Listening to Xiao Ruiyuan's analysis, a smile bloomed on Chu Xingyue's face.

Yes, why is she confused, how can the Zhou family's greedy guys who are afraid of death really dare to trouble her eldest brother; As long as the Zhou family does not take advantage of Zhou Yanran's death and life, they shout to bring the murderer to justice, and want to rescue the eldest brother, the difficulty is definitely not great.

Chu Xingyue's hanging heart was the most relaxed, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinch Xiao Ruiyuan's white and tender cheeks, and praised: "It's still my Ruiyuan who is the smartest, and he woke up the person in his dream with a word." ”

Xiao Ruiyuan looked at Chu Xingyue's expression and was finally not as tense and sad as before, and the smile on his face deepened: "Sharing worries for my sister is also what Ruiyuan should do." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Ruiyuan picked up the big white in his arms, and said childishly to the little fox who had recently gained weight because of the good food: "Do you say it's Dabai?!" ”

Although Da Bai is quite human, but after all, he is an animal, how can he understand Xiao Ruiyuan's words?

But when it saw the smile on the face of the little master holding it, it was also happy, so it cooperated and called twice; And these two sounds fell into the ears of Chu Xingyue and Xiao Ruiyuan, but they became something else, and they really thought that this little thing was a clever ghost who could understand people's words, so they were even more gentle and spoiled by it.

……

Besides, Zhao Ling, after he left the Flying Feather Courtyard, he restrained the soft color on his face, and walked towards the dark room of the palace with calm and chilling eyes.

In the darkroom, Yunxiao has been waiting there for a long time.

It is not a very large darkroom full of all kinds of torture instruments, although there is only one door apart, but the world in the darkroom is another world, there is no outside world of birds and flowers, and the sun is shining, but there is a cold everywhere, especially the creepy torture instruments hanging on the wall are also stained with uncleaned blood scabs; In the air, there was a faint smell of blood, in this kind of place, staying for a while can drive people crazy, not to mention that the old pious woman who was captured has been here for more than half a day.

When Zhao Ling came to the outside of the dark room, he heard the terrible shouts that kept coming from inside, and his eyes gestured to Yunxiao who was standing on the side, and Yunxiao came up and explained: "This old pious woman is very greedy for life and afraid of death, and she has already described her madness on the way to being arrested, and now that she is locked up in the dark room, she is about to be frightened, so she shouts and screams like a madman; But rest assured, Your Highness, she is still quite conscious at the moment, and Her Highness can ask the answer she wants to know. ”

With Yunxiao's words, Zhao Ling was relieved; He sent someone to arrest this old thing to ask something clearly, and if he caught a madman, then what else would he ask.

"Open the door."

Yunxiao hurriedly opened the door of the dark room, and the old pious woman who was locked in suddenly heard the sound of the secret door opening, as if she had found hope to live, she was clumsy and suddenly seemed to be a different person, and rushed towards the door with both hands and feet, and the lightning-fast posture was really impressive.

It seems that in the face of life and death, anyone will break through their limits and do unbelievable things.

Yunxiao's eyes were quick, and when he saw that the old goddess was about to run out, he kicked unceremoniously in the heart of the old goddess, only to hear a 'bang' sound from the dark room, which should be the sound of the person who was kicked falling to the ground heavily, and then, he heard a burst of painful whimpering as if squeezed out of his throat, which made people feel numb after hearing it.

Listening to the old pious woman's annoying voice, Yunxiao glanced at Zhao Ling worriedly, and saw a thick displeasure rising between Zhao Ling's eyebrows, so he said: "Your Highness, this old pious woman is so ignorant that she still wants to escape; Or let her subordinates interrogate her, the dark room is dirty, and His Highness is still waiting outside. ”

Zhao Ling glanced at the clouds and rejected his kindness: "His Royal Highness went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and he has seen all the Rakshasa hells, can't you still see the movement of this old thing?" It's okay, let's go inside. ”

With that, Zhao Ling walked into the dark room, and Yunxiao followed behind Zhao Ling and walked in.

In the darkroom, the air with the smell of blood was as sticky and oppressive as blood, no wonder it could force this timid old pious woman to look like this; At present, the old goddess was seriously injured by Yunxiao, and she also suffered from the pain in her body, which actually made her who was delirious before wake up immediately.

Seeing the two people walking in now, the old goddess sat on the ground with her heart covered, bit her blue lip and raised her head, and after seeing who it was, her pupils shrank in fright, and then, as if resigned to her fate, she let out a sneer.

"The old slave should have thought a long time ago that since he had done that kind of thing, he would never think about Ansheng in his life; It's a pity that the old slave couldn't see this clearly at that time, thinking that as long as he left the palace and the capital, he could barely save his life; But now it seems how ridiculously absurd the idea must have been. ”

Listening to the old pious woman's clear voice, Zhao Ling knew that this old thing had finally calmed down and sobered up, so that he wouldn't have to find a way to pry out what he wanted to know from the old pious woman's mouth.

