"Is human life so worthless in your eyes?" asked Mo Ziyu.

Sun Pingling sighed slightly and said, "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, but are all living beings really equal? Although this fact is very cruel, the reality is true, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on from birth. There are tens of thousands of people living in this palace, do you know how many corpses are carried out of the west gate in a day? not everyone can be treated properly, this is a busy and orderly world, it has its own rules, I just hope that everything can get back on track as soon as possible. ”

As she spoke, she turned around and knelt beside Mi Zi, and said, "The courtiers have indeed committed the crime of deceiving the king, please punish Your Majesty!"

"Let me ask you, does Lu Qiao's death have anything to do with you?" asked Mi Zi in a deep voice.

"Nothing to do. Sun Pingling replied succinctly but firmly.

She paused and continued: "Your Majesty, the courtiers hope that everything can end here. The courtiers knew that His Majesty wanted to give Miss Jiang justice and give her an explanation, but now is an extraordinary time, and Your Majesty is cautious. ”

Mo Ziyu said: "As you said, this matter has nothing to do with you, but it is obvious that someone wants to push this matter onto you, don't you want to find out who is behind the scenes?"

"If this can be stopped, I'll take it as if I did it. Sun Pingling said, "Let you dispose of it!"

"I just want to avenge the green girl, not find someone to get angry. I'm not here to make a deal, I'm here to give an explanation to the green girl underground!" Mo Ziyu said, "I will definitely find out the murderer." ”

"Miss Jiang!" Sun Pingling raised his voice and said, "This is Nanchu, it is Nanchu who has been weathered and suffered from internal and external troubles, not Northern Xia, I can understand your feelings, Miss Jiang, but can you understand us?"

Mo Ziyu stared at Sun Pingling for a while, squatted beside her, looked into her eyes and said, "Do you already know who the murderer is? You are protecting her, who is the person you want to protect even if you make yourself confess?"

"Miss Jiang, you think too much. Sun Pingling smiled faintly, "I don't want to protect anyone, I just think everyone's energy should be focused on more correct things." ”

Mo Ziyu got up and looked at Mi Zi and said: "The murderer is not Miss Sun, but Miss Sun is also right, you have more important things to do, I will continue to investigate this matter myself, you don't have to interfere again!"

"Since the person is not in the Nanchu Palace, I have the obligation to give you an explanation. Qi Zi said, "I'll let the others continue to investigate, you don't have to worry." ”

"Your Majesty!" Sun Pingling called anxiously, "Please focus on the overall situation." ”

Qi Zi looked at Sun Pingling calmly and said: "This matter is not my will, this is the palace of the Southern Chu Palace, it is my home, someone committed murder in my house, but I can't find the murderer, so am I worthy of managing this family? Am I worthy of managing this country? Lu Qiao is a friend I met when I was in Northern Xia, and I killed my friend in my house, this is a provocation to me, do I have to endure it?" I don't care who the other party is, no matter what the other party's purpose is, he has provoked my power, he has violated the laws of Nanchu, then he should be punished as he deserves! Today, whether Miss Jiang's maid is killed or someone else, my attitude is the same, and I will not back down! I don't know what you're afraid of, but you have to remember that I am now the king of Nanchu, and I will not tolerate anyone who causes trouble under my nose!"

"The courtiers understand what Your Majesty means. Sun Pingling said, "But the courtiers still insisted on their own will." ”

"If you don't want to continue to investigate, I will let others continue to investigate, or I will investigate it myself!" Qi Zi said loudly, "Although I have just ascended the throne, I will still let everyone know that the imperial power cannot be provoked!"

"Long live Your Majesty!" Everyone present except Mo Ziyu knelt down.

Mo Ziyu looked at the imperial momentum displayed on the man in front of her, her heart sank slightly, and her right eyelid jumped, as if she had some bad premonition.

Qi Zi would be a good emperor for Southern Chu, but for Northern Xia, would it be a blessing or a curse?

At the end of April, the weather is still warm and not hot, with willows and a gentle breeze.

Mo Ziyu sat by the river and pondered, everything seemed too strange, what she was most puzzled about now was, who was the person Sun Pingling wanted to protect? She was for the rivers and mountains of Southern Chu, so if this murderer was found out, would it have any impact on the rivers and mountains of Southern Chu? Who would have an impact on the people in this net palace now?

Obviously not Jing Yao, so who else?

Lord Leyi?

If it were him, would his purpose be to keep himself? He had a lot of means, and he didn't need to use the worst one, and if it were him, he wouldn't be so insistent on finding out the murderer!

