The night passed quickly.

Zixi didn't have time to think about the man in red anymore, the county king's mansion still seemed to be calm, but the outside of the palace had turned the world upside down.

It has only been half a month since King Ning died last time, and the palace is in chaos again.

The news of the killing of the only concubine of the Haijun Wang family alarmed the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and caused a rumor in the court.

Before the limelight of King Ning's death passed, another person was killed, and he was still the son of an important minister in the court.

The emperor was furious and ordered Jinyiwei to investigate thoroughly, if he couldn't find out the truth, he was afraid that he would kill a group of incompetent people.

In addition to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the concubines of the Kyoto official palace were also a little frightened, afraid that this bad news would happen to them-

Before finding out the truth, no one knew why King Ning and Xiao Shizi died, and they weren't even sure if the murderers of the two were the same person.

Among them, the most frightened are Su Yu and Xiao Xueqing.

Xiao Xueqing is Xiao Lingyi's younger sister, and her pain and fear are not inferior to her father's mother for her brother's sudden death, but in addition to the pain, some ominous speculation occupies her entire mind, making her frightened.

Su Yu thought more.

He thought that King Ning was a merry man, although the cause of death was unknown, but he heard that he had been to the Qingjun Palace, with his amorous and lustful style, if he saw Zixi, it was impossible to be indifferent.

He thought of Uncle Feng Guo, Feng Minzhi, who is still lying in bed and suffering severe pain, and it was also because he provoked Zixi that he had such a tragic lesson.

Now it's Xiao Lingyi's turn again......

Although there is no evidence, the three of them were killed and injured and one was injured, and they all offended Zixi, so Su Yu couldn't help but think of Zixi.

And death has always been the most frightening, especially for the son-in-law of a wealthy family, he didn't even dare to tell his judgment of the cause of Xiao Lingyi's death in front of his father.

In case the father went to tell the emperor, in case the emperor Xuan Zixi or Chu Chen asked for the guilt, in case the matter was finally turned on himself......

He didn't want to get into trouble, although he knew that if he could help solve the case, he would be considered a meritorious service in front of the emperor, but he didn't dare to gamble.

Glory and wealth, how can life matter?

And what if you make a mistake?

Su Yu spent the whole day in trepidation, and the palace was like the depression before the storm, which made people's hearts beat and tense.

From the Imperial Palace Ouchi to the inner castle where the powerful of the Imperial City gathered, there was an unsettling atmosphere.

However, these have nothing to do with Chu Chen and Zixi.

I didn't sleep all night after thinking about it last night, Chu Chen's spirit seemed to be okay, and his expression didn't seem to be unusual.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his head, Zixi walked in with a basin of water, and smiled at him: "Get up, move your body, and then have breakfast." ”

Chu Chen nodded, got off the bed and put on his shoes, only to feel that his neck was sore, and he sat on the bed all night, making his body a little stiff and sluggish.

Zixi turned around and put the basin on the basin shelf, took a towel and put it in the basin to soak. Standing up straight, before he could turn around, he was encircled in a slightly cool embrace.

The young man wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zixi." ”

This kind of action is the first time for Chu Chen, with a little cautious temptation, if he senses that Zixi is unhappy because of this, he will immediately let go, and he will never be presumptuous again.
