Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Ziqiu, who came over with lunch, found that in late autumn, on a rainy day, it was so cold that it felt like the wind was blowing in one's bones, but their girl's face was flushed and she was not very shy.

Not long after lunch, news came from the sky prison that the former Jiangdu County King, who had been imprisoned for many days but had not yet been determined, was gone.

It was fine in the morning, and when the jailer brought lunch over, it looked normal. However, after lunch, the person suddenly disappeared.

The body was discovered by a young jailer who had just arrived while inspecting the cell as usual.This little jailer was an honest man and upright in his work. If it had been another person who cheated and cheated, the corpse of this county prince would have been left in the cold for half a day.

The news was delivered to the emperor. His Majesty sat on the dragon couch and was silent for a long time. He sighed softly, waved his hand and ordered, "Investigate thoroughly."

The word "thorough investigation" adds a bit of helplessness and powerlessness to the dragon trapped in the shallows because the illness has not healed and the breath has stopped.

The person is dead, the body has gone cold, and no one has come to visit the former Jiangdu County King recently.I searched the cell and found nothing. I even licked the basin clean of the lunch I had just eaten. Compared to the time when the former prince of the county first entered the prison, he was actually much more well-behaved and cooperative.A man of royal blood, completely broken up, just like every prisoner in this cell, humble and pitiful, being obedient in exchange for a decent meal, and relying on others...

like a dog.

It was also such a well-behaved person that the jailers who had previously been worried about the prince causing trouble gradually relaxed their vigilance, making this death seem particularly unexpected.

Before Xu Siniang was pulled over for autopsy, the jailer who delivered the meal had already been hung up and interrogated. However, the prison guard bit him to death and did nothing. He just delivered a bowl of rice to all the prisoners in the prison. I got the same food, not tasty and filling, but not poisonous.

When the news was sent to the Ji family, Xu Siniang had already taken an errand and went to Tianlao.

Ji Wuyan was holding the last bowl of ginger tea today, thinking about how to feed it into Ning Xiuyuan's belly in a majestic manner with Ziqiu's "eager" eyes. Hearing this, he was slightly startled, and looked up at the wind and rain. The weather was so bad, he wondered and muttered, "Why is Xu Siniang..."

Xu Siniang was the only female widow in the court. Shen Luoxin said that it was probably because she still had the status of a censor's wife. Everyone took good care of Xu Siniang. She had nothing to do on weekdays and did not need to be on duty. Autopsies rarely find her, unless she is a woman, unless others cannot solve the problem.This time...

Xi Yu is an informant, which is much easier to use than Xi An.He said the gossip he had gathered, "I heard that it was the person who ordered it personally, Mr. You."

You Feng?

Ji Wuyan and Ning Xiuyuan exchanged glances - You Feng had cooperated with Li Yuqi before, but he had never heard of being in the East Palace camp, not even the specious speculation.but……

"I'll go take a look first. If there is any news, I'll ask Xi Yu to bring it to you as soon as possible." Ning Xiuyuan stood up, patted Ji Wuyan, and comforted him, "Even if Xu Siniang goes to do an autopsy, I'll do it if I can. Even if the test fails, she will not be convicted. Besides, Mr. Shen is not a fool, and his own wife can always protect Ichigo. Don’t worry."

Ji Wuyan nodded silently, but his brows and eyes were still light and there was something heavy in his chest. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was because of the previous dream or some kind of premonition at this moment... But the situation was unclear at the moment, so there was no use saying more. She nodded and said, "Take Cen Yan with you. He is very skilled and can always protect you." Xi Yu looked silent, so... the girl always felt that Is his skill very unreliable?

Ning Xiuyuan nodded, took two steps and then turned back. He took the ginger tea that the little girl had been holding with a grimace for so long. He drank it in one gulp and put it back in her hand. He looked into the other person's eyes that were instantly filled with smiles. They looked at each other, smiled, and strode away.

Ziqiu was dumbfounded: Ginger tea... So, did the ginger tea that I had ordered Third Master Ning to watch his girl drink every drop of before, also got into Third Master Ning's stomach?Is Master Ning so unprincipled when it comes to girls?

Oh, not really.She realized belatedly.

"Girl... Jiangcha is for your own good." Ziqiu said earnestly, "You have been soaked in so much rain and stayed out all night. If you get infected..."

The following words were swallowed back in the stomach, just because the girl who was smiling before and as cunning and proud as a cat that had stolen fish suddenly became worried and silent, as if she was filled with worries.

"Girl...what's wrong with you?"

Ji Wuyan seemed to have come back to his senses after hearing this. He put down the tea cup in his hand and shook his head, "Nothing. You clean up here first, and then go and see if grandma has rested. I have something to talk to her about. If she has rested, just When she wakes up, ask Grandma Wang to call me."

Ziqiu responded and stepped back.

The rain hit the pool, causing large and small splashes. Ji Wuyan stood on the porch and looked at the well-organized garden where many vegetables were planted. He had heard the cook praise her before, saying that the eldest daughter of the Shen family was really a She is capable and virtuous. Since she came, the family has saved a lot of money on vegetables. Moreover, the vegetables she grows are particularly juicy and much better than those of many vegetable farmers.

After finishing speaking, I was still lamenting how harmful this rumor was. What a good girl's family it is, what it is like outside.He also talked about Xu Siniang’s snacks. Young Master Jifeng talked about it several times. He also said that children are the most perceptive and can see clearly who is good and who is bad. This Mrs. Xu is obviously good too.In just a few words, she changed from "Xu Siniang" to "Xu Niangzi".

As if he were one of his own family.

Xu Siniang...

Just before falling asleep, she asked Cen Yan if there was any movement in the East Palace, and Cen Yan said no.Everything in the East Palace was as normal, as if nothing had happened. Li Yuqi seemed to have made up his mind to suffer the loss of being dumb.But Li Yuqi, who has a small belly, chicken intestines, and a vengeance, must retaliate. Now that he has suffered such a big loss, how can there be no movement at all?
She had been puzzled by this question for a long time, until Xi Yu brought the news that Li Yanxian had died and You Feng named Xu Siniang for an autopsy... She always felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy behind this matter, but as Ning Xiuyuan said, there was no way to test it. No matter what the result is, Xu Siniang will never be punished for this.

It can't just be murder in broad daylight.

But, the feeling in my heart that something bad is about to happen...where did it come from?
