At this moment, the whole capital exploded, and the fact that Emperor Chu wanted to personally interrogate the concubines of the Xiao family had already been known to everyone, and when Xiao Changge was mentioned, there was nothing more than abuse and accusations.

In the past, what Xiao Changge did was not excessive, but now it has intensified, and he will not let go of even a beggar who has no power to restrain the chicken.

In front of everyone that day, she threatened the little beggar with her loyalty to Wen Yi, and after that, the little beggar really had an accident, and this matter must have something to do with Xiao Changge!

After Xiao Yongde returned home, the Yan family immediately surrounded him, put away his coat and hung it on the shelf.

"Master, I heard that even the emperor was alarmed by the matter of Changge?"

Yan asked with a worried face, but he was afraid that even the old lady would know about it.

"Hey, yes, the trial will start in three days, and the emperor wants me to accompany Xu Zhan and the four princes, and he will interrogate him personally."

Xiao Yongde sighed, remembering what Chu Yu had said to him outside the imperial study.

Do you believe Xiao Changge once?

The cool breeze blew, and the candle flame flickered, reflecting the sad face.

Yan's eyes rolled, this matter was really beyond her expectations, it was a trivial matter that alarmed the emperor.

"Now that the emperor wants to interrogate this matter personally, we can't do anything about it."

Yan was right, the emperor had no choice but to resign himself to his fate.

"Wait for three days, rest early, Ming'er I still have to go to the Four Princes' Mansion and visit the Four Highnesses."

Xiao Yongde squinted, and as soon as he mentioned that the tiredness on Chu Yu's face had dissipated, he rubbed his forehead, Yan stood behind him and gently slapped his back, the corners of Yan's mouth pulled a smile, and he looked at the painting hanging opposite her.

Emperor Chu personally interrogated, if Xiao Changge couldn't come up with evidence, there was only one way out! She was looking forward to the interrogation.

She shouldn't have lived in this world, she should have died with her lowly mother.

The bowl of abortion decoction was a little slower, otherwise this concubine's position should be Le'er!

"Yes."

Yan replied softly, Xiao Yongde stretched his waist and moved his shin to the bed, just as Yan also wanted to get into the bed, the knock on the door outside interrupted her movements.

"Who?"

Yan glanced in the direction of the door, a little displeased.

"Madame, say me."

Mama Zhou's sharp and mean voice sounded outside, and Yan's eyes turned to look at Xiao Yongde, afraid that Xiao Yongde was too tired to run around today, so he fell asleep when he lay down.

Looking at Xiao Yongde, who was already asleep and snoring, she put on a coat and went to open the door.

Now that it's so late, Mama Zhou came to disturb, and she heard the knock on the door very quickly, afraid that something had happened.

"What's the matter?"

Yan swept to Mama Zhou and asked coldly.

"Madame......"

Mama Zhou shouted softly, glanced left and right, and saw that no one was whispering a few words in Yan's ear.

I saw that Yan's face changed slightly, his willow eyebrows were lightly raised, and his eyes narrowed slightly, which was quite cloudy.

"Zhu'er's courage seems to have been fattened in the West Courtyard."

Yan smiled and said coldly.

The moonlight hung high like a scimitar, and the silver light fell on the ground, and the wind whistled around, and he was cold.

"She'll hand it over to you first, and I'll deal with that tomorrow, remember to keep a living."

Yan looked at Mama Zhou and said coldly, it is rare for Xiao Yongde to sleep in her room today, he has the habit of getting up in the middle of the night, and if he finds that she is not there, he will definitely be suspicious.

"Yes, the old slave is retired."

Mama Zhou answered and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Mama Zhou leaving, Yan turned around and closed the door again, with a creak, and even the candle flame inside was extinguished, as if nothing had happened.

Inside the Yoshijo

The white silk was fluttering, the wind was gusting, and the officers and soldiers guarding the corpse couldn't help but shiver.

This wind is still very small, why did it suddenly become bigger?

The wind slammed against the door and made a clattering sound, like a rage, and the cold entered the body.

In the dark night, a pair of eagle-eyed officers and soldiers on the hanging beam were observing the officers and soldiers below, and he was dressed in black and blended with the night.

As Xiao Changge said, there are a few more guards in this silent and unmanned Yizhuang on weekdays, and it seems that Yi Zheng is really careful in doing things.

There were three people in the village, two standing outside the coffin and one sitting on the ground beating his legs, as if waiting for something.

"Brother, come and drink some wine first, what's there to worry about guarding a dead man?"

Wei wanted to act, but when he heard someone shouting outside, he retracted and hid on the hanging beam.

"It's been a very changeable day, and it was so cold all of a sudden."

An officer and soldier in official clothes walked in from outside with a few bowls in his hands and a jug of wine, and when he saw that his face was a little pale from the cold, he knew how cold it was outside.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain, look at the clouds and the oppression."

Another person followed the words of the officer and soldier, and he looked at the way of heaven.

