Luo Qingzhi couldn't believe what she heard, and asked, "Who died?"

"Master, it's the county lord."

Luo Qingzhi forgot the etiquette and ran around the palace.

Zhixin, who came out to explain the situation, only saw Luo Qingzhi's anxious back.

Luo Chen was about to catch up, but Zhixin stopped him and asked, "Wait, what's the situation?"

"The county lord, the county lord has an accident."

Zhixin felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up."

ran a few steps and looked back at Gao Yan under the corridor.

"Meng Feng, let's take a look." Gao Yan said.

The group arrived at the county lord's mansion in batches, and Luo Qingzhi rode a fast horse to run ahead, and I don't know how many stalls she knocked down along the way.

When she rushed back to the county lord's mansion, Luo Qingrou was lying on the ground with a smile on the corner of her mouth, Gao Zhen was sitting on the side, and Caihuan was howling loudly.

Luo Qingzhi's steps were heavy, and when she walked in front of Luo Qingrou, she had already spent almost all her strength.

She slowly knelt down and touched her hand, which was already only a little warm.

"County Lord!" Caihuan shouted loudly, "County Lord, you must avenge the County Lord."

Meng Feng and Zhixin, who came later, also arrived.

"What feud?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Caihuan pointed at Gao Zhen, almost roaring, "He was the one who killed our girl, it was him."

Luo Qingzhi turned his head to look at Gao Zhen, his hands were bloody, and he shook his head again and again.

Meng Feng stepped forward and saluted and said, "County Lord, Your Majesty has ordered me to come and find out the truth."

Seeing that Luo Qingzhi didn't respond, Meng Feng continued, "Since there is a first complaint now, then, can I bring the two back first."

「......」

Zhixin stepped forward to relieve the siege, her eyes were red, and she said, "I'll take a look first."

Zhixin observed Luo Qingrou's injury, and the knife on her heart was a fatal wound.

Meng Feng spread out Gao Zhen's palm, and there were marks in the palm.

"The county lord."

Luo Qingzhi just glanced at it and closed her eyes. She didn't believe that Gao Zhen would kill Luo Qingrou, but the human and material evidence was there, and she had no way to protect him.

Seeing that Luo Qingzhi didn't take any action, Caihuan said loudly: "County Lord, the County Lord is your own sister, can you watch her die in vain like this?"

Without waiting for Luo Qingzhi to answer, Caihuan suddenly got up and prepared to crash into the big tree behind her.

Luo Qingzhi instantly urged the internal force to chop the tree down, and at the same time spit out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Chen will control the color ring.

Zhixin stepped forward to seal the bloodline with a silver needle, and Gao Zhen's eyes widened and he stayed in place.

"Commander Meng, don't take the people away, let's try it in the county lord's mansion."

Seeing that Luo Qingzhi also took a step back, Meng Feng nodded and said, "Yes."

Luo Qingzhi controlled the momentum that she was about to faint and said to Gao Zhen, "Is that you?"

"It's not." Gao Zhen said solemnly.

"Yes, I believe you." Luo Qingzhi said softly.

Gao Zhen and Caihuan were taken away, and Luo Qingzhi instructed Luo Chen, "Look at Caihuan, if she dies, this is a dead end."

Luo Qingzhi supported her body, squatted down, and picked up Luo Qingrou, grief hit her instantly, and she wanted to carry her back to the room, but a mouthful of blood spit out, and both of them fell to the ground.

"Someone's coming."

When Luo Qingzhi woke up again, she was already lying on her bed, she touched the bed board, and when she saw Zhixin's moist eyes, she knew that everything was not a dream, Luo Qingrou was really gone.

Zhixin helped Luo Qingzhi up, a little distressed, and said, "It's just the two of us here, don't bear it."

Luo Qingzhi lay on Zhixin's shoulder, just sobbing silently, she didn't even dare to cry loudly.

After a while, Luo Qingzhi recovered her emotions and asked, "Did you go for a check-up?"

Zhixin nodded, "The fatal wound is the dagger in the chest, and there are only the three of them at the scene, and Caihuan is sure that it was killed by Gao Zhen.

And ......"

Luo Qingzhi looked at Zhixin, who wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't allow me to investigate this matter, right?"

"Yes."

Luo Qingzhi guessed that Gao Yan would let herself avoid suspicion in this matter, and she didn't dwell too much on it, and continued to ask, "Is Your Majesty poisoned?"

Zhixin nodded and said, "Your Majesty's poison is the same as yours, but Your Majesty's poisoning is deep, and I can't do anything about it."

"Although the frost bone is a strange poison, as long as you don't use your internal force and don't bleed a lot, it won't be fatal." Luo Qingzhi said.

"I don't know what the reason is, but Your Majesty's poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and returned to the sky." Zhixin said.

Luo Qingzhi thought for a while and asked, "How long has Your Majesty been poisoned?"

"At least five years."

Luo Qingzhi closed her eyes and said, "Okay, I know, help me call Luo Chen and Qin Shu."

"They've been waiting at the door." After Zhixin finished speaking, she opened the door and let the two of them in.

Luo Chen said, "Master, after that colored ring was locked up, she tried to commit suicide twice, but I stopped her, and in order to prevent her from continuing to do stupid things, I tied her up."

"Okay."

Luo Qingzhi looked a little tired, and even her voice was a soft feeling.

Qin Shu was a little worried and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

Luo Qingzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Something."

Qin Shu didn't expect Luo Qingzhi to answer like this, and he was a little stunned.

