Madam let me die

When they arrived at the teahouse, the two asked for a private room on the second floor.

Looking at the long-legged and slender Nie Ying in front of him, Li Nanke's bad mood improved a little. He said half teasingly and half concerned: "I haven't seen you for a few days. I feel that Nie Qianhu has lost a lot of weight. Do you miss me too much?"

"I would like to miss you, but you won't miss me."

Nie Ying smiled.

Li Nanke looked surprised when he heard the woman's words.

After all, this woman had always acted coldly in the past and faced his teasing with indifference. She never expected to say these ambiguous words today.

"Has there been any progress in the investigation I asked you to investigate before?"

Nie Ying poured tea for the man.

What the other party said was the threatening incident.

Someone had previously given Nie Ying a mysterious letter saying that one of her relatives was selling Red Rain.But there was no movement after that, and I don’t know what the purpose of writing her letter was.

Preliminary judgment is that it is an advance threat.

Li Nanke shook his head and replied honestly: "Sorry, I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to investigate your matter."

"It's okay, I understand."

Nie Ying was not angry. She took out a letter and handed it to the man, "I received it again. Just last night, I don't know who threw it at my house."

The envelope was a bit old and had a faint musty smell.

Li Nanke opened the envelope and looked at it.

There are only a few sentences in it, and the content is very simple, which is to ask Nie Ying to investigate a fire case 20 years ago.

The location is a pawnshop called "Yunshang" in Beijing.

"I checked this 'Yunshang Pawnshop'. It was located near Liuhefang in the north gate of the capital 20 years ago. Because of a fire, the entire pawnshop was burned down, and the owner's family also died inside."

Nie Ying told what he had investigated, "The boss's name was Xu Youhai. In addition to his wife, there were also..."

At this point, the woman paused and continued, "There is also a pair of twins who are just one month old."

Li Nanke's heart moved. He looked up at the woman's beautiful face and asked, "Are these twins sure to have died in the fire?"

"Anyway, this is what is recorded in the archives."

Nie Ying took a sip of tea and looked down at the table.

Li Nanke folded the letter and put it in an envelope and handed it back to her, "So you think that if the twins survive, it will be you and the brother you have never met."

Nie Ying was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know. There is no reason for the person who sent me the letter to deliberately do such a trick."

Seeing the woman's inner struggle, Li Nanke said: "According to the messenger, you have a relative who sells red rain. This person is probably your brother."

The woman pursed her lips and did not respond.

Li Nanke said: "If it were really your brother, what would you do?"

"do not know."

Nie Ying shook her head lightly.

She held the cup in her hands slightly tightly to hide her inner confusion and hesitation.

She is usually withdrawn and has never thought that she would have any relatives.

Although she has always been very indifferent towards others, after all, like other ordinary people, there is a trace of longing for family affection deep in her heart.

Now that I know that I may have a younger brother, I can't help but feel mixed emotions.

There is both fear and expectation.

Li Nanke held the woman's cold jade hand and said with a smile: "I will help you investigate. Whether it is true or false, I will work hard to find the truth for you."

Feeling the man's genuine concern, Nie Yingfang's heart warmed.

But the other person's move of grabbing her hand made the woman frown. She wanted to pull it out, but hesitated for a moment and finally didn't move. Instead, she was a little greedy for the warmth of the other person's hand.

"By the way, has the Emperor assigned you any tasks recently?"

Li Nanke asked.

"What?" Nie Ying was startled, then suddenly came to her senses, a blush appeared on her pretty face, "The Emperor did not arrange any tasks. He just asked us to patrol the imperial city. The focus of the patrol was on the areas affected by the earthquake two days ago. "

Inspection...Li Nanke was thoughtful.

No wonder after the earthquake, people didn’t discuss the topic of “disappearance” much. It turned out to be fear.

The shadow guard patrols and hangs out in front of the house every day, who dares to talk nonsense.

"On New Year's Eve, compared with previous years, are there any special arrangements in the palace?"

Li Nanke asked again.

Nie Ying thought for a while and said: "On New Year's Eve, the palace should be decorated as luxuriously as usual, with lanterns and colorful lights. As for something more special than in previous years, there is one thing."

"what?"

"The Supreme Emperor had some strange stones brought from somewhere and placed around the Wuji Palace."

"Stone?"

What Li Nanke immediately thought of was the spirit stone used in the formation.

But if it was a spirit stone, Nie Ying would recognize it.

"Is it a spiritual stone?" In order to verify his conjecture, Li Nanke wanted to confirm.

"No, it's just an ordinary stone."

Nie Ying said.

Li Nanke was confused.

But no matter what, the entire behavior of the Supreme Emperor is enough to show that New Year's Eve is unusual.

"You should try not to stay in the palace on New Year's Eve."

For the safety of the other party, Li Nanke reminded the woman in advance, "I have recently investigated some things, and it will probably happen on New Year's Eve. You'd better not go. Even if the Emperor asked you to go, you declined."

"What's the matter?" Nie Ying asked curiously.

Li Nanke apologized: "It's not that I don't want to say it, I only know a small part of it. Anyway, I hope nothing happens to you. After all, we can be considered friends."

Realizing the man's sincere advice, Nie Ying nodded, "Okay, I'll remember it."

……

After saying goodbye to Nie Ying, Li Nanke returned to the Night Patrol Department and went straight to the Qinglong Department.

In the Qinglong Department, Shangguan Guanzheng was discussing things with his subordinates.

Seeing Li Nanke barging in directly, Shangguan Guan frowned, waved his subordinates to leave, closed the door and asked, "Looking at your hurried expression, something must be up to you. Tell me, I hope you won't scare me."

"Did the Emperor arrange anything for you on New Year's Eve?"

Li Nanke cut to the chase.

New Year's Eve?

Shangguan Guan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, the Supreme Emperor hasn't come to me recently. Is something going to happen?"

"As a friend, I would like to advise you not to enter the palace on New Year's Eve."

Li Nanke pulled up a chair and sat in front of Shangguan Pass, and said calmly, "People from the underworld will break into the palace on New Year's Eve, people from the Tianqiong Sect will also go in, and... King Anping may also get involved. If you go in, you will only die. "

Shangguan Guan's pupils contracted, "Are you sure?"

"Correct."

Li Nanke nodded.

Shangguan Guan stood up and was about to leave the room, but Li Nanke stopped him, "If you walk out of this room now, the friendship between you and me will be cut off. You need to think clearly."

"Li Nanke, if something happens to the Supreme Emperor, the whole world will be in chaos!"

"How do you know that the world will be in chaos if the Supreme Emperor dies? And he may not die."

Li Nanke said sarcastically. "If you want to be a dog, then go ahead and be one. Don't disgust me."

Shangguanguan's face looked uncertain.

After standing for a long time, he returned to Li Nanke and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Protect my family, including the eldest princess."
