For two days in a row, the guards at the gate of Xueliu Courtyard did not leave an inch.

Ming Ran leaned against the railing of the cloister, snowflakes floating around her.

"Alas, I knew that I would be imprisoned when I came back from the palace, so it was better not to come back."

She lowered her head and brushed the snowflakes off her body, and turned back to her room.

"Miss......" Zhuqing's voice came, and the sound of hurried footsteps got closer and closer.

Mingran reclined on the soft couch, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Can you find out?"

Zhu Qing stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "After King Chen took over the Texas Army in June last year, most of them were training in the training camp outside the city, so the slaves and maids didn't find out anything. ”

Ming Ran sat up, "Then what major events have happened to King Chen in the past two years?" Or did he have any accidents? ”

"Accidents? I've never heard of it. Zhuqing tried to remember, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I heard that before King Chen took over the Texas Army, he took a fancy to an official lady, but then he didn't do it."

Mingran suddenly lay down flat.

Could it be that King Chen's transformation is really as the eldest brother said, because of military power? But that day, his eyes were also wrong?

It seems that he is really suspicious.

"What's the news from the Su family?"

Zhuqing glanced outside the house, "Lan Ling hasn't returned home yet." ”

Ming Ran sighed deeply, "It's boring in the palace, and it's boring when you come back, how can you survive these ancient days?" ”

"Miss, what ancient?" Zhuqing asked puzzled.

Mingran sat on the soft couch and didn't speak, his eyes lost focus.

It wasn't until noon that a person walked into the room.

"Miss." Lan Ling walked quickly to the soft couch.

Ming Ran asked, "Is there a harvest?" ”

Lan Ling said softly: "Miss Yu, last night, Master Su disguised himself and went out of the mansion and went to the eldest princess's mansion. ”

"The eldest princess?" Mingran's gaze suddenly brightened.

After a moment, she remembered this person, "Sister of the First Emperor, the eldest princess Wen Shu?" ”

Lan Ling nodded, and said, "It wasn't until dawn that Master Su left the princess's mansion and returned to the Su mansion. ”

Ming Ran got down from the soft couch, lowered his head and thought deeply, took two steps back and forth, and said, "The eldest princess and Master Su, what are the ulterior secrets?" ”

Otherwise, why meet late at night, why disguise?

Lan Ling shook his head, "The slave doesn't know. ”

"Are you sure that the eldest princess that Master Su saw is not a colt?"

Lan Ling sighed and said, "Miss doesn't remember?" The master had been dead for two years, and the military power in his hands was later taken over by King Chen. ”

Ming Ran paused, closed his eyes and reflected.

There is indeed such a thing in my memory, when the horse Shen Xing died suddenly, the imperial doctor did not find out the reason, and the Texas army that followed him was also taken back by the emperor and later assigned to Xiao Yichen.

At that time, he hadn't crossed over yet, and the original owner was a person with a cold temperament, and he didn't care about any excitement, so he just heard about it.

She opened her eyes and suddenly realized, "Go and check when did Master Su and the eldest princess have a relationship?" ”

"Yes." Lan Ling bowed his head and left.

Ming Ran paced back and forth in the room, his thoughts gradually becoming clearer.

It can't be a coincidence, the eldest princess's husband passed away only two years ago, and Mrs. Su just died of the royal secret poison.

The eldest princess is a royal princess, and if it is said that the poison came from her, it is more likely.

If the eldest princess had an adulterous affair with Master Su, would she be suspected of poisoning Mrs. Su. What about Shen Xing? Could his death also be the work of the eldest princess?

But Shen Xing is not only her husband, but also a general with military power, how dare she be so desperate?

No, the soul of the dead comes from the secret room of the palace, and without the permission of the emperor, the eldest princess cannot get it.

Suddenly, there was the sound of thin footsteps outside the room.

"Miss, Madame is here." Whirling Moon entered the house and walked over to her.

Ming Ran retracted the doubts in his heart and walked to the door of the room.

Mrs. Ming was followed by Mother Wen and several maids carrying food boxes, and entered the house one after another.

"It's all your favorite food." Mrs. Ming sat down on a wooden bench.

Mingran stepped forward and sat down.

"Still angry with your father?" Madame Ming took a piece of braised lion's head and put it on a small dish in front of her.

Mingran bowed his head and said nothing, pretending not to hear.

Mrs. Ming was helpless and said with a smile: "Alas, I really can't do anything about you." ”

Ming Ran raised his head, his eyes revealed joy, "Mother's ......"

"Okay, don't be grounded, I'll tell you where your father is." Mrs. Ming looked at her with a doting smile on her face.

She couldn't close her mouth happily, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, mother." ”

Every time Mingran sulks, all the house rules will become unruly in front of her, so this is her killer feature.

She happily picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the lion's head in front of her, "It's delicious." ”

Mrs. Ming stared at her greasy appearance and smiled silently.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Ming left with her front foot, and Ming Dye left with her back foot.

There were some things she had to ask Miss Su, and she was afraid that the wall would have ears when she asked in Su Mansion, so she ordered Fuyue to invite Su Shenxin to the Drunken Sky Tower.

The wind and snow are flying, and the window sash is open.

The biting cold wind blew into the room from the window, and Ming Dye sat by the window with fox fur.

Under the window is a lively scene, rows of shops with people coming and going, and the people are not afraid of the cold, hoarding New Year's goods in large bags and small bags.

Mingran chuckled on his lips and looked gently underneath.

Zhuqing was making tea on the side, and even though she was wearing a cloak, she still felt cold.

"Miss, what's going on down there?" She handed the teacup to her.

Ming Ran put away his gaze, took the tea cup and held it in his hand.

There was a rush of confusion outside the door.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a man in a purple suit walked in.

