The ship returning to the capital of Taiye is a ship with a tailwind, and it will only take half a day before it will dock. However, in just a few days, Zhu Zhitong felt that she and Su Xiaochen had already experienced a lot, and even thought that she would not be able to see each other from time to time after going ashore, and she felt melancholy.

Su Xiaochen suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, it's not good." Zhu Zhitong hurriedly asked why.

"We first went to Nanhua Island to be entrusted by Lao Yang, but now we have forgotten all about him." Su Xiaochen couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhu Zhitong came back to her senses and laughed out loud. "That's it, he bothered to remake that dragon whisker before we got out of the liquid, and now that the ship is about to dock, how can we reply to him."

Su Xiaochen thought for a while and said: "Shen Xianyun is dead, it is estimated that there will be no one to replace the position of prefect for a while, and it is impossible for the mine to resume work." I can only say to Lao Yang that the people's sentiment is boiling, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to improve within half a month. ”

Zhu Zhitong saw that he looked old-fashioned, and snorted: "Sometimes I think that you are not very old next year, but you know a lot of officialdom. ”

Su Xiaochen also smiled: "Xu has been by my uncle's side for a long time, and he is close to Zhu Zhechi. My uncle has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he has always taught me to think deeply, and I can't learn to go home, but I have this half-baked temperament. ”

Zhu Zhitong looked at him, with a bit of approval in her eyes.

She said softly, "Da Su...... The matter of the Nanhua gold sale case is very important, if it really goes to the mother emperor, I will ...... I'm a little scared. There was a bit of hesitation in his tone.

Su Xiaochen said gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." If your mother allows me to be there, I will explain this matter for you, but I am an outsider, and what I say is even more unbiased. ”

"But it's precisely because you're an outsider that you get into the middle of the game that I don't care. After all, Lu Wenchi still has Pei Guogong behind him...... Aren't you worried? ”

"The great husband walks in heaven and earth, and he should be worthy of his heart. I will only tell you what I have seen and heard, and tell the truth, what is there to fear? Su Xiaochen blurted out. What's more......" said the second half of the sentence, but his face was red and he couldn't continue.

"What's more?"

"Besides, this matter is your business, how can I stand idly by......"

The clouds were setting in the distance, and the faces of the two of them were red, and they were silent.

It was already night when I returned to Taiye City. The two of them swaggered into the Liufang Gate, and suddenly became stubborn. Zhu Zhitong took advantage of the guards' inattention, pulled Su Xiaochen into the shadow of the tree next to him, and motioned for him to take out the silver bell rope, but with a move, he had already tied a treetop and flew over a palace wall.

Su Xiaochen was not yet proficient, and after throwing it twice, Fang tied up a horse stone outside the wall, and flew over with a rope. When the body flew into the air, I saw that there was a group of soldiers patrolling in the distance, led by a huge female general, who was Tiehua. Being in the air, and with nowhere to hide, Su Xiaochen's scalp tightened with fright, and he silently thought in his heart not to be seen. Fortunately, it landed on a lawn, quietly. Zhu Zhitong curled up like a kitten and tiptoed over, lowered her voice and said, "Bow your head quickly, Tiehua is here!" ”

Tiehua didn't seem to notice, and stood with her back to the two of them for a while, until the two of them sneaked away from under the wall, and then a smile appeared on her lips.

The two of them didn't take a few steps when they landed on Taiying Island, and the maid hurriedly greeted them, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyun knows that you are back, and she has been waiting for Fuxingtai for a long time, and I also ask Master Su to go with you." ”

The two glanced at each other, thinking that Zhu Zhiling was really anxious about this matter, so they stepped up.

On the Fuxing platform, the candles are bright.

In the huge Yingze Palace, there are only two people, it is Zhu Zhiling, the princess of the Qing Shark, and Zhao Wuyan, the concubine of the Qing Shark. When Zhu Zhiling saw Zhu Zhitong and Su Xiaochen coming in, she was overjoyed, hurriedly walked down the steps, hugged Zhu Zhitong and said, "Sister, you're back." ”

Without waiting for my sister to open her mouth, she continued to ask, "I came back so quickly, but what did I find?" ”

Zhu Zhitong glanced at Zhao Wuyun beside her sister, and then looked at her sister's slightly haggard face, and couldn't help but feel pity. She didn't say anything, just nodded meaningfully.

For a while, Zhu Zhiling didn't know whether she was happy or sad in her heart, she forcibly suppressed the inquiry in her heart, and nodded and said, "Come with me." It seemed that he had just remembered Su Xiaochen, and he also nodded to him and motioned for him to go along.

