The inside of the prison can be said to be dirty and smelly, the straw on top has been moldy, and the green layer is stinking.

Seeing Lu Li coming, Xiao Man hurriedly ran to the side of the cell and stretched out his hand, and the fingertips of the two slowly touched each other and held each other tightly.

"Lu Li and I haven't done anything, you have to believe me."

Xiao Man didn't say this, of course Lu Li would believe his wife, what was the matter with the person who poisoned King Shen?

"I know, it must not have been done by you, but now the situation is very special, and I can only grieve you to stay here."

Lu Li's heart was twitching faintly when he said this, his expression was the same as usual, but his teeth were clenched so tightly that he rattled.

Thinking of Xiao Man's delicate body, how could he stay in this cell?

"I'm fine, don't have a conflict with the emperor because of me."

Xiao Man was worried that because of his own affairs, Lu Li would not be able to restrain his temper, and if he collided with the current saint, it would be troublesome.

"It's too cold in prison, you take my cloak."

Lu Li specially brought an azure robe this time, with a cloak of mink fur around the collar and cuffs. I'm afraid that Xiaoman will freeze in prison.

Xiao Man took the cloak and draped it on her body, she was born thin, Lu Li's cloak was dragged on the ground with an extra section on her, and her little pink face was almost covered by the hat, which looked very distressing.

The night was dewy and heavy, and the coolness gradually penetrated into the bone marrow, but Xiao Man and Lu Li clung to each other like this, and a warm current came up in their hearts.

Before he could speak for a moment, the soldiers outside had already shouted.

"Lord Lu, princess, the time is almost up, you should come out quickly."

Lu Li was naturally reluctant to go out now, but the guards were only on a mission, and Lu Li didn't want to embarrass them, so he pulled Saria and hurried out.

When he went out, he was still reluctant to hold Xiao Man's hand, and his eyebrows were stunned.

Back in Lu's house, Lu Li was still very anxious, not knowing who the emperor would let try this case.

Sharia persuaded Lu Li, "You should have a good rest now." Otherwise, how can we recuperate? What about saving Xiaoman? ”

Lu Li thought about it, and this was indeed the truth, so he went to bed early and waited for the result of tomorrow's court.

After Lu Li went to court the next day, the emperor couldn't see a trace of joy and anger. His eyes were extremely deep, staring at Lu Li's face, but the corners of his lips were a gentle chuckle.

Lu Li became nervous like this, and he couldn't tell what the emperor meant in his heart? wait

After the ministers played, the emperor really mentioned Su Xiaoman's arrest.

"This is the case of the assassination of King Shen. It's very tricky, and I have to choose someone who can handle it. ”

Lu Li immediately walked out, "The minister is willing to take the order." ”

The emperor shook his head, this matter obviously has something to do with Su Xiaoman, how could he hand over this matter to Lu Li again?

"General Lu's wife is involved, so don't get involved in this matter. Naturally, I will deal with it fairly. ”

The emperor looked around, King Shen is a prince, if he lets someone else deal with this matter, I am afraid that something will be wrong.

So his gaze fell on King Ning, who looked at the emperor for a moment and smiled.

If the emperor really asked him to deal with this matter, he would have the means to blackmail Lu Li, and he would not believe that Lu Li could take Su Xiaoman's life in vain and not cooperate with him.

In the end, King Ning finally got the desired result.

The emperor said slowly: "This matter will be handed over to King Ning, and it must be fair and fair." ”

King Ning stood upright, solemnly and upright, and respectfully bowed to the emperor.

"Brother Chen, I must take care of this matter."

As soon as King Ning finished speaking, he found that Lu Li's gaze fell on him like a knife.

But he was not afraid to work hard, but the corners of his mouth hooked, and a hint of implicit malice appeared.

After leaving the court, Lu Li hurriedly caught up with King Ning.

"His Royal Highness King Ning stays."

"General Lu Li, do you have anything else?"

"This case of King Shen's assassination won't be directed and acted by you?"

Because it was really inappropriate to talk about this matter outside the Jinluan Palace, Lu Li also lowered his voice.

King Ning smiled, not in a hurry to tell Lu Li the answer.

"General Lu, do you want to go to my mansion for a drink?"

Lu Li frowned, thinking that King Ning had always been like this, and he didn't say anything directly. There's no harm in going for a drink with him and seeing what the hell he's up to.

So the two of them came to King Ning's mansion at the same time, King Ning took out a turquoise bottle with a strong wine in it, poured a glass for Lu Li, and poured himself a glass.

"This is the daughter red buried under the plum tree for more than a year, you can taste it."

