After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

"Your Majesty, this slave knows that he is guilty and deserves to die. However, the Concubine Xian went too far to bully others. The thirty pieces of paper at that time almost killed this slave.

The slave swore at that time that as long as he could still live, the slave would take revenge. The slave soon waited for an opportunity. The Concubine Xian was pregnant, so the slave stole blood-replenishing medicine and awakening incense from the Imperial Hospital and the House of Internal Affairs..."

"Xiao Yuanzi, how do you know that mixing these two things can cause pregnant women to miscarry?" Li Youwei naturally knew that Xiao Yuanzi was lying, and she was now forcing him to tell the truth.

Xiaoyuanzi's eyes dodge, "That, I heard someone say it before entering the palace."

"Oh, then how do you recognize that blood-tonifying medicine? You won't say that you were an apprentice in the medicine hall before entering the palace, right?"

"Slave..." No matter how clever Xiao Yuanzi is, he doesn't know how to make it up at this moment.

"Xiaoyuanzi, you can't be too selfish. Do you want to bring down the entire nine tribes because of yourself?"

Although Xiao Yuanzi came from a poor background, he had family outside the palace.

Trouble flashed in Xiaoyuanzi's eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. The person behind him must have promised to protect his family. He refused to reveal the person behind it, probably because of this reliance.

Li Youwei decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Xiaoyuanzi, the world is as big as the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's ministers. Even if the people behind you protect your family, Nanchen's soldiers can find them."

Xiaoyuanzi began to waver. Li Youwei's words were too firm, which made him unable to believe that person's words anymore.

"Slave, the slave said, please spare my family."

"I keep my word. As long as you identify the person behind the scenes, I will let other innocent people go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The person who asked me to cause Concubine Xian to have a miscarriage was..."

Before he could speak, a sound broke through the air, and the target was Xiaoyuanzi.

Li Youwei reacted quickly and quickly raised her hand to grab it. A dart appeared in her hand. At the same time, she raised her foot and kicked Xiao Yuanzi on the chest. Xiao Yuanzi spat out a mouthful of blood with a pop.

Everything happened so fast that no one realized what was going on.

"Captain Zhou, lead the men to chase him."

"Yes."

Huangfu Chenyang also understood that someone wanted to kill Xiao Yuanzi just now, so he quickly ordered Long Wei to chase him out.

Nalanjiao looked at Li Youwei in confusion, "General Li, why did you kick Xiao Yuanzi? What if he dies?"

"If I hadn't kicked him, he would have bitten his tongue and committed suicide while I was catching the darts."

Nalan's squeamish face turned red, "This untrustworthy slave, who he clearly said he wanted to recruit, actually wanted to kill himself to protect the people behind the scenes. It's so damn damn good."

Huangfu Chenyang didn't expect that Xiao Yuanzi would dare to play tricks on him.

The emperor's anger was not so easy to appease. "Someone, take him to the prison where he will be tortured until he confesses."

Xiaoyuanzi was so frightened that his jaw was removed. There would be endless torture waiting for him. He just hoped that the man would not break his promise.

Zhou Tengfei and Long Wei came back soon. The man who fired the darts had been found, but it was already a corpse.

She was an inconspicuous palace maid. Judging from the tattoos on her arms, she was a dead soldier.

Huangfu Chenyang's eyes became darker. It seemed that his palace was no longer safe. Now he was attacking his prince. It would be his turn soon.

Nalanjiao moved her buttocks. It really hurt, but His Majesty was so angry that she didn't dare to bring up the topic of medicine.

After all, he was the emperor of a country, so Huangfu Chenyang quickly returned to normal.

"Lancao, go give your mother-in-law some medicine. General Li, it's all thanks to you this time."

"Your Majesty said something serious. Now that the murderer has been caught, I will leave first."

"it is good."

Li Youwei left the palace with Zhou Tengfei and others. Walking on the bustling streets of the capital, Li Youwei walked in front, and Zhou Tengfei followed closely behind, always keeping half a step away.

"General Li, my subordinate and Miss Situ's wedding is scheduled for mid-March. This is the invitation. I hope you can come to attend."

Zhou Tengfei carefully presented the bright red invitation with both hands.

"Okay, I will attend on time."

"Thank you, thank you." Zhou Tengfei was so excited that he said thank you twice in a row.

Zhou Tengfei also relied on his own efforts to buy a house in the capital. Although it was not big, it provided a place to shelter from wind and rain.

The two separated at the next intersection. Li Youwei continued walking towards the General's Mansion and saw a man and a horse standing on the roadside not far ahead.

As Li Youwei approached, the man seemed to feel something and turned his head to look over.

"Youwei, are you okay?"

Wang Boyan has thousands of words, but at this moment he only said these two sentences.

After he learned last night that Li Youwei was summoned to the palace overnight, he kept thinking that the palace was a good place for cannibalism, and he was really scared.

Li Youwei approached Wang Boyan and stopped three steps away from him.

"Brother Boyan, don't worry, I'm fine."

Wang Boyan secretly took a look at Li Youwei and secretly breathed a sigh of relief after making sure she was fine.

"It's okay, can we go for a walk together?" Even though he knew it was impossible to be with Li Youwei, Wang Boyan couldn't help but get closer to Li Youwei. Falling in love was really something he couldn't control.

"Let's go." Li Youwei also wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Wang Boyan to put her down and move forward. According to his mother's temperament, she must have urged the marriage long ago, and he should not feel comfortable.

Wang Boyan tried to stir up the topic several times, but he swallowed his words again. If he could keep going like this with Youyi, he would be satisfied. He just hoped that the road to the General's Mansion could be longer.

"Brother Boyan, we were classmates and fought side by side. I hope you can be happy."

Li Youwei was the first to break the silence.

The word happiness made Wang Boyan's heart feel even more bitter. These two words no longer belonged to him.

"You Wei, don't worry, I won't pester you, nor will I cause any trouble to your life. I just want to see you well."

He wanted to do more, but it was a pity that his status was not suitable.

Li Youwei sighed softly and wanted to say something, but the General's Mansion had already arrived.

Wang Boyan was just about to say if he could go in and sit, but his expression changed when he saw the carriage parked at the door.

"You Wei, I have to say goodbye in advance. We will talk about it later."

After Wang Boyan finished speaking, he was about to turn around and get on his horse to leave, but he was stopped by someone coming out of the carriage.

"Boyan, don't leave. The matter between you and General Li must be settled today."

The general's wife held the maid's hand and almost ran to the two of them.

Li Youwei took three steps back and distanced himself from the general's wife.

No matter what time it was, Li Youwei would never behave in such a disrespectful manner, but the woman in front of her was not worthy of her respect.

The general's wife Leng Ya obviously saw Li Youwei's dislike for her. She clenched the handkerchief angrily. This damn woman really took herself seriously.

Wang Boyan naturally knew that Li Youwei hated his mother, and immediately wanted to pull her away.

"Mom, if there is anything we can go back and talk about."
