When Ouyang Zheng left, Huaxi couldn't remember clearly, she had been sitting on the chair in a daze at the window, the gentle residual warmth on her forehead was still there, but she was the only one left in the room.

"Knock knock, knock knock—" The knock on the door recalled Huaxi's wandering thoughts, "Who is it?" ”

"Back to the county lord, the prince has arrived." Bai Lan shouted outside the door.

"Okay, I'll do it now."

Huaxi got up and walked to the dresser, raised his hand to take off the hairpin, and rubbed it in his hand for a long time, the colorful double butterfly tentacles were smart, like a living thing. The golden rose was exactly the same as the one she had worn before.

Huaxi raised her hand and pinned the hairpin back to the hairpin, the diamond flower bronze mirror in front of her was bright, the light was recognizable, she looked at the colorful butterflies that flew in the hair, and couldn't help but laugh, "You don't know the meaning of roses, you chose this pattern...... I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if you and I are really fate......"

"Huaxi, can you get up?"

Susukino's voice came from outside the door, and Huaxi hurriedly got up and went over to open the door.

"Dad, you're here." Huaxi welcomed Susukino Shin into the door, and sat down on the outer hall with him, "Cui Ming, go and bring the Qingxi white tea brought back from Yu County to Dad to taste." ”

Seeing that this daughter looked as usual, Susukino Shin did not see a look of panic and worry, and his heart was a little relieved, and he asked, "You asked Bai Lan to send someone to send a letter back, how are things going now?" ”

Huaxi told Sukino Shin about today's incident, and Sukino Shin was so angry that he got up, "Bailan, you come in for me." ”

Bai Lan entered in response, and knelt on the ground as soon as she entered the door, "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the prince"

"Dad, you can't blame Bai Lan for this." Huaxi was worried that Susukino Xin would punish Bai Lan, so she hurriedly spoke out to dissuade her, "Bai Lan has been with me for the past few days, and it is understandable that she didn't notice the abnormality in the hospital. Dad, you can spare her this time."

"I handed you over to Bai Lan's protection, she didn't do her duty and deserved to be punished. This time, someone around you was bribed, and you didn't find out beforehand, but she didn't realize it, that is, it really shouldn't be. If you don't punish you, I won't be by my side in the future, and if you encounter something like this again, how can she protect you? Susukino Nobu patted Huaxi's hand, "I know that you are sympathetic to your subordinates, but this time you must be punished, don't persuade your father anymore." ”

Bai Lan also kowtowed and apologized, "County master, the slave and maid are willing to receive the punishment, please don't have to intercede for the slave and maid."

Huaxi didn't know what to do, so she had to beg Susukino Shin and said, "Dad, if you want to punish me, I won't stop you, but you should wait for this matter, and you will be punished again when you return to heaven." Now punish Bailan, who will serve me? ”

"Well, for your sake, I can spare her today, but when I return to Tiandu, she will be punished." After Susukino Shin finished speaking, he said sharply to Bai Lan, "Bai Lan, because of your negligence, someone framed the county lord and returned to Tiandu, you went to the torture hall to receive a hundred lashes, and the others each received thirty to set an example." If there is a repeat offense, there will be no forgiveness. ”

Huaxi listened from the sidelines, secretly frightened, she didn't expect the punishment to be so severe, and at the same time, she became more and more puzzled about what the power in her father's hands was?

Bai Lan took the order and retreated, and Susukino Xin motioned for Huaxi to sit down, seeing that her face was not good, and asked, "Do you think I punished Bai Lan too heavily?" ”

"Well, there are some ......," Huaxi paused, "but a team must have their own rules, otherwise it will be a mess of loose sand, dad, you must have your reason for punishing you like this." ”

Susukino nodded in satisfaction, "It's best if you can understand that...... If you were a boy, your father would have handed over these people to you, but it's a pity...... Don't blame Daddy for hiding from you......"

"Provincial province. Dad didn't hide it from me, if Dad really wanted to hide it from me, he wouldn't let Bai Lan follow me openly. "Huaxi today affirmed that Susukino has his own forces, and these forces cannot be placed in the open, which is probably one of the reasons why he can help Susukino to wait for the position and maintain a transcendent position in the court.

