Qin Xiaoxiao has no doubts about Qin Huai's ability to investigate the case, but she is most concerned about whether Princess Jiaming can escape her guilt: "Brother Li, since the Holy Admiral has taken my cousin into the palace for treatment, he should let her go, right?"

Jing Heng glanced outside the door and whispered, "It's hard to say. It depends on whether the crime Zhang Hu committed can be punished by the whole family."

Judging from Emperor Yuan He's attitude towards Princess Jiaming and the fact that he only summoned Qin Huai for a confidential talk two days ago, he felt that Emperor Yuan He must take the opportunity to take Zhang Hu's power into his hands. In this way, Qin Huai would have all the evidence against Zhang Hu.

It will come in handy.

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and she gasped: "You mean..."

"It's what you think." Jing Heng touched her head and confirmed her guess: "The way to govern a country is the way of checks and balances. Once Zhang Hu died, this balance was broken. Some people took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and the emperor

There is no way my uncle will let these people do whatever they want."

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned, feeling that she was still too young to play the twists and turns of officialdom.

She didn't know if Zhang Hu had committed any crime. Since the Holy One had made up his mind to put a pot on his grave and completely eradicate his influence in the court, the crime could not be light, and she didn't know how many people would be implicated.

In this way, the life of the cousin who "executed" the Zhang family in advance is very likely to be saved.

Thinking of this, her mood suddenly improved, and a strange light shone in her eyes: "In this case, why not have a big one!"

Jing Heng's heart was raised, he was worried that she was messing up: "Master Qin will find a way to save my aunt's life, it's best for us not to interfere, so as not to disturb Master Qin's plan."

Qin Xiaoxiao solemnly said: "Brother Li, the idea I came up with will not disturb Mr. Qin. If possible, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort... I haven't visited Grandma Qin for several days. Taking advantage of the good weather these two days, I will go there

Look at her old man."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Jing Heng couldn't say anything else, as the Jade-faced Yama on his left and right would not act recklessly.

Before going to the Qin Mansion, Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to go into the palace to visit Princess Jiaming. He also had to talk to Princess Jiaming about what he was going to do next.

So at the end of the day, she and Jing Heng entered the palace.

As soon as she saw her, Queen Mother Jing said: "You are here just in time. Jiaming has woken up. Go and see her. When this girl woke up, she begged the Holy One to put her in jail, and she didn't want to think about her own injuries.

So, going to jail is not a way to die?"

Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly couldn't sit still and asked hurriedly: "Grandma, where does my cousin live? I'll go over and persuade her."

Queen Mother Jing directly told Aunt Tan to take Qin Xiaoxiao to Princess Jiaming herself.

Jing Heng did not go with him and stayed in Yongning Palace to accompany Queen Mother Jing.

Princess Jiaming temporarily resides in Zhaoyang Palace, which is not far from Yongning Palace. It only takes a few breaths to walk there.

Qin Xiaoxiao quietly walked into the palace under the guidance of the palace maid, and saw Princess Jiaming resting on the bed.

Her entire back was burned that day, and she has been suffering from high fever and unconsciousness for the past few days. If she had not been treated by a skilled imperial doctor, she might not have been able to withstand this.

Although she is awake now and her high fever has subsided, her already unhealthy body has become weaker and weaker. In just ten days, her eye sockets have become sunken and her two shoulder blades have bulged high, making people unable to bear to look at her.

Princess Jiaming was not asleep. When she heard subtle footsteps, she thought it was a palace maid and did not open her eyes. Until she felt someone sitting down by the bed, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Qin Xiaoxiao with red eyes.

.

Her expression changed: "Why are you here? Who asked you to come here? Leave quickly, I don't want to see you!"

"Auntie, don't move, be careful of the wound." Qin Xiaoxiao pressed her arm that was about to stand up and stopped her from moving: "You will be fine, and you don't have to worry about implicating me. Those things will be scattered in one shot."

If so, just stop talking."

The cruel words that Princess Jiaming had not yet released were blocked back, and she looked at her with a complicated expression: "Just live your life well, why bother to get into such a big trouble like me."

Qin Xiaoxiao opened the quilt and lifted the hem of her obscene clothes up. Seeing the horrific burns on her back, she tried her best not to cry: "What are you talking about? We are friends, I can't

Leave you alone when you are in trouble."

Princess Jiaming's eyes became moist, and she could no longer say any heartless words.

"Auntie, now that your great revenge has been avenged, good days are still to come. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries." Qin Xiaoxiao gently held her hand and encouraged her to cheer up.

"It's just a dying person, it doesn't matter whether you raise her or not." Princess Jiaming didn't believe that she still had the possibility to survive. On New Year's Eve when she poisoned six people from Zhang Hu, she was ready to die. She still hasn't.

Regret what you have done.

"Auntie, you will be fine!" Qin Xiaoxiao's temper was born, and he did not want to hear her say this: "The Holy One wants you to live, and the Queen Mother also cares about you. Everyone hopes that you will live well."

Princess Jiaming smiled bitterly: "Xiaoxiao, you don't need to comfort me. If I commit such a serious crime, the Holy Emperor will only protect me and cause dissatisfaction from the people of the world. I don't want this."

Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao knew that she was unclear about the current situation, so she leaned down and told Jing Heng her and Jing Heng's guesses, as well as her own plan.

"Xiaoxiao, is everything you said true?" Princess Jiaming's eyes were filled with light. No one wanted to die if she had a chance to live.

"Auntie, everyone is trying to save you, so you have to cheer up and recuperate." Qin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and encouraged her again.