"Isn't it all black at night?"

Some officers and soldiers joked, saying that they didn't pay much attention to it.

"I really don't know what the use of guarding this corpse in the middle of the night, it's really unlucky, Ming'er will go back and wash it with mugwort leaves."

"Shh, the above can speak, the saint has to interrogate this matter personally, and it is better to be careful in everything."

One person looked left and right, his eyes fell on the coffin, and whispered to the people around him.

If before, if this person died, they would not have personally guarded the corpse, but this time the emperor personally interrogated, if the corpse is gone, how will they explain to the emperor, when the emperor is angry, they will not be enough to pay for nine lives!

"Who would be interested in this corpse? Come, drink wine and warm up. ”

One officer poured wine and handed the glass to the other, and the officer and soldier borrowed it and drank it.

Drinking and talking here, I didn't even know that I was drunk and talking nonsense, and I mentioned and mentioned the trivial things that happened before, and stayed until night, and the sound of drowsiness was like thunder.

The aroma of wine permeated the entire Yizhuang, and the four of them fell asleep leaning together.

The person on the hanging beam fell gently from the hanging beam like a black cat, without a trace or even the slightest sound, and the sharp eyes glanced at the sleeping officers and soldiers, and when he saw that there was no response, he fell his gaze on the coffin of ancient lacquer.

He tinkered, pushed the lid of the coffin open, and looked at the person lying in the coffin, his face was pale, and there were traces of daggers on his face, and there were several dredging on his arms, and his clothes were tattered, but there were traces of being cut by daggers.

Although he is thin and weak, he is a man, and when he sees the wounded guard on the little beggar's body, he understands that this is a man's injury, and the scar is quite deep, not like the strength that a woman should have, but like a man.

Wei lifted the little beggar's clothes, this body was dirty because it had not been washed for many years, and there was a body of dredging, looking at the depth of the bruises, some of them should have been left a long time ago, and some of them were new wounds that had just been added.

Wei flipped through the left and right, refusing to let go of even a little detail, Xiao Changge should have her purpose in asking him to come and see the corpse, but what did she want him to come and see?

There were a total of five knives on the beggar's body, one knife fell on the face, three knives on the abdomen, the knife marks on the abdomen were very deep, obviously the other party had murderous intentions, and wanted to kill the little beggar from the beginning, and one knife fell on the arm, but the most important knife fell on the neck.

This is......

Wei squinted, staring at the scar on the beggar's neck, which was very different from the scars on the other daggers, even different in depth, and most importantly......

Wei seemed to know what Xiao Changge wanted him to come and see.

Wei Wan'er, I'm afraid that even he didn't notice the smile on the corner of his mouth.

If this woman is a man, she will definitely be able to help his master, but unfortunately, she was born of the wrong gender in this life.

In the past, he underestimated those women who were powerless and only knew how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now he treats Xiao Changge differently, she is like another Chu Yu.

He will be by Chu Yu's side with all his heart, in addition to him saving his life, more importantly, he was convinced by him, and now he is completely convinced by Xiao Changge, she will not lose to any man.

He wasn't the kind of gossip person, but at this moment he remembered what the Qingdao man said at the banquet: Prince Ke, the daughter of the Xiao family.

The four people lying down suddenly moved, and Wei put aside his hand to close the coffin and left quietly, as if he had never come.

In prison, Xiao Changge turned over and suddenly woke up, looking out the window with clear eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.

After all, the bed and straw mat in this room are not as soft as the soft bed in her room, and she will be woken up in the middle of the night when she sleeps.

I don't know what happened to Zhu Er and Wei, if she guessed correctly, she should have gained, but she faintly felt that something was going on in her heart, and she just hoped that both sides would be safe.

In this prison, except for Chu Mo and Zhu Er, no one else has ever come, which can't help but make her feel a little disappointed, at least she hopes that Xiao Yongde can come and believe in her as before, but this time her father chose to be silent.

That's right, even he believes in his heart that she is a person who will abuse her identity, and even instigate people to kill people, even his own father sees her like this.

Xiao Changge sneered, even she was confused, what was she hoping for?

When it is decided, it is decided, if he really stands on Chu Yan's side in the future, at that time, he will also be an enemy.

Even though she admires her father, she must be ruthless when necessary!

Yu Guang glanced at the officers and soldiers outside the prison, no one guarded her in the past, why did there suddenly be six more people guarding her today? And seeing that they don't dare to relax, I'm afraid that something is wrong.

Since ancient times, heavy guards are for felons, even if she really kills the little beggar, it is not a felon, why do so many people need to guard her?

This made Xiao Changge interested, but no matter how she asked, the people outside didn't answer like a dumb person.

Xiao Changge stretched his waist, and the six pairs of eyes outside the door looked at her one after another, making Xiao Changge lose his sleepiness.

What did she do? Why did these people guard her so much?

Xiao Changge didn't know that Emperor Chu personally interrogated this matter, let alone that everyone outside knew about it.
