In addition to having a pair of eyes, the woman could open her eyes and see people. From head to toe, there was almost no intact skin. She was full of burns, which was particularly serious.

The two teenagers have little experience, and it is inevitable that they will be scared to see such a scene for the first time.

However, the two were quite calm and did not show too much.

Zhao Xi first came to his senses and asked Lu Pingzhou, "Is she the witness you mentioned?"

Lu Pingzhou nodded, "Your Highness has anything to ask, you can ask her if you have any questions."

Zhao Xi hesitated, "Can she still talk when she is so injured?"

Before Lu Pingzhou could speak, the woman spoke, her tone was dull and dumb, "I'll keep it for a while, just wait for you. Just say anything if you have anything to say. I don't have much time."

Song Yuanbao brought the stool, Zhao Xi sat down with the flow, his eyes fell on the woman's face that was beyond recognition, "Who are you?"

"Qiu Shuyue, the concubine of the Duke."

"Are you... the Su family?"

“Yes, not.”

"How do you say this?"

"I'll tell your Highness a story."

The woman on the couch was Aunt Qiu. When she recalled the past, her eyes were red. "More than 20 years ago, Duke Su had not yet become prime minister. He was the imperial envoy sent to Guangnan by the court. In order to please him, the local parents and officials were preparing to find a few beauties to offer him. That day was on the eve of my sister's wedding. She was mistakenly arrested after just one trip. When she came back, she was resigned from the husband's house in public. My sister became a joke for the entire Guangnan Mansion.

My parents were very angry and wanted to drive her out of the house. My sister was heartbroken and planned to commit suicide by hanging herself. I couldn't see it and was stunned. I replaced my sister's identity and was kicked out. That year, I was sixteen years old and a daughter who had never suffered a hardship was homeless, so she was inevitably hit by walls everywhere.

One day on the street, a man in black wearing a hat suddenly came to me and asked me to help deliver a letter. I asked him if he had any food to send the letter. He told me that if I could come back alive, he would guarantee that I would not go hungry for the rest of my life.

I was very scared at the time, but I had no money on me. If I gave up this opportunity, I would probably starve to death next.

So I mustered up the courage to deliver the letter, but I was stabbed three times. I ran away in one breath. Finally, I saw the man in black again. I spoke only one sentence and asked him if he could give me some food first. After asking, I fell into a coma.

The man in black was my later master. He kept his promise and invited me to have a delicious meal when I woke up, and then took me back.

After following the master, I gradually realized that he had a very elite team of secret guards under him, and all of them were loyal to the Queen Mother, and their usual task was to eliminate dissidents for the Emperor.

My joining is an anomaly. After all, the girl's family is a secret guard and her physical strength is a shortcoming. The empress dowager will play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses and send me to the Western Regions to learn other things.

I only learned that my sister was found pregnant less than two months after I left. She came to the capital and did not dare to find that man. She secretly gave birth to the child by herself.

Sister is young and beautiful. Even though she is dragging a child, there are still many men who covet her. In the place where she lives, several men have treated her... Later, Sister got sick and was afraid that no one would take care of her daughter, so she had to make up her mind to sell her to a kiln. Sister herself died soon because she was seriously ill.

I was so angry that I wanted to avenge my sister, so I redeem the child. It happened that the empress dowager wanted to deal with Su Xiang at that time. I had more reasons to sneak into the Su family, so I took the initiative to come to recognize my relatives.

I believe you can guess what happened next without me saying it. I am carrying out a mission and avenging my sister, causing chaos in the Su family. Even if Su Yaoqi was disfigured from the Duke's Mansion, I have made me credit for this family extermination case, not to mention the shocking thunder that I buried.”

At this point, she looked up at Zhao Xi, "The Su family refining banned incense to send it to the palace for the queen to wear it to control the emperor. She has long committed a serious crime of treason. My actions are just to act on behalf of the heavens."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuanbao looked shocked. He thought that Duke Su was just shameless and thick-skinned. He didn't expect that he was so sinister inside. He actually wanted to use the Forbidden Incense to control the emperor. How brave and ambition is this?

Compared with Song Yuanbao, Zhao Xi was much calmer.

"Three questions." He said: "First, are you and your sister twin sisters? Second, the skill of creating thunderstorms has long been lost. Even if you learn something in the Western Regions, how can you bury three thunders in the Duke's Mansion without knowing it? Third, how much can I believe what you say?"

