King Ning left this sentence, waved his sleeves and left, his voice was not loud, Liu Xiaoran could only vaguely hear what he said but could not hear clearly, when she walked forward, she found Su Mu was stunnedIn situ.

The other party lowered his eyes and couldn't see his expression clearly, and didn't move at all, Liu Xiaoran thought for a moment, then called out softly.

"Su Yuzhi."

"Huh?" Su Mu suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head and saw Liu Xiaoran's worried eyes, and was taken aback for a moment.

"Why don't you leave?" Liu Xiaoran frowned, even though Su Mu had quickly adjusted her expression, the confusion in her eyes still couldn't completely fade away.

"I... I don't have an official position, so I won't be with you." Su Mu forced a smile, retracted his somewhat cold right hand into his sleeve and clenched it tightly.A few small crescents, this faint pain seems to be able to bring him back to this world from the endless darkness.

Liu Xiaoran was still a little worried, and when she was about to ask, Du Han stepped forward and said in a rough voice: "Don't keep King Ning waiting, go to the door first."

Su Mu also nodded along with the trend, Liu Xiaoran also knew that Su Mu had never been very honest about her affairs, and she couldn't ask the result for a while, so she gave up for now.

Before he left, he was still a little worried, and when he looked back, he saw Su Mu lowered his head again, wondering what he was thinking.

When the voices of the people around him faded away, Su Mu was stunned for a while, and it was not until Mo Shu gently tugged on his sleeve that he came back to his senses.

"It's okay." He said weakly, "Let's go."

He pulled himself together and went to see Ruan Qing's condition. The little girl's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Fortunately, Bai Zhi had returned and was carefully applying ice packs to her.

Seeing that she was already settled, Su Mu felt relieved and went back to the room to be alone.

It wasn't until Lu Lingjue knocked on his door screaming hungry that he was dragged out of all kinds of wild thoughts.

"Yu-zhi-yuzhi! Yu Zhiyuyuyuzhi!"

After regular knocking on the door, Su Mu opened the door with a face of helplessness: "I heard it, I heard it with both ears!"

Seeing him open the door, Lu Lingjue exaggeratedly let out a sigh of relief, coughed twice, and said: "My lord asked me to come and ask you to go out for dinner, and what I said was true! I must - I must call you out!"

He patted his chest and whispered as if talking to himself: "It was the last time the adults gave me such an order."

Su Mu was amused by these words and felt better, but he was also a little puzzled, and asked, "Why do you want to go out to eat today instead of staying in the government office?"

Lu Lingjue suddenly showed a bright smile, and hooked Su Mu's shoulder with a smile: "Yu Zhi, you haven't gone out for the past few days, you probably don't know, Jiangzhou City has recovered a lot, today even the most famous houseAll the restaurants are open again to welcome customers!"

"My lord said that everyone is too tired these days, so please go out and have a good meal!" He stretched out his hand to take Su Mu out, while continuing to babble, "You have been staying in the government office for a few days, and you have been bored.It's not good, let's go out and relax! What's more, this is a treat that the adults personally said, so you can wait until tomorrow if you take advantage of it?"

Maybe it was infected by the joy on Lu Lingjue's eyebrows, and Su Mu also became a little interested. As soon as they walked to the door, they saw Liu Xiaoran standing outside the door.

"My lord! We are here! Let's go, let's go! I'm starving to death!" Lu Lingjue yelled and stepped forward, taking the lead.

"You just bought some snacks an hour ago." Liu Xiaoran said, "You only have three hours a day?"

Lu Lingjue paused, laughed twice, shook his head pretending not to hear, and then continued to walk forward happily.

In Jiangzhou City, as Lu Lingjue said, many shops have reopened. Su Mu looked around while walking, and his mood, which had already improved a lot, fell to the bottom because of the sudden whiteness in front of him.

Liu Xiaoran felt that the people beside her stopped suddenly, and when she turned her head slightly, she saw Su Mu staring at a house not far away with a white banner hanging in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

He took half a step back to stand with Su Mu and asked.

"Liu Shaoqing, have many people died of the epidemic in Jiangzhou City?" Su Mu narrowed his eyes and turned his head to ask.

Liu Xiaoran frowned slightly, and Su Mu's eyes were full of expressions that he couldn't see clearly, which was very different from his usual appearance.

"I don't know." Liu Xiaoran replied looking straight at him.

Su Mu's eyes dimmed for a moment, and the next moment his right arm was lightly pinched. He raised his eyes in surprise, and saw Liu Xiaoran continue to say very seriously: "But without you, becauseMore people will die from the epidemic."

Su Mu was slightly taken aback, but before he could answer, Lu Lingjue shouted from afar.

"My lord! What whispers are you talking about!" He trotted towards the two of them, "You two didn't leave in a blink of an eye, let me listen too!"

Liu Xiaoran glanced over indifferently, and the latter obediently stopped talking, and instead hooked Su Mu's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "I think the lord seems to be grabbing you just now, did he bully you? Do you remember meeting him?"You must tell Mrs. Bai about this kind of thing, although I can't beat you, Mrs. Bai will definitely help you!"

"She loves you!"

