Xiao He was framed by a servant, but he couldn't say it clearly. Now there is indeed a letter sent by Liu Yingluo in her tent, and the people in a tent on the Chishui tribe, plus the guards outside the door, have confirmed that it is indeed a maidservant who claims to be on the order of Lord Xiao to send snacks to the princess.

And the people outside her account only knew that it was the princess's people who brought things to Xiao He. In addition, the dead grass snake venom, the doctors of the first battalion were helpless, and they had to go to the town twenty miles away to pick up medicine, but Xiao He had an antidote.

Even Liu Yingluo refused to see her, and Xiao He knew that he couldn't prove his innocence no matter what.

Daduo didn't want to embarrass Xiao He in this matter, but this matter was not just about him, or Liu Yingluo, it was related to the development of diplomatic relations between Dayin and Chishui, as well as the future situation of the Chishui Royal Court. In order to put an end to Youyou's mouth, he had to express his stance before asking Mu Churan for help.

But Mu Churan refused, although he promised to give Daduo an explanation, but he did not say how he would deal with Xiao He.

Xiao He was only placed under house arrest in his own tent, and was not interrogated or punished.

The autumn hunt has come to an end, and all parties will return to the DPRK one after another tomorrow, obviously Mu Churan wanted to delay it, so he dragged this matter over. But there are also many people on Da Yin's side, "It's better to hand over the prisoners to the King of Chishui, let them deal with them, and let them clear up the relationship." Otherwise, this matter was framed by the traitor villain as Xiao He was secretly caused by His Majesty's will, and the relationship between Chishui and my Da Yin may change. ”

"There are still many doubts in this matter, and if Xiao He is handed over, it is an admission that he is indeed the poisoner, and it may not be of any benefit to the relationship between the two states. The minister thought that at this time, he should be treated coldly on the surface, but he was focused on investigating underneath. "Pang Shi'an, the secretary of Dali Temple, who has always been silent, is always unambiguous when he encounters a case.

Previously, the case of the explosion of the boulder in Jiudan Palace became an unsolved case, which made him regret a lot and has always been haunted. Now he has encountered a case with clear clues but faintly strange, which can't help but make him eager to try.

Mu Churan saw Pang Shi'an speak, and he really said that he was in his mind, and Xiao He could never hand it over. Not to mention that he believed that she would not be poisoned, even if she did, he would definitely save her. "If Pang Qing's words are very sincere, this case will be handed over to you to investigate. On the Red Water King's side, I will send someone to inform you and ask him to cooperate with you as much as possible. ”

Regardless of whether it can be found out or not, after the banquet tomorrow, he will leave with Xiao He.

After all the ministers dispersed, Mu Churan left Pang Shi'an and gave him some instructions before letting him out. Mu Yunjing stayed outside the tent for a while, originally wanting to visit Xiao He, but because Mu Churan gave a ban, he couldn't do so.

Xiao He was imprisoned in the tent, not because she was worried about her safety, she was worried about Liu Yingluo.

When Mu Churan entered, he saw that the food on the table had not been moved, and his eyebrows moved slightly.

"Why don't you eat something?"

Xu is Xiao He was used to Mu Churan's attitude towards himself in private, and he didn't bother to salute, so he smiled bitterly, "I can't eat it." Does Your Majesty know that Princess Chishui is okay now? ”

"She's fine, she's just a little weaker, and if it weren't for your antidote, I'm afraid she wouldn't have survived tonight. Now I've finally picked up a life. It's always good to be alive, and you don't have to worry too much. Mu Churan sat down beside her, as if persuading.

Once upon a time, Xiao He also seemed to have heard similar words, ringing in his ears - as long as he is alive, there is still hope for everything.

She knew that all this was a conspiracy, and it was Murong who designed to drive a wedge between Da Yin and the Chishui tribe, but she couldn't say that she was completely innocent. Although it is true that the pastries were not sent by her, she knows the cause of everything, and she also knows the people behind it.

Liu Yingluo's child is gone, do you want her to tell Yingluo in person, this is a plan to pull Mu Churan off the throne, your sacrifice is inevitable, even if it is not you, it will be someone else. She couldn't say it, and she wasn't qualified.

Liu Yingluo hates her now, and she deserves it. On this road of revenge, when she took the first step, she should have expected that there would be such a situation today. Especially when she decided to join Murong's camp and restore Mu Yunjing, the battle for the dragon chair in history has never been smooth sailing. The victory of the king has always been trampled on the bones of others, and the sword is bloodless and cannot determine the world.

Suddenly, self-blame and grief came to her heart, and she closed her eyes, leaving only a silent sigh, her chest pressing down like a boulder, making it impossible for her to breathe. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her by the shoulder and took her into his arms.

"I believe in you." Mu Churan said softly, "I know you are innocent. ”

I'm afraid that it was the first time, Xiao He actually felt a little comforted by the warmth from his body. But how is this not ironic, she is not worthy of his trust, and she is not innocent, but the pain in her heart still has to be calmed by his care.

