That night, Ah Lian hurriedly packed up his things, took two people with him, and set out on the road.
He discussed with Huan Ci for a long time today. Now that Huan Ci could not leave the capital at all, and the emperor kept a close eye on him, it was really inconvenient for them to do anything.
So he decided to go back to Bingzhou in person and have a good discussion with the prince.
Besides, the reason he went there was to discuss the princess' marriage with the prince, so Zong Zhengyuan must not have been able to find a suitable excuse to stop him.
In front of the gate, Huan Ci comforted Alian's horse and said to the man on the horse: "Go back quickly!"
Ah Lian nodded and told A Yao: "Take good care of the princess."
"Don't worry!" Ayao opened her mouth and said.
However, Ah Lian did not hear this, as his horse had already run several feet away.
After bidding farewell to Ah Lian, Huan Ci went back to rest listlessly. Since she came to the capital, she had been staying in the house every day, and now she was very tired of it.
Because he was thinking about Ah Lian and taking a nap for too long, Huan Ci tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.
The next morning, after the second quarter of the morning, the woman in the room still had her eyes tightly closed.
"girl!"
A Yao's loud voice frightened her to wake up immediately.
She opened the curtain and looked at the panting Ayao's mouth opening and closing.
"Girl, there was a notice posted in front of the government office. The superior actually said that the Kihara case was committed by a group of wolves. Now those wolves have been hunted and killed by the government. They also hung wolf skins in front of the door, and even some common people
I want to make an offer to buy it.”
"This is unreasonable!" Huan Ci was furious, lifted up the quilt and walked out.
"Girl, where are you going?"
"The Minister of Dali Temple lives next to us, so naturally we went to his house to ask." Huan Ci said solemnly.
She wanted to ask Fu Shen and hear how he explained all this. She couldn't let this matter go so lightly.
Not long after, there was a rapid knock on the door of Fu Shen's house.
When the doorman saw that it was Princess Ding'an who had thrown stones a few days ago, he stammered: "Princess, Princess."
"Where's Fu Shen?" Huan Ci walked in directly.
"The princess and the younger ones will go and report first."
"No need." Huan Ci walked to the upper room with ease.
Today the imperial court is closed for bathing, so he really stays at home.
When Huan Ci walked in, Fu Shen was sitting leisurely with a book in his hands.
"Master Fu is so elegant and happy." Huan Ci was so angry when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but said in a strange tone.
Fu Shen raised his head and glanced at the visitor, stood up and said, "I've met Princess Ding'an. Come, let's have some tea."
"No need," Huan Ci said coldly, "I heard that the Kiyuan case has been resolved. I wonder if Mr. Fu can explain it."
"What does the princess want to know?"
"Fu Xuanmo, stop pretending. Of course you know exactly why I'm here."
"I don't know."
"You--" Huan Ci glared at him angrily, "Do you think I'm a fool? I request a new trial of the case, and I want to ask someone I know to do an autopsy."
"The case was closed yesterday. If the princess has any doubts, it is better to go and see His Majesty in person."
"Huh! Aren't you just his lackey? What? You don't know how to pass on messages?" Huan Ci said sarcastically.
Fu Shen didn't respond, just looked at her coldly.
Huan Ci glanced around the room and said to the others: "Where is Liu Rao? Please come out, I want to see her."
What Liu Rao said yesterday was very suspicious. She might know something.
"You're not allowed to go." Fu Shen gave a warning look to the people below, "You all get out."
"Ayao, let's go into the palace." Huan Ci thought that Fu Shen must be tight-lipped. She was so angry that she came here.
With Fu Shen's kind of character, is it abnormal for him to help her?
But before she could reach the door, Ayao had been dragged out by Su Ye, and the door was closed from the outside.
"Open the door!" Huan Ci kicked the door angrily, but it had no effect.
"Fu Shen, you are so brave." She turned back to look for Fu Shen, but the man stood behind her at some point, his gaze firmly fixed on her face.
"What else do you want to do?" Fu Shen's thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was full of deep charm.
"I just want the truth." Huan Ci gave him a cold look, "I would like to ask Zong Zhengyuan how his men do things?"
"Huan Ci."
Fu Shen suddenly called her by name.
Huan Ci raised his eyes to look at him, and the man's cold voice reached his ears: "This is not Bingzhou, and you are not allowed to run wild."
"So? Was it your idea for Zong Zhengyuan to bring me to the capital?"
The man remained silent.
Huan Ci smiled coldly: "Fu Shen, I really misjudged you. If you feel that you have been humiliated by me, you can take revenge on me, but you actually ignore human life and are willing to sacrifice your life for someone like Zong Zhengyuan."
"Of course I can't compare to you." Fu Shen looked at her with ridicule in his eyes, "If Zong Zhengyuan is willing to let your father go, but the condition is that you enter the palace, will you refuse?"
"You do understand me," Huan Ci sneered, "In that case, I understand what you mean."
Nowadays, people are serving as swordsmen and others as fish and meat. If you want to make waves in the capital on your own, it is simply a fool's dream.
"If I had any illusion that you would let me go before, I no longer have any illusions from now on."
"You shouldn't have counted on me." Fu Shen said in a deep voice.
"Knock knock——"
A Yao's voice sounded outside the door: "Girl, your Royal Highness is here."
Huan Ci and Fu Shen looked at each other, but there was no surprise on the other's face.
"Can I leave?" she asked.
"Sweep the leaves." Fu Shen shouted softly.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Sao Ye's cold and solemn face appeared in his eyes.
Huan Ci glanced at Fu Shen coldly, then turned and left.
Behind her, Fu Shen followed the woman's back with his eyes until she disappeared from sight.
Last night, in Lingwu Hall——
Zong Zhengyuan looked at the man kneeling below with a calm expression: "Lü'er, you are too confused."
Zong Zhenglu sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "What the father said is that this matter was indeed handled improperly by my son."
"Now is not the time." Zong Zhengyuan's voice revealed his fatigue and old age, "The barbarians are about to attack Bingzhou. If we touch him now, will we still lose the country we finally conquered?"
"I know I was wrong." Zong Zhenglu shouted loudly.
Zong Zhengyuan sighed deeply and said to Fu Shen who was standing below: "Xuanmo, what do you think we should do about this?"
Fu Shen glanced at Zong Zhenglu, who had his head lowered: "At this time, we should also stabilize Princess Ding'an. If we push too hard, we may worry that Huan Yuan will defect to the enemy and betray the country."
"Hahahaha!" Zong Zhengyuan laughed, "Xuanmo, if you knew him, you would definitely not say that. Huan Yuan's late wife died at the hands of a barbarian. I think the reason why this battle cannot be won is
