Nangong Ke groaned: "It's cold in high places! The foolish brother is the most afraid of cold, and he has never had the idea of climbing to the top! ”

Zhen Bei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she didn't want to see this clean and pure young man who was not like a mortal to suffer from the lust for profit again, and she was even more afraid of seeing him and that person become mortal enemies!

"Nangong Mingyue is in his arms, how can he be a mortal man, forgive me for being presumptuous!"

Nangong Ke saw her smile with relief, a touch of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "Brother Gu is also a good intention, foolish brother understands!" ”

There is another Yuan Day feast in the palace, and Nangong Ke is already in good health, so naturally there is no reason to refuse to participate in it.

Zhenbei sat for a while and then took her leave.

When he returned to the academy, he knew that Qin Wuchen had been waiting for her all afternoon.

"Lord Qin, why didn't you attend the banquet in the palace?"

Qin Wuchen raised his eyes to look at the sun that had long since disappeared, and said, "There are still two hours before the banquet, and there is still plenty of time." ”

When Zhen Bei saw him say this, she knew that he must have something important to tell her, and hurriedly invited him into the guest room.

"Lord Qin, has something happened?"

Qin Wuchen glanced at her deeply and asked rhetorically, "You and His Royal Highness the Nine, what is going on?" ”

In the past, whenever he needed to come to Zhenbei, Nangong He would definitely rush to come over, but this time, he actually asked Qin Wuchen to tell him on his behalf.

Zhen Bei's face froze, she turned her head away, and said coldly: "Don't mention this person's name in front of me again!" ”

The relationship between the two has always been unpredictable, Qin Wuchen saw Zhenbei's resolute attitude, and vaguely guessed that a great change must have occurred, but the parties didn't want to explain the reason, and it was inconvenient for him to get to the bottom of it.

"That's it! Don't misunderstand, you're all right—"

Before Qin Wuchen finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Lord Qin came this time, but he came as a lobbyist? If that's the case, please go back, and forgive Zhenbei can't be sent away! Zhen Bei said angrily.

Qin Wuchen looked at her in surprise, since they met, she had always been calm and wise, and she had never been so irritable and angry.

He stood in place, came back to his senses after a while, and said, "Dang, of course not." ”

As soon as Zhen Bei's words came out, she already regretted that she shouldn't be angry with him, she lived another life, and she always regarded Qin Wuchen as a relative.

People, all of them are like this, after being wronged, they can still be calm in front of strangers, maintaining dignity and dignity, but after seeing someone they can trust, they will break down emotionally, and all their sorrows will flow upstream!

Zhen Bei sniffed and said, "Lord Qin, please sit down and speak slowly." ”

Qin Wuchen stole a glance at her reddish eyes, and sat down busily.

Seeing that Zhenbei's mood had stabilized, Fang secretly sighed and said, "That's the case." Nine halls, no, that, that person has made a new discovery! ”

Seeing that Zhen Bei's eyelids were raised, and there was no radical action, he continued: "The secret guard he sent to guard the Su family found that Su Shitao was secretly in contact with a group of mysterious people, many times!" They exchanged and passed on the news through the proprietress of the restaurant in the west of the city called Kemanlou.

Just three hours ago, after Su Shitao handed over a tightly wrapped cloth bag to the proprietress, the proprietress gave him a note, and after he read it, he smiled happily.

It looks like you're making a deal.

It just so happened that the man was beside them, so he designed to lure the proprietress away for a while, and took the opportunity to open the cloth bag. Who would have thought that the thing in the cloth bag was actually a portrait of Miss Lin! ”

Zhen Bei's brows tightened, it turned out that Su Shitao asked his third brother to make that portrait because of the intention of giving people!

But who is that person, and what is the use of her portrait?

"Did you get the note that Su Shitao got?"

Qin Wuchen shook his head and said, "No." The two of them were very vigilant, and after Su Shitao saw it, he burned it! ”

How capable Su Shitao is, Zhenbei knows better than anyone else.

This person is quite scheming, with a broad-minded appearance on his face, but behind his back, he suffers from gains and losses, and is easy to be jealous of others.

He was willing to be respectful, and it must have been the other party who promised him enough benefits!

Judging from Su Shitao's current situation, nine times out of ten, what he asked for is a stable career!

The people who could wish him this wish were flashing through Zhen Bei's mind one by one.

The solemn look on her face became thicker: "What have the second prince and the sixth prince been busy with lately?" ”

Qin Wuchen thought for a moment and said, "Recently, the emperor has relied on the six princes very much, and appointed him as the cabinet supervision minister, responsible for evaluating the courtiers. And the second prince is busy making trips in the dark and blocking him to vent his anger. ”

Zhen Bei nodded slightly, and the doubts in her heart did not diminish in the slightest.

Suddenly, Qin Wuchen said again: "There is another matter, which is related to the secret matter of the backyard of the Su Mansion. I would like to ask Brother Gu's opinion, will it have something to do with Miss Lin's case? ”

"Please!" Zhen Bei hurriedly put away her thoughts and said.

