Seeing this, Baili Feng immediately went around and entered a small alley nearby.

Soon, a woman dressed like a eunuch came in, looking around.

Seeing her, Baili Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you dressed like this?"

Xianyin took off the eunuch's clothes and threw them on the ground, revealing his original plain skirt. She said with a calm look in her eyes, "Of course, I want to meet your old father."

"How is he? How long can he...last?"

"I don't know. I'll just live one day at a time."

"Xianyin, you and I..." Baili Feng paused, and when he saw the familiar face opposite him, his heart ached, "You and I are the only ones in the world who are of the same mind."

We are all people who have lost a loved one.

We are all people who are working for justice.

Xianyin laughed mockingly.

"I have been hiding for many years, hiding my identity, isn't it for this?"

Before the entire family of Prince Jin was beheaded, she managed to escape through a secret passage. In fact, the old emperor knew about it at that time, but for some reason, he did not tie her up and bring her back.

In the past so many years.

She inquired about the news of the unjust case along the way, and would rush to the front at any time if there was any disturbance. Finally, God had mercy on her and she learned the news about the maidservant beside Concubine Rong.

The palace maid was the direct witness who exposed the affair between Concubine Rong and Prince Jin.

It was obvious that she was looked down upon by her family and sold at a low price to serve in the palace. She was only promoted to be the head aunt because of Concubine Rong's appreciation. However, after Concubine Rong got into trouble, all the palace maids in Jing'an Palace were punished, but she was lucky enough to survive.

She also became the wife of Guo Fei, the governor of Yanzhou.

As a woman, Xianyin couldn't intervene in this matter directly, so she asked Lu Huaihe for help.

Baili Feng sighed.

"I hope my father can live to see the truth come out."

It was he who ordered the death of his mother, and it is time for him to clear his name.

This is the knot that Baili Feng must untie.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind digging up the imperial tomb and exposing the corpse to everyone!

Xianyin did not answer, but just looked in the direction of Yanzhou with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

The Jin Palace bears too much infamy.

She can't bear it anymore.

After leaving the capital, the carriage headed south.

In order to avoid revealing his identity, Su He disguised himself as a chubby man, and Pei Xia followed him and became a little follower with pockmarks on his face.

Qingyun looked at the two of them and asked sincerely: "Even if I could meet the master on the road, I don't think he would be willing to recognize me."

"No way, my Lord must be missing Madam very much, he might just pounce on me!"

"My lord, you have a calm temperament and won't do that," Qingyun corrected.

Pei Xia retorted: "When two people in love are together, they don't care about their temperaments. It's best to express their feelings in time!"

"I don't think so. Temperament cannot be changed..."

Su He leaned against the inner wall and took a nap. She heard the two of them talking to each other and couldn't help but imagine the scene of meeting Lu Huaihe again.

When and where will we meet again?

We have arrived at the territory of Yanzhou.

Although this place is not as prosperous as Beijing, it is also one of the best places in the area, and its cultural customs are even more unique and charming.

Qingyun found an inn with the best business to rest, and after a bumpy journey, the few of them finally settled down.

Pei Xia was afraid that Su He would be hungry, so he asked the waiter to serve some food. Qing Yun went out for a walk, actually looking for clues about Lu Huaihe.

Su He stood in front of the window and looked down. The scene of Lu Huaihe's travels emerged in her mind, and her heart ached.

According to reliable sources, he disappeared near Yanzhou. But Yanzhou City is quite large, and looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It was not until midnight that Qingyun came back quietly.

Su He didn't even have time to rest and hurriedly asked him to tell him what he had found out.

"I heard that after the lord investigated the case of the disaster relief silver, he came to Yanzhou to travel, and after getting acquainted with Yanzhou Governor Guo Fei, they got along well. As for his disappearance, no one can explain it."

Su He stared, "He got acquainted with Guo Fei just to find the maidservant beside Concubine Rong. As long as she is there, it will not be difficult to overturn the case. The strange thing is that he went to so many places and investigated so many cases along the way without any problems, but there was no news in Yanzhou. This matter must be related to Guo Fei."

Qingyun also said: "Indeed. I have also heard of something that may be related to state affairs."

"What is it?"

"Guo Jie has returned to the capital."

As soon as he heard that the old emperor might die, he hurried back to Beijing. Doesn't he understand what he was thinking?

"Madam, here is a letter!"

When Pei Xia was packing, he found a letter in his bag. Judging from the handwriting, it seemed to be from the eldest princess.

Su He took it and looked at it, his pupils slightly widened and he was shocked.

original.

Many years ago, the emperor and his ministers enjoyed themselves together at the New Year’s Day banquet.

Guo Jie, who had been guarding the border, was also drunk at the banquet. He had always liked Concubine Rong, who was in great favor at the time, but due to their different status, he could only look at her from afar.

At that time, Empress Guo and Imperial Concubine Rong were at loggerheads, and she was just about to get rid of him, but when she saw the drunk Guo Jie, she had an idea. After all, he was her own brother, so she would not suffer any loss if she kept the good things to herself.

Empress Guo pretended to talk to Concubine Rong and put sleeping incense in her tea. After Concubine Rong fainted after taking it, she called the drunk Guo Jie and locked him in the palace, and she personally guarded outside the palace door.

The two people who had lost consciousness naturally had physical contact.

Afterwards, Guo Jie fled the scene. Empress Guo used the excuse that the crown prince was questioning her to take the drunken Prince of Jin to a corner. After he was knocked unconscious, he was carried to Jing'an Palace, where his clothes were taken off and he was placed on Concubine Rong's bed.

Then the palace maid called the emperor, who was furious and executed Concubine Rong and the entire family of Prince Jin.

Empress Guo killed two birds with one stone. Not only did she cause the death of Concubine Rong, but she also caused the Second Prince, who was highly regarded by the Emperor, to become decadent and unloved.

After reading line by line, Su He felt uneasy for a long time.

So this is why the eldest princess doesn't like Queen Guo?

So many years have passed, the body has long been frozen, but the case has never been solved.

The eldest princess alone would be powerless to change anything even if she knew the truth.

But he wrote the truth in the letter and told her?

Su He suddenly understood.

She didn't give it to herself, but to Lu Huaihe.

If there is a glimmer of hope, the case will naturally be solved. Otherwise, it will all be sunk.

Su He lowered his eyes, put away the letter, and stayed awake all night.

The next day.

Su He was still dressed as usual. Fortunately, she was still in the early stages of her pregnancy and her belly was not too obvious, so no one could tell anything.

"Madam, do you want to go out for a walk today?"

"Well, go out and take a look."

Yanzhou Water Town is unique.

It's winter weather, with a biting cold wind.

Su He and Pei Xia walked slowly on the street, Qingyun followed behind them.

After a walk around, everything he saw and heard was very interesting, but Su He could not muster up any interest.

Qingyun was afraid that she couldn't handle it, so he found a tavern and they sat down to rest.
