The eldest princess didn't want to make too many enemies, so she hid her edge, no longer scolding the white clouds, but opened her mouth to explain the purpose of her trouble. She said: "The queen mother and the imperial brother both know that the Gu family not only has thin heirs, but also is weak. After Bo Xi left, the incense of our Gu family was about to break. Fortunately, there is still such a lone seedling as Jiuxiao......"

Bai Yunjian felt that the eldest princess's words were wrong, so he glanced at Chu Yueli quietly.

Chu Yueli was also a little puzzled, but she didn't know what medicine was sold in the eldest princess's gourd.

Father-in-law Tao knew that the eldest father-in-law was mainly changing medicines, and when he listened to the words, he knew that she chose a daughter-in-law for Gu Jiuxiao. However, how could Gonggong Tao let the eldest princess get her wish? Now, to find half of the "black ban", Chu Yueli is the key.

Just as Gonggong Tao was about to speak, the prince also hurried over.

The emperor looked at the people gathered together, with a gentle smile on his face, and looked quite a bit of a father, but the speed at which he turned his fingers sped up a little. Gonggong Tao knew the emperor and knew that he was a little impatient.

After the prince said goodbye, he looked at Chu Yueli and opened his mouth to say, "You killed Qiongzhu?!" ”

Chu Yueli said secretly: It's finally here. Getting along with these royal people who are good at acting is like having a knife hanging from your neck. The prince pretended to be stupid, but he was also happy. Good!

Chu Yueli pretended to be frightened, and hurriedly said, "Don't be scary, prince!" I would never dare to kill the county lord of Qiongzhu. ”

The prince said: "You dare to kill two leopards, why don't you dare to kill?" ”

Chu Yueli replied: "On the hunting ground, life is competing, killing two leopards can save thousands of people, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, Yueli still understands." The lord of Qiongzhu has no grievances with me, why does the prince spew blood? Could it be that the prince had seen with his own eyes that Yueli killed the county lord? ”

The prince didn't expect Chu Yueli to be so sharp-toothed, and in the first round, he was a little arrogant. However, the prince is not an ordinary person. He said, "I didn't see it, but my aunt brought an assassin to testify against you." The crown prince looked at the eldest princess, "I heard that Boxi's death is also related to the county lord of Duxi." ”

The eldest princess originally wanted to change her words and hire Chu Yueli for Gu Jiuxiao, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger. Because, Gonggong Tao once said that he had revealed Chu Yueli's various crimes to the emperor.

When the eldest princess was in a dilemma, the emperor spoke: "Why is the imperial sister hesitating? But don't you say it? ”

Which minister either died on the road to suicide or died on the suspicion of the emperor. The eldest princess didn't dare to touch her scales, and immediately said: "To the emperor, how can there be any reason not to say it." It's just that the matter is inconclusive, lest the emperor blame him for speaking out. ”

The emperor smiled meaninglessly and said, "Afraid of being blamed, and still making trouble here for the widow?" ”

The eldest princess was shocked in her heart, knowing that she couldn't anger the emperor, so she stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, I caught an assassin from Chu Yueli's private mansion. On that day, although Bo Xi was poisoned and died, the assassin appeared in the Hou Mansion. He was accompanied by a woman. After questioning, the assassin also revealed that on the night when the lord of Qiongzhu disappeared, Chu Yueli had been to Xiaoyao Pavilion. ”

The emperor said, "Bring the assassins up." ”

Gonggong Tao responded: "No." He walked out from behind the emperor, walked past Chu Yueli, walked to the door without squinting, ordered the emperor's words, and then turned around and returned the same way.

The prince said: "After the retiring court, the son was about to leave the palace, but he saw his aunt's people. After inquiring, it was learned that her aunt had escorted the Assassins to see her father. Fearing that the assassin would be dishonest, the retainer personally escorted him over to facilitate his father's questioning. ”

As soon as the prince's words fell, Qi Otherwise, he was escorted to Ci'an Palace, which was really efficient.

Chu Yueli's gaze collided with Qi Ran, and it seemed that he had a different murderous aura, which made the prince very happy, but he didn't take it lightly.

Qi Ran's hands and feet were shackled, and the sound of chains rubbing and dragging between walks was a bit heavy and harsh. Although he was injured, because he wanted to see the emperor, the eldest princess ordered someone to change him into a gray-blue short fight and a pair of black cloth shoes. Qi Ran's movements were a little stiff, his face was extremely pale, he knelt down in an orderly manner, and said: "Long live the emperor...... " looked up at the Queen Mother, and said obediently, "The Queen Mother Jin'an." ”

To be honest, Qi Ran's appearance is indeed very pleasing, especially to please the old woman. A pair of clean and delicate eyes, a slightly baby fat face, small and plump lips, and a good-looking New Year's doll.

The Queen Mother asked, "You are an assassin?!" The tone was a little unbelieving.

Qi Ran replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, she is an assassin." ”

The Queen Mother said: "You killed Qiongzhu? ”

Qi Ran replied: "I didn't kill it." ”

The Queen Mother asked, "Then why do you call yourself an assassin?" ”

Qi Ran replied honestly: "The miscellaneous person in the inn is called the shopkeeper, and those who rely on human lives to make money like me are assassins." I didn't kill Qiongzhu because no one gave money. ”

Although the Queen Mother was extremely disappointed in Qiongzhu, she raised Qiongzhu anyway. The cause of her death was discussed at this time, and she should have been glaring angrily. However, because Qi Ran's reply was so clear-eyed, that the Queen Mother had to press the corners of her lips with a handkerchief so that she didn't laugh.

The prince shouted in a deep voice: "Hugh must deny! ”

Qi Ran replied: "I have no denial, and I will not deceive people." ”

The prince nodded and said, "Okay!" Very good! If you dare to tell a lie, you will be cut by a thousand cuts! Pointing to Chu Yueli, "On the night Bo Xi was poisoned, did you go to the Gu Mansion with her?" ”

Qi Ran nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

The prince curled the corners of his lips and asked, "Are you going to kill Gu Hou?" ”

Qi Ran shook his head and replied, "No." ”

The prince asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Qi Ran looked at Chu Yueli and replied, "Go and see." ”

The prince asked, "What are you looking at?!" ”

Qi Ran replied: "The first time I came to Dijing, I haven't been to Gu Mansion, so I'll go and see." ”

The prince was furious and said, "Presumptuous! Gu Mansion is the place where you can go if you want?! You're an assassin! When you appear, you're going to kill someone! ”

Qi Ran replied: "I have appeared on the streets and alleys many times, and I have never killed anyone." ”

The green tendons on the prince's head jumped up and asked, "Haven't you killed anyone?!" You've definitely killed someone! ”

Chu Yueli said secretly: Very good, Qi would have succeeded in taking the prince into the gutter.

Qi Ran replied: "I want to be a killer, but I am not qualified, so I want to experience it." I haven't killed anyone. He who gave the money was not killed. I will not kill anyone who has not given money. ”

The green tendons on the prince's head all jumped up.

Chu Yueli said secretly: Look, look, this blood vessel is about to burst the rhythm. If you dare to come up, you can talk to Qi otherwise, how big a tiger you must.
