Chapter 266 Thin-skinned

He has hidden his strength for so long.

For today's matter, is it all going to be exposed?
Wang Zhi'er is not willing to think that he is the "confidante" in the red face when he is angry at the crown.

"No need, speaking of it, it's just that the cell door was set on fire, and it didn't burn," Wang Zhi'er said.

"I want to let them know that it's okay to offend anyone, but I can't touch you!" Li Jiong's young face showed a little sternness.

Wang Zhi'er lowered her head, her clothes were covered with smoke and dust from her body, and the black spot in the middle was her face.

He was apologizing to her, making up for the suffering she suffered at Wang Qikai's hands, and making up for his standing idly by that time.

Don't know what price to pay?
"No, I can take care of myself." Wang Zhi'er whispered, "Didn't you see Wang Guifei was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas came out of her body?"

Her snow-white face still had dust that had not been wiped clean, but her eyes were softer than ever, with watery radiance, like a puppy that was pityed and wet in a rainy night, longing for the care of its master, but its eyes were extremely stubborn.

Li Jiong immediately pulled her into his arms, "I will never stand still."

"Really?" Wang Zhi'er said in a muffled voice.

"must."

Only when he heard that Wang Feng'er blocked her at the prison door and set her on fire, did he know that if he lost her, everything he had would no longer be meaningful.

Showing her strength will spoil the emperor's favor and cause many unnecessary troubles, but if she can protect her, that's enough.

He embraced the dark ball in his arms silently, smelling the fragrance of fireworks on her body.

Only in her presence will his cleanliness disappear.

When Gu Hai heard the commotion in the room, he sighed in his heart. He moved the Black Cloud Rider today, which is to show some of the prince's strength in front of others, but he doesn't know what will happen.

If it wasn't for Wang Zhi'er, how could the prince be in such a passive position?

Thinking of this, Gu Hai sighed and saw Mu Shan coming from a distance, stopping him, "Don't go in."

Mu Shan asked, "How's it going inside?"

"What else can I do?" Gu Hai sighed, "This Princess Pingle will be our mistress from now on!"

Mu Shan was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that Da Shang sent the princess to make a marriage proposal? Or did the Empress Dowager Xiande personally ask the emperor? Choose two side concubines among the noble ladies, maybe Princess Pingle can be one of them?"

Gu Hai glanced at the room, quickly put his finger on his lips, and signaled him to silence, "Princess Pingle has committed a murder and is still locked up in the clan mansion. Is it her turn to be the side concubine?"

Mu Shan sighed, "That's true, Princess Pingle's reputation has been ruined, how can a prince choose a concubine who has lived in prison?"

Gu Hai snorted, "I'm going to trouble our lord to do everything possible!"

Mu Shan said: "You mean, the prince will find a way to give her a title?"

Gu Hai said: "What do you think?"

The two of them were muttering to each other when they heard the door open and Li Jiong came out. The two of them immediately saw that the moon white shirt on his body was covered in black stains, they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look again.

The prince is in a good mood, with a smile on his face, but you can't laugh at him.

Sometimes, the prince's face is quite thin.

Thin-skinned, will become angry from embarrassment!
The two grew up with Li Jiong and knew his temper very well.

Li Jiong glanced at them and said, "Okay, what are you doing with that ghostly appearance? Have you found all the people you were told to look for?"

This is asking about the impeachment of the censor tomorrow morning.

Gu Hai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I found it. This subordinate has already notified Mr. He of everything that happened in the prison cell. He is probably busy writing memorials right now."

Li Jiong nodded.

Mu Shan said: "My lord, the fire didn't start, it only burned some bedding and straw, look..."

Li Jiong said: "If it doesn't burn, let it burn. Remember, don't hurt people's lives!"

Mu Shan cupped his hands, "This subordinate understands."

He arranges it himself.

Li Jiong looked back into the room, Gu Hai was very discerning, and said, "Why don't you let Miss Hong Hong come over and let her accompany you?"

"Alright."

Seeing Li Jiong standing still, his eyes only staring at the room, Gu Hai recited Wang Zhier's ignorance in his heart over and over again, thinking that if the guests left, your master would also go out to see them off, right?
The prince is leaving, he saved you just now, he is your savior, why don't you come out to see him off?
Hiding in the house to hatch eggs!

Gu Hai coughed and raised his voice: "My lord, are we going back home now?"

Li Jiong gave a grunt, but still didn't move.

There was no movement in the house.

Gu Hai had no choice but to raise his voice again, "My lord, I heard that the capital has opened a new Lvsongfang dim sum shop. The dim sum there are all made of fruits. It's very special. Would you like some subordinates to send some here tomorrow? ?”

Before she finished speaking, Wang Zhi'er's little face appeared at the door... Obviously afraid of them leaving, she rushed out, and she said: "Send, send, send...My lord, you asked him to send it, right?"

The corners of Li Jiong's mouth turned upwards, and he nodded, "Since you like to eat, let him give it to you."

Gu Hai sweated silently.

Wang Zhi'er blinked her eyes and bowed to him politely, "The court lady will send the prince off respectfully."

Li Jiong nodded, "It's a good time to rest for the past few days, and this king will give you justice."

