Chapter 458
Sleeping in the mandarin quilt for a long night, the sound of dripping rain.

The temperature was just right, and Xin Yi slept soundly.

In the dream, there was chaos, horses neighing, and rows of armored imperial guards surrounded the princess mansion. Fu Jiuqu pushed open the door with both hands, and the bright red blood on the flying robes made his face stand out. Pale and handsome, but with a deadly strangeness...

"Ninth Brother..."

"no, do not want……"

Xin Yi wanted to tell him not to go out, but he couldn't make a sound no matter what, and the struggle was futile. The whole person was ups and downs in the absurd dream...

"Eleven, what's the matter?" Warm hands caressed her face.

Xin Yi fell into a familiar embrace, woke up suddenly, and found that tears were streaming down his face at some point.

She was stunned and stroked her hair, "I'm having a nightmare."

Fu Jiuqu gently supported her shoulders to lie down, making her sleep more comfortably.

"Dream what?"

"dream……"

Before Xin Yi finished speaking, footsteps came from outside. The visitor seemed to deliberately lower his voice, walked cautiously, and said something to the guard outside the door.

Soon, there was a low knock on the door.

"Father..."

It was Sun Huai's voice, and then Cheng Cang said: "Jun Wang, I have something to report."

A fire glowed outside the window.

Xin Yi pushed Fu Jiuqu's chest, "Go now."

These attendants had followed Fu Jiuqu for many years and knew his temper very well. If it was not an urgent matter, they would not knock on the door in the middle of the night.

Fu Jiuqu sat up and covered her with the cold quilt.

"You go to sleep first."

Xin Yi said: "If you wake up, you won't be able to sleep. I'll wait for you to come back."

Fu Jiuqu looked out again, with a smile in his eyes.

"Grinding people."

Xin Yi yawned, sat up and leaned against the bed, picked up the scroll he read before going to bed last night, and put the quilt around his waist.Fu Jiuqu didn't want to be served in the room, and Xin Yi didn't serve her husband and son-in-law as diligently as other women, but just looked down at her book.

Fu Jiuqu put on his clothes, leaned over and kissed her cheek slightly, and then strode away.

Xin Yi thought it wouldn't take long to say something, but unexpectedly, Fu Jiuqu didn't come back until dawn.

At that time, Xin Yi had already fallen asleep.

Fu Jiuqu didn't wake her up, and lay beside her for a while, seeing her open her eyes, he smiled gently.

"woke up?"

Xinyi rolled over like a silkworm chrysalis and hugged him, with a strong nasal voice.

"Why didn't you call me when you came back?"

Fu Jiuqu: "Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to disturb you."

Xin Yi glanced at him with a smile, "Is something wrong?"

Fu Jiuqu's smile faded away, his expression somewhat dignified.

"The officials did not notify the Imperial City Secretary and ordered the inner palace guards to destroy the people in the temple."

"The family ugliness is not publicized, which is in line with the temperament of the official family." Xin Yi thought for a while and asked: "When you interrogated Mrs. Wen, didn't you reveal your identity?"

Fu Jiuqu shook his head.

Xin Yi asked, "Then what are you worried about?"

Fu Jiuqu said: "In the middle of the night, the palace guards went to the ruined temple to arrest people, and at the same time went to Chunxu Lane... Zhang Xun is not at the house. I think there is Zhang Xun's eyeliner in the palace, and he got wind of it."

Xin Yi was slightly surprised, "Zhang Xun escaped?"

"He didn't escape." Fu Jiuqu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his face was cold. "I can't find it all over the city. On the fourth watch, he suddenly appeared outside the Xuande Gate to plead guilty and knelt down to beg His Majesty."

This move is very strange.

Xin Yi asked: "Over there at the official house..."

"Let Eunuch Li come out and take him in, and he hasn't left all night."

The night wind blew in from nowhere, and it swayed the gauze curtain hanging in front of the bed.

Even more silent, Xin Yi held Fu Jiuqu's hand and remained relatively silent.

After a long time, she said: "Ouroboros will not always beat the butterfly. The butterfly's wings have been flapping for so long, it's time for a hurricane..."

The whole plan is seamless, and Xin Yi is fully sure.

The only worry is Zhang Xun's aura as the hero.

The hero is always at the end of his life, killing people, seizing treasures, marrying beautiful wives, and slapping villains. Zhang Xun's previous life is enough to prove this.

"It'll be fine." Fu Jiuqu noticed the worry in her brows, held her face in his hands, smiled slightly, turned his head and closed his eyes to kiss her, his voice rolled between his lips, slow and long.

"Didn't you say that villains also have counterattacks?"

Xin Yi hugged him with a soft voice, "Yes, Brother Nine's biggest advantage is... the suppression of blood. In any case, the officials are protecting you..."

Fu Jiuqu looked up into her eyes, condescending, and stared at her for a long time.

"What kind of thing is he? Also worthy of blood suppression?"

This man has a wonderful desire to win.

Blood suppression does not mean nepotism.

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows, "Then what should we do now?"

Fu Jiuqu stretched out his hand to hug her, pinched her cheek lightly, and smiled slightly.

"Are you awake? If you're not sleepy, go out for a walk with me."

·
Fu Jiuqu led Xin Yi into the courtyard of the Imperial City Department, and everyone's attention was attracted.

Eyes from all directions were focused on Xin Yi, the bride.

During the suspension period, Wei Mao took over the post of Imperial City Secretary on his behalf.

When Fu Jiuqu came, Wei Mao and Cai Qi were in the meeting room, accompanied by several subordinates.

Hearing that the King of Guangling County was coming, all the people stood up to greet each other, bowed one by one, greeted humbly for a while before sitting down, and then talked about Zhang Xun's affairs.

The people under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Division guarded the Xuande Gate, and Zhang Xun's troubles naturally couldn't escape their eyes. We have worked together for many years, and we have a deep relationship, so we know everything.

"Zhang Shu was sent to Dali Temple Prison before dawn. He was interrogated by the officials himself, and no one else intervened. He was guarded by the inner guards of the Forbidden Palace, and no rumors were released."

"There are also Zhang Jiashiro and a steady woman who are also imprisoned. This matter really arouses suspicion."

"Someone speculated that Zhang Shuzhi had an affair with that lady in Xiangluan Pavilion, and this caused the official's thunderous wrath..."

"The villain has no restraint! The officials will not tolerate it."

"The official family has a kind heart, so they may not punish him."

"That's the crime of beheading. No matter how tolerant you are, how can you condone and raise traitors? Let's see you later, the admonisher will definitely join him."

"Everyone, the officials asked the question in person and avoided the Imperial City Secretary, so you haven't thought about why?"

Everyone was chattering, each with their own guesses.

Cai Qi scratched his head and squinted at Fu Jiuqu.

"In my opinion, Xingyuan is not a lustful person, no matter what, he would never touch an official's woman..."

His eyes flickered, pointing, "What do you think of Chonglou?"

Cai Qi was straightforward, and he had a sworn friendship with Zhang Xingyuan. After the whole incident, Fu Jiuqu borrowed him to act, but he didn't talk too much with him.

But Cai Qi is not a fool, he has already guessed in his heart.

"I don't know." Fu Jiuqu answered simply, smiling and winking at Xin Yi, "Aren't you going to enter the palace today to see Mrs. Zhou?"

Xin Yi put down the teacup, and said softly, "Yes, the king of the county wants to accompany me?"

Fu Jiuqu said lightly, "Of course."
