Even so, Zhao Xiang still didn't dare to glance at Yuqing, but kept kowtowing to Ji Qingyi and said, "The slave really doesn't know her."

Ji Qingyi turned his head to look at Steward Xiao and said, "Where does this family live, do you have relatives in the family?"

Steward Xiao took out a notebook from his arms and said: "The foundation of every subordinate in the house, the minions are all written here."

As he spoke, he opened the notebook and handed it to Ji Qingyi and said, "Princess, please take a look." ”

Ji Qingyi's eyes looked at him with contempt, and he said slowly: "Zhao Xiang, twenty years old, lives in Shangren Town, has not yet married a wife, has an old mother to take care of him, and his younger brother has become a family. ”

After sending Qingyi to finish speaking, he threw the notebook to Zhao Xiangdao: "You also have a fiancée of a childhood sweetheart, who works on an errand in the Jin Palace, and his person is this Yuqing lying on the ground, am I right?" ”

Zhao Xiang hurriedly raised his head and said, "No, no, there are no slaves and no fiancées." ”

Ji Qingyi stared at him for a while, and said coldly: "Xiaoyao, you and Yeli took Yuqing's corpse to Shangren Town to find his old mother, and let her old mother recognize herself."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xiang kowtowed to Ji Qingyi and said, "Don't princess, my mother is weak and can't stand the fright." ”

Ji Qingyi said coldly: "Then tell me quickly, why did you kill Yuqing!" ”

Zhao Xiang cringed and said: "Minions, minions are also unknown as a last resort......"

Before he could say anything, Ji Qingyi slapped him: "Don't listen to the explanation, tell the reason." ”

Zhao Xiang covered his face, swallowed his spit and said: "The slave has a marriage contract with Yuqing, but it was a family affair set when the slave was very young, and the slave didn't like it." Yuqing later went to the nobleman's mansion as an errand and became a slave. The old mother at home thought of her pity, so she asked me to take care of my father and younger brother from time to time. ”

Xiao Ling said angrily: "Then why did you kill her?" ”

Zhao Xiang cried and said with a sad face: "The slave is confused, the slave has been delayed by Yuqing for five years, and he has a marriage contract but can't marry a wife. ”

Ji Qingyi raised his leg and kicked again: "What a succession, what a good son of filial piety, your mother knows that you are such a filial son, she must be angry to death." ”

Zhao Xiang was stomped on the ground by Ji Qingyi, he stood up tremblingly and said, "It's me who is confused, begging the princess to spare her life." ”

Ji Qingyi clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said: "A few days ago, you just looked for Yuqing and said that you were going to withdraw from the marriage contract, and Yuqing had already agreed at that time, why did you enter the palace and kill her?" ”

Zhao Xiang raised his head in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that Ji Qingyi would know.

Ji Qingyi snorted coldly and said: "Later, when you entered the palace, Yuqing jumped up happily, and she also begged me to help her get married, Yuqing treated you sincerely, she said in front of me that you are so good, but in the end?" Did you kill her, or in this cruel way! ”

Zhao Xiang lowered his head, his shoulders loosened, and tears fell to the ground. A nameless fire rose in Ji Qingyi's heart, and he took out the sword from Xiao Jin's hand and wanted to greet Zhao Xiang. This time, no one stopped him, but the moment when the Qingyi sword was about to fall, he suddenly thought of something, and he could stop. She put the saber at her side and said unhurriedly, "I can't kill you now, you can't die yet." ”

Saying that, she squatted beside Zhao Xiang and said, "You are crying, why don't you cry?" Do you feel sorry for Yuqing? Why didn't you feel sorry for her when you killed her? When you dropped the whip on her, did you feel sorry for her? Did you feel sorry for her when you threw her body into the pool? ”

Zhao Xiang couldn't cry at this time, and Xiao Ling, who heard the cry, was anxious, so he took out his whip and hit him and said, "Hypocritical and pretentious! ”

As soon as he hit Zhao Xiang, he wailed and said, "The princess spares her life, spares her life!" ”

Xiao Ling snorted and said, "You can't stand it just after hitting it?" Spare your life? It's not a pity for you to die! ”

As he spoke, he lashed him a few times. The man's shouting was really ugly, and she waved her hand at Xiao Ling and said, "Don't kill me, I still have something to ask." ”

Xiao Ling withdrew the soft whip and stomped at Zhao Xiang again. Now Zhao Xiang has scars all over his body at this time, which are intricate. Ji Qingyi said lightly: "Kneel up." ”

Zhao Xiang trembled and knelt on the ground.

