Xingchen struggled to infiltrate the palace of Jun'an Kingdom, just to find the fruit of the Divine Tree of Shocking Power.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already found the Fruit of the Amazing Divine Tree, Ye Lingxi couldn't think of any other reason that would make Xingchen have a reason and plan to leave here.

"Keep talking!"

Ye Lingxi stared straight at the little eunuch, as if he was afraid of missing any small details about the stars.

"Back to the queen's mother, there is another thing, the slave is very puzzled. A few days before the accident, Xingchen had asked the eunuch who had been out of the palace to bring back a dagger. ”

"Xingchen killed someone in the small garden near the study, and it was this dagger that he used."

In other words, Xingchen has been planning to kill people for a long time. But the eunuch who was killed had no dealings with Xingchen on weekdays, and he had no grievances, and the slave really couldn't figure out why Xingchen deliberately killed him. ”

"What's more, to kill a eunuch, in fact, you don't have to use a dagger, the dagger is a contraband in the palace, it is too eye-catching, and it is easy to leave a handle."

After listening to the words of the little eunuch, Ye Lingxi was even more sure that Xingchen must have found the fruit of the Astounding Divine Tree!

Packing your bags is to prepare for escape, and buying a dagger is just in case.

It's not that the little eunuch who was killed has any grudge against Xingchen, and Xingchen didn't buy the dagger specifically to kill the little eunuch.

The real situation should be that the little eunuch happened to see Xingchen stealing the fruit of the Divine Tree of Shocking Power, so he was killed by Xingchen.

"Is Xingchen's packed baggage still there?"

"Back to the queen's mother, she is still there, under the bed of the stars. Xingchen's accident was only two days ago, and the Internal Affairs Office hadn't had time to come over to clean up Xingchen's personal belongings. ”

"Take Hongu to see it right away!"

Ye Lingxi felt that in the burden of the stars, he might be able to find some clues.

When Ye Lingxi rushed to Xingchen's residence with the little eunuch who lived with Xingchen, he happened to catch up with someone from the Internal Affairs Office who came to clean up Xingchen's personal belongings.

If it's any later, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the baggage of the stars.

"Eh, the queen is auspicious! It is really a sin for the slave not to know that the queen mother has returned to the palace. ”

The eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office are generally very slippery, and they are respectful on the surface, but in fact they may not be genuinely friendly to people.

"What? So anxious to come to the Xingliu Palace to clean up the things left by the eunuchs under the palace? Have you asked Hongu for his opinion? ”

Ye Lingxi picked up the queen's shelf, and his tone was very sharp.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins. Xingchen killed someone, and according to the Jun'an National Etiquette Law, killing people pays for their lives, which is also reasonable and legal. The slave is just acting on orders, and he doesn't know in advance that the queen has returned to the palace and offended the queen mother, and the slave will make amends to you. ”

Saying that, the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office knelt on the ground together, maintaining a kowtow posture, waiting for Ye Lingxi's orders, and did not dare to get up.

Ye Lingxi was in no mood to pay attention to these little eunuchs for the time being, she gave the little eunuch who was in the same room with Xingchen a look, and the little eunuch immediately understood, ran to Xingchen's pile of things, and turned out the baggage that Xingchen had packed before.

"Queen Mother, this is it."

Ye Lingxi took the burden and opened it to take a closer look.

Except for a few light casual clothes, just a little dry food and a kettle, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

However, just these few things are enough for the stars to escape for a few days.

If you had to find something that might represent the idea of the stars...... There was a fire fold in that baggage.

Before Ye Lingxi set off, she had informed Xingchen of the secret passage of the cold palace that she had stumbled upon.

Ye Lingxi thought to himself, Xingchen's fire fold may be intended to be used when walking the secret path.

"Okay, this palace won't bother you with your work."

After checking it, Ye Lingxi put the burden back into the pile of things, turned around and left Xingchen's room.

It wasn't until after Ye Lingxi left that the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office who knelt on the ground dared to get up one after another and continue to clean up Xingchen's personal belongings.

After walking out of Xingchen's room, Ye Lingxi did not return to his room, but went directly out of the palace to find Xiao Yumo, planning to go to the prison immediately with him to take a look at the situation.

Although it was already a little late, however, Xingchen's life and death were unknown, and his whereabouts were unknown, Ye Lingxi really couldn't sleep.

……

The prison was dark and damp, the light was dim, and the voices of prisoners wailing and the intimidation of officers and soldiers came and went.

Ye Lingxi and Xiao Yumo came to the prison in person, but they did not make a big fanfare, but came in a low-key manner and went to the depths of the prison alone.

On the way here, Ye Lingxi had already roughly told Xiao Yumo about the purpose of his trip, and Xiao Yumo also felt that things were not simple.

Anyway, you should wait until Ye Lingxi comes back and then dispose of the eunuchs of Xingliu Palace. After all, it is a person in the queen's palace, and the treatment must be different from that of ordinary people.

On the way forward in the prison, Ye Lingxi saw one death row prisoner after another in one cell after another, some of them were curled up in a lump of sleep, some were stretched out on the fence, and some were giggling to themselves.

This is probably the darkest place in the entire Jun'an Kingdom......

