Tiny snowflakes fluttered in the air, a thin layer of snow on the ground, and a brightly dyed carriage stopped at the side gate of the palace.

She stood beside the carriage and looked at the two people at the gate of King Chen's mansion, which were Xiao Yichen and Guo Yuxi.

There was a carriage at the main entrance of the palace, Guo Yuxi smiled and led the maid to stroll into the carriage.

Xiao Yichen stepped down the stone steps, laughing at Guo Yuxi in the wind and snow and in the carriage.

This scene stung Mingran's eyes, and her heart inexplicably surged with pain, and anger gradually devoured her internal organs.

She turned around in a huff and strode back into the carriage.

When the curtain was lowered, she floated out with angry words, "Enter the palace." ”

The carriage turned around and drove slowly in the direction of the palace.

Sending Guo Yuxi away, Xiao Yichen turned around and went home, his feet had just stepped up the stone steps, and the back of the maid next to the carriage at the end of the street made him stop his steps, he hurriedly fixed his eyes, and his heart chuckled.

Standing on the stone steps of the mansion, he watched thoughtfully as the carriage was moving farther and farther away.

Ming Ran had the token given by Xiao Yiqian on his body, and easily entered the palace.

Snowflakes are falling, and the red walls and green tiles are covered with snow.

"Gonggong Li, I want to see the emperor, and I will pass it on for me." Ming Ran stood at the gate of the palace and said to Li Shihai on the cloister.

Li Shihai is a palace man who has served Xiao Yiqian for nearly ten years, and he has always known how to guess the meaning of his master.

He took the umbrella from the little eunuch beside him, and immediately walked to the door to prop it on Ming Ran's head.

"Miss Ming, the emperor is reviewing the folds, and he has ordered not to disturb in the morning, so the slave will go to report it, don't stand in the snow first."

After speaking, he handed the umbrella in his hand to Yun He behind Ming Ran, and then bowed down and pushed open the door of the imperial study.

Ming Ran knew very well in his heart that Xiao Yiqian had guessed that she would come, and it seemed that he didn't plan to see her.

Li Shihai took an umbrella to cover her from the snow and asked her to pin it in the snow, but he didn't invite her into the palace, and the meaning is self-evident at the moment.

She probably won't see Xiao Yiqian today.

About an hour of incense had passed, and the door of the imperial study had not moved at all.

Snowflakes mixed with bone-eating cold wind blew on the two people at the gate of the palace. Mingran's body has just healed, and he can't take the wind at all.

Yun He was worried in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you want to go to the Queen Mother's Palace?" ”

"No need."

As soon as the words fell, Li Shihai walked out of the imperial study, he thought that after a pillar of incense, Ming Ran would not be able to wait to leave, and when he opened the door, he saw her standing still in place.

He couldn't help but walk quickly in front of her, and said in a slightly frightened tone: "Miss Ming, the emperor asks you to go to the Queen Mother's palace to wait first." ”

Ming Ran's eyes were slightly cold, he glanced at him, crossed his body, and strode towards the imperial study.

"Miss Ming, no, the emperor ordered that no one should be disturbed." Li Shihai hurriedly trotted to Mingran and knelt down.

Ming Ran paused, curled the corners of his lips and sneered, then stepped up the stone steps at the entrance of the imperial study and pushed the door open.

The red sandalwood dragon case is full of twists and turns, and the desk is piled up.

Xiao Yiqian looked up in surprise and saw the angry woman at the door, he put down the wolf in his hand and got up and walked towards her.

It's been almost two years, and today is the first time she's expressed her dissatisfaction, even if it doesn't seem like a good thing.

He smiled lightly and asked softly, "What's the matter, come to Xingshi to ask for guilt?" ”

"Ming Ran didn't dare."

"Don't you dare?"

Xiao Yiqian saw her hanging her head, walked behind her and closed the door.

"Coming here for the Su family's business?" He walked over to the side cabinet chair and sat down, took a sip of his tea.

Ming Ran followed him to the cabinet, and when he saw that his face was not half displeased, he said bluntly: "Why did the emperor go back on his word? ”

Xiao Yiqian held the lid of the cup and chuckled, "I thought that you would come to me on the day the Su family was copied, but I didn't want you to be calm for two days." ”

Mingran looked at him puzzled, "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Xiao Yiqian put down the teacup and faced her, "This is a matter of the court, you shouldn't care." ”

Ming Ran knew that he was wrong, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "But why did the emperor hand this matter over to King Run?" The matter between the eldest princess and Master Su, the Shen family can't guarantee that they won't attack the Su family? ”

"Dye'er, I also have difficulties, the eldest princess is a royal prince, I can't be ruthless." He stood up and walked over to Mingran to meet her eyes.

Ming Ran looked up to him, and his eyes were still full of puzzlement.

Xiao Yiqian stretched out his hand and took a plum petal from her bun, which was the plum blossom that fell from outside the red wall when she was standing at the door.

He carefully held the petal in his hand and stared at her with a smile in his eyes.

Akira's face was extremely unnatural, and she pretended not to see him move, and walked to the chair and sat down.

"Su Jiadang really sells salt in Nanzhou?"

Xiao Yiqian sat back in Fang Cai's chair, "I found the silver tickets given to Su Nanfei by the merchants in Nanzhou in Su's house, and those merchants who sold salt privately in Nanzhou also confessed that they were the places where Su Nanfei supplied the salt. ”

Ming Ran let out a long sigh, "If the Su Mansion is convicted, what will happen to the Su family?" ”

In fact, she straightened out the affairs of the Su family that day, and it is not a small crime to raid the house, if there is no evidence, the government will not dare to take people easily.

It's just that the case of the Su family is now handed over to King Run, and because of the matter between the eldest princess and Master Su, King Run will definitely use this case to deal with the Su family for the Shen Mansion.

Maybe it would have been a crime of raiding the house, but now because King Run's trial, the Su family may have been killed in prison.

"Miss Su family has you to take care of her, but you can ensure that she is worry-free, as for the rest of the Su family, they deserve it."

Mingran Huo Ran looked at him and asked in disbelief, "Can I keep Miss Su?" ”

Xiao Yiqian raised his eyebrows slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Of course." ”

Hearing this, Mingran's face couldn't help but smile, and she was about to speak again, when Li Shihai's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Your Majesty, King Chen asks to see you."

Xiao Yiqian got up with a smile and walked out, saying as he walked, "Let him in." ”

Ming Ran leaned back in the mahogany chair behind her, and she pinched her eyebrows, secretly annoyed.

Hearing the announcement outside the door, thinking of her behavior of trespassing into the imperial study, is it a little too bold?

She quietly looked at Xiao Yiqian's face, his face was as usual, as if he looked carefully, there seemed to be a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.

It was not like his warm and watery smile in the past, but with a faint heartfelt joy.

In an instant, Ming Ran remembered that he had entered the palace today to ask Xiao Yiqian about the hunt that day, and from the moment she stepped into the imperial study, he diverted her attention and talked about the Su family's salt sales.

But she was clearly here to inquire about Mrs. Su's justice, Xiao Yiqian knew that she was more concerned about Su Shenxin's safety at this time, so he easily surrounded her.

She got up and walked to the dragon case, and Xiao Yichen also happened to walk in with a steady step.
