"Your Highness, do you still have something to order?"

Chu Xiaoxiang's face was not very good, and she didn't know if it was because the group of assassins just now had disturbed her mood or because she was impatient to deal with Helian Chen.

Helian Chen's gaze was full of inquiry, and it fell on Chu Xiaoxiang unabashedly.

He never seemed to have heard from King Tai'an, and the county lord of Yongning could also do martial arts, and his skills were not inferior to Huo Zhao.

Huo Zhao's skills are already first-class, which shows how strong his strength is.

"The assassin has already been interrogated that day, would the county lord be interested in meeting him in person?"

Chu Xiaoxiang seemed to be a little interested in this.

She lowered her posture, as if pleading, "Then I will have to ask His Highness to lead the way." ”

Helian Chen glanced at Huo Zhao, Huo Zhao immediately understood and led the way in front.

The prison is not far from here, just a few steps away.

Chu Xiaoxiang and Zhuohua walked in front and followed the jailer into the prison, but Helian Chen did not immediately follow.

Seeing him stop, Huo Zhao immediately stepped forward.

"Let's find out where she came from."

Huo Zhao took the order and disappeared at the door of the prison.

Helian Chen quickly entered the cell and saw Chu Xiaoxiang holding a whip in his hand, which was wrapped in a circle against the assassin's chin.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of nunnery can raise a woman like Chu Xiaoxiang.

At this end, Chu Xiaoxiang was personally priing open the assassin's mouth, and in the Qiyue Courtyard of the Tai'an Palace, the third lady was looking at Chu Zhishuang with a look of hatred for iron and steel.

"Tell me about you, it's not enough to succeed and more than to lose! Carrying me behind my back and buying the assassin to assassinate Chu Xiaoxiang's cheap girl, if it succeeds, it will be fine, but it will fail! If you fail, you will fail, and you will catch the living! Tell me what you've been thinking about all day! ”

While scolding, Yang felt angry, and directly poked Chu Zhishuang's head with his fingers.

Chu Zhishuang lowered his head unconvinced, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to eat people.

Seeing this, Yang snorted coldly, "Who are you showing this face to me!" You have the ability to go to Chu Xiaoxiang! ”

Chu Zhishuang stopped talking, but lowered his head lower.

"Alright, let's think about what to do now."

Yang sighed, pacing back and forth with his hands on his waist, impatience written all over his face.

In contrast, Chu Zhishuang suddenly became a lot more indifferent.

"Mother, I have a way."

"Do you have a way? What can you do! ”

Yang was so angry that he scolded again.

Chu Zhishuang was unmoved, she attached to Yang's ear and whispered a few words. Yang Shi first frowned tightly, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and agreed to Chu Zhishuang's approach.

In the prison, Chu Xiaoxiang did not use a trace of violence, and just used psychological torture to make the assassin tell the mastermind behind it.

Although the assassin didn't know much, it was enough for Chu Xiaoxiang to deduce who did it.

"County Lord, is it ......?"

Chu Xiaoxiang glanced at Zhuo Hua, and Zhuo Hua immediately shut up.

This matter involves the people of the Tai'an Palace, there are many people here, and it will not be good to expose Chu Zhishuang. It's better to let her handle the housework herself.

"His Royal Highness King Xiang, this assassin will be handed over to you to deal with, Yongning still has something to do, can you take the first step?"

Helian Chen never said a word from beginning to end, and he had been secretly observing Chu Xiaoxiang's interrogation of the assassin.

He felt a little curious about Chu Xiaoxiang's interrogation methods, often the interrogation of officers and soldiers relied on punishment to make people speak, but the little woman in front of him was just playing tricks and scared the assassin into recruiting everything.

The deadliest weapons are often invisible.

It seems that he can promote Chu Xiaoxiang's interrogation methods at the right time.

"The king has already asked people to prepare the carriage, and the county lord can return to the house at any time."

Chu Xiaoxiang thanked Helian Chen, and then led Zhuohua away.

On the way back, Chu Xiaoxiang's mind reappeared from time to time Helian Chen's seductive eyes.

After realizing that he would always think of those eyes, Chu Xiaoxiang squinted slightly, as if he was a little displeased.

"Zhuohua, you go back to Xia Courtyard in a while, and let Tao Yao go to Qiyue Courtyard to make some noise."

In terms of the ability to cause trouble, Tao Yao is obviously much higher than Zhuo Hua.

Back at the palace, Chu Xiaoxiang did not rush back to Xiayuan, but went to see King Tai'an first.

King Tai'an was practicing calligraphy in the study, and when he saw Chu Xiaoxiang coming, he put away the pen in his hand and picked up the completed work on the table.

"Come, see how these words are written?"

Chu Xiaoxiang took a few steps forward, looking at the black and white words in King Tai'an's hand with a confused expression.

When King Tai'an saw it, he was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that his eldest daughter had been raised outside for more than ten years, and she didn't even know a few big characters.

Feeling guilty, he put down the paper in his hand and coughed lightly.

"Did you go out of the house today and meet King Xiang?"

Chu Xiaoxiang nodded.

"Although King Xiang is indifferent by nature and makes people dare not approach, he is much more reliable than those sons and brothers who spend all day drinking and talking flatteringly."

Chu Xiaoxiang was noncommittal.

"Okay, let's go out for a day, let's go back and have a good rest."

"Father, my daughter went to see the Assassin of that day today."

When King Tai'an heard this, he paused when he was about to regain his pen.

He looked up, his expression uncertain.

"But what happened?"

Chu Xiaoxiang narrowed her eyes, she knew that King Tai'an must have known this matter in his heart, and he had not pursued this matter for a long time, firstly because the assassin had been handed over to Helian Chen, and secondly, because of ...... He has his own selfish motives.

Whoever hired the assassin, the person behind it was someone who had been in a relationship with him for more than ten years.

Whether it was his aunts or his daughters, he could not really punish them according to the law.

Therefore, he chose to pretend not to know.

Coming today, Chu Xiaoxiang didn't expect King Tai'an to say anything, but just came to find out his attitude.

"Father, Yongning knows that this matter was the fault of the younger sister in the family for a while, and you, as our father, must be very embarrassed. It's better to hand over this matter to Yongning to deal with, what does my father think? ”

King Tai'an's brows furrowed inadvertently, and after a moment, he sighed, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

These aunts and concubines in the house are people who have been by his side for more than ten years, even if he and the princess have a deep friendship back then and owe a lot to this concubine, he can't treat them equally and deal with them impartially.

Now the eldest daughter offered to settle the matter privately, and he could only agree.

No matter what, it will not be more serious than handing it over to the government.

After getting the answer he wanted, Chu Xiaoxiang left satisfied.

Tao Yao had already gone to Qiyue Courtyard according to Zhuohua's intentions, and she also lived up to expectations and provoked the anger of the third lady and Chu Zhishuang.

When Zhuohua ran to Chu Xiaoxiang to administer justice "anxiously", Tao Yaozheng knelt on the ground with an aggrieved face, trembling all over.

As soon as she saw Chu Xiaoxiang, Tao Yao's tears rushed out as if she had opened the floodgates.

"County Lord! You will do justice to your slaves! ”
