He Xi felt that every clue faintly pointed to the sin slave house, it seemed that he had to go to the sin slave house anyway, thinking of this, He Xi curtsied and said: "Since the concubine is under the will of His Majesty, to assist His Royal Highness King Xian in investigating this matter, she will definitely go all out, if the people who are guarding say any clues, please also ask His Royal Highness King Xian to send someone to inform the concubine, the concubine still has important things to do today, so she will retire first." With that, he hurried away.

Tuoba Yue looked at He Xi's back, his eyes became deeper and deeper, he raised his head and looked at the outside through the window lattice, his heart was a little complicated, everyone said that the most unsightly thing in the world is the sunshine, and the second is the human heart, He Xi, if it is you, how should you choose?

What would you do if you knew the truth? He Xi, I'm waiting to see your answer.

He Xi walked out not far away, and the eunuch in charge of the interrogation ran in and whispered something in Tuoba Yue's ear, Tuoba Yue playfully raised the corners of his mouth, got up lazily and said, "Since this is the case, then let's go and see." ”

Here, He Xi walked out of Chuxiu Palace, and walked all the way in the direction of the sin slave house, Ruyi followed behind with fast steps, and asked breathlessly: "Little master, where are you going?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”

"Sin Slavery." He Xi was concise and to the point.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, He Xi's footsteps gradually slowed down, and Ruyi also gasped, and at this time, he heard a sharp voice behind He Xi and remembered: "Yo, isn't this Xi Chang here?" Where are you going in such a hurry? ”

He Xi paused, a hint of impatience flashed at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and he raised his eyes to look in the direction of the sin slave, who was in the most remote abandoned palace in the palace, and there was at least an hour away.

"Didn't my sister hear me?" The man behind him saw that He Xi was motionless in place like a stake, and his heart was annoyed, and his words became more and more mean.

Ruyi gently pulled He Xi's sleeve, and He Xi turned around with a smile on his face, and bowed softly: "The concubine sees Sister Zhao Concubine." ”

I haven't heard the person above speak for a long time, He Xi looked up in confusion, and saw Zhao Ruxue's pink and flowery palace dress, and the hairpin was also a pearl flower of pink pearls, in short, how delicate you want to be.

But if this dress is worn on Xu Qing'er's body, it must be delicate and cute, only Zhao Ruxue has a pair of Danfeng eyes, so it seems that there is some disobedience, and it is quite a bit of Dongshi's imitation.

Ruyi obviously saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly pursed her mouth and lowered her head, not daring to let Zhao Ruxue see the expression on her face.

"My sister hasn't answered my question yet, where are you going in such a hurry?" Zhao Ruxue's eyes stared straight at He Xi's face, especially the little cinnabar in the center of her eyebrows, and the resentful look crept into her eyes little by little.

"Back to Sister Zhao's words, the concubine is going to the Heart Cultivation Palace to report on the progress of His Majesty's case today." He Xi lowered his hand again, and there was an uneven cobblestone road under his knees, and after so long, Zhao Ruxue didn't scream, obviously thinking of taking this opportunity to attack herself.

As soon as he heard He Xi mention the emperor, the hatred in Zhao Ruxue's eyes became more and more intense, as if he was going to eat He Xi who was kneeling in front of him.

"My sister is really lucky, Your Majesty not only stayed in the Hehuan Hall yesterday, but also asked my sister to assist King Xian in investigating the case, do you say that you are really lucky, or did you use some shady means?" Zhao Ruxue half-leaned down and pinched He Xi's jaw tightly with her hand, looking at her side face, smooth as water, which could be broken by blowing, and the previous injury had long been invisible.

He Xi was forced to raise his head, and his eyes interlaced with Zhao Ruxue, and he could only see her sour look, and said coldly: "Your Majesty has also pampered my sister for a few days before, does that mean that my sister is also ......?"

"Bold!" After finishing speaking, he was scolded by Zhao Ruxue sharply, only to see Zhao Ruxue's expression flash a trace of undetectable panic, as if he was annoyed and angry: "You dare to frame me, you really deserve death, please give me a palm."

！ ”

"Yes, little lord." A trace of excitement and disdain flashed in Yuexin's eyes, she took two steps forward, raised her arms high, and hit He Xi, He Xi's eyes gradually cooled, it seemed to be a cold winter day, and the lake water was condensed layer by layer.

She was about to move when she saw a light blue figure rushing in front of her.

Smack-

With the crisp sound of the slap, He Xi looked at Ruyi in front of him, only to see Ruyi's face biased, and his face was full of tears.

"Concubine Zhao, our little master doesn't mean that, if Concubine Zhao feels unhappy, then take the slave's mouth." Ruyi's voice was choked, Zhao Ruxue stood aside, and said in a gloomy tone: "Don't worry, today, I won't let go of your two masters and servants who have committed the following crimes, give me a palm." ”

Zhao Ruxue glanced at the palace maid beside her, the palace maid next to her hurriedly walked in front of Ruyi, Yuexin bypassed Ruyi and walked towards He Xi, He Xi looked at Yuexin coldly, Yuexin was stunned, she had never seen such a He Xi, that kind of majesty, she couldn't help but want to kneel on the ground.

