In the imperial study room of Chonghua Palace, the incense in the room is surrounded by light smoke.

Xiao Yiqian stretched out his hand to support the table and supported his forehead with one hand.

Wuying knelt in the center of the room, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, last night the county lord of Fenghua went to the abandoned palace by herself, and she also let An Lanwei hold her hostage." ”

Xiao Yiqian closed his eyes tightly and tilted his head, his slender fingers rubbed his forehead, and there was no trace of warmth on his cold face.

I don't know how long it took, he asked lazily, "Can An Xuqiao keep up with you?" ”

Wuying lowered his head, "Please punish the emperor, An Xuqiao, I lost it." ”

After speaking, he immediately said: "But my subordinates have sent people to investigate in detail in the area of Hedi. ”

Xiao Yiqian opened his eyes, glanced at the shadowless kneeling underneath, and said lightly: "It's the punishment, do you know why you should be punished?" ”

Wuying's mind turned quickly, just said that An Xuqiao's side had been lost, and the emperor's expression had not changed, so it could be seen that it was not about An Xuqiao and the others.

When it was mentioned that the county lord of Fenghua deliberately let An Lanwei hold him hostage, the emperor was not angry.

Previously, when the emperor asked him to secretly protect the county lord of Fenghua, he said that he would protect her in any situation.

He reacted immediately, leaned over and kowtowed, "My subordinates have not protected the Fenghua County Lord, so they should be punished." ”

"Take the punishment."

"The subordinates retired."

After a long time, Xiao Yiqian sat up straight and leaned back on the chair behind, his eyes like a bottomless cold pool, staring quietly out of the house.

He reached out and picked up a notebook on the dragon's desk, opened it at random, glanced at it, and threw it away with great impatience.

On the fold is the list of cleaning up King Run's henchmen, among which there are six or seven ministers in the court, these people are easy to deal with, but the Shen family is also on the list, the Shen family has been generals for generations, and now although the military power has been taken away and there is no name, the century-old connections are still in the court.

This time King Run's rebellion, the Shen family did not participate in the slightest at all, if the execution was carried out by King Run's henchmen, it would inevitably make people think that it was a crime to add to it.

There is no court today, and all the twists and turns are piled up in the imperial study.

Xiao Yiqian picked up the top fold again, as he expected, it was an excerpt urging the immediate future.

He took a deep breath, put the fold back in its place, and continued to bow his head to support his forehead.

Li Shihai put on a smiling face, trotted in, and said, "Your Majesty, the county lord of Fenghua is here." ”

Xiao Yiqian's eyes twitched slightly, and then closed his eyes, "Let her recuperate well." ”

Li Shihai was stunned, thinking that the emperor was in a bad mood, and the arrival of the county lord of Fenghua would make him feel better, but he didn't want to, the emperor didn't see her at all.

"Minion, let the county lord go back." He turned around and walked out with hurried steps, and just when he reached the door, he heard Xiao Yiqian say coldly: "Close the door." ”

Li Shihai turned around and exited the room and gently closed the door.

However, Li Shihai had just gone out, and soon turned back into the house.

Xiao Yiqian's eyes gradually solidified a cold air, threw the fold in front of him in front of him, and said angrily: "I didn't say it, I don't see it." ”

Li Shihai was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, as if he was about to cry, and said in fear: "The county lord said that you didn't see her, so she knelt outside the door and didn't leave." ”

Xiao Yiqian's gaze slowly became soft, and after a long time, he sighed and said helplessly: "Let her in." ”

Li Shihai hurriedly got up and ran out with a bitter face.

Ming Ran appeared at the door of the room in a white cloud brocade, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked closer against the sun.

Xiao Yiqian's heart warmed, looked at her and said, "You have an injury on your body, you don't have to salute." ”

Mingran didn't seem to hear it, walked to the middle and knelt down, bowed his head, "Mingran is guilty, please punish the emperor." ”

The softness in Xiao Yiqian's heart disappeared in an instant, and he stared at her with a gloomy expression, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what are your crimes?" ”

Ming Ran pursed her lower lip, she had thought before she came, she would definitely not be able to hide what happened last night from Xiao Yiqian, in case he caught the handle and counted the matter on the head of the Hou Mansion, she might as well confess it early in the morning.

After coming to the imperial study, she was informed by Li Gonggong that the emperor did not want to see her, and she knew it, and Xiao Yiqian must have known it.

If she tells everything about last night, her help to An Xuqiao will become a conspiracy with a traitor.

No, you can't confess.

She leaned over and slammed her head on the smooth and cold ground, and said in a sincere tone: "I shouldn't have gone to see An Lanwei, I missed the emperor's time to clean up the traitors." ”

Xiao Yiqian smiled coldly, "You, you were held hostage last night to see An Lanwei?" ”

Ming Ran's head on the ground turned a thousand times, and he said stubbornly: "Yes." ”

"But you have always been at odds with An Lanwei, why do you still go to see her, and why do you want to go late at night?"

Mingran secretly screamed in her heart, Xiao Yiqian's penetrating tone made her uneasy, she couldn't panic, Xiao Yiqian was suspicious.

She raised her head and said in an innocent tone, "Because she is An Xuqiao's sister, I should naturally go to visit." ”

Xiao Yiqian's eyebrows and eyes were smiling secretly, staring directly at Ming Ran.

Mingran felt weak for a while, and secretly comforted him, he didn't have any evidence, as long as he didn't admit it, he couldn't torture her.

She pretended to be calm, and her eyes did not dare to dodge and look at him.

Xiao Yiqian grinned, "Get up, you are also unintentional, no wonder you." ”

Mingran quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this matter can be regarded as a turning page.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and got up slowly, only to hear Xiao Yiqian say again: "It happened that An Xuqiao escaped from the city last night and found out his hiding place, so it is also your credit." ”

Ming Ran's action of getting up paused, she looked at Xiao Yiqian in amazement, and asked in disbelief, "He...... He was arrested? ”

Xiao Yiqian didn't answer, smiled and walked out from behind the dragon case, walked in front of Ming Ran, and looked at the wound on her neck.

"Purple Dew Cream is an ointment that was once made endlessly, although he has passed away, his medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and he will definitely not cause you to leave a scar."

He turned and walked with small steps towards the cabinet.

A far-fetched smile curled up at the corner of Ming Ran's mouth, and he reached out and touched the scar on his neck.

"Your Majesty, An ......"

"You shouldn't ask, you better ask less." He interrupted her gently.

Mingran pouted.

Xiao Yiqian saw that she was not ready to leave, and reminded her loudly: "Since you have already asked for sin, go back." ”

His words just now made Ming Ran's whole heart lift, could it be that An Xuqiao was arrested so quickly?

She leaned over and glanced at his face, which was smiling, but it didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

She didn't dare to ask any more, she bowed slightly, and said helplessly: "Mingran retired." ”

Xiao Yiqian sat on the soft couch, and when he saw that there was no figure in the room, he got up and walked out.

He looked at her departing back and smiled, did she come to plead guilty? She clearly wanted to get rid of the crime.

But Xiao Yiqian's face immediately turned cold again, thinking that he knew what she had done, but he chose to connive?

knew that she had done such a big wrong, but she was reluctant to blame, and she was fooled by her in a few words.

"Alas......"
