Dai Ze's request was unexpected by Xin You, but when he thought about it, it was something he would do.

This young man she had dealt with many times had the domineering cruelty of a playboy, but also the purity of his own personal characteristics.

There are indeed ten volumes of "Journey to the West". In order to make things difficult for her, King Qing asked for the unpublished manuscripts of the last eight volumes. These eight volumes were returned to her by Dai Ze.

While the boy waited silently, Xin You nodded slightly: "Okay."

She started from the story in the third volume briefly and continued to the ending: "...In the end, they went through 81 difficult times to see Tathagata Buddha and became the true gods. The golden hoop on Sun Wukong's head also fell off."

"The golden hoop has fallen off, it's so good..." Dai Ze murmured, "This ending is so good..."

Xinyou listened silently, feeling uncomfortable.

Jin Linwei came in and reminded: "It's time to hit the road."

Dai Ze glanced at Jin Linwei, then looked at Xin You: "Miss Kou, I'm leaving then."

Xin You looked at him with a magnanimous look: "Master Dai, have a safe trip."

She has no guilt towards Dai Ze. The end that Guchangbo Mansion ended up with is just the result of today and the cause of the past.

The jailer came over and opened the cell door. Two Jinlin guards put the shackles on Dai Ze and took him out.

Dai Ze was an important figure among these exiled prisoners. The person who escorted him to the exiled place was not an ordinary government officer, but a Jinlin Guard.

Dai Ze walked forward, looked back from a distance, and disappeared around the corner.

Xin You walked out and saw He Qingxiao standing under the tree.

The two hadn't seen each other for some time. Their eyes met for a few seconds before He Qingxiao strode over.

"Has Miss Kou recovered?"

"Almost good." Xin You took a careful look at He Qingxiao.

He was thinner than before leaving Beijing.

In He Qingxiao's eyes, she lost more weight than before.

"I heard that Miss Kou returned to live in Shaoqing's Mansion." He Qingxiao said while walking in one direction.

After he returned to Beijing, he was unable to meet Miss Kou due to his identity and case, but he paid attention to her movements.

Xin You lifted up her skirt and followed, "Well, I'm going back to Shaoqing's residence."

In front is a pavilion, which is transparent on all sides, perfect for talking.

The two walked into the pavilion and sat opposite each other. A Jinlin guard brought tea and then walked away.

Xiao Lengshi was dismissed from office by Tingzhang, which intimidated many people in Beizhen Fusi who were dissatisfied with He Qingxiao.Now that He Qingxiao has more control over Beizhen Fusi, he is not worried that the news of their meeting here will spread.

The breeze blew into the pavilion, blowing their clothes.

He Qingxiao replaced the wine with tea and raised his cup: "Sorry, Miss Kou was injured."

Xin You smiled: "Master He, you don't have to be like this, this has nothing to do with you."

"Although Miss Kou feels that she has nothing to do with me, I can't think so. Xiao Lengshi has always been dissatisfied with my sudden takeover of Beizhen Fusi. He tortured Miss Kou because he was eager to make meritorious service and wanted to take this position. I -" Looking at With the girl's calm eyes, He Qingxiao suddenly couldn't speak anymore.

His discomfort, self-blame, and heartache were ultimately due to him not controlling his own heart and giving birth to feelings he shouldn't have.

Beyond feelings for friends.

This strange emotion, which he had never intended to experience, made him at a loss as to what to do.

"If Mr. He feels sorry, please treat me to dinner another day. I want to eat that kind of crispy duck dipped in sweet sauce. Is it available in the capital?" Xin You didn't want He Qingxiao to feel guilty, so she asked him with a smile.

Mr. He, who didn't have much spare money to go to a big restaurant, was asked.

After an awkward moment, he pretended to be calm: "The crispy duck made by Aunt Gui is more delicious than the ones outside. I will let Aunt Gui cook it later and ask Miss Kou to taste it." "Okay."

He Qingxiao looked at the calm and gentle girl and asked, "Does Miss Kou have any plans to return to Shaoqing's residence?"

Xinyou lowered his eyes and focused his gaze on the cup.

The green tea leaves floated and stretched in the water. Some buds and leaves met, and some buds and leaves separated.

The Guchangbo Mansion suddenly collapsed, Concubine Shu was sentenced to death, and King Qing was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned.Regarding this result, her heart, which had never stopped hurting since her mother was killed, finally gained some peace.

If her mother could not come back, it would be meaningless to her how that person would arrange her mother's funeral arrangements.

Perhaps, she can also choose to leave the capital?

"I'm just tired and want to take a rest." Xin You replied after feeling shaken.

Seeing that Xin You was hiding something, He Qingxiao did not pursue the question. Instead, after a slight hesitation, he chose to tell her the information he had: "Zhou Tong's daughter Zhou Ningyue, Zhou Tong's sister Ji Zhou, and her daughter Ji Cailan were implicated by Zhou Tong. Official slave..."

Xin You's face changed slightly.

These days, her thoughts were entirely focused on how that person would deal with Concubine Shu, mother and son, and the Guchangbo Mansion. She did not expect that Zhou Ningyue, who had become an orphan, would be implicated.

Zhou Ningyue is a filial piety person. They haven't seen each other much in the past six months. They meet Ji Cailan from time to time, and they will hear about Zhou Ningyue's current situation from Ji Cailan.

"How are they now?"

"The official mission was sudden, and they were taken away before they could do anything. Now they are locked up with the female relatives of various families who have not been made official slaves, waiting for further arrangements."

Xin You breathed a sigh of relief first.

The female relatives of officials were turned into official slaves because of men's crimes. Many of them could not accept it and chose to commit suicide.I heard Master He said there is room for change in this matter, as long as the person is still there.

Sure enough, He Qingxiao said: "Their guilt is not serious. Although they cannot be restored to good status, they can be adopted as domestic slaves after some arrangements..."

Although domestic slaves are still slaves and maids, they are much better than going to the Jiaofangsi and other places.

Xin You did not hesitate and bowed to He Qingxiao: "I would also like to ask Mr. He to help me make arrangements to buy them as domestic slaves."

He Qingxiao agreed and stood up to see her off: "Miss Kou has lost a lot of weight. She should have a good rest."

After sending Xin You out, He Qingxiao went back to the Changle Marquis Mansion first.

"Why is Lord Marquis back at this time?" Aunt Gui was a little surprised when she saw He Qingxiao.

Since returning to Beijing, Mr. Hou has been very busy. It will be better until the case is settled, but this is the first time he has come back early in the morning.

He Qingxiao glanced at Aunt Gui: "Aunt Gui is crying?"

Aunt Gui had concealed herself very well, but when He Qingxiao asked this question, tears burst into her eyes.

Nowadays, no one in the capital knows that the empress who has been missing for many years was killed by Gu Changbo, and Aunt Gui naturally knows about it.

The Queen is dead, her sister is dead, and those who had a deep friendship with her are all dead.

Just thinking about these is painful.

"In my slave's mind, the Queen is a fairy-like figure. How could this be possible?"

"My condolences, Aunt Gui." He Qingxiao comforted her warmly.

Aunt Gui wiped her tears and smiled at He Qingxiao: "Look at me, why are you talking to Mr. Hou about this? Is there anything going on when Mr. Hou comes back?"

At this time, it would be better to let Aunt Gui have something to do. He Qingxiao asked: "Can Aunt Gui make crispy duck?"

"Crispy duck?" Aunt Gui asked He Qingxiao unexpectedly, "I don't know how to do this."
