Outside the Taifu Mansion.

In a teahouse on the street, Sultan looked intently towards the Taifu Mansion. Just now, he wanted to have someone pretend to be someone from the Zhennan Palace to send a letter to Sun Youwei and trick her out of the mansion.

But at this moment, he saw a little maid delivering snacks in front of the Taifu Mansion. She had been stopped by the guards and interrogated for a long time. It was obvious that Sun Youwei was once bitten by a snake and became afraid of ropes for ten years.

After much deliberation, the Sultan gave up the idea of ​​sending a letter to Sun Youwei in the name of the Crown Prince's Consort, so as to avoid backfiring and alerting the enemy.

"Well, I'll just write her a letter in my own name and see how she reacts."

Having made up his mind, the Sultan asked the teahouse owner for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter.

In the backyard of Taifu Mansion, there is a small bridge and flowing water.

Sun Youwei wore light makeup today, and her eyes and eyebrows were very gentle. Compared to her haggard appearance in the past two days, she looked much more energetic today, and her anxiety was much less.

Sun Youwei dipped her finger in the tea and wrote Su Xuqing's name on the table.

She held her cheek with one hand and smiled slightly. She knew that she was able to get rid of the shadow brought by the Sudan so quickly, thanks to Su Xuqing's company and advice.

Sun Youwei's eyes shifted to the left. The two words "Liang Heng" she had written earlier had dried up, but she didn't feel sorry about it. Instead, she liked the three words "Su Xuqing" she had just written even more.

Looking outside the courtyard, Sun Youwei was wondering if Sister Su would come to accompany her today.

Just when Sun Youwei was in a daze, the doorman came in from outside and handed a letter to Sun Youwei.

"Miss, your letter."

Sun Youwei came to her senses, took the letter, and found that there was no signature on the envelope.

"Who sent this?"

The concierge quickly replied, "It was brought by a child, who said that a friend of the young lady had asked him to deliver a letter."

Sun Youwei looked at the blank envelope, her heart tightened slightly, and then she said slowly: "I know, you can go down."

After the doorman left, Sun Youwei tore open the envelope and her pretty face suddenly tensed.

The letter was indeed from the Sultan.

Sun Youwei's black eyes moved left and right as she read the Sultan's letter at a glance. In the letter, he first expressed his apology and told Sun Youwei that he regretted the past few days very much. Now he wanted to meet with Sun Youwei at the pavilion in the center of the West Lake to resolve the conflict between them.

Sun Youwei read the letter without much expression on her face. She tapped her fingers lightly on the table, as if thinking about something.

After a while, Sun Youwei stood up, returned to her room, wrote a reply letter, and sent it to the West Lake.

By the West Lake, the willows have turned yellow, but the pedestrians coming and going are still as numerous as in spring and summer. The sunlight sparkles on the sparkling lake, and the scenery is pleasant.

The Sultan was wearing casual clothes today. He had shaved his beard and was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, making faces and trying to look honest.

A boat was moving slowly on the lake, and someone was going down to the steps outside the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"But Commander Su?"

The Sultan looked up at the little maid outside the pavilion with a frown on his face.

"Who are you?"

The maid placed the letter on the table and bowed. "My mistress asked me to deliver a letter to Commander Su. The letter has been delivered. Bye."

The maid followed Sun Youwei's instructions without saying anything, put down the letter and turned to leave.

The Sultan roughly tore open the envelope, unfolded the letter, looked at it, and his face suddenly fell.

In order to meet Sun Youwei today, Sudan expressed her remorse in the letter and chose a crowded place to meet in order to lower Sun Youwei's vigilance, but she didn't expect that Sun Youwei didn't want to see her at all.

In the letter, Sun Youwei told Sudan that since he had repented, he should behave himself in the future and they would never have any contact with each other again.

"Never see each other again? Dream on! I'm going to get you!"

Sudan sneered and stood up. He left the pavilion in the middle of the lake and returned to the shore, intending to go to Sun Youwei in person. If he didn't see her, he would threaten her with her reputation. Anyway, this was what she feared the most, and Sudan didn't believe that she could continue to hide!

The Sultan rode his horse to the outside of the Sun Mansion. After he stated his identity and purpose, the gatekeeper bowed and said, "Commander Su, you came at an unfortunate time. My young lady has gone out to pray for blessings just now. I'm afraid she won't be back for a while."

"Pray for blessings?"

The Sultan's eyes lit up with joy. There were no temples or Taoist temples in the imperial city. To burn incense and pray for blessings, one could only go to the temples outside the city.

Sun Youwei's leaving the city now is a godsend for him!

"May I ask which temple Miss Sun went to pray for blessings?"

The concierge looked suspicious and said slowly, "Why do you ask this, Commander Su?"

The Sultan smiled kindly, "It's nothing. I also want to pray recently, but I don't know which temple is more effective, so I asked for reference."

"I see."

The doorman groaned for a moment, then slowly said, "Just now I seemed to hear the young lady say that she was going to the Daoming Temple in the east of the city. It is very popular there, and it is said that the Bodhisattva is also very effective."

"Haha, thank you for letting me know."

After finding out where Sun Youwei had gone, the Sultan could not wait any longer and galloped towards the east of the city.

At the same time, Su Xuqing came out of the Ministry of Justice. She had already told Shen Xuanheng about the matter of the pharmacy and Jingji Prefecture, and the subsequent handling of the matter was entirely up to him.

It was just past noon when Shen Xuanheng sent her to the door.

Su Xuqing stood in front of the carriage and waved, "Husband, I'll leave first."

Shen Xuanheng nodded gently, "Go ahead, I will handle the matter you mentioned properly."

As there were bailiffs on duty at the entrance of the Criminal Department, the two of them were not allowed to have any intimate expressions or actions, so they spoke in an awkward manner that looked a little unnatural.

But the reluctant look in their eyes when they parted was almost tearing.

The sound of horse hooves clattered as the carriage moved farther and farther away.

"Madam, where are we going next?" Li Er asked outside the carriage.

"Go to Sun's Mansion."

"okay."

Li Er responded, then shook the reins and turned the dock towards Sun's residence.

Xu Sandao, who was following Su Xuqing's carriage from a distance, became anxious when he saw her carriage heading towards the Sun Mansion.

At this moment, Xu Sandao didn't know whether Sudan's business had been completed or not. He was afraid that Su Xuqing would come to the Sun Mansion and ruin Sudan's plan.

Xu Sandao couldn't think of any reason to delay Su Xuqing, but thinking of Sudan's entrustment, he could only bite the bullet and go forward.

Just when Xu Sandao was hesitating whether to create some commotion to capture Su Xuqing, he suddenly saw a familiar figure riding a horse towards him.

"Drive! Drive!"

Sultan galloped forward and met Xu Sandao. Xu Sandao breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly, "How is it? How is it going?"

Pulling the reins, the Sultan smiled triumphantly.

"It's a God-given opportunity. I will definitely defeat Miss Sun today. I'm going to the east of the city now. You keep an eye on the Crown Princess for me. Don't let her ruin my plans."