The four of them turned around the side hall, bypassed the Jiuqu Bridge, passed through the garden, and finally ascended to the highest point of Fuxing Platform. Zhu Zhitong had never been here, and couldn't help exclaiming: "It turns out that there is such a secret place, and the scenery is so good." ”

Zhu Zhiling smiled, "This Guanyue Tower is the sleeping place of me and the two of them, even my mother has never been here, so you naturally don't know." Okay, there's no one else here, so you can tell me more about Nanhua Island. ”

Zhu Zhitong and Su Xiaochen glanced at each other, and then opened their mouths from the time they met Shen Xianyun when they went to the island, and continued to say that Wen Hegui sent someone to send the two of them back to the Taiye National Capital. Hearing this, Zhu Zhiling's brows tightened, and when he heard that the demon beast appeared in the mine, he was already incredulous. Looking at Zhao Wuyun again, when he heard Shen Xianyun and Pan tell the truth about his father's unjust death, his fair and thin face was already flushed, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire.

He slapped the table heavily, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said to his wife, who was already stunned, "Ling'er, I think I have guessed who was the person who secretly sent me a letter to tell me the truth about my father's death in the mine. ”

Zhu Zhiling also came to her senses, nodded and said, "I didn't expect it to be him, Wen Hegui!" I have had several encounters with him, and I never thought that this person was the one who knew everything about the Nanhua gold case, let alone that he conspired with Lu Wenchi to kill your father. ”

Zhao Wuyin was so angry that the green tendons on his neck burst out, and he almost gritted his teeth when he thought of the wrongs he had suffered since he was a child. He said hatefully: "Shen Xianyun is already dead, and the remaining two people, Lu Wenchi and Wen Hegui, I will definitely split them into five parts, so as to avenge my father's murder!" ”

Zhu Zhiling was still much calmer than her husband, she handed him the teacup and signaled him not to lose his temper first. Then he turned to his sister and said: "Actually, I have also thought carefully about how wise the imperial grandmother was back then, and personally reviewed the account books of the Nanhua Mine for half a year, but I didn't find any false accounts, but I didn't expect that the fake was not the account books, but the ore." It's no wonder that Lu Wenchi wants to pretend to be a ghost and want to seal the mine, but I didn't think of this section. It's just that this gold erosion water is really incredible. I wouldn't have believed it unless you had seen it for yourself. ”

Zhu Zhitong smiled, took out the bottle of gold erosion water left by Shen Xianyun from the deerskin bag she carried, handed it to her sister, and said, "Wen Hegui also gave me the remaining gold erosion water, so that I can use it as evidence in the future." Zhu Zhiling cautiously took it and looked at it, but handed it back, and said, "You have to bring something, I won't interfere this time." After speaking, his eyes also cast gratitude to Su Xiaochen. Zhu Zhitong knew that she didn't want to be in it, so she took it back.

Zhu Zhiling sighed slightly: "Hearing you say this, now that Shen Xianyun left behind the book and appendix, it should have arrived at the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion?" ”

"It should be."

"Wen Hegui has such insight into the situation of the court, what he said is indeed reasonable, then we just need to wait for the governor of southern Xinjiang to play." Zhu Zhiling muttered to herself.

"Why do you have to wait so hard, you will order the governor of Southern Xinjiang to come to Taiye City tomorrow to ask clearly, and the truth will be revealed?" Zhao Wuyun couldn't help but feel another wave of anger surging upward.

Zhu Zhiling shook his head and said, "No." Wufang, I know that you are suffering in your heart, but we have endured it for so long, and it is the last moment, you must calm down for a while, and do not mess up the big plan. When she said this, she glanced at Su Xiaochen, coughed dryly, and said, "I mean...... Don't be rash. After all, although the truth is important, it is more important to let the mother know everything about it. The most important thing for us at the moment is to avoid it. The less we participate, the more the Mother will believe. ”

She paused again and continued: "I can't know more than Liu Mingyan, the governor of Southern Xinjiang, this person is extremely cautious in nature, if she knows that the little sister has explored and understood the Nanhua gold case, she will definitely play it in order to clear up the involvement. At this time, if I can't bear to call her into the liquid for a while, she will be suspicious in her heart, thinking that I am behind it, but she wants something bad. ”

Su Xiaochen meditated in her heart, sure enough, Zhu Zhiling's mind was exactly what she expected before, that is, she wanted to use her sister's hand to provoke this old case, but she watched the fire from the other side to avoid harm behind the wall, which was very similar to what she could do. It's just that what is the big plan she said?

