Gu Ci looked at the two people who were about to quarrel with a smile and tears in his eyes. He had no intention of trying to stop the fight. Instead, he found it funny.

First he robbed the execution ground, then he falsely conveyed the imperial decree. Why does Rong Xiu always do such stupid things?

If he keeps acting like this, sooner or later the entire Zhenguo Mansion will be dragged into trouble!

Rong Xiu was questioned by Hua Yuanzhao by pulling his sleeve. He shrank his nose guiltily and said with a dry cough: "After you were taken away today, I did go to the palace."

Hua Yuanzhao calmed down a little, but still stared at him.

Rong Xiu glanced at Gu Ci who was standing next to him, and then continued, "My aunt, the Queen, told me that since the ghost rumor came out, the Queen Mother has been bedridden. She had a high fever last night and didn't feel better until this morning."

"So..." Hua Yuanzhao loosened his sleeves and quietly clenched his fists.

"The emperor has ordered Gu Changsu to close the case within three days." Rong Xiu said in a low voice.

Hua Yuanzhao figured it out in an instant and looked at him with a bitter smile: "Are you afraid that I will become a scapegoat if I stay in jail?"

Fuling was so anxious that she almost cried when she heard the sound. She felt wronged. Her young lady had suffered enough, why did she have to suffer such a thing?

"If Master Rong hadn't insisted on forcing my young lady to do an autopsy and detoxification, my young lady wouldn't have encountered such a thing!" Fuling's face was full of sorrow, and she spoke without thinking for a moment, accusing Rong Xiu.

If it weren't for Master Rong, how could her young lady be researching hallucinogenic drugs, and how could she be caught red-handed by the Third Prince and his men?

"Fuling." Hua Yuanzhao squeezed Fuling's hand, signaling the latter to calm down.

She helped with the autopsy and detoxification, but it was just a business transaction in which money was exchanged for goods. The fact that she was involved in such a matter was simply because someone was plotting against her behind her back.

Although the little crybaby's accusation was meant to defend her, it was a bit untenable.

But Rong Xiu didn't say anything. Instead, his face was full of self-blame. He looked at Hua Yuanzhao with guilt, as if he had heard Fuling's words.

"For now, Miss Hua can only save her life by staying away from the capital." Gu Ci coughed lightly and said meaningfully, "It won't be too late to return to the capital when there are enough opportunities in the future."

Is there any opportunity in this world that is more abundant than the Tuibei Tu?

Anyone who obtains Tuibei Tu can understand the past, present and future, and can also rule the world!

"Jinyan, send Miss Hua off." Gu Ci turned around and gave Jinyan instructions, then bowed to Hua Yuanzhao and said, "Jinyan is my confidant, and he will definitely send Miss Hua to a safe place."

"Miss Hua, the road ahead is long, the mountains are high and the waters are long, I hope to see you later--"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a muffled groan, and Jin Yan beside him fell to the ground like a wooden pillar.

Behind Jinyan, Shihu put down his hand and smiled awkwardly.

At the same time, Rong Xiu struck Gu Ci's neck with a palm, knocking him unconscious.

"You! What are you doing!" Hua Yuanzhao exclaimed in surprise, looking at the scene in disbelief.

After moving the two men onto the carriage, Rong Xiu raised his hand and tapped Hua Yuanzhao on the forehead: "What? Are you really going to listen to him and run away?"

"No, what else can we do if we don't run away?" Fuling asked dully. Didn't they escape from prison? Could they go back?

"I escaped from prison to save your young lady's life." Shihu glanced at Fuling and said with a pout, "But if you want to clear your young lady's name, you still have to investigate this case thoroughly."

Rong Xiu curled his lips in pride and continued, "I'll take you to hide in the suburbs of Beijing, so we can save our lives and investigate the case at the same time!"

As he spoke, he gently kicked the horse's butt, and the carriage carrying the two unconscious people moved slowly towards the direction of the city gate.

"Oh——" Hua Yuanzhao was dumbfounded. In this remote place, two unconscious people were put on a carriage and driven away. What if something happened?

"Don't worry." Rong Xiu saw through her worries and pulled her forward, saying casually: "Beggars at the feet of the emperor have good eyesight. When they see that their clothes are extraordinary, they dare not act rashly."

Hua Yuanzhao broke free of his hand, glanced at Rong Xiu, and said unhappily: "Everyone in the prison saw that we came out together. If he goes back alone..."

What if she was thought to be an accomplice in her escape from prison?

Rong Xiu shrugged, not really doing anything, and said casually: "So I just knocked him out and sent him back, didn't I?"

In the carriage, Gu Ci, who had originally "fainted", slowly opened his eyes.

He used the folding fan in his hand to lift a small gap in the curtain, and looked through the gap in the direction where Hua Yuanzhao and others left, with a sneer on his face.

"master."

Jin Yan, who was knocked unconscious, opened his eyes and asked softly, "Do you want to catch up?"

Gu Ci waved his hand gently: "No need..."

But the direction they left seemed to be Huguo Temple?

…

In prison, Gu Changsu looked at the empty cell and the corpse on the ground, his face as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

His father ordered him to close the case within three days, and he originally wanted to go to the prison to find the woman to ask for clues.

If the real murderer could not be found, she would have to "admit her guilt"! Anyway, she loved him so much, she should be willing to share his worries.

But she escaped! She even killed the jailer and ran away!

"Someone come here." Gu Ci said in a deep voice, "Hua Yuanzhao used drugs to harm palace maids, pretended to be a ghost to cause chaos in the palace, and then escaped from prison... Prepare to draw a picture and arrest the fugitive!"

Song Zuo's eyes lit up and he responded in a loud voice: "Yes!"

That day in the Huguo Temple, that bitch broke his arm, he must make her return this insult!

It was already late at night when the news reached the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Old Madam Hua got up, put on her clothes, and blocked the way in front of the study.

Prime Minister Hua motioned the staff members who were woken up in the middle of the night to leave first, and asked tiredly: "Why is mother here? Did you hear the news?"

"Mu'er, you must not admit this crime!" Madam Hua grabbed Prime Minister Hua's wrist and said sternly, "Otherwise the Hua family will definitely be implicated!"

Prime Minister Hua had heard this many times, and he was furious when he heard it again.

"What do you think, mother?" Prime Minister Hua said irritably, "Originally, I had already made arrangements to get her off the hook..."

"But that evil girl was caught first for making drugs, and then she killed someone and escaped from prison. Does mother want me to use the entire Prime Minister's Mansion to protect her?" Prime Minister Hua said angrily, and did not give Old Madam Hua any good face.

"The only way to clear the Hua family of suspicion now is to let everyone see Zhao'er go crazy and die like those palace maids." Old Madam Hua lowered her eyes and made this decision while gritted her teeth.

"The Emperor wants to close the case within three days, so he has arranged a scapegoat for the Third Prince." Old Madam Hua made the final decision: "Mu'er, we must find Zhao'er first."

Find her, and then arrange for someone to kill her in public! Finally, present the murderer to the Third Prince!

This is truly, case closed!
