Chapter 36: The Qi family's counterattack
In a small courtyard in the south of the Imperial City.
After Lu Luoxi walked into the small courtyard, he saw Xi'er decocting medicine.
There was a chubby round-faced girl standing next to Xi'er, and Lu Luoxi remembered it after recalling it.
It's the jade who buried the mountain fruit with Xi'er.
Lu Luoxi was a little impressed by his memory, he really never forgot it.
I forgot about her when I saved Xi'er, but what made Lu Luoxi even more puzzled was why Yu'er was here.
Qiu Lu, who was at the back of the door, nodded to Lu Luoxi, signaled that no one was following, and then closed the courtyard door.
Xi'er found Lu Luoxi who came in, and hurriedly got up and pulled Yu'er over to salute.
"Thank you for the life-saving grace of Princess Xie."
The visitor knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
After Xi'er and Li Lei were rescued, they asked Qiu Lu and learned that Lu Luoxi rescued them.
"Get up. Yu'er, why are you here? ”
Hearing Lu Luoxi's question, Yu'er was stunned.
"Didn't the eldest princess save me and send me here?"
Yu'er's answer, Lu Luoxi was also stunned.
Seeing Lu Luoxi's doubts, Xi'er hurriedly explained:
"Yu'er was also rescued after encountering danger, and the slave thought that it was also the eldest princess's doing, so she told Yu'er about it."
Lu Luoxi didn't want to explain more, knowing that less would be good for them.
"I forgot about it, I can't remember it clearly."
Lu Luoxi snorted and fooled the past, but his heart was a little turbulent.
Is this also the work of the crown prince?
Isn't this a clear way to tell yourself that what you do is under his surveillance all along.
In other words, Jiu Yan's forces are under his surveillance.
Forget it, I and Jing Qian don't have anything to fight with them, let him go.
After avenging the concubine, she quickly left the place of right and wrong, and presumably slowly stopped paying attention to us.
"Xi'er, how is Li Lei's injury?"
"Back to the princess, it's already much better, but I still have to cultivate for a while."
While the two were talking, Lu Luoxi had already walked into the room.
Li Lei, who was still lying on his clothes, heard Lu Luoxi coming and wanted to get up and salute.
However, Li Lei, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, looked very difficult to get up, and Xi'er hurried over to help.
"Lie down, no need to be polite."
Seeing that Li Lei's face was a little pale, and his breathing became rapid when he got up, Lu Luoxi hurriedly persuaded him.
"Princess Xie."
Li Lei said thank you and lay down.
"Xi'er, Yu'er, do you know who is going to kill you?"
"It seems to be Concubine Qi's mother."
After listening to Lu Luoxi's question, Xi'er said her thoughts after thinking for a while, and Yu'er also nodded.
In the past few days, the two of them have also guessed a rough idea based on the recent events, which may be related to the uncommon fruits that the two of them went to bury.
"Yes, it's your Concubine Qi."
Lu Luoxi affirmed the thoughts of the two.
The main purpose of Lu Luoxi's visit this time was to let Xi'er identify Concubine Qi.
lest when facing the court, Xi'er was taken by Concubine Qi's power, and did not dare to identify it, not to mention more twists and turns, for fear of suffering some flesh and skin.
"The panshan fruit you went to bury is the evidence of the crime of killing the mother and concubine of this palace, and you dare to identify Concubine Qi in court."
Hearing that Concubine Qi was going to be identified, Xi'er was a little uncertain and looked at Li Lei.
Li Lei nodded to Xi'er.
Yu'er was obviously scared, and her body trembled a little.
"Even if you don't identify Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi won't let you go. This palace can protect you for a while, but it can't protect you for a lifetime. ”
Seeing Yu'er's frightened appearance, Lu Luoxi reminded him.
On the one hand, Lu Luoxi wanted to avenge his mother, and on the other hand, he really wanted to consider the two of them.
"The slave is willing."
After obtaining Li Lei's consent, Xi'er took the lead in speaking.
Seeing that Xi'er had already agreed, coupled with Lu Luoxi's words, Yu'er also made up her mind.
"The slave is willing." However, Yu'er's voice was still a little trembling.
Within the Imperial City, Qi Mansion.
Qi Zhong, who had a sad face, was lying on the Taishi chair at this time, with his eyes closed, not knowing if he was already asleep.
There was a man standing beside him, frowning thoughtfully.
This person is the Zhao family's previous bookkeeper, Qi Shi.
After a subordinate came over, he saw that Qi Zhong was resting, but he didn't dare to make a noise, walked into Qi Shi, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Seeing that Qi Shi nodded, he left.
"Master, I just got the news that the chief judge of the three divisions has arrived, and it is Dong Boyi."
Qi Zhong, who was already full of wrinkles on his face, heard the news, and there were a few more wrinkles on his forehead.
Qi Zhong sighed and spoke slowly.
"What's going on with the rumors outside?"
"The rumors outside have been verified and are true, and the human and physical evidence are indeed in the Zhenbei General's Mansion."
After listening to Master Qi's words, Qi Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he aged a lot in an instant.
Qi Zhong knew in his heart that it would be difficult to turn the tables now.
It is difficult for Concubine Qi to get away with her guilt now, unless she erases the current human and physical evidence.
However, the people in the Zhenbei General's Mansion are not so easy to kill.
At this point, there is no other way.
"Take someone tonight and go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion to get rid of the witness."
Seeing that Qi Shi didn't answer his words, Qi Zhong opened his eyes, "What do you think?" ”。
"The villain thinks this is a trap set by Zhao Yue."
Qi Zhong smiled lightly, a little helpless.
"I don't know, but we don't have any other way now, let's give it a try."
"Do you want to mobilize all our forces?"
Qi Shi asked Qi Zhong's opinion.
"No, except for the third prince, no one else is worth it."
"Yes."
When Qi Shi turned around and was about to leave, Qi Zhong called out to him.
"Take more people, divide them into two groups, and you touch them in from the backyard."
After telling Master Qi, Qi Zhong closed his eyes again, still with a sad face.
It's night, the town is north of the General's Mansion
Dark clouds blocked the already not-so-bright crescent, and endless darkness spread to every corner of the General's Mansion.
The leaves rustle in the wind.
At this time, the Zhenbei General's Mansion, except for the sound of the wind, was terrifyingly silent.
Outside the General's Mansion, a team of men in black stood against the wall.
After the leader nodded, everyone turned over and entered the courtyard.
The crowd walked to a house and was about to push the door in.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air came to their ears, and before everyone could react, they were instantly shot by arrows and hit several people.
For a time, in the general's mansion, there were swords and swords.
The sound of the wind was gone, replaced by the sound of swords clashing.
Zhao Yue walked out of the main hall, and in an instant, the lights in the general's mansion were bright, and there was no dark scene just now.
"General, a group of people have also come in the backyard."
Hearing the report of his subordinates, Zhao Yue's resolute face did not change a trace of expression.
"It doesn't matter. Don't let any of them go. ”
Zhao Yue said, looked at everything in front of him coldly, stretched out his hand to take the big knife, and walked towards the group of black-clothed people in the battle circle.
