"Have you ever wondered why Xu Yingke died?" Meng Xiu asked as he looked at An Zhongning, who had come to inquire about the case.

"It's not that you died of ...... For the sake of the county lord. An Zhongning didn't dare to say much about it, so he stopped there.

"Then don't you think it's strange?" Meng Xiu frowned: "He didn't rush to die after being imprisoned, but chose to be in front of the county lord. ”

"Probably...... Is it to see the county lord for the last time?" An Zhongning was a little puzzled when he heard this, but he felt that Meng Xiu's doubts were indeed worth considering.

"No," Meng Xiu shook his head: "The attendant said that he was surprised when he saw the county lord, which means that he didn't expect the county lord to go...... It wasn't so much that he was there to see the county lord, but that the county lord hastened his death. ”

"What do you mean......"

"It was Tingxue County who wanted him to die," Meng Xiu frowned: "I didn't expect it...... She pretended to be pitiful in Xu Yingke, making him subconsciously feel that he loved him very much; In this way, Xu Yingke will prove his love for her in front of her......"

"This ......"

"No, it's not right...... Meng Xiuwu laughed to himself: "Xu Yingke knows......"

Xu Yingke knew the plan of the county lord of Tingxue, he was using his own death to help her for the last time, and also to remind her for the last time......

"Meng Xiu," An Zhongning sighed and patted Meng Xiu: "Put it down." ”

"I know ......" Meng Xiu looked at An Zhongning and suddenly spoke: "Master Li was killed, and the seat of the household department can be regarded as vacant." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Nangong Yu Heng, it seems to be ......" Meng Xiu smiled: "The case was handed over to Lu Lizhi, the squire of the Xing Department, and the emperor will definitely not ask you to be idle; You should take him with you. ”

"That's the queen's younger brother," An Zhongning sighed, "I'm worried that he's a demon king of the world and will give me trouble." ”

"That's not going to happen," Meng Xiu patted An Zhongning's shoulder: "I've seen this person, good brother, don't worry; This time I didn't let you go for nothing, as long as the case is solved, Pan Zhijin will be arrested...... I asked the emperor to promote Feng Yu, the head of the household department, to be the head of the household department, and you are the head of the household department. ”

"This ......" An Zhongning was surprised: "I haven't had any big achievements, how can I become a household servant?"

"Because the emperor believes me," Meng Xiu sighed: "The swords are blocked, how can I have someone to take care of in the court, help you, but also help myself." ”

"You...... It seems that something has changed," An Zhongning smiled: "In the past, you were alone. ”

"In order to bring it down, the biggest force behind it," Meng Xiu's eyes were firm: "Also to give the princess a clean morning cold." ”

The brocade was taken to a Taoist temple for cultivation, which was isolated from the outside world and rarely cultivated in the mountains; The Taoists in the view are not good at words, but they all take good care of her.

After listening to what Jin Chen told her about everything that had happened these days, Su Zili was depressed: Nie Xiuhe clearly had his own power, but he still refused to take him back.

"It's also possible that it's not because there is still danger there," Jin Chen smiled and approached Su Zili: "Girl, think about it carefully, is it possible that he left you here to make you a hostage in the palace or ...... What about the mole?"

"Impossible," Su Zili shook his head: "Xiu He has an enmity with the emperor, but his willingness to accept the official position means that he has let go; And the prince is a friend who grew up with him, and Bao and Wang raised him again, how can he guard against Bao and Wang?"

"That may not be ......" Jin Chen looked at Su Zili's eyes and suddenly said, "Miss Su, if Jin Chen didn't guess wrong...... It should be Nie Xiuhe who told the girl that the prince and General Zeng would attend the birthday banquet, right?"

"How...... How could it be," Su Zili looked away and lowered her head slightly: "I'm a woman......"

"That day, the girl went to eavesdrop," Jin Chen sat on the stone bench beside Su Zili and said slowly: "I guess it was Nie Xiuhe who had been following Meng Xiu, and he knew that Meng Xiu would have something strange going to Anping Palace, so he asked you to listen." ”

"You ......"

"Shh," Jin Chen smiled, "I won't tell anyone, especially the prince." I just hope that Miss Su will think about it for herself, whether the adult who is full of nonsense and the supremacy of power is worthy of the girl to follow. ”

"Jin Chen......" Su Zili sighed: "What you said is actually not that I haven't thought about it...... It's just that I want to meet him, and I want to hear him tell me everything himself. ”

Lin Zaifeng was very upset, because Su Zili proposed to move out of the palace and return to Liuli Pavilion. The reason is also very simple: she came to the palace because she was afraid of being threatened by Zeng Yiren, and now that Zeng Yiren has been exiled, Su Zili naturally has nothing to fear.

"Lord Wang, your kindness and daughter can't be repaid," Su Zili looked at Lin Zaifeng with a haggard face, and was a little ashamed: "From now on, if the prince needs any help, Zili will definitely give it away." ”

"Miss Su," Lin Zaifeng smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm the prince, and there won't be any trouble...... The only thing I want but can't get is probably ...... Girl, if you have any trouble from now on, please remember Lin Zaifeng's name. I'm content......"

Su Zili looked at the firm and fragile man in front of her, and for the first time in her heart, she had a strange feeling...... She saluted Lin Zaifeng, full of respect and gratitude.

Respect him as a gentleman, and thank him for not taking advantage of others.

Watching Su Zili leave the palace, Lin Zaifeng stood alone for a long time. It was winter, and the wind and snow seemed to be unusually heavy that day.