"I, I listen to you." Princess Jiaming knew that it was difficult to live, but there is always a glimmer of hope, right? She held Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, and a gentle smile appeared on her pale and thin face again: "No matter the outcome

No matter what, I accept it."

Qin Xiaoxiao also smiled and said in her heart: Auntie, you must be fine!

The two looked at each other and laughed for a long time. Princess Jiaming thought of another thing and hesitated for a moment before asking: "Do you know how Teng'er is doing?"

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, paying attention to her expression: "I heard that she is still in the hospital, so she must be back soon."

Princess Jiaming saw her doubts, looked into the void and whispered: "I hate the Zhang family and him. It was him who knocked me down and caused my premature birth and Fusheng's death. But when I heard that he

In the sea of ​​​​fire shouting "Mother, save me", I can't watch him being buried in the sea of ​​​​fire..."

The injuries on her back were caused by the burns she received when she rushed into the fire to save Teng'er.

It seems that Teng'er was very lucky. Lan Zhi fed him dumplings that night. He was full after eating two, and Lan Zhi ate the rest. Because of this, his poisoning was relatively mild, and he shouted to Princess Jiaming.

If you ask for help.

"Auntie, you saved him because you are too kind." Qin Xiaoxiao was not surprised that she would save Teng'er, and she explained the reason in one sentence: "You are a good person!"

"Am I too kind? Am I a kind and good person?" Princess Jiaming looked at her hands with deep confusion on her face.

"Yes, this is the biggest difference between you and the Zhang family, who are arrogant and cruel."

Seeing her eyes slowly turning red, Qin Xiaoxiao's voice became gentler: "Whether he was careless or instigated by others, it is true that he knocked you down and caused your premature birth, and indirectly killed Fusheng. He is not a

Innocent, you saved him that day out of kindness."

Princess Jiaming burst into tears and cried bitterly: "It turns out...it turns out that I am still a good person!"

It is certainly satisfying to kill an enemy with your own hands, but for a person who has never killed a chicken on a daily basis, to have six lives on his hands overnight is not a very interesting thing, and it will take a long time to fully accept it.

Princess Jiaming did not regret the poisoning of the six Zhang Hus, but there was always something in her heart that she couldn't get over, and she felt that she had become a cruel and ruthless person.

At this time, Qin Xiao smiled and said "You are a good person", which completely collapsed the barrier.

Qin Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder gently and allowed her to vent her feelings to her heart's content.

After crying hard, Princess Jiaming's condition improved significantly. She held Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, and the gratitude on her face was beyond words: "Xiaoxiao, it's great to meet you!"

Qin Xiaoxiao teased: "You only know now, are you going to break up with me in the future?"

Princess Jiaming blinked hard, her eyes as gentle as before: "No, never again."

No matter what happens in the future, you will always be a friend worthy of my life.

The next day, Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng came to the Qin Mansion carrying gifts. First, they went to Mrs. Qin's yard to visit her.

Mrs. Qin was so happy that she held Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and refused to let go: "It's inconvenient for you because of your heavy body. If you miss grandma from now on, just let someone know and grandma will come and visit you."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "It's only a little over six months, so it doesn't matter. The midwife said that it will be easier to give birth after you move around moderately."

Mrs. Qin had heard this statement before, so she warned her carefully: "You are pregnant with twins. It doesn't matter if you move around now. After a while, it will be inconvenient when your belly gets bigger. Don't go out if you can."

The same goes for walking in your own yard."

Qin Xiaoxiao responded obediently: "Grandma Qin, I listen to you."

Mrs. Qin became even more happy and asked someone to bring over the New Year's money she had prepared long ago. One portion was given to Jingheng and the other to Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao's portion was actually three portions. Each portion was packed in a small box and contained a golden gold ingot. Converted into silver, these three boxes of gold ingots amounted to nearly two thousand taels.

Mrs. Qin is not very well-off. Last year she spent most of her money on Qin Xiaoxiao's dowry. Now she is giving her so much New Year's money. She just feels that she is getting older and doesn't know how many more years of good life she has left. She just thinks that she can

If you give more, give more.

Qin Huai was not stingy either. He gave him more New Year's money than Mrs. Qin, as if he wanted to make up for all the money he had not given in the past ten years.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the bulging purse and didn't dare to accept it. It was Mrs. Qin who pretended to be angry that she accepted it.

At noon, the four of them had dinner in Mrs. Qin's yard. During this time, Mrs. Yun never showed up and no one mentioned her.

Nowadays, the Yun family only uses the name of Mrs. Qin, but in fact, she and Qin Huai have long since separated, and they no longer have the affection they once had.

After the meal, Jingheng stayed to chat with Mrs. Qin, and Qin Xiaoxiao followed Qin Huai to the study.

"The evidence of Zhang Hu's crime is still being collected. Princess Jiaming will be fine until then." Qin Huai knew what she wanted to know and spoke directly to reassure her.

In fact, the incriminating evidence has been collected, but the time has not come yet and he cannot present it yet. He also does not want her to know that most of the incriminating evidence was obtained for him in cooperation with Princess Jiaming.

There was also the household marriage law, which he was not prepared to talk about, lest she feel guilty towards Princess Jiaming.

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and said happily: "I thank Master Qin on behalf of Princess Jiaming."

"It's my duty, you don't need to thank me." Qin Huai poured her a cup of tea and placed several food items brought by the attendant in front of her.

Qin Xiaoxiao had just eaten and was not hungry, but these were her favorite foods. She couldn't control her paws, picked up a piece of meat and gnawed on it and said: "Determine Zhang Hu's guilt and let Jiaming County