"The little master doesn't want to look at the slave and maid with this look, the slave and the maid are just acting on orders." Gritted his teeth and said this. Yuexin raised her hand. He Xi stood up on the ground, and grabbed Yuexin's wrist the moment her arm fell.

Yue Xin was stunned, and then He Xi slapped his backhand hard, and this slap was extremely hard. Yuexin was defenseless, and sat straight to the ground, her arm aching from the hard pebble ground, and she cried: "Little master, the slave and maid are also acting on orders. You ......"

And then he began to weep, like that. It's as if it wasn't her who was going to be violent just now.

"Sister Zhao Concubine, the concubine asked herself if there was nothing wrong with it, and my sister punished the concubine like this, of course the concubine was not convinced." He Xi stood coldly in front of Zhao Ruxue, and her demeanor made Zhao Ruxue take half a step back, and then thought of her current position, and said with a deep breath: "Since my sister is disobedient to discipline, then my sister will help you." ”

After speaking, he wanted to repeat his old tricks, but a clear voice behind him said: "Does Concubine Zhao like to slap people very much?" ”

As soon as this voice came out, everyone's faces changed, and they hurriedly knelt down and asked for peace: "Participate in Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be blessed with Jin'an." ”

Zhao Ruxue watched the dark dragon boots walk in front of her, her face turned pale, Tuoba Chen walked all the way to He Xi's side, helped He Xi up with his own hands and said, "Didn't you rest more in the morning, why are you still so idle?" ”

With the strength of Tuoba Chen, He Xi got up and said softly: "The matter of Chuxiu Palace explained by His Majesty will be solved in one day, where will the concubines rest." ”

After speaking, he stumbled for a moment, Tuoba Chen hurriedly supported him, Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward to support He Xi, and said distressedly: "The little master's knee must be injured, he has been kneeling for so long, and he has a leg ......."

"Ruyi, you dare to talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty......" He Xi scolded lightly.

Ruyi flattened his mouth, but Tuoba Chen listened to it completely, glanced at the pebble ground under his feet, and knew it in his heart, he asked Zhao Ruxue in a deep voice: "Why is Concubine Zhao like this today?" ”

When Zhao Ruxue saw the emperor's behavior, it was clear that she was standing on He Xi's side, although she was unwilling, she still gritted her teeth and said softly: "It's the concubine who misunderstood Sister Xi, and the concubine will definitely not believe what the subordinates say next time." ”

"Oh? Really? Since Concubine Zhao knows that she is wrong, she will kneel here for an hour and reflect on her mistakes, as for these slaves and maids, each of them will have fifty slaps and mouths, and see if anyone dares to chew the root of their tongue in front of their masters in the future. Also, I think this dress is not suitable for Concubine Zhao, so I will change it when I go back. Tuoba Chen said coldly.

Zhao Ruxue's face was pale, as if she wanted to defend herself, but when she saw Tuoba Chen's expression, she had to endure her grievances and thank her.

Tuoba Chen looked at He Xi, only to see He Xi lowering his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking. There is no trace of revenge at all, and there is inevitably a trace of appreciation in my heart.

Ignoring the sobbing voices around him, Tuoba Chen slowed down his voice and said, "Where is the concubine going to go?" He Xi briefly explained the situation of Chuxiu Palace, and then said: "The concubine just wanted to ask His Majesty's will to go to the sin slave house. ”

"Oh? Since it's an investigation, Fuqing. ”

"The minions are here."

Tuoba Chen stretched out his hand and said, "Take out my jade pendant." ”

Fuqing was stunned, but it was only a moment's work, and Fuqing took out a jade pendant with a golden dragon carved in white jade from his arms. He Xi trembled slightly, this jade pendant was still a symbol of his status when he was the fourth prince, she used to love to play with it in her hand, and she knew every inch of the golden dragon's body very clearly.

Now Tuoba Chen actually took it out because......

"I don't have any other tokens on me, but this jade pendant also has the same function, as long as you need to investigate the case, you can go anywhere in this palace, you don't need to tell me." After speaking, he wanted to reach out to caress He Xi's sideburns, but He Xi avoided it by curtsiding.

The subordinates were empty, but Tuoba Chen didn't care, chuckled twice, looked at He Xi's knees, and said softly: "I'll go to the sin slave house in a while, be my sedan chair, this sin slave is remote, don't miss the lunch time when you come back." ”

After finishing speaking, he left with Fuqing, He Xi glanced at Zhao Ruxue who was kneeling on the ground, her deep pool-like eyes were unwavering, not even a hint of a light smile, a little eunuch ran over, and said softly: "Little master, the sedan chair is already waiting, do you want to go now?" ”

He Xi nodded, and then turned around and left the imperial garden without any nostalgia.
