Early the next morning, Xiao Zhihan took Yan Rou to the palace.

In the Taiqian Palace, the civil and military officials were all surprised when they saw Xiao Zhihan dragging a woman who was tied up by five flowers and walked in. Only Xiao Chenyu, who was standing at the front, changed his face in an instant after seeing the woman's face clearly.

Yan Rou, a fool, swore yesterday that she would never miss, but today she asked Xiao Zhihan to send her to her father. If this slut dares to bite him out, he will definitely let this slut die a good death.

"King Ming, what are you doing here? How's the case I asked you to investigate? I heard that in the past few days, General Lin of the city defense battalion and the right general of the janissary battalion were almost killed, how are you going to explain to me? Xiao Deyong frowned and looked at Xiao Zhihan, and was ready to ask for guilt as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This is the explanation that this king gave to the emperor." Xiao Zhihan used a force in his hand and pushed Yan Rou forward. Yan Rou didn't stand firm at her feet, and fell straight into the hall.

"What does that mean?" Xiao Deyong asked.

"This woman is the murderer of these murders." Xiao Zhihan said.

"King Ming, you say this woman is the murderer? Tell me how she killed those adults without even noticing? Xiao Deyong asked with a look of disbelief.

This disaster star is simply getting more and more unpleasant. Let him investigate the case, he dared to find a random woman to fool him. Could it be that this scourge really thinks that he is old and confused and doesn't know anything? It's ridiculous!

"Your Majesty, this woman used the highly poisonous Five Watches Yama to kill people." Xiao Zhihan took out a porcelain vase from his arms, looked at Xiao Deyong and said.

Yang Gonggong, who was waiting beside Xiao Deyong, saw Xiao Deyong's face, and immediately walked down and took the porcelain vase. Xiao Deyong held the porcelain vase, looked at the liquid in the porcelain vase, and frowned even more. "This is the poison you found out before making a big fuss about Jing Zhaoyin?"

"Exactly." Xiao Zhihan replied, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can find someone to test the medicine and see if the symptoms of the people who fell for this poison are the same as the deaths of the previous adults." ”

"Never!"

"Your Majesty, human life is at stake, you must not let anyone test the medicine!"

……

Hearing Xiao Zhihan's words, the ministers in the Taiqian Hall immediately discussed, and their eyes looking at Xiao Zhihan were also full of fear.

They had heard of the deaths of the adults before, and they all died of pain and torture. If someone is found to test the drug, if there is no antidote, it will not cause another tragedy!

Xiao Deyong looked at the porcelain vase in his hand with interest, and turned a deaf ear to the exhortations of the ministers. looked at Gonggong Yang, who was waiting beside him, and said with a smile, "Try the medicine!" ”

Yang Gonggong received the order and walked out through the side door. After a while, a young waiter followed behind Yang Gonggong and walked into the Taiqian Hall with a panicked face.

"Slaves see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." The little chamberlain knelt on the main hall and kowtowed to Xiao Deyong.

"Get up!" Xiao Deyong said in a deep voice.

Seeing Xiao Deyong's color, Yang Gonggong took the porcelain vase and walked down the golden hall. walked up to the little chamberlain, reached out and pinched the little chamberlain's face, and forcefully poured the medicine in the porcelain vase into it. After filling most of the bottle, Gonggong Yang was worried that he had used the medicine wrongly, so he poured the remaining half bottle on the little waiter's body.

The little chamberlain didn't know what was going on, and in front of the emperor and so many ministers, he didn't dare to say a word, and let Gonggong Yang try the medicine on him.

After Gonggong Yang stopped, the little chamberlain didn't need to ask anything, he vaguely guessed something.

It was as if many insects were biting inside his body, making his face instantly ugly. The breathing is getting faster and faster, and the heart is beating faster and faster, as if it is about to jump out of the chest.

Suddenly, the little waiter's face turned pale, and the little waiter stretched out his hands and scratched his chest tightly, as if something was hurting him.

As time passed, the little waiter's exposed skin erupted one after another, like worms wriggling under the skin. His eyes were bloodshot from the pain, and the whole thing protruded from his sockets, and he looked terrible.

But this kind of torture is like this, but the little chamberlain always breathes a sigh of relief. Even if the clothes at the mouth of his heart were scratched by him, and the skin at the mouth of his heart was scratched out by him with blood-red cuts one after another, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't Jing Zhaoyin say that those officials before were tortured to death? How is this man still alive? Xiao Deyong looked at Xiao Zhihan and asked dissatisfiedly.

Hearing Xiao Deyong's words, the courtiers in the Taiqian Palace looked at each other, and there was a faint dissatisfaction with the emperor's cruelty and inhumanity hidden in the depths of their eyes.

Xiao Zhi glanced at these courtiers coldly, then looked up at Xiao Deyong on the dragon chair, and said, "This medicine is called the Five Watch Yama, and naturally it will be tortured until the fifth watch is killed." ”

Hearing Xiao Zhihan's words, the ministers couldn't help but gasp. It's only dawn now, not long after the fifth watch. If these five watches of Yama are really as Xiao Zhihan said, wouldn't this little chamberlain have to endure the torture of a full day and a night. In this case, it is better to kill him directly.

"Third brother, even if your medicine is really the so-called Five Watch Yama, all the adults before you have died under this poison, how can you prove that this medicine was given by this woman?" Xiao Chenyu, who had been silent, looked at Xiao Zhihan and said provocatively.

