There is white snow floating in the sky, it would be nice to watch it indoors, but if you are walking on the road and snowflakes fall on your neck or face from time to time, that feeling is really uncomfortable.

The little eunuch shrank his neck and waited for the chill on his neck to subside before he dared to stop his back. He held the fur coat in one hand and the paper umbrella in the other, covering his master's body as much as possible, while breathing heavily. stomp.

Ling Qi walked straight with a thoughtful face, but the little eunuch saw that the direction was wrong, and reminded anxiously: "My lord, the direction to Yushitai is wrong, you should go to the right..."

Ling Qi stopped, walked back silently, and walked to the right.

As soon as he stepped into Yushitai, he saw those officials shy away. Some pretended to be carrying things and walked to the other side, while others walked to the side without concealing it.

Ling Qi didn't react much, and just walked towards his place as if he didn't see it.

"My lord, these people are too much, they still came up to say hello a few days ago, but I just ignored them this time." The little eunuch said in a whimper, and glanced at the officials with some dissatisfaction.How can he say that his master is His Majesty's younger brother, the majestic Eighth Prince, those people are too majestic!

Ling Qi didn't reply to the little eunuch's words, but took out a dossier indifferently, and after a few glances, he carried the dossier and left.The little eunuch quickly caught up, and when he went out, he glared a few times at the officials who were watching.

The officials nestled aside showed concern on their faces, "Did you see what he was holding just now?"

The restless person replied impatiently: "All the files look the same, how would I know!"

"It's useless for us to follow, I just hope it won't be the same as a few days ago. If the Eighth Prince tortured those people like last time... wouldn't we have to take our money back to others?" Thinking of the hot The silver ticket was handed over and sent back, and my heart ached.

The little eunuch has followed Ling Qi on this road for the past few days, and he is already very familiar with it. It is because of this that he is so afraid now.

The instruments of torture in the dungeon were really scary. Every time he looked at them, his whole body went limp. The first time he saw the prince pick up those guys, he felt that his eyeballs were about to fall out. It was incredible, right?The gentle and taciturn prince of his family didn't greet the guy at all, and the sternness all over his body directly made people daunted, as if he had changed a different person.

"My lord, didn't you just interrogate one person yesterday?" The little eunuch said with a look of embarrassment.

"..." Flipping through the file, Ling Qi continued to walk forward.

The little eunuch had no choice but to swallow all the words, and waited for the chill to go straight up his back. When he saw the prison, the little eunuch's legs trembled uncontrollably, and it was very painful to move forward. difficulty.

"You don't need to go in." As if feeling the little eunuch's fear, Ling Qi walked in front and said.

"No." The little eunuch had tears in his eyes, showing a gesture of gratitude.

As soon as he stepped into the prison, there was a damp and stench, even the jailers who had been in the prison were not used to it, but Ling Qi walked in as if he couldn't smell it.

Seeing Ling Qi, the jailer couldn't hold back the smile that hadn't dissipated on his face, but he didn't dare to neglect, "Knowing the Eighth Prince, I don't know who the Eighth Prince is looking for today?"

Ling Qi looked at the name on the file, "Lord Li Zongyuan."

Li Zongyuan?The jailer remembered Mr. Taichang who had only come in two days ago, his face was a little ugly, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only say angrily: "Your servant will let Mr. Taichang come to see the Eighth Prince."

Ling Qi sat in the seat he was accustomed to sitting in these few days without saying a word, and kept looking at the file in his hand.

Li Zongyuan, who had not taken off his official robe but looked embarrassed, was respectfully invited out by the jailer. When Ling Qi looked over, he did not ignore the disdain and contempt left in Li Zongyuan's eyes. Down and out, but the straight waist and haughty look are much better than those who only grovel.

Ling Qi appreciates this kind of person, but it's a pity——

"Master Li, this is the first time this king sees you, I didn't expect it to be in such a situation."

"Hmph!" Li Zongyuan turned his head, ignoring Ling Qi.

Ling Qi didn't care, "Master Li, I came to ask you about something today." Opening one of the files, he asked directly without being too polite: "All the money for disaster relief last year was robbed by robbers. At that time, it seemed that you case?"

"So what? The official wrote it very clearly, and there is no whereabouts to be found."

"Really?" I didn't know when to play with a silver ingot in my hand, "This king found that silver by accident, so what should I say?"

Li Zongyuan looked over calmly, seeing Ling Qi intentionally pointing the imprint engraved on the bottom of the silver towards him, he suddenly lost his mind, but he didn't dare to show anything strange.

"Then I will ask the prince."

"En, so I went to investigate." Ling Qi stood up, and walked around Li Zongyuan with the ingot a few times, "Because I don't have enough manpower, I borrowed some from His Majesty, which is very unfortunate. I found a den of thieves. To save my life, the leader of the robber told me that the robbery last year was actually an alliance of officials and robbers, and half of the money went to the official. Mr. Li thinks that the leader of the robber said that the officials would refer to who?"

Rolling his eyes, Li Zongyuan didn't respond to Ling Qi's words, but kept thinking about how to respond.

