Xiao Yuan used the excuse of visiting his two sons and daughters in Qin Zhan's mansion, and found Qin Zhan, who was worried, and Qin Zhan immediately ordered all his subordinates to retreat.

Xiao Yuan gently picked up Qin Zhan's daughter Qin Yue, and said while teasing, "Fourth uncle, your daughter has beautiful eyebrows, she is a beauty, and she is worthy of harmony, this marriage is really right." ”

Qin Zhan hurriedly said, "Mrs. Yuan! We can't pass the test this time, we all have to be finished, what marriage is not married? ”

Xiao Yuan scratched Qin Yue's tender little nose and said with a smile, "Fourth uncle, we did it seamlessly, what are you worried about?" ”

Qin Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "Mrs. Yuan, do you really think that this is the trial of the three divisions, and you want the evidence to be conclusive?!" As long as the boss has the slightest suspicion on our heads, we don't need evidence, and we are completely finished. The Qin family is finished, Mrs. Yuan, you are finished, and the little nephew and son are also finished! ”

Xiao Yuan also knew that what he said was the truth, and the two of them could have today because of Fang Yuan's trust. If Fang Yuan's trust is lost, even if Fang Yuan has no evidence, he can take back everything the two of them have.

Xiao Yuan stared at him and said, "Fourth uncle, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, do you know why Gongzi wants Hu Qi to be the chief judge?" ”

Qin Zhan sighed and said, "Because the boss doesn't trust me at all!" ”

Xiao Yuan scoffed at his cowardice, and said lightly, "Why didn't Gongzi personally interrogate King Yong?" Because Gongzi didn't want to see King Yong in person, he was afraid that King Yong would be soft-hearted for a while, so he asked Hu Qi to do official business and punish King Yong, understand? ”

Qin Zhan was stunned and asked, "Yes, but this has something to do with us?" Hu Qi's Jinyi Wei first trial, King Yong must have recruited everything, although Xiao Lizi was killed and killed, but his appearance was too abrupt, he could hide it from the prince and King Yong, I'm afraid he can't hide it from the boss! ”

Xiao Yuan said coldly, "If King Yong shuts up forever, can Gongzi still suspect us?" ”

Qin Zhan was taken aback when he heard this, and asked in a lost voice, "Lady Yuan won't even want to kill King Yong!" This, on the cusp of the storm, how can you hide it?! ”

Xiao Yuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, and said angrily, "I went to Nanjing City once, and the fourth uncle ordered Jinyiwei to arrange to see King Yong before Hu Qi's Jinyiwei arrived." But there is one thing that needs to be done immediately by the fourth uncle. ”

Qin Zhan said, "Mrs. Yuan, say it! ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Yuan's mouth and said, "Immediately send Jinyi Wei north to Yangzhou Mansion to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the princess, find the princess, and kill her on the spot, leaving no one alive." ”

Qin Zhan was stunned and asked, "The princess is not in Gaoyouwei, it's time to go back to the imperial court!" Is she still in Yangzhou Mansion? ”

"The princess has already returned to the imperial court, and now that he has seen the moon, how can he go back?"

Xiao Yuan said with remorse, "I can't die if I am trapped in Gao Youwei this time, it's really fateful!" ”

Seeing that Qin Zhan was still hesitating, she said angrily, "Yangzhou Mansion is in a mess now, and if a princess dies, it is inferred that it was killed by the imperial court, who can suspect you and me?" The princess has made a great contribution this time, if she returns to Canglang Pavilion, she will definitely fight back against you and me, and it will be too late to regret it! ”

Qin Zhan thought about it for a while, so he took over this task.

Two days later, Xiao Yuan rushed to the outside of Nanjing, and under the arrangement of Jin Yiwei, secretly entered the city. Because Qin Zhan was responsible for arresting the hundred officials of Nanjing City, he arranged for Xiaoyuan to enter the palace and meet the Yongwang Zhu Cizhi with a gesture.

Fang Yuan pacified this sneak attack by the coalition forces of the imperial court and Zuo Liangyu, and Zhu Cizhi didn't know what fate awaited him at all, he was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting in the palace.

Qiu'er came to report that Mrs. Yuan in Fang Yuan's backyard had gone to the dormitory in person to meet Zhu Cizhi.

Xiao Yuan and Zhu Cizhi are also old friends, before the two princes came to Jiangnan for the first time, Xiao Yuan took care of and taught them all the way, and he and Zhu Cihuan both called Xiao Yuan Sister Yuan.

