The death of the Gao family shocked everyone, allowing the people to see the emperor's fairness and justice, and also made the aristocratic families realize the emperor's determination.
Especially those who had just brought back the bodies of the tragically deceased to prepare for the mourning hall, none of them cared about their grief and hurriedly arranged the burial.
At this moment, he had no time to look for the murderer. He was afraid that people would know that someone in his family had been to Changchun Building and eaten human flesh. He just wanted to clear himself completely.
Even though those aristocratic families were second-class families, they did not dare to stand up straight in front of the emperor and say that they were not wrong.
Killing people and eating their flesh is against the will of heaven, and even the aristocratic families dare not confront it.
A group of people acted like quails, but there was one person who was not. She firmly believed that there was a conspiracy.
Liu Xueyin finally met Lu Yanzhi after trying every possible means. At this moment, she was dressed in plain clothes, in mourning clothes, and her eyes were red from crying. She looked so pitiful.
"Brother Yanzhi, my father was framed. He is not that kind of person. He is not..."
"Brother Yanzhi, this must have been done by the princess. This is her revenge. She said she would kill everyone close to me. This must be her revenge. Brother Yanzhi, please help me. My father died so tragically!"
Liu Xueyin cried until she almost fainted. She looked at her childhood sweetheart in front of her with attachment, expecting him to comfort her as he did in the past and solve all her difficulties.
However, Lu Yanzhi slowly pulled her hand away and looked at her with a dark and indifferent look: "Xueyin, you may have forgotten that many years ago, your father was drunk and said that the most delicious dish in the world was fairy meat. After eating a bite, you felt as happy as a fairy. After hearing this, you made a fuss and said you wanted to eat fairy meat. Then your mother beat you up. You came to me and cried about it."
I was young and didn’t know it then, but now when I think back on it, it’s terrifying.
The man-eating devil is always around.
Liu Xueyin shook her head in disbelief: "Impossible, I didn't say that. It's impossible, why don't I remember it?"
Lu Yanzhi suddenly discovered that when he looked at his childhood sweetheart, whom he had always felt pity for, she seemed to have changed.
"Then how do you want me to help you?"
Liu Xueyin didn't notice his change. She continued to trust and rely on him as always, and made no secret of her hatred: "I'm going to kill her to avenge my father."
Lu Yanzhi: "The case is still under investigation. Your speculation is unfounded."
Liu Xueyin looked at the man who refuted her in disbelief: "You don't believe me?"
"My father is dead, and you don't believe me?"
"She said with her own mouth that she would kill everyone around me, Su Jin. She killed Su Jin right in front of me, did you know that?"
Lu Yanzhi frowned tiredly: "I understand that you are sad that Uncle Liu is gone, but you can't use this reason to convict the princess. She is a princess, how can you kill her at will?"
Liu Xueyin was hysterical: "What about my father? How could she kill him just like that?"
Lu Yanzhi didn't want to argue with her. Liu Xueyin retreated sadly and desperately: "I understand. It turns out that I am not that important in your heart."
"Lu Yanzhi, I hate you!"
The next moment, a gust of wind blew, and raindrops fell.
Lu Yanzhi stood under the eaves, while Liu Xueyin was instantly drenched by the heavy rain, but she walked forward stubbornly without looking back.
Xiao Li, who was sitting in the carriage at the corner, watched the scene speechlessly.
She has already taken the first blood, and these two are still acting out an idol drama.
To be honest, the death of Liu's father was not an accidental injury. When Xiao Li discovered the hideout and was about to set up, he was ready to kill a lot of people.
Father Liu had not originally planned to go that day, but Xiao Li had the girls use bait, and that night almost half of the regular customers gathered there, and Father Liu was one of them.
He deserves to die!
It's funny to say that the original plot tells the love-hate relationship between Liu Xueyin and Prince Chen Xiao Jingyu, and the Liu family members all feel sorry for their daughter and sister.
Prince Chen was suppressed and targeted by the emperor everywhere. The emperor was incompetent and wanted to kill him several times. Then he casually rebelled and became the new emperor.
After Prince Chen became emperor, the aristocratic family was still the aristocratic family, and the world was still the world. The only thing he did was to chase his wife to the crematorium. With the dignity of an emperor, he disregarded his face and the affairs of state, and offered the world as a betrothal gift, just to make Liu Xueyin fall in love with him again.
Those aristocratic families that are so huge and deeply rooted that they threaten the imperial power are not important, and the corruption and darkness within those aristocratic families are not important either.
It seems that Prince Chen changed his identity to become the emperor in order to use his identity as the emperor to pamper Liu Xueyin and make her the most noble woman in the world.
Then he promised her that they would be together for the rest of their lives. Eventually, they had children and became a loving couple that everyone in the world envied.
Xiao Li suspected that he and they were living in two different worlds.

Full Moon Building
Zi Yue ran out again and again, and his face became uglier and uglier when he came back.
The shopkeeper, Uncle Jiang, was using an abacus. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but advise him: "If you can't bear it, don't go and watch it."
Manyue Building and Changchun Building are less than two streets apart, and the straight-line distance is less than 100 meters. Zi Yue is familiar with many of the children around him, and he knows some of the missing children.
How could he not have thought that his playmates would encounter such a thing after they disappeared, and in such a remote place.
He wanted to take a look to see if there was anyone he recognized, but he didn't dare to take a closer look at the pile of bones.
He was not afraid of the bones, but he was afraid of seeing a familiar face inside.
Today, those bones have been collected. Because many of them are difficult to distinguish, they have all been collected and buried together outside the city, and a high monk has been invited to chant the mantra for rebirth.
Zi Yue just went to see them off for the last time.
He was in a very low mood and did not answer the shopkeeper's words. Suddenly, he smelled a strong aroma of wine.
"Uncle Jiang, who's drinking with us?"
This is a teahouse, but they don't serve alcohol, and they generally don't allow people to bring alcohol here.
Uncle Jiang pointed upstairs and said, "The person you've been thinking about is here. The young master is drinking with her."
Zi Yue was surprised: "Beautiful sister? Can the young master drink?"
Xiao Li was also thinking about this question: "If you can't drink, don't try to be so stubborn."
Xian'er, who was like a banished immortal who was detached from the mundane world, choked on a glass of wine and started coughing continuously, her face flushed, which made her feel very guilty.
"Ahem..." The young master waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I've wasted the lady's fine wine with my broken body."
Xiao Li filled a glass for himself and drank it all before answering, "I'm not worried about the wine, but your health looks so bad. What's wrong with you that can't be cured?"
The young master drank tea to moisten his throat: "It's an old illness. It's not life-threatening. It won't kill me, but it can't be cured."
He watched Xiao Li drink one cup after another and said, "Miss, you seem to be in high spirits today, but has the east wind you've been waiting for arrived?"
Xiao Li paused as he raised his glass, then drank it all in one gulp: "Here we are, the east wind is strong, it's just beginning."