Wang Zhi'er said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord."

Gu Hai doubted that what she was thankful for was the dim sum from Green Pine Square.

Because he obviously watched her throat go up and down...that was swallowing.

Wang Zhier went too far.

Li Ji turned around and left.

In the evening, Hong Hong was sent over to live with Wang Zhi'er for the past few days as a protection, and the cell boss turned a blind eye to it.

Now he is busy. After Wang Guifei left, the whole cell was on fire, and thick smoke was rising from the roof. He was busy transferring the prisoners out and relocating them to new residences.

Fortunately, this large prison only detains serious offenders related to the royal family, so there are only about a dozen people locked up in the prison, and it is convenient to transfer them out.

Although the walls of the clan's mansion prison are made of stone, the roof is made of wood. Seeing the roof burnt up, and the thick smoke billowing in the air, even the imperial palace must be clearly visible.

The cell boss just sighed in his heart, it is okay to offend anyone, but never offend Ninth Prince Li Jiong.

Also don't offend Pingle Princess Wang Zhi'er.

As for how the roof of the cell burned, the cell boss decided not to ask. When someone asked, he talked about the conflict between Wang Guifei and Princess Pingle.

These two are from the Wang family, or two sisters, and they started arguing in prison. The Wang family is really as arrogant and domineering as outsiders say, and the house is a mess.

As soon as the cell boss raised his eyes, he saw the eldest son of the Wang family rushing over from a distance, and hurriedly turned to the side to salute: "Master Xiao Wang, are you here too?"

Wang Ziqin was still in charge of the fourth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Punishment. Li Jiong resumed his post, and he also resumed his original post, going to the Ministry of Punishment to work as an errand.

In the past few days, he has been trying his best to find out Wang Ruyun's death, but unfortunately, he has limited authority and Wang Qikai's thorough arrangements, so he can't find out anything.

Obviously, Wang Qikai had already been guarded against him.

The thick smoke rising from the prison of the clan mansion was seen by the entire capital, and some people even posted news outside, saying that the concubine Wang Guifei wanted to burn to death her eldest sister, Princess Pingle, so she went to the prison of the clan mansion in person and ordered her to die. Someone set fire to it!
The daughter of the Wang family was killed by another daughter, and then another daughter tried to kill the one locked in the prison.

This explosive news spread through the streets and alleys along with the thick smoke from the roof, and then reached Wang Ziqin's ears, scaring him to rush over.

Seeing the unprecedented respect from the cell boss, he was taken aback, "How is my sister?"

The prison boss smiled and said: "Don't worry, the hair is not damaged, and he lives in that house."

Wang Ziqin saw that this room was prepared for the family members of the clan manor officials, he was surprised, "Can she live here?"

Isn't she a criminal?

The cell boss understood what he meant, and smiled shyly, "It's our honor that Princess Pingle can live in this house. Don't worry, after the roof of this cell is repaired, the little one will definitely put the cell in this cell." Be comfortable, more comfortable than this house..."

Wang Ziqin: "..."

Wang Zhi'er in the room said: "Brother, you are here, come, I left you a bowl of soup..."

Wang Ziqin walked in one step, and saw Hong Hong and Wang Zhi'er each serving a bowl of soup, drinking happily, his stomach full of worries... even more worried.

Is this the last supper or what?

Wang Ziqin said: "Sister, what's the matter? Why did the second sister dare to come here from the palace to trouble you?"

Wang Zhi'er took a sip of the soup, motioned for Hong Hong to pass another bowl to Wang Ziqin, and said, "Who knows her, is she out of her mind?"

Wang Ziqin took the bowl and took a sip unconsciously. After drinking, he realized that it was really not suitable to eat and drink at this time, so he put down the bowl, frowned and said: "Sister, it's not you Are you mad?"

Wang Zhier was taken aback, thinking that they were brothers and sisters, but he guessed it.

Thinking about the situation just now, she was indeed angry.

Otherwise, how could Wang Feng'er be so stupid?

Of course she couldn't admit it, she blinked and said: "No, no, she brought a large number of people here, how can I be angry with her?"

Wang Ziqin also looked at his face and said, "Sister, you blink when you tell a lie... You must be angry! Sister, the murder case on your body is not over yet, why are you in conflict with your second sister... ... Hey, now our father will be even more ruthless!"

Wang Zhi'er lowered her head, finished the bowl of soup, and said, "When did he show mercy?"

Wang Ziqin said: "That's true." Then he said, "Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Xiande took our mother out of the mansion, otherwise, our mother would have died of anger."

Seeing that he thought of her mother, Wang Zhi'er felt a little bit emotional, but she didn't want to remind him that it was such a simple matter for the Xiande Empress Dowager to hold Mrs. Xie in her hands?
"Brother, you have checked for the past few days, but have you found anything?"

Wang Ziqin became worried, "No, you never touched Wang Ruyun that day, and she died in front of you. Logically speaking, she should have been poisoned, but no matter how hard I checked, she couldn't find any signs of poisoning. But he really hit the corner of the table and died of a ruptured liver and spleen, plus the death of the maid... Sister, what should I do?"
