Hearing that Nangong Li hadn't eaten, he immediately let the kitchen catch fire again.

"Why didn't my father leave you for lunch, are you hungry?"

"Well, it's okay, my father recruited me into the palace today, and he handed over the power of gunpowder investigation to me..."

When he was returning home, on the swaying carriage, Nangong Li was thinking about why the emperor would hand over the matter of gunpowder inspection to himself.

He thought about it all the way, but he didn't quite understand his father's intentions.

But at this moment, when he saw Mu Xue, he understood.

Because his father was not good at moving the Mu Mansion, he handed over this hot potato to his own hands and asked him to investigate.

And the victim of this matter is Mu Xue, after his husband finds out, he can directly ask his father to make the decision after finding out.

It's better than the emperor finding out by himself, and then directly sending Zhao Xiangning down.

This will make Mu Zhennan think that the emperor disposed of Zhao Xiangning because someone forced him, not him, the emperor, to do so.

Hearing that the matter was in his hands, Mu Xue was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Although my daughter-in-law criticized her father behind her father's back, I now understand where your cunning inheritance comes from..."

Nangong Li glanced at her obliquely, and his tone was cold: "In your heart, I am more than cunning, right?" ”

Mu Xue, who was recuperating with her eyes closed on the soft collapse, smiled when she heard this: "It's good that you know it in your heart." ”

There are a few.

How could he not count in his heart.

No matter what kind of person he is in Mu Xue's heart, as long as she will always be with him, he doesn't care about the rest.

"But my father should have the object of suspicion, so you can go directly to investigate..."

When it came to business, Nangong Li's expression instantly became a lot more serious.

"Well, there is an object of suspicion, either Zhao Shi, the squire of the military department, who knows the law and violates the law and uses his power for personal gain, or the person who guards the treasury guards and steals himself."

Now that there is a suspicion, the scope of the investigation is suddenly narrowed.

It will be much easier to investigate.

"Then are you going to check the squire or the man who guards the storehouse first?"

"Naturally, in order, from small to bottom, if a few of them are a partner, none of them will be able to run, in fact, Ah Li doesn't care which of them has a problem, I just need to get a confession and say that I sold that pound of gunpowder to Zhao Xiangning."

After all, now the physical evidence has been presented by Nangong Li.

Now the difference is the confession.

Naturally, he will keep the witness.

He wants to confirm Zhao Xiangning's reputation for selling gunpowder, so that she can't avoid it!!

Mu Xue has always known that Nangong Li wants to clean up a person, and he has always been ruthless and does not give the other party a chance to make a comeback.

Whoever offends him, he really can't save his life if he asks for the ancestor of Sanqing.

"I don't care how you force you to ask, how to fix Zhao Xiangning, as long as you don't implicate my father."

Mu Xue's lowest bottom line is here.

She can even ignore how Nangong Li regulates Zhao Xiangning and Mu Wanting, as long as she doesn't hurt the foundation of the General's Mansion, she won't interfere.

"This is natural, Xiao Xue'er, what you think in your heart, Ah Li Ke knows it clearly..."

As he spoke, Nangong Li had already paced to the soft collapse where she was lying, squatting in front of her, holding his head and looking at her, but he showed a well-behaved and pleasing appearance.

From the moment he arrived at his side, Mu Xue opened her eyes, and when she heard what he said so surely, she spoke: "You know me so clearly, so guess what I'm thinking in my heart now?" ”

Nangong tilted her head, lightly curled her loose long hair, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Your husband is hungry now, what you want at the moment is naturally to let me eat enough, and I will be in good spirits to investigate things in the afternoon..."

Mu Xue originally looked at him with such a determined look and thought that he could say something great, but he didn't expect it to be this sentence, I'm afraid he was really hungry.

"Look at you, why don't you have snacks on the carriage when you go out, didn't you have them before?"

In the past, every time Mu Xue rode the carriage, there would be a pot of freshly built hot tea and made snacks on it, and Mu Xue thought that this was the rule in the palace over time.

I didn't think about it, but it wasn't like that.

"I used to let the kitchen prepare it every time because you were greedy, and you and I were as delicious as you..."

Nangong Li's words successfully choked Mu Xue, and she didn't say a word for a long time, and finally said: "But the first time we entered the palace together in a carriage, you clearly didn't have such a deep affection for me..."

"Maybe I didn't realize I liked you at the time."

Hearing that Nangong didn't realize it, Mu Xue agreed with this.

After all, there was still a dust between the two of them at that time.

Thinking of this, Mu Xue thought about why the letter from Mianyang in September was not delivered.

