Empress is a sick beauty

Yun Yi walked up to the man and looked down at him, "Don't insult. It's an insult to a good citizen."

During the conversation, the guard brought the hemp rope, like Tu.A man is tied up like a pig in a slaughterhouse.

The head of the guard stood beside Yunyi and said loudly, "This man Zhao Liang, the servant of the Yang family, is actually the illegitimate son of the master of the Yang family. Because he harbored resentment towards Master Yang and Mr. Yang, he colluded with the bandits to kill everyone in the Yang family. Inherit the property of the Yang family, hire someone to give false testimony, and blame Zhou Yu."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.Since the incident, there have been countless rumors and speculations, but no one thought that there was an illegitimate child among them.

The man struggled violently, "What evidence do you have! Do you rely on your mouth to spread rumors!"

The head guard picked him up with one hand and threw him to the guards behind him, "All the false witnesses you hired have confessed. If you have anything to say, tell the yamen and take him away!"

The guards surrounded the teahouse just to arrest people. Now that they were caught, they naturally withdrew from the teahouse.Yun Yi looked up to the private room on the second floor, just in time to see Ling Xi looking down.

He had just seen Shen's carriage at the entrance of the teahouse, and he had some calculations in his mind, he thought that Shen Rui was here to invite someone to discuss business, but he didn't want Ling Xi to be here too.

After a turmoil, the singing girl came back to the stage with a pipa in her arms, and the teahouse was once again surrounded by the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras.The tea guests recovered from their fright, sipped tea and listened to music as usual, and talked about the incident just now.

Ling Xi watched from above, seeing the guards leave, but Yun Yi went upstairs alone.

Sure enough, after a while, Yun Yi entered the private room under Xiao Er's guidance.

Ling Xi: "Your Highness."

Yun Yi nodded slightly, and it was the same for Shen Rui.

"Your Highness, sit down quickly. I just met a business partner, and I just went to say hello to him. Let's talk first." After finishing speaking, Shen Rui opened the bead curtain and went out.

Looking at each other, Yun Yi lost the posture he had when he was arresting the prisoner just now, and he deliberately lowered his tone, "I disturbed Mr. Ling's elegance." If he knew that Ling Xi came to the teahouse today, he would have delayed the date of arrest. .

"Your Highness is doing business, so why bother." Ling Xi motioned him to take a seat, "I don't know how the witness suddenly confessed?"

Yun Yi sat in Shen Rui's seat just now, and met Shang Ling Xi's curious gaze, feeling inexplicably guilty, "Maybe he found out with his conscience, and he told the truth." It was just some necessary interrogation methods, and there was no need to let the people in front of him know .

As soon as Ling Xi heard what he said, she knew that she was trying to trick a three-year-old child, so she didn't bother with him.

"How is Miss Zhou?"

Yunyi has never thought of himself as a good person, but he believes that he must do what he says and do what he says, especially what he promised Ling Xi, he will definitely do it.

"When the case is over, I will order someone to settle her properly. She has no relatives and no place to live, so I will buy her a small house and give her some silver. If necessary, I will introduce her to an errand or set up a shop. Make a living later."

Ling Xi smiled and said, "His Royal Highness has really thoughtful arrangements." He paused, his eyes flashed, "Is the storyteller arranged by His Highness?"

Coinciding with the Yang family's extermination, others discussed it in private, and no storyteller dared to mention it on stage.One can imagine who gave him the courage.

Yun Yi was not surprised that Ling Xi would guess it, and admitted generously, "Yes, it was specially arranged to lure him out."

Let Zhao Liang relax his vigilance first, and then lure him to show up with topics he is interested in.The most dangerous place is the safest place. Zhao Liang thought he knew this well, but he couldn't help but think that the people who wanted to catch him were better than him.

Ling Xi ordered Xiaoer to buy a new teacup and make another pot of good tea. When the tea was served, he first poured a cup for Yun Yi, "Please, Your Highness."

Yun Yi took the tea cup obediently, "Are you here to listen to the book?"

Ling Xi looked up at Yunyi, "Yes, I heard that this storyteller is very popular, so I wanted to come and have a look. The book is good, but I have never heard of the treasure map of the Yang family before. How did this storyteller know about it?"

"I told him."

Ling Xi didn't expect the other party's answer to be so direct, and thought that he would talk about his fooling around.

"Your Highness came to Yangzhou this time to find the treasure map?"

Since he knew Yunyi's identity, he guessed that he must have come to Yangzhou for some important business. Now that he thinks about it, it is probably because of the treasure map.Yun Yi knew that the treasure map was in the Yang family, but she was one step behind when others knew it, and was caught first.

From martial arts sects to royal courtiers, everyone is eyeing the treasure map.Countless people have suffered misfortunes because of this opportunity to be so wealthy.But no matter how he looked at it, Yunyi didn't seem like someone who was mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people for money, and I'm afraid there was something hidden in it.