"Aunt Yinglan, you are also a smart person, you should know what Your Highness came to see you today."

Yes, the old pious woman who was caught by Yunxiao at this moment was Aunt Yinglan, who was waiting by Jiang Qiang's side at the beginning, she took the secret of the crown princess and exchanged it with Zhou Yanran, and successfully left the palace and left the capital, I thought that I would never set foot here again in my life, but I didn't expect that a few days after the free life, she was arrested in this way.

Thinking that she had struggled for so long, and finally fell into the hands of someone who could control her life and death, Aunt Yinglan felt a little ridiculous and pathetic from her heart.

Of course, she knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrested her for, and when she told Zhou Yanran the secret of the crown princess, she was prepared to see that Zhou Yanran was the crown princess's sworn enemy, so she threw such a big bait; But I didn't expect that Zhou Yanran, that stupid woman, was so uncomposed, she couldn't make good use of such a big handle in her hand, and finally ended up with a tragic death, not only that, but also dragged her down.

Thinking of this, Aunt Yinglan squeezed out bursts of sneers from her throat, and at the same time she was discouraged and resigned to her fate; She knew very well that the moment she told Zhou Yanran the secret of the crown princess, the prince would not let her go, so now that it is in the hands of the prince, what will happen to her?

Aunt Yinglan raised her pale face, looked at the man in front of her who could control her life and death, and said, "Whatever Your Highness wants to know, the old slave will tell you one by one, but the old slave has one condition, I hope Your Highness can fulfill it." ”

Yunxiao looked at this cunning old pious woman, if it weren't for the prince by his side, he really wanted to make up for her, and scolded angrily: "Old Diao slave, you have fallen into our hands and you dare to negotiate terms with us?" Believe it or not, I let you live and not die?! ”

Zhao Ling stretched out his hand to stop Yunxiao, and looked coldly at the old pious woman who was lying on the ground like an old dog, and said, "What conditions do you want to negotiate with His Highness first?" ”

Aunt Yinglan grinned with a desperate smile on the corner of her forehead, and said: "The old slave knows that the old slave has made an unforgivable mistake, and now it is in the hands of His Royal Highness, and he does not dare to ask His Highness for survival, but only asks His Highness to let the old slave die simply for the sake of the old slave's truthful explanation, and don't torture the old slave." ”

Yunxiao Dao didn't expect this old pious woman to ask the prince for this, so he was a little stunned on the spot, and then raised his head and looked at His Royal Highness beside him inquiringly.

Zhao Ling was still expressionless, and said, "Okay, His Highness will fulfill you." ”

With Zhao Ling's promise, Aunt Yinglan was completely relieved now; She has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, and she lived cautiously when she followed Jiang Qiang's side, for fear that she would accidentally toss this life away; In the end, she finally gained a firm foothold by the side of the abolished queen, but she didn't expect that the abolished queen was actually a crazy woman, and she dared to do such a thing as killing the king.

In the end, the matter was revealed, and she knew very well that if she continued to follow the abolition queen, she would definitely not end well; That's why I took that important secret and went to find Zhou Yanran, thinking that she could fight for a way to live, but God was unfair, she still couldn't break free from her fate.

Thinking of this, Aunt Yinglan leaned on the cold wall behind her tiredly, blinked her already tired eyes, and said, "Your Highness wants to know if it was Zhou Guifei who was told the secret of the crown princess by the old slave, and if so, how did the old slave know, right?" ”

Zhao Ling looked at Aunt Yinglan who looked at her silently, and could be regarded as answering her.

Aunt Yinglan laughed softly, and said, "The old slave is a cronie who follows the abolition queen, and the abolition queen is a suspicious woman, but none of the subordinates who follow her have trembled; I don't know how many self-proclaimed smart palace maids have died in the uncertain character of the abolition, the old slave has been sold to the palace as a slave by his family since he was a child, and the decades of life in the deep palace have taught the old slave a lot of things, and the most important one is that if you want to live, you must know yourself better than your master. ”

"The old slave knows that in this harem, the only woman who can compete with the abolished queen is Zhou Guifei, so when staying by the side of the abolished queen, the old slave also always pays attention to the movements of the Quewei Palace, the old slave knows that although the concubine Niangniang is the favorite crown of the sixth palace, but this woman does not have the Son of Heaven in her heart at all, and the person she admires is His Royal Highness the Prince; Also, what if the emperor is rich in the world? He is old, and fat and fat, such a man, even if he is a ninety-five, cannot attract young and beautiful girls to fall in love with him; Therefore, it is absolutely reasonable for the noble concubine to like His Royal Highness the Prince. Because Your Highness, you look so young and handsome, and you are so attractive. ”
