Chapter 138: The Prefect Returns

Seeing that He Jingjing thought so clearly, Ye Haixuan didn't say anything anymore.

He Jingjing has always been very thoughtful, and it seems that every time he can turn evil into good fortune, there seems to be an indescribable thing behind Ye Haixuan, which makes him trust He Jingjing very much.

"Since that's the case, I don't think about Cai Shishi anymore. Ye Haixuan went back with He Jingjing after peeling off this stubble.

The next day, the prefect returned to Linzhou Mansion.

"Master, why did you come back so quickly this time?" The prefect's wife still didn't believe it, and the prefect actually came back from the capital after a day's trip.

"It was urgent, and I rushed all the way back. The prefect got off his horse panting, and then the lady hurriedly served the cold tea.

"Sir, rest for a while, Cuixiang, go make the bed. Seeing that the prefect was working hard all the way, the lady felt a little distressed, so she hurriedly called the maid over and asked the maid to make the prefect's bed.

"No need, I have important things to do in a moment. "The prefect stopped Madame.

"Master, is there anything important that you have to talk about for a while?" Madame was a little incomprehensible, and even a little angry. My lord is tired enough for business every day, and it is common for him to even fall asleep in the middle of the night.

This time, I stepped up quickly, going back and forth between the state capital and the capital for a day, and I didn't rest after such hard work.

"You don't have to ask about these things, anyway, I have something to do in a while, you go and rest. The prefect comforted the lady and went to the study again.

"Someone, go and find Ye Haixuan and He Jingjing. As soon as the prefect sat down, he summoned his subordinates to find He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan.

At this moment, Ye Haixuan and He Jingjing are eating at home, today He Jingjing cooked, made four dishes and one soup, full of color, flavor, and taste, Ye Haixuan really had a great appetite.

These days, I have been working hard in the mountains, or I have eaten a few bites on the street or in a restaurant.

Ye Haixuan's requirements for food are very high, after eating He Jingjing's craftsmanship, although he can eat other things, he is always unhappy when he eats.

Today, He Jingjing made four dishes and one soup, all of which were dishes that he had never seen before, not to mention how beautiful Ye Haixuan was in his heart.

"Ye Gongzi, Miss He, the prefect invited you to come over, saying that there is something important to discuss. ”

The He family and Ye Haixuan were eating happily, and a little guy ran in, and then said to Ye Haixuan and He Jingjing.

As soon as the two of them heard that the prefect was looking for them in a hurry at this time, there must be something very important, and then they thought of the matter they had asked the prefect before, and the two immediately put down their chopsticks.

The prefect was in the study not far away, so the two of them appeared in front of the prefect after a while.

"Coming?" The prefect was resting on the table when he heard the sound of the door being pushed and knew that it was them, so he looked up and smiled at the two.

Seeing that the prefect looked tired, He Jingjing felt a little unbearable, because the prefect really didn't have to worry less about his own affairs.

"Sit down. The prefect stretched, then came to the two of them, pointed to the chair next to the table, and said to the two.

Ye Haixuan and He Jingjing were also polite, sat down, and closed the door and left after the little servant finished serving tea.

"Do you know what I'm in such a hurry to bring you here today?" the prefect asked straight to the point.

"I'm guessing it's the result of what we asked you to investigate. He Jingjing pondered for a moment, and then said slowly.

The prefect nodded, affirming He Jingjing's statement.

"This time, it's tricky. After the prefect sighed, he took a deep look at He Jingjing and then said.

Ye Haixuan saw this look of the prefect, but he did not break it, but continued to wait for the prefect's next words.

"Then have you found out who it is?" He Jingjing asked curiously.

The prefect chose to remain silent.

He Jingjing felt that her heart was in her throat, looking at the prefect's reaction, this matter was really not simple, but who would spend so much effort to deal with himself as a small ordinary person?

"Zhong Liang, Cai Shishi?" He Jingjing tentatively said a few names, and the prefect shook his head in denial.

"This competition is hosted by Linzhou Mansion, and the person in charge is me, so families like Zhong Liang and Cai Shishi have absolutely no chance or dare to do it so blatantly. The prefect shook his head and said.

"Who is that?" Ye Haixuan was a little confused, who did He Jingjing offend, and he wanted to kill He Jingjing at such a time?

"I don't know who it is, but one thing is for sure, the power to deal with Jingjing comes from the palace. The prefect struggled to give the answer.

Hearing this, He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan were very surprised, and after glancing at each other, they said in unison: "Impossible!"

"I'm just a country girl, how can I mess with the people in the palace. He Jingjing quickly recalled the experience of "He Jingjing" over the years in her head, and found that there were no suspicious people, and the most powerful person offended was the Zhong family.

It is rumored that the Zhong family has a relationship with the palace, could it be that Mrs. Zhong ran to the palace and begged someone to kill her?

But for the sake of herself, is it necessary for Mrs. Zhong to do this?

Seeing the uncertain expressions on He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan's faces, the prefect sighed.

"Although this result is very unbelievable, it is true, there are people in the palace who are behind the trouble, and they want to use this competition to deal with Jingjing. The prefect sighed, he could only say this level, and it would not be good for anyone to continue to talk about it.

After realizing the seriousness of this problem, He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan were silent.

It seems that the situation is even worse than I thought.

"Godfather, is there really no clue at all? and there is no reason?" He Jingjing asked with difficulty.

The prefect looked at the little girl distressedly, and then shook his head. No one can guess the above thoughts, and I can't say much or ask more.

"Then I understand, thank you so much for my godfather this time. He Jingjing understood the prefect's difficulties in the whirlpool of power, so he nodded to show that he understood.

"The competition is still going on, and you still have a lot of opportunities and dangers, but remember, you must protect yourself, Haixuan, it's up to you. ”
