When he was finally rescued on the boat, Nan Baoyi lay on the side of the boat and vomited a lot of river water.

Xiao Yi patted her back lightly and looked at her with deep and complicated eyes.

Nan Baoyi waved his hands and spat out water while saying with difficulty: "The murderer is Wen Zhining. She hired those poor scholars. The deaths of the Zhao sisters, Zui Huayin's ghost fire and blood books were all caused by her behind the scenes. Hers Dementia is just an act..."

"I already know."

Xiao Yi's voice was calm and his big palm slowly caressed her back.

"You know?" Nan Baoyi turned around in surprise, "How did you know?"

Xiao Yi glanced at the wooden cabin building.

Nan Baoyi followed his line of sight and saw that the eaves of the wooden building were high and resplendent.

In front of the threshold with a red lantern hanging, a girl stood quietly.

Wearing a pear-white coat, a green radish skirt, and a cloud bun with floral face, she looks cool and stubborn.

She didn't know what she meant: "You two, I've been waiting for a long time."

She gestured.

Several actors wearing grimace masks and carrying swords at their waists came forward and took Nan Baoyi and Xiao Yi into the guest room without any explanation. They each changed into clean clothes before being escorted into the lobby of the ship building.

The candlelight in the lobby was scattered high and low.

Only then did Nan Baoyi realize that, headed by Xiao Zizhong, all the aristocratic children who had gathered at Zuihuayin that night were here. Even her father fell to the ground drunkenly, holding a wine jar in his arms.

Countless actors wearing masks were standing in the shadows, obviously staring at them closely.

Wen Zhining sat in a high position with a cold voice: "I drugged the wine and brought them all here. Now that you two are here, everyone is here."

Xiao Zizhong held his forehead.

Although he was a member of the Xiao family's royal family, the drug Wen Zhining gave him was special and large. He could only endure it until now with a splitting headache.

He raised his scarlet eyes and said hoarsely: "Ning'er, I don't understand..."

Wen Zhining lowered her eyes and blew on the tea soup.

She chuckled: "That conspiracy was obviously planned by everyone together, so why in the end, only the crown prince and my sister died?"

The tea cup was brought to his lips, but he had no intention of drinking.

She put down the tea cup and stared at everyone in the hall: "When something happened to the Wen family, did any of you stand up and beg for mercy? My family visited you one by one, and I begged you one by one, but you closed your doors and refused to see guests! What? Fate acquaintances, what kind of youthful backbone do you have? There is no difference between you and those lifeless and rotten officials! Are you worthy of standing on the beacon tower with the crown prince and talking about the prosperous age of great harmony?! You are clearly sinners! "

The hall was silent and you could hear a needle drop.

Nan Baoyi looked at the children of aristocratic families.

Although they were drugged and unable to move, their minds were clear.

They each lowered their heads, not daring to look at Wen Zhining.

Wen Zhining's eyes gradually filled with tears and she sneered: "Why don't you speak?"

She stood up slowly and walked past them one by one with a cold face: "Pei Ziqi, the eldest son of the Pei family,

His aura, wind and moonlight, his knowledge and magnanimity are all unparalleled in the world. He once had a close friendship with the crown prince. Pei Ziqi, you watched your sworn brother die a tragic death, doesn't your conscience hurt? "

The eldest son of the Pei family had red ears, felt guilty and sad, and could not speak.

Wen Zhining looked at another person: "Zhou Tingsheng, the eldest son of the Zhou family, is very talented and has a reputation for being loyal and benevolent in the court. When he was young, he went to study with the crown prince as a teacher. The friendship between classmates and the righteousness between emperor and minister are not in him. You dare not say a word when you are in trouble. Zhou Tingsheng, is this what you call loyalty and benevolence?"

The eldest man of the Zhou family was already in tears.

"As for you..."

Wen Zhining stared down at the Ning sisters.

Before he could be harsh, Xiao Zizhong said calmly: "I didn't allow them to help."

Wen Zhining's face turned slightly stiff.

Xiao Zizhong looked at her back: "Brother and sister-in-law have already made sacrifices, why bother involving more people? It's better to conserve your strength and wait for the next counterattack. Ning'er, don't humiliate them. You have grievances, please Come at me.”

"Do you think I don't dare?!"

Wen Zhining turned around suddenly.

She pulled out a dagger from nowhere and suddenly inserted it into Xiao Zizhong's chest!

Blood gushes out, staining Wen Zhining's sleeves red.

The girl was panting heavily, and the hand holding the knife kept shaking.

She gritted her teeth and said sternly: "You personally sent my father to the execution ground, and you personally dropped the signature of execution... Xiao Zizhong, it's not that I don't dare to kill you!"

The color on Xiao Zizhong's face gradually faded.

He leaned back weakly on the chair and stared at the girl in front of him quietly.

He raised his hand to smooth her frown, but he couldn't do it at all.

After a while, he lowered his hand as if giving up. Danfeng's eyes seemed to have a thousand words to express, but in the end he just said softly: "I'm sorry."

This apology made Wen Zhining even more angry.

She was about to strike again, but Nan Baoyi finally came to his senses and hurriedly held her wrist.

She advised: "Miss Wen——"

"Shut up!"

Wen Zhining stared at her fiercely, "It's useless for you to live in officialdom, but you don't even dare to reverse the case. Nan Baoyi, you know that my sister was wronged, why don't you help her?!"

Nan Baoyi remained silent.

help?

How to help?

Now that Queen Shen is so powerful, there is only one way to die if she faces her head-on.

She said politely: "I can understand your mood——"

"You can't understand!" Wen Zhining pushed her away, "Hundreds of members of my family died on the execution ground, but you could only wear a veil, hide in the crowd and watch helplessly. You can't even stand for your parents." You can’t even give me a bowl of wine...Nan Baoyi, tell me, you can understand my mood? Hahahahaha! You can understand my mood, how can you understand my mood?!"

The girl looked up to the sky and laughed, but tears rolled down her cheeks, clearly feeling extremely sad.

Nan Baoyi's heart trembled.

She stared at Wen Zhining. At this moment, she was the master of the ship. Everyone's life and death were in her hands. Even the assassins on the ship were her confidants.

However, she was clearly so lonely.

"Ning'er..."

Xiao Zizhong called out worriedly.

Wen Zhining staggered to the center of the lobby.

There is an ancient music treasure box placed on the flower table.

The machinery is wrapped with dense copper wires, connected to the explosives at the bottom of the cabin. Once the copper wires are pulled to the end, the explosives will ignite.

Wen Zhining's face was pale and her eyes were cold: "I failed to kill Empress Shen tonight because I couldn't plan against her. But you are all sinners, so why not join me and be buried with the Wen family and the Crown Prince."

Seeing that she was about to open the music box, Nan Baoyi didn't care much and said quickly: "You have been to Nanfu and met Ah Ruo. He is not Xiao Yi's son, he is the child of your sister and the crown prince! Wen Zhining, the hope of the Wen family is still there!"

Wen Zhining was stunned.

She thought about the little guy with beautiful faces and his facial features, and she felt a little confirmed, but also a little shaken.

Her eyes quickly turned moist and crimson, and she shook her head hesitantly: "You lied to me..."
