Perhaps it was because of Chunxi's failure this time that the other party relaxed his vigilance. Or maybe it's because there were too many flaws exposed in the last time he entered the game.

This time, it only took Xuan Ye two days to find out the clues and use them according to the events of that night, and quickly found out the key clues.

Coupled with the return of Prince Yu, it helped a lot. Those Westerners are indeed real, but they have been threatened by others, so they can't save themselves, and they also hurt Han Ji. When I met Prince Yu, because I was a friend I had met before, I chose to trust the other party and tell the whole thing.

It turned out that they had been held hostage by a group of people on their way to the capital half a month ago.

The gang killed three of the women and threatened them to do as they were asked to do or kill them all. For the sake of their own lives and those of their companions, they can only be controlled by others.

Originally, the woman who was the only one alive among them was asked to bring a few pretended people to the banquet. At first, he just said that he would make things difficult for a woman named Han Ji, but he didn't say that he would cause death. But in the middle of the banquet, their only remaining female companion was killed.

Those who wanted to blackmail them came back and said that the woman named Han Ji had seen through it, so they killed her. Although they also have doubts, they can only continue to obey their orders until now. felt that this matter had to be resolved, and after discussion, he pretended to comply with their demands and continued to embarrass the Qing court, and wanted to put the woman to death. In fact, they are looking for opportunities to find someone they can trust.

The hard work paid off, and they finally waited for Prince Yu to come back, and also participated in the investigation of the case. finally found an opportunity to tell the truth of the matter, in order to seek help from the Qing court. The people who sacrifice for them are ordinary, and they also have a certain way of life for the living.

Although Chun Xi had already guessed this matter, he didn't expect the truth of the matter to be a little tortuous. Those Westerners are indeed being threatened, but they are also harming Han Ji.

Xuan Ye thought that he could also use this to find the master behind the scenes, and Chun Xi had also mentioned to him that Prince Gong was related to the matter. But when they traced it down, they found that all the evidence pointed to one person: Takemitsu Naka, the head of the courtesy.

After knowing this, Chunxi just smiled coldly: "Let Wu Man carry everything alone, and don't leave any evidence, isn't this exactly what Tong Guifei is so good at?" ”

The moment he walked out of the gate of Yikun Palace, he looked up to the sky and smiled. Alas! Lamentable! She has been toyed with by Concubine Tong all the time.

Even at the moment when Han Ji was released, Chun Xi still felt that this matter was not over.

Han Ji woke up after being in a coma for a whole day, and after being in prison for so long, she was already skinny and embarrassed.

Han Ji was picked up by Chunxi herself, and at the door of the cell, Chunxi met several people.

Prince Yu was already waiting at the door before she arrived, and at this moment, Chun Xi felt that the man in front of her was really worthy of Han Ji.

Handsome appearance, tall body, and can be literate and martial, and has a smart head. Because Xuan Ye didn't tell her how Prince Yu made those Westerners trust him, and he was willing to tell everything about it. Maybe Xuan Ye himself didn't know, or maybe it was the secret of the two brothers.

But it doesn't matter, the point is Han Ji's safety.

In addition to Prince Yu, she also met Nalan Rongruo. It's still a guard's dress, but this time it looks far less confident than when I saw him a few days ago, even the smile is a little more bitter.

Maybe he was misjudging himself, which led to Chun Xi's entry into the game, causing Han Ji to regret that he almost had to turn over. At least, that's what Chunxi thought when she saw him.

There is another person, although he stands far away, he still intends to hide himself. But it was still seen by Chunxi.

It was Zhang Pengrong, a lonely shadow standing in the corner so inconspicuous. But that worry made Chunxi see it all.

Zhang Pengrong's ability to solve cases is really good, and when he was helping Brother Lan Xin earlier, Chunxi deeply realized it. is such a complicated and deeply hidden case, he can solve the case with all the cocoons peeled off.

This time, it was also because of his acumen that he found evidence to prove Wu Man's guilt. Even though those are fakes, even though those don't really identify the masterminds. But Chunxi is still grateful to him, he has always been helping himself and helping others.

Xuan Ye once promised him an official position, saying that since he personally grabbed the evidence and convicted him, he would fill the vacancy.

It seems that along the way, Zhang Pengrong has become accustomed to this way. Even when they knew the true identities of Chunxi and Xuanye, they were only surprised, and they didn't stammer like everyone else.

The three are completely different and all have the same heart, this is the charm of Han Ji. No matter who it is, after seeing her and getting to know her, I just want to do my best to protect and love. Even if it's covered in bruises.

Chun Xi wanted to take Han Ji back to the palace, but was politely refused. said that it was not suitable to live in the palace at this time, so Chunxi had to ask Prince Yu to take good care of her.

"Lord Wang, if my sister lives in your house, please forgive me if it is inconvenient. She is now weak and needs to recuperate. I can't go out of the palace to meet her often, and I'll have to trouble you more. ”

Hearing Prince Yu's affirmative answer, Chun Xi was relieved to get out of the carriage of the palace.

It wasn't until the carriage disappeared from view that she turned around and prepared to leave. Seeing Nalan Rongruo, who was still standing next to him, Chunxi walked up to him.

