Although Jin Ke spoke intermittently, he was able to say everything he knew clearly. It is unknown why he completely collapsed, but it can be seen that he has completely given up on King Ning.

"I wanted to go back to seek help from my father, but I didn't want to be brought to Dali Temple by him. How ridiculous."

A most miserable smile appeared on Jin Ke's face: "I live like a joke. I'm just a bereaved dog. I personally ruined the life of the only person who cared about me. It's ridiculous to end up like this, really.ridiculous."

Jin Ke, who was broken and broken, obviously provided them with a lot of clues, but as for why King Ning wanted to kill Su Qi, he didn't know the reason.

"Zuo is just like me, if he knows too much, he will die faster."

"You asked him out for a while, what exactly did you say that you brought Silla to him?" This matter was related to the Marquis of Anding, and it was considered a family affair of Su Mu, so Su Mu also asked very carefully.

"Ha, Master Su, can you still not guess it? His mother has been neglected by your father for many years, and she has long held grudges in her heart. The relationship between you, I only need to dial a little bit, and it can be torn apart., I just provided him with a path similar to mine. As for Silla——that was accidental. She hated Su Yi to the bone.If you generally hate your father, it becomes a cooperative relationship, and I don’t know about the rest, it’s a matter between them.”

At this moment, he didn't want to cover up for anyone anymore, since he couldn't escape the blame anyway, he might as well settle it once and for all, dragging all these people into the water together, treating him and Liu Luoxian as companions.

"If you hand over all this man's words to the emperor, then King Ning will be inseparable from the Jiang Prefecture epidemic case and Wang Jiang." Su Mu looked at Jin Ke's confession, rubbed his numb arm and said, "I just don't know if the emperor will believe it all."

"Even if you don't believe me, your suspicions have already arisen." Liu Xiaoran was also sorting out the confession in her hand. When Jin Ke didn't speak, he didn't say a word, and this opening was like running water, and he wrote down more than ten pages of paper eloquently.

Su Mu returned the statement in his hand to Liu Xiaoran, and simply lay down on his desk, looked at the candlelight and asked, "Yan Xuan, what do you think King Ning will do now? In such a situation, I'm afraid it willForced him to react in advance?"

"For such a major event, if the time is changed at will, then everything needs to be deduced again—otherwise, it will only increase the variables."

Su Mu also knew that what Liu Xiaoran said was right, but suddenly, a thought rushed into his mind like lightning, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Xiaoran's wrist that was leaning on the table.

"how?"

"Today, when General Jin personally brought people here, wasn't it a little extravagant?" Su Mu blinked. After all, he was not in Dali Temple at that time, and he had already heard the process from various discussions on the street.

If such a child was born in the family of such a powerful official, shouldn't normal people be afraid that others will know?How can there be Jin Cheng who is so full of the streets to publicize that he turned his son to justice. This is neither in line with the other party's personality to protect his shortcomings, nor in line with the normal brain circuit of a high-ranking official.

"Is there a possibility—" Su Mu blinked, "Is this intentional?"

Liu Xiaoran understood what Su Mu was referring to, and frowned slightly: "You mean, this is General Jin deliberately making it known to the whole city, so as to force King Ning to start an incident earlier?"

"It's just a guess." Su Mu will lie down again. He is very self-aware about these things, "This group of people has 8,000 minds, so I don't want to guess."

He leaned against the table quietly, shaking his palm in front of the candlelight, and the room became flickering.

"Anyway, in their eyes, everyone can be a pawn, and no one will care about the truth behind those things. As long as they can climb up to the position they should go to, that's enough." Su Mu sighed, put his hand down,"I don't know if I will be sold and returned the money to others someday."

Before he finished speaking, he felt his head being touched.

"Then I will definitely buy you back."

He raised his head as if he had been electrocuted, and looked at Liu Xiaoran.

Although, why does this sound strange?

He suddenly leaned forward and asked with an innocent face: "Buy it back, Liu Shaoqing bought me back, what do you want to do?"

The tone of the last few words was raised deliberately, making the whole sentence sound a bit ambiguous, even under the light, he could clearly see the panic on Liu Xiaoran's face.

Very good, although I am a person who blushes at every turn when dealing with girls, but in front of Liu Xiaoran, I seem to be a bit shameless.

"Why didn't Liu Shaoqing say it? Why did you buy me back?" He suppressed a smile and continued to ask this question.

Liu Xiaoran was forced to have no choice but to pretend to be calm, coughed lightly and said: "It's just a joke."

"A joke? But am I joking?" Su Mu sat back and changed a comfortable position on the table to lie on his stomach. "Since Liu Shaoqing thinks it's a joke, forget it."

Liu Xiaoran's heart skipped a beat in his indifferent words amidst his grievances, and he immediately began to explain: "That's not what I meant—"

Su Mu straightened up suddenly, and the distance between them was shortened by half in an instant.

The light stretched the shadows of the two people very long, pasted on the window paper, constantly shaking with the candlelight.

