Xiao Jie didn't deny it, but just let out a long sigh: "You were assassinated obviously because of me, but when you were in danger, I didn't stand by your side to protect you."

It's good that Xiao Jie didn't say this, but when she said this, Su Yao also felt her nose a little sore, she couldn't help but gently threw herself into Xiao Jie's arms, and said quietly: "At that time, when the assassin's sword was about to stab me , I thought I would never see my husband again in this life."

Xiao Jie couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, then he gritted his teeth and said: "If I find out who did it, I will definitely cut him into pieces with my own hands to vent my hatred."

Su Yao hurriedly covered Xiao Jie's mouth, shook her head and said, "Your husband must not be like this. Although the assassin is vicious, you are the prince after all, and you are also the captain of Sili. If you really do such a cruel thing, you will definitely die." It will be criticized by the world.”

Hearing the words, Xiao Jie couldn't help hugging Su Yao in her arms even tighter, and sighed secretly. This wife is good in everything, but she is too kind. She is the victim who almost died, but she is still thinking about herself The reputation of this gentleman.

Su Yao felt Xiao Jie's love, but she still sighed quietly: "This time, it's really thanks to Miss Lian'er. If she didn't save her life, I'm afraid I would have lost my life a long time ago... She also She was seriously injured. Husband, you should go and see her more when you have time."

Xiao Jie didn't speak, just nodded lightly and said "huh".

Su Yao seemed to think of something again, and continued: "My husband also wants to visit sister Tao when he is free. Now there are rumors everywhere outside, saying that the Tao family is the mastermind of assassinating me. Although sister Tao doesn't say anything, I also It can be seen that she is not happy these days."

Xiao Jie nodded silently again, sighed again, and said in an apologetic tone: "Sometimes I wonder if I really did something wrong. If I hadn't insisted on implementing some new policy, I wouldn't have offended so many enemies, which in turn caused You are all in danger, and now you are assassinated, Tao Han is criticized, Yu Wenxuan is seriously injured...all of this happened because of me."

When Su Yao heard the words, she left Xiao Jie's arms all of a sudden, looked at Xiao Jie with a solemn face, and said solemnly: "how can my husband think so, although I never ask about your business affairs, I also know that you implement the New Deal to attack the powerful , to benefit the people, this is something that benefits Daning and the people of the world, how can it be interrupted because of my own safety, then I, Su Yao, have become a big sinner. "

Xiao Jie hugged Su Yao into his arms again, feeling secretly in his heart that having a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for.

Su Yao hesitated for a moment in Xiao Jie's arms, but she couldn't help but said: "Actually, I came to the study to see my husband. Apart from worrying about my husband, there is one more thing I want to ask my husband for help."

Xiao Jie nodded without hesitation: "Tell me, don't say it's just one thing, it's ten or hundreds of things. As long as you open your mouth, I will try my best to do it."

Su Yao looked up at Xiao Jie's face, sighed and said: "I know that a woman like me should not interfere with political affairs, but I still want to trouble my husband to ask the emperor for mercy, begging him to let Qilin Guard release those assassinated cases in prison People implicated and imprisoned innocently."

Xiao Jie couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, obviously he didn't expect that this is what Su Yao asked her to help.

He also heard that his father ordered the Qilin Guards to investigate Su Yao's assassination case within a time limit, and arrest the escaped assassin. Zhang Chu, under heavy pressure, went to the doctor in a hurry and sent a large number of Qilin Guards to Luoyang. There was a massive search inside and outside the city, and anyone who behaved suspiciously or refused to cooperate was immediately taken back and thrown into prison for further interrogation. I heard that Qilin Guard's own prison can't even fit in, so they had to use Henan Yin and Luoyang Ling's prisons to come. Pretending to be the personnel captured by their Qilin Guards.

Seeing that Xiao Jie didn't speak, Su Yao continued to say: "husband, don't blame me for being troublesome. It's just that the matter has not been investigated clearly, and I don't know who did it. The Qilin guards arrested so many people indiscriminately and put them in prison for torture. Torture will make other people think of me, and how they will think of His Highness."

Xiao Jie understands what Su Yao means, and he also knows that it is almost impossible for Qilinwei to arrest these people to be related to the assassination of Su Yao.

But now that Su Yao said so, Qi Linwei would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one person go, which is really bad for Su Yao's reputation. Maybe they were sympathetic to her experience, but if there are so many innocent people People who are implicated and imprisoned innocently will indeed have a much worse perception of Su Yao, and even feel that Su Yao deserves it.

Although he doesn't care about his reputation very much, he has to cherish Su Yao's reputation and not let Su Yao's reputation be damaged in the slightest.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie directly nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will personally go to see my father tomorrow and beg him to release those innocent people in person."

Su Yao took a long breath of relief, and then smiled: "husband, it's getting late, let's go back to the room earlier to rest."

Xiao Jie nodded with a smile, then left the study with Su Yao and walked towards the bedroom...

……

Early the next morning, Xiao Jie went to the palace to meet Xiao Ji. After arguing about his advantages and disadvantages, he finally succeeded in persuading his father. Afterwards, Xiao Ji issued an order to the Qilin Guard. Zhang Chu had no choice but to release all the poor people who were imprisoned. After returning home, although Qilinwei's search continued, there was no arrest of innocent people indiscriminately.

I don't know where the rumors came from. Many people knew that Su Yao, the princess of Qi, begged the emperor to release the innocent people who were imprisoned through the mouth of King Qi. They couldn't help admiring Su Yao. Unexpectedly, but I still think about those innocent people who have been implicated in my heart. They are really kind-hearted.

Thinking that Princess Qi is so kind to others, yet there are still people who want to take her life, it is simply insane, not as good as a beast.

Therefore, although those innocent people who were implicated were released and went home, the interest in Princess Qi's assassination has remained high in the capital. The princess hurt the killer.

However, as the Qilin Guard's search became much more relaxed, the capital slowly returned to its former tranquility, and even the Su Mansion, which had been in and out of the Qilin Guard before, was able to calm down a lot.

This morning, an old lady was carrying a bamboo basket to go out from the back door of the Su residence. The servant at the back door recognized her as Aunt Tian who had served Mrs. Shen for many years, and quickly greeted her with a smile, and asked Aunt Tian casually. where to go.

Aunt Tian also smiled and explained that she went to the pharmacy in the city to get medicine for Mrs. Shen, and the servant didn't ask any more questions and let her go.

You must know that Mrs. Bai has seldom been in charge of things in the past two years. The entire Su Mansion is dominated by Mrs. Shen, and Aunt Tian was married to the Su Mansion with Mrs. Shen back then. The relationship with Mrs. Shen has long been broken. To surpass master and servant, if you offend Aunt Tian, ​​you will indirectly offend Mrs. Shen.

Aunt Tian was not far away from the back door of the Su Mansion. She looked back and made sure that no one was following her, so she immediately quickened her pace and walked in another direction.

What Aunt Tian didn't know was that, where she couldn't see, a pair of eyes had been hiding in the dark and watching her secretly, and her figure was following her closely like a ghost...
