Empress is a sick beauty

Just when everyone was distracted by Ling Xi, the shadow had completely disappeared.

The guard repeatedly asked for instructions, "Your Highness, I can still catch up with you now."

And at this moment, Yunyi lowered her eyes to look at Ling Xi holding her hand, and then raised her eyes to stare at the person.

"Why do you feel dizzy? Go find a doctor for your brother." Shen Rui supported Ling Xi with a worried expression on his face.

Ling Xi was still holding on to Yun Yi's sleeve, looking at Yun Yi with her eyes, but she was speaking to Shen Rui, "Brother, don't worry, I'll just go back to my room and rest for a while."

"I'll help you go back." After saying that, Yun Yi wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and brought him into his arms, saying that he was helping, but actually he was almost half-supporting and half-embracing him.

The guards stood still, staring blankly at the few people going away, neither chasing them nor not chasing them.It was only now that he was sure of chasing him, but now he might not even be able to lose a single hair.Thinking about when their lord hesitated about something, today I really saw a ghost.

The errand of helping people was taken away by Yun Yi, Shen Rui paced outside, worried, and finally called the doctor, and he was completely relieved when he heard that there was no serious problem.

Yun Yi closed the door, turned around and went back to the bed, saw that his expression was normal, and then asked, "Is Mr. Ling protecting someone?"

Ling Xi lowered her head and smiled slightly, "I knew I couldn't fool His Highness."

But his goal of stopping Yunyi has been achieved, this matter needs to be dealt with by Yunyi after all, and the left and right must confess to him.

It seemed that his trick of holding people back was very clumsy, but he was inexplicably sure that it would be effective.

Upon hearing that there really was such a person, Yun Yi immediately frowned, except for the members of the Shen family, who else has such a great ability to make the person in front of him take it to heart?Still cover for it?

"I just think that there is something strange about the case of Yang's extermination of the family, and the sudden appearance of witnesses also has many doubts. Don't you think so?" Perhaps Xu Zhifu may be fooled, but Yun Yi will definitely not.

"It is true that there are many doubts. The witnesses are now being kept in the Yamen, and they will be released home after the truth is revealed."

At this moment, Ah Jiu knocked on the door suddenly and came in, seeing Yun Yi hurriedly saluting, "See Your Highness King Yi, son, please let the servant keep an eye on Xiaocui's whereabouts, the servant just saw that she wanted to leave the house through the back door, and has already sent her to the house." She stopped."

Ling Xi nodded, "Okay, you bring her here."

Yun Yi frowned even more when he heard the name, until Ah Jiu brought him in, when he saw Xiao Cui with his own eyes, his eyes had become almost cold.

As soon as Xiao Cui raised her head, she was startled by Yun Yi, and then buried her head lower.

"Don't be afraid, Your Highness is a good person and is here to help you." Ling Xi said softly, "Xiao Cui, or I should call you Miss Zhou Yu."

Zhou Yu froze when she heard this, and then knelt down on her knees with a thud, "I'm not a murderer, I didn't kill someone, please don't send me to jail, sir."

Ling Xi didn't want to scare people, but it was unavoidable. He sighed inaudibly, "Miss Zhou, get up first. If I want to send you to the cell, how can I cover for you? Why did I call you here in private?"

When she learned that someone was peeping in the front yard, Ling Xi had already guessed that it was her. If someone was arrested on the spot, they would have to mobilize people to bring them back to the Yamen. If no other evidence could be found, Zhou Yu's situation would be very dangerous.But if the person is handed over to Yun Yi in private, it would be safer to let her come forward when the truth comes out.

Zhou Yu was gradually moved by Ling Xi's persuasion. Although he didn't get up, he was willing to raise his head to speak.Even if she learned that the person sitting next to Ling Xi was the prince, she was no longer as frightened as before.Ever since she bumped into Shen's residence by mistake and was taken in by Shen's residence, the first time she saw Ling Xi, she had an intuition that this fairy-like young master could save her.No matter how daunting this Prince is, there seems to be a trace of restraint around Young Master Ling.

"The eldest son of the Yang family is a good man. Although I have never had any feelings for him, and I agreed to marry him to bury my father, I definitely have no intention of harming him."

Yunyi quietly listened to her account of what happened before and after, and there was a big discrepancy with the testimony of the witnesses who beat the drums and complained.At present, there is no third person to prove that what they said is true, it can be said that there is no proof.

"Do you know Blacksmith Hu?"

Zhou Yu shook his head again and again, "I don't know any blacksmith at all, please be careful, my lord! I also don't know how I escaped, I only know that when I woke up, there was a fire in the Yang Mansion, corpses were all over the place, I managed to escaped from the flames."

"I'm afraid that arrest notices have been posted in the city now. It's really inappropriate for Miss Zhou to stay in Shen's residence. Your Highness, it's better to place her elsewhere first, and then slowly investigate." Ling Xi got up and thought about it. method.

Yun Yi nodded in response, "I'm here, don't worry. If she was wronged, I will definitely keep her safe."

