On the way out of the palace, Wen Qingzhu looked ahead expressionlessly.
A group of people suddenly rushed out of the alley ahead.
The leader was none other than Wei Yu. He stopped in front of Wen Qingzhu and said, "Concubine Wei has an order to ask Miss Wen to go to Jingping Palace."
"Except for what?" Wen Qingzhu glanced at Wei Yu's formation. He probably wasn't looking for her to discuss matters.
Wei Yu cupped her hands: "Sorry, I can't tell Miss Wen for the time being. Just ask Miss Wen to come with us!"
Two quarters of an hour later, the group arrived at Jingping Palace.
Wen Qingzhu was led directly to a small room.
"Miss Wen, please wait here for a moment. I need to ask the maid next to you about something." After Wei Yu said this, he left two guards at the door.
"Miss!" Xingyue instantly sensed the danger, and Wei Yu directly grabbed someone, which was not an order that Concubine Wei could give!
Wei Yu said coldly: "Miss Xingyue, please cooperate! Come with us!"
The person behind him immediately grabbed Xingyue and pushed her out.
Xingyue was a little anxious: "Miss! Slave—"
"Shut up! Miss, nothing will happen to you! Why are you causing trouble here!" Lu Tao, who was following him, finally couldn't help it anymore and scolded her.
Watching Lu Tao and Xingyue being taken away, Wen Qingzhu turned around and sat down.
He glanced at the teapot on the table and reached out to check it out. It was still hot.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. It seemed that the tea had just arrived and was specially prepared for her.
About half an hour later, Su Huo, dressed in official uniform, appeared at the door.
But the guard at the door stopped him: "Master Su, Commander Wei has ordered that no one be allowed to visit Miss Wen!"
"Then I will have a few words with her here." Su Huo stopped, looked at Wen Qingzhu's profile and said, "The emperor's eldest grandson was poisoned, and the emperor Long Yan was furious and was ordering people to investigate the matter thoroughly. "
Wen Qingzhu paused and said with a smile, "But was there any evidence found?"
"Not yet! But we have a general direction. This matter is related to the people from Hanbing Palace." Su Huo looked serious, "If you know anything, it's best to tell him now. Hei Jiren is responsible for this case. Dali The Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are only assistants."
Wen Qingzhu turned his head and looked at Su Huo against the light. His clear face was coated with a layer of golden light, like the compassionate Buddhas in the west.
This scene seemed familiar, but she quickly returned to reality.
"Sir, this is just a preliminary inquiry. I believe that Empress Wanbi and His Highness Prince Chu will not take action against a child."
"As long as you know it in your heart, if you don't think about yourself, at least think about Mingxuan. He will be the one who will always stay with King Rui in the future."
After saying these words, Su Huo turned around and left.
Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and looked at the teacup in front of him. She only drank half a cup of tea just now. It was the best Biluochun.
When did Concubine Wei start drinking this kind of tea
Time passed by minute by minute, and it looked like the sky was getting dark.
Someone finally came outside.
Since it's not Hei Jiren, it's not Su Huo, but Concubine Wei.
She stood at the door, but was still stopped by the guard.
"Qingzhu, found the insect lead that caused the poisonous attack on Xingyue."
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes and said, "I didn't mean to hurt the emperor's eldest grandson."
"I know, but now in order to protect King Chu, Xingyue insists that you gave her the thing! When passing by Qingning Palace, it was the time when the emperor's grandson had an attack!"
At this moment, Wen Qingzhu stood up and walked to Concubine Wei: "Xingyue is mine, can you let me see her or see the situation of the emperor's eldest grandson?"
"No need, Xingyue has been imprisoned, and Concubine Lan saved the emperor's eldest grandson." Concubine Wei looked deeply at Wen Qingzhu, "You have no way to go now, even if they are all here, they may not be able to defend you."
"Them?" Wen Qingzhu's first thought was Fu Lie, but in this situation, no one with any brain would do such a stupid thing.
Concubine Wei said calmly: "King Chu, King Ning, and King Huai."
"I know." Wen Qingzhu understood clearly, and it seemed that he had been given up.
As night fell, Hei Jiren came with the people from the Criminal Punishment Department.
After taking out the emperor's belt, the guards moved out of the way.
Hei Jiren walked in, looked at Wen Qingzhu's back and asked, "Miss Wen, you are under serious suspicion now, please come with us."
"Master Hei, look at the wintersweet in this vase. They look delicate and beautiful, but they are not as proud and fragrant as the wintersweet in the wild after heavy snowfall. Which one do you like?"
Hei Jiren raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Miss Wen is indeed Miss Wen. At this time, she is still in the mood to enjoy the flowers."
"Otherwise, what else can I do? You didn't even give me a chance to defend myself and prove my innocence." Wen Qingzhu turned around and met Hei Jiren's dark eyes.
Seeing that there was no fear at all on her face, which was still the familiar look before, Hei Jiren turned sideways and got out of the way: "Miss Wen, please."
When leaving Jingping Palace, Wen Qingzhu was surrounded by people from the Shenxing Division.
Passing through the corridor in the front courtyard, a thin figure stood inside, looking at Wen Qingzhu quietly.
Although Wen Qingzhu knew someone was looking at her, she never gave him a look.
If you think about it carefully, you can guess Jiang Yue's thoughts in the main hall, and even say it to threaten Jiang Yue. He is no longer the ignorant bitch.
It was Jiang Yuanhan, King Rui of Da Qi Dynasty.