"This person was caught in Wu Wei's General's Mansion, and he knows best. If the prince wants to know the details, ask him. Xiao Zhihan glanced at Xiao Chenyu, and his eyes were full of sarcastic smiles.

"You ......" Xiao Chenyu was stimulated by the smile in Xiao Zhihan's eyes, and said angrily.

"Enough, above the main hall, what kind of system!" Xiao Deyong spoke up to stop Xiao Chenyu's unspoken words, looked at Yan Rou lying on the main hall, waved his hand, and said, "Drag this woman out and behead her at noon." ”

As soon as Xiao Deyong's words fell, several Praetorian Guards walked in, dragging Yan Rou and about to go out.

"I'm a phoenix girl, you can't kill me!" Yan Rou, who had been silent since she entered the Taiqian Palace, suddenly said out loud.

"What did you say?" Hearing Yan Rou's words, Xiao Deyong's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"I'm Yan Rou of the Medicine King Valley, the Destiny Phoenix Maiden, you can't kill me!" Yan Rou broke free of the shackles of the Praetorian Guards, looked up at Xiao Deyong, and cried and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Rou in the bedroom, it's the fiancée you pointed out to the prince, how can you kill me!" ”

Xiao Deyong squinted his eyes, looked at Yan Rou for a long time, showed a smile on his face, and said, "Even a woman like you, dare to say that it is a phoenix girl, it's a joke." Drag it out! ”

"Yes." Several Praetorian Guards took the order, stepped forward and grabbed Yan Rou's shoulders, and dragged her out of the Taiqian Palace.

Xiao Deyong quietly glanced at Gonggong Yang next to him and glanced at him.

Gonggong Yang nodded and walked towards the outside of the hall through the side door.

Outside the main hall, several guards dragged Yan Rou towards the noon gate. As soon as he walked less than 100 meters, a slightly feminine voice came from behind him.

"A few little brothers, please stay."

The janissary who was dragging Yan Rou stopped, turned around and looked back, only to see Yang Gongcheng, a close attendant beside the emperor, panting and walking towards this side.

"Father-in-law Yang?" One of the guards shouted in surprise.

"You guys, what are you doing so fast, it's really exhausting to our family." Yang Gonggong gasped and complained dissatisfiedly. After he took a breath and eased up, he continued, "This person doesn't need to be pulled to the noon gate, just hand her over to our family first." The emperor still has some things to interrogate her, and he will deal with it after asking. ”

Several guards glanced at each other, nodded, and said to Gonggong Yang, "The brothers know, I am tired of my father-in-law for this trip." ”

After finishing speaking, several people handed Yan Rou to Yang Gonggong and turned to leave.

Gonggong Yang looked at Yan Rou, whose face was like ashes, stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pinch her face full of scars, and couldn't help but be speechless, "This mold is not bad, but it's a pity that this face is full of scars." ”

"What are you going to do?" A touch of disgust flashed in Yan Rou's eyes, and she scolded this Yang Gonggong in a cold voice.

"What to do? You'll find out later. Gonggong Yang smiled softly, took the rope that tied Yan Rou, and walked in the direction of the harem.

"What are you to dare to do this to me. I'm the daughter of the phoenix, why don't you let me go! Yan Rou struggled and shouted loudly.

Gonggong Yang frowned, took out a handkerchief, and blocked Yan Rou's mouth.

If she continues to shout like this, she may disturb many people!

"Miss Yan, I'm offended." Seeing that Yan Rou's face was flushed with anger, Yang Gonggong said with a smile.

After walking for about half an hour, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Yan Rou would never have imagined that there was such a remote place in the splendid palace.

After walking for hundreds of meters, Yang Gonggong and Yan Rou stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard. Yan Rou looked up and saw that there was an old plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard, and the plaque was engraved with the words "Jin'an Courtyard".

Yang Gonggong knocked on the courtyard door, the courtyard door was opened with a creak, and an old woman with gray hair poked her head out with a cautious face. After seeing Father-in-law Yang, the caution in the eyes of the old woman gradually dissipated, took a step back, and let Father-in-law Yang and Yan Rou into the courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, a touch of surprise rose in Yan Rou's heart.

From the outside, this courtyard clearly looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. But once I entered the hospital, it was not like that at all. The flowers and plants in the yard have been carefully built, and although the houses are old, they are clean. The courtyard was full of flowers and trees, and only in the direction of the door was there a room.

Walking into the house, Yan Rou was even more surprised.

There is a world of excellence in this room, whether it is the table, chairs or other furnishings, they are all extremely exquisite and luxurious. Seeing that she was brought to such a place, the fear in Yan Rou's heart gradually weakened.

The people who used to live here are only afraid of the people who are spoiled by a noble person on the tip of their hearts, otherwise where is there a need to take such painstaking steps to arrange this place like this.

Since this Yang Gonggong brought her here, no matter what, she is also a little away from the Ghost Gate. She remembered that when she was in the Taiqian Hall just now, this Yang Gonggong was standing by the emperor's side. In this way, it was the emperor who wanted to spare her life.

When she was in the Medicine King Valley before, she had heard her mother say that the emperor of the dynasty believed in the Mandate of Heaven the most. It is estimated that the emperor knew her identity as a phoenix girl, so he was extra kind to keep her alive.

In that case, she waited here with peace of mind.

"Mama Xu, this one inside, you are so waiting." Father-in-law Yang's voice came from outside the house, and he didn't hear any answer, so Father-in-law Yang turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
