Chapter 12: Where is the Dignity of the Truth (Part I)

"Miss, His Royal Highness sent someone to send Zhou Mubai here!" The next morning the maid came to inform me.

"Zhou Mubai?!"

Is it because I like the name? I always felt that it was very affectionate and pleasant, and it was familiar, as if I had called him many, many times.

When I came, he kept his head down and said nothing. I was wronged for him, I thought, the most wronged person should be him, I want to approach him, but I don't know how to talk to him. If I were him, I would be very angry.

I noticed that his feet were in heavy chains, and so were his hands, and it was the blue spirit envoy in the palace who escorted him, and they pushed and shoved him, as if he were really the criminal who was full of evil.

I couldn't see the expression on his face from a distance, he just kept his head down, didn't resist or say a word, and let the sound of chains go down and ring.

"Stop!" For the first time, I wanted to fight for someone else.

"Miss Xin!" They respectfully addressed me, "Your Highness has ordered, this person is so treacherous, we will take turns guarding it in the Rujia Palace, Miss Xin doesn't need to pay much attention!" ”

"Go back, all of you!"

"It's... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, Your Highness has ordered..."

"I told him that I was imprisoned personally, and I didn't say that I wanted anyone else to interfere!"

"Miss Xin, this is the whip given by His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness said that this person's methods are ruthless, and Miss doesn't need to care about anything, just beat it directly when she is angry!" The one at the head gave me a long whip, and it was so heavy that my arm almost sank when I took it, and it must have hurt when I hit someone.

That's right, it's not painful anymore, why use your fists to hit people, the effect of force is mutual, it still hurts with your fists and hands, how good it is to use a whip! I feel more and more that he is really favoring Lu Xiangxiang, if he gave me the whip before, probably Lu Xiangxiang would have opened his skin and flesh.

"Is that what he wants me to get angry about? What kind of person does he think of me Xin Keru! I looked at the whip and sighed, "Let's go, all of you!" ”

"Thisβ€”" They looked at each other before replying, "No! ”

"Wait a minute!"

"What else does Miss Xin command?"

"Give me the key!"

"His Highness said that imprisonment should have the appearance of imprisonment, and the key is with him!"

What I don't know is that this group of people didn't leave at all, they seemed to be watching me together, and reported every move of me and Zhou Mubai to their Highness.

"Zhou Mubai?" I called to him softly, I had never spoken to anyone in such a soft voice!

He bowed his head and said nothing, ignoring me, and I only felt more and more wronged for him.

"My name is Xin Keru, just call me Aru!" I smiled a little playfully, but he remained silent, not even sarcastic.

I moved a little closer to him, and I kept looking at him, and it was still the relationship between a magnet and a magnet, and I couldn't move away when I met him.

"Look at me!" I boldly reached out and cupped his face, I had never done this to a man, and I was quite nervous for a while.

He only glanced at me in disgust, and then his gaze never fell on me again, as if he was at my mercy. My hands froze, his face froze, and the scene was a little awkward.

"I'm sorry!" These three words floated out of my mouth for a long time.

He was visibly surprised, but only for a moment.

"I know it's not you, you've been wronged, so I'm sorry!" I said it again, I'm not a person who likes to say such hypocritical things.

He was still silent, I withdrew my hand, trying to tear the chains from his hand, and I went to steal the sword that Xin Kejia had brought back from the rain, and I wanted to chop it open, and I did.

"You can't cut it unless you want to chop off my hand!" His voice was cold, and the warmth of the snowflakes melting in the palm of his hand.

I just wanted to show my sincerity, and he did, and though his tone was all indifferent, I happily threw my sword aside and looked at him with a grin.

"Also, don't touch my hand!" That sentence was blunt and annoying, as if the previous grievances didn't make him angry.

"Oh!" I thought he was because men and women don't kiss, but later I learned that his hands were his most cherished place, except for the contact with the brush, he rarely let others touch, and I did the most annoying action, I held his hand.

"You don't have to pity me, I don't need to." What a neat and concise sentence completely rejected my refusal.

I'm not a particularly good-natured person, the first time I pasted it on someone's cold ass with a hot face, and I didn't feel ashamed: "If you don't need it, you don't need it, you are the one who clearly toasts and doesn't eat and drink, and you want to save face and suffer from it!" ”

He was cold-eyed and never looked at me squarely.

I ran to the door of Xin Kejia's bedroom in a fit of rage, and as soon as he came back, I immediately said: "Xin Kejia, you go and tell His Highness that he will immediately pardon Zhou Mubai, and let him go back to his painting hall!" ”

"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to imprison yourself? A gentleman promises a thousand gold, Aru is so backsliding and capricious, it's not good! ”

"I... It's not him Lan Yunwei, why did he buckle such a big hat for no reason, and that Zhou Mubai, it's not a good thing if he doesn't know what to do! I was angry, but the next sentence of Xin Kejia suddenly made me feel that men are not good things at all.

"Why is it for no reason? Even if he didn't do it himself, Zhou Mubai did it, and he definitely couldn't get rid of it! ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Most of this matter Yun Wei was handed over to me to investigate, and he and I both felt that Lu Xiangxiang couldn't do this matter according to Lu Xiangxiang's temperament. For this reason, I went to the painting hall to investigate for a long time, and I also asked a lot of people in private. And just a few days ago, a corpse was salvaged from the Huaye Lake in the painting hall, the corpse was disfigured and stripped of clothes, I asked the other four guards brought into the palace by Lu Xiangxiang to identify it, and they all admitted it one by one, and also said that the corpse had the characteristics of a black mole on the back of the neck, and they did not lie. ”

"That Zhou Mubai, it turned out that you found out?" I thought it was woven by Yun Wei, but I didn't expect the culprit to be Xin Kejia.

I still don't think it's Zhou Mubai for a reason, I think of some things, I was obviously out of the painting hall that day, I was definitely not in the painting hall as they said, who is hiding this.

Xin Kejia is my own brother, I looked at him and asked seriously: "Who said that I was attacked in the painting hall?" Where did you start? ”

"It started with him Zhou Mubai, he was the first person to witness your ruined face in the painting hall, so I naturally had to interrogate him first. I didn't expect it to be him, but he did cover up the little boy around him, and he didn't need to. The palace is heavily guarded, and there will be strict checks on foreign ministers entering and leaving the palace gate, and there will be no more people for no reason, let alone one less person for no reason. "Xin Kejia said it so firmly, it made me more and more confused.
