Liu Qi and Ming Xiu went to the small bedroom in Vanilla before Chu Yunfeng under the leadership of Mei Xiang, and there was calm in the bedroom at the moment, Chu Yunfeng had been living under the care of Chun Tao before, Chun Tao was a dutiful person, because of Chu Nian's orders, he had always taken care of Chu Yunfeng's life in an orderly manner.

Seeing this scene, Mei Xiang seemed to remember what Zhu's mother said, Chu Nian was imprisoned because Chun Tao reported the news to the old lady, and her impression of Chun Tao was extremely bad at this time, and she muttered in a low voice when she entered the house: "It's really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, the lady is so good to her, she is still ......."

Liu Qi looked sideways at Mei Xiang, "What did you say?" ”

"General Liu, the slave is talking about the so-called witness, she is framed! A lady wouldn't do such a thing! ”

"She wouldn't do such a thing? She's released it all! Everybody heard! At this time, the angry voice of the old lady came from behind her, Mei Xiang stopped, Liu Qi looked back, the old lady was standing at the door, supported by his mother, holding a cane under his hand but he couldn't stand steadily, and every fold on his face trembled.

Liu Qi turned his head, his eyes fell on the medicine bowl placed at the head of the bed, and his brows furrowed, "Old lady, don't make a conclusion before the matter is settled." ”

Thinking of Liu Qi's identity, the old lady didn't say much, but still snorted coldly.

At this time, Ming Xiu, who had been silent, jumped to the table at the head of the bed, saw the remaining decoction in the bowl, and put it in his mouth.

This move frightened Liu Qi, Liu Qi hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ming Xiu's movements, the strange thing was that the two of them had such a large range of movements, and the medicine base in the soup bowl was not spilled at all.

"Your Highness, this is the scene of the crime, and you can't mess around."

Liu Qi looked at Ming Xiu seriously, but as if he remembered something, he picked up the medicine bowl and put it to his mouth and smelled it, and after a while, he frowned, "Mei Xiang, are you sure that no one has ever entered this room." ”

Mei Xiang nodded inexplicably, and saw Liu Qi holding the medicine bowl and wanted to go out, Ming Xiu followed, even Mei Xiang followed, and the old lady looked at the backs of several people with a puzzled face, and at the end, he snorted coldly, "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Chu Nian poured into them!" One by one, they are all so saddled before and after! ”

……

"How?"

In the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Qi silently looked at the coroner who was making trouble in front of him with an empty bowl, and after a while, the coroner raised his head and said: "This poison is very rare, and it has been banned in Kyoto for many years, so there should be no one." ”

Liu Qi frowned, his eyes were even more suspicious, and at this time, Ming Xiu on the side played with the porcelain vase in his hand and said, "Liangcaoxuan, haha, this name is so funny, is it an imitation of the Ancient Grass Garden?" ”

was a little annoyed by his quarrel, Liu Qi complained that the queen mother actually released this foolish prince, and looked at the porcelain vase in his hand curiously, his eyes were slightly condensed, at this time, Mei Xiang on the side said curiously: "Your Highness, where did you get the porcelain vase?" ”

Ming Xiu pursed his lips and took the porcelain vase into his arms, "Lone just found it in that room, it's on the ground next to the bed, I don't know if there is anything else, if you like it, go back and find it yourself, this is Lone found it first!" ”

"Your Highness, can you show Weichen your porcelain vase?" Liu Qi stepped forward and spoke at the right time, Ming Xiu looked at him with a flat mouth, and after a while, he reluctantly took out the hand hidden in his arms again, and there was a delicate porcelain bottle lying in the palm of his hand, the mouth of the porcelain bottle was still open, the stopper was gone, and a strange smell was coming from the mouth of the bottle.

Liu Qi stretched out his hand and took the porcelain bottle from Ming Xiu's hand, put it in his hand and played with it for a while, his nose leaned on the mouth of the bottle and sniffed, after a while, he was stunned, and picked up the soup bowl on the side and smelled it, frowning and looking at the porcelain bottle, this porcelain bottle seems to be specially customized, and the porcelain bottle also has three big characters written on it "Liangcaoxuan", which seems to be the special sign of this medicine shop, but it carelessly even uses this bottle for poison.

Mei Xiang on the side saw Liu Qi's strange face and wondered, "General Liu, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Qi frowned, "Have you heard of Liangcaoxuan?" ”

Interjecting was the coroner who had been watching the play on the side, "General, if you talk about Liangcaoxuan, the little one seems to have heard of it, and legend has it that this Liangcaoxuan is opened outside the city, and the medicine that cures and saves people is not sold, but only sells poisons, and only sells them to the powerful." ”

"Where's out of the city?"

"It's on the ancient road on the outskirts of the city, hidden in the mountains and forests, if the general wants to go, he only needs to follow the path of the mountains and forests to see it."

A faint light flashed in Ming Xiu's eyes, but in an instant, he regained his dazedness, "Liu Qi, are we going to climb the mountain?" ”

Seeing that Ming Xiu was still going to follow, Liu Qi was obviously a little impatient, "There is danger outside the city, Your Highness just needs to stay in the city and wait for news from Wei Chen." ”

Seeing this, Ming Xiu still wanted to be unrelenting, but Liu Qi waved his sleeves at the guard beside him to block Ming Xiu's next words, "Come on, send His Highness back to the palace." ”

"Yes."

Ming Xiu skillfully dodged the clamp of several guards, his eyes skimmed to Mei Xiang, and between the two eyes, Mei Xiang nodded secretly.