Yun Yi put down the teacup and met his probing eyes, "What if I say yes?"

Seeing that the person opposite did not want to bring up the real reason, Ling Xi stopped asking.As a friend, you are good at listening. If a friend has difficulties and does not want to say it, then wait until he wants to say it before mentioning it.

He touched the teacup in Yun Yi's hand with his own cup, "I wish Your Highness all the best."

Yun Yi looked away, picked up the cup again and took a big sip.He could have told the truth, but he didn't want to involve Ling Xi.He can also deny it flatly, but there is a voice in his heart that keeps clamoring, what will happen if Ling Xi knows the real him, and in the end, reason will prevail.

He thought that he would never find his old friend again, but he never thought that one day he would meet an old friend in a foreign country.How could he have the heart to take risks with this man?

After the teahouse parted, Ling Xi could always hear new developments about the case of exterminating the family in the Yang family from Ah Jiu.Interrogation in court, evidence and conviction, everything is logical.And Miss Zhou Yu was placed in a house as Yun Yi said, and she made a living by running a rouge shop.

Ling Xi occasionally recalled the way Yun Yi looked at her in the teahouse that day. The other party seemed to have a lot to say, but they didn't mention anything else except the case.

There was the sound of sword playing in the yard, and it was neat and orderly.When the guards saw Ling Xi come out, they practiced even harder, so that they were all sweating, but kept waving their long swords.

Ling Xi watched them practice swords, and inexplicably remembered the moves that Yunyi used in the room before.

If my body is as usual, I can't help but want to compete with him, but it's a pity that I can only feast my eyes now.

"My lord, it's windy, let's go back to the room." Xiao Zhong reminded from behind.

In short, his body has improved a lot compared to the first two years, at least he can go out and watch the guards practice swords.In those days when I was lying in bed, it was a blessing to hear a sound.

Ling Xi returned to the room, just grabbed a pen to write a few words, and then there were footsteps outside the door.The strange thing is that the footsteps did not face the door, but stopped at the window.

"Young Master Ling."

Ling Xi was slightly taken aback when he heard the sound, and then walked to the window, "Your Highness?"

"it's me."

Why doesn't this person like to walk through the front door, but only has a soft spot for windows?

"Why don't you come in, Your Highness?"

The people outside the window were silent for a moment, "I'm here to say goodbye to Mr. Ling."

"Your Highness is going back to the capital?"

Ling Xi suddenly remembered that the person outside the window was the royal family after all, he came here for a purpose, and one day he would go back.It's just that I have just recovered from a serious illness, and I finally made a friend, and now I have to separate the two places again, and I suddenly feel a little sad.

"Yes, we will leave in two days."

"So urgent?" Ling Xi thought that choosing a day would be better than bumping into the sun. Since Yun Yi came to say goodbye to him, why not do it for him today, "Your Highness might as well stay in Shen's residence for dinner."

"No, I have other matters. I came today to talk to Mr. Ling. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely invite Mr. Ling to be a guest in Beijing."

I don't even have time to practice, I think it's urgent.

"That's a deal."

After sinking, there was an echo from outside the window, "So, there will be a period later."

The footsteps gradually faded away, Ling Xi pushed open the window, and only had time to see the back of the man before he left the hospital.

Back at the magistrate's yamen, Yun Yi went directly to the cell with a group of guards.The iron chain was taken off by the cell boss, and Yun Yi walked in slowly, and a pungent stench came over his face.

A man was tied to the rack, his head drooping, and no part of his body was intact.

The head guard put away his iron whip, nodded and said, "Your Highness."

Yun Yi didn't even look at the man on the rack, "Did you ask?"

"The treasure map has been taken away by bandits, and the whereabouts of that group are unknown."

Yun Yiyuan didn't expect Zhao Liang, an idiot, to know the whereabouts of those people, but he wanted to reconfirm that the treasure map had indeed been taken away.

"Tell Xu Zhifu that this person is useless, let him find time to deal with it." After saying that, Yun Yi turned around and left.

The head of the guard followed closely behind. He had been by Yunyi's side for many years. Although he could not know what was in his heart, he could still guess whether his highness was happy or not.

For example, every time His Highness sees Young Master Ling, his whole body is peaceful and serene, but right now, his aura is cold. Apart from the fact that the treasure map was taken first, he boldly guesses that he should be inseparable from Young Master Ling. relation.

"Your Highness, if you are reluctant to part with Mr. Ling, you can take him back to Beijing. There are many places in our palace, so can't we keep Mr. Ling as a guest?" The head guard said while watching his words, this was the first time he said that he was overstepping If so, the reason why he can be so bold is also because in the days when Mr. Ling was around, His Royal Highness seemed to have a lot of humanity.

Yun Yi suddenly stopped, but she didn't mean to blame, and whispered to herself, "It's not the time yet."
