"Ninth Prince, I want to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
She had to ask Yan Tinglian to find out about this matter.
Although King Zhao married the original owner because the Duke of Yiguo could bring him some political support, even if he really didn't like the original owner, he would never be stupid enough to find someone to slander her and give himself such a useless cuckold.
Xiao Mingxuan pursed his lips, his profile tightened, and faced the outside of the car.
"Xingbu."
"yes."
Qin Yin responded.
The carriage turned a corner and headed towards the Ministry of Punishment.
After a cup of tea, Qin Yin's voice came again from outside the carriage.
"Master, the Criminal Department is here."
Xiao Mingxuan stretched out his hand and was about to step out of the carriage when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps and the rough shout of a man coming from around him.
"Hurry, hurry, look for him quickly. If you want to see him alive, you want to see his body."
Luo Jiuli, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a thump in his heart.
The eyelid of his right eye twitched twice.
"You wait in the car."
Xiao Mingxuan said nothing and strode out of the carriage.
Luo Jiuli clenched his fists, really not knowing what was happening outside?
But why is she a little uneasy?
She lifted the curtain of the car and saw soldiers walking in a hurry with swords at their waists.
The air was filled with tension and a desperate atmosphere, making people feel breathless.
"problem occurs."
This was the most intuitive feeling she had at this moment, and something big had happened.
The eyelid of his right eye fluttered twice more. Luo Jiuli covered his chest to calm himself down and jumped out of the carriage without hesitation.
At this time, at the entrance of the Criminal Department, Xiao Mingxuan walked in silently.
His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his elegant and picturesque eyebrows were dyed with a cool color. They were incompatible with the soldiers hurriedly holding weapons around him, but they were also intimidating.
"what happened?"
He spoke coldly.
"Ninth Prince, my subordinates deserve to die."
The commander of the Criminal Department in charge of the prison knelt on the ground.
"Half an hour ago, the jailor guarding the cell let go of Prince Zhao's concubine, Yan Tinglian, for some unknown reason."
Xiao Mingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent without saying a word. His face was cold and noble, and his whole body exuded a strong coercion that made people awe and believe in him.
"Where's the jailer?"
"In the main courtyard, the jailer went crazy and stabbed himself with a dagger. He's letting out more air than taking in. I'm afraid--"
Xiao Mingxuan didn't ask any more questions and walked inside.
Luo Jiuli took a look and followed him without saying a word.
The commander didn't seem to recognize Luo Jiuli and moved his arm forward to block him.
"Who are you? This is an important area of the Ministry of Justice, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission."
Luo Jiuli looked at the big man in front of him.
"I came here with the Ninth Prince."
Xiao Mingxuan, who was walking in front, heard Luo Jiuli's voice, stopped and said lightly:
"Let her in."
"yes."
The commander let him go.
Luo Jiuli caught up with him in a hurry.
"Yan Tinglian escaped from prison? How could she, a woman with no strength, escape from the Ministry of Punishment?"
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at her, his eyes cold.
"You have been in Prince Zhao's Mansion for seven months, and you really know nothing?"
Luo Jiuli pouted.
"Can you blame me? On the second day of the wedding, I was thrown into the cold garden. Even eating and drinking was a problem. How could I have the time to care about others?"
Xiao Mingxuan darkened his face after listening to her words, did not answer her words, and quickly entered the main courtyard.
As soon as the two entered the main courtyard, they saw a young man covered in blood lying under the steps of the lobby, with a dagger stuck in his chest and wearing a jailer's uniform.
At this time, the commander behind him pointed at the jailer and said:
"Your Majesty, he was the one who let Yan Tinglian go."
"This kid is usually the worst at martial arts, but today, for no apparent reason, four brothers captured him. They were originally going to tie him up for interrogation, but they didn't pay attention and let him stab his chest with a dagger.
.”
Luo Jiuli saw that the jailer's chest was stained red with blood, and then looked at his pale lips, which were almost bleeding, and took a few steps forward and squatted down next to him.
"The dagger did not hit the heart, but it was very close to the vital point."
"Your Majesty, he can still be saved. If he waits for just a moment longer, I'm afraid he won't be able to save him even if I take action."
While she was talking, she looked back at Xiao Mingxuan.
Xiao Mingxuan looked at her, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Are you sure you can save him?"
In this situation, with such a serious injury, even if the most senior doctor from the Tai Hospital came, he would not dare to boast that he could still save the patient.
When Luo Jiuli heard this, his face was slightly angry.
"If the prince continues to ask questions, even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to save him."
The implication is, why do you talk so much?
Xiao Mingxuan was startled, he didn't expect that she would dare to talk back to him.
