Xiao Ting sat for two hours.

The emperor came over to see the Imperial Consort Xiao after settling the matters of the court and when he saw her sitting there, he beckoned her to go out.

"Girl, why did you come here when you're not in the other courtyard?"

Xiao Ting pouted unhappily and said, "Since Aunt is so sad, Ting'er naturally wants to accompany her."

From the emperor's point of view, several years had already passed, but Xiao Ting felt that because of how much time had passed, the pain Imperial Concubine wouldn't feel any less.

Maybe even deeper.

After the Emperor entered the palace, Xiao Ting did not enter again, but grabbed the guards outside and asked.

"I heard that Tao Zhi has already been dead for many years, where is her corpse?"

Hearing that, the guard quickly replied, "The return trip to Ninth Princess was taken by him."

"Commander Xu, who is it? Where is he? "

The guard looked at her, not knowing how to explain.

Xiao Ting looked up and saw that Princess Zhao Hua had returned from her training and was looking in her direction listlessly.

Xiao Ting immediately ran over, "Zhaohua."

Princess Zhao Hua raised his head and saw that it was Xiao Ting, she immediately ran over and hugged Xiao Ting without waiting for Xiao Ting to ask, and started crying loudly.

The court ladies and eunuchs immediately retreated.

"Heavens, what happened to you?"

Xiao Ting was dumbstruck, this girl had only been separated from her for two hours, how could she be crying on her territory like this?

"Royal Grandmother scolded me, she scolded me, she never scolded me, wuu … …"

When Xiao Ting heard it, she knew that the empress dowager had done it for the sake of last night. The Zhaohua thought that she could escape this calamity, but she still ended up getting scolded.

He patted her on the back and said, "So you cried like this? If it was me, anyone who dares to scold me, I will scold them back. "

Zhaohua's crying stopped for a moment, then she sniffed and left Xiao Ting's shoulder, her eyes red as she said: "That's the Royal Grandmother, the most respected woman in the Empire, how can you scold her?"

Xiao Ting thought that it was true.

"Then, just bear it. I get scolded everyday, and if you cry like that, Ninth Prince's Estate and Xiao Mansion won't be able to drown me out."

Empress Dowager, she really didn't dare scold him back.

"That's true, but this is the first time Royal Grandmother has scolded me!" Zhaohua's interest was still not high.

Xiao Ting pulled her shoulders over, and the servant standing by her side pretended not to see it, and lowered his head to guard by the side.

"So what? She only scolded me once every time I see the empress dowager. Logically speaking, our personalities are very similar, right? The treatment is far too lacking, so I should be the one feeling wronged, right?"

"Seems so." Just like that, the naive Princess Zhao Hua was stopped by Xiao Ting, and the palace maid silently followed behind them.

One was the imperial princess, the other was her daughter-in-law. It would be weird if they were treated in the same way, and only the Princess Zhao Hua would compare them.

"Besides, this old man is old and has nothing to do throughout the day. Other than seeing which one is wrong and which one is wrong, she doesn't have anything else to do. So, when you get scolded in the future, can you ignore it?" Xiao Ting explained as she prodded Zhaohua's arm: "No matter what, you are still my, Xiao Ting's, friend. Crying in front of so many people and losing my face, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Zhaohua tilted her head and looked at her, "Then have you never cried since you were young?"

"It's a joke. Of course I've cried before."

Xiao Ting continued: "But I can only cry in sadness. I can't cry just because I can't beat him or scold him, nor can I cry in public like you."

Zhaohua turned around to look at the palace maids and said angrily: "You are all forbidden from speaking out, do you hear me?"

Everyone hurriedly agreed.

In the palace, other than a few extremely respected people, who would dare to offend her?

"Let's go, take me to someone."

Xiao Ting took Zhaohua's hand and walked forward.

After inquiring, they walked out of the palace and headed towards the Sky Prison.

The Commander Xu was actually here, and with the Zhaohua leading the way, they smoothly saw the Commander Xu.

Xiao Ting immediately revealed her identity, and looked at the corpse.

Xu Yu had a majestic figure, dressed in iron armour, with two cold sword s by his waist, he was very imposing, adding that he was not too old, he looked very heroic.

Xiao Ting walked forward as she glanced at Xu Yu, and said: "The weather is so hot, and you're still wearing so much, aren't you afraid of becoming sick?"

Xu Yu's footsteps paused, and without even looking at Xiao Ting, he continued to lead the way.

Zhaohua whispered in her ear, "Commander Xu is a very boring person, don't lower yourself to the same level as him."

Xiao Ting curled her lips, speaking as if she really wanted to speak to him.

As everyone knew, a person's corpse could only be kept for three days after death, and that was when the temperature was normal. In such a hot summer day, the corpse would rot after two days.

After taking over Tao Zhi's corpse, Xu Yu brought it to the Sky Prison, because there was someone that could protect it from rotting away. It would be helpful to him in finding out the truth.

The Celestial Prison was divided into three levels. They went to the lowest level, where there was no sunlight. It was as quiet as if there was no one there.

In reality, there were indeed not many people locked up here because it was a death sentence committed by a respected member of the Imperial Family that resulted in him being imprisoned here.

