The next morning, sunlight poured in from the window, and the desk in the study was covered with paper and pens, which were dyed a light golden color by the sunlight.

Shen Xuanheng bent over the desk, writing a memorial.

Xu Younian is a second-rank minister of the court and must give an explanation to the emperor, but he cannot tell the emperor the whole truth. Firstly, one of the witnesses, the ghost doctor Zhao Qiankun, is dead, and Xue Tao also wants to escape and start a new life, so Xu Younian's plan to kill Su Xuqing can no longer be confirmed, so it is better not to tell him.

Secondly, the two people who died in the woods yesterday have made Shen Xuanheng suspicious. Xu Younian probably has other helpers. He doesn't want to alert the enemy before the matter is investigated clearly.

Seeing Shen Xuanheng writing furiously, Su Xuqing tiptoed to his side, added water and ground the paper, and added fragrance with her red sleeves.

Smelling the familiar body fragrance, Shen Xuanheng glanced sideways, and asked with a smile in his dark eyes: "Madam, can my father's illness really be cured?"

Su Xuqing smiled and said slowly: "It was not possible before, but now I have the complete "Shennong Herbal Classic". I will definitely be able to cure you in time."

Shen Xuanheng smiled slightly and made a bold decision in his heart.

"But husband, there is something I want to confirm with you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Su Xuqing frowned, looking worried, "My husband, although you said you were free and weak, you were actually poisoned. The poison is called Huangquan Powder, and your Pecking Bird Meridian was caused by it. My husband, do you have any enemies?"

Shen Xuanheng was not surprised at all when he heard this. Instead, he said meaningfully, "No, my husband has been weak since childhood and has never been poisoned. Whether it is necessary to say this internally or externally."

"What does this mean?"

Su Xuqing looked puzzled. Wasn't this just deceiving herself and others?

Shen Xuanheng looked far away and sneered, "There are barbarians on the southern border of Daliang, and there have been disputes for decades. Father has been in the army for decades, stabilizing the border and controlling half of the troops. His prestige in the army is unmatched. Do you know what this means?"

Su Xuqing's pretty face changed slightly, and she blurted out four words, "Your achievements are so great that they shock the master."

"good."

Shen Xuanheng continued, "For His Majesty, the border is certainly important, but the majestic imperial power is also very important. Even if the Zhennan Palace has made contributions to the country, it cannot have the capital to rebel at will."

As he spoke, Shen Xuanheng looked at the memorial in front of him, staring at the four large characters "Your Majesty's Personal Letter" on the cover and said, "The Zhennan Palace used to be very prosperous, but to this day, only my two sisters and I are alive. Is this an accident?"

Hearing this, Su Xuqing felt a chill all over her body and asked in surprise, "Could it be the Emperor..."

Shen Xuanheng shook his head. "The emperor is kind and benevolent. Even if he is afraid of the Zhennan Palace, he would not do this. However, there are always some powerful officials in the court who want to purge the emperor and relieve his worries. This matter is most likely done by them, but I don't know who it is."

Su Xuqing was worried when she heard this, but then she felt something was wrong.

"Since the people in the court are trying to purge the emperor, why do they only attack you and not Shen Chejin?"

Hearing this question, Shen Xuanheng couldn't help but laugh and asked back: "What do you think of Shen Chejin?"

"You are despicable, a bully, and a coward."

Su Xuqing spoke her mind without hesitation.

"Then, if this is the person who inherits the Zhennan Palace, will the Zhennan Palace still be a threat to the people in the court?"

Su Xuqing gritted her teeth. If the Zhennan Palace really fell into Shen Chejin's hands, it would probably wither away in no time...

and many more!

Su Xuqing suddenly had an idea in her mind and remembered one thing. After Shen Xuanheng died in her previous life, Shen Chejin inherited the title of Prince Zhennan's Mansion and soon surrendered to the Third Prince and became his running dog.

Is there a possibility that the Third Prince was the one who secretly brought down the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion?

On the one hand, he can dilute the military power of the palace and resolve the royal family's fear of Prince Zhen'an's excessive achievements; on the other hand, he can use the reputation left by Prince Zhennan in the army to let Shen Chejin help him seize the throne?

Su Xuqing remembered that before her death, the two princes in the capital fought each other to the point of bloodshed in order to seize the throne.

But how can I tell my husband about this?

Should I tell him that I am a reborn person? Will he think I am crazy?

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xuqing was about to speak.

"Husband, I..."

Rumble!

The originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy and windy, with thunder roaring and dark red lightning flashing across the sky.

Su Xuqing suddenly felt goose bumps all over her body. She raised her head and looked outside. In the dark clouded sky, it seemed as if there was an eye representing the mighty power of heaven staring at her, as if it wanted to devour someone.

Gudong.

Su Xuqing swallowed and chose to shut up.

Shen Xuanheng looked out the window and frowned, "How can the weather change so suddenly?"

As he spoke, Shen Xuanheng looked at Su Xuqing, and rubbed her cheek with his hands more gently.

"Okay, remember what I just said, and don't tell anyone else. After all, these are just my guesses, and I don't have any real evidence. If it gets out, people will gossip about me. And you still have to tell others that I'm not going to live long."

Su Xuqing rubbed her face against his palm, then said obediently: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Okay, you stay at home and rest. Your husband will go to the palace."

Shen Xuanheng put the memorial in his arms, then took out an oil-paper umbrella from behind the door and left the room in the drizzling summer rain.

In the small courtyard, peach blossoms were knocked down by the rain. Shen Xuanheng, dressed in white, walked briskly, holding an oil-paper umbrella, passing through the peach blossom rain. It was a stunning sight.

Su Xuqing wrinkled her nose and said proudly.

"This boy is so handsome."

The summer rain came suddenly and got heavier and heavier.

In the backyard of the Sun Mansion, under the eaves of a quiet attic, Sun Youwei stood leaning against the railing, biting her thin lips lightly, her eyes determined.

"Dad, I've decided to run a chamber of commerce in the capital."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sigh came from behind her.

The forty-year-old Sun Taifu had a kind and gentle face. He walked slowly to her side and said calmly, "Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest class. As a child of a noble family, you will definitely be criticized if you do business."

Sun Youwei smiled indifferently, "The cold eyes of the world have nothing to do with me. I just want to repay Pavilion Master Liang's kindness."

Hearing his daughter mention Liang Heng, Tutor Sun felt a little headache, because this man saved his life in his early years. His daughter had a deep impression of this man in her heart and wanted to marry him wholeheartedly.

Tutor Sun did not stop him. After all, if it weren't for Liang Heng, all his family would have died.

But Master Sun never expected that Liang Heng was so unromantic. Even when his beautiful daughter came to him to offer herself to him, this man was unwilling to accept her.
