Soft and crispy waist

After Xia Gang made a fuss that day, Xia Zheng has been under house arrest in Yinlin Courtyard.

She understood that it was Gu Yizi who was protecting her.

But she also understood her current situation, that she was trapped in a desperate situation with no way to escape.

Even if she deliberately took out the household registration book and released the slave book, everything could prove that her current identity had nothing to do with Xia Gang's stepdaughter.

It may not be proven, it doesn't matter.

If only this matter was caught by Lord Gan.

Gu Yizi is now even more popular. Even Xia Zheng, who is in the backyard, has already heard rumors that the old emperor is in poor health, and the throne will probably fall to Gu Yizi.

Even though Gu Yizi is only the old emperor's nephew, the old emperor has no children, so it is not impossible for him to adopt Gu Yizi if he insists.

Many people even thought that Gu Yizi's assistance in flood control this time was just a reward, and that he would be adopted by the old emperor as soon as he returned to Beijing, and would naturally become the crown prince.

As a result, the voices opposing the adoption of nephews like Gu Yizi became increasingly louder.

Lord Gan is one of the leaders. He will never let go of such a good opportunity to suppress Gu Yizi, and those who oppose Gu Yizi will also do their best.

But this matter is not a big deal. As long as they give her up, she will accept everything, and Lord Gan and others will have no choice.

Therefore, Lord Gan and others were very anxious to pin the charges of faking death, deceiving, and even deceiving the emperor on Gu Yizi before she was abandoned. Therefore, even Marquis Anyang and Zhou were investigated in the past few days.

Xia Gang was released yesterday. Wei Qingqing asked the Wei family to inquire about it. They said that they had a lot of evidence and would probably summon her today.

Wei Qingqing asked her to pretend to be sick, and Lin Rongrong also got some herbal medicine for her. Chunzhi and Xue Rui also walked around outside the yard several times.

But she knew that nothing would help.

The words of the person sent by *** were still ringing in her ears. Xia Zheng looked at Ruanruan who was sleeping soundly in the crib and finally made up her mind.

Stand up and walk out quickly.

But before she stepped out of the door, she saw Gu Yizi walking in from outside.

His face was a little pale, obviously he hadn't slept well in the past few days. Seeing Xia Zheng coming out, he seemed to have some concerns and hesitated for a step before continuing to walk forward.

"Sir, the Dali Temple will probably summon me soon. I beg you, for the sake of mercy, to let me..."

"You won't be summoned." Gu Yizi interrupted.

Xia was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

"Xia Gang is dead."

Xia Gang is dead?

For a moment, Xia Zheng doubted whether she had heard it wrong.

How could Xia Gang die?

At this time, Xia Gang is the most important. Whether it is Tao Yurong or Lord Gan and others, they will definitely protect him secretly and will not give others any chance to attack.

Moreover, Lord Gan must be hoping that Gu Yi will be caught red-handed, so he must have sent an expert.

How could Xia Gang die in this situation?

"Who killed him?"

Seeing the expectation in Xia Zheng's eyes, Gu Yizi knew that she had guessed it. Although he couldn't bear it, he still told the truth: "Madam Tian, ​​when Xia Gang was drunk at night, she used a broken wine jar to slit his throat. When the people from the Dali Temple went there the next day, he was already hard."

"My mother? How could she..." Xia Zheng couldn't believe that it was her own mother who did it.

For more than ten years, my mother has been bullied by Xia Gang. She has never resisted, not even quarreled. She always keeps saying that Xia Gang has done her a favor, and without Xia Gang, she and her mother would have died long ago, so she has always accepted it.

Xia Zheng thought about asking her mother and Xia Gang to divorce, but finally gave up because her mother would not agree.

Therefore, she never expected that her mother would kill Xia Gang.

Killed Xia Gang who had done her a favor.

Even though she had guessed it when Gu Yizi said it, in order to avoid those eyes in the dark, only someone like Madam Tian who was completely ignored and thought it was impossible could succeed.

But before Gu Yizi said it, she still didn't believe it.

"Mother, where is she...?" Xia Zheng grabbed Gu Yizi's sleeves with both hands, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

Gu Yizi waved his hand and asked everyone to go down.

He took Xia Zheng into the house and let her sit on the couch before taking out a roll of paper from his sleeve.

Xia Zheng immediately took it and opened it, revealing a copied testimony.

It’s Mrs. Tian’s.

She said that Xia Zheng was not her daughter at all. She picked her up while fleeing. She had planned to sell her for money, but she met Xia Gang who persuaded her to sell her to Anyang Marquis Mansion.

Later, when Xia Zheng grew up, she saw that Xia Gang was interested in her and was jealous, so she poisoned Xia Zheng to death. Because she died in Anyang Marquis' Mansion, for some reason, the Anyang Marquis Mansion said that she died of illness and threw her out.

As for the painting, Xia Gang was a lustful man. He had seen this man in Anyang Marquis' Mansion and disliked Xia Zheng's ugliness, so he asked the painter to paint Xia Zheng's body based on that man's face.

Even though Xia Zheng had been dead for so long, Xia Gang still often took out the painting to look at it. After coming out of the Dali Temple, he said that once the Dali Temple gave Xia Surong to him as a daughter, he would kick this old woman out.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he picked up the shards and killed him.

If I kill him, he will only be with me.

Below the name of Tian Niangzi, there is a red thumbprint with a diagonal line running through it. That was when she didn't hold the hatchet firmly when she was a child, and her mother was afraid that she would chop it, so she reached out to stop her and cut her thumb.

Blood was dripping all over her, and she was so scared that she could only cry, but her mother stroked her back with her other hand to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, dear, mother is fine. A little bleeding can cure the disease. As long as you are fine, it's good."

Just be good and be okay.

That's what my mother thought, so...

"Prince, is there still room for maneuver? Can I go..."

Gu Yizi shook his head. "She's already confessed and signed a contract. She was indeed the one who killed him. You won't be able to save her if you go again. You'll only get yourself killed. Wouldn't that be a disservice to her?"

Mother has done something extreme!

Xia Zheng couldn't help but break down and cry, crying about her own uselessness.

He said that he would protect his mother in this life and provide her with a good life, but in the end, his mother still died for him.

Then what's the point of her rebirth?

Gu Yizi reached out and hugged her tightly, silently accompanying her until her crying gradually subsided and her emotions gradually stabilized before saying, "You can go see her."

Even though Xia Zheng knew that it would be risky for Gu Yizi to go see her mother at this time, after all, that was the territory of Dali Temple.

But she couldn't care less about that at the moment and just kept nodding.

That night.

When the whole street was silent, a carriage came out from the darkness and stopped in front of the Dali Temple dungeon.

A man wrapped in a black robe, with no visible trace, walked out from inside.

The person waiting at the dungeon door took a look, opened the door without saying a word, and let the man in black robe walk in.

During the flood, many prisoners were taken away to do hard labor. Now the dungeon is empty. From a distance, you can see that there is only one cell with a candle on.

As I walked closer, I saw a thin figure curled up on the straw with shackles on his ankles. His ankles were as thin as dead wood and were bleeding from being rubbed by the shackles.

"Mother."