Mu Xue remembered that Nangong Li had said that he would let the people over there deliver letters every other month, but there were many things recently, but he didn't notice this stubble.

Or did the man take the letter himself and get the news, but he didn't tell himself???

But after thinking about it, Mu Xue felt that this was unlikely.

After all, in the past, the two of them spread out this matter and talked about it, and there would be no intention of hiding it.

At this moment, Nangong Li was sitting on the edge of the couch, putting her legs on her body, and then massaging her.

She glanced at the man, and asked with some doubts: "Ah Li, I remember that when you sent that Qianchen girl to Mianyang, you ordered that a letter come over there every month, but last month's letter, why didn't we receive it??" ”

Nangong Li gave her a beating of pinching her legs and feet.

Only then did I remember in a trance that I really didn't receive a letter from Mianyang last month.

Could it be that something happened?

And what surprised him the most was that it was now October, and more than half a month had passed, and he had never remembered it.

"Yes, isn't it normal for the August letters to arrive? Why didn't you come last month....."

Nangong Li guessed that there might be some accident over there, and he had to send someone over to take a look.

"Xiao Xue'er, you sleep first, I'll go and do some things first."

Mu Xue didn't think it was anything about his hurried pace, but she was also guessing what kind of accident happened over there and what kind of accident could it be......

Thinking of this, Mu Xue got up and went to the hollow vine trellis over there.

There were a lot of wooden boxes in the compartment of this shelf, and Mu Xue took one of them and placed it on the table.

Here are all the letters sent from Mianyang in the past few months.

Mianyang Mountain is far away, and if it is not an urgent letter, it will take ten days and half a month to reach the capital.

If you write a letter on the first two days of the month, you will receive it around the middle of the month.

It is normal to start from March to August, and you can receive letters in the middle of each month, and you can probably know the treatment of Qianchen over there.

However, the letter from mid-September has not yet been received in October.

Mu Xue spread out these letters, and a light flashed in her mind.

Mid-September...

Ah Li is the birthday of September 12.

Mu Xue remembered that on the day of his birthday, his father slipped her to the Palace of Heart Cultivation, personally inquired about the matter of Na Qianchen, and told her that there was news from Mianyang in the future that she must enter the palace to tell him.

A light flashed in my head.

Brush it up.

She seemed to know something.

Mu Xue's fingers pinching the letter gradually tightened.

The emperor is already doing it behind his back...

Otherwise, it would not have been the current situation.

Mu Xue sat on the chair a little suddenly, wondering if the dust was too bad and unlucky.

And Mu Xue knew deeply why her father couldn't tolerate a woman who had no power behind her.

But now that she's caught in the middle, it's too difficult.

obviously said that they didn't hide anything from each other, but she hid such a big thing.

Mu Xue pursed her lips, her face full of worry, thinking that if it was really unfortunate for Ah Li to know the truth in the future, she really didn't know how he would annoy herself when the time came.

As long as she thought that Ah Li was kept in the dark and didn't know the truth, she felt stunned.

Suddenly, she put the letters back, one by one, and put them back on the shelf, as if she wanted to keep this matter away from herself, and she didn't care about it.

Nangong was useless for lunch, and he went out by himself when the meal was served.

Yun Zhi and Fei Qi were at a loss as they held these teas and rice.

"Princess, this prince is out again, this meal..."

"Did he tell you where he went?"

Nangong Li, as the prince, did not explain his whereabouts to the people below, so Fei Qi and Yunzhi didn't know, they only knew that the prince was in a hurry.

But before going out, Fei Qi heard something.

Because Nangong Li ran to Jiang Ci's room to ask some things before going out.

I asked about the Mianyang letter.

After Fei Qi said this, Mu Xue looked at these still steaming meals and said a little stupidly: "He personally went to the post station where the letters were picked up to inquire about this matter in person..."

There were post stations between each town, which were used not only to receive envoys and officials, but also to deliver letters.

As she spoke, Mu Xue's eyes flashed with a resentful light, as if she had lost her brilliance all of a sudden, dim.

Fei Qi and Yun Zhi both knew about it.

Seeing that Mu Xue was unhappy, he hurriedly relieved.

"Princess, don't worry, I am a person who has always been in this palace, the prince treats you more considerately than the girl back then, I haven't seen the prince treat any woman so much for so many years, it can be seen that the prince really puts you on the tip of his heart. And the prince has always felt in his heart that it was because of himself that the girl was poisoned, and the prince was only guilty in his heart, not other feelings. ”

In fact, Fei Qi doesn't need to say these things, Mu Xue understands them in her heart.

It's just that it's clear and clear.

The mood is not transparent in the end.
