Zu An paused, observed carefully, and found that a group of embroidered emissaries were ambushing around, and the leader was actually Zhu Xie Chixin.

He skipped a beat in his heart, wondering when did he show his flaws?

Subconsciously, he wanted to turn around and run away. After all, hugging naked with the princess, even if he was framed, it would definitely be a capital crime.

But he immediately calmed down, the other party may not have definite evidence to arrest people here, but he would be convicted of the crime by running away.

The point is that now that the imperial palace's imperial army has been fully mobilized and the palace gate is closed, he may not be able to escape.

He took a deep breath and walked over calmly.

As soon as he showed his head, a group of embroidered messengers jumped out of the surrounding grass and surrounded him.

"What are you guys doing?" Zaun asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Xiechi walked out with complicated eyes: "Gold Medal Eleven, come with us, there is something I need you to investigate."

"What is it?" Zaun asked calmly.

Zhu Xie took a deep look at him and didn't answer, but waved his hand to signal his subordinates: "Take him away!"

Zaan didn't resist. There is a half-step Grandmaster here, and it doesn't make any sense for him to resist.

He was quickly brought back to the base camp of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy's palace - Xiulou.

He was taken all the way to a secret room underground, and Zhu Xiechi motioned for the others to go down, and interrogated him alone.

The other embroidered messengers were a little surprised. You must know that according to the usual practice, multiple people must be present when interrogating prisoners.

It's a bit taboo for the commander-in-chief to do this now.

But Zhu Xie Chixin's prestige is extremely high, and this time the interrogator is the recently extremely mysterious Gold Medal Eleven, everyone didn't say anything, and obediently retreated out.

After everyone left, Zhu Xiechi came to sit down in front of Zaan, staring at him quietly.

Zaan had also taken off his mask at this time, anyway, the other party knew his identity: "Commander, what did I do wrong, why did you arrest me?"

At this moment, Zhu Xie slammed his heart on the table, "How courageous! How dare you touch the princess!"

Zu'an suddenly "turned pale with shock": "Commander, where did you say that? This is a serious crime against the Nine Clans, so you can't make a joke."

"Who is joking with you?" Zhu Xiechi's face was gloomy, "Someone reported that you and the princess had an affair in private, is there such a thing?"

"Absolutely not. Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe in the Crown Princess?" Zu'an hurriedly said, "How long have I only been in the palace? What kind of person is the Crown Princess? How could she fall in love with me? I don't know who killed her?" Qian Dao's rumor making troubles, there is no fart in having a son."

He knew it was probably Shi Jun, but he couldn't say, because only the person involved knew that Shi Jun was leading people to hunt them down.

After watching so many episodes of Conan in his previous life, the murderer always slipped his mouth unintentionally, so now he thinks every word carefully.

"Don't worry about who reported you. You must know that there are more than one person who reported you. There are court ladies, guards and eunuchs. They have seen it with their own eyes." Zhu Xie said coldly.

"Impossible, I definitely didn't do such a thing, and I hope the commander will learn from me!" Zu An thought that when he ran, those people could at most see my back, and it was impossible to see my face clearly. It is even more impossible to see your own chest.

It seems that those who reported were indeed instructed by those who framed them.

"Then why are you out of the palace after dark?" Zhu Xie continued to ask.

"At that time, I saw that it was getting late, so I thought about staying in the small courtyard of Baisha. Anyway, I was alone in the house outside, and it would be better to stay in the palace if it was deserted." Zu'an explained.

"Stay in the palace to have fun?" Zhu Xiechi was very happy. "What do you think of the palace? This place is either a concubine or a princess. How can a man stay in the palace casually?"

Zaan muttered: "I have the identity of an embroidered clothes envoy, so I don't need it for nothing."

Zhu Xie said heartily: ""

He took a deep breath: "then why were you not there when we came to find you just now, where did you go at night?"

