Chapter 287: Return to the Palace (2)

In fact, she knew that Prime Minister Mu Cheng would not spare her when she went back this time, although she didn't know how Mu Yangshi died, and she didn't know whether Mu Yangshi had anything to do with Mu Yangxue, but she went to the palace this time, she didn't think about coming out alive, she went back with a thought of dying, she knew that Xiao Jin had no attachment to her, so it was actually good.

Ji Qingyi has always wanted to do this, because she has always wanted Xiao Jin to let her go, let her leave the palace, it was like this before, but now it is because she doesn't want Xiao Jin to have any burden on her, after all, many times, Ji Qingyi feels that she is still relatively sorry for him, and she can't give Xiao Jin anything in terms of feelings, she has someone she wants to get close to, but not Xiao Jin, she has a place where she wants to stay for the rest of her life, but not in the palace.

In fact, this section of the road is not very long, and Ji Qingyi didn't let Xiao Yunyan see the prosperity of the imperial capital, so he walked to the main gate of the palace, Ji Qingyi raised his eyebrows, and then tilted his head and said to Xiao Yunyan: "Let's go back to the carriage." ”

Xiao Yunyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned around and followed Ji Qing to the carriage, Xiao Ling and Hongchen were already sitting in the carriage, Ji Qingyi raised his eyes and looked at it, and then pulled Xiao Yunyan in. Xiao Jin sat in the middle, his eyes closed. Ji Qingyi sometimes feels a little aggrieved, after all, he has carried the pot of things he hasn't done, and sometimes he can't swallow this breath when he thinks about it.

After doing it in the carriage, everyone didn't react, the carriage stopped at the gate of the inner courtyard of the palace, Xiao Jin walked towards the Jinluan Palace, and Ji Qingyi followed forward, in fact, the road in the palace is nothing more than those lines, and if you lose your words and keep walking forward, you will definitely be able to find a place you are familiar with, but many times Ji Qingyi doesn't like the palace, so she is not ready to put her eyes here a little more, and the group followed Xiao Jin to the Jinluan Palace, and Ji Qingyi didn't know what was waiting for her inside, The only thing she regrets is that she couldn't find the wind chimes and Qianfei.

The Jinluan Hall was particularly quiet today, and Ji Qingyi could feel that Xiao Jin had always been calm. Ji Qingyi smiled at Xiao Yunyan, Xiao Yunyan pulled the corners of his mouth, and quietly grabbed the gossip plate in his hand.

Xiao Jin removed all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Jinluan Palace, and he brought Ji Qingyi and the others to the imperial study, and when they all entered, they saw Mu Yangxue and Prime Minister Mu Cheng already waiting inside. The two bowed to Xiao Jin, Prime Minister Mu looked at Ji Qingyi, and then knelt down to Xiao Jin and said, "Your Majesty, the three-day deadline you said has arrived, I wonder if Concubine Yi has found evidence to prove her innocence?" ”

Xiao Jin didn't speak, shook the dragon robe lightly, and then sat on the chair, Mu Yangxue kept her head down and didn't say a word. Ji Qingyi tugged at the corners of his mouth and said to Prime Minister Mu: "This palace is not here." ”

When Prime Minister Mu heard this, he kowtowed to Xiao Jin and said, "Look at the Holy Mingjian!" ”

Xiao Ling frowned, took two steps forward and said, "Brother Huang, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, you might as well send Qingyi for a few more days, and you will definitely find out the truth of the matter." ”

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, Prime Minister Mu said: "Your Majesty, the little girl has been in the palace for so many days for this matter, if Concubine Yi has not found a way to prove her innocence, will she let the little girl's body rot in the palace?" ”

said with a trembling voice, and kowtowed to Xiao Jin again: "Besides, now that the evidence is there, it turns out that Concubine Yi killed the little girl, and she was originally the one who was guilty, and she still has to prove her innocence." ”

Xiao Yunyan got into his fist, took a step forward and said: "What Prime Minister Mu said is so good, what is the person who is guilty of the crime, you are slandering Concubine Yi in every possible way now, and now Mu Yangshi's death is going to be framed for Concubine Yi, who killed Mu Yang, I'm afraid you have a number in your own hearts, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned, Prime Minister Mu raised his head, and his forehead turned red and purple: "What is Princess Yan talking about?" ”

Xiao Yunyan stared at Mu Yangxue, and said in a very stiff tone: "What did I say?" The death of Muyang Shi is full of suspicions, and there is clearly a reason, can't you see it, or do you know what's going on behind it? ”

Ji Qingyi grabbed the corner of Xiao Yunyan's clothes and said softly: "Yunyan, don't say it." ”

Xiao Yunyan's eyes were also red when she looked back at Ji Qingyi, she looked at Ji Qingyi and pointed at Mu Yangxue and said: "I said a long time ago that this matter is related to Mu Yangxue, I asked you to check on you but you just didn't go, now that the three-day deadline is up, now you are going to become a murderer, did you really kill Mu Yangshi?" ”

Ji Qingyi frowned and said, "I don't check because I don't want to check, but I didn't kill anyone." ”

Xiao Yunyan chuckled and said, "Yes, you don't want to investigate, why don't you want to investigate, do you think Mu Yangxue is also suspicious?" That's how you ......"

