Si Chengxue almost forgot that the Fourth Highness was appointed Jinyiwei Xiaoqi a few days ago, and he did have the right to interfere in the case of Wu Zheng and Duan Yue.

"Your Highness is diligent."

He put away his smile, and looked unhappy because of Duan Yunchu's words.

"It's just that His Majesty has entrusted the full authority of this matter to the Governor. There is no need to bother His Highness to take action. The Governor will find the murderer and return the truth to Your Majesty."

"My Highness just happens to be investigating an old case. The factory supervisor doesn't need to care about it. Please go ahead."

With one hand behind his back, Duan Yunchu made a "please" gesture with the other, with a gentle manner and no oil or salt.

Si Chengxue's eyes became more gloomy, she snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves, got into the carriage and left.

Duan Yunchu's eyes were dark as ink, he looked at him for a moment, then stepped on his horse.

Xu Lin pulled the rein: "Your Highness, it has been found out that Lin Guifei was indeed the one who arrested her. She has a private connection with Concubine Zhuang Guifei. Duan Shiliu did not resist in order not to implicate the sixth prince. Your Majesty...has already acquiesce to this."

What Emperor Zhongcheng cared about was not Duan Shiliu's safety, nor Wu Zheng's purpose, but his great cause.

Before being poisoned, he only wanted to live forever, and after being poisoned, he only cared about his own life.

But selfishness.

King Jing rode his horse and galloped out, his peach blossom eyes were cold: "Go to Dongchang."

The two arrived one after the other.

King Jing holds the token of Jin Yiwei in his hand, and he can enter from anywhere up to the court and harem, down to the rural government offices.

Si Chengxue couldn't stop him, so he could only watch him get off the prison, and went straight to the lowest level of the prison for serious offenders.

Unfortunately, there was no one he was looking for here.

Si Chengxue pursed her lips and followed behind him with her hands behind her back: "Did Your Highness find the criminal to be interrogated?"

Prince Jing: "Where is Duan Shiliu?"

"Duan Sixteen?" He looked surprised, "Isn't he recuperating in the palace? Why did His Highness come to Dongchang to look for someone?"

Prince Jing's eyes darkened: "Jin Yiwei was ordered to handle the case, and the factory supervisor obstructed it. Is it because he intends to resist the order?"

Si Chengxue was helpless: "If possible, the governor would naturally want to cooperate, but it's a pity that Duan Shiliu was not detained in Dongchang. His Highness the Fourth Highness really misunderstood me. If you don't believe me, you can search all the cells here."

Xu Lin winked at the Jinyiwei.

Several people searched hundreds of cells one by one, but they didn't find Duan Shiliu.

"Your Highness, no."

Si Chengxue pursed her lips: "Fourth Highness, it's late at night, and it's time for the governor to rest."

Prince Jing glanced at him, didn't say anything else, and took him away.

Si Lin sent people away, and came back to report: "Master Duan, Duan Shiliu has been transferred to the dark room."

Si Chengxue's angry expression was cold: "If Duan Yunchu hadn't obtained the information, he wouldn't have come directly to Dongchang to ask for someone. He even knew which cell Duan Shiliu was in. What did you, the captain, do?"

Si Lin paused: "I know my mistakes from my humble job."

"Check out the people who have been in contact with him today. There must be Duan Yunchu's secret work in it, and I will kill him!"

"Yes!"

After Si Chengxue gave her orders, she went straight to the darkroom without even looking at him.

Si Lin clenched his fists tightly, adding another layer of jealousy towards Duan Shiliu in his heart. It was fine for the third prince and others to be attracted to him. He didn't care, but why did his governor suddenly show so much concern for this person? Dark Guard, what is so attractive about it?

Xiao Chunren stepped forward and reported: "My lord, Concubine Lin Gui is asking for an audience in the front hall, it's about the Sixth Prince."

Lin Guibi doesn't like disputes, and the reason why she was able to persuade her to help this time is thanks to Si Lin's threat of an antidote.

"A woman is a woman after all, so what if she hates her son so much, in the end she still can't bear it."

Si Lin laughed and went to the front hall.

……

Duan Yue lay dying on the straw mat.

Si Lin was worried that he would escape, so he fed him cartilage powder. His internal energy was exhausted, and he couldn't exert any strength.

Xiao Huangshu sat on his back, pinching his shoulders while worrying: "How is Dad feeling? Does it still hurt? Why don't we go into the space and heal the wound, otherwise Dad's body won't be able to hold on."

"No, you will be burned as a monster."

Duan Yue was dizzy and dizzy, and the sequelae of cartilage powder made him feel sore and uncomfortable, and his stomach was churning and vomiting.

Suddenly, there was a sound at the door: "See the Governor!"

Duan Yue opened his eyes with difficulty and looked up.

A moon-white figure stood in front of him, tall and slender, cold and inexplicably cold.

In a daze, Duan Yue recognized him as Prince Jing from his previous life, and said in a daze, "Duan Chuchu..."

Si Chengxue narrowed her eyes, walked in front of him, knelt down and raised his chin: "Duan Shiliu, look clearly, I am Si Chengxue."

Duan Yue's pupils gradually became clearer.

He moved his face away in embarrassment, and the tips of his ears turned red: "I saw it wrong."

"You look very disappointed." Si Chengxue said, "Do you really hope it's His Highness the Fourth?"

"No." Duan Yue denied with a stiff face.

"But he can't save himself, and I'm afraid he can't save you either."

Duan Yue frowned: "What do you mean?"

Si Chengxue smiled lowly: "Oh, the governor forgot, you don't know yet, the eldest prince sent a letter today, saying that there is a miracle doctor in Beiyi who can cure His Majesty's strange illness, but the requirement is to negotiate a peace agreement."