Zu'an said: "I just wandered around the palace. I just came to the palace. I am not very familiar with the terrain here. I am worried that the assassin incident like last time will happen again, so I plan ahead and get familiar with the terrain of the palace first, so as to avoid accidents in the future. Like a headless chicken."

"You wandered around the palace at night?" Zhu Xiechi smiled angrily, "How did I tell you that the palace is full of nobles, and you can't walk around at will to avoid suspicion, don't you know?"

"Didn't I feel bored, so I just went out for a walk, I didn't expect to encounter such doubts." Zu'an said hastily, "Commander, although I haven't been in the East Palace for a long time, I don't know the Crown Princess too well. But based on what I know about her these days, she will never do that kind of thing with other men."

Zhu Xiechi snorted coldly: "If you didn't believe in the character of the princess, do you think the emperor would be patient and let me ask you so many questions?"

Zu'an looked surprised: "It turns out that the emperor wants to ask me."

"How do you think that the emperor would not care about such a big incident." Zhu Xie said in a deep voice, "After our analysis, it is likely that you and the princess were designed by someone. Now tell me honestly. What happened between you and the princess, I can cooperate with you to deal with the aftermath."

Zu'an said seriously: "Why don't you believe it, Commander? I really didn't have anything to do with the Crown Princess. I haven't seen the Crown Princess since I left the Imperial Study Room."

Of course it was impossible for him to admit that there might be some sincerity in the conversation, whether it was the emperor or Zhu Xie Chixin who really wanted to help deal with the aftermath, but when the time comes, maybe the Crown Princess will be able to keep him, and he is definitely dead.

He still remembers that when Yun Jianyue was assassinating, he obviously saved the princess, but the emperor almost chopped off his hand because he hugged her while saving her.

I have met the Crown Princess frankly today, no matter how generous the emperor is, it is impossible for another man to defile his daughter-in-law, right?

Zhu Xie took a deep look at him, and after a long time, he lowered his voice and said, "Very well, no matter who asks you in the future, you will say that."

Zaan looked at him in surprise, is this guy helping him secretly?

It seems that selling him a favor last time was still useful.

Zhu Xiechi coughed, and his voice returned to normal volume: "Then did you see any suspicious people?"

"No," Zaun shook his head, "Not long after I went out for a stroll, I found that the palace seemed to be in a mess, and the imperial guards seemed to be searching for someone. I was worried that something might happen, so I came back, and then I was brought here by you coming."

Zhu Xiechi sat down on the chair again, tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and fell into deep thought.

The sound of fingers tapping on the table was particularly harsh in the room, with a natural sense of depression.

After a while, Zhu Xie said heartily: "Someone will take you to the dungeon for further interrogation later, and you have to know what to say and what not to say. In addition, the emperor has special instructions. Explain, you must not reveal the identity of the embroidered clothes messenger."

"Okay!" Zu'an felt relieved, the emperor said this, which proves that he still wants to help him cheat the king of Qi, so as long as he doesn't expose what he and the princess really did, the emperor probably won't kill me .

Zu'an couldn't help asking: "Why did this matter get to the prison? Shouldn't it be suppressed as soon as possible? Such a public investigation will damage the reputation of the Crown Princess."

Zhu Xiechi hesitated for a while and explained: "There is more than one mountain in the palace, and there are many forces of King Qi. They have already started to add fuel to the flames, so how can they be easily suppressed?"

"The Crown Princess has a special status, and it is not convenient to interrogate her. I must start with you first."

Zu'an secretly smiled bitterly, as expected, ordinary people in this world have no human rights.

After Zhu Xiechi left, someone soon sent him to the prison.

The right guard general Guo Zhi sighed after seeing him: "Brother Zu, I didn't expect to meet in such a situation."

Zaan smiled bitterly: "I didn't think of that either."

Guo Zhi hesitated to speak, and then, taking advantage of the people around him not paying attention, he said via voice transmission: "Zongzheng, Tingwei, and Guangluxun will come to jointly interrogate you later, so you can do it yourself."