Ling Xi smiled, "Of course I can trust Your Highness."

He didn't ask where Yunyi would place the person, he believed that he would handle it well, and he didn't need to worry about it.

The arrest warrants are still posted on the street market, and the common people can no longer inquire about the progress of the case, and the rest are only various speculations in the market.Ling Xi had already given orders to keep Shen's residence tight-lipped and erased all traces of Zhou Yu's existence in Shen's residence.

Shen Rui has been in business recently like a fish in water. After completing a big business, it is rare that he has time to spend with Ling Xi.

I heard Ah Jiu, who always went to the teahouse to listen to books, said that there was a new storyteller in the teahouse, and he was a masterpiece. Since he came, the business of the teahouse has been better than before.

Whenever Ah Jiu happily recounted the storytelling jokes, Ling Xi would listen quietly with a smile on her face.Shen Rui saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart. Finally, one day, he arranged everything and took Ling Xi to the teahouse.

The private room reserved by the Shen family is naturally the best location carefully selected.As soon as the two brothers entered, tea and pastries were immediately brought to the table.

Ling Xi looked downstairs, they were sitting just facing the storytelling table.At this time, an old man with a white beard came up to the stage and sat behind the table, and the tea guests below fell silent for an instant.

Xingmu slapped, and the old man said, "Today, let's talk about the martial arts catastrophe three years ago. The Nether Valley was destroyed and the treasure map was lost."

The tea guests applauded and applauded, and the old man started talking excitedly.Ling Xi paused and raised her eyes.

The old man stroked his beard, shook his head, and said eloquently, "It is said that during the reign of Jingrui, a catastrophe occurred in the Wulin, and the owner of the Nether Valley got a treasure map from nowhere. According to rumors, this treasure map was left by a foreign race. There are treasures comparable to half of the country, and if you get them, you can be rich and rival the country. If any power gets it, it will be just around the corner to become a king. But there is only a small part of the treasure map, and the Nether Valley is looking for the rest. The treasure map is built everywhere. Kill evil, do all kinds of evil."

As he spoke, the old man picked up his teacup and savored it carefully.

The tea guests below were getting excited when they heard it, but the old man suddenly stopped, whetting the appetite of the people under the stage.

Finally, someone couldn't help but asked on the stage, "Is there no one in the righteous way of martial arts who can restrain this Nether Valley Valley Master?"

The old man put down his teacup, smiled and shook his head, "The Lord of Nether Valley has profound skills, how can ordinary people be able to control it? Besides, Nether Valley is not a person of integrity, and he often uses hidden weapons and some indiscriminate means, which makes people hard to guard against It is not that people in the martial arts do not have the same hatred, but the first attack on Nether Valley suffered heavy casualties, and the leader of the martial arts was seriously injured and died. After that, no one dared to easily confront Nether Valley."

Another human said, "How did the Nether Valley disappear?"

"Hey, this is exactly what the old man is going to talk about next." The old man kept talking for a long time, and continued unhurriedly, "Just three years ago, a young hero in white was born out of thin air. Mysterious and unusual, no one has seen his true face, but when the Lingyuan sword in his hand is released, almost no one can beat him. This person broke into the martial arts catastrophe single-handedly, and fought with the owner of the Nether Valley in the Mountain of No Return. After four years Fighting and killing for three days and nights, the owner of the valley died under the sword of the young hero in white. The treasure map is also gone.”

A regular customer of the teahouse asked, "Sir, why are you talking about this passage today?"

The old man smiled meaningfully, "Naturally, it is because of the recent extermination of the Yang family in Yangzhou City. There are rumors that the Yang family has a family heirloom, which is one of the treasure maps. What is the reason for the disaster of the Yang family? Now. Let’s get down to business, there are countless rumors about where the young man in white will go after that, and the old man alone knows no less than ten versions, what are they all?”

The old man patted the wood and said, "Please listen to the next chapter to explain." After finishing speaking, regardless of the complaints from the audience, he walked back to the stage slowly.

Shen Rui quietly looked at Ling Xi, "As expected of a storyteller who travels far and wide, he knows quite a lot."

Ling Xi smiled without saying a word, and continued to sip the tea in her hand.

The storyteller retreated, followed by a girl who sang, and before the crowd applauded, a group of people suddenly broke in and surrounded the teahouse.

The girl retreated to the corner with her pipa in her arms, and the common people fell silent, no one dared to be the first bird at this time.

Ling Xi was taken aback when he saw the clothes of their guards, and saw that the leader was the person next to King Yi.

Several guards hurriedly pulled a man off the tea table and pressed him to the ground, causing the surrounding people to scream.

"Boss, fierce. The criminal has been captured."

The man struggled to raise his head, but was trampled to death by the guards.

"What a crime. Criminals, who are you? You actually fabricate facts and frame good people in broad daylight!"

"Good people?"

As soon as the voice fell, Ling Xi followed the voice and looked towards the door, and indeed saw a shadow coming against the light, and the afterglow gradually faded from him, revealing his true face.The person who came was none other than King Yi.
