The steel blade came to a halt before the man was able to relax, gasping for breath as if he had survived the catastrophe.

Chu Jinrong played with the steel blade in his hand and smiled, "I want you, tell the eldest lady in person." ”

He didn't say a word, and directly tied the man in front of Li Xingzhao, Li Xingzhao was stunned for a moment, looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground and was tied up with five flowers, and then looked at Chu Jinrong, his voice was blank, "Your Highness, what are you ......?"

Liu stood aside and saw the man, and suddenly his heart suddenly burst, oh no! Exposed!

Sure enough, the man knelt down with a thud, kept kowtowing on the ground, and cried out, "Master spare your life!" The little one was instructed by the big lady! He cried as he told the whole story of Liu's plan, and as his words went deeper, Li Xingzhao became more and more angry, his forehead was bruised, and the anger in Liu's heart became even stronger as he watched his face gradually turn pale.

The corners of Chu Jinrong's lips hooked an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "The evidence has been found in this palace, as for what the Liu clan should do—" He paused, and the Liu clan's heart also hung in the air, and his breathing stopped.

"After all, it's a family matter, and it's inconvenient for this palace to interfere more, so I'll leave it to Fuyang Hou for you to dispose of."

Li Xingzhao's anger in his heart disappeared slightly, but he showed a wry smile in front of Chu Jinrong, "Let His Highness see and laugh." ”

Chu Jinrong smiled lightly and didn't speak, and after giving Li Qiuchi who was standing aside, he gave a look to Li Qiuchi who was standing on the side and walked away.

After Chu Jinrong left, Li Xingzhao's face turned cold, "Liu, you will be fine for the next two days or so, just stay in the house, don't come out without my summons." ”

Liu knelt down with a wail, and his voice was full of tears, "Master, the concubine has been wronged!" ”

He Yu also hurriedly knelt down, kept kowtowing, and his voice was frightened, "Master spare your life!" Spare your life! The slave maid has never done such a thing! ”

Li Xingzhao's gloomy face suddenly became angry, and the vase next to him fell in front of Liu's family, and Liu's screamed to retreat, but when he saw Li Xingzhao roaring, "You are still wronged!" There are all the witnesses, and you are still wronged! Are you fools to me! The servant girl Heyu, instigated the master, dragged her out and beat her to death! ”

The guards outside dragged He Yu out directly, and after dragging it for a long time, he could still hear He Yu's wailing and begging for mercy, and soon his voice weakened.

Liu Shi was honest at this time, she sobbed and wanted to grab the corner of Li Xingzhao's clothes and was thrown away, looking at Liu Shi who fell to the ground in embarrassment, Li Xingzhao's voice was still suppressing anger, "Come on, please go down the eldest lady." ”

The guards immediately surrounded Liu, and was about to surround her, but Liu's suddenly broke free like crazy, "You let go of me!" Let me go! ”

The guards looked at each other helplessly, and then hugged their fists at Liu, "Big lady, offended." They violently pressed Liu's body and forcibly dragged him out, and Liu's howling could still be heard far away.

After the Liu family was dragged away, Li Xingzhao and Li Qiuchi were left in the house, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"Qiu'er," Li Xingzhao opened his mouth, looking at Li Qiuchi with apologetic eyes, "It was my negligence that frightened you." ”

Li Qiuchi was rarely silent, she didn't know what to say, but thinking of Liu's approach, she felt a chill in her heart, and even more cold to Li Xingzhao. Li Xingzhao didn't hear her response, but he didn't care, and continued to speak, his eyes were far away, as if he had fallen into an ethereal memory.

"Your mother also loves sweets," he said slowly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Qiuchi's eyelashes trembling, his heart was a little complicated, and he recalled the past, "At that time, her favorite thing was to make a horseshoe cake under the full moon night and invite me to taste it together." She often said that before and under the moon, there must be sweets to complement each other, to be beautiful. ”

She is gentle and gentle on weekdays, but sometimes, she is also very stubborn, so stubborn that she can't even turn back nine cows, and no one can force her. Therefore, when I was sick, I didn't like to drink medicine, but I never dared to say anything about her illness. Whenever he thought of this, he was always gentle, and Li Qiuchi also listened quietly, his dark eyes flashing one after another.

"She treats everyone very gently and empathetically, but she never thought of ......it," Li Xingzhao's words stopped at his lips, and finally turned into a heavy sigh.

"If my father cares so much about my mother, why don't you find out the truth about her death?" Li Qiuchi's eyes were filled with coldness, and his words hit the nail on the head, and sure enough, Li Xingzhao's face changed, and he suddenly took back the affectionate paragraph like water, with a cold face.

