Cut Frost

Chapter 89.
While searching for Yu'er's breath, You Jue made calculations in his mind: Xiao Hengqi is not the point of this matter.

Xiao Hengfeng's crime of deceiving the emperor, but this weight is not enough.

If evidence can be found to prove that Xiao Hengnian killed Songyin, then Xiao Hengnian committed murder—but such weight should not be enough to completely shake the Xiao family.

If it's not enough to completely shake the Xiao family, it won't be a powerful bargaining chip. To me, it doesn't make any difference who goes to jail and who makes a crime.

On the contrary, if Xiao Hengqi is proved innocent and he is taken out, it will become an obstacle for the third princess and Chi Lin, causing Yu'er to be unhappy in vain.

It seems that there is no need to pursue this matter.

However, whether what Xiao Hengfeng said is true or not cannot be asserted.

From the current point of view, the most important thing is to ensure Yu'er's safety first.

You Jue quietly followed Yu'er and his party all the way, and sure enough there were a few little demons following Yu'er and the others.

"Why don't you eat Ningshuang Wan?" You Jue frowned.

It is necessary to clear the demon by hand.

These are just a few little demons who are not in the right place, and they died on the spot in a flash of white light.

Yu'er felt Zhu's resentment, but it was only for a moment, and then disappeared again.

Turning around and looking, I saw the mountains and trees swaying in the wind, but there was no lonely figure.

But he must have come.

Kurihara looked back at Yu'er standing there motionless, and asked, "Yu'er, why didn't you leave?"

Yu'er turned around and said with a smile, "Let's go."

*********
Chi Lin went to Xiao's mansion again and found Xiao Hengfeng.

Xiao Hengfeng handed him a dossier.

When I opened it, it was recorded that Meng Fuman was originally the son of a drug dealer. His family was in decline, and he donated the remaining money from his ancestors to a drug official. Half a year later, he was promoted to a drug supervisor.

"How does Ziyu know such a person?" Chi Lin looked at the file and became more puzzled.

"Yes." Xiao Hengfeng also said.

"Second Brother Xiao, have you visited Ziyu?" Chi Lin asked Xiao Hengfeng.

Xiao Hengfeng nodded.

"Did he say anything?" Chi Lin asked.

"He didn't say anything." Xiao Hengfeng said.

"Don't you think this is absurd?" Chi Lin frowned.

"Ridiculous?" Xiao Hengfeng looked at him in a daze.

"Isn't it strange that two people who couldn't possibly know each other suddenly had an enmity and became like this?" Chi Lin said.

"Changfeng, there are many incredible things in this world." Xiao Hengfeng said.

"Second brother Xiao?" Chi Lin looked at him in surprise, "How do you say such a thing?"

"What I mean is that the relationship between people may really be a matter of destiny." Xiao Hengfeng said, "Please worry about the third brother."

"Destiny? What exactly is destiny?" Chi Lin said, "Does Second Brother Xiao have any idea about Ziyu?"

"Me? Not at all." Xiao Hengfeng said.

"Then I'll bother you next time." Chi Lin said.

After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to Xiao Hengfeng.

Chi Lin came to Maoyuan Inn, but Yu'er and Li Yuan were not there.

"The young master has already said that if anyone comes to visit, he will only come back in the evening." The shopkeeper came out and said to Chi Lin.

"Alright." Chi Lin said.

After leaving the Maoyuan Inn, Chi Lin came to Meng Fuman's residence again.

The gate is still locked, and the courtyard is as messy as before.

Chi Lin couldn't get in, and walked around the street for a while, only to feel that his mind was messed up.

This fact is absurd, but I don't know where I am wrong.

Before I knew it, I still walked back to the Maoyuan Inn, and simply sat downstairs and waited.

About an hour passed before Yu'er and others turned around.

You Jue naturally followed him back to the city.

At this moment, Yu'er entered the inn, and Youjue Zizi found a restaurant not far away to drink for himself, while paying attention to Yu'er's situation.

Seeing Yu'er waiting to turn around, Chi Lin quickly went up to him: "Miss Yu'er, where are you coming from?"

