I was stunned for a moment.

Although he was planning to ask him to transfer people from the barracks, he didn't expect that he was ready.

only--

I looked at the young men, and they all looked familiar at that time, but I didn't see Gu Ping.

I said, "But, I want Ping'er to come here."

Butu said: "I originally planned that way, but Gu Ping had something else to do, and he couldn't transfer it to him. However, he knew that the wife needed people, and these people were all selected by him for the wife himself."

He glanced at me and said, "Madam, I can definitely trust you."

I frowned slightly and didn't say anything. Instead, I turned to look at the young men. They all bowed to each other. One of them took a step forward and spoke loudly, as if a thunderbolt from the sky was knocked down: "Madam, don't worry, we will definitely protect this place!"

It was then that I remembered that the few of them, the young men who often came to help me with Gu Ping when I was in Jixiang Village. Speaking of which, they had a life-long friendship with Ping'er. Among them, the one who stood up and spoke was Cao Hu, and I was not unfamiliar with him. He was a honest and honest person.

I also know them well and know them well. If I really want to transfer people to come, it seems that they are the most suitable.

But Gu Ping is not among them.

I originally thought of taking this opportunity to talk to him, since he had something else to do, I could only give up for the time being.

So, I said to Cao Hu and the soldiers behind him: "Since that's the case, thank you for your hard work these days."

They clasped their fists and said, "Mrs.

After saying that, Cao Hu said again: "Madam, we are divided into three shifts, each shift is four hours long. Madam is on Mao every day, and we will be there on call. If there is any mistake, Cao will come to see you."

I nodded and said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't dare."

After saying that, they turned around and went out.

I looked at the button again. The deep-silhouetted face frowned slightly, as if thinking about something. When I saw me staring at him, I hurriedly came back to my senses and said to me: "Mrs. Do you have any instructions?"

I looked at him for a while, then shook my head: "No more."

"Then let me take my leave."

I nodded.

But, just as he turned around and walked to the door and was about to go out, I suddenly thought of something and hurriedly called him: "Wait a minute."

Butu turned around and looked at me: "What else does Madam have to do?"

I asked, "Is there any news about the murder of the eldest princess?"

Butu immediately shook his head and said, "There is no news from the government office."

I frowned slightly.

He also said: "The Red Boat is still on the river and has been blocked. It is said that the emperor is going to personally try the case. The princes, princes and ministers who had come to participate in the wedding ceremony of the eldest princess are now temporarily staying in the prefecture and in the post station, and have not left Yangzhou."

"Yeah?"

Butu said: "At present, I only know these situations."

I nodded: "Okay, if there is any new progress in this matter, you must tell me immediately."

"yes."

When Bu Tu left, Susu took Xiao Ni and Xixi down to get to know some other facilities in the inner courtyard. I took Miaoyan to sit by the bed. The wind blew into the room with the wetness of dew from among the bamboo leaves, which seemed to make her less uncomfortable, and I kept gently swaying her.

Looking at the shaking flowers and leaves on the silk fan, my thoughts became a little confused.

Looking back on what happened last night, it was like an overly chaotic nightmare. Until now, I still feel a little unbelievable that Pei Yuanzhen has been killed and died.

Who killed her?

I absolutely don't believe it was Liu Qinghan. No matter what other reasons or how many forces are fighting each other, I believe that his character is, even if he has lost his memory, even if he has been in the officialdom for many years and is familiar with the intrigue methods in the officialdom, he is no longer the optimistic and generous Liu Saner who lived in a peaceful and optimistic life in the fishing village.

I still believe in him.

But, I don't understand why he pleaded guilty.

If he wanted to punish me, although at that time, Han Ruoshi was aggressive and led all kinds of suspicions to me, almost really forced me to a dead end, even so, I was still fully capable of protecting myself, especially the injuries on my shoulders and the problems of Qingyun Embroidery House can completely eliminate my suspicion.

Why did he still plead guilty?

What was he thinking in his heart?

The murder of the eldest princess is a big deal. It is not the emperor's favor that can be relieved. Besides, Liu Qinghan pleaded guilty in front of all the princes and princes. How many of them are dissatisfied with the new policy and hated him, and wished he could kill him quickly. He openly confessed his guilt like this, as Pei Yuanhao said, it is harder to redeem confession than to reach the sky!

