Everyone's eyes turned towards Su Nanxing.

Su Nanxing's expression was still as light and colorless as usual. It was cold, and didn't have much warmth to it.

Lin Xuecha's heart felt a little uneasy for some reason.

It was as if someone was hanging from a tree, shaking violently and unable to calm down.

The old emperor was old and senile, Su Nanxing was definitely not stupid.

If she really did live in his manor, then her reputation would be gone.

However, looking at how Su Nanxing and the old emperor were opposing each other, the old emperor's words would most likely be rejected by Su Nanxing.

Indeed.

The man put down his teacup. He stood up and walked out of the mahogany chair.

His face was unusually pale, and his lips were slightly pale, without a trace of blood.

He did not say anything and glanced at Lin Xuecha, and then, he slowly turned to the old emperor and cupped his hands as he spoke respectfully.

"It is better to not mislead a person to be innocent when they are about to die. This child's body is a little unwell, so I will take my leave."

Lin Xuecha was slightly startled.

Su Nanxing turned his body, straightened his back, and walked out of the hall.

A sour feeling came from the bottom of his heart.

It was not thick. It was very light.

But it was enough for her to feel the bitterness.

That was, to Su Nanxing.

She only cared about her innocence and reputation.

But he had forgotten that Su Nanxing was someone who, according to rumors, would not live past the year of the Weak Crown.

His psychological defenses were low to begin with, and his sensitivity was much higher than that of an ordinary person's.

And when he heard her rejection, it undoubtedly gave birth to a sense of despise.

The old emperor was also stunned, but soon after, his face darkened.

"Girl, do you think that's why you're rejecting your master?"

Lin Xuecha quickly got up and kneeled on the ground, "To reply the Emperor, I never thought of it like this, it's just that …"

"Enough." The old emperor mercilessly cut off her words as he coldly said this.

"If you don't want to defy the decree, move over to Lao Jiu tomorrow. Lao Jiu's health is not good, and there is no one around to take care of him.

As you are the disciple of the Lao Jiu, you should take good care of him. If even you look at the Lao Jiu that way, then it is truly … "

The old emperor's tone carried a faint hint of disappointment and disappointment.

He did not say the rest.

However, Lin Xuecha was extremely clear about this.

At that time, Su Nanxing was told by dozens of imperial doctors that he would not live past the year of the Weak Crown.

The old emperor was so infuriated that he killed all the palace maids, eunuchs, and doctors present.

But...

Su Nanxing's health was indeed not good.

No matter how he was treated, not only did he not see the better, he became worse.

Only then did he slowly accept this fact.

The empress dowager sighed deeply.

The color in Su Jin's eyes darkened slightly.

Lin Xuecha answered, "Yes, Snow Tea."

Lin Xuecha had followed Su Nanxing here.

Su Nanxing left the palace first, but the empress dowager's birthday banquet wasn't over yet, so Lin Xuecha couldn't leave.

Presumably, Su Nanxing would first take the carriage and return to the Ninth Prince Palace.

Lin Xuecha walked along the palace path, thinking back to the words the empress dowager had just spoken to him while holding her hand.

"Your mother left too quickly and died before even watching you grow up. But girl, you must remember, even if you lost your mother, you still have this family. You don't believe that this family has a very good relationship with your mother, and before this family became the empress dowager, your mother had done countless things in silence for this family.

I am grateful to her, and I asked the empress to bestow your mother upon the Marquis Anping as her wife. However, I never expected that your mother would have passed away so early, and in the Marquis Anping Palace, if that single large woman dared to have even the slightest bit of disrespect towards you, or even hurt you, just tell her that as long as I am alive, those heartless people will dream of bullying and humiliating you! "

She remembered that when the Empress said her last words, her eyes were fixed on the Empress.

Why?

Could it be that the empress dowager knew of the death of her mother?

However, the empress dowager's words didn't seem to contain much information either.

He only knew that this had to do with the empress.

So that's why the empress dowager doesn't like Marquis Anping's Wife.

Lin Xuecha took a deep breath.

Why did he suddenly feel that the more he searched for the truth of ten years ago, the more the mystery became unfathomable?

What was the queen's motive for killing her mother?

Now, an empress dowager had appeared out of nowhere, and she and her mother were not close to each other. There was an inextricable relationship between the empress dowager and her mother.