Susukino Shin sighed: "Yes, Dad doesn't want you to intervene in it, these people and things can't see the light, once you fall into it, you can't control it, I'm afraid it will cause you to be killed, Dad doesn't want them to become a burden to you." ”

"I know that my father is all for my good, I am my daughter's family, and I am not the right person to control this kind of team." Hua Xiyun smiled lightly, she was not good at power, so she didn't care about these things. She pushed the teacup in front of Susukino Shin, "Daddy is tired, let's drink saliva"

Susukino Shin took the teacup and took a sip, and Huaxi continued beside him: "But Bai Lan can't be blamed for this incident, and I am also responsible." Huaxi then told Susukino Shin that Yizhen was in a coma on the road, the abnormality of the jade comb, and the suspicion of Xun Rou's death.

Susukino listened and pondered for a moment, "What are you going to do?" ”

Huaxi straightened out her thoughts and said: "First, Yucomb is a serious suspect, although I am angry with my aunt, but because Yucomb has been with my aunt for many years, the relationship is not ordinary, so my aunt did not believe it all, I am in the face of my aunt, I did not move her for the time being, just wait for my father to discuss with you before I solve it." Moreover, Jinhuan and they were not bought this time, I am afraid that it was a premeditated move by others and buried in our house; As for whether those four are all, it may not be, but the four of them are often in one place, and it is inevitable that people with ulterior motives will seize the handle and force them to comply. ”

Susukino Shinying said: "I will leave the matter of the jade comb to someone to deal with." As for the four maids, I will send someone back to Tiandu overnight to investigate, and I think there will be news early tomorrow morning. Time is pressing, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get those maids to change their tunes for a while. If you can't change your words in time before the emperor sends someone to investigate, it will not help you to prove that you have secretly changed the incense recipe. ”

Huaxi nodded yes, "Daddy is worried that I have also thought about it, but in fact, the most critical thing in the whole thing is the cause of Xun Rou's death." I guess the essential oil she used must have been stolen and changed, and Mulan will use a fake incense recipe to identify me, just to make the evidence of the false accusation against me stronger...... But these are no longer important, the most important thing now is to prove that she did not die of those essential oils, so that her death has nothing to do with the incense recipe, and it doesn't matter if I change the recipe or not. In that way, the suspicion of harming people can be cleared. It's just that it's not appropriate for me to say this myself, and others will say that I am a quibble, so I have to ask someone to speak forcefully to testify. I'm worried that the autopsy is unreliable, so it's going to be very difficult to turn over. ”

"Dad, who did the emperor's uncle send to conduct an autopsy this time?"

"It's the work of the Criminal Department and the medical administration of a Tai Hospital." Sukino Xin frowned, "The criminal department is a member of the Xun family, and the other He Yizheng is a famous soft bone, and he is most afraid of causing trouble, so I am afraid that he will not help each other, and then it will be a big trouble." But for now, the only way to do it is to start with him. ”

"I'm not asking him to give false testimony, I'm just asking him to tell the truth." Huaxi said, "I'm afraid that the people of the Xun family will be a hindrance." ”

Susukino Shin secretly thought, this matter was not aimed at Huaxi from the beginning, the purpose of the people behind it was to provoke the contradiction between the Xun family and the Xin Wangfu, and then wanted to make the king of Zhidu, who had always maintained his position, fight with himself, killing three birds with one stone, but what Susukino Shin couldn't figure out was, who could profit from this matter?

He looked up and said to Huaxi, "You don't have to worry about this, I will send someone to do it." But there is one thing I want to ask you, where did you know that Xun Rou's death had another reason? ”

Huaxi froze, his eyes wandered, and he secretly wanted to hesitate to tell Sukino Xin that Ouyang Zheng had found out?

Seeing that Huaxi was silent, his expression was not as indifferent as usual, and he smiled, "Then how do you guess daddy?" You see if Daddy guessed right? ”

"Well, is it Fili, Leyi or Ouyang Zheng?"

Looking at Susukino Shin's ambiguous smile, Huaxi jumped twice on his forehead, and said helplessly: "Dad, don't tease me, I'll just tell you...... Yes, it's Ouyang Zheng."

"Didn't he leave early in the morning? When did he tell you this? ”

"Hey, he didn't leave the garden until you came."

"Hmm" Sukino nodded knowingly, his gaze swept over Huaxi's bun, and he pursed his lips and smiled, "It seems that Ouyang Shi is still a caring person." Huaxi, tell your father honestly, are you also interested in him? ”
