Cheng Qianye got up and turned around and waved at Yu Dunsu and Xiao Jin.

"General Yu," she looked at Yu Dunsu, "to tell the truth. In today's army, the only people I can fully trust are the three of you present."

"Today I trust Qiaosheng. If someone else will frame you in front of me in the future, I will trust you like that."

Yu Dunsu knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists with both hands: "The last general is thanking the Lord for your kindness."

Cheng Qianye said: "I have discussed with Xiao Sikou, and it is impossible for Qiaosheng to do this, but as for who is behind the instigation, who is framing the blame, and how many people are involved. We don't know yet."

"But since he did this, he always has his own purpose. So I can only rely on you guys to help me find out the real murderer. It's just that I may have to grieve Qiaosheng to stay here for a while."

She turned around, but saw Mo Qiaosheng hanging his head, motionless.

"Qiaosheng? What's wrong?"

Cheng Qianye bent down, and she saw the moonlight shining on Mo Qiaosheng's face, and a clear tear appeared on her face.

oops. Cheng Qianye sighed in his heart.

She waved Yu Dunsu and Xiao Jin out.

His hands gently held Mo Qiaosheng's face.

"Why are you crying?"

The face with a red nose quivered gently in her hands.

Clear tears rolled down from the corners of the closed eyes one after another.

Thin lips were pressed together tightly, refusing to let out a sound.

In this way, he cried silently in Cheng Qianye's hands.

Cheng Qianye never knew that a man could cry so beautifully, and it moved her heart so much.

She patiently wiped his tears over and over again.

"Don't cry, Qiaosheng, don't cry."

...

When it was dawn, the door of the cell was opened, and Xiao Xiu walked down the steps carrying a basket of food.

He said to the yawning Yu Dunsu: "General Yu has worked hard. The lord ordered me to bring some food to the prisoners. The general has not slept all night, do you want to eat some snacks to cushion your stomach?"

Yu Dunsu yawned: "Dim sum is not necessary. In that case, you watch him eat, let me take a nap first."

Xiao Xiu said with a smile, "General just take a rest, I don't mind if you think about the next time for the general."

Yu Dunsu was unceremonious, bowed his hands, found two benches and put them together, and fell on top, and after a while, there was a whirring sound.

Xiao Xiu got into the cell, took out the food from the basket, and put it in front of Mo Qiaosheng.

"Do you want to eat?"

Mo Qiaosheng stared at him for a moment: "It was you, why did you do this? Do you... hate me?"

Xiao Xiu lowered her eyelashes: "No, I don't hate you."

Mo Qiaosheng looked at him puzzled.

"I have a question and I have to know the answer, and I will do anything for it."

"doubt?"

"You tell me. You must know, right?" Xiao Xiu raised her eyes and looked directly at Mo Qiaosheng, "As long as you tell me the truth, I will go and tell the lord that you are wronged, and I can prove that the bottle of poison is not Yours. So you can go back to the lord."

"Know what?" Mo Qiaosheng felt very puzzled.

"You know, you absolutely know! If you don't want to die, just tell me!" Xiao Xiu was excited, he grabbed Mo Qiaosheng's collar, "You are so close to the lord, tell me, the lord, is he? …”

Xiao Jin stepped out of his hiding place and interrupted him.

"catch him!"

Several armored soldiers rushed into the house and pushed Xiao Xiu, who was in a panic, to the ground and tied it up.

Chapter 20

Xiao Jin brought Xiao Xiu, who was tied up with five flowers, into the room and threw it in front of Cheng Qianye.

He waved the crowd away and said with a cold face, "This guy may know."

When Xiao Xiu heard this, she suddenly raised her head to look at Cheng Qianye,

"You, are you not the lord?"

"Who are you? You...is Princess Chiba!"

Cheng Qianye leaned back on the chair, looked at him for a while with his sleeves up, and closed his eyelashes, acquiescing.

She looked at the pink color that had always existed on Xiao Xiu's body, and it instantly faded away like water, and a color of sadness and despair filled her.

"So, what about the son?" He lowered his head and asked softly.

In fact, he already knew the answer in his heart.

Cheng Qianye couldn't bear to see the dazzling pain, she avoided her eyes, "Brother, he has passed away for a long time."

