Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Catching Xue Lin is not the point.

The focus is on the people behind him.

Xiao Rongxi did not hesitate to use Pengcheng's dark lines to suppress this force forcefully. The capital would definitely receive the news, so how could there be no reaction at all?
Could it be that the opponent also made a move to cut off his arm and abandon the army to protect his commander?
"At the beginning, Xue Lin sent someone to send the letter to the capital, which mansion did it end up in?"

Fei Liu: "They entered the capital in six ways, and finally went to three directions, Taishi's Mansion, Chenwang Mansion, and the Imperial Palace."

Xiao Rongxi's expression froze, "There are also in the palace?"

"Yes, but the ones in the palace were intercepted by us and found to be fake. It should be just a cover-up. As for the Chenwang Mansion and the Grand Master's Mansion, we have no way of knowing."

At present, there are only these two parties that are powerful in the capital, but Xue Lin is smart enough to not lose one of them.

Even after Ye Jingyuan gave the false address back then, he didn't show any abnormalities, so it was impossible to deduce who he was.

Xiao Rongxi thought for a while, then shook his head and sighed, "There is only one real master, and Prince Chen and Yu Xinghong are at odds... When Prince Chen came here in secret, could it be that he also found something wrong?"

This matter has not been investigated clearly, and now it seems that there should be a connection.

Fei Liu also shook his head.

No evidence was found, so it's all speculation.

"Forget it, let's settle the matter here first, let Zhang Dian pay more attention to the capital side."

"clear."

After Fei Liu responded, he resolutely got out of the carriage and stopped disturbing the two people in the carriage.

As soon as the curtain fell, Xiao Rongxi felt a weight on his shoulders.

He turned his head and saw that Nan Zhen's eyes were tightly closed, with a layer of gray under them, so he slowed down his voice, "Sleepy?"

"Well," Nan Zhen whispered, "I didn't sleep well last night."

Xiao Rongxi raised her hand to embrace him, Nan Zhen automatically arched her head and found a more comfortable position, in exchange for a chuckle from the other party.

Xiao Rongxi first checked her wrist, and seeing that the choke marks on it had faded away, she nodded herself.

After tidying up the sleeves, he smoothed the slightly frowning brows for her.

Although Nan Zhen closed her eyes, she could feel that his gaze was always on her face.

Just when he was about to open his eyes, there was a soft touch from the side of his face, as well as the other party's deliberately light breathing, which was warm, slow, and lingering.

Xiao Rongxi lingered on her cheek for a while, then gradually turned to the side of her ear, rubbing the tip of her nose against each other, and her breath was full of meaning.

"I'll call you when the bus arrives at Cai's house."

"it is good."

After Xiao Rongxi finished speaking, she raised her head, saw the eyelashes of the person in her arms trembling slightly, and smiled.

Unexpectedly, Nan Zhen opened her eyes suddenly, hooked his neck and stuck her up, without saying any extra words between her lips and teeth.

……

In the early morning, the sun poured down and fell on the plaque of Taishi Mansion, glowing with golden light.

In midsummer, the green plants outside the study are lush and full of vitality.

Yu Xinghong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the leaves that were shaken down by the wind from time to time, with long eyes.

In front of him was a letter from Pengcheng signed by Xue Lin.

The butler stood by and observed for a long time before saying, "Master, over there in Pengcheng..."

"Give it up."

In just three words, all the hard work for so many years was wiped out, and even the smoke and dust could not be seen.

The butler hesitated, "Master, Pengcheng's position is so important, and the army is strong, should we just let it go?"

"Is there any other way?" Yu Xinghong narrowed his eyes, and his gaze changed from calm to sharp, "Your Majesty is pressing down on you, and the King Chen next to you is staring at you. You can't wait to lie on the roof of the Grand Master's Mansion, find a crack, and follow the vine. Give us a fatal blow, if you don't give up, you will only catch fire."

Ye Jingyuan moved even the dark thread, showing his determination.

But other than that, there is indeed no other way to take back the initiative in a short time.

Yu Xinghong took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the palace, with a little doubt in his eyes.

To move the hidden line, you must have His Majesty's permission.

However, since His Majesty came back from praying for blessings, he has been living in the deep palace to recuperate from his illness, and the number of times he summoned ministers has also decreased sharply. When did you issue the order?

Furthermore, Ye Jingyuan was arrested, and many officials in Pengcheng were replaced one by one. Who revealed the news about Pengcheng?
Thinking of something, Yu Xinghong's eyes suddenly froze.

He spoke, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was asking the person next to him, "Is Your Majesty really sick, or is he pretending to be sick?"

Although the capital is chaotic, the situation is not out of control.

They thought it would be a good time for them to expand their power after His Majesty's resignation, but they were hindered instead.

From Haitang County to Pengcheng, everything is not easy.

After hearing his words, the butler was stunned for a moment, "It's... hard to say."

Yu Xinghong was silent for a moment, and then ordered, "When the young master takes a rest in a few days, you ask him to come to the study to find me."

"Yes."

"Okay," Yu Xinghong sat down again, picked up the letter from Xue Lin, "You go down first, I have to think about what to do next."

Hearing this, the housekeeper bowed and retreated.

Once the door is closed, the heat is also isolated.

……

Last night was extremely hot and oppressive. When I opened the door this morning, I saw that it was raining outside, and it hadn't stopped yet.

As soon as Nan Zhen woke up, she got up, pressed her slightly sore temples, raised her hands and walked outside in front of the light.

Xiao Rongxi was reading a book, and breakfast was already set up on the round table next to her. Fried dough sticks, steamed stuffed buns, green onion pancakes, pumpkin porridge, cold salad...it was very rich.

"Why didn't you call me?" Nan Zhen leaned towards him, "The porridge will be cold in a while."

Seeing her coming, Xiao Rongxi put down the book, and stretched out his hand to hold her, "Seeing that you were sound asleep, I didn't want to wake you up."

He looked at the table full of food again, "The temperature is high in summer, it doesn't matter if you eat in a little light."

Nan Zhen smiled and felt completely awake after washing up.

She put the pumpkin porridge into her mouth with a spoon, and asked, "Have you left the rest to Ye Dudu?"

"nature."

If he had to do everything himself, what would these subordinates do?

Nan Zhen blinked, "Did Xue Lin recruit?"

"No," Xiao Rongxi shook his head, "he committed suicide."

Xue Lin was not bad at martial arts, and while the guard was not paying attention, he bumped into the opponent's saber and died on the spot.

If he didn't confess the mastermind behind the scenes, it would be useless for Ye Jingyuan to keep him; if he confessed the mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid it would affect his family.

There is no way to survive anyway, it is better to kill yourself, and you can suffer less.

Nan Zhen held the handle of the spoon and stirred the porridge in the bowl, but she didn't feel much.

There is no chance of turning back on the road you choose, even if you know that there is an abyss ahead, you still have to go forward.

After dinner, Xiao Rongxi went to the front yard to talk to Cai Wen, while Nan Zhen stayed in the Qiyun Pavilion to play with the caged birds.

Amidst the chirping birds, Fei Liu strode forward, stopped three steps away from Nan Zhen, and cupped his hands, "Niang Niang, Miss Si Si is begging to see you outside."

Nan Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then threw the dead branch of the bird, "Let her in."