"I went to the eastern suburbs." Yu'er said.

"Eastern suburb? Is there something wrong?" Chi Lin asked.

"Just find a doctor." Kurihara said.

Tell Chi Lin what Hu Sixi said.

"I see." Chi Lin nodded.

"I went to the eastern suburbs, and I found that doctor, surnamed Cai and named Yaozhi, who cured the old beggar's strange disease." Li Yuan said.

"It seems that what Hu Sixi said is true." Chi Lin said.

Yu'er also nodded, and asked again: "What about Meng Fuman?"

When Chi Lin told about Meng Fuman, Yu'er and Li Yuan shook their heads.

How can such two people get together?
The three talked for a while, but they had no clue.

You Jue knew that they were talking about Xiao Hengqi's case, but he didn't want to talk too much, so he drank his own wine.

After walking for most of the day, Xiao Mi was very tired and fell asleep lying on the table.

After they finished talking, Chi Lin went back to the mansion.

Yu'er and the others rested at the inn.

Another day passed, and no one from the Meng family came to visit, and it seems that they still haven't come back.

A few people have no new clues.

Xiao Mi was very bored, so he made trouble with Yu'er to go shopping in the street, and when he saw something new, he would hold on to it.

Yu'er can't help but play with her once.

Kurihara also followed.

The three of them just played in the market, and when they returned to the Maoyuan Inn, they saw Chi Lin looking at the door from a distance, with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing the three of them, they greeted them hurriedly.

"Captain Chi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing his anxious expression, Yu'er couldn't help asking.

"I can't enter the palace today, can you help me meet the third princess?" Chi Lin asked anxiously.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Kurihara asked curiously beside him.

"Second prince, something happened..." Chi Lin's face was solemn and his voice was low.

Seeing him like this, Yu'er and Li Yuan hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"He, went to the mountain to pick herbs and fell off the cliff..." Chi Lin paused after speaking halfway.

"Fall off a cliff?!" Yu'er said anxiously, "What's the matter?"

Kurihara frowned beside him.

"Yeah, Brother Chi, did he get hurt?" Xiao Mi also said, "However, you don't have to worry too much, Sister Qingyi is a genius doctor, she can definitely cure him!"

"He's dead..." Chi Lin said in a deep voice.

"This, how could it be..." Yu'er couldn't believe it.

"Brother Chi, did you make a mistake?" Xiao Mi couldn't believe it.

"Express reports have come from Xuanzhou that the coffin is already on the way and will arrive in Beijing in seven days." Chi Lin said.

At this time, Chengjing Palace was in chaos.

"Concubine Cheng, Concubine Cheng!" Fen He and Lu Li called repeatedly, but Concubine Cheng closed her eyes tightly, unconscious.

"Go to the Imperial Medical Hall and invite Dr. Shen to come!" Lu Li hurriedly said to Fen He.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Fen He responded and ran out immediately.

"Mother..." Ning Jia hurried over all the way, only to see Concubine Cheng lying straight on the bed, and when she called out, tears were already falling like rain.

Emperor Yongping had also arrived, and all the court ladies hurriedly knelt down to receive him.

"Father." Ning Jia also bowed to Emperor Yongping.

Emperor Yongping patted her on the shoulder and said, "Ning Jia, how is your mother?"

"Mom, she hasn't woken up yet." Ning Jia said, tears rolling down again.

"Have you gone to call for a doctor?" Emperor Yongping asked Lu Li.

"Yes, Dr. Shen has already been invited." Lu Li hurriedly replied.

After a while, Dr. Shen came and checked the pulse with Concubine Cheng, took out the needle, and pricked it in the temple and in the middle of the chest. After waiting for a while, Concubine Cheng opened her eyes.

"Xichang..." Concubine Cheng opened her mouth and called out, tears streaming down her face.

"Mother..." Ning Jia sat on the side of the bed and hugged Concubine Cheng, mother and daughter crying together.

Emperor Yongping stepped forward to embrace the two of them, weeping too.

Empress Yizhuang and other concubines have also arrived at Chengjing Palace.

