Prince, the princess calls you to dream

Downstairs, Bai Jiuxiao ordered Tongquan: "Let all the guests go out, and ask our people to come in and search!"

"Yes!" Tong Quan took the order.

"Everyone, the teahouse is in a hurry today, and it will be closed for a day, please move around, everyone, come back tomorrow!" Tong Quan cleared the room loudly.

Seeing this, Zisu panicked. Seeing Quge coming down the stairs, she hurriedly greeted her, "Miss, what's going on?"

Qu Ge glanced at her, a little displeased with her panic, and said coldly: "Who knows! In Da Zhao, the Ninth Prince is the sky, he says wind, it is wind, he says rain, it is rain, he wants us to drive If the customer goes out of business, how can we ordinary people not follow?"

For the latter words, she deliberately turned up the volume a few points, and said it to Bai Jiuxiao, and also to the dissatisfied guests who were kicked out.

When the guests heard the words, they talked a lot.

Bai Jiuxiao didn't look at her at all.

When the guests cleared out, only Qu Ge and a few female buddies were left.

The girls all stood together, startled, astonished and flustered, and everyone was in danger.

Tongquan went out and summoned a dozen or so guards who had already prepared to come in, and began to search.

Ning Shiqian also went downstairs.

Qu Ge suddenly thought of something: "Wait a minute, don't scare my rat marten."

After speaking, he quickly went to the back of the piano platform in front of him, and carried out a pure white mouse-like mink animal that was kept in the cage.

A small ball, not obedient, jumped from Quge's arms to the ground, ran very fast, ran to Zisu's feet, and then ran to Bai Jiuxiao's feet.

Bai Jiuxiao looked down, the little thing spared Ning Shiqian, and ran to another female assistant's feet.

Quge called it: "Xiaobai, come back!"

The little thing turned around when he heard the call, and Qu Ge stretched out his arms towards her: "Come here!"

The little thing seemed to understand human speech, and ran towards her, rubbing the tip of her shoe next to her feet.

Qu Ge leaned over to hug it up, her eyes darkened slightly.

The government guards are still intensively searching every private room and every corner.

Bai Jiuxiao had no expression on his face. He stood there watching for a while, then picked up his steps and walked towards the backyard.

At the same time, he ordered Tongquan: "Check the backs of all the paintings, in case there are dark walls or secret rooms."

"Yes!" Tong Quan took the order.

Zisu and Quge looked at each other, and her face turned even paler.

The two followed Bai Jiuxiao together.

Ning Shiqian then went to the backyard.

Bai Jiuxiao came to the backyard, looked around, and looked down from the top of the tree to the small garden below.

His eyes paused slightly on a piece of lawn.

She walked over, bowed and pulled the grass embryo, and picked up a large piece of grass embryo with ease.

His eyes narrowed.

really!

The grass embryo is fake, it is just covered on top, and the bottom is new soil.

When she turned her head, she saw the panic in the eyes of Quge and Zisu's master and servant.

"Come on!" Bai Jiuxiao sternly said.

Immediately, the guards came over.

Bai Jiuxiao pointed to the place where the new soil was: "Dig!"

"Yes!" Fuwei took the order, hurried to find a hoe, and started digging the field.

Bai Jiuxiao stood beside him with his hands behind his back.

Zisu was so nervous that she kept watching Quge.

Qu Ge ignored her and showed no expression, but only she knew that she was flustered in her heart.

Because it is new soil that has just been covered, it is very soft and easy to dig. Several guards found it after digging for a long time.

"There is something, like clothing!" Fu Wei said.

Bai Jiuxiao's pupils shrank slightly: "Keep digging!"

Although at this point, she had already guessed that Duan Chao should have been killed, but she still had a chance.

Until the body buried under the soil appeared bit by bit, until the whole body was dug out and the facial features were fully displayed, her face also became cold inch by inch, and finally darkened, cold and terrifying.

"It's Duan Chao!"

Although the guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion were not in the same group as the people who were secretly working outside, there were still guards who knew Duan Chao and called out immediately.

Perilla has been shaken like a sieve.

Qu Ge's face paled.

Ning Shiqian was surprised.

Bai Jiuxiao pursed his lips into a cold straight line, stared sharply at Quge, and his voice came out from between his teeth: "What else do you have to say?"

Ning Shiqian also looked at Quge with frowned eyebrows.

Qu Ge shook her head, with a pale face: "I don't know, I really don't know, I didn't do it"

Zisu next to her suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop".

"I'm sorry, miss, it's a slave, it's a slave!"

Qu Ge looked surprised and looked at her in amazement: "You? Why?"

"The emperor sent the young lady to Dazhao to inquire about the news and to do hidden tricks, but the young lady completely forgot that the young lady only cares about the business of the teahouse, and only cares about her own piano skills. How can I explain to the emperor if this continues? The emperor will definitely blame her Yes, the servant persuaded the young lady, but the young lady refused to listen, and the servant had no choice but to contact the emperor himself."

Zisu burst into tears and spoke earnestly.

"Last night, the servant found out that someone was following our pigeon and sneaked into our backyard. Afraid of being exposed, the servant secretly killed him and buried him silently."

Qu Ge looked at Zi Su, and a smug admiration flashed in her eyes, which was quickly covered up by disbelief: "You, you are so confused!"

