The post officer's heart sank, and he hurriedly explained: "General Xie, this person is the fire starter in my station, he, he should not do such a stupid thing."

"Really." Xie Zhizhou said this casually, and then raised his hand, signaling his confidant to take away the cloth that was stuffed in Li San'er's mouth.

With time to speak, Li San'er crawled and knelt down on the ground, with snot and tears streaming down his head.

"My lord, I am obsessed with small things, my lord, please help my lord, my lord."

The post officer also wanted to say a few words for Li San'er, after all, if someone really poisoned these people in his territory, the black hat on his head would not be safe.

However, the moment he heard these two words from Li San'er, the post officer widened his eyes and asked in astonishment, "Li San'er, what did you say?"

Li San'er cried intermittently: "The little one is really dazzled by money. Someone gave the little one 100 taels of silver and asked the little one to put the medicine in the porridge and rice. They said it was a laxative, and it was just delaying the trip. It will kill."

How did he know that this thing turned out to be poison.

As soon as the words fell, the post officer kicked over.

Li San'er cried out in pain and fell to the ground, bleeding from his nose.

"Are you crazy, dare to do such a thing, who instigated you?"

Damn Li San'er, can he earn some money?

Li San'er thought about it carefully: "The little one doesn't know. The man covered his face, but there is a scar on his eyebrows, about one finger long, and his eyes are raised, which is a fierce look."

"General Xie, this matter is due to my carelessness. Don't worry, I will definitely find out the person behind the poison and give you an explanation."

Up to now, he can only show his attitude.

Xie Zhizhou glanced at Xiao Yunheng.

The latter had no expression on his face, his pupils flickered slightly.

Xie Zhizhou understood, and immediately said: "No need, I have already sent someone to report, and I think someone from the capital will come to investigate this matter soon."

"what!"

The post officer softened his legs.

The capital is coming!

"My lord only needs to cooperate well and find out the person who poisoned me, and I think everything will be fine."

How can the post officer listen to the words at this moment, only his words are in his mind.

——The capital is coming!

Can he keep the black hat when he writes?

Thinking of this, he gave Li San'er a vicious look.

It's all this dog thing.

What laxatives, what delays in the trip, 100 taels of silver is only an account of such a small matter to him, it can't be so simple after thinking about it.

Could it be that Li San'er couldn't detect the weirdness in it.

He is not a fool, how could he fail to figure it out, it is nothing more than a greedy desire in his heart, and he has no scruples.

The next morning, when Xie Zhizhou and his party were sent away, the smile on the post officer's face was forced.

There was no cover-up about the food being poisoned at the post station, and it spread quickly.

Among the team escorting several people back to the capital, there was a messenger inserted by Emperor Hui. Before they even arrived in the capital, they hurriedly sent the news back.

Similarly, all the honorable families in the entire capital were secretly paying attention to Xiao Yunheng and Lu Xiyue's return to the capital.

The story of the poisoning had spread all over the place before they arrived in the capital.

In the next few days of the itinerary, whether it was food or drinks, they were extra careful, but there was no such thing as poisoning again.

This is also the reason why Xiao Yunheng told Metabolism Continent that he must not keep this matter under wraps.

They had just set foot on the road back to Beijing, and some people couldn't hold back.

The reason is thought-provoking.

After five days, everyone arrived in the capital.

Emperor Hui made a decree to arrange people in the Prince Ning's Mansion, which had been abandoned for nearly two years, and sent guards to surround them, with the intention of protecting them.

Xie Zhizhou returned to the palace.

The scene in the courtyard is lonely, with overgrown grass and trees, and the painted red wooden door has also lost its color, revealing a scene of decay. Cobwebs are formed on the courtyard door, and the dust is choking. It can't see the prosperity of the past at all.

In the huge dilapidated palace, there were only the three of them, and the luggage of the four carriages sent by the guards to the courtyard.

Looking at the plants and trees in the mansion, Xiao Yunheng pursed his lips, held Lu Xiyue's hand, and remained silent.

Finally returned to the capital, back to the palace.

But everything is different from two years ago.

Lu Xiyue secretly clenched that big hand, and broke the long silence in the courtyard with a smile.

"It looks a bit old, but it is still livable, but I don't know where we should live."

She shook the young man's arm: "Your Majesty, we are already home, don't take us around."

Looking at those clear and beautiful eyes, Xiao Yunheng's throat tightened, suppressing the bitterness of silence, and gently smiled: "Okay."

Lu Xiyue thought that Prince Ning's Mansion was very big, and it was estimated to be about the same size as the Duke's Mansion.

It's just that she forgot that when Prince Ning's mansion was not down, Prince Ning was the most trusted prince of Emperor Hui, and he held a heavy army. It can be said that he was deeply favored by the emperor.

This house was not long after Emperor Hui came to the throne, he personally ordered people to supervise the construction, and sent it to King Ning who helped him stabilize the frontier.

It took about a cup of tea time to walk from the front yard to the back yard.

In the yard at the back, there are also a few clean rooms, which can be accommodated with a little cleaning.

After tidying up the room, Xiao Yunheng came to Qingfengzhu alone.

In the middle of the courtyard, the branched branches of the tall and thick plane tree almost crossed the courtyard wall and extended to the courtyard on the other side.

Under a nearly balanced tree trunk, the swing connected by ropes was gently swayed by the wind. One side of the rope had been broken, leaving only the other dry rope hanging on the cushion, precarious in the wind.

He went to the swing frame and tried to connect the broken rope.

Lu Xiyue walked to Qingfeng Zhuwai and saw this scene.

The lonely young man held the broken rope with both hands, his white and slender joints seemed to be stiff at the moment, and he couldn't tie the knot no matter what.

She walked over and took the rope from his hand.

The most vigilant young man on weekdays showed a dazed expression, his eyes were scarlet, and his bloodshot pupils reflected that bright smile under the shadow of mottled trees.

She tied the knot in twos and threes.

"The rope of this swing is aging, if you apply some oil to maintain it, it can still be used."

Xiao Yunheng looked at him quietly, his restraint and forbearance resolutely surged up the moment the girl's voice fell to the ground.

He suddenly reached out and took her into his arms.

"This swing was made by my father. My mother and concubine like to sit on the swing under the plane tree, especially in this season."

The wind is sunny and sunny, sitting in the courtyard facing the spring is the most comfortable.

Lu Xiyue reached out, hugged the man's thin waist, raised a hand, and stroked his back.

She didn't speak, and quietly listened to what he said about King Ning and Princess Ning.

I don't know how long it took, the wind that swept leisurely rustled the leaves on the branches.
