"I didn't."

Gu Xiqian immediately retorted loudly.

Mu Zuo smiled, and his smile inexplicably made Gu Xiqian feel uncomfortable.

He also said, "What is the county lord anxious about? The subordinates just asked according to the rules, and there was no malice! ”

Gu Xi gritted his teeth angrily.

Mu Zuo quickly restrained his smile and asked again: "Does the county lord have any evidence to prove that the emperor's poison was not caused by you?" ”

"No!" Gu Xiqian gritted her teeth.

Mu Zuo looked clear and said: "County lord, you have no evidence to prove that you were not poisoned, and at the time of the incident, there were only you and the emperor in the imperial study, if the county lord is not the murderer, his subordinates really can't find a second suspect!" ”

After speaking, his face changed, and he was as hideous as a demon from hell.

"Gu Xiqian!" He called her name, not the county lord.

He said: "The evidence is conclusive, you still don't admit your guilt!" ”

"Huh!" Gu Xiqian laughed angrily directly, what kind of evidence is this?

What kind of interrogation process is it?

Mu Zuo twisted his eyebrows, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I laugh at you for being stupid!" Gu Xiqian said coldly: "I ask you, if I am the murderer, why don't I leave in a hurry after the murder, so stupidly waiting for the imperial study to let you arrest!" ”

Mu Zuo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Maybe this is your strength, and it is sure that we can't guess your true thoughts, so we misjudge." ”

Gu Xi was angry, and said: "Then let me ask you again, does my Nanyue National Criminal Prison Code stipulate that the conviction of a person must require all human and material evidence, and all of them are indispensable?" ”

"That's nature!" Mu Zuo replied without thinking about it. ”

"Good!" Gu Xiqian's voice was a little colder, "Then let me ask the pastoral guards, do you think I have committed the crime of killing the king?" Where are the witnesses? Where is the physical evidence? ”

Mu Zuo heard it and realized that he was being led by the nose.

Gu Xiqian didn't give him a chance to refute, and said: "There is no evidence and no physical evidence, you want to condemn me, and you want to torture me, pastoral guards, do you want to be beaten into a trick?" ”

The last sentence, she pronounced it with a special accent, and her glass-like eyes also looked straight into Mu Zuo's eyes, so that he could not escape and face his own questioning.

But Mu Zuo has also been infiltrated in the big dye vat in the capital for many years, how can he be so easily bluffed?

He was silent for a moment and said, "Lord Ronghui wants evidence, right?" ”

Gu Xiqian nodded hesitantly, why did Mu Zuo's appearance make her even more uneasy?

Mu Zuo glanced at the guards waiting next to him and said, "Since Lord Ronghui wants evidence, then let's hurry up and show her evidence!" ”

Gu Xiqian's pupils fluttered, because when the two guards heard this, they walked towards the torture rack and took a finger.

"Mu Zuo, I am the lord of Ronghui personally appointed by His Majesty, and my fiancé is the prince of Yunnan, you dare to do it to me!"

Mu Zuo sneered, "Hehe, Lord Ronghui, have you forgotten that the person you poisoned yourself is a saint?" Is it too late to talk to me about status here? ”

"I said I didn't, I couldn't do that kind of thing!"

This Mu Zuo is a brain that lacks roots!

Mu Zuo ignored her, he motioned to his subordinates to do it, and said, "Whether you have it or not, I will know soon." ”

It seems that he has made up his mind to pay attention to the punishment first.

Gu Xiqian jumped up from the chair and wanted to escape, but immediately a guard pressed her shoulder and sat her firmly on the chair, and the other two guards didn't have any chance for her to break free, and forced her ten fingers into her fingers.

Ten fingers to heart.

She could imagine how much it hurt!

Gu Xiqian's body trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Mu Zuo was very satisfied, and said sharply: "Gu Xiqian, let me ask you again, why do you want to poison the Holy Lord, what ulterior motives do you have!" ”

Gu Xiqian's teeth trembled, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted: "I didn't!" ”

"It seems that if you don't give some color, the county lord won't tell the truth!" Mu Zuo glanced at the guards who were pulling the torture instruments on the left and right, and ordered: "Do it!" ”

No!

Gu Xiqian screamed bitterly in her heart, and subconsciously closed her eyes.

……

The expected pain didn't strike.

Immediately afterwards, I heard someone outside singing: "The prince of Yunnan has arrived!" ”

He's coming!

Gu Xiqian breathed a sigh of relief, if he came, it would mean that she was fine.

She slowly opened her eyes and found that there were a few more black-clothed people in the torture room at some point, and they silently restrained all the Ouchi guards, including Mu Zuo, the leader of the Ouchi guards.

There was movement at the doorway again.

Gu Xiqian looked back, and saw Mo Xuanyin, who was dressed in white, and walked in with a cold face, as soon as he entered the door, his black eyes swept towards the torture instrument she was still carrying, and his black eyes narrowed dangerously, and his eyes shot towards Mu Zuo like a knife.

The thin lips opened slightly, and the words that came out seemed to be hiding ice.

"Pastoral guard, is this intended to provoke the two countries to go to war?"

Mu Zuo originally wanted to use his impartiality to excuse himself, but he was so frightened by his words that he broke out in a cold sweat, if he really caused a war between the two countries, even if he had a head, it would not be enough to cut off his head!

