Chapter fifty-five

"Liu Ding, did you really misread that day?"

Facing Hongwei's inquiry, Liu Ding hurriedly said, "It's true! The little one caused trouble for Lord Hongwei, it's the little one who deserved to die. That day, the little one did not see the other party showing his face. If he just thought he was the princess with a faint fragrance, it was a little one who had no reason to guess."

"I have never heard of the Crown Princess who have learned medical theory. How could she know how to use poison? The young man has only heard of the Crown Princess who is extremely strong and has a very talented warrior. He has reached the seventh-grade Martial King at a young age. If he were not a daughter, he would probably have followed Duke Ding to lead the battlefield."

Liu Ding was talking seriously, and his heart was also feeling guilty.

Hongwei frowned, and what Liu Ding said sounded very reasonable.

Suan breathed a sigh of relief, Hongwei said, "You are still healed in your injuries and are in poor condition. You and your brothers don't need to help you and your brothers. Take a few days to recuperate."

"grown ups!"

Liu Ding wanted to say something, but Hongwei turned around and left.

As soon as Hongwei left, Liu Ding immediately wrote a letter behind him to Tang Yan, the Duke of Ding, who had what happened today.

Qi Yan and Ye Chen set out from Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing and headed to the capital. On the way, they met Tang Yan who came to deliver the letter.

Liu Ding's letter made Qi Yan know about the Rui Mansion.

"Is Baihe not killed by King Rui? Who can it be?"

Qi Yan blinked her eyes, unable to understand the development of things.

Ye Chen gave an analysis, "Bai He is alive, which is of great benefit to King Rui. Even if King Rui wants to silence him, he will not be so anxious and will do it."

"really."

Qi Yan knew it, "I think it was done by someone around King Rui. If you have the opportunity to poison Baihe without knowing it, under King Rui's nose. In King Rui's mansion, there are only people who meet the conditions..."

"Min Lan!"

Ye Chen and Qi Yan said in unison.

Qi Yan looked at Ye Chen in surprise, "Aren't you surprised?"

Ye Chen responded indifferently, "How can we underestimate the granddaughter whom Master Min is proud of?"

After Qi Yan attended the flower viewing banquet in the Wei Mansion that day, after he learned about the role Min Lan played in it, he asked Butler Cao to send all the albums, books and other things that Min Lan had sent back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion without losing any of them.

He also asked Mr. Cao to tell Master Min that from then on, there was no green plum between Ye Chen and Min Lan, and there was only a strange road.

As for what Master Min thought, Ye Chen didn't care.

Bai He's death is indeed beneficial to Ye Chen.

But Min Lan is already Princess Rui. She doesn't stand on the same line as Prince Rui, but she has to drag King Rui back. Such actions are really speechless.

After the carriage entered the city, Qi Yan and Ye Chen returned to the Duke of Dingguo Mansion first.

I happened to meet the words "Shunde" beside Emperor Yan, who came to give me the imperial gift. Mr. Qi immediately asked someone to put the words in the study and hang them.

I drank some more wine in the evening and learned about Qi Run's situation with Qi Yan. I was so happy that I couldn't stop myself and I slept happily.

...

As night falls, the Ministry of Justice prison.

After Jin He was taken away, he was detained here.

In the dim prison, Jin He knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and looked confused.

What went wrong!

Why are your whereabouts and motivations exposed?

Jin He couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure it out.

Jin He in the prison looked desperate. When she was puzzled, the prison door that was guarding was opened and a man in black walked in.

"Jinhe."

Hearing Si Nanjian's voice, Jin He trembled all over, "Why do you have to come here? If you come here, once people discover the relationship between you and me, it will only implicate you."

"If you were arrested in prison, wouldn't I betrayal if I didn't come!"

Si Nanjian looked at the hazy Jin He and felt very distressed, "Don't move, I'll break the door and save you!"

"Sinan Sword!"

Jin He stopped him, "Don't be confused, okay? I killed Weifeng."

After hearing her words, Si Nanjian was frozen on the spot, feeling a little disbelief.

What did she just say?

She killed Wei Feng!

Si Nanjian looked at Jin He blankly. Jin He knew that if she didn't explain it clearly, he would only do more stupid things. "That day, King Rui got married, Wei Feng teased me after drinking, and I told him that the person I like was you. Wei Feng had known my intentions for a long time, so he told me that he had arranged for the killer to take your life, and I could only poison him for you."

Si Nanjian is the general of Zhenbei, and he is not a person who only has a crush on his children.

He also heard about Wei Feng and Jin He, but he always chose to believe Jin He. But what Jin He said now failed to resolve the doubts in Si Nanjian's heart.

Si Nanjian stood outside the prison door and suddenly spoke, "How could you carry poison with you?"

"I……"

Jin He was stunned when he asked this.

Si Nanjian then asked, "You are the female official next to Concubine Wei De. You carry poison with you just to kill Wei Feng outside the palace?"

"How can I believe what you said?"

"Jinhe, you didn't tell me the truth. You still have something to hide from me!"

"The poison you carry with you is not prepared for Weifeng at all. So who is your target?"

Jin He was silent. She was a spy baling.

This is the Ministry of Justice Prison. She cannot reveal her true identity to Si Nanjian! There are ears in the wall. Once she says it, she will put Si Nanjian in a dangerous situation. He will be thoroughly investigated by the Ministry of Justice. In the end, his position as the general of the North Town will be dismissed and investigated, and his life will be difficult to protect!

She is already in prison and has no way to live, so why bother to drag him to die together?

Si Nanjian waited for a while, but still couldn't wait for Jin He's answer.

Si Nanjian's eyes were sad and said in a trembling voice: "Jin He, this is the Ministry of Justice Prison. No one who comes in can go out alive! You are not the exception of the Crown Princess, so you can only wait for death! Why are you still unwilling to tell the truth to me? Don't you love me?"

"You are the noble General Zhenbei. Although I am the female official next to Concubine Wei De, I still cannot change my identity as a humble palace maid. I can't stand it. Let's go, just pretend that you and I have never known each other, and have no affection, and will never meet again in this life!"

Jin He turned his head and no longer looked at Si Nanjian.

Seeing her like this, Si Nanjian knew that she had made a choice. No matter what he said, he could not change her decision. He could only turn around and leave the prison in silence.

Originally, he had made plans to take her away from the Yanjing city and retire to the mountains and forests. He had never cared about fame and fortune. He cared about her better than anything else, but today he realized that she didn't care about him.

Even if she knew that she was facing a dead end, she didn't care about him and didn't want to tell the truth to him.