She raised her eyes and looked at him, "What if I'm not innocent?" ”

After she asked this, her heart beat wildly, and she knew exactly what the situation she would face in the future, but she still had a trace of luck. What was she looking forward to, or what was she tempting? Only at this moment, she herself couldn't tell.

Mu Churan's eyes were as bright as stars, staring at Xiao He, and after a moment, he said slowly: "Then you must have a hard time." ”

She once hated the smell of ambergris on his body, but she didn't know when she got used to it, and then became less annoying, and at some point she suddenly felt that the smell was a little warm.

And at the moment, when she heard this, she was full of emotion in her heart. Whoever believes in me should not be you.

Although it was only a unitary hour, it was already as quiet as late at night. The dry and cold weather of this night was inevitably a little cold. At this time of the year, the imperial capital only wears a smock during the day, and it is too late to cover the bed and thin quilt at night, but you can feel the chill in the bones without a coat on this grassland.

Xu is because of some cold, which weakens people's will, Xu is because his words touched some soft realm in her heart, although Xiao He did not drink, he was slightly drunk, hot-headed, and his cheeks were hot.

She reached out and clasped herself around his waist and threw herself into his arms, regardless of her identity, etiquette, or the last bit of defense in her heart. If he wasn't Mu Churan, if he wasn't an emperor, just an ordinary person, how good would it be.

Coveting body temperature, and hugging posture, only for a moment, is an extremely luxurious indulgence for her.

After reminiscing, she came back to her senses, and when she wanted to let go, she was hugged tightly by him.

It was the first time she had taken the initiative, even though it was because of her emotional instability, but it made him feel that she also had moments of vulnerability and helplessness, and that she really had herself in her heart, which was enough to make him leave everything behind.

Xiao He struggled in his arms, and seeing that he didn't let go, he had to excuse himself: "I'm hungry." ”

Mu Churan let go of his embrace when he heard this, "Those dishes are already cold, they are all meat, you have to eat them while they are hot, and let people heat them up for you." So saying, he got up and went out and commanded his men.

Xiao He looked at his back, and a smile that he hadn't even noticed floated on the corner of his mouth.

Pang Shi'an received the holy will and ran around the camp, visiting everywhere.

King Daduo of Chishui also sent Fu Meng to assist him in his investigation, and Pang Shi'an has always been extremely efficient. After asking the relevant people, I realized that there was one less maid in the princess's tent, and she was executed by Daduo's order after the incident.

Coincidentally, this maid was the woman who followed Daduo aggressively in King Mu Churan's tent before.

Even if the women on the grassland have always been informal, they are more outgoing than the women of Dayin. But there is also a distinction between dignity and inferiority. When the ordinary maids questioned Pang Shi'an, they all lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, and they were very nervous. Why did that woman go to King Mu Churan's tent, in front of so many people, she could still be sharp-tongued.

If she was really clever, how could she deliberately offend her master afterwards and be sentenced to death?

After Pang Shi'an told Fu Meng about his doubts, Fu Meng also felt that something was wrong.

After following the investigation, it was discovered that although the servant girl was ordered to be executed by the King of Chishui, she had already lost her breath before the punishment, and the body did not know where to go. This camp is not big, but it is not small, and if you want to find a place to hide the corpses, it is most likely to be in the forest around the camp.

The two parties, plus the helpers sent by Otsuki's side, searched carefully together, just to find the body of a handmaid.

It was not until dawn on the second day that a woman's corpse was found in the woods half a mile outside the camp, but her coat had been stripped off. invited the accompanying imperial doctor to examine the body, only to learn that the woman had died three days earlier, and that she had died of poisoning.

Let the people around the princess come to identify, although the face is a little difficult to identify, and there is no obvious clothing, but looking at the hairstyle and outline, you can vaguely recognize the person next to the princess. If this woman had died three days earlier, who would have been lurking around the princess in the form of a woman ever since?

Pang Shi'an does not believe in ghosts and gods, but only believes that someone deliberately did it.

After the truth is revealed, if no conclusive evidence is found to prove Xiao He's innocence, but most of the suspicions come from the Chishui King's own side, if there are spies mixed in there, it is also possible.

Daduo didn't believe that Xiao He would be poisoned, so he took the initiative to thank Xiao He for saving his princess by giving medicine before. After this public statement, Mu Churan naturally lifted Xiao He's ban and exempted her from all responsibility.

When the news reached Liu Yingluo, she was originally weak, her face was pale, and after hearing it, she turned even more blue.

"The king really doesn't blame Xiao He?" She asked, grabbing her personal maid.

The handmaiden replied truthfully, "Yes." Because Ah Lan's body was found to have died three days ago, the adults on Da Yin's side said that someone was pretending to be Ah Lan to stir up trouble, and the person who poisoned her could also be her. So that Lord Xiao was already released without anything and walked around freely. The king also thanked him for the antidote. ”

Liu Yingluo couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
