Xiao Yuehuai had a nightmare, trapped in the cause and effect of her previous life and couldn't get out, struggling and desperate, her mind was full of cries and cries of relatives and friends, and cries for help.

Suddenly, there was a soft call in his ears: "Ah Huai? Ah Huai... Wake up? Ah Huai, I'm back. ”

She tightened her brows, struggled to break through the cage of dreams, and finally woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she was already sweating profusely, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Qin E was standing beside her and looked at her with a worried expression.

Xiao Yuehuai was stunned for a moment, and pulled her sleeve in a panic and asked, "You, are you injured?" I... I'm not dreaming, am I? ”

Qin E couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm fine, this... How can it be a dream? But you, why did you accidentally get into the cold? You had a high fever all night, and Ah Lu was tired in order to take care of you. ”

Following her words, Xiao Yuehuai's gaze fell on the figure beside the bed. Ah Lu was burying his face and sleeping unconscious.

The despair and powerlessness in the dream calmed down at this moment.

But the matter of the silver armor guard is like a needle piercing her all the time, making her afraid and not daring to relax at will. Although I don't understand what is going on, Qin E's safe return now shows that the Lu father and son do not know their plan.

After a while, Xiao Yuehuai asked about the matter: "The matter of the silver... How's it going? ”

Qin E bent her lips and smiled, squatted down and said softly, "Thanks to your arrangement." Yan Siniang and I successfully found the place where the silver was hidden in Zhuying Mountain, but fortunately, they didn't have time to melt the silver, and all the incriminating evidence was still there. ”

"Ah Huai, after I returned to the city early this morning, I heard that Erlang of the Yue family took the officials of Dali Temple to copy the Kang Mansion and the Min Mansion."

Xiao Yuehuai was a little surprised, and couldn't help but sigh: "Second cousin's speed is really fast, it seems that the few people arrested last night couldn't resist his methods and recruited all the cases." ”

"Now, if you can take advantage of the victory and pursue, your grandfather's and your father's cases can be reversed!"

"Quick... Pack up, I'll take you into the palace to face the saint! ”

The bleak autumn mood swept through Jinling, and the brick and stone road leading from Qianchun Tower to the palace was paved with withered yellow branches and leaves, and the streets and alleys were full of bleak and cold water. But the three little girls on the chariot had unusually firm eyes.

Qin E pretended to be Xiao Yuehuai's maidservant, lowered her head, followed her into the palace by fishing in troubled waters, and went straight to the Qinzheng Palace all the way.

The two thought that they would have to go through a lot of twists and turns before they could ask to see the emperor.

Who would have thought that as soon as the footsteps settled on the Hanyu platform outside the Qinzheng Palace, Cui Mi, the former head of the imperial palace, ran over upside down.

I only heard him nod and bow, "Oops! My princess! You're here! General Su and Dali Temple Shaoqing Yue are both in the hall, just waiting for you! ”

Xiao Yuehuai was stunned for a moment, listening to what he said, General Su didn't react for a while, and before he could ask, he was urged by Cui Mi to go up the steps.

There were a few people standing sporadically in the hall.

Yue Muze stood on the right side, heard the movement in front of the hall, and turned to look at her.

Xiao Yuehuai nodded at him, and walked forward with Qin E and Ah Lu, and saw that there was still a Lang Jun standing on the right side of the main hall. This man followed everyone's gaze and turned his head to look at her.

The moment their eyes met, Xiao Yuehuai was so frightened that her legs were weak on the spot.

I saw this person standing with his hands in his hands, wearing a silver plum mask on his face, staring at her intently.

Isn't this the killer she kicked down the Jinwu River the night before!! How could he be here?? Could it be that she expected it wrong, this person was not Lu Pingsheng's dead soldier at all? Should he... It's General Su mentioned in Cui Mi's mouth, right?

But... Why on earth did he have that dark account and confession?

Xiao Yuehuai shuddered, trembled and came to the throne to salute Emperor Zhou.

"Huaicheng, are you really terrible now? How dare you bring a smuggler to see me directly? Aren't you afraid that I will be angry and deal with her on the spot? ”

Before she could figure out the turning point, Emperor Zhou had already spoken.

Qin E, who followed behind her, knelt down without saying a word, and bowed her head: "Please calm your anger, everything is done by a sinner girl to blackmail the princess, and there is nothing wrong with the princess's actions." The sinners are willing to be punished by Your Majesty. ”

Xiao Yuehuai frowned slightly, and immediately stopped the words: "Father, don't listen to her nonsense, everything is the idea of the son." The door of the inner prison in the palace was opened by the sons, and Qin Niangzi was also secretly sent out of the palace by the sons. The sons do not want to deceive you. ”

"But since ... Today, my uncle and cousin are here, which means that my father already knows that Qin Ge Lao's case has a clue. If you want to continue to punish Qin Niangzi, you will also punish your sons and ministers for the same crime! ”

Emperor Zhou was angry and laughed: "You girl! Qin E's crime of escaping from prison without permission is unforgivable, and your private release of criminals is also contrary to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Isn't it enough to reprimand now? ”

Xiao Yuehuai quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Emperor Zhou's face, and silently lowered her head without saying a word.

Emperor Zhou shook his head helplessly, stared at Qin E, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked softly: "I heard General Su say, last night you asked him for help, led the men and horses to Zhuying Mountain, and successfully found the disaster relief silver stolen from your father's hands?" ”

Qin E fell to the ground and replied, "Yes." ”

Emperor Zhou: "I have also heard, you want to personally investigate the ins and outs of the theft of the silver?" ”

Qin E replied again: "Yes." ”

"Good! Very good! In this case, I will give you a chance to redeem your merits. Qi Yue of the Criminal Department has reopened the investigation of your father's case, and I will give you the identity of a jury today and go with him to the banks of the Huaishui River to investigate the case thoroughly. How is it? ”

Qin E raised her head, only to feel unexpected. She looked at Emperor Zhou, and was momentarily flattered and forgot to answer.

Even Xiao Yuehuai was surprised, she didn't expect things to go so smoothly?

Emperor Zhou coughed his throat, and his deep and dark eyes were fixed on the little girl: "What? Don't you want to? ”

Qin E hurriedly paused: "The sinner girl doesn't dare!" Let this case come to light! ”

Emperor Zhou said coldly: "You don't have to be happy too early. Until the facts of the case are clear, I will not forgive your father's sins. ”

"As for your grandfather..."

"Dali Temple has verified that the stolen money is related to Kang Rongqi and Min Wuundu, and there are also human and physical evidence to prove that the stolen money was transported in when the Criminal Department raided the Qin Mansion, and the Qin family's capital crime can of course be exempted. But the people in the capital didn't know the truth, and they used this matter as a talking point to hype it up. I have no choice but to check the accounts of your Qin Mansion in order to settle the discussion. ”

"It's just that before the case is concluded, your Qin clan still needs to be held in prison. Do you disagree with that? ”

With these words, the boulder hanging in Qin E's heart fell, and she said gratefully: "Sinner Lady Thank You Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Xiao Yuehuai listened to it on the side, only feeling like a dream.

She thought that going to the palace today must be a difficult scene, and she was afraid that she would have to scrap some tongues so that her father could order the investigation again, but she didn't expect him to let go so easily, and gave Qin E the identity of a jury?

Listening to her father's words, this General Su, whom she had never met in her previous life, seemed to have played a big role in it...

Xiao Yuehuai searched around in his mind, but he didn't find a single word related to this person in his memory. She knew everything about the military generals of Jinling City back then, where did this person come from?

He... Friend or foe?