The princes of Beiyi Kingdom are all young, and there is only one princess who is married at the right age, named Shanyu Feiyan, who is rumored to be beautiful and picturesque, good at leading troops in battle, and enjoys a high reputation among the people.

"What does it have to do with Duan Chuchu?"

"The first prince is already married, the second prince and the third prince have a strong mother clan, the sixth prince has not yet reached the age of marriage, and only the fourth prince is stuck in the middle. Besides him, who else is suitable?"

Duan Yue frowned and thought about it. There were rumors in the previous life that Princess Shanyu admired King Jing and wanted to marry, but Zhao Jingyou interfered with it, and King Jing never responded, so the matter was left alone.

"It's none of my business if he wants to marry." Duan Yue didn't care, "I didn't expect him to save me either."

"Really." Si Chengxue was noncommittal.

How loyal Duan Yue was in his previous life, even to the point where he never resented being betrayed and tortured countless times, he could see it all.

If a person has such a long-term love, mountains and seas can't be eliminated even if the mountains and seas recede, how can the liking heart change just as it says.

"Aren't you sad, Duan Yue?" Si Chengxue caressed his face through the cage, "You used to admire him so much."

Duan Yue was startled, and looked at him in surprise.

But Si Chengxue withdrew her hand, smiled at him, got up and left.

Duan Yueyou couldn't believe it, touched his ear: "Did I hear wrong, he called me... Duan Yue?"

Xiao Huangshu sat on top of his head with a serious face, and the data in front of him quickly swiped past.

"Dad, it's not good, there is a bug in the timeline."

Duan Yue blinked, curious about this new word: "Bage?"

Xiao Huangshu fell on his back, spent a quarter of an hour explaining the word to him, and then worried: "Si Chengxue may also be reborn."

"Ah..." Duan Yue felt a little troublesome, "Then why did he blew himself up in front of me? Did he discover my secret?"

"No, if he was sure, he wouldn't do it. It should be just a test."

"Then my reaction just now..." Didn't it confirm his guess.

Xiao Huangshu called up the video just now: "Dad, don't worry, you don't really have any reaction in the eyes of others."

Duan Yue twitched the corner of his mouth, the little yellow book really has everything.

He leaned over to take a look. Because of his weakness, his expression was a bit slow, and there was really nothing unusual.

While heaving a sigh of relief, he couldn't help worrying: "According to what you said, the timeline is out of order. Would the reborn person be worthless to Si Chengxue?"

"It's possible, Dad, you should be more careful in your actions in the future."

Duan Yue nodded thoughtfully.

He thought about all the strange things that happened in the past, and suddenly began to wonder if there were a few reborn people in the dark guard camp.

She didn't know what Si Chengxue was planning, but luckily she just locked him up and didn't do anything else.Duan Yue slept soundly at night, it's rare that he didn't have a nightmare.

In the middle of the night, he vaguely noticed that there was an extra breath on his side, but he just thought that Xiao Huangshu got into his arms to sleep after finishing his work. This kind of thing often happened in the past, so he didn't think much about it, turned over and put He hugged him in his arms and fell back into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, when Duan Yue thought about this, he felt a little strange.

No, that person's body shape is different from Little Yellow Book's.

When asked about Xiao Huangshu, Xiao Huangshu said that he did not sleep with him.

Duan Yue was startled, then who was he holding in his arms at night!

Before he could figure out why, Si Lin opened the door and walked in, ordered someone to take him into the cell for interrogation, forcing him to confess to the poisoning.

Only then did Duan Yue know that when he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation that night, he was followed by people from Dongchang.

His martial arts were much lower than in his previous life, and he didn't find the spy for a while.

While Duan Yue was annoyed, he denied it categorically, and firmly refused to admit that he had done it himself.

Anyway, Dongchang had no evidence, so he gritted his teeth and refused to let go, and Si Chengxue couldn't do anything about it.

Si Lin couldn't pass the interrogation for a long time, and was annoyed in his heart, so he directly ordered someone to tie him up and put him to death.

After all, he cared about Duan Yue's identity and his previous affection, so he didn't use any cruel measures, but only used a set of torture, but it was painful enough, and Duan Yue had no internal strength to resist now, this time he had enough suffering.

When he got off the rack, he was drenched in cold sweat and swollen.The bloody finger drooped weakly and looked like it was broken.

Si Lin said coldly: "I'll give you another day, tomorrow. If you don't confess again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After finishing speaking, he locked Duan Yue back into the cage in the dark room and threw a plaster.

Duan Yue hooked over with his feet, he was so worried that he couldn't move his hands, how to apply medicine, Si Lin was simply incompetent.

Seeing this, Xiao Huangshu turned into a villain and landed, humming and holding the plaster, and rubbing it on his bruised knuckles.

While wiping, she shed tears: "Father, let's run, it hurts so much."

Duan Yue sighed, he wanted to leave too, but the old emperor was not dead, he would have to be arrested after he left, and he might implicate the sixth prince.

Even if he wants to run away, he must at least find a way to let the sixth prince stay safe.

Duan Yue was really exhausted, and after thinking about it, he fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already late at night.

The fingers were burning and burning, and the pain was unbearable.

Duan Yue took a deep breath, looking for some water to apply.

Before he could move, there was a sudden "squeak" sound from the floor not far away.

Duan Yue was startled, and reflexively lay down on his back, closing his eyes and pretending to be dead.

Soon, a piece of the floor was lifted.

A figure came out of the hole, walked to his side, bent down and reached out to hug him.