Seeing Emperor Yongping here, the three of them were in such a state again that it was inconvenient for them to speak, and they also cried with them.

The whole palace did not hear his words, only the sound of mournful weeping.

"Mother, something happened to the second brother, why don't you go and have a look?"

In Jingye Palace, Ning Yang said to Concubine Ye.

"Go, of course!" Concubine Ye sneered, "I want to see what happened to her now."

After finishing speaking, she put on her makeup in front of the mirror, got up and pulled Ning Yang and said, "Let's go, you also go to see your good sister."

The two came to Chengjing Palace, Emperor Yongping was still hugging Concubine Cheng and Ning Jia.

Concubine Cheng was crying until her voice became hoarse, and Ning Jia was also speechless.

Empress Yizhuang is speaking slowly to persuade.

Concubine Ye and Ning Yang stood aside and watched coldly.

"Sister, I know you are sad. Don't say that you are your own mother. Even I watched him grow up. Now that something like this happened, how can I not be sad?"

Empress Yizhuang said, her eyes were also red, she picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped away her tears, Fang said again: "Your sister is weak, you should take care of her. The emperor is busy with state affairs, you and my sister have to share the emperor's worries. Now you only care about yourself being so sad, how can you feel at ease when the emperor sees you?"

Speaking of Concubine Cheng, she was heartbroken to lose her beloved son.

But after listening to the words of Empress Yizhuang, I also know the seriousness.

Gradually suppressing her tears, she left the couch, bowed to Emperor Yongping, and said: "The concubine only cared about her own sadness, and forgot that the emperor's dragon body is important, please forgive me."

Emperor Yongping pulled her up, wiped the tears on his face, and said: "Xichang has been weak since he was a child, and it is a great fortune for you and me to have him accompany you and me for twenty years. He is determined to be a good man. Doctor, heals illnesses and revives people, and now he deserves to die. Concubine Cheng also has Ning Jia and Xi You to take care of, so don't be too sad."

"Yes, my concubine understands." Concubine Cheng replied.

"Mother..." Ning Jia came up to support Concubine Cheng's arm, tears still streaming down her face.

Concubine Cheng wiped away her tears with the silk handkerchief in her hand, patted her hand and said, "Ning Jia, don't be sad anymore."

"Yes, mother..." Ning Jia replied, but tears rolled down again.

"Everyone go back, let Concubine Cheng rest well." Empress Yizhuang said to the other concubines.

So the concubines retired and left.

Emperor Yongping could not help frowning when he saw Concubine Ye in full dress and Ning Yang standing at the table with a gloating face.

Seeing Emperor Yongping looking at her, Concubine Ye walked up to Concubine Cheng, and said to her: "Sister Concubine Cheng, you have to be sad and obedient."

Concubine Cheng looked at her with an angry face, and only replied: "Thank you, sister."

Concubine Ye suddenly approached her and said in a low voice, "You finally know what it's like to lose a loved one..."

Hearing this, Concubine Cheng took a deep breath, and tightly covered her chest with her hands.

Ning Jia was right next to Concubine Cheng, Concubine Ye's words were soft, but she heard the truth.

Seeing Concubine Cheng's condition at this time, she glanced at Concubine Ye, who was full of resentment and cheerfulness, and Ning Yang beside her, but without replying, she held onto Concubine Cheng's arm tightly with both hands, and cried out in a sobbing voice: "Mother... ..."

Although Emperor Yongping didn't hear what Concubine Ye said, but seeing the expressions of a few people, he knew something was wrong.

"Concubine Cheng!" Emperor Yongping hurried over to support Concubine Cheng, and said in a low voice to Concubine Ye, "Concubine Ye, you should go back first."

Concubine Ye looked at Concubine Cheng, with an indescribable pleasure in her eyes, and said: "Sister, take care, I'm leaving."

He turned around and led Ning Yang out of Chengjing Palace.

When Ning Jia returned to Jianjia Palace, it was nearly three o'clock.

Pushing open the pear blossom door, I saw a light blue figure standing beside the screen.

"Yu'er!" Ning Jia said in surprise, "How dare you come back here?"
