Chapter 504 Xiao Yue, You Are the Chess Piece
The last trace of smile on Xiao Yi's face disappeared, and the bright red robe on his body was reflected by the weak light in the cell, revealing an indescribable depression. For a moment, it looked like dark brown old bloodstains. He looked at Jiang Suining coldly, "Is it because of Shen Yanxi?" "What?" Jiang Suining was puzzled. "Is it because you are sure that Shen Yanxi is here and he will protect you, so you are so calm and composed, even if you are in this prison, you are not afraid at all?" He has never underestimated Jiang Suining, but the other party's actions today really exceeded his expectations. Is it because of Shen Yanxi's protection that he has such courage? Across the prison door, Jiang Suining met Xiao Yi's gaze. At first glance, his eyes were calm, but there were undercurrents inside. "The fourth prince is wrong. It's not that I don't have fear, but compared to fear, I want to seek the truth more. If I really have to say that I have the confidence because of something or someone..." Jiang Suining leaned against the wall, his eyes slightly raised. "That's because of the crime that the Third Prince had committed." Xiao Yi's pupils contracted, revealing a strong coldness for the first time, and even a hint of murderous intent. "Miss Jiang, aren't you afraid of dying in this prison?" "That depends on whether the Fourth Prince has the ability." The four looked at each other, Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, and after a long silence, he did not speak again and left the cell. Judging from Jiang Suining's appearance, there was indeed no room for reversal of this matter. Walking out of the prison with a gloomy face, Xiao Yi went to find Pei Zhaozhi again. Pei Zhaozhi had already received the order from Emperor Xiao and knew that Xiao Yi would also participate in the investigation of this matter. Facing Xiao Yi who wanted to check the evidence, Pei Zhaozhi could only obey orders. After reading the confession, Xiao Yi turned around and left without saying a word. Pei Zhaozhi asked behind him: "Fourth Prince, the next investigation..." "For the time being, follow the instructions of Lord Pei. This prince is going to see my brother now." Without looking back, Xiao Yi left the Ministry of Justice. At the gate of the yamen, Xiao Yue happened to meet him. Xiao Yue wanted to see Jiang Suining, and was using her status to put pressure on the yamen runners to let them report the news quickly. When she saw Xiao Yi coming out of the yamen, she was stunned for a moment and said. "Brother, have you met Miss Jiang?" "Yes." Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue walked to Xiao Yi's side, "Brother, I already know that you asked the emperor to let you participate in the investigation. In fact, I also want to..." "You also want to participate in this case?" Xiao Yi took over Xiao Yue's words. "That's right!" Xiao Yue nodded, and added, "I also know a lot about the investigation, and I can definitely help you." Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Yue, not missing the calculation in her eyes, and suddenly sneered after a while. "My sister is really different from before." "What does your brother mean by this?" Xiao Yue said calmly. When she first crossed over, she was indeed afraid of being discovered, but it has been so long, and now she is relieved. Anyway, they will not know, and there will be no evidence to prove that she is not the original Xiao Yue. "Nothing, I just feel that my sister seems to like to be in the limelight more and more, which is very different from before." Xiao Yue frowned, "Brother, what you said is a bit too much. We are brothers and sisters, and we are both members of the royal family. Why can you participate in this case? I want to participate in it just to be in the limelight!" "No matter what your reason is, I will not allow anyone to step on my third brother to achieve their goals." Xiao Yi's tone was cold, mixed with a little bit of anger, but then he glanced at Xiao Yue with a smile. "Also, if you want to rely on Jiang Suining to be in the limelight, I also advise you to be cautious. Miss Jiang is not someone you can control, and she will not let you arrange everything. Isn't the previous Yang Manman's case a good example?" Xiao Yue's face sank. When Yang Manman was charged with murder before, the advice she gave to Jiang Suining and others when she left the palace was indeed not adopted in the end. This matter made her unhappy for a long time. She had thought of finding an opportunity to teach Jiang Suining a lesson later, but she didn't expect that Jiang Suining would take leave one after another before she could open her mouth, until today. The old things were brought up again, and Xiao Yue was unhappy, and her eyes towards Xiao Yi became more and more unfriendly. "Is my brother trying to sow discord?" "It's not my turn to sow discord, the facts are in front of us. You thought Jiang Suining could be your helper, but you didn't know... you are the chess piece that she manipulated and used." Xiao Yi was rarely so impolite. After he finished speaking, he didn't even care about Xiao Yue's reaction, and strode away. Only Xiao Yue was left standing outside the criminal department, her face as ugly as the thick night. Finally, before the yamen runner who reported the news came out, she left first. The carriage returned to the palace all the way, and Xiao Yue kept thinking about Xiao Yi's words and everything that happened before. At the beginning, it was obviously she who wanted to change the woman's situation and asked Jiang Suining to help her. She was also the first to decide on the female official. But later, it became that she did things according to Jiang Suining's instructions. Although Jiang Suining did what he said, which made her very popular, her reputation spread, and the matter of the female official was finally advanced. But now thinking about it carefully, it seems that she has nothing to do after that. Although she is famous, it has been so long since the incident, and the appreciation and discussion about her have gradually dissipated. She originally thought that Jiang Suining would be used by her, but Yang Manman's incident seemed to have confirmed that Jiang Suining and Ning did not listen to her at all. And Lu Yan and He Qingrui also chose to follow Jiang Suining's arrangements in that matter. On the other hand, except for that time when she became famous, she was still trapped in the palace most of the time, and it was not easy to leave the palace. The current situation is a million miles away from what she imagined at the beginning. The more Xiao Yue thought about it, the more unhappy she felt. After entering the palace, she walked quickly and returned to her own palace with a gloomy face. When she walked into the room, she happened to meet the cleaning maid Qiaorong coming out. Xiao Yue's steps were so fast that Qiao Rong couldn't react in time and bumped into her. Although she stopped in a hurry, the copper basin in her hand still hit Xiao Yue's arm, and some of the water in the basin splashed onto Xiao Yue's sleeves. "Don't you have eyes!" Xiao Yue was annoyed and raised her hand to slap her hard. Qiao Rong was stunned by the slap, and after she came to her senses, she knelt down quickly, "Princess, please forgive me, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" Qiao Fu, who was following Xiao Yue, was also shocked. There was more surprise in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Yue, but then she also lowered her head quickly. Xiao Yue felt the burning pain on her palm, and looked at Qiao Rong, whose cheeks were swelling rapidly while kneeling on the ground, and felt guilty for a moment. But then, she told herself in her heart that it was not her fault. It was Qiao Rong who was still impatient as a servant. She just slapped her. If it were someone else, I'm afraid she would have been dragged away and severely punished. Thinking of this, the guilt disappeared completely, and Xiao Yue warned in a bad tone: "I won't bother with you this time, but if you are not careful next time, don't blame me for really punishing you!" After that, she said to Qiao Fu behind her: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and change my clothes!"