So Wen Qingzhu doesn't have to worry.
After watching Wen Qingzhu leave Jingping Palace, Jiang Yuanhan's heart could not calm down for a long time.
Why! Why doesn't my sister even look over
At some point, Jiang Dejia stopped behind him and looked in his direction: "You couldn't deal with these people before, so she planned everything for you, but now you can protect yourself, she There’s no need to worry.”
"Is that because of this?" Jiang Yuanhan lowered his head, feeling suddenly regretful.
If this was the case, he would rather need his sister's protection all the time than stand here alone.
"Sister Dejia, will I never look at me again in the future?" Jiang Yuanhan's voice was very low, with a hint of crying.
Jiang Dejia looked away, touched his head and said, "No, she has always regarded you as her biological brother. When she gets better, she will come back."
"Brother..." Jiang Yuanhan bit his lower lip, turned around and threw himself into Jiang Dejia's arms, "But I'm not a good brother! I can't help her at all!"
"It's okay, she will understand you." Jiang Dejia sighed.
This matter is no small matter. One is a crime of murdering the emperor's eldest grandson, and the other is related to Daonanjiang witchcraft.
In the prison of the Shenxing Department, Wen Qingzhu was sitting on the straw mat, closing his eyes and concentrating.
"It's time to eat!" The jailer came in carrying a food box and a bowl of sour-smelling clear soup.
He left again soon.
Not long after, a mouse came rustling over and began to eat the rancid porridge.
The sounds of cursing and chasing away rats soon started to sound from the next door to the left and right.
Soon, most of the rats came to Wen Qingzhu's cell and were competing for the food in her bowl.
After about a cup of tea, the prison became quiet again and the mice dispersed.
The man who lived next door to Wen Qingzhu was an uncle who was over 150 years old. When he turned around to lie down, he suddenly found that Wen Qingzhu was motionless.
Then under the dim moonlight, he took a closer look and saw that Wen Qingzhu was still wearing fine clothes.
"Hey! Little girl! You look quite unfamiliar. What crime did you commit to get here? How come your clothes weren't taken away by that little black old dog!?"
Wen Qingzhu didn't want to pay attention to that person and just sat cross-legged quietly, trying to ignore the strange smell around him.
But the uncle next door seemed to be excited. He stood up and lay down on the iron pillar between the two cells.
At this moment, a strange odor rushed over directly.
With the uncle's waving arms, Wen Qingzhu almost fainted.
She couldn't bear it anymore, so she stood up immediately and ran to the other side to cover her nose.
Unexpectedly, there was sudden movement behind him, and another smell attacked him.
As a last resort, Wen Qingzhu could only run to the middle and stand, holding his nose and breathing through his mouth.
But soon her stomach began to churn.
A strong desire to vomit arose from the bottom of my heart.
As a last resort, she could only take out a silver needle and prick it into the olfactory acupuncture point.
Finally, her sense of smell failed.
"Huh? Girl! This acupuncture technique of yours looks quite familiar!" The uncle at the beginning pushed away the hair that was wrapped in a ball of plaster in front of him.
After looking carefully, the uncle suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Little girl, who are you from Lutai?!"
When Wen Qingzhu first heard this name, he was still a little unfamiliar.
When she realized it, wasn't this her grandfather's name
She suddenly walked up to the uncle, looked at her face and said, "You know him!"
"Of course I know him. I saved his life. How is he now?" The uncle sat down cross-legged and looked her up and down.
"Lu Tai only has one daughter. He has an affectionate person and he probably won't remarry. So you are his granddaughter? You look so much like his wife!"
Wen Qingzhu originally wanted to sit down, but found that the ground was too dirty. He turned around and looked at it, then dragged the mat over and then sat down.
Seeing her like this, the slovenly uncle touched his chin: "You little girl, how come you were caught here? Look at the clothes and hairpins on your body, they are very valuable. If you haven't been snatched away by the black puppy, then what? It means you still have a chance to get out! Tell me what you committed, for the sake of Lu Tai, I will protect you for a while! "
Although the uncle in front of him seemed quite unreliable, he cared about me both inside and outside his words.
Wen Qingzhu was still very touched, but he said before that he saved his grandfather's life...
"Uncle..."
"What do you call uncle! I am your grandpa! Call me grandpa!"
For some reason, Wen Qingzhu always felt that he had been scolded, but according to his seniority, it seemed that he should call him grandpa.
"Hello grandpa, my name is Wen Qingzhu, and Lu Tai is indeed my grandfather."
"It seems I have pretty good eyesight! There will be extra food in the prison tomorrow, so just give me the extra food! After all, I am here to save your grandfather's life!"
Wen Qingzhu originally wanted to say that his grandfather was dead, but seeing the happy look of the grandfather in front of him, he still couldn't bear to say it.
"You can eat whatever you want. I can ask someone to deliver it right now."
"Really? Will that black-hearted brat surnamed Hei really listen to you? He controls this place with one hand!" Although the uncle didn't believe it, his eyes were already glowing green like a hungry wolf.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at him and found that the old man was too thin, but he couldn't eat a lot of food.
"Just wait a moment."
Wen Qingzhu stood up, walked to the door of the cell, and shouted loudly: "Hei Jiren! I'm hungry! I want to eat!"
No one responded.
The old man also came over to take a look and found that he was staring at the entrance of the cell and motionless.
After a while, no one came over. He turned around and asked, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"It looks like we have to wait for a quarter of an hour." Wen Qingzhu turned around and sat down again.