Lu Li took a sip, and it was really fragrant and refreshing, sweet and mellow, with a long aftertaste. The aroma of plum blossoms melted faintly into the liquid, and the wine was not very strong, just enough to warm the stomach

This wine seems to be King Ning's treasure, and he is willing to take it out for himself, thinking that he really didn't do anything good.

"I don't have so much time to talk nonsense with you, I'm here, just tell me directly, did you do Xiaoman's thing?"

King Ning gently shook the folding fan painted with landscape ink in his hand, not caring about Lu Li's anxious appearance at all.

"Will you believe me when I say it?"

King Ning looked at Lu Li, at this time, Lu Li probably decided in his heart that he had done it, no matter what he said, Lu Li's heart would be suspicious of himself.

As long as you, General Lu, are honest with me, you will naturally hear the truth.

King Ning frowned slightly, and clasped the table with his fingers.

"Okay, I'll believe you once"

"I didn't do it."

Hearing this answer, Lu Li was a little surprised, he originally thought that King Ning must have wanted to use Xiao Man to threaten him to cooperate with him.

But I didn't expect that King Ning's eyes were open and unconcealed now, as if he was not lying at all.

Could it be that Xiao Man's matter was really not done by King Ning?

But the servants of the Lu family are all carefully selected by Xiaoman, and they are trustworthy people. There can't be such a centrifugal betrayer.

"Although this matter has nothing to do with me, but now that the imperial brother has sent me to try this matter, I think I can make a deal with General Lu."

Lu Li frowned, he knew that King Ning was really not so simple, he simply seized every opportunity and wanted to use himself.

"Say, what deal?"

Actually, this matter is best solved, as long as I go to prison and catch a random torture into a trick, it's okay.

At that time, Mrs. Lu can clear her grievances. Naturally, it can be released.

Hearing the words Qu Cheng Cheng, Lu Li was very unhappy in his heart, King Ning was so unscrupulous to achieve his goal, but what was the difference between Lu Li and King Ning by exchanging the lives of others for Xiao Man's life?

Lu Li immediately shook his head.

"If you want to do this, I don't think it's necessary, I believe in Xiaoman, and I also believe in the genealogy of the Lu family, no matter how you try it, there will be no result."

Seeing Lu Li so confident, King Ning sneered.

"General Lu, you are really stubborn, there are not so many truths in the world for you to find."

"I'm not going to work with you anyway."

"Do you believe that Su Xiaoman is one thing, but the result of my interrogation is another thing, if I really report to the imperial brother that Su Xiaoman is the murderer of King Shen, do you think the imperial brother will not deal with her?"

Hearing this, Lu Li stood up angrily, and it took a long time for him to speak, and the voice was clearly extremely cold.

"If you dare to frame Xiaoman like this, I will never let it go in my life."

After speaking, Lu Li hurriedly walked out of your palace and returned to his own Lu mansion.

Seeing his angry look, Sharia knew that nothing good had happened in the court today, so she chased after him and asked.

Lu Li was in no mood to talk to Sharia now, just with a dark face, but Salia was also very worried about Xiaoman's whereabouts, so she could only keep pestering Lu Li.

"Just tell me, what happened to the morning today?"

"Xiaoman's case has been handed over to King Ning to deal with."

"What? Isn't it good for King Ning to deal with that? ”

Salia didn't know why she had always had a special affection for King Ning in her heart. She believed that if King Ning dealt with this matter, she would definitely not embarrass Xiaoman.

"What's the matter, you don't know how cunning King Ning is, he will definitely blackmail me into cooperating with him."

Salia thought about it, the relationship between Lu Li and King Ning was not very good, so it was better to talk to King Ning herself.

So she thought that when Lu Li didn't pay attention, she would sneak out of the house and ask.

"Lu Li, who do you think will be the effort of this matter?"

Lu Li shook his head, unable to answer.

"You see that the people in the house are all carefully selected by Xiaoman, and the ones who are selected naturally cannot be made by them. Xiaoman is even more impossible, could it be that King Shen poisoned himself? ”

Sharia's casual answer gave Lu Li a wake-up call, although it sounds unlikely, but there are no absolute words in the world.

"King Shen poisoned himself?"

Seeing Lu Li pick out his words, Sharia hurriedly shook his hand.

"That's not what I meant, how could King Shen poison himself? Is he idle and has nothing to do? ”

Lu Li remembered that the imperial doctor had said that King Shen's poison was not fatal, but it would only be uncomfortable for a few days, if a person really wanted to cure King Shen to death, why not just put a little strong poison?

Thinking of this, Lu Li seemed to have glimpsed the truth of this matter. He decided to find a time to talk to King Shen.

If this poison is really given to him by King Shen, then the scheming of this 12-year-old little prince is really unmatched in Donglan Kingdom.