He was dressed in a gorgeous costume and noble, and his majestic figure stood at the door of the room and looked at the woman by the window.

"Miss Ming, the little one can't stop the prince." Xiao Er lowered his head, his tone panicked.

Mingran sat in place and didn't get up, and said lightly: "It's okay, you can go out." ”

Xiao Er was pardoned, and quickly went out to close the door.

Zhuqing stood up and bowed his head in salute.

Xiao Yichen strode to the opposite side of Ming Ran and sat down, "Didn't this king say that you must not interfere in this matter." ”

Ming Ran smiled, took the tea cup on the table, poured a full cup of tea and put it in front of him.

It seems that his every move is under his watch.

"What can the fifth brother find out?"

Xiao Yichen was silent, it seems that you have already found out, and you still need to ask me?

"Even if the fifth brother finds out something, he won't tell me." Mingran sneered, continuing to look out the window.

Xiao Yichen looked at her with a solemn face and said, "This matter is not as simple as you think. ”

"Because it's related to the eldest princess?" Mingran looked at him.

Seeing that he was silent, she said again: "Or is it because it involves the death of the horse?" ”

She looked at him, watching the change in his eyes.

Xiao Yichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze revealed a chill.

She was really smart, she thought of Shen Xing's death so quickly.

His face was grim, as cold as snow flying outside the window, while she was smiling, as warm as a March spring.

Looking at each other, he was defeated, picked up the tea and drank it.

"This king doesn't want you to get involved in right and wrong."

Ming Ran sneered in his heart, and what he said was really righteous and awe-inspiring.

"I just want to ask, did the colt die too?"

Xiao Yichen looked at her and nodded after a long time.

Ming Ran smiled unexpectedly, and said, "I'm just the cause of Mrs. Chasu's death, and I don't care about anything else." ”

Xiao Yichen approached her and said in a low voice, "What do you want to do with Mrs. Su's affairs?" Say that the poison in her is the poison of the royal family? Have you ever thought about it, where did the eldest princess's poison come from? Why can't the imperial doctor find out about the horse's death? ”

Ming Ran was stunned, his face shocked.

"The eldest princess's poison was given by the emperor?" She stared at him intently.

Why did the emperor let the eldest princess poison Shen Xing?

Could it be that the emperor, who seems to be a humble gentleman, is not as gentle as jade on the surface.

"Miss, Miss Su has arrived." The sound of the moon ringing outside the room.

Ming Ran smoothed out her emotions, nodded sideways at Zhuqing, and motioned for her to open the door.

Su Shenxin was wrapped in a cyan cloak, and was helped into the house by a mother-in-law, and sat next to Ming Ran.

Ming Ran squinted at Xiao Yichen, as if asking if you should go?

Xiao Yichen lowered his head to drink tea and did not look at the two women opposite.

Ming Ran scolded bitterly in his heart, gritting his teeth and looking at him.

"I promise you, keep it a secret for the time being."

Xiao Yichen grinned and said, "This king is hungry, and there is no empty private room in this drunken heavenly building, so I will borrow you here." ”

Ming Ran resisted his anger and looked at him with disgust, and sure enough, he was still the shameless Xiao Yichen before.

"Tell Xiao Er, serve the signature dish." Xiao Yichen commanded to Zhuqing.

Su Shen listened to him call himself the king, and his weak body was about to get up and salute, but he was pressed down by Ming Ran's hand.

"Are you feeling better?" Mingran took her bone's hand and looked at her with a smile.

Su Shenxin lowered his head and smiled, "It's not a serious illness, thanks to Miss Ming." ”

Ming Ran saw that Zhu Qing had just gone out and instructed Xiao Er, and said to her: "Go downstairs and order all the signature dishes of Zuitianlou, and then ask for two pots of Taixi Bai." ”

Taixi White is the most expensive wine in Zuitianlou, and a pot of wine can be worth a table of signature dishes.

After instructing Zhuqing, she turned her head sideways and talked to Su Shenxin, completely like King Chen.

Xiao Yichen didn't think so, put his elbows on the table, and looked sideways out the window.

It didn't take long for a few little erfish to enter the house and put the steaming delicacies on the table.

Ming Ran had eaten in the house before, so he kept putting it in Su Shenxin's bowl.

Xiao Yichen ate by himself, and raised his glass leisurely and drank freely.

It was a long time before he got up slowly.

"This king is going to the training camp, so I won't disturb you to catch up."

Don't bother? But you've been bothered for a long time.

Ming Ran got up and said, "Then I won't send it, thank you Fifth Brother for today's meal." ”

Xiao Yichen walked to the door of the room and turned back suddenly, "This king didn't bring an entourage, nor did he bring silver." ”

He didn't look embarrassed and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Let Xiao Er go back to the house with you to get it." Mingran was angry.

He smiled brightly and walked in the direction of Ming Ran, "Then the king is still waiting here, and let Xiao Er go to King Chen's Mansion to inform his entourage to send silver." ”

He sat back in the upholstered chair he had used to hold and shouted out to Xiao Er.

Mingran took a deep breath and spit it out gently.

"Fifth brother, please go back, I'll pay for you this meal first, just pay me back when you remember." She had a far-fetched smile on her face, and cursed at him in her heart.

This is clearly a scoundrel, just scatter the wealth and eliminate the disaster.

Xiao Yichen waved his hand and said: "How can it be done, outsiders still think that this king wants you to have a treat." ”

Ming Ran closed his eyes forcefully, and when he opened them again, he could only see weakness in his eyes, "Fifth brother admires his face and eats together, my honor, how dare I bother you to spend money again, this meal must be invited by me." ”

Xiao Yichen laughed and got up, "Since you must invite, this king is not polite and takes his leave." ”

With a smug smile on his lips, he walked away with a beaming face.
