"Princess, princess." Zizhi's shouts became smaller and smaller, and it seemed that she had been taken away by the human flow.

The crowd squeezed Ji Lianmei somewhere, and vaguely, she seemed to see a person lying at her feet, and she didn't care that the crowd was still surging, so she leaned down with difficulty to check the person's situation.

"Hey, are you alright?" Ji Lianmei hurriedly went to help the man, but in his chest, Ji Lianmei felt the hot liquid.

It's blood. Then, in the faint moonlight, she saw the glistening blade stuck in his chest. Ji Lianmei was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

The lights come on at exactly this time. People gathered around.

"Oh my God, it's dead."

"Is it her, is she the one who killed someone?"

"She seems to be the princess of Liu Guo, I knew that Liu Ren was vicious, but I didn't expect this woman to be so bold and kill people under our noses."

Ji Lianmei's eyes were glazed, knowing that the officers and soldiers had come to escort her away, she was relieved.

"No, it's not me." She shouted. The officers and soldiers who rushed up let her shout and escorted her back to the Qingzheng Temple.

Xiao Yige, who was hiding in the shadows, silently observed all this, and after watching Ji Lianmei being escorted away, she secretly returned home.

"Situ, why did you come back alone, princess?" Ji Yucheng finished sorting out the books and asked.

"Your Highness, the princess was captured by the government."

Bai Yucheng's face changed slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "What?" ”

Seeing the surprise on Ji Yucheng's face, Xiao Yige couldn't help asking, "Isn't this His Highness's plan?" ”

Ji Yucheng's sword eyebrows tightened, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Xiao Yige.

"Situ, according to what I said, go to the government to save people."

"Your Royal Highness, someone has given us a crime to Princess Liu Guo, we just need to sit and collect the profits, why do you have to do more?"

"I don't know who did this, I have to be careful. There must be no room for error. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates will go now."

In the Shoshod mosque.

"Princess Liu Guo, you can plead guilty." A middle-aged man sat on a cold bench in the basement, patted the wood, and asked in a loud voice.

Ji Lianmei was escorted to the dungeon of the official mansion, in front of which was a corpse still wearing a costume, and the pale makeup on her face was stained with blood, looking extremely terrifying.

"No, I don't know him at all."

"Oh? The deceased's name is Luo Chuan, and he also went to the palace of Liu Guo to perform for the Liu royal family, I heard that he was still at that charity performance, and you were disrespectful to the princess, but is there such a thing? ”。 The judge who handled the case was named Zhao Qi, and none of the criminals in his hands did not admit guilt.

Once? That must have happened before she crossed over.

"There are many troupes that come to Liu Guoyi to perform, I really don't remember this person, and I hope that the adults will find out."

"How does this official know if you deliberately said that you didn't know the deceased in order to clear up the relationship? If this is true, then you have the most powerful motive to kill. Honestly, how did you kill people? ”

"I didn't kill anyone."

Zhao Qi snorted coldly, walked up to her, pinched her jaw, and sighed: "If you didn't kill anyone, how could the corpse happen to appear next to you?" Princess Ji Lianmei, I advise you to be honest, otherwise, if such a beautiful little face is made by someone Zhao, then Your Majesty will blame me. ”

His yin and yang weird tone made Ji Lianmei tremble for a while.

In this era, if there were fingerprint collectors and surveillance cameras, there would not be so many unjust, false and wrongful convictions. Ji Lianmei thought to herself: This Zhao Qi neither gave me a chance to explain, nor did he search for evidence, and insisted that I was the suspect, this is too strange, could it be that the real Ji Lianmei had something to do with him before, and now he is going to declare a personal vendetta?

No, it shouldn't be, Ji Lianmei was frail and sickly before, and she was a little scared, so she didn't think she would provoke these people.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are still in a daze at this juncture. Come on, tie her up, and beat her until she confesses. ”

When the guards on both sides heard the order, they immediately grabbed Ji Lianmei from the ground.

"Let go of me, Zhao Qi, you are abusing lynching." Ji Lianmei shouted.

"Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess Cheng, I'm just abusing lynching." A spicy light burst out of his mouse-like eyes, and he grinned and sneered.

"Stop!" Xiao Yige blocked the whip that the jailer was about to swing, knocked him to the ground with a punch, and said to Zhao Qi: "Chief Zhao, you are really bold to lynch Princess Cheng. ”

"It turned out to be the chief of guard of His Excellency King Cheng, Zhao was disrespectful, but Zhao was just interrogating criminals, so why bother you to go there yourself?"

Zhao Qi is naturally not afraid of Ji Yucheng, the straw bag prince, but Xiao Yige was given to Ji Yucheng by His Majesty today, and he can be regarded as His Majesty the Emperor's person.

In case Xiao Yige was upset, he ran to say a few words to His Majesty. At that time, Mo said that he was a small official who laughed at him, and he was afraid that even the adult behind him would end up with his head on the ground.