Qin Wuchen pondered and said, "During the time that the secret guard was guarding the Su Mansion, he overheard this. It turns out that the second son of the Su family is not Mrs. Su's own son! ”

Zhen Bei was shocked: "Is this serious? ”

Qin Wuchen nodded and said: "It has been investigated clearly, this Mrs. Su has never conceived an heir back then, in order to consolidate her position, she forced a little maid next to her to serve Master Su on her behalf every night." After the little maid became pregnant, Mrs. Su claimed that she was pregnant! ”

What happened later, there is no need to guess, but after the little maid gave birth to the child, she was disposed of by Mrs. Su unknowingly, and the baby was brought up as Su's sister-in-law.

In her previous life, she thought that she knew everything about the people of Sufu, but she was like seeing flowers in the fog, and she never saw the true appearance of each of them, and she never found that there were countless truths, hidden in the dark.

"Did Su Shitao know about this?" In Zhenbei's mind, a bright light flashed.

Qin Wuchen said: "He should know!" ”

"But did you know it before Mrs. Su died?" Zhenbei asked again.

"I don't know." Qin Wuchen saw that she was emotional, and couldn't help but glance at her more.

After Qin Wuchen left, Zhen Bei walked back and forth in the room restlessly.

She seems to have touched the crux of the mystery of her previous life, but when she looks more closely, she is nowhere to be found.

After a while, Peony knocked lightly on the door: "Childe, Sima Gongzi has already prepared dinner for the first day, and I ask when you can come over?" ”

By this time, it was already dark, and the room was silent, no candles were lit, and no one answered.

Last time, Zhen Bei was in a coma in the room, if Nangong He hadn't discovered it in time, I was afraid that she would have been separated from them by yin and yang at this time, and every time she thought of this time, she would have palpitations in Peony's heart.

Childe has always felt shallow, and Peony raised his voice and shouted a few more times, but no one responded.

Peony and Sima Duanli glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and pushed the door in together.

"Childe!" Peony called out, took the flint out of her bosom, and lit the candlestick on the table.

The room was empty.

Sima Duanli is still the first time to enter Zhenbei's bedroom, and even peonies must be allowed to enter this room on weekdays.

After a quick glance, seeing that Zhenbei was not in the room, he automatically exited the door.

After a while, Peony also walked out: "Where did Childe go?" ”

At this time, Zhenbei, dressed in a night suit, was hiding on a high wall, and she made sure that there was no one around, so she jumped into the courtyard lightly, avoiding the people passing by, and flashed into an abandoned courtyard.

Snowflakes were already falling in the sky, and she stepped on the thin layer of snow on the ground and pushed open the mottled wooden door.

This was the courtyard where she lived in her previous life, and soon after her death, the people who served her died one after another.

It is rumored that there is a ghost in this courtyard, and her soul wanders here at night, and when it gets dark, no one dares to approach this courtyard.

Zhenbei once came here after her rebirth, and the piano score given to Nangong Ke was her collection in her previous life.

She looked at this courtyard silently, the several side rooms in front of her were her bedroom and study, and the side rooms next to it were the residence of her maid Xia Zhu.

Xia Zhu was found dead in her room the day after her death, and according to the case record, it was Zhongyi who followed her.

Zhen Bei walked towards the side room, although the room was already full of dust, but judging from the neat furnishings in the room, the owner should be a very neat and clean person.

In her previous life, although she treated Xia Zhu well, she was not so affectionate that she was like a sister, just like the room where Xia Zhu lived, she never came in.

chose Xia Zhu as her personal maid because this girl is serious and understanding, and she has always been quiet.

But now that she thinks about it, Zhen Bei was surprised to find that she didn't know much about this maid who had served her for several years, and only vaguely remembered that Xia Zhu seemed to have a young sister.

She walked over to the humble dresser and pulled open the only drawer, which, to her surprise, was a mess.

What did Xia Zhu rummage through in a panic before he died? Zhen Bei shook her head gently, according to this girl's temperament, even if the sky fell and fled soon, she would not allow such a chaotic state of objects.

The only answer, someone has been here to look for something after she died?

Zhenbei frowned slightly, there were traces of someone rummaging through her room, if someone thought about her would have something strange, she could barely say it.

However, Xia Zhu is just a servant girl, what is there that others will worry about?

There was a faint sound of drum music outside the window, and the Lin family was gathering in the living room not far away, and according to the previous practice, they would invite a few dancing girls to celebrate.

In the drawer lay a pair of porcelain dolls, the dolls were still brand new, apparently the owner had not had time to play with them after buying them.

This is what Xia Zhu plans to give to the younger sister!

When Zhen Bei reached out to take the porcelain doll, a slender black object was taken up along with the porcelain doll and fell to the ground with a "snap".

She bent down to pick up the thing, and it turned out to be a recorder that had shrunk several times over!

She suddenly remembered the sound of the flute she heard before falling asleep on the last night of her previous life, and she couldn't help but stare at her.
