"Your Majesty, do you want to arrest those people and torture them for interrogation?" As soon as Xiao Zhengzi finished speaking, he was stared at by Hongli, "I am in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, not the Ministry of Punishment, let alone the Shuntian Mansion. There is no basis for this.
Just arresting people, isn't that deliberately giving evidence to Hongshi and others?"
"Your Majesty, calm down." Xiao Zhengzi apologized quickly. After Hongli's anger subsided, he said carefully: "Your Majesty, I also asked about something. Is it related to this test question?"
"Say." Hongli took a sip of the tea that had not been poured out next to him. Because of the coldness of the tea, the original slight bitterness was magnified many times, making him frown unconsciously.
Little Zhengzi lowered his head and said: "A few days ago, the second elder brother took a person to the Duke's Mansion, and he never came out again. After many inquiries, I learned that he was under house arrest in the Duke's Mansion, except every day.
No one is allowed to approach except when delivering food."
Hongli asked strangely: "What are Yingge and Hongshi doing under house arrest when they have nothing to do?"
"This servant doesn't know. As for the things just now, the servant asked someone to disguise himself as a food delivery person and only found out about it. Judging from the appearance of the British Duke, he should be quite concerned about him."
Xiao Zhengzi's words made Hongli think deeply. No matter Yingge or Hongshi, these two people would not do useless things. There was their intention behind every move, and this time was no exception. After all...
Who is they putting under house arrest, and why do they put him under house arrest?
Just when Hongli wanted to ask Xiao Zhengzi to send someone to sneak in to inquire, he suddenly remembered what Ling Ruo said. She said that there might be skilled craftsmen in the world who could open the secret edict without destroying the fire seal. Is it possible?
...Is this this person?
The more Hongli thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility. He wished he could see that person right away, but right now this person was under house arrest in Yingge's house. He couldn't see him at all, and he couldn't force his way in. What should he do?
No, there is someone you can meet!
Hongli's eyes lit up and he walked out quickly. Xiao Zhengzi quickly followed him. When he stopped, he was full of surprise, because this was the courtyard where Nala Xianyue lived. What was the prince doing here? Before.
The prince dislikes coming here the most.
Nala Xianyue was just as surprised as him. It took a while before she came back to her senses, "Your Highness is here, but are you planning to let me go?"
"I have something for you to help me with." Faced with Hongli's words, Xia Yue raised her eyebrows and asked, "What does the prince want from me?"
"I will expel you from the palace on the grounds that I cannot tolerate you in the palace. You should take this opportunity to return to the Duke's palace and find someone to replace me." Seeing him stop talking, Xianyue asked: "
Who is it?"
"You understand what Yingge and Hongshi are doing. I don't need to say it again. I suspect that they have found a great craftsman who can open the secret edict and see inside without destroying the fire seal.
According to what Xiao Zhengzi has learned, this person should be under house arrest in the Duke's Mansion. You go back to find him and bring him out."
Xianyue's eyes flickered, not knowing what she was thinking. She stared for a long time and said, "In other words, do you want me to betray Ama?"
Hongli looked at her calmly, "From the moment you told me that besides Yingge and Hongshi, you have betrayed me. Of course, you can also choose not to agree. Then you and I have said before
Everything will have no meaning of existence. I will not regard you as Fujin, I will only regard you as Yingge's comrade."
Xianyue nodded noncommittally. Now she had no way out. She could only fight desperately for herself and the future. I hope she didn't make a mistake.
"So you agreed?" As soon as Hongli finished speaking, Xianyue grabbed his hand and threw it hard on her face, then showed a smile, "With this look, Amma should believe it more. But...
Aren't you afraid that I will regret it later? In that case, you may lose this round."
"I will still win, the difference is just sooner or later, but you will lose everything." Her determination and ruthlessness made Hongli couldn't help but think of the Nala clan and Xianyue who had been fighting with E Niang for a lifetime... It's really
Very much like her aunt.
Xianyue smiled and said nothing. For some reason, at that moment, Hongli felt that her smile was a little sad. He secretly took a breath, threw away his inappropriate thoughts, and ordered Xiao Zhengzi to bring Xianyue and Aluo
Since it was just a show to drive out of the palace, we should do it in a decent manner so as not to be spotted by Yingge.
When Xianyue appeared in front of Yingge, the latter was very surprised, "Why are you here? Aren't you being imprisoned in the courtyard by Si Age?"
Xianyue sniffed and said: "That was originally the case, but for some reason, Hongli changed his mind again. He felt that his daughter staying in the house was an embarrassment to him, so he slapped his daughter without saying anything, and also divorced her with her.
A Luo was kicked out of the house, and my daughter had nowhere to go, so she had no choice but to come to Amma."
"This fourth elder brother actually treats you like this. It seems that he doesn't take the Queen and me seriously at all." In Yingge's view, Hongli's move was simply to embarrass himself, and he snorted: "I
Let’s see how long he can be proud of himself.”
Xianyue took the opportunity to say: "Hongli has always disliked his daughter. Naturally, he will make as much trouble as possible. You can't ignore your daughter's condition now."
Yingge's eyes flashed and he said: "Why wouldn't Ama ignore you? Ama will have your room cleaned right now, and you can just take A Luo to live in it. But Ama won't just let this matter go."
That’s right, I’ll ask the emperor to seek justice for you tomorrow.”
Xianyue nodded and said, "Then my daughter will go see her grandfather first."
"Go." Yingge nodded. He was also worried about a lot of things and had no time to pay attention to Xianyue's affairs. Little did he know that his daughter's thoughts were not what he knew.
When they got to the backyard, Xianyue went to see Fei Yanggu first, and then found a servant who used to serve her in the mansion, and asked about the recent situation in the mansion.
I dared to hide everything, and told everything, including the fact that there was an extra person in the house recently, but I didn’t know his name, only that his surname was Pan.
After the man walked away, Aluo said softly: "Gege, it seems that that is the person the prince asked you to find."
Xianyue made a silent gesture towards him, and then took A Luo to the place where Pan was imprisoned. Not only was the door locked, but there was someone guarding the outside. When that person saw Xiayue coming, he bowed and called
Say "Gege".
Xianyue also knows this person, his name is Xiaoliuzi, "What are you doing here? Who lives in there? You have to guard it like this."
"If I return to Gege, my servant won't know, but the master has ordered that this person must be kept under guard and there must be no mistakes."
