The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

No. 11 acted very quickly and it didn’t take long for him to come back, probably in about ten minutes.

"So fast, could it be that you didn't find it?"

Xiao Yun asked doubtfully.

"How is that possible? I was able to find out where they hid the things with just a glance, and I even secretly pointed the way to the guards who were searching.

You don’t know that there is a dark room in Ning’an Courtyard. It is not in the bedroom or the study, but in the small kitchen. There is a compartment for sundries, and the door to the dark room is right there.

I listened to you and took all the unmarked banknotes and gold and silver. I didn't touch anything else. I also deliberately threw a big rat there, otherwise the guards wouldn't have found it..."

Xiao Yun was delighted as he listened to its endless requests for credit.

It's easy to imagine that there is a dark room, and it's so secretive, and most of the things inside cannot be seen by the light. If she can find some evidence that is enough to destroy the Pingxi Marquis Mansion, then she won't even have to do anything, and the male and female protagonists will be finished.

Less than an hour later, the guards came up carrying several boxes, three of which were brought back by Lu Jiaojiao and her friends. These people probably didn't know which one contained the paper and pen for writing invisible letters, so they carried over the ones she said had the secret compartment.

There are a few that Xiao Yun has not seen before, and they should have been found in the dark room of Zheng'an Courtyard.

The guard who was carrying the boxes came forward and whispered a few words to the commander. The commander's face changed and he personally stepped forward and opened the lids of the three boxes.

Xiao Yun moved to the direction of the box calmly. When she saw what was inside, she was stunned!

At the same time, he said to No. 11: "Why didn't you take the box of gems? Even if you take half of it, it's too beautiful!"

Facing her was a box of colorful gems, which were almost blinding under the midday sun.

"You only see the gem. Don't you see the crown and the dagger and sword underneath? These are all things of foreign royal families."

There was some helplessness in No. 11's tone. This was evidence of a crime. If he accepted it, wouldn't it reduce the sentence of Marquis Pingxi?

Xiao Yun then realized that the gems were inlaid in something else. He blinked awkwardly and did not reply to No. 11. Instead, he quickly looked around at everyone in Pingxi Marquis's mansion. He then found that Pingxi Marquis's face was as pale as paper. It seemed that he had hidden these boxes.

If she had asked No. 11 to check Zheng'an Courtyard earlier, and discovered these things earlier, and asked Qi Yun to help report them to the emperor, wouldn't that have been a greater contribution?

In addition to this box, the other boxes were also not simple. One of them contained some letters that were obviously quite old. Just by looking at the twisted words on the top letter, you could tell it was from another country.

There was also a box containing account books, which were neatly stacked. This should not be normal, otherwise they would not have been carried out.

Inside the box on the far right is a golden phoenix crown. This phoenix crown is not the phoenix-shaped one that ordinary people wear when they get married. It has a phoenix on it, and it has nine tails. This is the style that only the queen can wear!

Xiao Yun was secretly shocked. She realized that the matter was far more serious than she had imagined. However, she was also somewhat relieved. In this way, not only could she fulfill her original body's wish, but she could also get rid of the Pingxi Marquis Mansion directly.

Otherwise, based on those things of Lu Jiaojiao alone, we can only conclude that there is a problem between her, Chu Hongyi, and Lu Jiaojiao's in-laws. We have to go there to investigate to find out whether there is any crime of treason. If the other party is innocent, we may not find anything.

The Pingxi Marquisate could have said that they had just learned that Chu Hongyi was still alive and knew nothing about the other side, so they simply removed themselves from the situation.

Now, with these things, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion can be detained. If something is found out during the interrogation, the final outcome can be imagined, from exile at the lightest to beheading at the worst!

At this time, the commander of the Royal Guards looked back and forth in front of several boxes, and then picked up a letter and opened it to read.

Then he threw it into the box and said to everyone with a cold face: "I am following the order of His Majesty to search the Pingxi Marquis's mansion. These evidences are enough to prove that the Pingxi Marquis is suspected of treason and collusion. Come! Immediately take all the people in the Pingxi Marquis' mansion to the Tianlao for trial!"

"Yes!"

The guards present responded in unison, then quickly stepped forward to arrest everyone, including Xiao Yun and his companions.

Xiao Yun felt the strength on her arm. It seemed that the emperor had not informed these people. She was afraid that she would have to go to the Sky Prison again.

Following the actions of the imperial guards, there was an uproar in the Pingxi Marquis's mansion. Even Lu Jiaojiao struggled to raise her upper body and shouted weakly, "It's unfair! Someone must have deliberately framed me!"

Following her words, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, especially the old Marquis' wife and several female relatives, seemed to have found an idea and immediately followed suit and cried out for injustice.

"Whether it is unjust or not, the emperor will make the final decision. It is useless for you to cry out for justice now. Take them all away!"

The commander of the Royal Guards said this expressionlessly, and then had them taken away.

Xiao Yun was also pushed rudely. Hong Ling and Lu He wanted to go forward, but she stopped them with her eyes, so they could only follow behind.

Xiao Yun looked back at Pingxi Hou and Chu Hongyi who looked dejected, as well as Lu Jiaojiao who was still trying to shout, and felt a little mocking in his heart. They were still pretending at this time.

Yes, after all, she was not considered a member of the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion yet, and she could still say that it was those boxes that Chu Hongyi brought back, and maybe she could have gotten herself out of it.

However, she didn't know that the emperor had already known about her through Qi Yun, and there were many suspicious things about her maternal family, so how could they let her go?

And now she was being carried by someone, so she couldn't run away even if she wanted to.

Soon, Xiao Yun was imprisoned in the Sky Prison along with other female family members.

This cell was not like the ones shown on TV, with rats and bugs. Apart from the dim light and a bad smell, it was fairly clean.

Of course, it is also possible that this is just a place for temporary detention, and those who have already been convicted will probably be in a worse situation.

Amidst the sighs, sobs and complaints, Xiao Yun and Hong Ling huddled together in a corner, none of them saying a word. Xiao Yun even lowered his head, wondering how the plot would develop next.

The situation should have gone completely awry now, and there is nothing to learn from the subsequent plots. I just don't know if the male and female protagonists can be dealt with at once, so that she can be considered a winner without doing anything.

This is not impossible. With these evidences, it is enough to completely convict the Pingxi Marquis Mansion.

Now it all depends on what the emperor thinks, whether he will take advantage of the opportunity to completely take over the Pingxi Marquis Mansion, or show mercy by letting him off the hook.

However, even if his property was not confiscated and he was exiled, he would be demoted and stripped of his title for sure. As long as Chu Hongyi was no longer the eldest son of the Marquisate, there would be nothing for him and Lu Jiaojiao to do.

Just as she lowered her head to think, she suddenly heard footsteps outside. Since the women did not dare to cry too loudly, any other noises were still quite obvious in the cell.

Xiao Yun raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the prison door, and saw two figures appear outside the prison door. The shadows gradually became smaller as they got closer to the oil lamp at the door, until they stopped.

She looked carefully, and although the light was dim, she recognized one of the people at a glance.

King Ping of Qi Yun.
