When it was near noon, the fever subsided, but he was still tired, Mo Ran got up to wash, and the maid put a bowl of white porridge and a few dishes on the table.

The bland and tasteless white porridge tasted nothing in his mouth, and Mo Ran stopped moving after a few sips.

Biluo walked in from outside the house, holding a box in her hand, she walked up to Mo Ran, "Miss, this was sent in by the little maid at the door, and it was said that King Huainan brought it." ”

King Huainan? Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, groping in his heart for sporadic memories of King Huainan, "But the mother concubine died early, and the tenth prince of the first emperor who went to the Jianghuai fiefdom?" ”

"Yes, it is said that my daughter came back from the fiefdom before the festival."

Mo Ran said strangely, she had no intersection with him, how could she send a box, she opened it and saw the white hosta she had dropped lying quietly inside.

This white hosta was accidentally dropped when he went to the Qiushan market with Jiang Junqing, and was actually picked up by the king of Huainan, could it be that he was also in the market that day, and Mo ran a trace of uneasiness in his heart, if he really saw it, he should have figured out his relationship with the regent.

She sighed and asked Biluo to put away the white hosta.

In the afternoon, Mo Ran asked the little maid to prepare the horse and went to Duobao Pavilion again.

It was the woman in red again, Mo Ran said that she wanted to see Mr. Zhou, and the woman took her to the second floor and asked Biluo and Liu Ying to wait outside.

"I figured it out, I will investigate the cause of my father's death, and I will not let go of any of those who framed him as a thief."

Zhou Qing let out a long sigh, "Your parents know that they don't want you to do this." ”

"Uncle Zhou, you must have secretly investigated a lot over the years, just tell me, who framed my father?"

Zhou Qingshi still didn't say anything, he frowned tightly, and his heart was entangled.

Mo Ran stared at the hot water in the teacup in front of her, curling white smoke, her eyelashes were stained with a little mist, and her misty eyes were full of indignation, "Uncle Zhou, do you know that I haven't seen my father since I was a child, the hero who was once sung by everyone, he was supposed to continue his glory but was killed by gangsters and died young, and my mother has been forcibly occupied by Su Yingzhi and incorporated into the Su Mansion since then, but she has not received any name for the rest of her life, and she has lived in the same disgraceful courtyard for the rest of her life." ”

She changed her tone and clutched the lid of the teacup tightly, "Uncle Zhou, my mother is an old friend of you, my father has been charged with rebellion for eleven years, and he can't even enjoy the burial of the marquis after his death, and my mother can't enter the lintel for the rest of her life, and she won't even have a tablet after death!" Is this what you call a quiet life? ”

The porcelain cover in her hand was completely crushed, and the slag fell to the ground and scratched the palm with scarlet blood, which was shocking, she didn't seem to feel any pain, and her eyes stared straight at the man with tears in front of her.

She closed her eyes in some pain, "Uncle Zhou, even if you don't want to help me, it's okay, I will rely on my own strength to pull down those who deserve it and make them pay!" ”

After speaking, she got up and was about to leave, when she turned around, the man behind her, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"I'll tell you."

He lowered his head and repeated to himself, "I'll tell you, who framed your father." ”

Mo Ran sat down again, Zhou Qingshi saw the wound on her hand, and took out a clean strip of cloth from the drawer on the side to bandage her.

"Do you know who the Empress Dowager's father is?"

"Protector General Yuan Yuxin."

Yuan Yuxin, mentioning this name, Mo Ran didn't feel cold, in her previous life, she was horny, and her bones and ashes were all thanks to him.

Zhou Qingshi nodded, and carefully picked up the glass residue in her hand with tweezers, "At that time, Yuan Yuxin was not a general, and the Empress Dowager Yuan was only a concubine by the side of the first emperor. The emperor said that he wanted to rebel. ”

Mo Ran's hands trembled unconsciously, and he didn't know whether it was the burning sensation coming from his palm, or the growing hatred in his heart.

Zhou Qingshi didn't notice her reaction and continued, "There is another person who is crucial. He stopped suddenly, his lips pursed into a line, as if it was extremely difficult to speak.

Aware of all this, Mo Ran asked him, "Who is this person?" ”

He didn't speak for a long time, and a figure vaguely appeared in Mo Ran's heart, and a name blurted out, "Jiang Junqing? ”

Guessed by her, Zhou Qingshi raised his eyes to see her reaction, but saw that her eyes were calm, and her dark pupils reflected the flickering candle on the table.

"Why did they collude?" The voice was low, more like muttering, Mo Ran was actually in a trance, "Empress Dowager Yuan regards Jiang Junqing as a thorn in her side in the court, and constantly exploits her power, how can they ......?"

"Jiang Junqing is actually the adopted son of Yuan Yuxin, and really speaking, the Empress Dowager Yuan and him are still cousins and brothers." After speaking, Zhou Qingshi sighed again, "That's why I don't want to tell you." ”

She stared at the tea that had already cooled, and was surprised for a long time without saying a word, and only asked in a low voice for a long time, "How did you know about my relationship with Jiang Junqing?" ”

"The guards that your father raised privately during his lifetime were not slaughtered. Kill, but now scattered everywhere, your father was afraid that I would be retaliated against because of their relationship with me, so he sent two or three people to protect me, and not long after your mother's accident, I asked one of them to go to Su Mansion to protect you secretly. ”

"By the way, spy on me?" Mo Ran sneered back at him.

Zhou Qingshi's face turned pale instantly, "It's not surveillance, it's that I'm afraid that you know everything recklessly." ”

After he bandaged the wound, Mo Ran withdrew his hand, "The batch of dark guards raised by my father is very powerful?" ”

"Yes, they are all masters of one top and one top, and there are many legends about them on the rivers and lakes, but even if someone can capture them alive, it is a pity that there is no way to order them."

"Then how do you order them?"

"Wrench. Your father has a jade wrench. ”

"Where's that wrench now?"

"When your father had an accident, he took the wrench to your mother and asked the group of secret guards to escort your mother out of Luoyang, but in the end your mother came back, and the wrench should have been hidden by your mother."

Through the candle flame, her eyes were full of melancholy, "It must be that my mother didn't want to live alone, so she returned to the imperial city." ”

She took a sip of her tea, trying to suppress the anger that was pouring out of her mouth.

"Does Su Yingzhi know that I am not him?"

"I must know, after all, your mother was pregnant when she was taken to Su Mansion by Su Yingzhi."

She smiled faintly, but her eyes were endlessly cold, since her previous life, she has never understood why her father favored Su Yingrong among the two daughters, she only thought it was because she was pampered in her previous life, and she didn't want her father's heart, but she didn't expect it to be such a reason.

"You just said I had a secret guard by my side to keep me safe?"

Zhou Qingshi nodded.

"How do I find him?"

"He won't be discovered by you on weekdays, if you want to find him and call him by his name—Gocher."