At this critical juncture, Xiao Yuan went to the dormitory in person, Zhu Cizhi was like finding a life-saving straw, and hurriedly went to welcome Xiao Yuan into the dormitory, and saluted respectfully and said, "Sister Yuan, sit down, sit down!" ”

Xiao Yuan sat upright at the table, looked at him and Qiu'er calmly, and smiled faintly, "King Yong, I came here this time for the sake of you calling me Sister Yuan, and I took the risk to come and tell you." King Yong should have heard that Governor Fang sent Jinyi Wei to Nanjing City to arrest hundreds of officials, as well as the prince in charge, to interrogate the case of Nanjing City colluding with the imperial court and luring wolves into the house. ”

Zhu Cizhi just got the news, and he did communicate with the prince of the prison country, so he was scared half to death, "Yes, yes, Sister Yuan Mingjian, I am really innocent!" ”

Xiao Yuan covered his mouth and smiled and said, "King Yong, since you call me Sister Yuan, you should tell the truth." Governor Fang has long known that you have secretly made a secret break with the prince of the prison country, and he sent the Jinyi guard to ask for the guilt. ”

When Zhu Cizhi heard that Fang Yuan actually knew the whole situation, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and said in a lost voice, "It's not me who went to the secret fold, it was the prince of the prison country who sent a man named Xiao Lizi, who came to secretly communicate with me first, and forced me, I was also forced to be helpless!" ”

Xiao Yuan sneered secretly when he heard this, this coward, he didn't need to be tortured to confess it, fortunately he came one step earlier, otherwise it would have fallen into the hands of Hu Qi, and he would have recruited even the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.

Xiao Yuan continued to intimidate and put pressure on him, "King Yong doesn't need to pass the buck with the crown prince, after this war, Governor Fang will break with the imperial court." The crown prince must be dead, and King Yong will not escape a capital crime. ”

Zhu Cizhi also knew that he was in a catastrophe this time, and his face changed greatly in fright, "This, I will immediately go to the teacher to ask for guilt in person, the mother concubine and the teacher have a bloody alliance, and the teacher will not kill me!" ”

Xiao Yuan smiled coldly and said, "King Yong is wrong, because Governor Fang doesn't want to see you at all!" ”

While the two were talking, the palace maid outside the door hurriedly came to report that Fang Yuan had sent Hu Qi to try the case.

Zhu Cizhi looked at Xiao Yuan in a panic and asked her for advice.

Xiao Yuan said in a low voice, "King Yong, delay until tomorrow to Hu Qi!" ”

She hid behind the screen and only heard Hu Qi's voice, "His Royal Highness King Yong, Hu Qi came to you to ask about the case on the order of Governor Fang." ”

Zhu Cizhi forced himself to calm down and said, "What case? ”

Hu Qi said truthfully, "It's the case of His Royal Highness King Yong colluding with the crown prince!" ”

Zhu Cizhi said, "I want to meet the teacher in person and go to the teacher to complain in person." ”

Hu Qi refused him on the spot, "Governor Fang didn't want to see His Highness, but just asked me to interrogate the truth and report the case, His Royal Highness King Yongwang should not shirk it, please His Royal Highness King Yong, and the maid Qiu'er, come with me to the Imperial Prison!" ”

Zhu Cizhi was shocked when he heard this, only to know that what Xiao Yuan said was true, where did he dare to go to Jinyi Wei Prison, and he was busy following the method taught by Xiao Yuan and prevaricated, "Okay, okay, I still have something to explain to the woman in the backyard, and I will go to the prison with you tomorrow." ”

Hu Qi thought about it, Fang Yuan's words still respected the love of Tian Guifei, the mother of the Eternal King, one day later! He arched his hand at Zhu Cizhi and said, "Okay, I will come again tomorrow to invite you, Your Highness is the Prince of Daming, don't make such an undignified act as fleeing." ”

After Hu Qi left, Zhu Cizhi knelt on the ground at Xiao Yuan, crying and said, "Sister Yuan, Sister Yuan, help me!" ”

Qiu'er also knelt side by side with him, kowtowed and said, "King Yong was confused for a while, and fell into the prince's hands, Sister Yuan looked at the past and thought of something!" ”

Xiao Yuan ordered the two of them to get up, and said unhurriedly, "The secret fold is on Qiu'er, and Qiu'er must not be able to hide." If you go to the edict, you will be tortured, so why bother to be humiliated and commit suicide! ”

Zhu Cizhi was taken aback, glanced at Qiu'er, and said repeatedly, "This, how can it be done?" She's truly innocent! ”

Xiao Yuan looked displeased and said, "Qiu'er, since you have made a secret fold in your name, you should have expected today's events. Whether it is up to you to bear it, or His Royal Highness the King Yong, think clearly! ”

Qiu'er looked at Zhu Cizhi and nodded with tears in her eyes, "After I commit suicide, how can His Royal Highness King Yongwang save his life?!" ”

Xiao Yuan said slowly, "Qiu'er, after you committed suicide, His Royal Highness King Yongwang immediately pretended to be crazy and stupid. I will intercede with Governor Fang, stop this trial, and then properly place King Yong, which is the only way to save King Yong's life. If you hesitate any longer, you can only go on the road together. ”

Qiu'er knew that she was going to die this time, so she responded with tears, "Okay, as long as I can save His Highness's life, I am willing to kill myself!" ”

Zhu Cizhi took her hand and cried and said, "Qiu'er, how can I watch you kill yourself?!" ”

Qiu'er wiped the tears on his face for him, "After the concubine is gone, His Royal Highness must live well, and he must no longer think about it, as long as he lives peacefully, I can die blindly." ”

Zhu Cizhi was in pain, crying hoarsely, knocking his head on the ground, and bleeding all over the ground.

Xiao Yuan was also moved when he saw this situation, his nose was slightly sour, and he thought secretly, "If Gongzi treats me so well, I don't have to go through so much trouble." ”

She wiped away the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, Ying Ying got up and said, "King Yong, cherish this last night!" ”