He waved his long sleeves, "You are still young and don't understand many things, so don't mix it up!" ”

Li Qiuchi smiled sarcastically and saluted Li Xingzhao Shi Ran, "Since the year before last, my daughter has already reached the end of her life, how can you talk about being young?" My father didn't want to find out the truth, so why did he show me so affectionately! ”

"You!" Li Xingzhao's face was annoyed and angry, and he pointed at Li Qiuchi angrily, "You rebel girl, you dare to contradict your father!" ”

Li Qiuchi sneered, his voice unrelenting, "Even my father knows that my mother's death is a change, why don't you want to find out?" The events of the year ended hastily, for whom? Do you not want to, or don't you dare? ”

Li Xingzhao was so angry that his voice was also short, his face was flushed, and his chest rose and fell violently, "Don't think that I can't do anything about you if you have a marriage contract with the prince!" You're still my daughter! I have already said this matter, we can't discuss it anymore, the Lan clan died violently, and there is no other reason! ”

Li Qiuchi sneered disdainfully, "Father just doesn't dare, too, my father is so cowardly and incompetent, I guess I can't find out anything." ”

Li Xingzhao was suddenly furious, and he was about to slap him, but Li Qiuchi was able to dodge it, her eyes were cold, like a sharp blade, tearing his flesh and bones apart.

Why was my father so angry? The daughter just wants to find the truth, and the father is so annoyed and angry, does he really have something to hide? ”

Li Xingzhao was carried away by anger and sneered at her, "The truth? Don't talk nonsense with the support of the prince! Ben Hou sees that you are also dizzy today, come on! Please invite the second lady down to be sober and sober, and you are not allowed to come out without Benhou's order! ”

"Who is Fuyang Hou going to invite down? Such a big fire? At this time, Chu Jinrong walked in slowly, his face cold.

When he saw Chu Jinrong come in, Li Qiuchi's heart unconsciously settled, like a wandering duckweed finding a fixed place, and suddenly warmth filled his body.

Li Xingzhao saw Chu Jinrong, and in an instant, it was like a basin of cold water splashed down, he suddenly sobered up, and hurriedly smiled at Chu Jinrong: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why are you here?" ”

The corners of Chu Jinrong's lips were hooked, revealing a cold light, "If you don't come to this palace again, do you want to see a good show of how you bully the crown princess?" At the end of the words, Chu Jinrong's voice also sank, revealing extreme danger.

Li Xingzhao's smile froze, and he bowed his body and smiled: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the minister is just angry for a while, and he doesn't mean to hurt Qiu'er, Qiu'er, are you right?" ”

Li Qiuchi sneered and didn't speak, his heart full of disappointment in him.

Li Xingzhao's face turned blue, but he still maintained a flattering smile on his face, but he heard Chu Jinrong's voice cold.

"The Lan family is the biological mother of the crown princess of this palace, and she once gave you the housewife of the Marquis of Yang, the things of the year really shouldn't be so hasty, from now on, I will start to find out the truth, presumably the Marquis of Fuyang doesn't want his wife to die in vain." His voice was low, with unmistakable pressure.

Li Xingzhao was so shocked that he hurriedly knelt down and knelt low on the ground, "Yes." ”

Under the pressure of Chu Jinrong, Fuyang Hou thoroughly investigated the events of the year and found that many clues were broken, and the witnesses present had either disappeared or had passed away, and Li Qiuchi was also constantly looking for evidence, but he had no clue after looking for a few days.

One morning, she finally gave up looking for it and sat on the edge of her bed in contemplation. How can we find the truth of that year?

"What are you thinking?" Chu Jinrong's voice suddenly sounded next to him, so frightened that Li Qiuchi jumped up directly from the bed, and after seeing the person clearly, she glared at Chu Jinrong, who was smiling happily, "Just talk, what are you doing?" ”

Chu Jinrong smiled gently, "How is it?" Got a clue? ”

Li Qiuchi was suddenly deflated, his brain was also very messy, and his voice was low, "No." She saw Chu Jinrong's look full of certainty, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Do you have a clue?" ”

Chu Jinrong didn't speak, only handed her a sachet in his hand, Li Qiuchi took it and looked at it carefully, the word Xinlan was embroidered with eye-catching red thread, and the rest looked like an ordinary sachet, she felt a little familiar, and suddenly thought of the maid who served beside the Lan family when she was young, and the sachet she carried with her was this.

Her eyes crossed the streamer, "Aunt Xin's sachet?" Li Qiuchi raised his head anxiously and looked at Chu Jinrong's voice urgently, "You mean, Aunt Xin is still alive?" ”

Chu Jinrong took the sachet and played with it before speaking, "I sent someone to inquire, and I learned about such a woman from a small person in the market, she has been living on the outskirts of the city, and her life is very hard. ”

Li Qiuchi heard Chu Jinrong say that life was very hard, and for some reason his heart was sour.
