Zhong Jinxiu went out and saw Shen Mingze, dressed in an official uniform, solemn and solemn. Zhong Jinxiu's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, twinkling with starlight.

"Cousin..."

"Well, the emperor asked me to assist the Ministry of Rites in preparing for this marriage."

Zhong Jinxiu bowed slightly

"Is my cousin going back? I'll send you back first. ”

Zhong Jinxiu shook her head slightly and said, "I'll go back by myself, and my cousin will be busy first." ”

She paused and said, "When my cousin is done, you can go to the treasure shop to find me, I have something to talk to my cousin." ”

Jumbo Place? Private meeting?

Shen Mingze's heart jumped slightly, but there was no wave on his face, and he politely sent his cousin away.

In the evening, after the send-off, Shen Mingze completed the task and ran to meet his cousin.

In the Treasure Workshop, there are no more customers at the moment.

Zhong Jinxiu sat on the second floor, with a low table with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a few account books.

And the cousin was watching carefully, followed by the girl grinding ink.

Peach saw Shen Mingze coming over, and was about to remind, but Shen Mingze shook his head slightly, and Peach smiled slightly and retreated silently.

The two are already married, and there are some things that need not be shy about it.

Shen Mingze sat down on the ground, took over the girl's work, and gently polished the ink.

Writing often, this job is easy for him to master.

Zhong Jinxiu was counting the account book, and felt a hot gaze stealing, hot, burning her face was hot, raised her eyebrows slightly, and saw her cousin looking at herself.

No wonder.

She frowned again and continued with her unfinished business. Shen Mingze didn't bother, just maintained that action, enjoying the quiet and peaceful feeling.

After a long while, Zhong Jinxiu closed her things, she thought slightly, and then asked, "Does my cousin have a holiday with Princess Xixia?" ”

Shen Mingze said: "There is a little bit. ”

Zhong Jinxiu sighed softly and said, "I should have thought that Nian Qi'er could marry Xia Qianyi, and this is my cousin's operation." ”

Shen Mingze secretly looked at his cousin's expression, wanting to see if his cousin seemed to be angry, but looking at his cousin's crystal clear face, he was slightly worried.

"Xia Bingyu hates you to the bone, and King Huan has a lot of criticism for you, cousin..."

Shen Mingze didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and then asked, "What about my cousin, can I be happy in my heart?" ”

In a word, Zhong Jinxiu completely understands that he is for her.

She bowed her head slightly and said, "Naturally, I'm happy, but I'm a little worried." ”

Shen Mingze felt comfortable in his heart and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I know how to do it." ”

"Huh?"

"It's just that my cousin is implicated because of this, it's mine, it's not."

Zhong Jinxiu hurriedly explained: "I'm not complaining about my cousin, I'm just worried. That Xia Bingyu... I know she's the thief who pretended to be me that day, this... One of the thieves is the princess of Western Xia, which is already incredible. ”

"We didn't demolish him, but she seemed to hate us, and wanted to repay the hatred he had suffered that day."

Shen Mingze's heart moved slightly.

He gently turned the ink and asked quietly, "What does my cousin think?" ”

"We are not wrong in this matter, it was she who framed me first, and we did not expose him, she should be grateful, not seek revenge."

"If she really retaliates against us, we..." Zhong Jinxiu lowered her head, as if she was contemplative, and as if she had made up her mind, her eyes lit up and said fiercely, "We will naturally retaliate back, before she acts to slander, we will act first." ”

Zhong Jinxiu's mind was full of thoughts, she thought about it all day, to consider how Xia Bingyu would retaliate against her?

In the last life, except for Miss Pan who married Western Xia, and then died innocently...

That's it, if Nian Qi'er dies in this life, it will naturally be no wonder on her head, but if they have to put this matter on her head, there is only one way, and that is to poison.

She asked someone to check on her second sister this afternoon, and she really had a relationship with Xia Bingyu recently.

No wonder I let myself go to give gifts, I am waiting for myself here.

If Nian Qi'er died, it means that she did it, then...

Shen Mingze felt that his cousin was very smart, and there must be a reason why he was clumsy in his previous life.

Fortunately, in this life, he is not obsessed with King Huan, and he will definitely protect him well if he lives again.

"Cousin, don't worry, I have already let people burn the book you sent over today, and I will definitely not let people succeed."

Burn it?

How could my cousin?

"That Xia Bingyu is a spy of the enemy country, I have already made it clear to the emperor, and the emperor asked me to pay attention to her secretly." She looked at her cousin with a surprised look, and felt a little unbearable to deceive in her heart, "This is a state affair, and the emperor attaches great importance to it." ”

The emperor knew, but he still left Xia Bingyu?

Does this mean that the Great Song Dynasty can't fight anymore?

She stood up slightly and looked out of the window, feeling a little dazed.

What this means is that the emperor promised Xia Bingyu to be active in the Great Song Dynasty, and promised that the Great Song Dynasty hid such a hidden danger in the test.

hum

It turned out that the daughter of the Pan family died in the previous life, and the emperor did not pursue it, and even accepted a reason for her death, was it all because of the emperor's inaction?

Her heart was filled with sorrow.

