"Why would the Prince want to send his concubine to her death?"

Xiao Yi Xiu laughed coldly, "Cheng Ying Zhi, do you really think you are the wife of the Mo King's Manor? This King wants to put you to death. Just how high is your status that you need This King to personally act? "

"Then …"

"This King only wanted you to go to jail. I didn't want you to die just because Teacher Hui happened to testify against you. If this king truly wants to put you to death, how can a trick like changing prisoners on the execution ground save you? "

Seeing his cold smile, Cheng Yingzhi felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse. She felt a chill run down her spine. Both of her hands supported the edge of the bed as she tightly gripped the soft satin mattress.

"Clever …" Did you kill him? "

"You ordered her to cut the Second Prince's rope and cause his wife to miscarry. Do you think she still has a chance of survival?"

"Then... "Then I …" He really knew everything! Even the matter of her ordering Hui Qiao to impersonate Jin Shu and cause Gu Lengfei's miscarriage didn't escape his eyes!

It turned out that Cheng Ying's teeth were fighting because he hated her to the bones because of the concubine's miscarriage. No matter how miserable she was, it wasn't an injustice for her to be beaten up.

"But you can live. If you listen to me obediently, you might not be able to become Huan Yijin's main wife. However, you can live with honor and reason. You don't have to hide in the cellar and smell the stench of mildew. "

Cheng Ying Zhi no longer dared to believe his words. These princes, who could be trusted? Xiao Yijin was like that, and Xiao Yixiu was the same.

However, at this point, she realized that she had no other choice. Even if he had given her outrageous conditions, she had to agree to it.

It wasn't until Xiao Yi Xiu had left that Cheng Yingzhi finally raised her head and glared at him, "My prince, I have a question for you. Can you answer it truthfully?"

"Go ahead."

"I instructed Hui Qiao to impersonate Jin Shu, causing Gu Luan Fei to miscarry. Did you know about this beforehand?"

Xiao Yi Xiu seemed to be surprised by her question. He looked at her silently and nodded his head.

"You … You are really cruel, even your own … "Children, all …"

Xiao Yixiu smiled faintly. There was no need to explain things like this to her. After all, it was not appropriate for a woman like her to know too much.

"This King will tell you one last thing. The more you know, the less safe it is." "Since you still want to live, you can just be a fool." He turned around leisurely and walked out of the cellar, his clothes fluttering in the wind. He looked so ethereal that it was hard to imagine the cold, estranged look in his eyes.

Cheng Yingzhi laid on the bed, feeling a chill in her heart.

This man was too terrifying. If he had known that this day would come, he wouldn't have fooled Xiao Yi Jin.

All the clues that Zhang Rui had found in the justice courts had been piled up in front of him, causing him to have no choice but to believe the truth — Yan King Xiao Yijin had bribed a jailer to replace Cheng Yizhi in order to excuse his wife, Cheng Ying.

In fact, this was no surprise. Cheng Liao's status in the imperial camp was not low, and in order to win over him, Xiao Yijin's plan was reasonable. As far as the status of the Yan Emperor was concerned, even if he were to poke a hole in the emperor's path, he would at most be reprimanded.

However, this woman was the wife of the Mo King's Manor. This was a huge problem.

What King Mo actually thought, whether he wanted her dead or alive, became the crux of the matter.

If he offended King Mo, then it would be a matter of no end for both sides. Zhang Rui paced back and forth anxiously like an ant on a hot pan.

General Wu Changqing had walked to his side at some point, and stood quietly by his side.

Zhang Rui spun around like a headless fly. Just as he was about to run into him, he suddenly raised his head and shouted in anger, "Why are you standing here like a wandering soul? "You gave me a fright!"

The expression on Wu Changqing's face was somewhat stiff, but his gaze was heavy with deep meaning: "This lowly one only wishes to help sire share his burdens."

"You? What can you do for this official? " Zhang Rui sneered. Wu Changqing could not be considered his right-hand man, and his conduct was nothing special, so he did not really like him.

It was just that Wu Changqing's only daughter, Wu Yu, had become the Lady Mo Wang. Zhang Rui had recently given him a lot of good looks and tried to rope him in, allowing him to follow him around often. Now that Wu Yu had gone crazy and something had happened to the Mo King Manor, Zhang Rui was no longer interested in showing good will. Naturally, his cold face returned.

"Great Elder, Prince Mo and Prince Li have ordered you to investigate this case as soon as possible. You must be worried about this matter right now. If the matter regarding King Yan's rescue is exposed, it would be no different from playing around with your head — That is a prince, even if he is at fault, he will not die. One day, he will seek revenge, have you thought of the consequences? "

"Nonsense!"

"However, if you were to continue hiding this matter, you would not know how much King Mo and Prince Li knew about it. That day, they seemed to have noticed and went to the execution grounds at the same time. Forget about the King of Mo, the Prince is the number one powerful official in the imperial court, the younger brother of the Emperor.

Zhang Rui suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. He patted his shoulder and sighed. Just as he was about to complain, he suddenly remembered that he was still half a father-in-law of King Mo. No matter what, he couldn't speak nonsense in front of him.

His face darkened as he said, "Are you here to spy on me?"

Wu Changqing smiled, although his smile was still gloomy, but it was the first time since he went mad that he showed some benevolence.

"I dare not do so, I am thinking, there is only one way to prove that there is another secret in Lady Cheng's case. "Because the Yan King suspected that there was something fishy, he did not want his subordinate's daughter to die in grievance, so he tried to save her."

"You do know how to think! Such bizarre words can still be said! "

But Wu Changqing said, "Do I really have to say bizarre things? Lord, please think about it carefully. What is the probability of this happening? As a girl from a pavilion, even if she was jealous, how could she have such meticulous plans for openly killing people in the Residence of Mo? It was one thing to be jealous of someone, but why did he have to go through so much trouble to kill Ming Zhu instead of Lady Wu? Do you really believe the words that you said you were afraid to offend the Cheng family? "

"Go on." Zhang Rui was already beginning to be interested.

That's just an excuse to cover it up." It was unreliable to use pearls to intimidate Lady Wu, not to mention meticulous planning. "If she wasn't crazy and had fallen into a murder case, how could she not have done so thoroughly and killed Lady Wu?

"Yes!" Zhang Rui now felt more and more justified.

"Someone killed Ming Zhu and wanted to frame Lady Cheng, which was why Hui Qiao was ordered to give a false statement. "After all, Hui Qiao has been serving Lady Cheng since childhood. If she were to testify, Lady Cheng's chances of being found guilty are greater …"

"You mean, who wants Lady Cheng to die?"

"I'm afraid that this matter is related to the miscarriage of the second prince's consort!"