Zhu Zhiling took her sister's hand again and said, "Little sister, it's not that my sister wants to hide it from you. My sister really wants you to help investigate the Nanhua gold case before letting you go to Nanhua Island, but you must not let your mother know about this matter, if she knows the reason, she must suspect that it is me and Wuyun who have no wind and waves behind this matter. You also know your mother's temperament, if she is suspicious, she will no longer be able to overturn the case for her father. The matter ...... This matter can be regarded as my sister begging you, okay? ”

When it comes to the bitterness of my heart, I almost cry. Since I got married, I haven't been caught between my mother and my husband for a day. , Now that he has finally been able to see the clouds, how can he lose a big one because of a small loss, even if he bows his head to his sister once, it is nothing.

Zhu Zhitong hurriedly helped her sister up and said with relief: "How can I not know my sister's suffering, although I spend my days laughing and laughing, my sister's difficulties are also in my eyes. What if I went to Nanhua, Hengzhu was also the sister I came to find first, and my sister agreed. Besides, Nanhua Island has been in danger these days, and I also feel that it is ...... Felt...... It's funny. After speaking, he glanced at Su Xiaochen, and his face turned red.

Zhao Wuyin calmed down a little, and also gave Zhu Zhitong a look, and said: "The little sister has worked hard this time, and she has indeed found out the truth about the unjust death of her deceased father, and I think he will also be grateful for the kindness of the little sister under Jiuquan." Belch...... There is also Bachelor Su, who is worthy of the tall feet of Mu Yun's family, wise and brave, admirable and admired. ”

Zhu Zhiling heard him say this, and also echoed: "Bachelor Su can be called a pillar of talent, and I will definitely add a good touch to Bachelor Su in the future in replying to the national letter of Cangwu Kingdom." It's not in vain to accompany my little sister this time. ”

Su Xiaochen hurriedly waved his hand and saluted: "Your Highness is serious, Your Highness is the monarch of the blue sea in the future, and when you work together with Cangwu to reject the Imuran Kingdom, you will still have a long time to come, even if you take precautions in the future, let's do your best for the friendship between the two countries before Your Highness ascends the throne." ”

Zhu Zhiling couldn't help but laugh a few times when she heard the words "Reject the Heart" together, and she didn't pick up the stubble, but only opened the topic and said: "Now that the truth is clear, the next step is to see how to let the mother emperor personally judge this case, and this matter needs to be carefully planned." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, looked at the brightly lit Laiyi Palace in the distance, and said to himself: "The mother emperor has never liked to revisit the Nanhua gold sales case, how can she let her come to this Fuxing Platform by herself and listen to the ins and outs." ”

Zhao Wuyun instead dispersed his sadness, and chuckled: "Ling'er, I have a way, when Liu Mingyan, the governor of southern Xinjiang, enters Taiye City, I will ask my aunt to find a reason to invite Your Majesty to come to this Fuxing Platform, if you bump into Liu Mingyan in person, you will naturally be wrong to hear about this old case with your own ears." His Majesty also knew that at the time of the incident, his aunt was not in Bihai, because she had nothing to do with the case, and he would not suspect her. ”

Zhu Zhiling's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "Although this method is good, it's just that my aunt is willing to come to this troubled water." ”

Zhao Wuyin said unhurriedly: "My aunt was very affectionate to my father back then, and she has always been haunted by my father's death. I had a relationship with her before, and she promised to help me once about my dead father. Wouldn't that be the case? ”

Su Xiaochen was secretly frightened when he was listening, how could Princess Zhu Yuxiao of Yinquan still have this old relationship with this Zhao Yu? I don't know if Uncle You knew it before his death.

Zhu Zhiling nodded and praised: "This plan is very good, in this way, we only need to think about some small things." ”

The two of you have been discussing it for a while, and they have completely forgotten that Zhu Zhitong and Su Xiaochen are still hanging there.

Zhu Zhitong shouted on the side: "Sister, Da Su and I haven't eaten yet." As soon as he entered the city, he rushed over the eaves and walls, and was almost bumped into by the iron flower on the way. Since it's a minutiae, let's talk about it tomorrow, okay? ”

Zhu Zhiling smiled, "It's my sister who is confused, my sister is going to ask someone to go down, I have been talking for half a day, I forgot about dinner, Master Su laughed." ”

Su Xiaochen smiled back and said: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, speaking of which, I would like to thank Your Highness for being thoughtful and specially ordering Tiehua to teach me the stick method, which will be of great benefit to this trip to Nanhua." ”

Zhu Zhiling was stunned when she heard this, and said blankly: "Let Tiehua teach you the stick method?" I don't. ”
