Chapter 55
In Shenghe Temple, the courtyard left with Jiang Huaiyang, the door is half closed.

Ruan Yuyi raised her skirt and stepped forward. Seeing that it was her, the guards still kept their eyes on the front, as if they couldn't see her, but stepped aside a step.

But she didn't go in immediately, but stopped in front of the half-closed door.Through the three-finger-wide gap in the door, one could vaguely see the Buddhist hall, but it was dark inside, and because it was blocked, candlelight and incense could not be seen.

No matter how many, it will be invisible.

Xu Shi saw an empty scene in front of her eyes, and there was no one in the gap between the doors, so she suddenly felt empty.

She suspected that the son was still not around, she was afraid that she was just a dispensable role to him, and what she had done in the past few days would be in vain.She was afraid that she would be left alone again.

So I didn't dare to go in.

The guard had just been on duty today, so he felt strange, since His Majesty had clearly explained that this girl was allowed to enter through the main entrance, why didn't she just go in?
The guard glanced at her, and saw her leaning slightly, with white hair and snow skin, carefully looking inside, clearly not doing anything, which made people feel pity.He couldn't see it, so he said, "Girl, you just go in, Mr. Wen has been waiting for you for half an hour."

Ruan Yuyi didn't expect him to talk to her, so she smiled restrainedly, nodded slightly, and pushed open the door.

Apart from the Buddhist hall, all the scenes inside were also shown to her, the wing room with the door closed, the banyan trees with thousands of red silk hanging down, and the clean stone tables and chairs. Only then did she feel that her feet had landed on the real place.

Seeing that it was her, Wen Zhi came up to greet her, and gave a slight bow, "Miss Ruan. The master has been busy a few days ago and was not free, please take care of me. The younger one will still accompany the master in the next few days."

I hope this girl doesn't mind, it's better to come here as usual and spend more time with the master.After all, since she appeared, the symptoms of Master Duomeng have indeed alleviated a lot.

Seeing that the master's body is recovering, and his disposition seems to be milder, these servants are freed from the daily fear.

"Where is Mr. Wen?" she said.

He glanced at her quietly, and as expected, he didn't see any annoyance from her, but instead showed a shallow smile, his heart relaxed.

So he went on to say, "Master has been busy with the assassin's affairs recently, and it is also the master's order that the younger one come here today.

"I'm ashamed to say that when I was escorting the assassin, I told him to run away. Although there were many people who had seen the assassin, he was masked. I have to trouble you to identify one or two of them to see if he is right. I have some impression of the figure."

Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi immediately recalled, she was so frightened by the situation at that time, she really didn't have a good impression of it.But since it was the son's request, she still complied.

So several people went to Jingzhao Mansion together.

Ruan Yuyi raised her skirt, put Mu Xiang's hand on her, got out of the carriage, and Jingzhao Mansion was in front of her.The red walls and black tiles, and the inscribed gold characters on the plaque are two stories high, which is actually more than the trees on one side, and it is majestic.

Wen Zhi walked in front of her in small steps, and led her to knock on the door. The guard at the door bowed his head slightly to show respect when he saw the person coming.

After passing the corridor all the way, turn into a narrow stone gate, which only allows one person to pass through.

Looking around, the inside is really very dark, with a lot of wet moss crawling under the corner of the wall, and thick iron chains nailed to the wall as handrails.

This is a dungeon where death row prisoners are temporarily held. Jingzhao Mansion has its own particularity due to its jurisdiction over the capital city, so it can avoid the joint trial of the three divisions and sentence the death penalty in court.But Ruan Yuyi, a woman in a boudoir, has never been in such a place, even if she was only invited to identify her.

She hesitated on the outermost step.

Wen Zhi realized that she hadn't followed, so he turned around and said, "Miss Ruan, the master is waiting inside. Besides, the ground inside is dirty and rarely cleaned, so I hope you be careful."

She glanced at the steps under her feet, nodded slightly, and then raised her skirt to go in, while Mu Xiang followed behind her.

I don't know how many turns, the steps finally bottomed out.In front of him was an open space with four mats, and there was only one square table and four benches.There are several prison cells on three sides.

Not far away, a young man in black clothes stood with his hands behind his back, his ink hair was like a waterfall, and his aura was awe-inspiring.

She went up with Wen Zhi, bowed gracefully, and said softly, "Your Highness."

But Jiang Huaiyang turned around and hummed in a low voice.

He stared at her. There were only a few candles on the wall, but the silver butterflies in her hair reflected the sparkling light. Her Majesty's voice seemed to turn into a jade bead. He could feel that he There were ripples in my heart.

He looked away, "You have also had close contact with that assassin, but do you still remember his characteristics?"

"May I have a look, Your Highness?" She asked tentatively.

Jing Zhaoyin on the side was also surprised when he noticed this young lady with outstanding looks.Although she was a little surprised by what she called the new emperor, she still took the initiative to say, "Girl, people are here."

Seeing the look on the new emperor's face, he actually vaguely understood why His Majesty took this case personally this time.Therefore, at this moment, he almost regarded Ruan Yuyi as his rescuer, so he was more considerate.

Ruan Yuyi glanced at Jiang Huaiyang subconsciously, and asked him what he meant.

He was so looked at that his heart suddenly softened, and a strange thought came to his mind - she was relying on him.After he nodded slightly, she was led by Jing Zhaoyin.

I don't know if it's to save some candles or what, but there are only a few candle lamps around the cell, which is even darker than outside.There are iron bars on both sides, black and black, and it is only vaguely discernible whether there are people living inside.

Suddenly, Ruan Yuyi felt a small shadow flashing under her feet, she gasped, and dodged to the side, just in time to bump into a hard chest.

She subconsciously apologized softly, but she heard Jiang Huaiyang's voice above her head, "Afraid?" He seemed to sneer.

Her face flushed, and she also felt that she had made a fuss.This is a prison, and it is built underground. After all, it is humid, so it is normal to have more rats and ants.

She didn't make a sound, moved away a little bit, and then continued to walk forward.When he reached the innermost room, Jing Zhaoyin stopped.The clerk on the side hurriedly lit the lamp on the wall.

This time the vision becomes clearer.

The cell was only covered with some straw, nothing else, and the ground looked a little wet, soaking the ground into a dark color.Although it has only been half a day, the person sitting against the wall inside is already wearing prison clothes, and he is no longer covering his face.

With a broad face and straight nose, he raised a pair of hawk-like eyes, staring at the few people, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"It's him. This matter is of great importance, girl, so you can reminisce." Jing Zhaoyin's words carried the meaning of guidance.

If we can start with this person, if it goes well, maybe we can find out the hands behind the manipulation, and maybe uproot the entire force.This is a great achievement.

Ruan Yuyi knew that this matter was important, but being stared at by those eyes, she just felt a little terrified, the cold light kept flashing back in her mind, and even her arm, which was already completely covered, seemed to be aching.

But the more other people showed the importance of her identification, the more confused she became.