As they walked forward, the lamps along the way automatically lit up the entire passageway. Soon, they turned a corner and arrived at the place.

Xiao Ting's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she looked back.

"What's wrong?"

Zhaohua saw that she had taken a step, and asked.

"It's nothing, let's go!"

Xiao Ting had the nagging feeling that something was looking at her, but when she turned around, he couldn't find it.

Tao Zhi's corpse was placed within a bizarre ice coffin. No one knew what it was made of, but it was completely ice-cold and covered with runes.

"Here it is."

Xu raised his hand and ushered them into the cell.

The ice coffin was placed at the bottom of the cell. There was a pond there, where the ice coffin was suspended in the air.

The Zhaohua was not interested in this, she had only followed them here out of curiosity.

But when Xiao Ting saw what was happening, she pushed the Zhaohua aside and immediately rushed over. With just a glance, she glared at him, "Who did this?"

Zhaohua staggered and almost fell, just as she was about to say Xiao Ting, she saw her expression.

"Ting'er, what's wrong?"

After Xiao Ting asked this, without saying anything further, she began to tear apart the runes on the ice coffin, while muttering some words.

"Swish!"

Xu Yu pulled out the sword and placed it horizontally between the ice coffin and Xiao Ting's palm, almost hitting her finger, and Xiao Ting subconsciously retracted her hand.

"What are you doing?" "Get out of the way, let me see."

Xiao Ting coldly snorted, and went forward to push Xu Xu.

Xu Yu snorted, he stood firmly and said: "I still want to ask Ninth Princess, what do you want to do?"

Then, he looked towards the Zhaohua and said: "Your Highness, if you want to see, this general has already allowed it.

Xu Yu forced Xiao Ting to retreat, then the cold sword returned to its scabbard. After that, he cupped his hands and said: "This humble one still has important matters to attend to, forgive me for not accompanying you."

Although the Zhaohua was lawless in the palace, she was still a little afraid of the Guard Commander. This man did things in a neat way, not paying anyone's bills, and it was also because she was doing things in such a way that her father trusted him.

Zhaohua stepped forward and pulled Xiao Ting, "Ting'er, let's go!"

But who would have thought that Xiao Ting, who normally would have been laughing and laughing, would now have a calm expression. She looked at her very seriously and said: "Zhaohua, wait."

She pushed away Princess Zhao Hua's arm and looked at Xu Yu: "Do you think I is messing around?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not, this girl is related to Imperial Concubine. I also wants to investigate the case, and I will ask you first, who told you to bring this corpse here?"

Xiao Ting was serious at the moment.

"Do you know what happens when you lie in this ice coffin?"

"Ting'er, what are you saying?" The Zhaohua was confused. In her opinion, the ice coffin was just looking at them weirdly.

Xiao Ting did not bother with the Zhaohua, but continued to look at Xu Yu and said: "In three days, the human soul will be suppressed and will never be reincarnated again."

Xu Yu stood there holding his sword, his eyes firm, and said: "So what?"

Obviously, he didn't believe this.

Xiao Ting almost died from anger, she really wanted to rush up and beat him into a pig head.

However, looking at the cold cold sword in front of her, she gave up on the idea that it was equivalent to committing suicide.

"Erm, this woman has been dead for many years, aren't you curious as to why her corpse was preserved so well?" Xiao Ting tried her best to calmly explain to him, hoping that she could get a better understanding of human nature.

However, Xu Yu still had a businesslike expression on his face, "This is my business, please leave."

Hehe, this is too impolite.

"If the I doesn't leave, what can you do to me?" If the hard one didn't work, then the soft one would. If the soft one didn't eat, then that was shameless.

However, Xiao Ting had still underestimated the cold faced Commander Xu.

Xu Yu immediately waved his sword, if not for Xiao Ting's quick reaction, he would have been directly struck by the cold sword.

"You madman." Xiao Ting was truly shocked, while Zhaohua pulled Xiao Ting and turned to leave.

"Just you wait, I will definitely return."

Before he left, Xiao Ting had said those words.

"I will wait for Ninth Princess." The other party showed no signs of backing down.

After exiting the Sky Prison, Xiao Ting still had not calmed down. Looking at her own hands, she scolded, "Who exactly is this person? Is she usually this arrogant? "

The original owner was only slightly more domineering outside the palace, but he rarely went to the palace. Other than seeing the Imperial Consort Xiao, it was not common for him to see that.

As a result, he was not clear about the people and matters of the palace, much less concerned.

The days she wanted were her own!

But Xiao Ting was different. She was not as heartless as the original owner.

Thus, she was determined to get involved with the matters of the Imperial Consort Xiao.

"Xu Yu is the young grandson of the Elder Xu, twenty years old, an upright and talented warrior, awarded the title of champion five years ago, and last year he became the commander of the imperial guards. Father trusted him greatly and ordered him to do what he was ordered to do, and Mother said that he is royal father's Ming Wei."

"F * ck, so cool. No wonder you're so cocky, daring to fight against me." Xiao Ting thought.

The Zhaohua advised, "Royal father won't agree to allow you to participate in the investigation, so just give up on this idea!"

Along the way, Xiao Ting had already told the Zhaohua her plans.

"I will definitely think of a way to get the Emperor to agree."
