As she turned to leave, she heard Fusu call her, "My lord—"

The two words that came out of his mouth made her feel cold.

Every inch of muscles and bones is clearly rejecting these two words.

She even felt that Fu Su was laughing at herself, look, she tried everything and worked hard for half a year to sweep away the traces he left in her body, but it didn't work at all.

As soon as he said "My lord", he could clearly remind her that every word of joy that had been wrapped in sugar in the past was quenched with poison, embedded in her flesh and blood, so that once she heard it, the poison would attack once.

Lin Weixu didn't look back, she closed the entire white forest, closed the palace gate of Muyuan Hot Spring, and then fell into the water.

Scrubbed her body over and over again, as if the harder she worked, the more she could wash herself clean, as if the traces of the merman left on her body could be completely eliminated.

In the end, not only did she fail to forget the traces of the merman as she innocently wished, but she also ripped off the gauze that Chi Yinghan carefully bandaged for her.

Lin Weixu suddenly fell silent.

It was very quiet, very quiet, and I stared down at the water, and finally realized what I was doing ridiculously useless......

She slowly closed her eyelashes and sank herself to the bottom of the hot spring, listening to the sound of the water with her eyes closed, very dull, distorted sound of the water swaying in her ears.

She seems to be in a silent and oppressive space, and even the sound of water is interpreted as her suppressed breathing.

Almost on the verge of drowning, Lin Weixu finally emerged from the water, raised her head, closed her eyes, and let the water droplets trickle down her forehead between her hair......

After a while, she raised her hand and wiped her cheeks, opened her moist eyes, swam to the shore, and lazily lay down on the shore, half-immersed in the hot mist water.

Soon she bent down her shoulders and neck, buried her face between the crooks of her arms, and after a long period of depression, she finally slowly let out a breath of turbidity and jumped up from the hot spring.

Lin Weixu pulled up his robe and put it on.

Returned to the book pavilion, returned to his previous cold appearance, sat down, dipped his pen in ink, and spread out a letterhead with a paperweight.

Lin Weixu wrote a letter to his brother.

The content of the letter was very concise and to the point, so that Shen Jue was ready to return to Beijing.

She had to redress Shen Jue's original grievances as soon as possible, not only for the sake of gentleness, but also to consolidate her weakened power in Beijing.

Because - she wants to avenge her mother.

If in the past, all she wanted to do was to find her mother's whereabouts, rescue her mother, and trace the truth of her master's departure, then what she wanted to do most at this moment was to bring down Emperor Daqin.

Her mother could endure this humiliation and leave on her own, and she also left a letter telling her to live for herself, but she could not pretend that nothing had happened in this matter and continue to work for the emperor.

Lin Weixu herself is one of the wicked people in the mouths of everyone in the capital, not to mention that she only needs to think that for so many years, her mother has been imprisoned in that deep palace and suffered humiliation, she vows that she will not stop.

Lin Weixu tried his best to focus on this matter, and did not allow himself to have spare time to think about anything else.

The next day, Chi Yinghan came in through the door of the back wall.

The guards in the National Teacher's Mansion were a little stunned when they saw that it was Chi Xiaohou Ye who came in, but they didn't stop it.

After all, the relationship between Chi Xiaohou and their national teacher is more intimate than that of Mrs. Gu......

The reason why Chi Yinghan came in from the backyard over the wall was mainly because the news of the Praetorian Guard's search of the National Teacher's Mansion last night spread in the capital, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chi Yinghan did not enter from the main gate.

After entering the mansion, Chi Yinghan asked the person below where Lin Weixu was, and then went to Muyuan.

At this time, Lin Weixu was in the library and instructed Xu Bai to do some things next.

When the knock on the door sounded, Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, and went over to open the door under the nod of the national teacher.

"Are you busy?" Chi Yinghan walked in, saw a lot of scrolled files stacked on the table, and asked.

Lin Weixu put away the scroll in front of him and said casually: "That's probably it, Xu Bai, you should retreat first." ”

Xu Bai's chin responded, and then he went out.

Chi Yinghan looked around and asked softly, "Is Aunt okay?" ”

"She's gone." Lin Weixu said calmly without any emotion.

Chi Yinghan was very keenly aware that Lin Weixu's mood was wrong, looked at her, and finally didn't ask anything.

Although he was a little caught off guard, Qu Feirong's departure would indeed make Lin Weixu's situation less oppressive.

Therefore, he guessed that Qu Feirong should have left with Lin Weixu on his back......

And Lin Weixu has never been accustomed to exposing his weak side in front of others, let alone showing anything in front of others.

Chi Yinghan was silent for a while, sat down, warmed the tea on the table for her again, and poured her a cup.

Lin Weixu said "thank you", took a sip, put it down again, and continued to focus on flipping through the papers.

Chi Yinghan glanced at the files she flipped through, probably caught some keywords, and asked, "Are you turning over Shen Jue's case?" ”

Lin Weixu: "Hmm. ”

"When I was in the south before, I heard about this case, didn't it say that Shen Jue was sentenced to exile?"

"He was framed."

"Weiwei, look at this matter from another angle, the Shen family...... Isn't it the Zhennan Mansion of the past? The old man in my house...... It was for me that he gave up his power and retreated from the court, so Zhennan Mansion was spared, and Shen Jue ......" Chi Yinghan looked at Lin Weixu steadily, "Shen Jue's case seems to be an unjust case, but in fact, you and I know what the truth is." What you are going to do this time, Your Majesty will not agree to. ”

"It's his business to disagree with, I'm going to do this, it's useless for anyone to disagree."

When Lin Weixu said this, his tone was surprisingly calm, and he was not half impulsive, as if he had made up his mind a long time ago.

·

At the same time, inside the palace of the prince of the East Palace.

"What's the use of turning over this case now?" Wen Cheng frowned when he heard Fu Su say that he wanted to reopen Shen Jue's case, and he couldn't quite understand Fu Su's intentions.

"You don't need to take the initiative to mention it, then someone will throw bricks and lead this case out, and then you just need to echo it in the court."

Wen Cheng hesitated slightly: "Father...... I don't think you agree, right? ”

"What you need now is further support from Wen Qian, Wen Qian and Shen Jue have a lot of relationship in the past, if you can speak up for Shen Jue in this matter, I am afraid that Wen Qian will not be on your side in the future?"

Hearing this, Wen Cheng suddenly realized and pondered further.

Indeed, if you have support in the true sense of gentleness in the future, it must be more reliable than the hypocrisy on the surface.

While talking, Li Nan hurriedly entered the hall, and he didn't care about anything else, walked behind Fu Su, and whispered anxiously: "Pavilion master, something happened to the little shark!" ”
