Dao Xin lived in Lian Xin for several months and seldom went out for safety reasons.

But he was still a playful child after all. One day, when he heard the deafening sound of gongs and drums coming from outside the street, he couldn't help but want to go and see.

Lin Zhuwei was discussing something with Fu Junyan. Seeing Daoxin constantly looking out, he asked, "Amu, why is the street so busy?"

Amu smiled and said, "There is a merchant family in the street getting married, and they have invited the largest lion dance troupe in the city to perform."

"Sister, can I go and take a look?" Daoxin pleaded with longing in his eyes.

Lin Zhuwei was a little hesitant. His safety was the most important thing at the moment.

Fu Junyan saw her dilemma and said, "Let him go. I'll let Amu follow him. After the last assassination, the emperor was furious and the patrols in the capital are even tighter. If anyone dares to take action now, they will be caught in a trap."

Lin Zhuwei nodded and told Amu: "Keep an eye on him and come back as soon as the performance is over."

"Okay, Madam."

Hearing his address, and Lin Zhuwei not refuting, Fu Junyan's eyes and eyebrows twitched slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Dao Xin was delighted and ran out happily.

Lin Zhuwei then retracted her gaze, glanced at Fu Junyan, and opened her red lips slightly: "Is there any result in the assassination?"

Fu Junyan nodded: "More than 30 bodies were found in the mass grave outside the city."

"Any clues?"

"Those people were killed by having their throats slashed by a sharp sword, and then burned in a fire. We can't find any useful clues for the time being." Fu Junyan said after taking a sip of tea.

Lin Zhuwei was silent for a while, and Fu Junyan couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong?"

She looked at him before telling him about Eunuch Yuan.

"Are you suspecting that those men in black are He Zhilan's men?" Fu Junyao frowned, his tone a little strange.

Lin Zhuwei's heart sank slightly, and she was inexplicably angry: "She is from your Fu family, so you will naturally favor her. But I warn you, if I find out the truth and this matter is related to her, I will not let her off!"

Fu Junyan's tone was a little depressed: "You don't trust me so much? I said, no matter who the other party is, I will definitely seek justice for you."

What's more, the daggers used by the men in black who killed her parents also had sword-shaped patterns engraved on them, exactly the same as the one on Eunuch Yuan's arm.

He Zhilan might really be involved in this matter.

It's just that she has lived in the Fu family since she was a child and grew up with him. Even if there is no romantic relationship between them, there is a sibling relationship. Fu Junyan felt a little sad for a moment.

"Can I trust you?" Lin Zhuwei looked at him inquiringly.

Fu Junyan took out a token from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.

"The emperor has given me some cavalrymen, who are in the military camp inside the city. Show this token, and you can mobilize them to do anything except plotting to usurp the throne, from killing corrupt officials to destroying bandits and thugs." Fu Junyan paused, "including killing me..."

Lin Zhuwei frowned fiercely, she didn't expect that he could do this.

This was his determination to avenge her, and it was never just empty words.

Putting his life in her hands was enough to show how important she was in his heart.

Lin Zhuwei's heart was filled with indescribable emotions. He just stared at the token on the table in a daze, and finally said in a low voice:

"Daoxin... maybe it's her child..."

Fu Junyan was stunned, frowned, looked at her in disbelief, and said with concern: "Do you have any evidence for what you said? If there is no evidence, you must not tell a third person! This is a capital crime!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhuwei finally let go of all her guard and precautions at this moment. He once again conquered her heart and kept breaking into it...

He never blamed her from beginning to end, nor did he question the reliability of her words. He was just worried that her life might be in danger!

Lin Zhuwei decided not to hide it from him anymore.

She took out the half jade pendant from her sleeve pocket and handed it to him: "This was given to me by Dao Xin. He has been wearing it since he was a child. I saved his life by chance, so he insisted on giving it to me as a gift."

"And the other half was found in the secret compartment under her bed..."

Fu Junyan's expression changed several times, and his voice became deeper in the end: "Besides the jade pendant, is there any other evidence?"

"Do you still remember Gu Yunan?"