He hurriedly said: "Yunnan Wang Shizi, you misunderstood, I just want to scare the county lord, he is the county lord, how dare we really torture her!" ”

Gu Xiqian frowned, his previous attitude didn't look like he was just scaring her.

I heard him flattering again: "There is no way for the small ones, there are no human or physical evidence, and the small ones have no way to start, so they can only find some clues from the county lord!" ”

The speed of changing faces is jaw-dropping!

Mo Xuanyin sneered, "This is the excuse you made for your incompetence?" ”

Mu Zuo was choked by his poisonous tongue, and his face turned the color of pig liver.

"Thank you for saving me!" Gu Xiqian sincerely thanked her.

Mo Xuanyin glanced at her with an indifferent expression, and then said to Mu Zuo, "I have already shown the queen mother, and I will take over the investigation of the emperor's poisoning case, Lord Ronghui, I will take it away!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, not giving Mu Zuo a chance to answer at all.

Gu Xiqian didn't hesitate, immediately threw away her fingers, and hurriedly followed.

Mo Xuanyin's steps were very big, Gu Xiqian needed to trot to keep up, and soon, the two of them were out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and the moment they came into contact with the sunlight outside, Gu Xiqian felt that she was completely alive.

She glanced back at the gloomy prison under the scorching sun, and swore in her heart that she would never have a chance to go in the future.

"What are you going to do?" Mo Xuanyin suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Gu Xiqian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he said.

Mo Xuanyin glanced at her, her eyes unclear.

He said, "How are you going to clear your name?" ”

Gu Xiqian blinked, "You believe me?" ”

"You're not that stupid!" He said.

Belch......

Is this a boast?

Gu Xiqian thought for a while and said, "I want to find out the truth myself." ”

Mo Xuanyin glanced at her again and said, "It's okay, without your assistance in this matter, I'm afraid the truth will never be found." ”

Along the way, Gu Xiqian's thoughts stayed on the banquet. She has to try to remember and find a breakthrough.

After arriving at the dormitory, the queen looked at Mo Xuanyin and Gu Xiqian with an angry face.

"Attend the emperor, the queen." After Gu Xiqian finished saluting, he relieved Mo Xuanyin and said, "I want to come by myself." ”

"What are you going to do?" The queen sneered. She felt that Gu Xiqian's courage was too big.

Gu Xiqian glanced at the emperor who had not woken up on the bed, obviously a little anxious.

"I'm vindication of my innocence." Gu Xiqian never withdrew her eyes from the queen's eyes, and replied confidently.

The queen scoffed, and then focused her attention on the emperor again.

"Imperial Doctor, what kind of poison is in the emperor?" The queen walked over to the bed and asked with an anxious expression. I saw that the imperial doctor pulled out the silver needle from the emperor's body, took it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and his face became a little gloomy.

"The poison in the emperor is not highly poisonous, but it is very rare......" The imperial doctor said intermittently as he looked at the silver needle.

"When will the emperor wake up?" The queen bit her lip and said anxiously.

Suddenly, the emperor woke up with a coughing sound.

"I seem to have seen the emperor's poisoning state somewhere." Gu Xiqian fell into some contemplation.

Finally, she remembered.

"I know what kind of poison is in the emperor." Gu Xiqian suddenly spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the poisonous species from the Yan Kingdom." When I was a child, my grandfather planted the same poison. ”

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiqian's words completely angered the queen.

"Nonsense. Someone came and put her in prison. As soon as the queen gave the order, the general took the guards to arrest Gu Xiqian.

"Queen, listen to me...... The emperor ......" Gu Xiqian tried his best to resist, but was dragged out by the general and others.

The emperor was extremely weak, and his whole mind was also caught in the question of why he was poisoned.

"A few of you will first boil the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor." The queen handed the prescription to the maid.

She is still very angry now, she thinks that Gu Xiqian can actually splash dirty water on Yan Guo, and she will never spare her easily.

"I suddenly remembered that the prince of Yan Guo was also present at the banquet." The emperor seemed to remember something in combination with what Gu Xiqian had just said. "It's all because the concubines are not good, what temple fairs do you go, but you didn't even attend the emperor's banquet, which made the emperor ...... like this" Suddenly, the queen approached the bedside.

The emperor opened his mouth and said a little weakly: "Okay, I'm not okay now?" Hurry up and have someone fetch the cups I used at the banquet. ”

After a while, the queen came in with a cup.

"Your Majesty, after the inspection of the ministers, this cup does contain the poisonous toxins in your body." The imperial doctor suddenly brightened up and hurriedly stepped forward to report.

"In this way, I remember that this glass of wine was poured by the prince of Yan Kingdom. Could it be ......" The emperor thought about it, and suddenly his mouth suddenly opened.

The imperial doctor swept his beard, compared the silver needle with the cup, and couldn't help but say, "This is indeed the poisonous species of the Yan Kingdom. ”

Hearing his words, the queen's face changed instantly. "Nonsense, my country has always had no grievances or enmity with the Yan Kingdom, why do they want to harm the emperor?" The queen thought it was incredible.

"There is no half-lying word in the minister." The Imperial Doctor knelt down in fright and assured.

The emperor waved his hand at them, and said angrily: "What a prince of Yan Kingdom, he is so bold. ”

"Your Majesty, you have just recovered your dragon body now, and it is not appropriate to ......," the queen hurriedly spoke.

"Bring someone to release the county lord." The emperor has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and he doesn't want to wronged any good person.
