Early the next morning.

Gu Yanran was half-asleep and half-awake, only to feel that there was always a voice lingering in her ears, and she was tirelessly arguing, until her head hurt.

"Don't make noise, it's a headache!" Gu Yanran roared in a low voice as if angry.

Perhaps her roar played a role, and the sound stopped abruptly in the next moment.

Gu Yanran was just about to feel glad about this, but she didn't expect that the voice only paused for a moment, and then it began to disturb people's dreams again.

"Yan'er."

"......" Gu Yanran frowned.

"Lady?"

"......" Gu Yanran covered her ears irritably.

"Concubine......

"Are you finished?!" Gu Yanran exploded directly, and when she opened her eyes, she stared at the handsome face that was close at hand.

Nangong Xuanyi. "......" is so cruel to a woman.

Gu Yanran raised her hand and gently rubbed the acupuncture points at the end of her eyes on both sides, holding back her discomfort. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Headache?" Nangong Xuanyi took the initiative to take over Gu Yanran's action of kneading and pressing acupuncture points.

Gu Yanran was moved by Nangong Xuanyi's thoughtfulness, and her tone softened slightly. "What time is it?"

"It's almost noon."

"Noon?" Gu Yanran was really surprised. "I've slept that long?"

Nangong Xuanyi bowed. "It's been almost eight hours since you drank the wine."

Gu Yanran. "......" This amount of alcohol is really terrible, only a glass of wine in the stomach, and I slept for almost eight hours.

"Don't worry, I only said to the outside world that you haven't gotten up for a long time because of the effect of the goldenrod." Nangong Xuanyi said.

Gu Yanran looked at Nangong Xuanyi. "Just say that about the goldenrod, doesn't it matter?"

"The culprit has been escorted to the Ministry of Punishment, and it is impossible to hide this." Nangong Xuanyi half-supported and half-hugged Gu Yanran to sit up. "It is precisely because of this incident that I woke you up that someone from the Criminal Department came and said that I would like to ask you to go to the Criminal Department to make a statement."

"Oh, good." Gu Yanran just wanted to get up, but when she lowered her head, she found that there was only a thin layer of obscene clothes left on her body. “？？ Am I? ”

Nangong Xuanyi's ears were red. "Ahem, you slept until midnight and took it off by yourself in the middle of the night, I tried to stop it, but as soon as I stopped you, I wanted to cry, so I had to let it go."

Gu Yanran happened to catch a glimpse of a few small red dots scattered irregularly on her shoulders and chest, and she was suddenly surprised. "It's weird, I didn't touch that plate of shrimp last night, how did I get a rash?"

"I guess it was bitten by a mosquito." Nangong Xuanyi turned his face away with a slight emptiness.

Gu Yanran tilted her head. "Mosquitoes?" It's the end of November now, and the weather is getting colder, how can it be ......

"Get up." Nangong Xuanyi didn't give Gu Yanran too much time to think carefully, and handed her the dress prepared at the bedside. "The people from the Criminal Department came half an hour ago, and although I delayed for a moment on the pretext of the effect of the goldenrod, it was not good to keep them waiting."

"Then I'll do it as soon as possible!"

## #刑部

Gu Yanran and Nangong Xuanyi came to the main hall of the Criminal Department under the guidance of the official service of the Criminal Department.

In the main hall of the Criminal Department, Shen Shao, the capital of the Imperial City, is also sitting firmly on the main seat.

When Gu Yanran saw Shen Shaoyi, she couldn't help but drag Nangong Xuanyi. "The criminal department is under the control of the capital?"

"It doesn't count." Nangong Xuanyi explained. "The criminal department is under the jurisdiction of the criminal department, and the officials' department, the rite department, the engineering department, the military department, and the household department are also under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu in their respective charges.

"I see." Gu Yanran understood.

In the main hall, when everyone saw Nangong Xuanyi and Gu Yanran coming in, they got up one after another and knelt down in the open space in the center.

"The ministers have seen the second prince, the second princess."

Only then did Gu Yanran see the crowd kneeling on the ground: Shen Shaoyi, Prime Minister Du Shoucheng, Wei Zheng, academician of the Hanlin Academy, and several officials in errand uniforms.

Nangong Xuanyi was facing everyone. "Get up."

The people got up as they were told, and stood aside respectfully.

Shen Shao also stepped forward and hugged his fists. "Second prince, second princess, the seat is ready, please take a seat."

Nangong Xuanyi hugged Gu Yanran and sat on the seat, and Shen Shaoyi returned to the main seat and sat down.

Shen Shao also looked at the hall with a solemn face. "Someone! Take the suspect to court! ”

About half a burnt incense, the two officials took Du Mengyao and Wei Donglu into the main hall respectively.

Du Mengyao and Wei Donglu are both daughters of official families, and they have been pampered since childhood, where have they experienced such a prison disaster?

It's only one night, just one night in prison, and the two of them have lost their previous arrogance that they are not afraid of.

No, after seeing their loved ones, Du Mengyao and Wei Donglu cried one after another.

"Daddy." Wei Donglu cried and was about to pounce on Du Shoucheng, but was pressed and knelt on the ground by the official behind him.

Similarly, Du Mengyao could not avoid being pressed to her knees.

"Don't touch me!" Du Mengyao broke free from the shackles of official service with the last trace of pride.

There was a loud bang, and it was Shen Shaoyi who slapped the shocking wood in his hand.

Du Mengyao and Wei Donglu trembled with fright.

Shen Shao also spoke in a calm voice. "Du's Mengyao, Wei's Donglu, the second prince sued the two of you for privately buying and selling the forbidden foreign goldenrod, bribing the middle and lower people of the second prince's mansion, and replacing the original fruits with fruits soaked with goldenrod liquid, causing the second princess to fall asleep for more than an hour, and now the human and physical evidence are there, what else do you two have to say?"

Wei Donglu subconsciously looked at Du Mengyao beside him, and then lay on the ground. "My lord, the people are wronged!"

"What grievances does Wei's Donglu have, you can tell them all." Shen Shaoyi said.

"The folk girl doesn't know what kind of foreign gold flower at all, it is Du Mengyao who sells the people in the second prince's mansion, and those fruits are also replaced by Du Mengyao, the folk girl has been coerced by Du Mengyao from beginning to end, please be enlightened!" Wei Donglu wanted to absolve himself of responsibility.

Du Mengyao turned her head sharply and glared at Wei Donglu. "You!"

"Du's Mengyao." Shen Shao also looked at Du Mengyao. "Do you have any objections to what Wei's Donglu said?"

"My lord, Wei Donglu is shirking responsibility!" Du Mengyao also lay down on her upper body. "The goldenrod was given by Wei Donglu to the people's daughter, and the effect of the goldenrod was also told to the people's daughter, and the method of mixing the fruit with the goldenrod liquid was also taught by Wei Donglu, she will never be wronged!"

Wei Donglu was very aggrieved. "Du Mengyao, if you frame me like this, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder in the sky?!"

Du Mengyao gritted her teeth viciously. "Thunder in the sky?! It should be ...... "It's you who should be struck by thunder!"

"Bang" again, and the startling wood was slapped again.

"Silence!" Shen Shao also interrupted Du Mengyao and Wei Donglu's argument. "Du Shi Mengyao, what you just said is only verbal, not credible, but there is solid evidence?"

Wei Donglu was full of disapproval. The clues related to "......" and the goldenrod have been destroyed, and it is impossible for Du Mengyao to come up with solid evidence.

"I have a witness!"