Seeing Qin Shu's appearance, Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty won't let me investigate this case, and the rest of the matter will depend on you."

Luo Chen asked, "The second son wants to see you."

「...... Got it." Luo Qingzhi said.

"The master doesn't want to see him?" Luo Chen asked.

Luo Qingzhi sighed and said, "Meng Feng personally looked at him, let's take it slowly."

She continued, "I need you to help me with something else now."

"Master, please command."

"In the ten years in the palace, there is an old grandmother, surnamed Li, who has been taking care of Arou, and a year ago, she returned to Yizhou." Luo Qingzhi looked at the two of them, and had not yet decided who to let go.

Luo Chen took the initiative and said, "I'll go, master."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Okay, you are more familiar with Yizhou."

"Summoning the wind back from the south." Luo Qingzhi said softly.

Qin Shu asked, "Isn't this still me? Isn't there a clue to the wind from the south to the north?"

Luo Qingzhi looked out the window and said, "It's time to go on an expedition, I need him."

Qin Shu was even more puzzled, "Haven't you heard of a war?"

"Knock-knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and Luo Chen went to open it.

"What's the matter?"

"There is a decree in the palace."

Luo Chen turned his head to look at Luo Qingzhi.

"I'll be here in a moment."

The eunuch who delivered the decree first saluted respectfully, and then said, "Lord of the county, please kneel down and listen to the decree."

Luo Qingzhi knelt on her knees and bowed.

"Ningzhou moved, and Luo Qingzhi, the county lord of Anning, was specially ordered to lead a pair of men and horses to infiltrate Ningzhou and find out the truth."

Luo Qingzhi kowtowed, "The minister obeys the order."

After the eunuch who announced the decree left, Luo Qingzhi looked at the edict in his hand and sneered, "The emperor is really still the emperor."

"Send a message to Feng Zinan, I'll wait for him in Ningzhou." Luo Qingzhi said.

"You're gone, what should the second son do?" Qin Shu asked.

Luo Qingzhi said silently, "The one who is far away from me is the safest."

"After I leave, everything in the house will listen to Mr. Fan." Luo Qingzhi commanded.

Zhixin said, "I'll go with you."

Luo Qingzhi nodded.

"Before you go, let's take care of Arou's funeral."

Luo Qingzhi was about to leave after speaking, but Zhixin stopped her, "Ah Luo, I have something to tell you

。」

Zhixin took Luo Qingzhi to Luo Qingrou's room and said, "Ah Luo, Ah Rou's death may really have nothing to do with Gao Zhen."

She pulled out the medicine residue from under the bed and said, "Ah Rou, I have been sick for a long time, and it is tuberculosis."

Seeing that Luo Qingzhi just lowered her head slightly, without the slightest surprise, Zhixin instantly understood, "You, you already knew."

"Yes."

Zhixin boldly guessed again, "You designed this incident."

"It's not."

Zhixin didn't understand at all and asked, "Why?"

Luo Qingzhi said lightly, "Because, Arou loves him."

She knew that Zhixin had a lot of things she didn't understand, and she sat down in her chair and spoke slowly, as if the story had nothing to do with her.

"At first, I just suspected that Arou was in such a hurry to embroider my wedding dress, but later, I kept an eye on her and asked someone to check her dregs." After Luo Qingzhi finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Later, I asked her, and she was very calm, and just said that if one day, His Majesty wants me to choose one between the two of them, I must keep Gao Zhen."

Luo Qingzhi continued: "Last night, when I entered the palace, His Majesty said that either Ah Rou would enter the palace as a concubine, or kill Gao Zhen."

Zhixin's eyes widened, "This is Your Majesty's choice of two choices."

"yes." Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I don't know, how did Ah Rou know about last night's incident, but her actions today must be because she knew about my conversation with His Majesty last night."

Luo Qingzhi wanted to say something, but Zhixin hugged her, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"What do you say?" Luo Qingzhi didn't know why.

"I should have told you sooner." Zhixin said.

Luo Qingzhi shook her head and parted the hug, "At first, I always felt that Ah Rou was too delicate and always wanted to protect her a little more, but I forgot that she was the daughter of the Luo family."

"I still don't understand, why did Arou do this?" Zhixin asked.

"She didn't just want me to give up on her and protect Ah Zhen...... I want Ah Zhen to leave this place." Luo Qingzhi said calmly, but Zhizhi's heart became more and more distressed.

Luo Qingzhi whispered, "I just didn't expect that she didn't give me a little time to prepare."

"So, you asked Luo Chen to investigate, you want to know who sent the message for Arou in the middle." Zhixin said.

Luo Qingzhi nodded.

Zhixin sighed deeply and said, "You let Meng Feng detain Gao Zhen and didn't look at him...... You're planning to do what Arou wants."

"Do you know, in fact, Your Majesty has long wanted me to go to Ningzhou, but I want to give Ah Zhen an identity and want to go after the wedding, but, you see, what Your Majesty wants to do, he must do." Luo Qingzhi was a little discouraged, "Your Majesty doesn't like Gao Zhen so much, in fact, I don't have any confidence that I can really keep him...... Perhaps, Arou was right, let him stay away from all this."

"Arlo, don't say that. Actually, I know that you are sincere to him, and blindly avoiding it is not a way."

Luo Qingzhi said, "Your Majesty doesn't really want to put him to death, he just wants to force me to go to Ningzhou."

"Then you, are you really going to leave like this and not tell him anything?" Zhixin asked.

「..... So be it."
