Xu Lianyi and Wu Peiling went out of the palace together. Seeing her hesitant look, Xu Lianyi suddenly guessed something, so she persuaded: "No matter how you decide, I will support you." If something like this happens, even if you want to kill them all yourself, it's forgivable. ”

Wu Peiling took a deep breath: "Those robbers ruined my family, how can I let them go so easily." I would also like to thank the Queen Mother for her kindness and giving me this opportunity to avenge my family. ”

The two didn't say a few words along the way. After walking a few steps, I arrived at the prison where the robbers were held.

The officials of the guard had already received the order and waited in front of the door, when they saw a carriage coming, they immediately bowed: "See the queen mother." ”

Xu Lianyi didn't go around the bend with him, and said directly: "You don't have to be polite. We're here this time for the gang of robbers who have just been caught. Please lead the way. ”

The officer then took them to a cell. The cell was very dark, with only a small window at the top. Several of them were tied to shelves and appeared to be in good spirits and did not appear to have received any abuse. It's just that there is a table next to them, which is full of torture equipment, which makes people feel frightened.

"I didn't let them interrogate these people. Now you can dispose of them as you please. Xu Lianyi waved her hand, and the rest of the people all retreated.

As soon as the gang of robbers saw Wu Peiling, they hurriedly shouted and begged for mercy: "Please let the girl let us go, I didn't know that Lord Wu was passing by at that time, I just thought it would be profitable to be an ordinary businessman." I missed it for a while, and I asked the girl for forgiveness. ”

"Why, if it's an ordinary businessman, can you rob at will, you have hands and feet, why don't you do some serious business, but you want to do this kind of business of robbing houses and houses. Wu Peiling thought of her father, and couldn't help but feel sad, reached out and took a whip, and whipped it on one of them.

The man screamed, and Wu Peiling's heart suddenly softened. It turned out that they themselves were unlucky, and they encountered robbers on the way. Now it is only by borrowing the light of the queen that she has the right to dispose of them. But as far as this gang of robbers is concerned, they are only doing things that are beneficial to themselves, and they are not deliberately targeting them. In this way, what right does she have to dispose of them as she pleases.

Thinking of this, Wu Peiling slowly put down the whip and said to Xu Lianyi: "Queen Mother, if you say it, I will already whip them." As for the rest, let the law take care of it. Such a private interrogation is ultimately inappropriate. If it gets out, I'm afraid that someone will talk about it behind my back. ”

A hint of appreciation flashed in Xu Lianyi's eyes, she didn't expect that under such circumstances, Wu Peiling could still let go of her hatred and be willing to let go of these people.

At that moment, she immediately advised: "In fact, what they did alone is not enough to sentence them to death." If you don't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to avenge your family in the future. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Peiling just whispered: "If they shouldn't be beheaded according to the law, wouldn't it be considered an indiscriminate killing of innocents if I slash them now." So what is the difference between me and them? ”

Xu Lianyi admired her even more at this time. She walked over and patted her on the shoulder and said, "I'm surprised that you think so. But I have to say, I'm also glad you made this decision. The law will give you a reasonable explanation. Let's go first. ”

Wu Peiling nodded, and walked out of the prison with Xu Lianyi.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to turn back to the official and instructed: "Just treat those people as ordinary criminals, and don't torture them extra just because we've been here." I believe that the law is just. I'm going to bother you. ”

The official naturally nodded yes, Xu Lianyi also nodded with a smile, and got into the carriage with Wu Peiling.

Halfway through the carriage, there was a sudden noise outside. Wu Peiling opened the curtain curiously, just in time to see Mu Xiaoying who seemed to be avoiding someone, and ran towards them in a panic.

Xu Lianyi saw that Wu Peiling was silent for a long time, so she couldn't help but raise her head to look, and saw that Mu Xiaoying seemed to be following a woman, so she understood a little, so she asked the coachman to stop in front of him.

Mu Xiaoying got into the carriage and said gratefully to Xu Lianyi: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

"What is the identity of that girl, how did you be chased by her like this?" Xu Lianyi's voice was not angry or happy, and it had a majesty.

Mu Xiaoying looked at Wu Peiling a little overwhelmed, he scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's a girl from Yunxing Building." A few days ago, she got drunk and said that she wanted to marry her, and she took it seriously. ”

The three of them were talking, and the voice of the groom came from outside: "Queen Mother, there is a girl outside the carriage who stopped the car and said that she wanted to see Mu Xiaoying." ”

Mu Xiaoying smiled at the two of them awkwardly, but she didn't mean to get out of the car at all.

