Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu who looked a little depressed. Qian Jiujiu was depressed now because this imaginary master reminded her of her grandfather.
The old man whom she would never see again sighed, "My Lord, take a rest. I don't want to play anymore."
Mu Yexiao naturally agreed and helped Qian Jiujiu put away the playing cards. However, the matter of Arabic numerals was reflected in his mind, and he was always wondering when the promotion would take place.
Seeing Qian Jiujiu lying down, Mu Yexiao also lay down beside Qian Jiujiu. The two of them lay side by side, feeling a little cold, so Mu Yexiao directly covered them with a quilt.
Then his hand reached out to Qian Jiujiu's waist. Qian Jiujiu paused for a moment, then turned to look at Mu Yexiao: "My Lord, keep your claws safe."
Mu Yexiao was confused. What do you mean by claws? That's a hand, okay? But then Mu Yexiao smiled and said, "Jiu'er likes claws? I didn't know Jiu'er has such a strong taste."
This time, Qian Jiujiu was stunned. What did it mean to like claws? What did it mean to have a strong taste? God knows what this brain-dead prince Mu Yexiao was thinking about.
Qian Jiujiu's silence made Mu Yexiao feel that he had won. He couldn't help but hug Qian Jiujiu even harder: "I dream of having such a lovely wife in my arms."
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but sneer: "With a lovely wife in his arms, is Your Majesty willing to be Liu Xiahui?"
Liuxia? What is that? Can it be eaten? After laughing twice, Mu Yexiao said softly, "Since she is my wife, how can she be like Liuxiahui?"
"Today is a special situation. I just want to hold Jiuer in my arms and I won't do anything else."
Qian Jiujiu's face was full of black lines. If you want to do it, you have to be able to do it. To perform in front of so many people, how strong is your desire to perform
At this time, the two of them were moving back and forth in the bed. Mu Yexiao wanted to hold Qian Jiujiu to sleep, but Qian Jiujiu asked Mu Yexiao to take his paws away. The other members of the Qin family were shivering with cold.
Qian Jiujiu did not sleep well that night, because she was attacked from time to time by a claw, that is, Mu Yexiao's hand, which made her look depressed.
Mu Yexiao was very satisfied. It was great to be able to sleep with his wife in his arms. When he was happy, he could touch her here and pinch her there. He was so happy.
Everyone in the Qian family was shivering with cold. Some of them even started sneezing since midnight, and it was obvious that they had caught typhoid fever.
Minister Qian was also not feeling well. He had injuries on his body and now he was recovering, but he caught a cold again. On the other hand, Madam Qian was fine even though she had been cold all night.
But her face looked a little ugly, and when she thought about what was going to happen today, Mrs. Qian's expression was not much better.
Amidst everyone's different reactions, morning came and Mu Yexiao was in a good mood. He felt refreshed after getting up early in the morning. Outside the cell, Hongling and others had already prepared breakfast and water for washing faces.
Seeing Mu Yexiao wake up, Qian Jiujiu also woke up. She opened her eyes, glared at Mu Yexiao, and sat up all of a sudden. It was still a bit cold in the cell in the morning.
The two of them woke up, and Hongling spoke up: "Prince, Princess, you are awake, the water is getting cold, wash up."
The two of them washed up and Hongling's breakfast was prepared, but there was no breakfast in the cell, so they could only watch Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu eat.
Fortunately, Hongling brought an extra bowl this time, which was for Old Madam Qian, so Old Madam Qian was very honored to have a warm breakfast.
After serving Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu, Hong Ling turned around and left. Just after Hong Ling turned around and left, the officials who came to try the case arrived, and this time it was a joint trial of three courts.
There was actually an acquaintance who came this time, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Qin, the Minister of the Supreme Court, Lord Chang, and Lord Xiao from the Censorate. The three of them arranged tables, chairs and benches.
With paper, ink, brush and inkstone, he came to Mu Yexiao. Mu Yexiao was not a criminal: "Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
Mu Yexiao glanced at the three of them and hummed, "Get up. Hurry up and handle the case. Don't worry about me. I will just sit aside and listen."
The three adults looked at each other, and no one could stop Mu Yexiao. This was the only way. The presiding judge this time was Lord Qin, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who sat in the middle.
"Princess Xiao, please, I have a few questions for you. Please answer truthfully. How did you marry into the Xiao Palace?"
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes, looked at Mu Yexiao, and then glanced at Minister Qian and the others: "Your Excellency, this princess was not aware of this matter at first."
"I only remember that a few days before the wedding, Madam Qian brought me and my aunt back to the Qian family, saying it was my grandmother's birthday and asked us to go back to attend."
"On the day of the wedding, Miss Qian and Madam Qian came to see me, my princess. Then I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up again, I was in the palace. Then I saw that the prince was not in a good state."