"What did Liu Shaoqing want to say—" Su Mu pursed her lips, but still couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, "Hey, I'm listening?"

Because he was so much like a libertine molesting others, Su Mu didn't even dare to think for a while how he should face Liu Xiaoran.

Who cares, now he just wants to tease the other party like this.

"If you are here with me, you don't have to do anything, just be at ease." Liu Xiaoran finally said softly, his expression was a little uncomfortable, such a living Hades who was once as unkind as ice, but nowHe looked at himself so tenderly.

Su Mu only felt that his heart was beating a drum in his chest, pounding hard.

"Yan Xuan, if there is such a day, I will stay at your house every day, and I will eat and drink until my temples are gray, will you drive me away?" Su Mu's voice was soft, bursts of hot air brushed against Liu Xiaoran's ear tips, making him even more at a loss.

"Naturally... I will not."

"Then what if I want to stay with Yan Xuan for the rest of my life?" Su Mu moved closer, with a little nervousness and anticipation in his eyes.

He seems to know the answer, but also seems not sure of the answer.

Liu Xiaoran only felt that he could hardly concentrate on thinking about Su Mu's problem. The closer distance and hotter breathing made his mind become a mess that couldn't be separated.

Liu Xiaoran fixedly looked into Su Mu's eyes, and the next moment, he put his arms around the person in front of him.

The sandalwood scent immediately filled the tip of Su Mu's nose. He was already familiar with this smell, and only this smell could make him feel at ease.

This time, he also reached out and hugged Liu Xiaoran tightly.

Although he didn't hear the answer, he didn't care anymore.

Under the flickering candlelight, there were two figures who hadn't let go of each other for a long time.

Facts have proved that Su Mu's worry was right, even though he returned home in a daze the night before, when he woke up early the next morning, he realized what he had done.

"Little Marquis, what's wrong with your face? It looks more than usual—"

"It's more red." A Ying asked cautiously beside Ah Huan.

My little Marquis seemed to be possessed. He washed his face with cold water early in the morning, and after washing, he still covered his face for a long time and refused to let it go.

"It's okay, it's okay." Su Mu shook his head, and finally stood up after slapping himself hard on the cheek twice, "I'll go to Dali Temple to have a look."

Now Ah Huan and A Ying are no strangers to Su Mu's routine of running to Dali Temple early without even taking a bite after washing up. The little girls even thought about it in private, could it be that little Marquis is going to find a job in Dali Temple in the future?, They just ran to Dali Temple twice in three days, but in the end they just talked casually, and they naturally agreed with what little Marquis did.

Su Mu picked up the freshly steamed cakes from the small kitchen, and walked hurriedly, replaying yesterday's scenes in his mind like a movie.

I molested the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Dali Temple?

The feeling is indescribably eerie—and a little bit exciting.

He couldn't tell why he was in a hurry now—probably because he was concerned about whether yesterday's confession had been sorted out.

Yes, it must be so.

When Su Mu reached the door, the yamen servant politely gave way, and pointed the way thoughtfully: "Liu Shaoqing is still in the house, and he hasn't gone back all night."

Su Mu frowned. Before he left yesterday, he reminded Liu Xiaoran to pay attention to rest and go home on time. Sure enough, he overestimated Liu Xiaoran's credibility in this matter.

But it wasn't because of my own nonsense that Liu Xiaoran couldn't go back after finishing cleaning up?

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty again.

But after he tiptoedly opened the door, all the complicated emotions left were heartache.

Liu Xiaoran was still holding on to the pen in one hand, propped her head in the other, and just fell asleep sitting up like this.

Sitting in this posture all night, don't know how uncomfortable it is.

Su Mu sighed softly, put the pastry aside, carefully moved to Liu Xiaoran's side, first took out the wet ink pen from his hand, and then wrapped the person into his cloak.

Like a big fish eating a small fish, he wrapped Liu Xiaoran so that only one head was exposed, and then adjusted his posture to make the other party more comfortable to lean on. During this period, Liu Xiaoran had a tendency to wake up, butAfter a while, he went back to sleep, and Su Mu hugged him like this, flipping through yesterday's file gently.

The warmth made Liu Xiaoran lean closer to Su Mu's side, and Su Mu simply stretched out a hand to hug Liu Xiaoran who was about to slide down.

When Qi Hao pushed open the door, what he saw was his lord and the young master leaning against each other in such an intimate posture.

The moment Su Mu raised his eyes, he happened to see Qi Hao's stunned look. At the same time that his brain was running his way of thinking rapidly, his hands already had their own thoughts.

He raised his index finger to his mouth, and slightly shook his head towards Qi Hao.

Qi Hao, who no longer knew how to react, nodded knowingly, closed the door gently, then grabbed Lu Lingjue who was about to rush in, and covered his mouth where he was about to start yelling.

"Hush, my lord is resting."

Lu Lingjue nodded, indicating that he knew, and then asked softly like a thief: "Then why are you so nervous?"

Cold sweat broke out on Qi Hao's head.

"I seem to see something I shouldn't see."

Qi Hao answered the question calmly.
