Will succeed

Hearing Mu Xi's words, Jing Xi's eyes lit up. Mu Xi, as a grand tutor, must have had many good things for so many years. He can ask Tian Ya if he needs anything and just go to Mu Xi to get it. Saved a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Jingxi looked at Mu Xi with more eager eyes: "In that case, this junior will thank the Grand Tutor."

Mu Xi was funny, and she didn't know who to thank.

The two walked and talked all the way, and they also left the palace unknowingly.After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Jingxi realized that he had spoken a lot with the Taifu today, most of which were about Fu Li.

Thinking that Fu Li would be afraid of the dark, Jing Xi couldn't help laughing.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Jingxi did not go to visit Fu Li immediately, but came to Tianya's residence.Without saying hello, Jingxi walked into the courtyard where Tianya lived.

"Hey, are you there?"

"Can't you be a little polite?" A slightly old voice came from the room.For some reason, Jingxi felt that Tianya was a little powerless at the moment.

Pushing open the door, Tian Ya didn't sit by the window to feel the sunlight like before, but sat at the table and studied something.Jingxi was puzzled, and went in to have a look, but saw many bottles and jars with no marks on them, and he didn't know what they were used for.

"what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Tian Ya didn't even raise his head, and concentrated on fiddled with the things in his hands: "As you can see, I'm doing whatever you think I'm doing."

Jingxi smiled, wanting to satirize Tianya, but thinking of Fu Li's situation, he held back.Speaking of Fu Li, Jing Xi seemed to have guessed why Tian Ya did what he did.

"This is... the medicine prepared for Fu Li?"

Tianya didn't answer, but Jingxi knew he had guessed right.Thinking that Tian Ya was worrying about Fu Li's affairs, Jing Xi didn't bother him anymore, because he really wanted to see Fu Li wake up soon.

Looking at those things again, Jingxi suddenly smelled a bloody smell, but seeing Tianya's serious look, Jingxi gave up the idea of ​​asking, and went out quietly.

Unexpectedly, just after leaving the courtyard, someone came to report that Mr. Mu had passed the residence.Although the reason was unknown, Jingxi still asked someone to invite Mu Xi in and wait on him well.

Entering the reception room, Jing Xi clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Not long after we separated, the Grand Tutor came to the door. I don't know why the Grand Tutor came here this time?"

Sitting on a chair, Mu Xi sipped tea, unable to tell what he was thinking: "The emperor in the court asked me to investigate the case of Concubine Gu, it was unavoidable, so I came here."

Jingxi raised his eyebrows. He thought that Mu Xi would just find an excuse to cover it up after he had said that to the emperor.Unexpectedly, Mu Xi really wanted to investigate this matter.

As soon as he saw Jingxi's appearance, Mu Xi knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but secretly sighed that Jingxi's morality was still shallow.So, Mu Xi slowly explained: "I know what you are thinking. Although the old man said that, it does not mean that the emperor does not want to know the truth. Now that Fu Li is there, the truth must not be known to the emperor." Yes, but if you want to hide it from the emperor, you need to find some solid reasons. The old man came to investigate today, which means that the final answer will not have too much water."

Jingxi was stunned, and at the same time he was a little embarrassed. He touched his head, and the action looked very funny: "This junior thinks superficially, so I don't know where the master will start to investigate?"

"Ring."

Although it was just two words, it was enough to surprise Jingxi.No one is clear about the cause of this matter, but Mu Xi has said the key point in one word, which shows how powerful Mu Xi is.

Led Mu Xi, Jing Xi went to the dark room.

There is no sunlight in the dark room, only a faint candlelight.The candlelight was flickering, mixed with the smell of blood, which actually made the dark room more terrifying.

The so-called dark room was originally used as a place for Li Jue's subordinates to be punished for their mistakes, but now it has become a place for interrogating prisoners.But there is no way, for the secrecy of the matter, only here is more suitable.

All the servants who saw Pei Yuru murder, or Pei Yuru's original servants, were sent to this place.

Some people are more timid. Seeing others being tortured, they are so frightened that they lose control of themselves.Therefore, in this dark room, there is not only the smell of blood, but also a lingering smell of urine.

Jing Xi covered her nose lightly, but seeing that Mu Xi turned a blind eye to these things and didn't even change her eyes, she felt that she was being too hypocritical, so she put down her hands, enduring these smells and walked in front of a woman.

The woman was tied to the rack, her clothes became filter-like, and the bloodstains had completely destroyed her delicate skin.Her head drooped, as if fainted.

Jingxi pointed at her and said, "Teacher, this is Huan'er."

Mu Xi nodded, signaling to the guards next to him to wake up Huan'er.The guard saw Mu Xi's gaze and knew what it meant, so he took a bucket of cold water and poured it on Huan'er fiercely.

