Crazy criticizes the regent for reading my mind and his character collapses

Chapter 23 I am not so squeamish

The woman's voice was cold: "My husband."

"Ahem..." Nan Xi choked on the chestnut cake and coughed for a long time before digesting it.

A flash of mockery flashed in the woman's eyes, "Are you afraid? Then stay away from me."

She wanted to return the chestnut cake, but before she could raise her hand, she heard Nan Xi ask: "Then why did you kill him?"

Nan Xi talked a bit too much and couldn't help but think: "Did he have an extramarital affair? Did he beat you? Did he go to whoring? He was addicted to gambling and lost all his family property?"

The woman was a little surprised and asked her, "Aren't you afraid?"

Nan Xi ate chestnut cake and leaned back against the wall. Later, he felt that the wall was a little cold, so he moved forward again.

"What are you afraid of? I came in because I was suspected of murder. We are the same."

After a pause, she continued to ask: "Why did you kill your husband?"

The woman looked confused: "I don't know either."

Nan Xi: "?"

What is the answer?
She wanted to ask again, but the cell door opened.

There was a squeaking sound.

Immediately afterwards, there was the flattering voice of the jailer.

"My lord, please."

"The suspect is over here."

"Cough cough cough..." It was a familiar coughing sound.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Nan Xi looked up and saw Li Qingmo walking towards her with steady steps.

At this moment, Nan Xi felt that the villain was particularly friendly.

"My lord."

She pursed her lips, and her dark eyes were gleaming with excitement, as if she could cry at any time.

"You finally came."

The chestnut cake in my mouth was swallowed quickly.

"I'm scared to death. It's so cold here and the jailer is so fierce. He even has a whip and wants to beat me. Wuwuwu... I'm so scared..."

[Well, my acting skills today are also full marks. Look, even the villain was moved by me. 】

She quickly raised her eyes and glanced at the groveling jailer following Li Qingmo.

【snort!I asked you to scare me with a whip and take the lotus root and peony away. If anything happens to them, the villain will tear you alive. 】

Li Qing's dark eyes were pale.

This woman also knows how to worry about others.

"Open the door." He ordered.

The jailer didn't dare to disobey and quickly took out the key and opened the door. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead. At this time, he was extremely glad that the whip had not really hit Nan Xi before.

Who would have thought that such a plain-looking woman with an ugly birthmark on half her face would be related to the Prince Regent?
"My lord."

Nan Xi felt aggrieved and started to complain, pointing at the jailer: "He took the lotus and peony to who knows where, and left me here alone. It scared me to death, wuwuwu..."

Other prisoners in the cell: "..."

Why didn't they see why this woman was scared?

Especially the woman over there holding two pieces of chestnut cake, the surprise on her face could hardly be concealed.

Li Qingmo knew clearly that Nan Xi was faking it, but he still couldn't help but frown, and glanced at the jailer with his vicious eyes.

The jailer was so frightened that his legs weakened and he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, it is clear that the two girls were only interrogated by the adults, and the younger one did not touch them at all."

Nan Xi looked at Li Qingmo: "Your Majesty, we were wronged. The death of Aunt Hao and Uncle Hao had nothing to do with us."

[Will the villain believe me? 】

"My lord, do you believe me?" His watery eyes looked over again, making his heart feel numb and itchy.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Qingmo lowered his head, half-bent, and his heart and lungs were pounding. He didn't know whether it was because of the cough or something else.

Nan Xi thought for a moment and tentatively reached out to help him caress his back.

The moment their limbs touched, both of their bodies froze, but neither of them moved away.Nan Xi relied on his courage and his caressing movements became more and more smooth, "Your Majesty, this place is dark and humid, which is not good for your health. Let's leave first."

[The villain is delicate and frail. If the cold air enters his body and he falls ill, wouldn't my sin be great? 】

I guess this woman still has some conscience.

Li Qingmo turned around and walked out, coughing intermittently. Nan Xi was worried and followed his steps, patting his back from time to time and paying attention to whether there was blood from the corners of his lips.

Jingzhao Yintang rushed over after hearing the news and knelt down to salute Li Qingmo at the door of the cell.

"The next official sees the Regent."

"Ahem..." Li Qingmo coughed again, his voice seemed to be trembling, "No courtesy."

Nan Xi quickly put her hand on his back, "My lord, do you have any cough medicine with you?"

Li Qingmo: "No."

Xia Rui, who was about to take out the medicine: "..."

So does he take it or not?

Nan Xi felt a little sorry for the villain, "Your Majesty is weak. Even if you forget, the people around you should think of preparing medicine for you. What if something happens outside?"

Li Qingmo nodded: "Well, they failed in their duty."

Xia Rui: "..."

So angry.

Can't say anything.

Jing Zhaoyin bowed to Li Qing Mo Zuo and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Nan Xi is in danger of two lives and cannot be released for the time being."

His heart was trembling when he said this.

But there was no way, it was about human lives, and he had to make an explanation to the people.

"I didn't kill anyone." Nan Xi defended.

Jing Zhaoyin: "But several people saw you entering and leaving the deceased's house, so you are indeed suspicious."

Li Qingmo did not make things difficult for Jing Zhaoyin: "Ahem... I am just taking her to investigate the case. If Lord Tang is worried, you can go with us."

"Yes." Jing Zhaoyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The prince's words already gave him a lot of face. Besides, he was just investigating and the suspect was still within his sight, so it was not considered favoritism.

"Where is the body now?" Li Qingmo asked.

"It's in the government office." Jing Zhaoyin turned around and led them.

Along the way, Nan Xi's hand never left Li Qingmo's back.

"Cough cough cough..." Coughs sounded from time to time.

Nan Xi sighed lightly.

[To be honest, the villain was pretty good to me. Even though he felt so uncomfortable, he still insisted on helping me investigate this case and took me out of that cold cell. 】

Thinking of this, Nan Xi moved closer to Li Qingmo and supported Li Qingmo with his hands.

"My lord, walk slowly. Walking too fast will aggravate your cough."

[It seems that I have to prescribe him some powerful cough medicine, otherwise it will make his lungs cough up all the time, which sounds terrible. 】

Li Qingmo raised the corners of his lips slightly, covered it with a brocade handkerchief, and coughed twice more.

The morgue was a bit cold, so Nan Xi asked Xia Rui to get a cloak for Li Qingmo to put on.

The ink made his skin color paler.

[I really want to touch it, it must feel good. 】

Li Qingmo: "..."

This woman!
"Cough cough cough..." His face turned red from coughing, spreading behind his ears, startling Xia Rui beside him.

Xia Rui: "Your Majesty, it's too cold here. Why don't you wait outside."

Nan Xi also agreed.

Li Qingmo shook his head: "No need, I am not that squeamish."

After he finished speaking, there was another light cough.
