  "Your Majesty, the prince has realized his mistake and wants to come to you in person to apologize to you." The old master interceded for the prince in court.

  It was only when I went to court that I found out that the prince's younger brother had been reported for robbing a common man, and the emperor was punishing him by banning him from the East Palace for a month.

  "It's good to admit your mistake, but this time he really went too far. We still have to teach him a lesson." The emperor did not relent and still wanted to punish him. The master had no choice but to retreat.

  After going to court, I walked among the ministers, separated from Qin Tingying by a sea of ​​people. I felt his gaze looking towards me, turned away and ignored it.

  "Master Xu, please stay!" Taifu called to me. I stopped and waited for him.

  When they were almost ready to leave, he came forward and said earnestly: "Master Xu, please go back and persuade Xu Siqing not to let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple!"

  "What did you say?" I don't understand. Why? Just got involved with Xu Shen? Could it be that it was Xu Shen who reported it?

  "This matter about the prince was reported to the emperor by Xu Siqing. In fact, the punishment is enough. This matter can be considered a turning point." The prince paused and continued, "But I received the news that Xu Siqing is still here. I want to look into the case file and find out the past affairs of the prince..."

  "Okay, I understand. I will persuade him to stop when I get back." I promised the prince. The master looked at me with relief and patted my shoulder. I nodded at him and turned to leave.

  I went to the Zhongshu Provincial Department to deal with some accumulated documents. It was not until dark that I finished reading the mountains of documents on the case. Today, I did not ride a horse. I only carried a lantern and walked in the street.

  At this time, a man on horseback blocked my way and whistled at me. I looked up and it was Xue Yiyang.

  Xue Yiyang jumped off the horse and approached me: "Jinjin, are you still out at this late hour?"

  "I'll go back right now." I replied to him lukewarmly.

  "No...come back after drinking with me." He came over and wanted to hold my hand.

  I took a step back and said seriously: "Thank you, General Xue, for your kindness. I'm going back."

  "Why are you hiding from me?" He strode forward and hugged me.

  I was hugged tightly by him and couldn't move. I could only stare at him: "General Xue, please respect yourself."

  "Sincerely..." He called my name affectionately, kissed the corner of my mouth, and whispered: "On the day you get married, how about I go and steal the bride?"

  "Snatch the bride?" I chuckled, "Then I'll take the Luoyue Bow given to me by General Xue and wait for you."

  "Do you really like that little lady? ?" He looked into my eyes with an extremely serious expression.

  "What does your sincerity have to do with you, General Xue?" I sneered and drew a clear line with him. Although his face was cold, in my heart I expected that he would get angry, carry me to the tent, and punish me severely.

  "I mean it." He raised his hand to touch my face.

  I reached out and knocked his hand off, and said impatiently: "General Xue, please stop making fun of me. I have other things to do, so I won't waste time with you."

  After that, I pushed him away and walked south quickly.

  Not long ago, I thought he was extremely smart and cooperated well with me. But now, he talks to me sincerely. How can I be sincere? How can there be true love? He just picked up the gun, whined and hesitated, what to do? I was extremely upset.

  I returned home, had a quick meal, and then knocked on Xu Shen's door. His window was bright, so he probably hadn't rested yet.

  He opened the door but didn't let me in. He just stood at the door and asked me: "It's so late, what can I do?"

  "Brother, I want to talk to you about the prince." I got straight to the point.

  After hearing this, he invited me into the room.

  "Brother, please stop and stop checking." I advised.

  "Jinxing, are you going to forgive him now?" He showed an incredible expression.

  "It's not something I don't forgive him for. It won't do you any good to continue the investigation. The prince's party will definitely have dirty hands. What if some people are forced to jump over the wall and plot against you?" I frowned, thinking for him worry.

  "But Jinxing, I can't let him bully you in vain." He stretched out his hand to smooth my frown, but his tone was very firm.

  "Brother, just pretend that what happened that night never happened." I lowered my eyes with a sad expression.

  "Be careful, don't be sad." He couldn't see me like this, so he immediately changed his words: "I won't check."

  "I just hope that we are all well." I hugged him. He hugged me back, caressing my back, silently comforting me.
