Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 543 People are taken away, King Ping appears

"I know, I know." Xiao Yan'an patted Lu Hongru's shoulder as if to comfort him, "However, the case has come to this point, and it is difficult to make a conclusion without solid evidence."

"Don't worry, my lord. There is no unsolved case in my hands! Although I didn't find any clues this time, Xiao Jincheng will continue to be detained in prison. Those who wanted to kill you didn't succeed this time, but there is no guarantee that they won't attack you next time. Before this case is solved, you must pay special attention to your safety."

"Thank you, Lord Lu, for the reminder. I will." Xiao Yan'an nodded solemnly.

"Sir, to be honest, I have sent some people to secretly protect you. If those people attack you again, they won't be as lucky as last time. As long as we catch them, the case will be closed."

"Lord Lu's ability is beyond doubt!" Xiao Yan'an gave Lu Hongru a thumbs up, "Lord Lu, I want to ask if it would be convenient for me to meet Xiao Jincheng?"

"Xiao Jincheng is imprisoned on death row, and visits are generally not allowed."

"Lord Lu, he hates me so much, maybe he will have something to say after seeing me?"

"This..." Lu Hongru hesitated, but since it was related to the case, he could make some concessions, "Sir, I will go with you personally."

"How dare I trouble Lord Lu? Lord Lu can just send someone to accompany me."

"Okay." Lu Hongru responded and immediately arranged someone.

"Master Lu, there is one more thing. Xiao Jincheng's concubine is still in your house. She is nominally a member of the Huaiyang Palace. My wife and I have to intervene even if it is because of our father and mother's face. Why don't you let me take her back today? It's quite troublesome for you to keep her here all the time. We will take her back to your house. Whenever you need her, just summon her."

"Okay." Lu Hongru nodded.

He also investigated this Ming'er and found that he had little to do with the case, so he could be released.

Xiao Yan'an met Xiao Jincheng.

Xiao Jincheng was wearing a white prison uniform, with disheveled hair. He huddled beside a pile of straw, mumbling something.

Xiao Jincheng discovered that Xiao Jincheng had injuries on his body, which must have been due to torture.

Lord Lu has his own way of solving cases.

Xiao Jincheng didn't dare to give up the emperor, so he must have suffered a lot.

"Xiao Jincheng!" The person who came with Xiao Yan'an shouted.

Xiao Jincheng trembled all over, raised his head, and there was endless fear in his eyes.

When he saw who was coming, he immediately rushed towards the prison door.

"Brother! Save me! Please save me! We are brothers! Father will definitely not have the heart to see us killing each other, and he definitely doesn't want me to die!" Xiao Jincheng grabbed Xiao Yan'an's clothes tightly.

Xiao Yanan's visit to the death row to see him was his life-saving straw.

"Can I talk to him alone for a few words?" Xiao Yan'an asked the jailer beside him, and put the change in his hand in front of the jailer.

The jailer immediately took the silver and said, "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

Xiao Yan'an looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, his eyes fell on Xiao Jincheng.

"Xiao Jincheng, you know that my father can't bear to see us brothers killing each other, so why do you keep killing me? Do you think you can replace me by getting rid of me?"

"I was wrong, brother. I was bewildered. I know my mother's death has nothing to do with you! She died in my grandfather's house. I took my anger out on you. I have evil intentions!" Xiao Jincheng was full of desire to survive at this moment and could say anything.

Xiao Yanan shook his head in disappointment, "How could you become like this?"

"Brother, please save me!" Xiao Jincheng suddenly burst into tears, "Except for you, no one can save me."

"Xiao Jincheng, you pushed yourself to a dead end. You no longer have me, your brother, or your father in your heart! Think about it, what kind of sinister plot is this to ask you to kill me and replace me? What exactly does he want you to do? Is it as simple as just killing me and replacing me? Will he really give you what you want in the end? Can't you see that he wants the lives of all the people in our Huaiyang Palace? If the Huaiyang Palace no longer exists, what's the point of you getting the position of the prince?"

Faced with Xiao Yan'an's questioning, Xiao Yan'an was completely dumbfounded.

"You know, you know it all!"

"Why do you think I was detained in the imperial capital? Anyone who has nothing to do with us can see that I was detained in the imperial capital as a hostage in order to contain my father. The moment you chose to follow his arrangements, you had already given up on my father and your family."

Xiao Jincheng let go of Xiao Yan'an and involuntarily took two steps back.

I was crying and suddenly I started laughing.

I laughed and then I started crying.

"Why? Why were you born as the prince? You don't have to fight or compete. Why does the king only have eyes for you? He has never taken a good look at me! He only loves you! Does he have a son like me in his heart?"

"If you keep thinking this way, then just keep going on like this, no one can save you. Today, I'm here to see you off, and it can be considered as a last journey for you. The truth of this case will come out sooner or later. I'm not letting you die now so as not to embarrass my father. The day the case is revealed will be the day you die." After Xiao Yan'an finished speaking, he turned and left.

Xiao Jincheng looked at Xiao Yan'an's departing back, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Not long after, a man dressed in black walked in.

The jailer was about to speak when he saw him take out a token.

"Open the cell door."

The jailer did not dare to delay and hurried forward to open the cell door.

Xiao Jincheng looked at the man with horror, "Don't come over here, I know you are here to kill me and silence me! I will stay in jail and not go anywhere!"

A hint of impatience flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes, and he punched Xiao Jincheng in the face.

Xiao Jincheng was knocked unconscious immediately.

The man in black waved his hand, and two more people came in and carried Xiao Jincheng out.

When Xiao Jincheng opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar room.

The decoration in the room looks very luxurious, not like that of an ordinary home.

He couldn't help but raise his hands and look at his hands.

Isn't he dead?

What is this place?

Could it be that the emperor didn't want to kill him to silence him? And he rescued him from death row?

"Second Young Master, you're awake." A maid walked in and was somewhat respectful to Xiao Jincheng.

Xiao Jincheng was even more confused.

"Where is this? Who are you?" Xiao Jincheng asked immediately.

"My Lord, this is Prince Ping's Mansion. I am your maidservant. My name is Xiaoju."

"Prince Ping's Mansion? Why am I in Prince Ping's Mansion?" Xiao Jincheng was even more confused and had no idea what was going on.