As long as he thought that Xingchen had been locked up in such a place, Ye Lingxi couldn't help but feel very distressed.

Walking and walking, Ye Lingxi and Xiao Yumo finally walked to the open space where the prisoners were punished, many of the officers and soldiers did not know Ye Lingxi, but they knew Xiao Yumo, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Xiao Yumo.

"This is the Queen's Mother."

Xiao Yumo briefly introduced Ye Lingxi, and with this introduction, those officers and soldiers immediately saluted Ye Lingxi in panic.

"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

The queen mother's visit to the prison is not a common thing!

Two days ago, a eunuch just died in the prison, it is said that it was in the palace of the queen's mother, at this time, the queen mother came to the prison in person, it must be for this matter!

For a while, no matter what had anything to do with this matter, they were all worried, for fear that the queen would punish herself if she was not satisfied.

Ye Lingxi carefully noticed that the eyes of the two officers and soldiers were evasive, and they didn't dare to look at her, and they exchanged a look in private.

Sure enough, there was a problem!

However, the question of how to get them to speak became a problem.

Ye Lingxi quietly remembered the appearance of the two officers and soldiers, slowly paced to the chair on the side, and sat down slowly.

"Who among you is in charge?"

Ye Lingxi sat lazily on the chair, touching the jade bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand, and opened his mouth coldly.

"Back to the queen, the slave is here."

Ye Lingxi saw that it was one of the two officers and soldiers who looked strange just now.

Good guy, it turned out that the steward was bought!

Xingchen must have been tortured!

Ye Lingxi's heart tightened, and after taking a deep breath, he continued to ask.

"Two days ago, there was a eunuch in the palace, who was said to have killed someone and went to the prison, but is there such a thing?"

Ye Lingxi's speech was not fast, but his fluttering words were also full of deterrence.

That officer and soldier was obviously not a simple character, but he showed a trace of unnatural expression when Ye Lingxi had just arrived.

After a brief moment of panic, he was now very composed.

"Back to the queen's mother, this is indeed the case."

"Oh? Then tell the palace when, where, where, where, how and who did this eunuch kill? After entering this prison, what kind of punishment were you subjected to? ”

Ye Lingxi asked a series of questions, and the meaning of the question was very obvious.

However, the officer and soldier were obviously prepared for a long time, and they were not afraid of Ye Lingxi's questioning at all.

I saw that he took out a testimony drawn by the stars and handed it to Ye Lingxi.

"Queen Mother, this testimony records in detail how the eunuchs of Xingliu Palace killed people, please take a look."

Ye Lingxi took the testimony and glanced at it.

It turned out that at noon that day, Xingchen attacked a little eunuch who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping the imperial study near the imperial study, and pierced the little eunuch's heart directly with a dagger.

This incident was not discovered, and there were only two people at the scene: Xingchen and the little eunuch who was killed.

However, after the body of the killed little eunuch was discovered, a palace maid who was also a sweeper in the imperial study identified Xingchen as the murderer.

At first, Xingchen did not admit to killing, but the dagger on the little eunuch who was killed was also identified, and it was exactly the same as the dagger brought into the palace by the eunuch who Xingchen was responsible for purchasing.

With all the human and material evidence, Qi Concubine led a team of people to arrest Xingchen.

After entering the prison, Xingchen was sentenced to a heavy sentence, and under the heavy punishment, he finally pleaded guilty and was detained.

"Since they are all drawn, the next thing should be to wait for the palace to come back and then dispose of it, why do the people of the palace still die in this prison?!"

This time, Ye Lingxi's tone was a little angry.

"Back to the queen's mother, after this eunuch was detained, the slave didn't punish him again! It was he who couldn't think of biting his tongue and killing himself in the cell, but he was still fine when he drew the prisoner, and his death had nothing to do with the minion......"

The officer and soldier seemed to be very aggrieved, and took all their responsibilities away.

Ye Lingxi didn't believe his nonsense! However, if you want to pry his mouth open, I'm afraid you still need to think of a foolproof way!

"Okay, then this palace will ask you again, what did you do with the corpse of this eunuch in this palace? Where is it now? ”

"The queen mother, it's just a corpse of a descendant, why do you care so much......"

"Hongu just cares! Do you want to talk about it?! ”

The officers and soldiers in charge of the prison were so angry that Ye Lingxi slapped his palm on the armrest of the chair, and the armrest was immediately shattered.

The officers and soldiers in the prison were all stunned by Ye Lingxi's actions.

Since ancient times, the queen of which dynasty is not a delicate lady, they have never seen such a domineering and barbaric queen with high martial arts!

The two officers and soldiers who had a strange look just now suddenly had their whole faces distorted, and their hearts were extremely frightened.

This queen is obviously very difficult to mess with!

Because of their greed for money, they were instructed and mistreated by others. I thought it was just a subordinate, even if the queen mother asked, she could just prevaricate a few words to get by.

Who would have thought that this eunuch would have such a big background!

Now, in the hearts of these two officers and soldiers, there is nothing but fear and regret.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins! The minion said, the minion said. The eunuch's body was thrown into a mass grave. ”

"How do you get to the mass grave? You lead the way, and this palace will find his body immediately! ”

With that, Ye Lingxi got up and walked in front of the leader of the officers and soldiers.
