However, in the middle of the hour, all the people in the house came to the front yard, and after kneeling down to several princes, they stood in a few rows under Xiao Ling's arrangement.

Zhou Jinlan was in the center of the first row, and when she raised her eyes, Ni Duruo stood in front of her, and when she saw that she was safe, her body was suddenly soaked in cold, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.

At this time, the guard Shen Yu began to order the soldiers to come forward to check and identify them one by one, and roughly described the physical characteristics of the man last night, but everyone shook their heads and didn't know.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Jingyun took a step slowly, and said in a majestic and cold voice: "If anyone sees it, or knows the inside story, he will tell the truth, and this king will definitely reward him, but if he conceals or conceals it and does not report it, once he finds out, he will be severely punished." ”

Everyone nodded, whispered to each other, and finally shook their heads in ignorance.

Shen Yu walked up to Xiao Yancheng and reported, "Your Highness, none of them are injured. ”

Xiao Yancheng's expression froze, his determination was gone, and he was even more confused in his heart, could he really have escaped? But the soldiers kept an eye on him all night, how did he escape?

Thinking of this, he was firm in his heart, impossible, he didn't have this opportunity! It's definitely still in this house!

Xiao Jingyun had no intention of glancing at Ni Duruo, and happened to see her raising an eyebrow in the crowd, and couldn't help but follow her line of sight, and saw a girl running out and walking straight to him.

Zijin knelt down and buried his whole head on the ground: "Your Highness, Zijin, the girl in the slave maid's room, there is a situation to report." ”

"Say." Xiao Jingyun just stood with his head up.

Zijin took a deep breath, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "On the way back from the slave maid last night, I saw a black shadow flashing by, and the slave maid thought that she was dazzled and didn't care, but now in retrospect, it is estimated that it should be the assassin!" ”

Xiao Jingyun's gaze already had a sense of meaning, and he asked coldly, "Where did you see the black shadow?" ”

Zijin replied: "Near the West Courtyard." ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard her words, and Zhou Jinlan was even more shocked and speechless, it was too sudden, her whole person was like falling into a fog, and she didn't know what to do.

Xiao Jingyun didn't say anything when she heard this, she only looked at Zhou Jinlan slowly, and only saw that her face was as white as paper, and then asked casually: "Did you notice anything unusual last night?" ”

This sentence was ostensibly asking about the situation, but in fact, Xiao Jingyun deliberately asked the prince Xiao Hongzhi to hear it, and he wanted to see how he reacted!

Zhou Jinlan felt a chill in her heart, shook her head blankly and said, "The concubine didn't find anything unusual, and I don't know how the girl said that." ”

This time, Xiao Hongzhi, who was originally just watching the play, didn't think that the matter would involve his own people, and his heart was suddenly no longer calm.

A shadow on Xiao Jingyun's face was particularly gloomy, and he kept thinking in his heart, if Zhou Jinlan was really the prince's eyeliner, if he ordered a search, he was afraid that he would expose himself, and if he didn't order a search, Xiao Yancheng might be suspicious of himself. Either way, it doesn't seem appropriate.

Ni Duruo naturally knew his doubts, so he grabbed the mouth of the crown prince Xiao Hongzhi, looked at Xiao Jingyun and whispered: "Husband, it's just a girl chasing the wind and shadows, maybe it's really dazzling?" ”

"Whether it's chasing the wind or not, since this girl said she saw it, then it's better to search for it to rest assured." As soon as her words fell, Xiao Yancheng took over the words with a condensed face, and glanced around in front of everyone with a lot of pressure with his eyes, and finally landed on Xiao Jingyun's face, "Fifth brother doesn't want the assassin to come out and hurt people at that time, right?" ”

But with a slight pick, he was so anxious! Ni Duruo coldly hooked the corners of his lips, just waiting for Xiao Jingyun to push the boat down the water.

"Since the second brother said it, let's listen to the second brother's arrangement!" Sure enough, Xiao Jingyun was helpless and threw the spearhead at Xiao Yancheng.

With an order, the soldiers went straight to the west courtyard.

Everyone waited in silence, each with their own plans, until the soldiers returned to the front yard with a burden.

"Your Highness, no assassins were found." Shen Yu replied, and picked up the burden in his hand again, "But I found this burden in Zhou Meiren's yard." The subordinates had already checked it, and it contained the bloody clothes worn by the Assassin last night. ”

Zhou Jinlan was stunned suddenly, her eyes stared straight at the burden, she recognized that this was brought by Zijin when she returned to her life last night, but she never expected that the white ghost clothes were wrapped in a black bloody clothes!

How so...... She was shocked and understood that she had fallen into Ni Duruo's trap, but even if she explained the origin of the bloody clothes, she was afraid that it would be a capital crime to pretend to be a ghost in the mansion to scare the princess.

Covered in cold sweat, she knew that it would be difficult to survive this catastrophe. can only insist that he doesn't know anything, and then expect Xiao Jingyun and the prince to intercede for himself to save his life.

"Fifth brother, is this considered a combination of stolen goods, should you give me an explanation?" Xiao Yancheng looked at Xiao Jingyun aggressively with a pair of eyes.

Xiao Jingyun frowned, and his eyes seemed to meet his gaze with apprehension: "Second brother, this ......"

Without waiting for him to continue, Xiao Yancheng turned to look at Zhou Jinlan, who was shocked and angry, and asked fiercely: "Say, what does that assassin have to do with you, did you let it go?!" ”

Zhou Jinlan's body was shocked, and she knelt on the ground and shook her head repeatedly: "No, the concubine doesn't know what assassins are?" I really don't know about the concubine! ”
