Li Guifei stroked the fan with one hand, and said gently and calmly: "In this way, the palace sent someone to find out the identity of the guard Wu An first, and it took some time for the prince of Wenguo to have an accident, but he only came out to testify recently, so there must be some complicated causal relationship between them." ”

Lu Xiyi exclaimed: "Guifei Niangniang, do you think so too? ”

Lu Xiyi had to admire Li Guifei, who would have thought that Li Guifei, who has always been disdainful of the world and disdains to compete for favor, is actually a delicate person?

"This palace has long had doubts about this matter, besides, where do you have half of your admiration for that prince of Wenguo? Whether what Wu An said is true or false is not known for the time being, but now there is no proof of death, and what Wu An said has become a suspense. ”

"Yes, Guifei Niangniang, the folk girl also thinks that this matter is quite strange, this person died as soon as he finished his testimony, isn't it that the person behind him can't bear it anymore, so he did it first?"

Li Guifei bowed slightly, frowned slightly, and her beautiful and elegant face seemed to be covered with a light veil.

"Don't be in a hurry about this matter first, Master Du's side of the palace will find a way to find something for him, he won't concentrate his firepower on you, and this will also be regarded as the palace to give back to you."

"Thank you, concubine!"

Lu Xiyi got up and sent Concubine Li Guifei to the outside of the courtyard, this courtyard guarded many palace people outside, just watching her and not letting her go out, this is good, the cause of the death of the prince of Wenguo has not been investigated, she will not be able to return to Xiaoyao Wine, and the prince's matter is likely to be linked to the war between the two countries, if this matter is not investigated as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles.

was sitting on the chair in a daze, he saw Zhong Yihan jumping down from the roof tiles, every time he came to the courtyard, he sneaked in with light skills, and the palace people guarding the door haven't noticed it yet.

Lu Xiyi took him to the house, closed the door, and said nervously: "I said that you are too bold, if the emperor knows about it, but the crime of killing your head, you are jumping around on the roof tiles every day, and you are not afraid of being pierced through the heart as an assassin." ”

Zhong Yihan knew that Lu Xiyi was starting to get nervous, looked her up and down, and said teasingly: "What are you afraid of?" It's a big deal to be arrested by those people, compared to your innocence, what is the danger to my personal life? ”

"Since I was a child, this sentence has been the most touching I have ever heard."

Lu Xiyi couldn't help but be in a daze again, Zhong Yihan patted her arm and said, "What are you thinking?" What did the concubine say? Are you ready for this wine? ”

"Of course wine is good wine, but I've been nailed to the chopping block, and if I don't find out the real murderer of the prince of Wenguo, I'll be used as a scapegoat."

Zhong Yihan's eyes became dark, and he hesitated to speak: "Why don't I take you out of here, lest they really arrest you." Lu Xiyi said nervously: "No, if I just leave, won't it prove that I am even more guilty?" If you really want to help me, stay away from me, lest one day I am really caught, and I will suffer from you. ”

Zhong Yihan couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: With me, how can I let you suffer from flesh and skin?

Lu Xiyi smiled slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Why do you say my life is so bad?" I finally won the favor of the concubine, and fate pushed me into a place of no return, did the prince of Wenguo really drink my wine and died of poisoning? What Wu An said was too strange, but now he couldn't even find a witness. ”

"I also feel a little strange, when I want to arrest Wu An to interrogate him in person, he is already dead, according to the investigation, it seems that he has taken the poison pill before going to the main hall, and the effect of the medicine will slowly attack after three hours, indicating that Wu An is going to see the emperor when the poison is already in the body."

"It seems that this man is really determined to drag me into the water, it's so hateful."

Lu Xiyi took a deep breath to calm his impatient heart.

"If you really can't find other witnesses, you can only go with me, the concubine Niangniang should say good things for you in front of the emperor, and then you can go incognito and open a wine shop again."

And when Zhong Yihan said these heartfelt words, he was met with her ruthless eyes.

Lu Xiyi said with pity: "My Xiaoyao Wine Shop, I spent my whole life to open it, and a human life for no reason wants to be thrown on me, no way!" ”

Lu Xiyi walked to the gate of the courtyard, and asked someone to call Gonggong Kun, who rushed to the other courtyard and gave the subordinates on the side a look, and they retreated.

"Shopkeeper Lu, do you have any grievances to sue?"

"I want to see the emperor."

"This ...... The emperor has ordered, you don't go anywhere in this courtyard, this is also for your safety, think about it, if you go out and let Lord Du know, you have to go to the court to make trouble. ”

"But you can't always put me under house arrest here, the case can't be implemented, and I have a life on my back, and it's not fair to me, please be open and gracious, let me see the emperor, the concubine Niangniang promised me a request, I want to convey this request to the emperor."

Gonggong Kun was very hesitant, so he had to make an exception and take her to the imperial study.

It was late at night, Lu Xiyi dressed up as a palace maid, came to the vicinity of the study with a lantern, walked in with his head down, and put black ink on it.

Li Guifei was also waiting by the emperor's side at this time, and it was Li Guifei who proposed to let Lu Xiyi pretend to be a palace maid.

"Why aren't you leaving?" The emperor raised his eyes and became suspicious, Lu Xiyi immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, forgive the slaves and maids for their courage, and they came to see him before they were summoned by the emperor, which is really unjust. ”

Hearing this, the emperor understood, put the fold aside and said, "It turned out to be you, why did I hesitate and refuse to retreat." He looked at Li Guifei, who was already clear on the side, and said, "It seems that the two of you are colluding, aren't you?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives you, and the concubine also feels that this matter is quite suspicious, so I brought Shopkeeper Lu to see Your Majesty, and I can't lock Shopkeeper Lu in that small courtyard and don't let her go out to meet people."

The emperor touched the beard on his chin, looked at Lu Xiyi and said, "Get up, what do you have to say?" ”

Lu Xiyi got up and brushed the dust on the hem of his skirt and said: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter really didn't kill anyone, and she didn't like the prince of Wenguo, the number of times I met him, I could count it with my fingers, and I didn't feel anything for him at all." ”

"Do you know the guard Wu'an?"

"Wu An, I haven't seen it many times, I haven't even seen the face of the prince a few times, how can I have an impression of the guards around him, but don't you think it's strange, Your Majesty? The squire knew me very well, and knew when I liked to make wine. ”
