The sickly girl makes it hard for her to fly away

Chapter 566 The Little Princess Always Wants to Run 106
"Didn't His Highness already know what those Xuanguo people had done? Why did he need to go to Tianlao again to personally investigate?"

It was obvious that Wei Hu was holding on to him because he wanted to lead the courtiers to associate with bad things.

There is a hint of meaning in this remark, pointing out that this matter is suspicious, and you, a person who knows the confession, have to go to the prison to ask again, isn't it because of ulterior motives?
He Lianqing did have his own reasons, but his reasons were not easy to put on the surface.

Facing Wei Hu's questioning, He Lianqing's eyes became unfathomable.

"Master Wei, are you trying to say that I went to Tianlao to kill those Xuanguo people?"

Wei Hu didn't expect He Lianqing to say such words so directly, which made him at a loss as to how to answer the words.

However, Wei Hu, who has been in the officialdom for many years, did not mess around in vain, and quickly took over the words: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to express my inner doubts, and I hope that the matter can come to a conclusion.

There may be something wrong with the words, and I hope His Highness will take care of it. "

Wei Hu's words were quite sweet, and he turned the tit-for-tat point of view into urgent words when he was seeking a conclusion, which is hard to blame.

"Master Wei, you should be careful about the affairs of the court, but you need to pay more attention to your words."

This time, a minister with less sharp words stood up and said: "Your Highness, please tell everyone about last night's whereabouts and the situation at that time. This will also allow us ministers to find some clues and search for the murderer as soon as possible. "

Helian Chongchang sat on it and watched the development of the situation quietly.

He knew why He Lianqing went to the prison last night.

Since He Lianqing was able to personally investigate for Qi Ningning, he should also be able to deal with the wind and rain in the future, let's see how he can protect the person he wants to protect in such a situation.

He Lianqing briefly and clearly explained what happened when he went to the prison last night. After he finished speaking, things reached a deadlock.

At present, it seems that except He Lianqing who went to Tianlao last night, no one else has been there.

Those Xuanguo people were fine a few days ago, and all the torture injuries on their bodies were treated by the imperial physician, and they will not be fatal.

Judging from the death method detected by Wu Zuo, unless they bite the poison coat in their mouths, no one will find out, let alone let them die in prison by themselves.

Someone must have sneaked into the prison and met those Xuanguo people.

But who exactly he was, the courtiers at the court meeting could not make a conclusion for a while.

In front of Helian Chongchang, other courtiers should not go too far against Helian Qing. Although he was the most suspicious person, he was also Helian Chongchang's most beloved son.

If these things accidentally angered the emperor, they couldn't afford it.

After the court meeting, He Lianqing stood on the turret overlooking the scenery inside and outside the imperial city, the frown between his brows had never been flattened.

At night, He Lianqing put on his night clothes and flew across the eaves in the dark night, like a flying swallow.

At night, the defense was slightly relaxed, and the location that Helian Qing had secretly investigated was almost in front of him.

He bent down extremely cautiously, his whole body stuck to the ridge of the roof, his sharp eyes staring at the two guards guarding the door below.

He Lianqing shook his arm like lightning, and soon the two guards fell silently.

His movements were so fast that it was difficult to catch them. In his sleeve was a silver needle he had prepared earlier. The silver needle was as thin as silk, and it was stained with a concoction that could instantly stun people.

The silver needle was stuck on the necks of those two people at this moment, and when they were still shaking tremblingly, Helian Qing was already standing outside the room where Qi Ningning was.

He glanced down, then lowered his head and moved his hands and feet on the lock in front of the door. After carefully catching a slight sound with his ears, he twisted it lightly, and the lock opened.

When the door was opened, it was pitch black with no candles lit.Thinking of Qi Ningning staying in such a place these days, He Lianqing's heart hurts like a knife.

It was him who failed to protect her in the palace. If he had been there at that time, he would not have let the Xiang Long Guards capture her in the palace. He would have protected her no matter what.

Unfortunately, it is too late to say anything now.

He Lianqing took out the fire stick and lit it, then closed the door and walked to the lampstand to light the candle.

The candles lit up, illuminating the entire room, including the bed by the wall.

The curtain has not fallen down, and you can directly see the person lying on it.

The quilt on her body was covered crookedly, and she was lying on her side, with her back to the door and her face to the wall.

He Lianqing saw that her body seemed to be thinner than before. She must have suffered here.

He Lianqing walked over slowly and wanted to cover her with a quilt.

I came here today just to see her, to talk, to see how she is doing here.

But now that he saw her sleeping, He Lianqing didn't think about anything else, for fear of disturbing her good sleep. She was not having a good life in the first place.

The hand that reached out to cover the quilt suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on Qi Ningning's wrist.

There were a few coils of hemp rope tied on it, but she refused to take it off even when she was sleeping, so it was no wonder the quilt couldn't cover it well if it was tied like this.

He Lianqing tightened his fist and almost hit the bed frame beside him. Fortunately, he finally suppressed his anger, and his heartache swarmed over him, sweeping over him overwhelmingly.

Qi Ningning's life was as difficult as he thought. His father's method of sparing Qi Ningning's life was definitely considered a kindness.

After careful observation, Qi Ningning did not have any injuries on her body. It seemed that she was only temporarily under house arrest and nothing was done to her.

With trembling hands, Helian Qing stretched out to cover her with the quilt.

All the windows in the house were sealed, and the candlelight barely flickered inside.

He couldn't stay here much longer.

He stretched out his hand that was covered with quilt and caressed Qi Ningning's soft cheek, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

He whispered: "Ning Ning, wait for me. I will investigate this matter clearly and take you out of here as soon as possible."

After seeing Qi Ningning today, He Lianqing was even more unwilling to procrastinate. The investigation of the truth of the matter had to be done as soon as possible, and one day later, Qi Ningning would suffer an extra day.

If you stay for a long time, you will feel nostalgia. He Lianqing dare not stay longer, and the people outside should not be unconscious for too long, lest they will become suspicious.

He Lianqing slowly withdrew her hand and got up to blow out the candle, the flapping corner of her clothes disappeared outside the door with a whoosh.

The two guards guarding the gate tremblingly opened their eyes and sat up when a gust of wind passed by.

"Why were you so sleepy all of a sudden?"

"So sleepy? Me too..."

The two rubbed their eyes together, then looked at each other in surprise, and even more surprised when they woke up.

The people in the room!