"Yes... is it?"

"In the chaos of Zhongmu, my elder brother was poisoned and killed by Young Master Zhang. I had no choice but to replace him. I have already killed my enemy. Avenging my elder brother's hatred." Cheng Qianye told the truth truthfully.

Xiao Xiu froze on the ground.

He recalled the Zhongmu Rebellion.

At that time, the lord went to the banquet, but did not take him with him.

When he heard the rumor that the lord died of poisoning, he rushed over in a hurry,

Xiao Sikou had already sealed off the lord's bedroom and only allowed the lord's mother, Mrs. Yang, and the pregnant Xu Ji to enter.

Fortunately, the lord appeared safely in the end. Not only did he control the situation and defeat the enemy, but what surprised him even more was that since then, the lord rarely favored others, only brought him by his side, and treated him extraordinarily. gentle.

For a while he was secretly delighted.

It turned out that at that time the lord

Is it no longer.

How could I be so stupid, he said to himself.

Although Princess Chiba was kind to me, she was obviously alienated. There was so much wrong with her that I blindfolded myself and pretended not to see.

Xiao Xiu remembered the first time he saw the lord, the beautifully dressed young man jumped off the horse and squatted in front of himself, who was hungry and cold, "Is there a child no one wants? Poor. How about going home?"

I'm still immersed in the fantasy of happiness every day, I can't think of that person, who has been dead for so long.

"Tell me, who ordered you to poison? Your original target was me, right?"

Cheng Qianye's voice seemed to come from an ethereal place.

Xiao Xiu returned to his senses, and he moved his body to make himself kneel.

"The Marquis of Weibei was the one who instructed me. He asked the slave named A Feng to give me a box of gold and a bottle of poison. He asked me to poison the lord and let me come to him after he promised to do it." Xiao Xiu He sneered and continued to confess, "Besides me, they also bought Ah You and Xu Jia who were serving in the hall as support."

"I have doubted you for a long time, Princess Chiba, but you are so kind to me that I can't help but believe that all this is true. Until the appearance of Mo Qiaosheng, he made me feel the crisis, and also Made me realize more clearly what's wrong here."

"But no matter how close I get with Mo Qiaosheng, he keeps your secrets tight. This time Weibeihou sent someone to look for me. When I saw this opportunity, I wanted to take the opportunity to blame Qiaosheng and coerce him to tell me. I'm the truth. I didn't really mean to poison you, princess."

He knocked on the ground with his forehead: "But Xiaoxiu's crime is still unforgivable and irrefutable. Please, the princess, grant me a death."

Cheng Qianye frowned. He was so frankly frank that he just wanted to die quickly.

"You don't want to live anymore? You want to be buried for your brother?"

Cheng Qianye didn't quite understand. In her memory, the older brother of the original owner was not only mediocre and chaotic in his private life, but also had a very irritable temper, beating and scolding others at every turn.

It's only slightly better than Wei Beihou's pervert. I can't think of anyone who really likes him, to the point of sacrificing life and death.

"Do you really like your brother that much?"

Xiao Xiu gave a wry smile, "I know that many people privately say that the lord is not a good monarch. He is not as talented as the old man, and he is not even as smart as you, Princess Qianye. But I..."

He seemed to be lost in memory and muttered:

"When I was a child, my family was poor and I often couldn't get enough to eat. I was thin and easy to get sick, and I was a child of a burdened parent."

"One day, Dad suddenly stopped beating and scolding me. He even took me to Jiangcheng to watch juggling with me. After playing all day, he bought me a candy man like never before. In the end, he touched me. head, and told me to wait for him at a street corner."

"I waited for a long time and didn't dare to leave, but Dad never came back. It was the young master who picked me up from the roadside, who was about to starve to death."

Xiao Xiu raised his head, his eyes lit up, he stared at Cheng Qianye's face, as if he wanted to see the person he longed for through this face.

"Master, he is actually a gentle person. He never pushes others, and rarely hits me. If he gets angry, as long as I beg him, he will forgive me."

"He often told me that he, like me, was a child who was not liked by his parents. He wanted to be a good lord and run the country well. But no matter how hard he tried, everyone looked down on him and thought he had a bad character and a bad head. Not smart enough, so he's getting more and more anxious."
