"Sorry for disturbing the crown princess," Ling Ran took the sword and saluted Lu Ziya, knowing that if a person is under the eaves, his head should be lowered, "But this map was indeed found under her pillow, and she didn't say anything in the end······ Li Zhutou can testify. I believe that you are fair, so I ask for your cooperation and cooperation, and we will try the real culprit behind the scenes. ”

There was silence for a while.

Suddenly, Lu Ziya strode towards Ling Ran's side, carrying a face that seemed to hide anger.

The maid glanced at Ling Ran with some smugness.

Ling Ran ignored the provocative gaze beside him, and saw that Lu Ziya just raised his arm like that, as if he was about to slap him in the face, so he simply closed his eyes, too lazy to dodge, anyway, it was just a slap······

Li is here, and the ironclad evidence is here, and she will be able to turn the tables sooner or later.

And on the day she turns the tables, what she gives back to Lu Ziya is not just a slap!

However, just listen to "Smack! There was no pain on Ling Ran's face.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that the palm had hit the maid in the face.

"The Crown Princess's ······" The maid obviously didn't expect it, looked at Lu Ziya in disbelief, and said tremblingly, "You······ Don't you believe in slaves either? ”

"You are careless, your sins are unforgivable, and you deserve them. Tomorrow we will wait for the face saint. ”

Paralyzing carelessness······? There didn't seem to be something quite wrong with this wording, Ling Ran glanced at Lu Ziya with some suspicion, and thought.

"Please take a look!" The maid knelt forward, tears fell again, and knelt forward and pulled the corner of Lu Ziya's skirt, "The slave doesn't know anything, the slave and the maid were framed······ The slave really doesn't know anything······"

But Lu Ziya looked away coldly:

"Xue'er, take her down, guard her strictly, and once you find out that someone wants to communicate with her, she will bring her to the court tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Slow!" Li Zhutou, who had been silent before, suddenly interrupted, "Niangniang's mood is slightly understood, but in order to avoid gossip, I will take her to the yamen to live temporarily." ”

"It's fine. Xue'er, send Master Li out of the house," Lu Ziya watched Li Zhutou escort the maid away, and then turned to Ling Ran, "Yes, you have the ability." Go back to your room and rest, and when the matter is completed tomorrow, the palace will send someone to escort you back to the Xuan Palace. ”

"Then there's Lao Niangniang to worry about." Ling Ran bowed to her obediently, and then went back to the room to rest, only hoping that tomorrow would be smooth.

Next.

Chaolong Hall.

Everyone held their breath and waited for someone to appear.

No, two people to be exact······

"Not there yet?" Bai Yi paced back and forth in front of the dragon chair, glancing at Ling Ran from time to time.

Ling Ran was standing alone in the center of the hall at the moment, against the backdrop of the magnificent and wide hall, her small body was so thin and small, but she was straightening her waist, and there was not the slightest fear on her little face.

"Back to the emperor, Li Zhutou really hasn't arrived. However, Weichen has already sent people to look for it separately, calculate the time, and now it should be on the way back. Among the hundreds of civil and military officials on both sides of the hall, a man suddenly stood up.

"Hmm." Bai Yiyi didn't stop, pacing back and forth, "Are the charcoal fires ready?" ”

"Back to the emperor, everything is ready, just wait for the emperor's will." An old man with gray temples stepped forward and said.

"Hmm."

The audience fell silent again.

Until ······

"Report ——! Your Majesty, we didn't find Li Zhutou in the Yamen and Li Mansion, but on the way back, we found out about a murder that happened late last night······ After an autopsy, it was Li Zhutou. At the same time, next to him, there was a female corpse, dressed like a maid in the mansion of a dignitary······"

The joints of Ling Ran's clenched fists turned white inch by inch as the guard spoke, and the wind blew slowly from behind her, making the back of her neck soaked in cold sweat a piercing coldness.

"It seems that I have lost another arm," Bai Yi sighed and said regretfully, then returned his gaze to Ling Ran's slightly pale face, "Ling Ran, where were you last night?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the people's daughter slept in the room at that time, and the guards guarding the door in the house can corroborate it." Ling Ran looked directly at Bai Yi and replied.

She secretly cheered herself up, even if the witness died, she was innocent, and she must not lose in her aura.

"The guards at the door? Are you coming? Bai Yi looked around and waited for a while, but no one stood up to answer.

Seeing this, he sat back on the dragon chair and looked at Ling Ran seriously:

"I've given you three days. Three days. What can be found? ”

"Back to the emperor, the folk girl and Li Zhutou found this map under the pillow of a maid in the prince's mansion," Ling Ran took out the small map from his arms and presented it to him, "This map was made by the folk girl for the Hui Xiao Kingdom, and it was put in a small cardboard box on the bedside table by the folk girl······ But when the guards came to search, they found that it had been replaced with the puppet. ”

"Hmm······ It's true that it doesn't look like a native drawing," Bai Yi looked at the map for a while, "but how do you prove that this thing was not drawn by you in the past two days?" ”

Everyone's eyes fell back on Ling Ran.

"I ······" Ling Ran was speechless for a while, but soon his tone returned to normal, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask a few guards who searched the Prince's Mansion that day to come out and screen it, but they didn't have it on the day of the search—" but was interrupted by Bai Yi:

"That group of guards has been transferred out to support my emperor."

Ling Ran was stunned for a moment, "Then the emperor can also take a closer look at the ink on this map, because this map was made by the people in seven days, with the prince's mansion as the center and extending outward, and the degree of drying of the ink in almost every area is very different." ”

Unexpectedly, after observing the map for a while, Bai Yi said casually:

"There are high imitators in the palace. I can order someone to come out right now. Even if it's more true than this. ”