Wu Peiling already had a resentment in her heart, and when she saw this scene at this time, she couldn't help it anymore, and shouted at the woman: "What's the use of you asking him to go down." His performance has already shown that he does not want to have anything to do with you, so why should you be like this, and lose your face in vain. ”

But the woman refused to show weakness at all: "What kind of person are you, why do you talk like that?" How do you know he doesn't want to have anything to do with me? I know he's in your carriage now. You let him down. ”

"He's already like this, why don't you give up. Whether a man loves you or not can actually be seen from small things. He made it clear that he didn't want to see you, if you were to entangle again, wouldn't even the first bit of beauty have to be consumed, so why bother? It's better to get together and disperse, leave a little good memory with each other, and get to know each other in vain. ”

Outside the carriage, the woman seemed to listen, stood silently in front of her for a while, and then turned away without dwelling on it.

Wu Peiling realized that Xu Lianyi and Mu Xiaoying were both looking at her with an unrecognizable look, so she lowered her head in embarrassment: "People's girl...... Reckless. ”

Xu Lianyi seemed to have just reacted, took her hand and said with a smile: "You were really unique just now." I've never seen anyone as carefree as you. ”

As she spoke, she glared at Mu Xiaoying: "You caused a good thing outside, and now you have to let someone else come out to help you clean up the mess." Why, why don't you come and thank Miss Wu?"

Mu Xiaoying hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Wu Peiling: "Thank you girl for your grace in relieving the siege today." ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Peiling didn't appreciate it at all: "I'm not for you, it's just because I'm unhappy today." She doesn't really like such irresponsible men either. So the impression of him is not very good.

Mu Xiaoying touched her nose in embarrassment and stopped talking.

Halfway through the carriage, there was a sudden jolt. Xu Lianyi was fine because she was sitting in the carriage, but Wu Peiling sat at the door because she had just talked to the woman, and she almost fell out of the carriage with a bump.

Mu Xiaoying's eyes were quick, she helped Wu Peiling, and blurted out: "Be careful!"

Wu Peiling sat down carefully, and a delicate red appeared on her face. Although the situation was critical just now, Mu Xiaoying was still able to pay attention and grabbed her sleeve instead of her hand, which made her feel a little different about him. It turned out that he was not what she thought he was, a prodigal son.

After she sat down, she bowed slightly in his direction, "Thank you." ”

Mu Xiaoying hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's all a trivial matter, don't mention it." But the girl has to sit down, in case she accidentally falls out, she will be in trouble. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Peiling with a pair of hot eyes. Wu Peiling turned her head slightly and didn't look at him, he didn't care, and he didn't hide his appreciation for her at all.

Seeing this, Xu Lianyi coughed lightly, Mu Xiaoying smiled at the corner of her mouth, and withdrew her gaze indifferently.

The carriage traveled a little further, and by this time it had entered the palace. Wu Peiling looked out the window and said to Xu Lianyi: "Thank you for the queen's send-off, today's matter is also thanks to you, I will soon come to the place where I live, and the people's daughter will retire first." ”

Xu Lianyi nodded, but Mu Xiaoying looked at her with a reluctant look.

Seeing this scene, Xu Lianyi first signaled him not to speak, and then said to Wu Peiling: "You go back and have a good rest first, I will go to see you when I have time." ”

Seeing her get out of the carriage, Xu Lianyi pulled down the curtain and said to Mu Xiaoying with a serious face: "Could it be that you also have thoughts about her?"

Mu Xiaoying didn't hide it, and said generously: "Yes, I think she's not bad, she acts generously and is not pretentious." It's really the kind I like. ”

"Don't think about it. She is still in the filial piety period, and it is impossible to have a result with you. Xu Lianyi threatened him.

She thought that her words would work, but she didn't expect Mu Xiaoying to care about what she just said. He also raised an eyebrow to show that he knew.

"What about the filial piety period, it's not that it doesn't come out all the time. Rest assured, I have my own measure. Mu Xiaoying looked at her with a smile.

Xu Lianyi sighed helplessly, and had to warn him again: "In short, you can't do anything out of the ordinary to her." I owe her a debt before, and you can't make trouble for me anymore. ”

Mu Xiaoying jumped down from the carriage: "I know, Queen Mother." I still have to go to see the emperor, so I won't go all the way with you. So saying, he turned and departed. Xu Lianyi shook her head and also ordered the carriage to go towards Weiyang Palace.

She thought that Mu Xiaoying was just looking for an excuse to leave the carriage, but she didn't expect him to really go to Mu Yunting.

"I've seen the emperor. "Mu Xiaoying's formal salute.

Mu Yunting pulled him up: "Okay, when did you understand the rules so well, what's the matter, is there anything wrong with coming to me?"

"I recently heard that the emperor was bothering about the military salary corruption case, so I came here to solve the emperor's problems. Mu Xiaoying rarely obeyed the rules so much, and said respectfully.

Mu Yunting was also very surprised when he heard this: "What's wrong with you today, could it be that something happened, or what wind did you hear?"
