The night passed quickly.

Zixi had no time to think about the man in red again. The prince's mansion still looked calm, but the outside of the prince's mansion had turned over.

It was only half a month since King Ning died last time, and the palace was once again in chaos.

The news that the only legitimate son of the Haijun Wang family was killed alarmed the civil and military officials in the court, causing panic in the court.

Before the death of King Ning was over, another person was killed, and he was the son of an important official in the court.

The emperor Thunder Ting was furious and ordered the Jinyiwei to investigate thoroughly. If the truth could not be found out, he would be afraid that a group of incompetent people would be killed.

In addition to civil and military ministers, the legitimate sons of the Kyoto official family were also a little scared, afraid that this bad news would be their turn—

Before finding out the truth, no one knew why King Ning and Prince Xiao died. They were not even sure whether the murderer who killed these two people was the same person.

Among them, the most frightened were Su Yu and Xiao Xueqing.

Xiao Xueqing is Xiao Lingyi's sister. Her pain and fear are no less than her parents for the sudden death of her brother. However, in addition to pain, some unknown guess has occupied her entire mind, making her frightened.

Su Yu thought more.

He thought that King Ning was a romantic man. Although the cause of his death was unknown, he heard that he had been to the Qing County Prince's Mansion before his death. With his romantic and lustful style, if he saw Zixi, he would not be indifferent.

He thought of Feng Guojiu - Feng Minzhi, who is still lying in bed and enduring severe pain and torture, was also because he got Zixi, so he learned such a tragic lesson.

Now it's Xiao Lingyi's turn again...

Although there is no evidence, two people died and one injured, and they all offended Zixi. Such a coincidence made Su Yu unable to help but think of Zixi.

Death has always been the most terrifying, especially for the legitimate son of a wealthy family, he did not even dare to tell his judgment on the cause of Xiao Lingyi's death in front of his father.

If my father goes to tell the emperor, if Emperor Xuan Zixi or Chu Chen asks for guilt, if the matter is finally vented on him...

He didn't want to cause trouble. Although he knew that if he could help solve the case, he would have made a contribution in front of the emperor, he would not dare to gamble.

How can life be important when wealth and honor?

And, what if you make a mistake in your own judgment?

Su Yu spent the whole day in panic. The palace was like the depression before the storm came, which made people feel terrified.

From the inner palace to the inner city where the powerful people gathered in the imperial city are filled with an uneasy atmosphere.

However, these have nothing to do with Chu Chen and Zixi.

I thought about it all night and didn't sleep. Chu Chen looked calm and looked nothing unusual.

Hearing the door open, he raised his head, Zixi walked in with a basin of water and smiled at him: "Get up, exercise your body, and then have breakfast."

Chu Chen nodded and got off the bed and put on his shoes. Only then did he feel his neck aches. Sitting on the bed all night made his body a little stiff and stagnant.

Zixi turned around and put the basin on the basin rack, took a towel and soaked it in the basin. He stood up straight, and before he could turn around, he was encircled into a slightly cool embrace.

The boy wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, put his chin on her shoulders, and his voice was hoarse: "Zixi."

This is the first time for Chu Chen to do this. With a little careful temptation, if he notices that Zi Xi is unhappy, he will immediately let go and never be arrogant anymore.