Thinking of this, I felt a cramp in my heart, as if there was a fire burning in my heart and tormenting my soul.

Although he had long forgotten our past events; although he met again, his admiration was only here; although he had married Pei Yuanzhen, no matter what, I could not sit idly by and watch him fall into such a desperate situation, and even more rudely, if this case really confirms his crime, he might-

No, absolutely not!

I clenched my teeth hard.

In the next few days, Lao Yao would come to the inner courtyard to give acupuncture to Miaoyan every day, but Miaoyan's condition did not improve. She was still like a soulless and beautiful porcelain doll. Although she was carefully taken care of every day, she spent every day ignorantly.

There is also Yangzhou where there is no news.

Every day I would ask Pei Yuanxiu about the progress of that case, but every day, the answer I got was - no.

Since Liu Qinghan was taken to the prison in Yangzhou, there has been no news, no inquiries, no trials, and the emperor did not even allow anyone to visit. However, he heard that the emperor's study had written notes that demanded severe punishment of the murderer had been piled up.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Gongsun Qi, Yuan Mingde, and Lin Sheng, the prince of the Lin clan in Yunzhong, led by them, and almost all the kings, princes, princes, and ministers from all over the country participated in this matter.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's new policy was planned after Fu Badai entered the court from Xichuan. However, many times, Fu Badai was just an old man hidden behind the scenes. Such a blind old man would not arouse too much hostility. However, Liu Qinghan was different. He was promoted too quickly in the court and made too many enemies. He was the most active in implementing the new policy and implemented the reform measures in Yangzhou. If he died, the new forces in the court who supported the new policy and promoted the previous imperial examinations would have no leader. In this way, the process of the new policy would be slowed down by at least half.

Things have far exceeded the murder case as simple as this.

The question is, can Pei Yuanhao withstand the pressure from his ministers?

What is his attitude towards Liu Qinghan?

I never doubt his appreciation for Liu Qinghan. This is not just about love between men and women. Otherwise, he would have been like killing an ant. He could kill Liu Qinghan in Jixiang Village. As an emperor, his eyes on people are far more limited to these small loves, but after all, he has to face so many princes, princes and nobles, the pressure of powerful gentry everywhere, and the law is ruthless. Liu Qinghan confessed his guilt in court like this. If the emperor himself wanted to redeem him, it would be difficult to block the dignity of the court and the royal family.

This is almost a dead end.

I don’t know how Liu Qinghan can survive in this situation?

On the fifth night, Pei Yuanxiu stayed in the study room for a whole day. He heard that even lunch was eaten in the study room, so he returned to the inner courtyard to rest in the evening.

He went to Miaoyan's room to look at her, and then walked back. When I saw that he was sweating profusely, I asked Xiao Ni to bring him warm water. He asked while washing his face, "Old Yao has come here to see him today. Have you said anything?"

I shook my head.

He heard this, sighed lightly, and said, "Don't hurry, take your time."

I nodded.

After washing the face, people will feel more comfortable. Xixi brought us two bowls of iced tremella soup. After eating, people will feel cooler. He asked again: "Do you use these two girls easily?"

"fine."

"Fortunately Susu is back."

"Yes." I said lightly: "Luckily she is back."

He looked up at me.

Although Xiao Ni and Xixi were not very smart, everyone knew that it was time to avoid it at this time, so they hurriedly retreated. When Xiao Ni was about to go out, she closed the door. The last ray of wind blew into the room, shaking the candlesticks on the table and the bedside. Under the swaying candlelight, his eyes seemed a little dull, and there seemed to be a lot of things to say, all of which were flashing with the candlelight.

I looked at him, too.

However, after looking at each other quietly for a long time, he didn't say anything after all. He just sighed softly, as if to himself and me, murmured in a low voice: "Let's talk about it in the future."

I glanced at him and didn't say much.

At night, the two of them were lying side by side on the bed, and there was no wind on the summer night. I looked at the quiet tent above my head. The millions of thin silks seemed to be woven in twists and turns, almost swallowing me.

I slowly closed my eyes.

At this moment, the man who had been lying quietly beside him suddenly spoke. In the dark and quiet night, his low voice seemed a little strange, even a little strange-

"Qingying."

"……Um?"
