Ye Lixuan spoke.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Ye Lixuan turned around and stared at the masked man with a pair of cold and evil eyes.

The corners of his lips curled into a sneer, and he walked straight to the woman who was still kneeling on the ground.

With a wave of his long arm, he directly drew the long sword behind the Iron Guard, pointing it straight at the woman's neck.

He moved extremely fast, and before he could see clearly, there was already a thin line of blood on the woman's snow-white skin.

The woman trembled with fright, covered her mouth tightly, and did not dare to cry.

The man with the mask was anxious and wanted to go up to save people, but unfortunately he was directly stopped by the Iron Guards.

"You don't want a woman to bear the mistakes you make, right?"

Ye Lixuan's words were like sharp thorns, piercing the man's heart fiercely, his shoulders trembled, and half of his face showed a painful look.

"Well, don't you want to know who poisoned it, how it was brought in, and who gave it to me? I say, I say! Seeing the unbelievable look in the woman's eyes, he quickly turned his head and didn't dare to look at the woman again: "She doesn't know anything about this matter, you let her go first, promise not to touch her, and I'll tell you everything." ”

"What does my father want?"

"Okay, for my sake, you are also a loving person, this woman will be fine."

The emperor said, waved his hand, and the woman was taken out by the Iron Guard.

The man continued: "I was originally an abandoned orphan, I came to Kyoto when I was wandering around, and once I was about to starve to death, and I passed out at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I was rescued and fed a few mouthfuls of food before I came back to life, and at that time I decided that I must repay the grace of saving my life. ”

"Later, this time, because the prince invited the Ice Clan to perform, I accompanied Xue'er back to Kyoto again, and I happened to meet the life-saving benefactor in the market, and after talking, she knew that I was going to enter the palace, so she handed me the five-shaped sand and asked me to do it."

"There is no way to escape the death penalty for such a thing, but I owe people a debt and can't help but pay it back, if she hadn't saved my cheap life, I would have starved to death and froze to death on the streets." The man pursed his lips tightly, his eyes reddened: "As this Miss Zixuan said just now, the poison was originally in her food, but I don't know what went wrong, and the poisoned meal was placed on the fourth lady's table." ”

After speaking, he took out the paper bag wrapped in five-shaped sand from his sleeve.

After Ye Lixuan took it, he handed it to An Nan and took it down for the imperial doctor to verify.

After a while, An Nan came back: "Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed exactly the same as the poison that the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion accidentally ingested." ”

The emperor bowed slightly, and said with a majestic expression: "Who is your savior, and you still refuse to say it." ”

"I took my life, and I hurt my life-saver when I didn't deserve to die." Before the man could finish speaking, he drew a dagger from behind his waist.

Pierce it in the heart!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Lixuan had already grabbed his wrist and smashed the dagger directly to the ground.

Although it was stopped in time, the man was still injured in the chest. A large bloodstain had been printed in front of it.

When Ye Lixuan was about to continue to ask, Yu Zixuan pulled his sleeve and motioned for himself to come.

She looked at the pale-faced man condescendingly, and said step by step: "I see that your relationship with that girl is not ordinary, and you care so much about her life and death, she must be a very important person to you, right?" ”

The man lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was not going to say anything more.

"Or do you really think that when you die, you can really make it all over?"

"The emperor has promised just now, he won't touch Xue'er!" The man clenched his fists in emotion and yelled in a low voice.

"The emperor just said that he wouldn't let her have to worry about her life, you are a smart person, do you really think that you can save her safe and sound by doing this?"

The man was stunned, his pupils shrank, and he seemed to understand for a while.

Yu Zixuan saw the anger in his eyes, and the tip of her nose couldn't help but let out a sneer: "If I had eaten the meal by mistake, I might have died by now, I don't blame you, but you are glaring at me like this?" ”

"So you kill me!" The man pointed to his chest, he was ready to die.

"What I want is a truth, let you confess to the emperor who is behind the scenes, if you don't want to explain honestly, it doesn't matter, there are many ways to judge people in the palace, you can feel it the same, I just don't know if that girl will be frightened when she sees you suffering?"

The knuckles of the man's fist were white, and his teeth were about to be crushed, and he wanted to die with his head.

But now he can't do anything, and he still wants to protect Xue'er......

Yu Zixuan saw that he still refused to speak, her eyes sank, and she raised her voice and said: "Trouble a few Praetorian Guards to keep him, how to interrogate, just follow your usual method, by the way, let that Xue'er girl go with you." ”

"Yes."

As soon as the Iron Guard bit forward and pulled the man, the man suddenly stood up from the ground and stretched out his hand to push the Iron Guard away.

"It's Mama Li, Mama Li next to the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Really?"

"What I said is true, I don't believe that Mama Li can come here to confront me, I still have the gold given by Mama Li here, and I haven't touched it yet." The man took out a money bag from his belt and took out two deposits of gold from it.

The gold and silver in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be marked with a small jade character, so Yu Zixuan can be recognized at a glance.

Annan presented the gold.

The emperor glanced at it, and suddenly slapped the case: "Take it out, and make a decision!" ”

"Yes!"

The man stopped resisting, and sat down weakly on the ground, allowing the Praetorian Guards to drag him away.

Ye Lixuan then spoke: "Father, this matter involves the prime minister's family, but because it disturbed the birthday banquet, it must not end hastily, and it is inevitable to give a decent result in front of the civil and military officials, first, to preserve the majesty of the royal family, and secondly, the prime minister is in an important position in the imperial court, and has repeatedly helped his father to solve problems, but he still has to take care of the face of the Yu family." ”

These words reached the emperor's heart, and he nodded approvingly.

"That's what I mean, if you have any thoughts from Lixuan, it's better to say it and let my father hear it."

"Externally, it is said that the man coveted the treasures in the palace just now, because he was not familiar enough with the palace, he would make the wrong poison, as for the internal, it is still up to the father and the prime minister to talk privately, as for the request made by Miss Zixuan, the son feels that there is no need to let the prime minister know, Miss Zixuan dares to stand up and tell her father everything, it is already righteous, and it should not be because of such a thing, so that their father and daughter are disgusted."

"Well, today Miss Zixuan will stay in the palace for one night, and tomorrow I will send someone to send you back." The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

"The women of the people obey." Yu Zixuan bowed and retreated.

Out of the palace gate, Ye Lixuan, who left with her, raised his hand and knocked on her head: "You are lucky enough to stay in the palace for the night." ”

"What's the good thing, I don't like this kind of high-walled place, it's like being locked in a birdcage." Every palace here is majestic and majestic, and many people dream of it.

Yu Zixuan felt bored, compared to these, she preferred those natural scenery, beautiful mountains and rivers.

And when you enter the palace, everything is a rule.

Every time it was the same as breaking through, trying not to kneel, at the end of the day, she only felt that her head hurt.
