Based on these doubts, Yan Duan did not pronounce He'er's crime in court.

That night, the Criminal Department sent a letter, saying that He'er had committed suicide by hitting a wall in her cell.

Liu Yunxiang sat up, thought for a while, and said, "If she was instructed by someone, then what was the purpose of the people behind the scenes to poison Mrs. Wuchanghou?" ”

Yan Du shook her head, "It's not clear yet, but I believe there will be an answer soon." ”

The next day, because the murder case of Mrs. Wuchang was solved, the emperor praised Yan Du in front of the minister of civil and military affairs, and gave a lot of rewards. And Mrs. Wuchang Hou passed away, according to the regulations, Xue Changfeng needed to worry about his mother for three years, and the position of Weizhou political envoy was vacant.

The ministers in the court discussed it, and finally decided to promote Yang He, the political envoy and adjutant left, to replace Xue Changfeng.

This Yang He has been in Weizhou for more than ten years, and his achievements are very good, Xue Changfeng also recommended him, and the ministers have no objections.

Yan Du was suddenly awakened at this moment, and after the next court, he caught up with Xue Changfeng and must invite him to drink. Xue Changfeng ran away when he saw him, but he still didn't run away.

"Brother Xue, we are old friends, why bother to lose face like this." Yan Du hugged Xue Changfeng and squinted and smiled.

Xue Changfeng saw Yan Du like this, like that fox, and felt that he was going to be calculated.

"Your Highness Mo Duo thinks, it's just that my mother has just passed away, and the minister is really not in the mood to drink and have fun, so please forgive Your Highness."

He deliberately raised his voice, and the ministers who passed by looked at them one after another. In this way, Yan Dusk can't force him to make it difficult.

Yan Du raised his eyebrows, "Brother Xue hates this king a lot." ”

"Not really."

"This king can also understand what man can stand his bride on the wedding night shouting the names of other men, and he is not allowed to touch ...... Not! ”

Xue Changfeng covered Yan Dui's mouth, his face was blue and red at this time, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

He and Murong Lingyi were having a fight, and everyone was speculating that when they heard that this was the reason, wouldn't it be a joke for themselves!

"You did it on purpose!"

Yan Du looked down and saw Xue Changfeng cushioning his feet, his face was red with anger, and he really couldn't help but laugh this time.

"Brother Xue, those who move their hands and feet are immoral."

Xue Changfeng glared at Yan Dui, and could only let go of his hand first.

"Okay, let's drink, whoever drinks first will be the king!"

"Yo, not really, right?"

"Your Highness is afraid?"

Yan Du tilted his head: "How is it possible." ”

The wine was drunk in the Marquis of Wuchang's mansion, and Yan Du wanted to pull Xue Changfeng outside, but during his Ding Wei period, it was really not good to drink outside.

Marquis Wuchang only has one son, Xue Changfeng, no daughter, no concubine, and Murong Lingyi has already left the house, and there is only one Aunt Zhou left in the backyard. Since she lost her children, her body has not been able to raise her, and her spirit is not very good, but the backyard can never be taken care of, so Jiang Yunying often walks around the Hou Mansion.

"Cousin, you still have to drink less, it's easy to hurt yourself." Jiang Yunying sent a plate of snacks, instructed Xue Changfeng, and then turned his head to look at Yan Dui, "Your Highness is too." ”

Yan Du glanced at Jiang Yunying, but when she saw her watery eyes, she seemed to be ashamed when she looked at him.

"Thank you Miss Jiang for your concern."

Jiang Yunying smiled lightly and retreated.

In fact, Xue Changfeng was very depressed in his heart, and he didn't need Yan Dui's persuasion, he picked up the wine jar first, poured a big bowl for Yan Dusk first, and then poured a bowl for himself.

"Your Highness has a lot of them, let's use a big bowl today."

Yan Du smiled and picked it up, saluted Xue Changfeng, and then lowered his head and took two sips, not wanting Xue Changfeng to really dry it in one go.

