Chapter 56 Capital Punishment

Cheng Xin shouted at Xiaoshu without a word, and heard the sound of Minqi talking outside.

"Little grandpa, why are you here?"

The footsteps at the door suddenly sounded and gradually faded away.

After a while, Min Qi pushed the door in, and saw Cheng Xin coming out from behind the screen and handing over the things in his hand: "Miss, this is what the little grandfather asked me to give you." ”

Cheng Xin took a small round porcelain vase: "What is it?" ”

"It's a gel cream to wipe your hands. Miss, your hand hurts? Minqi raised her hand and blamed herself: "Miss, it's all Minqi's negligence, and I don't even know that you are injured." Look, it's all red like this. ”

This little injury is nothing to Cheng Xin: "It's okay, you don't need to apply medicine tomorrow." ”

"That's not going to work. Miss, sit down. Min Qi opened the small porcelain bottle, carefully dug out the crystal clear ointment inside and smeared it on the back of Cheng Xin's hand.

"It's cold, and it's comfortable."

"Yes, Miss, this is a muscle condensation cream given by the palace, and it is hard to find it outside." Minqi carefully wiped her and said, "Miss, what happened in the palace?" Why are you all hurt? ”

"Who else is hurt?" Cheng Xin looked up.

"Little grandfather, I saw that his ears were red just now, redder than the back of Miss's hand."

"Red ears?" Cheng Xin said casually: "That must be something you shouldn't have heard-"

Cheng Xin paused, she thought of what she had just said to Xiaoshu.

Oh my God, won't he hear you?

"Hey, miss, why are your ears red?"

……

The next day, the sky was clear, and Cheng Xin got up early and dressed up neatly.

"Miss, are you going out today?" Min Qi looked at the dressing mirror and helped Cheng Xin wear a step shake.

Cheng Xin shook his head in the mirror: "No." This step shake is too heavy, let's change it. ”

Hearing this, Minqi took off the step shake, took out a velvet hairpin from the jewelry box and put it on for her: "Miss, this is the most fashionable style in the capital now, and Yuhanlou sent it yesterday." ”

Cheng Xin looked left and right: "It's really good-looking." By the way, you said before that Jiangnan would send me something every month? ”

"Yes, Miss, everything is stored in your storeroom."

"Take me to see when you're free."

"Yes."

Minqi helped Cheng Xin put on his clothes, and Qiaowen hurriedly entered.

"Miss, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has already arrived, and he is in the front yard now."

"Okay, I'll go. By the way, let the kitchen prepare a peach blossom cake. Cheng Xin glanced at the room and took the fan that had been on the table for a few days.

When she arrived in the front yard, the little grandfather and the second prince were about to get up and go to the study.

Seeing her coming, Chu Xiaohan smiled and said, "Why is Miss Guogong here?" ”

"Just call me Cheng Xin, Second Highness, I have something I want to ask you alone, I don't know if you have time?"

Chu Xiaohan glanced at Qin Shu at the moment.

Qin Shu said: "Let her come along." ”

Chu Xiaohan smiled gently: "Cheng Xin, what you want to know, I want to talk about it today, you might as well go to the study with us." ”

didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Cheng Xin nodded immediately.

The three of them entered the study, and Qingcha stood outside to guard.

Chu Xiaohan said directly: "What was lost in the prince's study yesterday was a painting. ”

"What painting?" Cheng Xin asked.

"I heard it's a picture of a maid. It's just that I don't know what kind of fairy characters are drawn. ”

Cheng Xin first thought of Wen Yunxian, but quickly shook his head, it is not uncommon for the prince to have a portrait of Wen Yunxian, and it is unbelievable to enter the prince's study in the East Palace to steal a painting.

"Did that guy catch him later?"

Chu Xiaohan shook his head: "That thief seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and even though the prince searched the entire East Palace, he didn't find it." ”

"This shows that he is familiar with the terrain of the palace."

Chu Xiaohan glanced at her appreciatively: "You're right, the prince also suspects that he is from the palace, but even if it is the prince, he can't search the entire palace on a large scale." This matter can only be stopped. ”

Cheng Xin thought of another possibility: "The prince didn't suspect the people who came to the East Palace yesterday, maybe one of them sneaked into the prince's study." ”

"Even if there is suspicion, there is no evidence." Chu Xiaohan looked at Qin Shu as he spoke: "It's like if this person is Fusang, and the prince has no evidence, so he can't help it." ”

"It will never be the little grandfather." Cheng Xin said: "He was with me at that time. ”

"I'm just giving you an example." Chu Xiaohan said and glanced at the fan in Cheng Xin's hand, and said in surprise: "Why is this fan in your hand?" ”

"Oh, I almost forgot." Cheng Xin handed the fan to the little grandfather: "Last time... You fell, I picked it up. And then I forgot to pay you back. ”

Qin Shu took the fan and opened it to take a look.

"Don't worry, I didn't get dirty, it's all right."

Chu Xiaohan glanced at Cheng Xin strangely: "You mean you picked up the fan?" ”

"yes."

"How could you have lost your fan?" Chu Xiaohan said this lightly, and only Qin Shu beside him heard it.

With a 'bang', Qin Shu took the fan and held it in his hand.

"Are you okay?"

Cheng Xin didn't know who said this to the two of them, his eyes went back and forth, and he said, "Yes, I still want to ask what happened to the guard yesterday?" ”

"How do you know that a guard was executed yesterday?"

"Extremely... Capital punishment? ”

Chu Xiaohan shook his head: "The limbs were amputated, the eyes were gouged out, and even ...... It's gone. ”

"What's missing?" Cheng Xin didn't hear clearly.

Qin Shu coughed lightly, and Chu Xiaohan said, "Life, life is gone." ”

Cheng Xin was terrified for a while, and quietly glanced at the little grandfather, but at this time he was also looking at himself.

Cheng Xin suddenly retracted his gaze: "Then, he died so miserably, did the prince pursue it?" ”

Chu Xiaohan was puzzled: "What does this matter have to do with the prince?" He offended the eldest emperor's brother and killed a palace maid and was sentenced to death. Everyone in the palace learned from themselves and did not dare to commit it again. ”

"He offended the eldest prince?"

How does this matter have anything to do with the eldest prince, Cheng Xin asked the little grandfather with his eyes.

Qin Shu said: "The one who took Miss Wen away is the eldest prince." ”

"What did you say?"

It was the eldest prince who took Wen Yunxian away at a critical time?

'Ah, my little girl, the male protagonist has appeared! The little book suddenly spoke.

Cheng Xin is accustomed to the character of the male protagonist when he meets a man, and there is no wave in his heart.

Chu Xiaohan heard something from the words of the two, and before he could ask, the little grandfather explained what happened yesterday.

"I didn't expect Miss Wen to encounter such danger in the palace." Chu Xiaohan's face sank.

Yes, I entered the palace with a good end, was knocked unconscious, and met a guard who wanted to do something wrong. This heroine is really not good.

It was the eldest prince who saved people, but who knocked Wen Yunxian out there?

Cheng Xin thought about it and targeted the prince and Wen Huimin.

However, Wen Huimin can rule out that her reaction when she saw Wen Yunxian coming back was just depressed, not uneasy after the defeat.