"Presumptuous!" Xiao Yunyan was stopped by Xiao Jin before he finished speaking, Xiao Jin's voice was a little angry, and when he looked at Xiao Yunyan, the whole person was full of anger.

Xiao Yunyan was frightened by the sudden voice, at this time Mu Yangxue also raised her head, she looked at Xiao Yunyan lightly, there was no panic or anger in her eyes, she didn't seem to want to explain this matter, the reaction was too bland, and Xiao Yunyan suddenly didn't know how to accuse her.

Xiao Yunyan took a deep breath, and then slowly walked to Mu Yangxue's side, she looked at Mu Yangxue, and said word by word: "Mu Yangshi's death, does it have anything to do with you." ”

Mu Yangxue looked at Xiao Yunyan lightly, without refuting or admitting it, and without the panicked eyes that she had realized in Ji Qingyi, she just looked at Xiao Yunyan lightly, and then smiled at Xiao Yunyan.

Xiao Yunyan was stunned, she didn't understand why Mu Yangxue was laughing, she opened her mouth and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Mu Yangxue took a sip, then looked at Ji Qingyi and said, "Don't you defend yourself?" ”

Ji Qingyi stepped forward and pulled Xiao Yunyan to his side, and without speaking, Mu Yangxue took a step forward and said, "Or, do you know who the real murderer is?" ”

Ji Qingyi raised her eyelids and said, "I don't know who the murderer is, but it's definitely not me." ”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Mu took two steps forward and said, "Isn't it who you are?" You have not found any evidence of your innocence. ”

Ji Qingyi shrugged his shoulders and said, "So I don't defend anything, if you want to kill or chop it, it's up to you." ”

After Ji Qingyi said this, Xiao Yunyan turned his head to look at Xiao Jin and said, "Your Majesty, how did you know about that secret passage?" ”

Xiao Jin raised her eyelids, and didn't speak when she looked at Xiao Yunyan, Xiao Yunyan didn't know why she just felt particularly wronged, she looked at Xiao Jin and said, "What do you want to do with this matter, Your Majesty?" ”

When Xiao Jin raised his head and looked at Ji Qingyi, there was no trace of waves in his eyes, Ji Qingyi actually didn't expect Xiao Yunyan to suddenly say such a thing, so when he suddenly heard this, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Jin. Today's Xiao Jin is very calm, Ji Qingyi can no longer see the unwilling feelings in his eyes when he was here with her before.

In fact, Ji Qingyi at that time had already thought that he might be directly placed in the prison by Xiao Jin, and when Xiao Jin looked at Ji Qingyi, he pursed his lips and said, "You, what have you found out in the past three days?" ”

Ji Qingyi was stunned for a moment, Mu Yangxue was also stunned for a moment, and Ji Qingyi opened her mouth when she heard this: "Back to the emperor, the concubine didn't find anything." ”

After Ji Qingyi said this, Mu Yangxue was even more stunned, Xiao Jin pulled the corners of his mouth, then raised his eyelids to look at Ji Qingyi and said, "You are a person who is so good at investigating cases, will you find out nothing?" ”

Ji Qingyi lowered his eyes, = did not speak, Xiao Yunyan on the side pursed his lips and said, "Back to the emperor, where did you know about the secret way?" ”

Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes, turned his eyes to look at Xiao Yunyan, and said for a while, "Why do you keep asking this question?" ”

Xiao Yunyan tilted his chin and looked straight at Xiao Jin and said, "Then why haven't you said it all the time, Your Majesty?" ”

Xiao Jin closed his eyes and said lightly: "Chu Xiaoyao told me." ”

As soon as Xiao Jin's words fell, Ji Qingyi frowned and said, "Chu Xiaoyao? ”

Xiao Jin smiled: "How is it impossible, when I found him in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I found this place along the secret passage, and there are your footprints in the secret passage." ”

Ji Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that it couldn't be Xiao Jin who Chu Xiaoyao told directly.

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yunyan said, "Didn't Mu Yangxue tell you?" ”

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Empress? Why mention the Queen? The Queen was here last night. ”

Xiao Yunyan raised his eyebrows and said, "The secret passage is in the Queen's Fengluan Palace." ”

Xiao Jin also raised his eyebrows and said, "But that secret passage is owned by the Ancestor Emperor." ”

Xiao Yunyan took a breath and said: "Mu Yangshi's body was really found in the lotus pond, but the palace maids and eunuchs who were on duty that night did not see Mu Yangshi go out, and Ji Qingyi stayed in Weiyang Hall that night, and did not go out, so why does this matter have anything to do with Ji Qingyi?" ”

After Xiao Yunyan finished speaking, he looked at Mu Yangxue and said: "Since Mu Yangxue and Xiao Yunyan changed the palace, Mu Yangshi has renovated the side hall where she lives, and this secret passage happens to be in the side hall where Mu Yangshi lives, so it is very likely that Mu Yangshi and Mu Yangxue know the existence of this secret passage." ”

Ji Qingyi lowered his eyes on the side, and did not speak, Xiao Jin pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this: "What else?" You go on to say. ”

Xiao Yunyan licked his lips and said: "I don't know if Mu Yangxue killed Mu Yangshi, but I think this matter must be related to Mu Yangxue, and it is very possible that after Mu Yangxue killed Mu Yangshi, it is very possible to send it directly to the lotus pond through the secret passage, and the emperor also said that there are three roads in that secret passage, one of which leads to the lotus pond." ”
