Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

After being beaten, He Ke was sent back to his own warm room. He cried and apologized to Nanny Ji, and then fell asleep crying.

Wang Xifeng followed her usual rules and did not leave anyone on duty in her bedroom.

Three more.

Wu Jin, who had been away for a day and a night, had not returned yet.

Wang Xifeng walked to the window and looked outside worriedly.

At this moment, the crow brothers flew over, croaking as they flew.

Oh? !

Wu Jin is back!

Wang Xifeng was overjoyed and quickly opened the window.

Wu Jin leaped from the roof and climbed up the tree. Then he turned around and jumped into the house through the wide-open window.

At first glance, the black cat, which was originally clean, tidy and smooth, was now covered in dirt and mud, and its fur was gray, and it was obvious that it had been in a dirty place.

Ever since she was reborn and raised this cat, has she ever seen it in such a miserable state?

Wang Xifeng felt a little distressed and went up to it and picked it up:

"Where did you go? Did you suffer any harm? Did you go hungry or cold?"

The black cat raised its head, dirty but still proud: "Meow!"

"Okay, it's not important. Then what did Wu Jin say is important?" Wang Xifeng stroked the cat's head with a smile.

Wu Jin raised his head and squinted his eyes in enjoyment, then he meowed softly.

"Royal Palace?" Wang Xifeng's face changed. "Which palace?"

Ugin looked at her quietly.

Wang Xifeng put it down, slowly returned to the bed, sat down, and lowered her head. After a long while, she murmured, "Why hasn't my father written to me in the past three years?"

I don’t know what happened to Qin.

Wugin walked slowly towards her and gently nuzzled her leg.

Jin Ercai stood by and watched with his neck straight, blinking his eyes again and again. Finally, he couldn't help it and spoke, "Don't be afraid, tell the prince tomorrow and let Prince Qin Guang kill him!"

Wang Xifeng smiled broadly: "Okay! If I get a chance tomorrow, I will kill him for sure!"

After praising Wu Jin a few more words, they went to sleep.

The next day, An'er, who was naturally very distressed, gave Wu Jin a bath and prepared delicious food.

Wang Xifeng was shameless enough to ignore the prince's warning the day before and continued to pretend to be sick. The prince immediately sent the imperial physician to come, but when he took her pulse, he found that she actually had symptoms of palpitations and cold.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had nothing to say, and Wang Xifeng was advised by the doctor to "rest in bed" for seven days.

Yi Qiu East Palace was safe again.

Taking advantage of the peaceful time in the East Palace, Xia Shouzhong quietly asked Wang Xifeng for leave to keep an appointment with Chen Duo.

Of the two, Xia Shouzhong was older and entered the palace earlier.

Chen Duo and Han Lue came together. They had been partners in Daming Palace. They also investigated two or three cases, but unfortunately, because they investigated too thoroughly, they offended a favorite concubine at that time and were banished to the East Palace.

The deposed prince was very good at selecting and employing people, and he placed these two people in the Criminal Justice Department.

Although Xia Shouzhong was having a hard time in Neifang at that time, he still had some connections in secret.

Seeing Chen and Han coming in with dusty faces and some inexplicable difficulties, he knew that they were similar to him and had offended powerful people. Out of sympathy for each other, he could not help but secretly give them some care.

After a few interactions, the two became good friends.

Later, the new crown prince took the throne in the East Palace, and Xia Shouzhong became the Neifang Dian Nei, and he also promoted Chen Duo to the position of the Chief of Criminal Justice.

We have been friends for seven or eight years, so Qinghai can’t compare to them.

Seeing that he really came in casual clothes, Chen Duo was very happy. He let him in and actually prepared a table of delicious food and wine. "Since you are accompanying Wang Chenghui in mourning, you probably don't eat much food and wine on weekdays. I specially prepared a few more meat dishes for you to eat vegetarian food."

"Thank you very much." Xia Shouzhong bowed his hands to express his gratitude, sat down and waved his hands with a smile, "Our master Chenghui is a bold and straightforward person, but he observes mourning and eats vegetarian food.

"He specifically told us not to avoid certain foods, and every now and then he gave the small kitchen some money to order some rare dishes for us.

"Don't worry, brother. I haven't suffered any hardship in the past three years. I have only enjoyed peace and happiness."

Chen Duo looked at him and smiled: "I was surprised when I saw you again that night. How come you seem to have gained some weight after eating vegetables and tofu for three years? It turns out that you have found a good master."

The two of them smiled and clinked their glasses, then ate and chatted slowly.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, they both relaxed. Chen Duo then leaned over and asked in a low voice: "The prince said three years, right? Isn't it time for you to come back?"

Xia Shouzhong hesitated slightly.

He had indeed been with Wang Xifeng for more than three years.

But these three years could not be described as being “unmoved by fame or disgrace”. After all, he had already suffered through the so-called adversities and low points in the first half of his life.

As for the word "favor", he saw hope in Wang Chenghui, but he had never truly experienced it.

So, there was a little bit of a desire on his part to not leave.

"How is Lizheng Palace now?" he asked in a low voice.

Chen Duo's face was filled with jealousy for a moment: "Qinghai is the only one in power. He brought out a disciple named Changying, who is even more favored by the prince than he is. The whole door was given to that person named Jingshun, and no one else can get in at all!"

"Look! What am I going to do when I go back like this?" Xia Shouzhong smiled softly, lowering his voice even more, and said, "We are not in a hurry. Let them be proud. Go..."

As he spoke, he quietly pointed his finger in the direction of Daming Palace, "There must be a lot of things to do before we get there...

"But those who have done so many things, nine times out of ten, will not be able to follow there..."

Chen Duo was startled, but then he opened his eyes wide in surprise, even brighter and brighter. He reached out and clasped Xia Shouzhong's wrist tightly: "Brother, no one has ever explained this to me so clearly!"

Xia Shouzhong smiled and patted him, then drank another glass of wine and took a bite of food.

Chen Duo was so excited that he scratched his head and drank two cups of wine. He approached Xia Shouzhong mysteriously and whispered, "Brother, how do you think Zhang Zhu died?"

"Didn't you say that he was scared to death?" Xia Shouzhong paused.

Chen Duo shook his head: "My heart exploded."

Xia Shouzhong's eyes widened: "Was he killed by internal energy?"

"Even the inner strength of the gods is not that powerful." Chen Duo took another sip of wine and whispered, "I can only say that he died suddenly."

Xia Shouzhong fell silent.

"This is a strange thing. Just keep it in mind, brother." Chen Duo lowered his voice a little, almost whispering into Xia Shouzhong's ear, and said,

"They found out that the casinos Zhang and Zhu had visited were all jointly owned by three people."

Xia Shouzhong suddenly raised his hand: "I don't want to know, don't tell me!"

"Brother! You have to understand this!" Chen Duo pulled his hand down, "These people either had a deep hatred for the former deposed prince, or they received great favors from the former deposed prince!

“It would be fine if Zhang Zhu hit one casino like this, but why are all casinos like this?

“Is he going there to gamble or to investigate a case?

"Is he going to fight against the other party, or to contact them and get the mission?!

"Is there only one Zhang Zhu in the East Palace, or are there others?

"Brother, why does Zhang Zhu have a knife and drugs on him? Who is he going after? Don't you really want to know?"