After Ming Xiu was sent away, Liu Qicai breathed a sigh of relief, and he was really tired of looking at this foolish prince while investigating the case, at this time, Mei Xiangcai stared at Liu Qi innocently with a pair of big eyes and said: "General Liu, you are going to the outskirts of the city, can the slave and maid accompany you?" ”

Liu Qi frowned, but thought that Mei Xiang was Chu Nian's personal maid, so he nodded and agreed, and the two of them went out of the city, Liu Qi retreated from the guards on this trip, although Mei Xiang said that the murderer should be Chun Tao, but Liu Qi felt that there must be a master behind him, and now he finally found a trace of eyebrows, and it is natural to check with great fanfare, it is better to visit him and Mei Xiang, this trip must be rewarding.

This green hill on the outskirts of the city is close to the mountain village, before the grandmother was driven out of the capital is to live in this mountain village, this mountain village has a strange smoke all the year round, people who stay here for a long time will become insane, but also because of this, the top is not even bothered to send someone to check, so this mountain village has fallen into a "can enter but not out" situation.

Liu Qi was afraid of trouble, so he took Mei Xiang around the mountain village and went up to the mountain behind the mountain village, sure enough, there was a hidden forest secret road on this mountain, if it wasn't for Mei Xiang's carefulness, I'm afraid the two of them really couldn't find it. The two of them went down the path together, and there were no more words, there seemed to be some kind of ghost in the mountains, and bursts of whispers came from a long distance, Mei Xiang's face turned pale with fright, but she still held on to the mountain.

Seeing her like this, Liu Qi felt funny and had the intention to tease, "What are you doing with you when you're so afraid?" ”

Mei Xiang looked at her and said solemnly: "For the sake of my mother, the slave can do anything, not to mention, with General Liu here, even if there is really a ghost, I don't dare to lean over." ”

Regarding Mei Xiang's sycophancy, Liu Qi nodded very appreciatively and said, "This is true, but why are you so convinced that your lady will not kill Chu Xiaolangjun?" I heard that Xiao Chen's family abused your lady a lot, and Chu Xiaolangjun almost killed your lady's life. ”

Mei Xiang raised her eyebrows disdainfully and said: "As far as their little tricks, my lady doesn't pay attention to them, besides, it was the lady who was kind-hearted before, and she never cared about their small actions, they repaid virtue with grievances, why should the lady continue to tolerate it?" As for why my lady didn't kill Chu Xiaolangjun, it was because my lady was different from them, Xiao Langjun was taught badly by Xiao Chen, and the lady also specially found a husband to teach Xiao Langjun how to behave, how could she kill Xiao Langjun? ”

"What if it's because she wants Genro to inherit the title?"

"Hmph, my lady has thousands of ways to make Chu Xiaolangjun unable to inherit the title, why do you use such a troublesome method to harm people's lives? Not to mention dirty his hands, now he is even more murdered and imprisoned. ”

Liu Qi was silent and didn't reply, so he saw Mei Xiang and continued: "It's just that Miss is too kind-hearted and raised a white-eyed wolf who eats inside and out, and now she is telling her to seize the opportunity to harm Miss." ”

After finishing speaking, Mei Xiang lowered her head in annoyance, and blamed her, she had already seen that Chun Tao was wrong, and she should have told the lady to guard against it, or send Chun Tao away earlier, so as not to let her have a chance, now it's too late to say anything, I just hope to help the lady clear her guilt and leave the dark and damp prison as soon as possible, and I don't know if the lady's delicate body can still stand it in such a place.

At the same time, in the dungeon, a mouse disappeared from Chu Nian's body, and she squinted her eyes slightly to look at a black reptile in the straw pile not far away, silent.

Before the Su family was destroyed, someone reported that the Su family rebelled, and she and her father and brother were locked up here to listen to interrogation, when she was still young, and had not experienced such a bleak scene, she still had fear in her heart, how did her father comfort her at that time?

"A person who is upright has no need to live and die."

At that time, her father looked at her eyes, and there was a faint light in his eyes, it was his father who gave her the confidence to continue to live, and it was also her father who blocked a knife for her on the execution ground, which gave her a chance to escape to the cliff.

At that time, my father's chest was bleeding bright red, and she was wearing a gray prison uniform, and the blood stained her body.

"Nian'er...... Let's go......"

Chu Nian leaned against the wall, narrowing his eyes slightly, sleepy but did not dare to close his eyes, for fear that his eyes would be dark and he would fall into the nightmare of losing his loved ones again.

She didn't want to lose anymore, and there was nothing more to lose.

At this time, there was a sneaky sound outside the cell, Chu Nian just wanted to get up, but suddenly there was a figure in front of him, Chu Nian frowned, and saw Dark Three smile mischievously, Shen Ruan's body was thrown to the ground, and at this moment she was closing her eyes tightly, as if she was asleep.

"Sanniang, shall we stay and watch the play, or do we leave now?"

"Watching a play?" Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and smiled playfully, "If there is a good show to watch, why do you want to leave." ”

Seeing that his wife hit it off with him, Dark San immediately grinned at the corners of his mouth, grabbed Chu Nian's waist and jumped onto the beam, and after waiting for less than a cup of tea, he heard a conversation outside the door, as if it was a jailer in the dungeon, with someone else.

"Go ahead, come out quickly, don't let anyone find out."

"Hey, don't worry, you can also come and have fun with you later, that's the legendary Peerless County Lord."

"Come on, don't get me in trouble."

The jailer nodded in satisfaction with the heavy silver bag in his hand.
