At the door of the Xiao Mansion, Xie Yao stood in front of the carriage with his sleeves folded and stood for a long time, moving his lips as if he wanted to call for something. After being stunned for a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and helped Suzaku's hand Shi Ran got into the carriage. The moment she lifted the curtain and entered, a hint of loss flashed through her eyes. In this life, it is impossible to see the existence that can protect him all the way, both brother and friend.

Looking at the incense burner quietly burning on the table in front of him, Xie Yao took out a weak water dagger from his sleeve with his eyes narrowed. The blade is especially cold and snowy, and the blade reflects her black and white eyes with a clear look but a very cold look. Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but sigh a few times, then bent his fingers and struck the sword body, and sang a song of "White Horse Chapter" from the old Yuefu in harmony.

The cold voice seemed particularly lonely in this silent night, but it made people feel extremely sad.

Seeing Xie Yaoguang like this, Suzaku on the side lowered his voice and said, "Miss......"

"Nothing. It's just that I used to be lazy before, and now I have to do a lot of things by myself, and I inevitably feel a little unaccustomed. At this point, Xie Yaoguang chuckled, withdrew the weak water dagger into his sleeve, and returned to a gentle smile on his face, "I heard from you a few days ago that Xiao Xi and Lu Zhu are already married?" Remember to make up for me a congratulatory gift. ”

"Rest assured, the slave has already sent someone to deliver the gift. Xi Gongzi said that he would return to Beijing in the near future, and he would definitely visit him in person when the time came. The words fell, and Suzaku handed over the freshly brewed tea, and his tone was soft.

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang nodded with satisfaction, lowered his head and looked at the tea that was still steaming in front of him, holding Weng Gai and gently playing with the foam on the tea, as if he remembered something, frowned and said, "Did Jiang Yuanzi find it?" ”

"Bai Lu has sent additional men to search the city. It may take some time. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Xie Yaoguang smiled at Suzaku and said softly, "Hmm." I have worked hard for you, and now many burdens have to fall on you. When these things are over, I'll seal a big red envelope for each of you, okay? ”

"Thank you, Miss. But that's what we're doing. ”

When the words fell, Xie Yaoguang didn't speak again, but half-lifted the curtain and looked out the window. The capital has just gone through a rebellion, although those rebels who entered the city did not disturb the people because of the strict order, but there are still people who disobey the yang and the yin, taking advantage of the moment when no one is paying attention, and the people are the first to bear the brunt of the Xie family's shops, so that the Xie family's shops have lost a lot. But fortunately, he had taken precautions beforehand, and he did not let them rob anything of value.

Thinking of this, Xie Yaoguang pursed his lips slightly, thinking about it like this, King Shou is not stupid. If King Shou really connived at the people under his command to plunder the people, even if he really succeeded in rebelling, he might not be able to sit in that position. After laughing, Xie Yaoguang put down the curtain of the car, leaned on the soft pillow and closed his eyes.

Xu was because he hadn't had a good rest during this time, and Xie Yaoguang slept very deeply in the carriage. Even when he arrived at Xie Mansion and was woken up by Suzaku, he looked around sleepily and then returned to the house to wash up and fall asleep immediately.

By the time Xie Yaoguang woke up, it was already three poles on the second day. At this time, she had just gotten up when she heard Suzaku behind the screen, saying that Gu Qingzhi and Yun Fan were both here, waiting for her in the flower hall. Hearing that Gu Qingzhi was coming, Xie Yaoguang frowned slightly, thought about it for a while, and went to the flower hall after refreshing up at will.

In the flower hall, Gu Qingzhi and Yun Fan were playing against each other, and out of the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of Xie Yaoguang coming in, and after the two glanced at each other, they put down the chess pieces in their hands and greeted them, looking at Xie Yaoguang in front of them with an indifferent face.

Xie Yaoguang, who had been stared at by the two for a long time, inevitably felt a little uncomfortable, and frowned: "Why did you two suddenly remember to come to see me?" ”

"I'm here to tell you the good news, Your Majesty is already discussing with Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day." Gu Qingzhi smiled and took Xie Yao's bare arm and pulled her to sit down.

"That's a good thing. It shows that His Majesty already has an idea in his heart. After picking up the sugar porridge brought by the Vermilion Bird and tasting it lightly, Xie Yaoguang put down the silver spoon and sighed, "Although His Majesty has not made a clear decree to make Linchen the crown prince, the ministers all know that only Linchen is the most suitable person." It doesn't matter if it's an auspicious day or not, anyway, that position will be Linchen sooner or later. ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows, "Having said that, the number of courtesies that should be taken on the bright side is still indispensable." Without His Majesty's will, there will always be some misnomers in succession. ”

"It's not that I heard from my colleagues in the DPRK and China that there have been a lot more people visiting the Jin Palace. Several people who recommended their daughters and granddaughters to King Jin were ruthlessly rejected. Of course, those people can't help it, after all, His Royal Highness the current King of Jin is also the future king, so why don't they have the opportunity to send their children and grandchildren to the palace. However, these are not important things, now His Majesty is often ill and cannot go to the court, and all the affairs are handed over to the King of Jin, and when the will of the prince is established, the King of Jin will be able to justifiably supervise the country, which is a happy event for you. Hearing Gu Qingzhi's words, Yun Fan seemed to be amused, and reached out and patted Xie Yaoguang's shoulder and agreed.

When the words fell, Xie Yaoguang didn't answer silently, but got up and walked to the window, stretched out his hand to push the window open, and the steep spring cold instantly filled the entire room. Although this matter is indeed a good thing, she has a vague premonition that Emperor Li may not agree to investigate the old case so easily. Although she already has several chips that can redress the old case.

Seeing Xie Yaoguang standing on the tuyere, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help frowning, walked over quickly, blocked Xie Yaoguang, and closed the window again, "What are you crazy about?" What do you do standing in the doorway? Today's Zhuo ...... Sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

"It's fine. Even if you don't mention me, I'll remember it, after all, he's my brother. A cold glint flashed in Xie Yaoguang's eyes, "I went to see Xiao Yannan yesterday. thanked him for saving Ting Liao back then, and by the way, he threatened him with the Xiao family's career to come forward for the old case back then. Right now, the twilight of the emperor is at the height of the new emperor's prestige, and it is just the right time to want to retry the old case, but I still need a chance. ”

One can't leave a chance for Emperor Li to counteract others. Along the way, so many people were brought down, leaving only the one who stood in their way, the initiator of the old case, Emperor Li, and only by bringing it down could many things be solved.

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will bite to death the old case, and there is no grievance at all. Those who knew the truth were dead..... It's going to be an uphill battle for you. ”

Unless it is absolutely necessary, who can let the emperor personally issue an edict against himself?

"I know that two of the key witnesses in the old case are dead. But the opportunity I wanted was never them, but the letter that Su Qing gave to Su Wan before he was exiled. That's what I want most. ”

Only the confession written by Su Qinglin can break through the dark iceberg that was hidden on the old case back then.
