Each matter should be discussed separately. Xia Hong does not like to make a big deal out of it, but since the matter has come before Xia Hong, after punishing the people who should be punished, Xia Hong should also give an explanation.

"Xun Lan, you are guilty of questioning the imperial officials without any investigation."

"Xun Xiang is the backbone of the Great Xia Dynasty. You are Xun Xiang's legitimate son. I allow you to work with the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate that Yuanwailang, return justice to the people, and atone for his crime."

The final decision was made. After Xun Lan and Han Shu left, Eunuch Lin rushed back from outside the palace and whispered in Xia Hong's ear, "Your Highness, Prince Mo has met the head master."

Xia Hong would be less angry whenever he heard Shen Jinmo's name: "Xiao Linzi, look around, is there anyone in the court who can do things that please me better than him?"

Eunuch Lin also agreed with a smile, and felt that Shen Jinmo was indeed doing things properly: "The people you picked yourself are naturally not comparable to others."

As the setting sun shone down, Xun Lan and Han Shu walked out of the palace side by side.

"Master Xun seems to be in a good mood?"

Today's result is really not good, and what we have done are only temporary solutions and not the fundamental solution.

So Han Shu didn't understand Xun Lan's good mood at this time.

"Of course." Xun Lan bowed his head slightly and explained softly, "All is fair in war. Everything is a game. Hiding the chips and advancing and retreating may seem like a loss, but in fact, the goal has been achieved."

"Lord Xun wanted to protect the lives of these three hundred people from the beginning?"

"Yes." Xun Lan replied briefly, with sufficient self-awareness: "Even if I borrow the power of the gods and Buddhas, the old illness cannot be cured in one day."

Han Shuwei thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Master Xun's words make sense. How did you know that the head of the family would immediately plead guilty?"

If the big boss had not bowed his head first today, Xun Lan, who had touched Xia Hong's reverse scale, would have been punished with a beating at best, or even have his future career hindered at worst.

"Xun is ready to be beaten today." Xun Lan smiled and shook his head, saying calmly, "Now my preparations are in vain."

Han Shu turned her head to glance at Xun Lan, smiled too, and said nothing more.

The golden light from the setting sun became more and more dazzling, and the shadows of the two people became longer and longer, overlapping on the blue bricks and then separating on the blue bricks.

Chen Luo rode in a carriage from Duke Chen's Mansion to Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion. Looking at the sign of Princess Pingnan's Mansion, she seemed to suddenly remember something of interest.

"Aru, is everyone in the Duke's Mansion saying that Xie Nanxing has a man?"

Although she didn't understand the joy in Chen Luo's eyes, Ah Ru still chose to answer truthfully: "Someone is spreading it, but I don't know whether it's true or not."

Chen Luo stopped the carriage and led a group of servants to Xiangzhu Courtyard: "Then let's go and ask him. If they falsely accuse Xie Nanxing, I will tear their mouths apart."

Seeing Chen Luo's hateful look, Ah Ru asked with confused eyes, "What if it is true?"

After a pause, Chen Luo smiled ostentatiously: "Then this princess respects him as a man."

……

Autumn in Luoan passed in a flash. The autumn robe that Shen Jinmo ordered for Xie Nanxing was only worn twice before being put into the closet. Winter had already arrived that day.

The first snow of winter in Luoan has not yet fallen, but the weather is already so cold that everyone needs to wrap themselves in cotton clothes and hold a hot water bottle.

Xie Nanxing had an easier winter this year than last year. The floor heating in the house never stopped burning, so he didn't feel cold at all as long as he returned to the house.

As Xie Nanxing finished writing the big characters and returned to the main room with the hot water bottle, he heard a very familiar voice.

"Xie Nanxing, I'm here to play with you."

When I walked out of the house, I found that it was Chen Luo.

Without even putting on his cloak, Xie Nanxing took a few steps to greet him, bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess."

This was the first time that guests came to Xiangzhuyuan. Even though Han Zhou and Xie Nanxing were so close, they did not dare to visit Xiangzhuyuan.

Xie Nanxing was very happy that there were guests coming to Xiangzhuyuan.

This change shows that Shen Jinmo's freedom in Luoan City is increasing.

Shen Jinmo has more choices and escape routes.

Chen Luo left the servants behind her outside the courtyard. After looking around, she leaned over to Xie Nanxing and asked in a low voice, "I heard that you picked up a man and brought him home?"

Xie Nanxing's eyes widened in surprise.

He did this very low-key, so how did it get to Chen Luo's ears?

Could it be that the news has spread all over Luoan City now?

Then where should Shen Jinmo put his face?

Xie Nanxing's appearance confirmed Chen Luo's thoughts, and her bright almond eyes were filled with admiration for Xie Nanxing.

"Xie Nanxing, you are amazing. You dare to do such a thing under Shen Wangheng's nose."

"Xie Nanxing, don't be stingy, take me to see." Chen Luo was determined to see what kind of person this person was who had caused Xie Nanxing to take such a risk.

Seeing that Xie Nanxing didn't move, Chen Luo pushed Xie Nanxing forward.

"Princess, he is really not the man I raised." Xie Nanxing realized that this misunderstanding was too big and he had to explain it clearly.

"I felt sorry for him so I rescued him. If he is willing, I will give him a job that can support himself."

"If he doesn't want to, I'll let him go."

Chen Luo didn't listen to what Xie Nanxing said at all, nor was she interested in Xie Nanxing's subsequent arrangements. She was just curious about what ability this man had that could make Xie Nanxing willing to take such a risk to stay.

The door of the wing room was pushed open by Xiao Gao. Xie Nanxing raised his hand and pointed at the man on the bed: "The wounds on his body have been coming back again and again. Now he is just hanging on for dear life. I wonder how long he can live?"

So it really wasn't what Chen Luo thought: "Princess, you saw it today. You must clear Shen Jinmo's name after you leave the house."

A man with a green patch on his head will be looked down upon.

Chen Luo walked towards the bed, raised her hand and first stroked the man's forehead, then touched the man's cheek, and finally touched the man's arm.

Xie Nanxing was so scared when he saw Chen Luo making such moves that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Even though Xia Che has no real power, Xie Nanxing cannot afford to offend him.

If this were to get out, Xie Nanxing felt that he would be assassinated.

"Princess, how about you restrain yourself a little?"

"Although he looks gentle and handsome, he is not as good as you." Chen Luo, who had touched him enough, turned away in disappointment: "Xie Nanxing, in fact, you might as well touch yourself instead of him."

Shen Jinmo, who had just returned from work and was waiting at the door with Xie Nanxing's cloak, had no intention of going in. But after hearing Chen Luo's increasingly incoherent words, he pushed the door open and looked at Chen Luo with a warning look.

There are few people in Luoan who have pure intentions. Each of them wants to lead Xie Nanxing astray.