"Since you're here, why don't you come forward to say hello?" Nalan Rongruo was very surprised by Chunxi's sudden questioning.

"Mother, I'm sorry."

"Why say you're sorry?" Knowing what he was referring to, Chun Xi still asked.

"Isn't Niangniang resentful of the lower officials that caused you to be under house arrest for two days?" Nalan Rongruo looked at Chunxi in surprise, but only saw the smile on her face.

"My sister is out, and the rest doesn't matter." Chun Xi said, "Did you do it on purpose? ”

Nalan Rongruo immediately shook his head, his eyes were firm, and his speech was also very hard, for fear that Chunxi would not believe him: "No." How could I hurt Miss Han? It's only because of my misjudgment that you're in a predicament. I'm sorry. ”

Chun Xi smiled again, looking at him, he really didn't look like a handsome boy who was circulated in the outside world, but more like a child: "I believe you have no malicious intent." ”

"Why?"

"Actually, I've always believed in your person. It's just that at first, I didn't want more people to get involved in this matter, so I didn't want to ignore you. It was only after you showed your determination that I began to agree with you. Although I don't know what kind of attitude you have towards my sister, I can still trust your reputation as a prince of Nalan and the integrity of your Lord Ama Mingzhu. Now that my sister is out, I won't get involved in the affairs of the two of you, but I also hope that Nalan Gongzi's kindness to his sister is sincere."

As soon as Chunxi's words fell, he saw Nalan Rongruo smile, and nodded again and again in agreement.

Chunxi got into the carriage and went back, and on the way, Mu Hui didn't forget to ask her why she said that to Nalan Rongruo.

Chunxi just smiled and didn't say anything, there were some things that they couldn't understand. It is the affection of one person for another, which is incomprehensible to outsiders.

After returning to the palace, Chunxi went to Cining Palace, because there was something she wanted to understand, and she wanted to ask clearly.

In Cining Palace, Xiaozhuang was lying on the couch and resting. There is a little palace maid next to her who is lighting incense, probably because the incense in the incense burner is not enough.

It was not good to disturb her, so Chunxi had to sit down on the chair outside and wait. The first wait was an hour, and even the tea served by the palace maid was changed several times.

Hearing movement outside, Xiaozhuang asked, "Who is outside?" ”

"Yi Concubine Guo Luoluo Xi to the ancestors to say goodbye, the ancestors are blessed." Hearing the sound, Chunxi entered, walked to the couch and saluted.

"It's here, sit down." Xiaozhuang pulled her to sit next to him, and then instructed Su Mo'er to bring the Shixin fruits in her palace to enjoy with Chunxi.

Seeing that Chunxi kept her head down and didn't speak, Xiaozhuang guessed that she had something in her heart, so she said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Seeing that she had already seen what was on her mind, Chun Xi hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Why is the old ancestor indifferent to Han Ji's case?" Do you also believe that she is the murderer? Haven't you always liked her before? Why is it ...... now?"

It seemed that she had already known that Chunxi was going to ask this, Xiaozhuang did not seem embarrassed or surprised, she asked rhetorically: "Then do you believe her innocence?" ”

"Chunxi naturally trusts her sister." Chun Xi was asked like this, but he couldn't grasp the meaning of filial piety. Obviously, she asked her by herself, why did she ask about herself instead.

"I believe in her too."

"Then why don't you ignore it?" Chunxi was a little sad, thinking about whether she would stop interfering to help if she had something to do in the future?

"You should know better about the situation than the mourners." Xiaozhuang took Chunxi's hand, patted it gently, and said gently: "All the evidence points to Han Ji, even the murder weapon is in her hands." What's more, the person who died was not a palace maid, but a guest in a foreign land. The mourners cannot show favoritism at such a time. What's more, the mourning family also believes that you will think of a way to save her. ”

"The ancestors believed in Chunxi, but they were fooled in vain." Chunxi glanced at her lips, and remembered that she had once been led into a predicament by Concubine Tong's strategy, and she was even more uncomfortable.

"If you don't experience it, how can you survive in the palace? The mourning family has been in the court and in the harem for so many years, why haven't they fallen into the same situation as you? But one cannot live only on the protection of others, but on oneself. Xiaozhuang said: "In the past, the mourning family loved you and protected you because you were still young. But now that you've been in the palace for three years, it's time to grow up, right? ”

Seeing Chunxi nodded, Xiaozhuang said again: "There are some things that the mourning family doesn't want to manage, but they can't be managed." The mourning family has to plan for their son, daughter-in-law and my good grandson, and they can't blindly favor anyone. You are the same, sometimes you have to think about whether anything you do will affect Xuan Ye and the people around you. ”

Hearing Xiaozhuang say this, Chunxi suddenly understood. It turned out that she didn't care about Han Ji's life and death, but she wanted to protect her grandson.

Maybe she knew what was going on from the beginning, and she didn't get involved because she didn't want to see anyone get hurt.

What she thinks in her heart is the Qing Dynasty, the emperor, and her grandson. So does she also want to tell herself in this way, in fact, she has always known about Concubine Tong, and she doesn't say anything, she doesn't care, just because she wants to protect something more important.