Ji Qingyi stared at him and said coldly: "Say, who are you instructed by?" ”

Zhao Xiang shook his head and said, "The slave is selfish and has not been entrusted by others. ”

Ji Qingyi sneered: "No? ”

Ji Qingyi threw the jade pendant in front of him and said, "What is this?" ”

Zhao Xiang kowtowed and said, "The slave doesn't know, the slave really doesn't know anything." ”

Xiao Ling raised his hand and said with another whip: "Okay, it's you who framed this princess!" Say! What the hell is the attempt! ”

Ji Qingyi said: "You pretended to be Princess Ling and killed Yuqing, who was entrusted by you." ”

Zhao Xiang lowered his head and didn't speak, sending Qingyi Xu to think that he was afraid of something. So he leaned over and said: "Yuqing is just a maid, no big man can make enemies with her, and she is my personal maid, and she happened to die in the courtyard of Princess Ling." You say that such an obvious sowing of discord can't you and I can't see it? ”

She sneered and said, "I don't know which big man you are asking for, or if you have some handle in his hand, but do you think you will be safe if you don't say anything?" If you fail your mission, you won't be able to make it back alive. ”

Ji Qingyi straightened up and looked around, "You should be careful now, maybe there is someone in this palace who is going to assassinate you in order to seal your mouth." Moreover, will your old mother be safe? ”

Zhao Xiang raised his head in a panic and looked around, and said in horror: "Princess, if the slave says everything, will there be no worries about his life?" ”

"No worries about your life?" Ji Qingyi glanced at him contemptuously, and said with a sneer: "I can't wait to talk about your broken corpse." ”

She paused and said, "However, I can protect your mother from being victimized by adulterers." ”

Zhao Xiang collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, squirmed his lips and said: "It's Lord Jing, it was his master who sent the slave to do it, saying that he would give the slave a sum of money after the matter was completed." The minion was confused for a while, and this is ...... The slave is guilty, the slave is sorry for Yuqing, and I just ask the princess to give the slave a happy death. ”

Ji Qingyi turned his head and asked Xiao Jindao: "Can the Great Wei State punish domestic slaves at will?" ”

Xiao Jin turned sideways and said, "Wang Fa is not, but, Yi Ke." ”

Ji Qingyi said with a cold face: "I still keep him useful now, and after a few days, I will break his legs and cut off his tongue, and throw him on the streets of the imperial capital, and he will not be allowed to step out of the city gate for half a step for the rest of his life!" ”

Chu Xiaoyao bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ”

Saying that, he and Yeli pulled him out, and Zhao Xiang was still begging for mercy until he went out, but Ji Qingyi was not a soft-hearted person. This kind of begging for mercy only made her feel more disgusted.

Ji Qingyi stood there staring at Yuqing's corpse for a long time, Xiao Ling was afraid that she was frightened by her words, and the whole person was still stunned, she closed her mouth, swallowed her saliva and said, "Isn't it a little inappropriate to be like this." ”

Ji Qingyi glanced up at her and said, "What's wrong, killing people to pay off debts and paying back, I didn't let him bury Yuqing, it's enough to be benevolent and righteous." ”

After Ji Qingyi finished speaking, he turned around and left, Xiao Jin ordered the housekeeper to place Yuqing's body alive, and then turned around and chased after him. Ji Qingyi turned his face sideways and looked at Xiao Jin and said, "This matter King Jing wants to be in you, don't you have any ideas?" ”

Xiao Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "What can I think?" I have such a clever and virtuous helper as you, and I am not afraid of him. ”

Ji Qingyi sneered and said, "This King Jing is so anxious to stumble on you, can we give up?" ”

Xiao Jin tilted his head and glanced at him and said, "What?" What's your bad idea? ”

Ji Qingyi shook the tassel on his body and said: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the matter of King Jing is to stir up disputes among concubines at best, but at worst, it is to murder the princess." You said that the emperor was already dissatisfied with him, and it is uncertain whether the death of the noble concubine was caused by the emperor for us, but King Jing is not treated by the emperor at this time, so why don't we take this opportunity to oppose him. ”

Xiao Jin pondered for a moment and said: "At this time, the most profitable person is Xiao Kun, who doesn't know how to reap the benefits of a fisherman. ”

Ji Qingyi pursed his lips and said: "This king is not a fuel-efficient lamp, since he has investigated me, then Yuqing's death may have a reason with him, I will let him taste the taste of broken hands and feet sooner or later." ”

Xiao Jin looked at her up and down as if he had just met Ji Qingyi, and said, "You are actually a person who will repay flaws." ”

Ji Qingyi rolled her eyes and said lightly: "I will treat you like a gentleman, and I will treat villains like villains." This world is impermanent, if you have always been a gentleman, how tiring it will be, if you have always been a villain, how many enemies you have to make. ”

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to Xiao Jin and said, "So, if you dare to treat me badly in the future, I will cut off your hands and feet, throw you into a mass grave, and let you fend for yourself." ”

Xiao Jin hugged her waist and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, remember for my husband." ”

Ji Qingyi tore Xiao Jin's arm off in disgust, stopped and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Xiao Jin pointed to the courtyard where Ji Qingyi was and said, "Naturally, I went to sleep." ”

Ji Qingyi rolled her eyes and said, "I have to meet the emperor tomorrow, you can go back and rest." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Jin and said: "No, Yuqing is not here now, there are only two people in the entire Western Courtyard, you and Chu Xiaoyao, what kind of body do lonely men and widows become!" ”

Ji Qingyi pursed his lips impatiently, pulled his hand back and said, "I'm okay and won't let him enter the yard, okay, go back to sleep." ”

Then he flew out in a second, and Ji Qingyi ran to the door and gasped: "How can a king be so clingy, but it can be regarded as being thrown away." ”
