"How about we investigate according to what the Third Princess said?" Xiao Hanyi asked Zhou Li.
Zhou Li, "Your Majesty, why are you shielding Jiang Chi?"
He thought to himself, it's okay, he had already seen that Xiao Hanyi didn't want to kill Jiang Chi at all, it would be satisfying to avenge himself!
"I obey your order, but if Chen Ming finds out that the murderer of my son is this foreigner, I hope Your Majesty will give me justice," Zhou Li said with a bow.
Chen Ming, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was promoted by Zhou Li, but he was a bit old-fashioned and not very flexible. Otherwise, based on his abilities, this position would have been his long ago.
"Okay!" Xiao Hanyi saw Zhou Li give in and quickly said, "No matter who the murderer is, I will not tolerate it. Everyone, get up!"
Xiao Hanyi asked with concern, "Old Minister Zhou, please take care of your health."
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
[Dad, this is bad! Zhou Li is going to kill Jiang Chi, and he's got a knife!]
Xiao Hanyi had just relaxed when he heard that familiar voice coming from outside the hall.
When the third princess heard these words at the same time, she was so frightened that her whole body tensed up. She looked at Jiang Chi involuntarily and pulled him behind her.
"Be careful when you are with me," the third princess whispered.
Jiang Chi stood respectfully, thinking to himself, could this old man dare to kill him in front of the emperor? Drawing a knife in front of the emperor is a capital crime no matter what the reason. Zhou Li can't be so crazy, right? Even if he lost his son, there are still so many people in the Zhou family, and he just doesn't care?
Although he thought so, Jiang Chi still quietly moved closer to the third princess. For some reason, he felt at ease the closer he was to her.
The eunuch outside came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Guo is holding the Fourth Princess and asking for an audience."
"Quick Pass"
Guo Xiner came in and saw that Zhou Li was indeed there. Could it be that he really wanted to kill Jiang Chi himself? Huh? Why was Jiang Chi hiding behind the Third Princess? Judging from the distance, it seemed that it would take some effort for Minister Zhou to kill someone!
"Why are you here at this time?" Xiao Hanyi waved his hand to signal Guo Xiner to come over to him.
Guo Xiner bowed first, then carried Xiao Jiayun to Xiao Hanyi and handed Xiao Jiayun to him. "The princess didn't sleep after feeding. I think she missed the emperor. I brought her here to pay her respects to the emperor."
Hahaha, Xiao Hanyi smiled and looked at Xiao Jiayun in his arms, "Come, let me look at the little princess, ah, she is smiling"
Xiao Hanyi's mood improved, and he said to Guo Xiner, "Look, she's smiling at me."
"The princess likes the emperor and she smiles naturally when she sees him," Guo Xiner said with a smile in her eyes. Her precious daughter is not an ordinary person, so it is inevitable that she can be liked by the emperor.
Seeing Xiao Hanyi holding the fourth princess with the look of a loving father, Zhou Li felt even more sad. His only son was killed for no reason, but the murderer was still at large. He looked at Jiang Chi, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to be unable to be suppressed.
[Don't giggle, Daddy. Jiang Chi will be killed in half a cup of tea. Please save Jiang Chi.]
Xiao Jiayun roared in his heart.
Xiao Hanyi's smile froze. Ah, I want to save him. How can I let someone use a knife in front of me?
"My dear daughter, have you gained weight again? Now that the weather is warmer, you can go out for a walk more often. I will take you out to play," Xiao Hanyi continued to tease her.
Xiao Jiayun, "......"
Someone is about to die, Daddy!
The third princess became extremely nervous after hearing this and stared at Zhou Li closely, fearing that Zhou Li would rush towards her with a knife if she was not careful.
Jiang Chi stole a glance at the Third Princess, and seeing how nervous she was about him, he felt warm in his heart, and his eyes unconsciously stayed on the Third Princess.
Guo Xiner looked at Xiao Hanyi, then glanced at Zhou Li and Jiang Chi. Should she do something?
Zhou Li, Yaozu, dad will avenge you today!
He closed his eyes and gathered his strength. He had to succeed in one go. He only had one chance.
Zhou Li touched the dagger at his waist, quietly moved, and stood less than two meters away from Jiang Chi. This way, he should be able to rush over without any problem.
The third princess saw Zhou Li coming and pulled Jiang Chi over, "Let's go and see the fourth princess too."
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Chi to Xiao Hanyi and started teasing Xiao Jiayun.
Zhou Li, "......"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he also moved forward. "Your Majesty is so lucky to have such a lovely princess."
The third princess glared at Zhou Li. Why was he following her? He was haunting her!
When Xiao Jiayun saw Jiang Chi approaching her and Zhou Li following, she suddenly panicked and screamed in her heart.
[Jiang Chi, don't get close to me! Don't get close to me! Stay away, stay away, you are in danger now, in danger]
[That old man thinks you killed his son and wants to fight you to the death. Stay away, stay away, don't hurt me by mistake.]
Last time, Daddy held me in his arms and threw me out when he got angry. What if he gets anxious this time and treats me like a piece of shit, like a knife blocker? I'm done for. I'm made of flesh, I can't block a knife.
[Help, help, I don’t want to be here, I want to go home, I want my mother]
Xiao Jiayun used her hands and feet, flapping her arms and legs, and whimpering. Even though she couldn't speak, she wanted to express that she was not feeling well and wanted to leave!
Xiao Hanyi was holding back his laughter. This little guy really values his life!
Guo Xiner glanced at Zhou Li with some concern, then glanced at the chair opposite her. She suddenly thought, "Your Majesty, Minister Zhou is old, let him sit."
Zhou Li felt a tightness in his heart and he refused to sit down.
Xiao Hanyi almost laughed out loud. His kind-hearted imperial concubine had really meant well but ended up doing something bad. She just wanted to stand here!
He nodded without showing any emotion on his face, and pointed to the chair, "My dear, please sit down."