Qiu Shuyue realized that Zhao Xi would not believe her easily, so she laughed silently, but as soon as the corner of her mouth moved, she pulled the wound, which made her sweat coldly.

"My sister and I are sisters in Guangnan Prefecture City. If your highness doesn't believe it, you can find someone to check the Qiu family in Guangnan Prefecture more than 20 years ago. Regarding mine burial, since I am a secret guard who has been trained, I naturally have a set of methods. I won't go into details. I'm too tired and I don't have the energy. As for the last question..."

She paused, "If I guess correctly, Your Highness came by the emperor's order, right? You need a real murderer and need to close the case in the shortest time, because that will make the emperor look at you with admiration, and I can help you complete this task."

Before Zhao Xi spoke, Qiu Shuyue continued: "Of course, if you are willing to take the time to check, I don't mind. After all, those words just now were nothing and could stand your investigation. However, I am afraid that I will not live at that time. Once I die, there is no evidence for death. Even if your Highness holds the evidence in his hand, you can't give everyone an explanation."

Zhao Xi didn't say anything, turned to look at Song Yuanbao, as if asking for the other party's opinions.

Song Yuanbao said: "I only have one question, why are you in the Lu family?"

Qiu Shuyue quickly exchanged eyes with Lu Pingzhou, and then sighed: "When I was in the Duke's Mansion, I had some friendship with the sixth girl Su Dai. On the day when the Duke's Mansion had an accident, I finally escaped and found that I had nowhere to go and was eager to treat my injuries. I had no choice but to come to the Lu family for help. It was the sixth girl who took me in."

Zhao Xi's memory was not like the little figure Su Dai, and he looked at Lu Pingzhou in confusion.

Lu Pingzhou calmly explained, "It is my eldest son Lu Yanbin's concubine."

In this way, everything seems to be reasonable.

No wonder Lu Pingzhou said before that Qiu Shuyue was the queen mother, or she might not be the queen mother, because she destroyed the Su family, not only was she performing the tasks assigned by the queen mother, but also avenged her sister.

At that time, the relationship between Qiu Shuyue and the Empress Dowager will be hidden in the file, and she will be sold to the Western Regions by human traffickers. After many years, she will flee back to avenge her own sister. It makes completely understandable.

Seeing him in a daze, Qiu Shuyue spoke, "I wonder how your Highness is thinking?"

Zhao Xi's voice was slightly dark, "Since you are the queen mother, you should understand what consequences will be brought about once the crime is implemented."

The big revenge must be avenged, and Qiu Shuyue has nothing to worry about anymore, nodded, "Your Highness just follow the process, I will die without regrets."

...

When leaving, Zhao Xi stood at the gate of the Lu family for a long time without any movement.

Song Yuanbao asked him, "What are you thinking?"

Zhao Xi said: "Think about the case."

“Isn’t it clear?”

"I'm wondering if the Su family ended up like this, is it a crime to be deserved?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Song Yuanbao said, pushing him forward, "The Su family dared to secretly refine banned incense. If it weren't for the early discovery, I'm afraid that the incense would have entered the palace long ago. With this alone, the Su family would have been implicated in the nine tribes. Do you think it's a crime?"

...

According to the judicial process, Zhao Xi handled the case in just five days, with personal evidence, physical evidence, motive for murder, and criminal background clearly written on the file.

The Dali Temple admired him one by one and exaggerated the prince's young talents when they met everyone.

Qiu Shuyue committed a heinous crime and was sentenced to death by Qiu Hou. However, on the day the case was closed, she could not hold on and died in prison.

Zhao Xi went to see her and died peacefully.

After the prisoners carried the body out, Zhao Xi secretly asked someone to prepare a thin coffin for her, so that she would not be thrown into the mass grave for the beasts to share it.

After the case was settled, Zhao Xi went to Emperor Guangxi to take the aforementioned position.

The case that Dali Temple had been investigating for so long without clues. As soon as Zhao Xi came forward, the truth was revealed in just a few days, which really shocked Emperor Guangxi. However, the case was already settled and he did not intend to interrogate it again. After all, this matter really requires a "real murderer" to come out to take the blame.

Regardless of whether Qiu Shuyue is the real murderer or not, as long as the evidence can convince everyone.

Looking at his son with a calm expression, Emperor Guangxi asked him, "Xi'er has made great contributions, what reward do you want?"