Slowly, Huan'er moved her fingers, and then raised her head.The moment she saw the person coming, Huan'er showed a mocking smile, but it was quickly covered up.

Hanging her head again, Huan'er expressed that she didn't want to see them.

Seeing this, the guard walked to Huan'er's side and pinched her chin, forcing her to look at Mu Xi and the two of them.

Mu Xi waved her hand to let the guard release her, and then said: "What a girl, why bother to be like this? If you are willing to tell everything you know, then this old man can give you a way to survive."

Huan'er didn't answer, her face had an expression called disdain, Jingxi was about to speak, but Huan'er suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, making people creepy: "Hahaha, Mu Xi, you are so naive, don't you?" Say I don’t know anything, even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you!”

Hearing this, Jingxi yelled: "Presumptuous, how can you call the name of Taifu directly? If you tell the reason of the matter, we can let you live. Don't be stubborn!"

Hearing this, Huan'er's expression suddenly became sad, with incomprehensible sadness in his eyes: "Hehe, Mr. Jing, don't lie to me."

Huan'er spoke softly, but Mu Xi still heard it.From Huan'er's reaction, Mu Xi seemed to have guessed something, he called Jingxi aside, and said softly, "Master Jing, this Huan'er seems to be interested in you?"

Mu Xi's words were very straightforward, Jingxi blushed suddenly, and even stammered a little: "Tai...Teacher, what are you...joking? I have never met her before, so how could... "

Before he could speak, Mu Xi stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Lord Jing, this is not the time to be entangled in these things. Huan'er is the princess's personal servant girl, she must know a lot of things, now she refuses to say anything, if Mr. Jing is willing to sacrifice a bit, things may not be without room for change!"

Of course, Jing Xi knew very well what sacrifice meant in this sentence, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.Jing Xi still couldn't accept the method Mu Xi said, and he didn't expect that the serious Mu Xi would think of such a trick!

Just as he was about to refuse, Mu Xi spoke again. At this moment, there was a trace of helplessness in his tone: "At this point in the matter, I think Mr. Jing was interrogated for a long time before coming to Mr. Jing, right? If there is no more result, then Fu Li... ..."

Mu Xi didn't finish his sentence, he believed that Jingxi could understand what he meant, and he also believed that Jingxi would definitely agree this time!

Sure enough, as soon as the word Fu Li came out, Jing Xi hesitated.As Mu Xi said, this matter has dragged on for so long, and he has exhausted all means, but Huan'er still doesn't say anything.

Perhaps, the method Mu Xi said can be tried.

Then, for Fu Li's safety, Jing Xi gritted his teeth and agreed to Mu Xi.

The two of them returned to Huan'er, but they didn't rush to use the agreed-upon method. Some things had to be done step by step. "Miss Huan'er, you are the girl next to the Crown Princess. I heard that the Crown Princess treats you very well. Now that something has happened to the Crown Princess, don't you want to do something for her?"

In fact, when Mu Xi said these words, he didn't have the extravagant hope that Huan'er would be moved by them.If Huan'er was really grateful to Pei Yuru, he would have exonerated her from the very beginning instead of not saying a word after several tortures.

As expected, not only did Huan'er not show a worried expression, but she became more ferocious the moment she heard Pei Yuru: "Hahaha, thank you, why should I be grateful to her? People say that Taifu Muxi has the kindness that ordinary people have. An incomprehensible mind is sure about everything. Now it seems that the rumors are false!"

Huan'er's insults didn't hurt Mu Xi at all. In his opinion, Huan'er was just at the end of her battle at the moment and couldn't cause any big disturbance.

Of course, just because Mu Xi can endure these things doesn't mean that Jing Xi can also turn a blind eye to them.Originally wanted to reprimand Huan'er, but thought of the strategy to use, Jing Xi forced himself to look like she was pity her: "Huan'er, are you really unwilling to say it?"

Huan'er keenly sensed the changes in Jingxi, she stared blankly at Jingxi, tears rolled down her eyes unconsciously: "Master Jing, do you know, how long have I wanted to see your expression like this?"

Hearing this, Jingxi felt that he had a lot of goosebumps. In order not to affect Jingxi, Mu Xi went out when Jingxi said that.

Now there are only Jingxi and Huan'er left here, Jingxi can't help but panic.

"Huan'er, I..." Before he could finish speaking, Huan'er suddenly interrupted Jing Xi: "Master Jing, you don't need to say more, but I know that you are just trying to tell me the truth. It's ridiculous that I know After your purpose, I still can't help liking you."

Huan'er paused for a moment, her eyes dimmed with tears: "Master Jing, maybe I haven't appeared in your mind, but I fell in love with you the first time I saw you in the Prince's Mansion. Maybe you think I'm Shameless, but I feel that I will not live long, if I don’t speak out today, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance.”

"Master Jing, can I call you Axi?"