"Um……"

"Before he died, he admitted that my master's death was related to Daoxin."

Speaking of Master, the hatred in Lin Zhuwei's eyes intensified. "My Master was once the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital. I guess he must have discovered Daoxin's life experience, so he was killed."

Things have come to this point, and Fu Junyan can no longer make excuses for He Zhilan.

"What are you going to do?" Fu Junyan asked.

"I will find a chance to report this to the emperor." Lin Zhuwei looked at him, not hiding the hatred in her eyes. "If the emperor intends to let her go, I will definitely take her life myself!"

However, now is not the right time. She is waiting for someone. If he comes to her after figuring it out, exposing the matter will be a foregone conclusion.

Fu Junyan knew that he couldn't dissuade her, nor should he.

After all, the hatred for one's father's murder is something that no one can let go of lightly.

He just nodded and instructed: "This matter concerns the reputation of the royal family and involves the concubines in the harem. It is extraordinary. If there is no foolproof plan, you must not do it."

Lin Zhuwei looked outside the door and saw a wedding bridge carrying a bride passing by the door. The sounds of gongs and drums were endless, and the atmosphere was filled with a festive atmosphere.

But her heart was growing heavier.

How wonderful it would be if life could always be like the first time we met!

That year, when she saw He Zhilan for the first time, she felt inexplicably happy.

I heard her gentle voice, smiling and calling her: "Sister-in-law, this is the cinnamon lotus soup I cooked myself, try it, is it sweet?"

Later, she thought that if she married Fu Lifeng one day, she, as his sister-in-law, would definitely prepare a generous dowry for her and personally send her off to marry...

But... everything can't go back...

Then Daoxin went out and followed the wedding sedan and the lion dance troupe, jumping up and down excitedly. The bridesmaids in the wedding sedan also scattered wedding candies and copper coins on the street from time to time.

The crowd of onlookers swarmed over and scrambled for the items excitedly, making the street even more lively and crowded.

Amu frowned and stared at Daoxin without blinking.

At this moment, some children in front started pushing and shoving each other for a few pieces of candy. The street was becoming more and more crowded. Amu was blocked and couldn't move. He was so anxious that sweat broke out.

He saw Daoxin jumping and walking along with the wedding sedan, and suddenly he was pushed to the ground by a child. He clenched his fists and really wanted to throw all the children who were clinging to him away with one punch...

Dao Xin was pushed and shoved to the ground, and someone stepped on his hand. He cried in pain.

He endured the pain and tried to get up with red eyes. At this moment, a pair of white hands gently helped him up.

Dao Xin stared over blankly, and fell into a pair of eyes full of tenderness. He saw that the woman had bright eyes, white teeth, curved eyebrows, and was very beautiful.

The woman pulled him into an alley nearby, took off the black hood on her head, stuffed all the wedding candies in her hand into his hands, and pinched his face with a look of pity.

The other two women who were accompanying her were standing on both sides of the alley to prevent anyone from suddenly coming in.

Dao Xin was a little wary at first, but when he saw that she had no ill intentions, he immediately relaxed and asked happily, "Who are you? Why are you so beautiful?"

The woman smiled lightly, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Don't you like the clothes I gave you? Why are you still wearing these small clothes?"

Dao Xin's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly realized what was happening. He exclaimed, "It's you! You gave me all those things?"

The woman smiled softly, put her hand over his mouth, and made a gesture to silence him: "This matter is known to you, me, heaven and earth, but you can't let anyone else know."

Dao Xin was a little excited, but also a little confused: "Who are you to me? Why have I never seen you before?"

The woman said: "Because I can't go out normally, so I can't go to see you. Besides, if they knew you existed, they would not only kill you, but also kill me..."

Daoxin was only six years old. He was frightened by her words and turned pale. He took a few steps back and looked at her with trembling body, but his right hand involuntarily reached into his sleeve pocket.

Inside was a poison he mixed himself, which could kill a hundred people within three steps.

The woman naturally didn't know what he was thinking, so she stepped forward and held him, saying gently: "But I really missed you, so I secretly came out to see you today..."