"We can't stay in Dazhao forever. Besides, you came here for the fourth prince. Now that the fourth prince has returned to the court, it is even more impossible for us to stay in Dazhao for too long. If we keep doing nothing, we will definitely be punished when we go back." The emperor punished me, and the servants also considered it for the sake of the young lady!"

Zi Su burst into tears.

Qu Ge shook her head, looking heartbroken.

"My father is Xiangguo. Even if I come to Dazhao and do nothing, the emperor will not really take my life. Let him punish other punishments. Hey!"

"But the servant is different from the young lady. The life of the servant is like an ant. The emperor will not punish the young lady, but will also punish the servant."

"I will protect you!"

Bai Jiuxiao looked at the master and servant with cold eyes.

Ning Shiqian frowned slightly, and pursed his thin lips slightly.

"Take it out and bury it." Bai Jiuxiao ordered the guard.

Then he walked out of the small garden, the corner of his purple robe fluttering slightly, and stood not far from the three of them.

Looking at Qu Ge and Zisu: "You two, do you kill yourself, or does this king have you captured and sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice? The difference between self-killing and going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice is that you can have a better time if you commit suicide, but if you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you will be punished." Do all kinds of torture, tell everything you know, and then execute him for public display."

Both Quge and Zisu's expressions changed drastically, and they looked at her in disbelief.

What she said was, you two?
Ning Shiqian was also surprised.

Zisu hurriedly kowtowed to Bai Jiuxiao.

"Ninth Prince, one person does things and one person is responsible. I did it alone. I did it. It has nothing to do with the lady. She doesn't know about it. I am willing to take responsibility and die. I just ask the Ninth Prince to forgive the lady."

While pleading for mercy, Zisu bumped her head on the ground, making a loud thud.

However, Bai Jiuxiao was not moved at all.

"No way, this is how Da Zhao treats the laws of other countries. This king has already made an exception and let you choose."

"But miss, she's not careful!" Zisu hissed.

Bai Jiuxiao shook the sleeves of his robe slightly: "But she is your master, the owner of this teahouse, and the Sang Lin who forged Da Zhao's background, these are enough to determine her identity."

Zi Su saw that she was ruthless, and it was difficult for her to change her mind, so she had to kowtow to Ning Shiqian again.

"Fourth prince, please help the fourth prince to save our young lady. At the beginning, she came to Da Zhao for the sake of the fourth prince. She didn't do anything from the beginning to the end. The fourth prince should know more about what kind of person she is than slaves. They are all slaves. It's my fault, it's my servant who has troubled her, and it's not a pity for this servant to die, but miss, she is innocent, I beg Fourth Prince to save her."

Qu Ge also looked at Ning Shiqian with red eyes, as if she was about to cry because of grievance.

Ning Shiqian pursed his lips and turned to look at Bai Jiuxiao.

Bai Jiuxiao didn't look at him, but only looked at Quge and Zisu, his facial features were cold and his brows were frowning.

"Hurry up, this king is very busy, if you don't make a decision, this king will send you to the punishment department."

"Lord Nine, can you take a step to speak?" Ning Shiqian asked.

Only then did Bai Jiuxiao turn his eyes to look at him, his face expressionless and his eyes indifferent.

"Why do you want to borrow a step? If you have anything to say, just say it here. The two of them are your own people, and these guards are my own people. There is nothing you can't listen to."

Bai Jiuxiao didn't move, but made a loud noise.

Ning Shiqian moved his eyelashes slightly and sighed silently.

Knowing that her temperament is like this, even the nine cows can't pull her back, and she also knows that if he pleads for Qu Ge at this time, it will only be counterproductive.

But he had to say this again, because if he didn't speak again, Qu Ge would really die.

"Since Zisu has pleaded guilty, and her life pays for her life, she is willing to obey the law, which is also an explanation. If the Ninth Prince does not believe that songs are not elaborations, you can investigate further, or leave it to me, I will investigate the matter, and give the Ninth Prince a How about explaining?" Ning Shiqian asked Bai Jiuxiao.

Bai Jiuxiao scoffed after hearing this.

"Are you here to investigate? Your own people check your own people? Guard yourself? Ning Shiqian, if you act like a fool once, how can you be fooled twice?"

Bai Jiuxiao glanced at Ning Shiqian, with a sneer on his lips, he didn't know if he was laughing at him or himself.

Ning Shiqian knew that she misunderstood too deeply and had too much prejudice against herself, so she couldn't explain it, she couldn't explain it.

After being silent for a while, I didn't know what to say to make her loosen. I found that nothing was right, and the last thing I said was only one sentence.

"Quge will not be elaborate."

"Ning Shiqian, if you're blind, you're also blind, don't you? Can't you see that this is a servant taking the blame for the master?" Bai Jiuxiao said angrily.

Qu Ge's complexion froze slightly, and Zi Su's eyes flashed panic.

"That's why I suggested that this matter should be thoroughly investigated. After the investigation is clear, if it is true what the Ninth Prince said, I will definitely not say anything about how the Ninth Prince wants to deal with it." Ning Shiqian said.

Bai Jiuxiao shook his head slightly: "You still don't believe me."

"But what if the king wants to kill her today?" Bai Jiuxiao spread his hands and said.

Qu Ge laughed.

With a pale face and a smile: "So, what the Ninth Prince means is that even if I'm not a secret agent, he still wants to kill me, right?"

Bai Jiuxiao turned his eyes and glanced at her lightly: "You can also understand it in this way."

"Why? Why does the Ninth Prince insist on killing me?" Qu Ge glanced back at her with deep eyes.