Ling Qi stared at the dossier without even looking at Li Zongyuan, "Such a large amount cannot be eaten by one person. If we can get to know more people, the crime may be less. Don't say that this king didn't remind you, you are already dead. Carrying several crimes, if you add this one, it is estimated that your family members will be affected by you. I haven't had time to memorize the laws of the king, but in conclusion, either men are sent to the frontier or women are demoted to official prostitutes. Just right, Mr. Li's family It seems that there are two sons and one daughter? If I remember correctly..."

The involvement of his children made Li Zongyuan feel a little uneasy, "Eighth Prince, I have heard too much about your deeds in the prison these days, and I thought it was an exaggeration." Now if he doesn't say a word, he will soon Will it be the same as Master Wu who came back bloodied yesterday?And then the next day, you can see the imperial decree for disposing of him and all his family members being exiled, right?

"Master Li, you are welcome." He took out a blank sheet of paper from the file and put it in front of Li Zongyuan, "Please."

Li Zongyuan had no choice but to be ruthless and write down a few names.He was dead anyway, and he only hoped that his family could escape.

Ling Qi took the dossier in his hand and went straight to the palace, Ling Yuancheng looked at the dossier in his hand, "Ling Qi."

"Ling Qi is here."

"You did a good job in this matter, but in this way, you will offend many people in a short period of time." There was a hint of worry in his tone, but the other party was not moved.

Ling Qi replied indifferently: "After helping Brother Huang do the first thing, Ling Qi will understand."

Xiao Xizi wiped off the soup from the corner of Xia's mouth, and said to Xiao Yinzi with a long sigh: "Junzi has been sleeping for two days, do you think Junzi will wake up?"

Xiao Yinzi replied blankly: "This medicine was prescribed by Dr. Mu, what do you think? If it doesn't work for him, neither does the imperial physician."

"That's right, Doctor Mu has even cured the plague." But why hasn't the gentleman woke up yet?Seeing the faint bruises on Junzi's neck, Xiao Xizi was a little uneasy.

He could hear what the people around him said, but Xia, who was wandering in the dream, still didn't want to wake up, just because the person he was afraid of would not appear in the dream. One day is really unbearable, will he bite his own flesh directly?

In the darkness, there seemed to be a ray of light. Nan Nan stood in front of him, put the doll in her arms, and said in a childlike voice: "Brother, don't you want to sleep with it? Nan Nan has always been reluctant..." See Looking at that ugly face with a happy smile, Xia couldn't help pulling the corner of her mouth, "Nan Nan..."

"Brother, take care." The ugly face gradually became blurred, Xia looked at it in horror, and was about to pounce on it, and he did, but when he pounced on it, it was already empty, and his arms were empty. There is nothing in it.

Xiao Xizi's voice was very ear-piercing, pulling him away from the dream, "Gentleman, you're awake! Are you hungry, this slave will prepare something for you."

"..." The palm shook twice around the eye sockets, without even a shadow.He really woke up, Nannan and even the doll in his arms are gone...

Xiao Yinzi stood on the edge of the bed rationally, looking at Xia's face of loss and disappointment, his hands spread flat on the quilt, as if something was missing, and Xia shouted the word loudly when he woke up.

——Nan Nan.

It's not an unfamiliar name, Wei Yan asked him that two days ago.It's because of this person named Nan Nan... Xiao Yinzi moved his eyes to the uncovered neck.

Xiao Xizi quickly brought a bowl of hot porridge, "Gentleman, the porridge is here, I'll cool it down later."

"Where am I?" Covering his neck with his hands, the hoarse voice even made Xia feel uncomfortable.

"Gentleman, you have returned to your bedroom."

So... isn't he in His Majesty's bedroom?My heart can't help but relax.

"Gentleman, the porridge is ready to eat. Open your mouth, and the slave will serve you." Xiao Xizi scooped up a spoonful of porridge and said thoughtfully.

"En." After eating a few mouthfuls in a row, the bowl of porridge soon ended, but his hungry stomach was not full. He said with embarrassment, "Can I have another bowl?"

"Gentleman, just wait, the slave will prepare another bowl right away." Xiao Xizi happily left, leaving Xiao Yinzi to stand aside and watch quietly.

Xia was about to talk to Xiao Yinzi, when she heard the door being pushed open abruptly, her hands trembled involuntarily.Xia can guess who is coming even if he can't see it.

If he could, he would immediately cover his whole body with a quilt so that no one would notice.

"Are you awake?" Ling Yuancheng originally just came to take a look, but he didn't expect this person to wake up.There was a moment of relief in my heart, but my face quickly turned cold, "What expression do you have? Are you afraid of me?"

His chest heaved violently, "Xia...Xia dare not!" He didn't want to be locked up again, he was very cold and hungry, and the smell of flower petals was unbearable.

"Then, you should tell me now, who is Nan Nan you're talking about?" When he said the word 'Nan Nan', Ling Yuancheng's face was extremely cold, and his eyes seemed to have ice thorns, which could stab people .
