"Your Majesty, what Yi Ziya has known about her in the past few days, there may be someone else who is this puppet," Lu Ziya said expressionlessly, but Ling Ran was taken aback, she didn't expect this princess to help her speak.

However, it turned out that everything was overthought by her.

I only heard Lu Ziya continue:

"But she was punished so heavily for no reason before, and she must have hatred for Yun Guo in her heart, so even if she did this, it would be common sense."

"Hmm. Not bad. Objective! Bai Yi nodded approvingly, suddenly stood up, and walked towards Ling Ran:

"My Yunguo's punishment for this crime has always been hanging. However, forgive your husband while he is still on the battlefield, so I will give you a light one. Say," Bai Yi threw a roll of bamboo slips at her, "Which one do you want?" ”

Ling Ran stared at the faintly displayed words 'palace punishment' on the bamboo slip, her throat couldn't help but tighten a little, her chest rose and fell, she pursed her lips, but she didn't pick up the bamboo slip······

Everyone's eyes were focused on her fingertips, but her heart was desolate.

When did her life and fate become like this?

Returning to the palace for punishment······ This is more than slander and torture, this is simply insulting! Naked ~ naked ~ naked ~ insult!

"I've given you a choice,——

"What else is there besides the palace punishment?" Ling Ran suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Bai Yi.

"Charcoal dance punishment. Queen, you invented it, explain it to her. ”

Half a second of silence.

"The so-called charcoal dance punishment, as the name suggests, is to make the prisoner dance barefoot on the red-hot charcoal rack for the national reward. There are seven rounds in five-minute rounds, with a one-minute break between each round. Empress Jing explained methodically, and added a sentence soon after:

"It doesn't sound painful, but since the rules were established, no one has finished two rounds, and in the end, they all kill themselves with life rather than death."

After Empress Jing finished explaining, everyone looked back at Ling Ran again, only to see her take a deep breath and say:

"Since there is a precedent ahead, and I don't want to bear the palace punishment, then the cheap life of the people's girl is actually not long left. It's just ······ Can you implore the emperor to give the people three more days to investigate this matter thoroughly? Ling Ran bowed down and bowed to Bai Yi, looking very pious:

"If the investigation is clear, the emperor will have less worries about the traitor, even if he can't find out, it will not be in vain for the people's daughter to be tortured."

Bai Yi's thick eyebrows frowned slightly when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but Lu Ziya suddenly said loudly:

"But you have no relatives and no reason here, how can you thoroughly investigate this matter on your own?"

Ling Ran smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Lu Ziya:

"Crown Princess, are you caring about the people's daughter? Then thank you in advance, the people have their own arrangements, it depends on whether the people in your house are willing to cooperate with me to investigate thoroughly. If you want me to say, my Ling Ran's hiding place is rarely known except for the people in the mansion, so at present, the people in your prince's mansion are the first suspect······ Then check it, or don't check your house, the outcome may be completely different. ”

Lu Ziya was stunned for a moment, and said sharply:

"Presumptuous! Do you mean that this puppet was created by someone in my house? Then I'll tell you right now, hundreds of people in my house have been loyal to the Great Cloud Country for many years, and even dogs won't sneak out!······ Your Majesty, I think it is more appropriate to execute directly, anyway, all the physical evidence points to her, and she is just a girl from the Xiao Kingdom, and it is not a pity to die. Save the night from dreaming a lot, and something goes wrong, which makes people upset. ”

"Sister Ziya, don't be angry," Empress Jing suddenly said, "It's a human life anyway, I think it's better to let her go and investigate, in case something is really found, the emperor will be more at ease." ”

"Huh! The queen is right, if someone really plots against me, it's not impossible," Bai Yi echoed, glanced down at Ling Ran, and walked towards the dragon chair again, "I, allow you to investigate." Get up. You are given three days. ”

"Your Majesty." Ling Ran rubbed his knees, which were sore from his knees, and it took him a long time to stand up straight.

"Li catches the head." Bai Yi said.

"In!" A loud voice immediately came from the entrance of the temple.

Ling Ran followed the prestige, only to see a burly man walking towards this side, his face giving people a very upright appearance, and a bunch of spears and sharp weapons that she couldn't name on his back.

"I'll leave this to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will be ready to assist her in handling the case." Li Zhutou glanced at Ling Ran and replied.

——————

Ling Ran really found that when she was serious about something, time always slipped away so fast that she couldn't catch it.

No, in the blink of an eye, half of her three-day deadline had passed······

However, things did not go as well as they could have done.

She thought that the little maids who often came to her bedroom to clean would give some clues, but nothing came out······

So he had to sit on the bench in the back pavilion of the prince's mansion sullenly, with his feet raised to the stool, holding his cheeks, thinking about how likely he could be to sneak out by using the remaining half a day.

"Princess Xuan?"

Li Zhutou's voice suddenly came, and Ling Ran was so startled that he almost shook off the stool with his feet, and simply put his feet down.

"Li Zhutou? What are you doing here. ”

"It's very painful to see you sitting here alone, let's talk to you." Li Zhutou also sat down, sitting opposite her, his arms elbowed on his knees, his hands clasped, casually looking at the scenery behind Ling Ran.

This familiar action reminded Ling Ran of that stinky prince······

The man didn't know what was going on, and he hadn't heard from him at all.

How would he feel if he knew he was about to dance on the burning coals?

"I actually don't think you're the puppet person." Li Zhutou suddenly spoke, interrupting Ling Ran's conjecture outside the clouds.