Xiao Yige stepped forward to help Ji Lianmei, turned sideways and said to Zhao Qi: "Chief Zhao, if the princess wants to kill this person, she will do it when she is in Liu Guo, why do you want to come to my Wu Kingdom, or kill people in front of everyone." Moreover, even if the princess kills someone, it should be judged by His Majesty himself, and you, a small yamen chief, dare to point fingers at Princess Cheng? If these words reach His Majesty's ears, it will not be too much to punish your nine clans. ”

"This ...... The captain of the guard taught ......"

He saw that although Zhao Qi promised on his lips, he had no intention of letting go, and even showed a look of panic on his face. After a little thought, he understood.

Xiao Yige leaned into his ear and said, "If you can't cure the princess's sin today, I'm afraid that the people above you will blame you." My Royal Highness has already set out to discuss with him, so Chief Zhao can only rest assured. ”

Zhao Qi was shocked when he heard this.

Fang Cai's panic for a moment was captured by him, and through the clues, he could understand what he was thinking. This Xiao Yige's insight should not be underestimated.

Zhao Qi hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then the chief of the guard, please take the people away first." He thought that Xiao Yige had seen his relationship with that person, and now he could only follow his wishes.

"As for this case, my prince will personally investigate it, and Chief Zhao can wait and see."

Ji Lianmei looked at Xiao Yige, at this time he held up her side of the clear sky, dark and lonely back, like a Shura who saves people from fire and water, and also like a rakshasa who punishes evil and eliminates adultery.

Xiao Yige, Xiao Yige, why can you always give me plain and warm help when I am embarrassed and lonely?

It was late at night when I walked out of the yamen.

"Thank you." Ji Renmei put on his cloak and thanked him.

"The princess doesn't have to thank me, it's my job."

At the same time, the Prince's Mansion.

When the crown prince of the dynasty was called Ji Ziqiu, he was gentle and famous. But Ji Yucheng knew that this person was not an idle person, after all, he had found out before coming to the palace that the eighth prince and the tenth prince who died of a violent illness were assassinated by His Royal Highness the gentle prince.

"It turns out that His Excellency King Cheng is such a noble person, and if you and I cooperate, we will be able to win the country of that old thing, hahahaha."

Ji Yucheng picked up the teacup and looked at the empty figure behind the screen indifferently.

"Then Prince Lao will let the princess go for the time being, and the murder case will be solved."

Drinking under the moon is self-indulgent, but it's always a little chilling.

"With the prince's words, I am relieved. It was getting late, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to rest early. Ji Yucheng nodded slightly, and left with the guards on the side.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been smiling behind the screen, became colder and colder as he left.

"I didn't expect that I, the ninth brother who everyone calls a waste, would be such a ruthless character. In the future, you will have to watch out for this person. ”

When Ji Yucheng returned home, Ji Lianmei had returned to Chengwang's Mansion with Xiao Yige.

The young man beside him was like a fairy, and his plain pure black cloak was soaked in moonlight, shining brightly. Between the eyebrows, there are still amazing beings, the thin lips that have never smiled are as pale as before, and the eyes that are as deep as a pool are soaked in moonlight, shining and shining.

Ji Lianmei's heart began to beat violently again at some point. Such a young man who is as light as water and deep as ink, his careless care has made her find an unprecedented sense of security in this strange era. She didn't know if she liked it or not, but with him, even if she looked at each other without saying a word, she felt very relieved.

"Princess, is there something on the face of your subordinates?" Xiao Yige caught a glimpse of the girl beside him who had been looking at him with his spare eyes, and asked lightly.

"I'm just thinking that you haven't been home for a long time, but you'll miss your wife and children at home."

"Xiao has no father or mother, he is alone, and he only wants to follow His Highness and serve him in this life."

"So that's ......." A hint of joy flashed in Ji Lianmei's heart, "Are you willing to keep this thing?" ”

Yingying Su carried a finger blade in her hand. Shaped like a Bodhi leaf, with a dark golden dragon and tiger pattern, the mechanism is hidden in the dark, and unless you look closely, you will never realize that this is a weapon.

At this time, metal jewelry was not popular, so it took Ji Lianmei a lot of thought to create this finger blade.

"What the princess gave is indeed a rare thing, Xiao thanked the princess."

Xiao Yige is a martial artist, and his biggest hobby is to practice martial arts and study weapons, so this gift was very successful. It's a pity that he doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, and he didn't realize Ji Lianmei's intention to give him a gift.

"It's okay, compared to your life-saving grace today, such a small thing is nothing to worry about."

Under the Bodhi tree, there stood a tall figure in silence, with deep eyebrows and a smile on his lips, and sighed: "It seems that Bai is worried about her." ”

"Hey, lord, aren't you going to see the princess?"

"Hmm. Not necessarily. Ji Yucheng still kept smiling, his pure white clothes fluttering like butterflies, but the emotions contained in his smile made the guards beside him shudder a little. His eyes were deep and not shiny with a hint of light, and the smile made him look like an angelic demon in the moonlight.