Shen Mingze looked at his cousin's figure, lonely and helpless, which made people feel distressed. Just like in the previous life, the last time she saw her cousin, in the palace, he met her cousin in front of the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, at that time, the cousin retreated from all the edges, and she was twenty-five years old, as if she had been baptized by the years, full of vicissitudes.

His heart seemed to be blocked and uncomfortable, and his eyes were slightly sour.

Zhong Jinxiu didn't see it, she only felt that this life shouldn't be just like that.

Zhong Jinxiu pondered for a moment and said: "Cousin, if they want to take revenge, they will definitely take action, even if you burn something, they will still make a whole copy." So..."Zhong Jinxiu suddenly looked back and saw Shen Mingze pondering.

She thought it was a form and a worry, so she said: "I don't want to sit still, cousin, if it is really Nian Qi'er who has an accident, then bury Xia Qianyi with you." ”

Shen Mingze came back to his senses and chewed this sentence seriously, this is to let both of them die, so that no one will suffer.

The Great Song Dynasty didn't want to go to war, but how could the Western Xia be willing to go to war.

What's more, the Empress Dowager of Western Xia dislikes other princes besides her son the most, which can be regarded as a gift to the Empress Dowager.

So much better.

It had to be done quietly.

A month later, the relatives were sent back and said that at the border of Western Xia, Nian Qi'er and Xia Qianyi both died of illness.

All eyes are on it.

I heard that Xia Bingyu fainted on the spot after hearing this, and insisted on an autopsy after waking up, but she didn't believe that it was the death.

When Zhong Jinxiu heard that both of them were dead, she had no sympathy in her heart.

Who is innocent in this world?

However, the bodies of Xia Qianyi and Nian Qi'er were transported back, and the emperor attached great importance to it, looking for an autopsy, and when he learned that he was poisoned, the emperor was furious, but he was helpless.

The emperor originally wanted to calm things down and announce his death, but Xia Bingyu was always entangled, and finally got evidence from somewhere, pointing out that Zhong Jinxiu was the murderer.

Zhong Jinxiu was helpless and entered the palace again.

Inside the Executive Palace

When Zhong Jinxiu was announced, there was Xiao Rui, the king of Huan, the princess of Huan, Xia Bingyu, the princess of Huan, and the third prince Xiao Ruiyou, who was a girl, holding a book.

Zhong Jinxiu went in and asked for peace one by one.

The emperor looked at Zhong Jinxiu and looked at her with some complaints.

"Lord Jinxiu, can you give the county lord a female ring?"

Zhong Jinxiu responded: "If you go back to the emperor, send it." ”

Xia Bingyu's beautiful face was full of tears, but she said resolutely: "Your Majesty, it was he who hurt my brother and sister-in-law, please be sure to make decisions for them." ”

"Your Majesty, that female ring contains highly poisonous, my younger brother and the princess Qin Se and Ming, love each other, according to the maids said that the princess is docile, and also taught my younger brother to recognize the handwriting of the Great Song Dynasty, and read the book, so he died violently."

Xiao Ruiyou arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there are many doubts in this matter, and you can't just rely on a book to conclude that it was the Lord of Jinxiu, and if you can't keep it, someone deliberately framed it." If you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, you will interrogate everyone who has access to any book that you may have access to. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, all the maids have been interrogated, and naturally no one has been poisoned, which can only mean that this book was poisoned in advance when the book was delivered."

"Princess Huan, this splendid county lord and princess chess, there were no grievances in the past, how could she poison people? This king understands that you are overly sad for losing your brother, but how can I, the lord of the Great Song Dynasty, slander at will, please be cautious? Don't bite because of some personal grudges. ”

Xia Bingyu said angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, could it be that you want to shield the murderer?" ”

"Naturally not, this matter is strange, we will not let go of the murderer, and naturally we will not wronged a good person."

Xia Bingyu's beautiful face, even if she is angry, she feels poignant, which makes people can't bear to feel sad about her.

King Jin was a gentleman, slightly avoiding his gaze, looking at Zhong Jinxiu who was kneeling on the ground, his posture was straight, elegant and wonderful, and when he heard them discuss, his face did not change, and he seemed to feel that their quarrel had nothing to do with her.

King Jin said: "Lord of Jinxiu, what do you have to say about this matter?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu leaned over slightly and said, "I didn't poison it." ”

"However, all the evidence points to you, and if you don't have an explanation for this matter, it will be difficult to escape suspicion."

"What does King Jin mean, do you want me to come up with evidence?"

Such casual, in a trance, I can come up with evidence to ask you officials to do something.

King Jin's eyebrows flashed slightly, and he coughed slightly embarrassed.

Zhong Jinxiu looked at Yan Ling, who was from the Criminal Department, and she asked:

"I don't know what poison the princess and the prince of Western Xia have?"

"Why do you have to pretend?"

Zhong Jinxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, the light in her eyes was very faint, and the death of Princess Qi in a trance really didn't matter to her, but when she looked at the past, there seemed to be some sternness hidden in her eyes.

Yan Ling said: "It's a flower in the fog, this poison is colorless and tasteless, and if you enter it a little, you will die violently." ”

After Zhong Jinxiu heard this, he snorted lightly.

"I sent it over that day, and I took it out myself, and all the nobles in the room saw it, and the princess also touched it at that time, and if I put down the arsenic, why am I all right? Why was the princess okay at that time? It can be seen that this poison was the last person to get in and then frame me. ”
