Dayong Nu sentenced to death

"Girl, I just received the news that the people sent by His Majesty to pick up Song Daiyan have secretly entered Beijing."

Zhu Yan's voice was low, "But Song Daiyan... is dead."

He bit the last two words very hard, Su Rao's hand shaking the teacup suddenly froze, and looked up at him, "Dead?"

"Well, dead."

Zhu Yan repeated it again, his eyes were thin and cold, revealing a look of contempt and sarcasm, "The imperial court committed a serious crime, and the envoy who washed the inkstone platform personally escorted him, and he actually made people die on the road."

"Do you know the cause of death?"

Su Rao caressed the edge of the teacup, quietly staring at a touch of green floating on the water, and continued to sway slowly.

Zhu Yan shook his head: "I don't know for now, I have to wait for some time."

"Where's the body?"

"They were sent back to the capital together, sealed in a sealed coffin, and entered the palace directly."

The felon handpicked by His Majesty, if something went wrong halfway, there must be an explanation, Zhu Yan snorted softly when he said this, "Actually, what is the difference between where the body is, the death case is dismissed, the private mine case in Shanglin County, That’s the only way to end it.”

The clues and account books they worked hard to find for several days turned into a joke in the end.

Those palace nobles who eat human blood steamed buns are still sensual and carefree, really hateful.

From the corner of her eye, Su Rao caught a glimpse of the resentment hidden in his eyes, lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, "Didn't you already prepare for this?"

"Preparation is one thing, but when it actually happens, who can be indifferent?"

Zhu Yan looked at her in surprise, "Girl, don't you feel annoyed?"

"Annoyed, what's the use of being annoyed?"

Su Rao put the teacup lightly on the stone table with a half smile, and sighed: "Those people in Yunzhou can do it because the higher-ups have the intention to investigate and want to kill chickens to scare monkeys, but the people in this city can't do it, and it's the same reason. "

"Thousands of lives, piles of dead bones, just like this lightly exposed, the king's law is just like nothing..."

Zhu Yan felt powerless. To others, these were just a series of cold numbers, but to them, it was the despair and desolation that they had personally experienced.

He was a little sad.

Su Rao didn't say anything more, Song Daiyan is dead, the case has been settled, this is an unchangeable fact, it's useless to think about it, it's better to plan the things in front of you, and only when you sit where you want to sit, can you do what you want to do .

"By the way, girl, the imperial court's rewards for Donggong and Young Master have been made clear."

Zhu Yan's voice changed, and she narrated what happened in the morning. Su Rao slowly put away the idle look on her face, stood up and walked towards Banyue Pavilion.

"Hey, girl, what are you doing?"

Why did you leave?
Zhu Yan shouted at her back, Su Rao didn't turn her head back, her voice was light: "Fresh and change, there will be a distinguished guest later."

"Guest..."

Zhu Yan looked at the direction where she disappeared thoughtfully, this is a newcomer who doesn't know many people, how can there be any distinguished guests?
As soon as Su Rao had finished cleaning up, the porter came to deliver a message. Zhao Afu looked nervous and bowed in the courtyard, "Miss, someone is coming from the palace."

Zhu Yan's eyes changed slightly, and she looked at Su Rao, but seeing her calm and composed appearance, she seemed to have expected all this, "Is this the honored guest that the girl said?"

"Yes."

Su Rao stood up, walked out with Zhao Afu, Zhu Yan followed suit, and said strangely: "How do you know?"

"It's very simple. The palace's rewards have not been delivered for a long time. They are discussing those matters. Now it is clear that the discussion has a result, and the palace will naturally take action."

I don't know what the result is.

There was a slight smile in Su Rao's eyes, and she walked all the way to the gate of the mansion, the main gate was wide open, and she could clearly see the silver armored guards and the leader standing outside with guns.

"Master Gu, why are you here?"

"Who does the girl think?"

Gu Cheng smiled, and said seriously: "Let's not talk about gossip, I'm here to pass on His Majesty's instructions."

"Su Rao listens to the order."

"The girl is here."

Su Rao bent down and knelt down, Gu Cheng said loudly: "Send Su Rao, the daughter of Su Fengyan, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment, to come to the palace immediately to see her."

"The people's daughter follows the decree."

After Su Rao finished his ceremony, Gu Cheng quickly helped him up, looked at Zhu Yan who was standing not far away, and said, "According to His Majesty's order, Miss Su's safety will be taken over by the Secretary of the Imperial City in the future. Your task is completed, go back."

Zhu Yan looked at Su Rao, Su Rao smiled and said: "You have worked hard these days, please thank my son for me, I will definitely come to thank you someday."

"The girl is serious, and this subordinate will leave."

Zhuyan obviously got wind of the news beforehand, and didn't show any abnormality, she cupped her fists respectfully, turned around and left.

"Master Gu, let's go."

The carriage was ready, and Su Rao was about to get on the carriage, but Gu Cheng peeked into the mansion, and said in a low voice: "Girl, the young master of Jingyang Hou Mansion also wants to enter the palace together."

"Xiao Nan?"

"Yes, His Majesty heard that the young master returned safely, and wants to meet him."

Hearing this, Su Rao nodded, and said to Ah Fu: "Go and invite the young master, just say I'll wait for him here."

"The slave is going here."

Zhao Afu hurriedly turned around and entered the mansion, and several people waited outside for a while before Xiao Nan walked out slowly with him, and walked to Su Rao's side for a quiet stop.

"Okay, hurry up and get in the car, we have to enter the palace."

Gu Cheng urged softly, Su Rao nodded slightly, then led Xiao Nan into the carriage, and the group headed towards the imperial city.

Enter from Suzaku Gate, walk through a spacious and long palace road, and enter Chengtian Gate.

According to the rules, the two got out of the car and walked instead. There was already a servant waiting at the gate of the palace. Gu Cheng said: "Girl, I won't be able to go with you for the rest of the journey. You can go at ease. I will still wait here when I leave the palace."

"Okay, please trouble Mr. Gu."

Su Rao nodded slightly, and then led Xiao Nan and the servants away. The road in the palace was complicated and twists and turns, and they walked for more than half an hour.

Finally arrived at a palace.

The palace door was pushed open, and the servant bowed and said, "Girl, just wait here."

"Thank you, Eunuch."

Su Rao smiled and took out a silver ingot from her sleeve, and handed it over, "This is a kindness from a girl, I should treat you to some tea."

The servant lowered his eyes and glanced at him, finally there was a smile on his face, he said 'how can this happen', but he took the thing with his hand, stuffed it into the sleeve, and said, seemingly unintentionally: "Your Majesty, this is going to happen right now. Talking to Prince Yan, you seem to be in a good mood, girl, don't worry, our master is the most kind person in the world."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaonan again, "His Royal Highness is also here."

Su Rao's eyes flickered slightly, and the smile on her face remained unchanged, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your suggestion."

"Look at what the girl said. Our family just wants to see that the girl is kind, so as not to babble too much. There is no need to mention the word. Maybe we will ask the girl to mention it more in the future."

The maid finished speaking with a smile, saluted, and then retreated. Su Rao watched him leave, and then led Xiao Nan in.

"Why do you come so slowly, I have to wait."