Hearing this, Su Mu smiled lightly and shook his head, but his heart was not at ease.

It's not that he doesn't understand the truth in his heart. Mou Xun was killed and Ruan Wenping was actually poisoned before he came. Even if he didn't come to Jiang Prefecture because of fear, the epidemic was already inevitable.

But there was still a faint voice in my heart asking him.

What if he could detect it earlier and find Silla and Su Qi earlier?

In the end, even he himself felt that he was a bit of a fool, and he didn't want to spoil Lu Lingjue's interest in eating, so he smiled and patted Lu Lingjue's hand hanging on his body.

"Liu Shaoqing is listening."

Lu Lingjue looked back and saw Liu Xiaoran looking at her, she shivered for a moment, and then started another topic: "It is said that the steamed crabs in Xiangyue restaurant are extremely fat, and they are the best in Jiang Prefecture...."

When they arrived, although there were not many people in the Xiangyue Pavilion, they tended to get busy gradually.

Adhering to the principle of strike first and gain the upper hand, Lu Lingjue chose a private room on the second floor, ordered a table of dishes with her eyes closed, and rushed up, looking quite hostile, likeAs if she was afraid that Liu Xiaoran would suddenly regret it.

Liu Xiaoran was used to this for a long time, so she paid the money first without changing her face, and walked up slowly with Su Mu.

The decoration of Xiangyue Pavilion is more elegant, but the smell of food in the air made Su Mu, who hadn't felt anything at all, feel hungry.

"Isn't Mrs. Bai coming?" Su Mu asked after looking around.

Lu Lingjue had already eaten the peanuts on the table at this moment, and while chewing, she replied: "She said today that she is going to send off her younger brother, so she won't come with us."

"Bai Shu?" Those two people appeared in Su Mu's mind like timely rain, and he felt a little ashamed when he thought that he always forgot to thank them, "Are they leaving?"

"These two dragons have always seen their heads and tails, and they may suddenly appear again someday. I'm used to it." Lu Lingjue shook her head, patted Su Mu on the shoulder and said in relief, "If Yu Zhi wants to talk to themMake friends, and there will be opportunities in the future."

While speaking, Xiaoer had already brought the dishes, and Lu Lingjue immediately let out a cheer.

The dishes in Xiangyue restaurant are full of color, fragrance and taste, which attract people's attention inadvertently. Even Su Mu still has concerns, but now they are put aside. I am really sorry for myself for not cherishing the food.

Lu Lingjue had a good meal, and he didn't forget to continue chatting. He seemed to have collected a lot of anecdotes, and he was waiting to tell others when he was free.When I met a story about a poor old lady, someone knocked lightly on the door of the private room suddenly.

Subconsciously, Lu Lingjue felt that someone was coming to serve the food, and shouted.

"Come in, come in!"

But when the door was opened, the bright yellow hem made all three of them stunned.

"Ning...His Royal Highness King Ning?"

After being dazed for a while, Lu Lingjue suddenly realized that he still had something to eat in his mouth, so he hurriedly put it down, followed the other two and saluted respectfully.

Ji Jingchen still had a friendly look with downcast eyebrows and a smiling face. He squinted his eyes and waited cheerfully for several people to finish their ceremony before saying softly: "The shopkeeper said there are also some noble people here. I thought it would be you, what a coincidence."

As he spoke, he paced in and asked, "I wonder if this king is lucky enough to have dinner with you?"

There is no reason for not agreeing here, the shop owner has already filled the seats graciously, and the few people sat down together in silence.

"I haven't had a chance to catch up with you before, and it's been a long time since I sat together like this." Ji Jingchen turned the teacup in front of him, looked at Liu Xiaoran, "Yan Xuan, you seem to be living a good life nowVery good, I am relieved."

Su Mu was a little surprised by the familiarity in Ji Jingchen's words, and subconsciously looked at Liu Xiaoran, who seemed to have a very complicated expression, and it took a long time before he responded.

"yes."

Looking at Lu Lingjue next to him, he was staring at the teacup in front of him as if he was letting himself go, as if he had settled down.

They knew each other before?

He really didn't know anything about Liu Xiaoran's identity and background, unlike modern times where information is transparent, it was quite difficult to inquire about other people's family background in ancient times, especially for a high-ranking person like Liu Xiaoran.

And because Su Mu was already a member of Dali Temple when he met Liu Xiaoran, he always subconsciously believed in him, so he never thought of checking Liu Xiaoran's past.

He remembered that Lu Lingjue once called Liu Xiaoran's father Shangshu, the status of the six Shangshu was naturally unusual, but they could not have any relationship with the prince, but judging from Ji Jingchen's tone, the two seemed to be friends who had known each other for many years.

Liu Xiaoran's reply was not enthusiastic, but Ji Jingchen didn't seem to mind at all, and after wiping his hands, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Just now, this king received a letter from his father."

As soon as these words came out, even Lu Lingjue, who was in a daze just a second ago, came back to his senses, and stared at Ji Jingchen closely.

"The governor of Jiang Prefecture, Du Han, did not notice and caused a catastrophe. He planned to cut off one of the governors, and this king personally brought him back to Capital City for trial."
