The light from the lantern gradually fell on Jing Xuan's body.
She stood still, her eyes hidden under the hat looking at the man standing in front of her, holding a lantern and wearing a coarse hemp robe.
The man looked clean!
He had the temperament of a scholar.
Harmless to humans and animals.
Song Zhi raised the lantern a little higher.
But the person in front of him was wearing a black cloak. He could only see her chin and tightly pressed lips.
Was it a girl with an invisible face?
Why would she appear here in the middle of the night?
And so mysterious?
This person … could it be … not human?
Strange thoughts occupied Song Zhi's mind.
He couldn't help but clench his fists.
It was said that a scholar's mind was rich with ideas, and it was absolutely true.
Moreover, he was a script writer.
Naturally, his thoughts were different from others.
"You …" Are you a human or a ghost? Just as the words were about to come out of Song Zhi's mouth, he quickly swallowed them back and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Jing Xuan hugged her arms, her body shivering from the cold wind.
She couldn't believe the person in front of her!
She couldn't tell if he was a friend or foe.
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Song Zhi frowned and said patiently, "It's so late, why are you here alone? Strangers rarely come into this alley. Even in broad daylight, no one walks around. Tell me who you're looking for, and I'll call him out for you. "
"I …"
Vigilance.
"You can say it, Miss."
Jing Xuan pursed her lips and was about to speak —
"Master Song, who are you talking to?"
Lang Po's voice came from the door.
Song Zhi looked back and saw Lang Po's tall and strong body blocking the door.
He explained, "There's a girl here, she said she's looking for someone, but she didn't say who."
"Girl?"
Lang Po was curious, so he walked out of the door.
After resting for a while, the wound on his arm had healed.
Jing Xuan heard a familiar voice, raised her eyes from under the hat, and saw a figure walking over.
When she looked again, she found it was Lang Po.
She immediately became excited, "Brother Lang?"
Brother Lang?
Lang Po's whole body shook, and he looked at the figure in the dark.
When Jing Xuan's face was revealed from under the black hat, he was also shocked, "Young … Miss, how come it's you?"
He almost called out 'princess', but fortunately, he managed to stop himself in time.
Song Zhi stood at the side. So Lang Po knew this girl, that meant she was one of his own!
Therefore, he retreated to the side and moved the lantern in his hand a little closer.
Lang Po stepped forward in disbelief. "Miss … how could it be you? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you … "
Jing Xuan stopped him. "It's a long story."
"You're here to find the Young Master, right?"
What else could they do?
Jing Xuan nodded.
"It's snowing so heavily outside. Quick, quick, follow me in."
Lang Po hurriedly led Jing Xuan into the mansion.
Song Zhi carried the lantern and followed behind.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu did not expect her to come here.
They were all very shocked!
They closed the door and chatted.
Jing Xuan took off her hat, revealing her worried face.
"Xuan 'er? Why are you here? "Jing Rong was puzzled.
Jing Xuan clenched her fists and said anxiously, "I snuck out of the mansion, but I can't stay here for long. I have to return before dawn. Otherwise, if I'm discovered, I won't be able to leave.
It will definitely cause trouble. "
"In the end, what happened? Did the Third Prince … "Did he hit you again?
"No, I'm fine." Her haggard eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Jing Rong. "I came because I want Imperial Brother to take me to see someone."
Explain the purpose of her visit!
Jing Rong frowned. Someone who could make Jing Xuan take the risk to leave the mansion.
Who was it?
He asked, "Who do you want to see?"
"Gong Shilin."
The name made everyone in the room fall into silence.
"How do you know him?" Jing Rong asked.
"During the time I was in the Third Prince's mansion, he helped me a lot. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be standing here. He's my benefactor."
If it wasn't for Gong Shilin, she would have been beaten to death by Tuo.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu did not participate in the ins and outs of the matter.
Naturally, they didn't know.
Ji Yunshu asked, "He's Du Mubai's murderer. He's currently in the Ministry of Justice's prison! Why do you want to see him? "
Jing Xuan said, "I accidentally … eavesdropped on the conversation between Marquis Pingyang and Third Prince. I think they … are going to sacrifice the rook to save the king."
Abandon the rook to save the king!
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong looked at each other.
Jing Rong replied, "Actually, this result was within my expectations. Anyone who dares to touch this case now would be courting death. “
Hearing this, Jing Xuan became anxious. "Is there really no other way? Imperial Brother, Gong Shilin must have his own difficulties. He wouldn't casually kill people. Imperial Brother, please save him. "
"Save? How am I supposed to save him? "
"…"
Yes!
How could Jing Rong save him?
Jing Xuan's face was full of despair.
If even the Third Prince could not control it, then there was nothing he could do! Her body trembled and she fell back two steps. Tears flowed out of her eyes as she choked with sobs. "Since it's like this, please let me see him. I have something to tell him. I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to in this lifetime." She grabbed Jing Rong's hand and pleaded, "Imperial Brother, please take him away.
Let me see him. "
Seeing her like this, Jing Rong's heart ached, but he was also in a difficult position. "He's in the Ministry of Justice, and he's a felon! The Ministry of Justice will definitely tighten his security. It won't be easy to see him. "
"There's always a way, right?"
"Xuan 'er …"
"I won't take too long. Imperial Brother, please help me."
Jing Rong lowered his voice.
Ji Yunshu hurriedly said, "Jing Xuan, going to the Ministry of Justice at this time will arouse suspicion. Moreover, you have to think carefully. If you're discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable. If it's someone else, it's fine, but you're the Third Princess. If you escape in the middle of the night to see another man in the Ministry of Justice …
You'll definitely die. "
Jing Xuan couldn't care less.
She resolutely said, "I'm not afraid! No matter what the consequences are, I'm willing to bear it. Even if I die, I want to see him. Please help me. "
Ji Yunshu couldn't make up her mind.
Although she didn't agree, the final decision was in Jing Rong's hands.
After a while …
Jing Rong said, "Alright, I'll take you to see him."
… …
The heavy snow fell heavily at night, covering the entire Gaoding City in a dense blanket.
Jing Rong changed into the uniform of a city guard with a small guard following behind him.
The two braved the snow and arrived at the Ministry of Justice's prison.
The jailer at the door stopped them.
"What are you doing here?"
Jing Rong calmly took out the City Guard's token Li Cheng gave to her and showed it to the jailer. "Lord Li has ordered us to question Gong Shilin."
The jailer took the token and looked at it.
It was indeed from the City Guard!
He returned the token. "Gong Shilin is a criminal now. Why did the City Guard send someone to investigate so late?"
Jing Rong sternly said, "The case is urgent. There are many areas that need to be re-examined. We can't be careless, so there's no time."
"That's true." The jailer thought for a moment, sizing up the two people in front of him.
One was tall, while the other was thin.
If it was a prison break, it wouldn't be so bad.
Therefore, he relaxed his guard.
"Alright, let's go in."
Jing Rong led the small guard inside, but he only took two steps before the jailer called him back.
"Wait!"
When the little guard heard this, he was startled and didn't dare to move. He held his breath and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He could only lower his head even more.
A pair of hands were tightly clenched in the lapel of his robe.
Jing Rong immediately turned around, shielding the small guard behind him. Without changing his expression, he asked the jailer, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with this token? "
The jailer looked at him, narrowed his eyes, and sized him up.