"At that time, I was worried that if something happened to the prince, the Qian family would definitely be in trouble, and the prince was so beautiful..."
When Qian Jiujiu said this, she blushed. Mu Yexiao's mouth twitched but he didn't say anything. Qian Jiujiu continued speaking.
"Besides, the prince is such a beautiful man that I couldn't bear to see him in danger, so I immediately stepped in to save him."
"During the time I have been taking care of the prince, he has valued me very much. And I also know that speaking out about this will not be good for the Qian family."
"What's more, I already have deep feelings for the prince, so I will naturally not agree to leave him. So I didn't listen to my sister and exchange my identity with her."
"My sister hated me so much that what happened now happened..."
Qian Jiujiu's words were full of emotion. Madam Qian suddenly said, "How dare you, a bitch, frame Yu Ge."
Lord Qin slapped the wooden post and said, "You are such a bold woman, how can you speak at this time? Minister Qian, do you have any bigger demands on this matter?"
Minister Qian immediately began to cry out for injustice: "Sir Qin, I was not aware of this matter at first. It was not until after the wedding that I learned about it."
"And at that time, Madam told me that Jiujiu was truly devoted to King Xiao, so as a father, I naturally wanted to fulfill his wish."
Lord Qin glanced at Minister Qian with a look of contempt: "So Minister Qian, what you mean is that you didn't know about this matter at first, but it happened later."
"You just let the mistake go just because you wanted to fulfill your father's love. So, this matter is all Madam Qian's fault. Madam Qian, do you know that you are wrong?"
Madam Qian felt very uneasy, but when she thought that Qian Jiujiu and Minister Qian had already made their confessions, she had to admit it even if she didn't want to.
Then she thought that only in this way could she save her daughter, and she immediately knelt down: "I did it, I did everything."
"I had someone knock Qian Jiujiu unconscious and put her in a bridal sedan. I also had my daughter Qian Yuge knocked unconscious and had Qian Jiujiu marry in her place. My Yuge knew nothing."
"She still thought that it was Qian Jiujiu who knocked her out and took her place. She also thought that Qian Jiujiu and Prince Xiao had a good relationship and couldn't bear to separate them."
"But I couldn't let it go, so I went to the Buddhist temple to pray for us. I couldn't bear that my Yuge, who was so beautiful, was forced to go to the Buddhist temple, so people spread rumors."
The three adults had not expected that they could get a confession so easily, and anyway, this was just a rational and official questioning, so Qian Jiujiu's position as princess was secure.
Lord Qin looked at Lord Chang and Lord Xiao and asked, "Have you two finished writing your confessions?"
The two nodded, and Lord Qin looked at the Qian family and said, "In this case, please sign your names, and I will report the situation to the emperor."
Everyone signed their confessions and waited in the Sky Prison, awaiting their verdict. Inside the palace, the emperor looked at the signed confessions and sighed.
"These are not enough. Qian Jiujiu is a concubine's daughter who was married off in place of a concubine. Such a thing must be punished severely."
The emperor was a little worried. He didn't want to punish Qian Jiujiu, and Mu Yexiao's legs had not been healed yet. Just for this reason, he had to protect Qian Jiujiu.
In this very troubled situation, the eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Master Zhiyin is here."
The emperor was stunned for a moment and looked at the eunuch: "Who are you talking about? Master Zhiyin from Dahongbao Temple?"
The eunuch nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is Master Zhiyin from the Dahongbao Temple. He said he came for important matters."
"Quickly announce it. Master Zhiyin has never come out of the Dahongbao Temple since he entered it. How come he has come to the palace this time?"
The eunuchs heard the emperor's question, but no one could answer it. Master Zhiyin was a world-famous figure who was very good at fortune-telling and was extremely powerful.
Many ministers, nobles and others went to the Dahongbao Temple to seek an audience with Master Zhiyin, but only a few people could be received by Master Zhiyin. And like now, it was the first time that Master Zhiyin took the initiative to meet someone, which was really rare.
Soon Master Zhiyin came in, looked at the emperor, and quickly bowed, but did not kneel, just bowed: "Zhiyin greets the emperor."
"Master Zhiyin, please stand up quickly. I wonder what Master Zhiyin is here for this time?"
Zhi Yin smiled and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Zhi Yin came here this time because of Princess Xiao's matter. Princess Xiao has a unique fate, she is a phoenix from heaven."
"As for Princess Xiao and Prince Xiao, it is a marriage destined by heaven. I hope the emperor will help them to be together."
The emperor was puzzled now. After Master Zhiyin finished speaking, he turned around and left, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Did Master Zhiyin come here specifically for Qian Jiujiu