She came to talk to her that day, and she hoped that she would be able to leave Nanchu as soon as possible, so there was no need to do so.

Who the hell is it? Who else?

Why did Qi Muxuan point to Sun Pingling, and why did Chen Kai's attitude change so much before and after?

At this time, I saw two beautiful shadows coming from the willows.

One person wears a pink shirt and the other wears a long green skirt, which complements the spring color of this garden.

"Are you Jiang Liu?"

A voice came from behind, Mo Ziyu looked back, got up, and asked, "I'm Jiang Liu, who are you?"

"My name is Mi Chen, and I am the county lord of Nanchu and the cousin of His Majesty. The woman in the pink robe said, "This is Sun Pingting, the second daughter of Mrs. Sun, we heard about you, so we came to look for you." ”

"It turned out to be the county lord and Miss Sun, may I ask what the two of you are looking for me?" Mo Ziyu asked.

Mi Chen smiled lightly at Mo Ziyu: "I heard something about you, and I admire you very much." When you were in the barracks, you had superb medical skills, and you saved many soldiers, and you were very brave and powerful, saving Brother Qizi. Many people in the army admire you and regard you as a life-saver, saying that you are a fairy descending to earth, I am curious, today I finally have the opportunity to meet you as a fairy. ”

"The county lord has won the award, I just did what I could. Mo Ziyu said lightly.

"As a woman, I admire you very much, you fight for our women, women don't belong to men!" Mi Chen said, "It's just that, as the county lord of Nanchu, I hope you can leave Nanchu." ”

Mo Ziyu's eyebrows raised slightly, it turned out that he was indeed an unpopular person.

She smiled wryly: "I don't plan to stay long, I'll leave when I'm done with what I need to do." ”

"You don't know the current situation!" Sun Pingting said in a somewhat sharp tone, "Now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are persuading Your Majesty to establish the queen, my sister is the most satisfactory candidate for them, but Your Majesty has been dragging this matter and has not given a satisfactory answer." They said that His Majesty wanted to make you queen, but you are from Northern Xia, and your identity ...... You know, your identity is impossible to become a queen at all, you are the woman of the crown prince of Northern Xia, and your name is still registered on the jade butterfly of the Northern Xia royal family. ”

Mi Chen sighed slightly, and said: "I don't know if you have heard those rumors, you are now living in the palace of Southern Chu, rumors about you and Your Majesty abound, now those ministers are very worried, if you have been living in the palace, if the rumors between you and Your Majesty are true, if the prince of Northern Xia is furious, then the hard-won peace will be in vain, and Southern Chu has not recovered its vitality and cannot withstand any destruction!"

Sun Pingting continued: "My sister is their most satisfactory candidate for queen, if Your Majesty falls out with the ministers because of you, the court of Nanchu will not be peaceful, and now Nanchu has finally twisted into a hemp rope, and the strength is all in one place, we don't want to let the monarch and the ministers have a gap because of you." ”

When Mo Ziyu heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "I understand all your concerns, and I can understand them. First of all, I don't mean anything to the queen, and I am innocent with Your Majesty, I said that I will leave Nanchu, but I have to wait until I have done all the things that need to be done. ”

"Are you investigating the death of your handmaid?" asked Sun Pingting.

Mo Ziyu nodded.

"I didn't expect that anyone would really take the life and death of a servant girl so seriously, but if you really get the truth and leave Nanchu, I can tell you something. Sun Pingting said.

"Miss Sun, please speak. ”

Mi Chen pulled Sun Pingting and asked in a low voice, "Can you say it?"

"As long as she can leave Nanchu. Sun Pingting said, paused, she looked at Mo Ziyu, "Lord Leyi." ”

"Lord Leyi?" Mo Ziyu frowned, "You mean, everything is done behind the scenes by Lord Leyi." ”

Sun Pingting nodded, and then said, "I can only tell you so much, I hope you can leave Nanchu as soon as possible." ”

After finishing speaking, she and Mi Chen left together.

Mo Ziyu was stunned in place, still feeling a little incredulous, why Leyi? What is her purpose in doing this?

If it is Le Yi, it seems to be able to explain it, will Sun Pingling protect her, if the murderer is her, then Mi Zi must be investigated, and now Le Yi has a lot of resources, especially with the southern wealthy family, if you offend Le Yi, you will offend the southern wealthy family!

Mo Ziyu pressed his temples, what should he do?
