Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

"Your Highness should know that I met Minister Xu a few times when I was a child."

"Have heard a little bit."

In fact, Li Heng had heard the story of Minister Xu looking for the person who saved his mother in front of the palace a long time ago.

"Palace Jade Wine, one hundred and eighty yuan per cup" once became a famous saying.

I heard that the emperor was very angry about this matter.

His royal brother has been very possessive since childhood and does not allow others to covet his things.

Minister Xu was so bold that he was thinking about the imperial concubine of the time, Li Zhao's first wife. How could Li Zhao tolerate such humiliation?

Fortunately, it was later discovered that Minister Xu had no improper thoughts about the imperial concubine. What he liked was——

Li Heng turned his gaze to Ling'er who was standing beside Wen Yuan.

Ling'er's face is lively, but not so stunning that it is unforgettable.

However, it was her prickly personality that left a deep impression on Li Heng.

Li Heng's gaze was open and aboveboard. Ji Xingyao was frightened by his stare and glared back without any hesitation.

Look, this girl, with her personality, can she survive in the palace without the protection of the emperor's sister-in-law?

Li Heng now believed what Xu Jinyi said. This wild girl from the countryside was rude and had a dull mind. She didn't want to live comfortably as the wife of a number one scholar, but insisted on making a living in the cruel palace.

"Your Majesty."

"Hmm?" Li Heng came back to his senses and looked at Wen Yuan.

"I want to clear Minister Xu's name, but I'm under house arrest now and can't do anything..."

"Don't worry, Madam, I share the same thoughts as you. I went to see you today precisely for this matter."

Wen Yuan was stunned. She hadn't expected this to come so easily. Her carefully prepared explanation was completely useless.

She nodded slightly: "Then I'll trouble Prince Ruiping."

"Imperial sister-in-law, there's no need for us to thank each other. I'll go to the prison to investigate. Once I have any results, I'll send someone to inform you."

"it is good."

Li Heng's teacup was empty. Ji Xingyao leaned over to pour him tea. A fragrance drifted into Li Heng's nose, strange yet familiar.

It tastes like Xingyao.

But the taste was fleeting, and it seemed like Li Heng's illusion.

He felt like he was possessed by a demon, always looking for clues about Ji Xingyao in this palace maid.

absurd!

Li Heng drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and stood up to say goodbye.

"Goodbye, Prince Ruiping."

As soon as Li Heng turned around, Ji Xingyao immediately gestured to Wen Yuan, meaning that she wanted to go with Li Heng.

Wen Yuan didn't want her to stay with Li Heng, but it was natural for Ji Xingyao to worry about Xu Jinyi, so she had no choice but to agree.

"I'll be back soon, don't worry."

After saying that, Ji Xingyao lifted her skirt and followed Li Heng.

After following her for a while, Li Heng suddenly stopped and stopped her: "Why are you following me?"

"Your Highness, can you take Ling'er with you to the prison?" Ji Xingyao tried hard to force a flattering smile, but it was so hypocritical that you could tell it was fake at first glance.

If it weren't for Xu Jinyi, Ji Xingyao never thought that she would make such a disgusting expression.

I heard that Wei Prison is where serious criminals are held, and there are all kinds of terrible torture instruments. Xu Jinyi is just a scholar, and any of the torture instruments can take half his life.

Ji Xingyao put some silver in his pocket, wondering if he could sneak into the prison and bribe the jailer so that he would suffer less.

Li Heng, a tall man, lowered his eyes to look at the clown-like palace maid in front of him. "Didn't you say before that your throat would hurt and you couldn't speak when you saw me? How come it's better now?"

this......

Ji Xingyao blamed himself for talking nonsense and shooting himself in the foot.

"Your Highness, you previously wrongly accused me of breaking the Twin Moons and Rings Jade Pendant, causing me to catch a fever, cold, and internal injuries..."

Before Ji Xingyao could finish her words, Li Heng interrupted her in a deep voice: "How do you know the name of the jade pendant?"

Li Heng clearly remembered that when he handed the jade pendant to her, he did not mention the Double Moon Ringing Star.

Ji Xingyao thought to herself that it was bad, she had let the cat out of the bag. She hurriedly tried to make amends, "It was the Majesty who told me. She said this jade pendant is very important to you."

Li Heng didn't say anything, and Ji Xingyao couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
