Chapter 268
Jiang Nan was so dirty that she couldn't face the saint. Anyway, she had to wait for the officials below to investigate, so Xie Yun accompanied her to the side hall to clean up. After the palace attendants finished bringing the hot water, he drove the maid away and locked the door.

Jiang Nan was soaking in the tub. When she saw Xie Yun taking off his shirt and rolling up his long sleeves, she asked in shock, "What are you doing?"

"You're startled, your whole body is shaking, I'll wash it for you!" Xie Yun lifted a stool and sat next to the bathtub, holding a handkerchief, dampened it, and carefully wiped the blood on Jiang Nan's face.

The hot water made her cheeks hot and red, she lowered her eyes and let him do it.

"You didn't kill Zhang Quan, why did you admit it? Was it Fu Qi or Chen Yanli? They were the only two who could have done it at that time. If any of them confessed, the crime would be lighter than if you did!" Xie Yun didn't understand. He didn't want to get into it, but he was afraid that this matter would be difficult to solve. He couldn't count how many enemies on the other side were watching him.

Fu Qi and Chen Yanli, Xie Yun is even more suspicious of Fu Qi, but what is the relationship between Fu Qi and Jiang Nan?Why did Jiang Nan risk his life to protect him so much?

Jiang Nan secretly clenched her fists in the water, so nervous that her toes curled up together. Naturally, she couldn't bluntly say that she suspected that Fu Qi was Gu Run, but it was really difficult to lie to Xie Yun.

She thought again and again, looked at Xie Yun with burning eyes, and said seriously: "I think he looks like my uncle, do you think he does?"

Xie Yun was stunned, he never thought that it would be because of such a relationship?
Jiang Nan's eyes were too clear, without any falsehood, she continued: "You know, little uncle loves me very much, even more than my father, my father dotes on me, his death is too hard for me to accept The first time I saw Fu Qi, I thought he looked like my little uncle."

"Nothing like it at all. General Gu is much more handsome and magnanimous than him. Fu Qiyi looks like he is a deep-minded person. What do you think of him?" He approached Jiang Nan with his shadow. How could this silly woman stand it?

"It's not that they look alike, it's that their words and deeds are very similar!" Jiang Nan grabbed Xie Yun's hand walking around, and said dejectedly, "Zhang Quan is dead, and my father will definitely investigate. Fu Qi killed me to save me. Zhang Quan was poisoned, my medicine can't stun him at all, I can only live if I kill him! I plead guilty because I know I still have you, you will save me, right?"

After saying this, Jiang Nan smiled warmly. Her fair skin was stained with water drops, like flower stamens that had been exposed to heavy rain, bright and tender.

Xie Yun looked at her seriously for a while, then sighed: "I really can't do anything about you."

He leaned over his upper body, pressed her against the tub and kissed her until she was panting delicately, then he let go, and said freely: "It's nothing to kill Zhang Quan, even if you violated the rules of heaven, I will be saved!"

Hearing this, Jiang Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not because of Xie Yun's firm defense, but because he was finally hidden from him for the time being.

At midnight, the wind and snow came again, and the snowflakes fell on the corners of the eaves, adding to the coldness.

The burning charcoal basin in the Tai Chi Hall was in sharp contrast to the cold weather outside. When Xie Yun and Jiang Nan arrived, Dali Temple, Chuzuo, and the surviving palace residents of the East Palace were all there.

Just wait for the emperor to wake up.

But this waited until the fifth watch, the bedroom in the Zichen Palace, finally there was a movement, and the palace people filed in to wait for the emperor to change clothes.

Zichen Hall and Liangyi Hall were not far away, and the emperor quickly entered Liangyi Hall.

The palace servants who were attacked could confirm that Zhang Quan had indeed gone mad and would kill anyone he saw.

Chu Zuo found that Zhang Quan had signs of poisoning before his death, and Dali Temple found out that Zhang Quan's dinner had been tampered with.

As for the three words "Gu Jiayuan" on the back, the palace people all said that it was too dark to distinguish whether it was engraved before death or after death.

At this point, the facts are clear, but the emperor is sullen.

Princess Fanghua took the opportunity to say: "Since Zhang Quan has lost his mind, why didn't he kill other people, and insisted on killing the Crown Princess? The doubts in this have not been solved yet! Could it be that he still knows how to take revenge on the Gu family?"

Jiang Nan said calmly: "It's just a coincidence, if the county magistrate of Leping hadn't stopped me and insisted on asking me to enter the East Palace as a concubine, I'm afraid I'd have returned to the East Palace long ago, and naturally I wouldn't have met Zhang It's all over!"

After a pause, Jiang Nan pretended to be surprised and said, "The one who killed Zhang Quan may be Princess Fanghua who left later! I don't know where the princess offended Zhang Quan and caused her death?"

"What did you say?" Princess Fanghua blushed anxiously, "I have no friendship with Zhang Quan, let alone any enmity!"

"Is this true? How do I remember that when Zhang Quan's daughter Zhang Xiuzhi hosted a banquet at home, the princess gave a generous gift. Everyone said that the princess intended to make friends with the Zhang family. Did something unpleasant happen later that caused the disaster?" ?”

What Jiang Nan was talking about was that Zhang Xiuzhi was expelled from Xuanwuhou's mansion. In order to save his reputation, he held a banquet at the mansion and invited many famous ladies from the imperial capital. Princess Fanghua planned for her brother Yongwang, so naturally she went happily.

Zhang Quan is the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, and being with Zhang Quantao is almost like poaching the corner of the Holy Majesty, so all personal relationships are very secretive, and can only be carried out through Zhang Xiuzhi's name.

"You spit out blood..."

Princess Fanghua was in chaos, and she slapped the table in front of everyone, and was angrily reprimanded by the emperor: "What kind of dignity is it? You still don't want to get out!"

Princess Fanghua glared at Jiang Nan, and reluctantly said goodbye. The emperor glanced around and ordered: "Except for the princess, everyone will step down!"

"Yes!"

Everyone stayed up all night, hearing this, they retreated outside the hall without any hesitation, as if they were pardoned.

The hall was empty at once, the emperor looked at Xie Yun who was still sitting still, and lightly reprimanded: "Prince, why don't you retreat?"

"Father, the Crown Princess is too frightened and may not be able to reply properly. I will help you keep an eye on her."

Xie Yun's rhetoric was too clumsy, he didn't even bother to find an excuse, or maybe he was just expressing his position that he would not leave and would not let the princess be wronged.

A little domineering.

The emperor glared at him and snorted coldly: "Do you think she looks overly frightened? She killed Zhang Quan, what else can't she do?! She is so capable, can you be used?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nan got up, walked to the center of the hall, and knelt down.

"Killing Zhang Quan is only for self-protection, my father is angry, but please punish me!"

The emperor leaned over, put his elbows on his knees, stared at Jiang Nan with lightning eyes, and sneered: "Your attitude is more upright than the prince's, and there are punishments, I don't know if you can bear it! Come on!" "

The emperor gave a soft cry, and Wang Degui, who was standing outside the hall, nodded, and then a prisoner was escorted by the imperial guards forward.

Jiang Nan kept bowing her head and kneeling until a person was left beside her. She glanced out of the corner of her eye, and when she saw the appearance of the person beside her, she immediately held her breath and calmed down, a little panic flashed in her eyes.