"Your Highness, is this your sincerity?"

Yan Du nodded, picked it up again and drank it all.

"Is this sincerity enough?"

"Not enough!"

Xue Changfeng filled the two big bowls again, and was about to drink, but was stopped by Yan Duan.

"Ask you something."

Xue Changfeng squinted, "Why don't you wait for me to get drunk before asking?" ”

Yan Du smiled, "No, it's not a private matter." ”

Xue Changfeng snorted, put down the bowl, and thought about it again, "Then what private matter did you ask me last time?" ”

"It's nothing."

Xue Changfeng squinted, "Your Highness, let's tell the truth!" ”

Yan Du smiled dryly, "It's really nothing, I just asked if you and the Zhaohua County Lord have a good relationship." ”

"Ask about the relationship between husband and wife, Your Highness is really polite!"

Yan Du smiled, "I'll just ask, I didn't expect you to say so much." ”

"What did I say?" Xue Changfeng hurriedly asked, he didn't remember anything after he was drunk.

"For example, your husband and wife have a bad relationship, for example, you had a big quarrel with Mrs. Hou in order to marry Murong Lingyi, such as why do you want to marry her."

"I, what did I say?"

"You said that when you were young, you fell in love with a wanton and bright girl, but that girl never had you in her eyes." Yan Du glanced at Xue Changfeng when he said this, his face was already very dark, "This girl is Murong Lingyi." ”

At that time, Murong Lingyi's reputation was already bad, and Mrs. Hou did not agree with Xue Changfeng to marry her, but Xue Changfeng did not hesitate to break with his parents to marry her, but he was trampled under his feet by Murong Lingyi on the wedding night.

After that, he was still willing to be considerate of her, give her time, and tolerate her, but in exchange for Murong Lingyi's disgust, as well as those murderous words.

Later, he didn't love anymore, in order to cut off the love thread, he took the Zhou family as a concubine, and then the husband and wife described water and fire.

Xue Changfeng picked up the big bowl in front of him, poured it down, and then slapped it on the table hard, "My sincerity is like a piece of shit in her eyes, and you ......"

"Immortal and jade, unparalleled in the world."

"Don't you feel sorry for yourself so much?"

Yan Du smiled sideways, "This is what you complimented me." ”

Xue Changfeng's eyes widened, "Me? ”

"Brother Xue, isn't he in love with this king?"

"Gross!"

Yan Du picked up the bowl, saluted Xue Changfeng again, and then drank it dry, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, his expression sank, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, this king just wants to know about Yang He." ”

"Yang He?" Xue Changfeng was puzzled, "Do you know what he does?" ”

"This king has his own intentions."

Xue Changfeng nodded, and he didn't bother to delve into it, "He, the two of us have been on business for three years, he is conscientious, steady, upright, and a good official and a good person, so I recommended him in the court." ”

Yan Du poured a bowl of wine for Xue Changfeng, "Let's talk slowly." ”

Zhenbei Wangfu, after dinner, Liu Yunxiang took the two children to play for a while, and then asked Jinyan to lead them to sleep. I asked Zijin about the hour, and it was almost time, but Yan Du hadn't come back yet.

"Isn't Your Highness in the Marquis Mansion of Wuchang, what does the girl have to worry about." Zijin said.

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "But I always feel unsteady." ”

"Then the slave and maid go and urge."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, "In this way, I'll go with you." ”

When they came to the Hou Mansion, they were led by the little maid to Xue Changfeng's courtyard, but there was only Xue Changfeng at the stone table in the courtyard, he was already drunk, lying on the stone table, and there was a mess around.

"What about our Highness?" Zijin asked the little guy.

The little servant hurriedly called the maidservant who came to serve in this courtyard and asked where the Seventh Highness was.

The maidservant said: "His Royal Highness the Seventh is drunk, and Miss Jiang helped him to go to the flower hall next door to rest." ”

Liu Yunxiang had a bad premonition, and hurriedly strode out of the courtyard at the moment.
