The banquet ended early, and when Zuo Xiangting left the General's Mansion, the sun had just set, the moon had not yet risen, and the entire capital was instantly shrouded in darkness.

The carriage was moving very slowly, Zuo Xiangting's eyes were slightly closed, and his expression was very solemn. Zuo Zongyuan sat aside and wanted to speak, but he never spoke, because he knew that his father was thinking about a very important issue at this time.

It wasn't until the bright moon rose and the moonlight poured down like water that Zuo Xiangting slowly opened his eyes.

"It seems that tomorrow my father will go to the palace."

Zuo Zongyuan asked cautiously: "Father really believes Su Shi's words, and thinks that there are still the remnants of Pei Hyun hidden in the palace?" ”

Zuo Xiangting said: "I heard that the palace has strengthened its vigilance recently, and obviously His Majesty also knows about it. If Su Shi did not have conclusive evidence, he would never dare to make something out of nothing and listen to it. ”

"This Pei Hyun's remnants have been lurking in the palace for ten years, is his plot really ......?"

At this point, he didn't dare to say any more, but his eyes couldn't help but sneak into his father.

Zuo Xiangting's expression did not change, and he said slowly: "No matter what Pei Hyunyu's plan is, it is always a variable, so it is natural to let the crown princess prepare early." ”

Zuo Zongyuan suddenly asked, "Doesn't my father think this matter is a little strange?" ”

"What's the strange?"

"Su Shi should know that Princess Pingle is friendly with the crown princess, why didn't he make this request to Princess Pingle, but through his father?"

Zuo Xiangting couldn't help frowning, because it was not unreasonable for Zuo Zongyuan to raise questions.

In the capital, no matter who knows that the relationship between Princess Pingle and Su Shi is very ambiguous, Su Shi wants to see the crown princess, and it should be easy to pass Princess Pingle, why does he want to go far?

Zuo Zongyuan continued: "And I feel that Su Shi is not tracking down the cause of the prince's death as he said, but to find out the remnants of Pei Hyun hiding in the palace. ”

Not only did he feel this way, but Zuo Xiangting also faintly found that Su Shi seemed to have another purpose.

So what is his purpose?

Zuo Xiangting sighed secretly, because he really couldn't think of it.

Su Shi was also in the carriage at this time, and when he saw off Zuo Xiangting's father and son, he asked Lin Mo to prepare the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Su Shi only said two words: "Qin Mansion." ”

Lin Mo was slightly stunned: "Childe is going to meet Lord Qin?" ”

"Lord Qin is busy with official business, so there is no need to disturb his old man." Su Shi said: "I have something to find Miss Qin Nan." ”

Although Lin Mo didn't know what Gongzi was crazy about, he had to drive the carriage towards the Qin Mansion.

When he came to the gate of the Qin Mansion, Menzi was also shocked when he saw Su Shi, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Mr. Su is here to find my master?" Menzi said: "But the master is not in the mansion at this time. ”

"Miss Qin Nan is in the mansion?"

Hearing this, Menzi seemed a little hesitant and muttered, "Miss is in the house, but ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Shi hurriedly said, "Please inform me, I will discuss something with your young lady." ”

The man refused to enter the palace for a long time to report, although Su Shi and the young lady had a marriage contract, and the wedding date was also set, but after all, they had not yet married.

Now that it is getting late, Su Shi said that he wanted to see Miss, and the master and the eldest prince were not in the mansion, so it would be inappropriate to rashly introduce Su Gongzi into the mansion to meet Miss.

What's more, lonely men and widows are in the same room, and spreading it will naturally damage the reputation of the young lady.

Su Shi naturally didn't think of this, and when he saw that the door was struggling and refused to report, he had to step into the mansion to find Qin Nan.

Menzi was shocked and hurriedly stopped in front of him, and Lin Mo also had to take action to hold the son.

"Why are you holding me back?" Su Shi felt a little inexplicable.

Lin Mo sighed and hurriedly said to Menzi: "My son-in-law made a special trip to visit Lord Qin and discuss something with Lord Qin. Since Lord Qin hasn't returned to the house yet, can we wait for Lord Qin in the study? ”

Menzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand: "In this case, Master Su, please follow me to the study to rest for a while, as soon as the master comes back, the little one will tell the master, saying that the son is waiting for the master in the study." ”

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this covering your ears and stealing the bell." ”

When he came to the study, someone had already made tea for Su Shi, but Su Shi didn't have the intention of drinking tea at this time, and stood at the desk and fell into contemplation.

I don't know how long it took, Qin Nan hurried over with her personal maid Wan'er.

Coming to the door of the study, Qin Nan slowed down, looked towards the study with a shy face, and saw Su Shi standing by the desk, looking at the bright moon outside the window, his fingers kept tapping on the table, obviously there was something on his mind.

Qin Nan knew that he had come to the Qin Mansion to look for her so late, and he must have something important to discuss with her, so he didn't care about the shyness in his heart and slowly walked into the study.

Wan'er didn't follow up, but stood in front of the door of the study with interest.

Su Shi was contemplating, when he suddenly smelled a fragrance like an orchid musk, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Nan standing in front of him with a red face.

"You're finally here." Su Shi said straight to the point: "I went to the Flower Pavilion last night, and this afternoon I visited the head of the Nangong family, and I just finished the banquet for Lord Zuo. ”

Qin Nan looked at him in a daze: "What are you doing in the Flower Pavilion?" ”

"Find Zhong Lingyao to confirm one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Does Zhong Lichuan really have insomnia?"

Qin Nan looked at him curiously: "Why did you confirm this?" ”

Su Shi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I learned from Zhong Lingyao that Zhong Lichuan has not always had insomnia, he has only been suffering from insomnia for a year. ”

Qin Nan's eyes lit up, as if he understood what he meant: "Why does a person suddenly get insomnia?" ”

"Long-term anxiety, stress and depression can all make a person sleepless."

"Why does Zhong Lichuan have these emotions?"

"Although Zhong Lingyao doesn't know the reason, I have a guess."

"What speculation?"

Su Shi groaned: "Could it be that Zhong Lichuan knows something that he shouldn't know." ”

Qin Nan looked at him suspiciously: "Why do you have such a guess?" ”

"Zhong Lingyao told me that the day before the prince was killed, that is, on the night of the 28th day of the winter month, Zhong Lichuan's whole person suddenly became very relaxed, and he also slept very deeply that night."

"A person is only very relaxed when he is completely liberated, so I have a feeling that Zhong Lichuan seems to know what will happen next, and he also understands that he will usher in complete liberation."

Hearing Su Shi's bold guess, Qin Nan couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

"Do you think that Zhong Lichuan already knew that the crown prince would be killed on the twenty-ninth day of the winter month?"

Then she suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that Zhong Lichuan is also Pei Hyun's person?" ”