She suddenly felt that perhaps her mother was no ordinary palace maid.

While she was lost in her thoughts, a gentle and refined voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"Princess Yuexi, please wait."

Lin Xuecha stopped in her tracks, she turned, only to see a man walking quickly towards her.

The young man wore a light blue robe, had a jade-like face, and was handsome and gentle.

Lin Xuecha slightly raised his brows, "Imperial Censor."

Li Churan cupped his hands towards her, and said to her, "Princess, you came here with Jing Ran, I believe there will be no carriage to return to the residence now. If you do not abandon her, Churan is willing to send you on your way."

Just this?

What was the point of speaking in such a serious manner?!

Lin Xuecha really wanted to laugh.

However, since he was in this line of study, speaking in a refined manner was compatible with Li Churan's official position.

Thus, she also replied in all seriousness, "I hope that's not too much for Snow Tea, then I'll have to trouble Imperial Censor."

Li Churan took Lin Xuecha's eyes.

His lips moved slightly as he gestured towards her. "Princess, please."

Li Churan's carriage stopped right at the entrance of the palace.

Lin Xuecha did not look any further and casually got on the carriage.

Li Churan's line of sight, glanced outside and saw a luxurious carriage, placed safely at the entrance of the palace.

His eyes flashed as he opened the curtain and got into the carriage.

Qian Wu sat on the outside of the carriage, Zi Hui sat on the other side.

The two of them looked at Li Churan's carriage.

Zi Hui squinted his eyes and asked softly, "Why did the princess get into someone else's carriage, and what's so good about that guy?"

Qian Wu replied coldly, but it was clear that he had suppressed his voice on purpose, and his tone was low.

"You should ask, how should you explain this to your master?"

Zi Hui said, "How about, before they leave, I get off the car and invite the princess over."

"…"

"Keep your eyes closed, that Li Churan is still called Li Jiu, he really got the princess's heart. Isn't the case of Grand Guanyin Temple theft from that time the princess covered up for him?

This time, we really cannot let her have any interaction with that man. "

Lin Xuecha was extremely suspicious and suspicious. Someone who could get her help was either someone she needed to cooperate or someone she appreciated.

She already had a master, so naturally, she no longer needed to get to know the people she needed to work with.

Then, this man was the one that Lin Xuecha admired.

How could this be?!

Lin Xuecha was her master's woman.

How can you appreciate other men?

If one were to say that her mistress was inferior, that would still be reasonable.

The problem was that her master was thousands of times better than that man.

Right now, Lin Xuecha had even gotten onto another man's carriage, leaving her master behind and left.

It was even more impossible!

The more Zi Hui thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, "No, I have to go and ask the princess to come over."

She was about to jump out of the carriage and stop the one that was about to pass them.

Unexpectedly, before she could complete her jump off the carriage, a voice came from the carriage's curtain. It wasn't too loud, but it was loud enough for her to hear it clearly.

"Return to the estate."

Zi Hui watched as Li Churan's carriage passed by them.

She bit her lips and frowned as she replied, "Yes, Mistress."

Li Churan's carriage was much smaller than Su Nanxing's carriage.

However, there was nothing on his carriage.

Therefore, it seemed rather spacious.

The corner of Li Churan's mouth formed a warm smile, "Last time, at Grand Guanyin Temple, Churan thanked the princess for her assistance."

"Imperial Censor is courteous."

Lin Xuecha replied indifferently.

Seeing her expression, Li Churan was not annoyed, but the smile on his face became deeper.

"Churan had also said before, if the princess has anything, she can ask for Churan's help. I wonder if the princess still remembers?"

Lin Xuecha nodded, "Isn't Imperial Censor helping Xue Chou right now?"

Just like that?

It was just sending her home, how could he compare to her ruining her own reputation to save him?

Li Churan lowered his gaze, "Actually, Churan doesn't understand the princess very well."

Lin Xuecha looked at him, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"The princess did not hesitate to destroy her own innocence and helped Churan escape this calamity. She did not ask Churan for his reasons and did not ask Churan for his gratitude.

Even though she thought that for some reason, the moment she saw Churan, she had casually saved his life. But after that, the crown prince had also said that Churan had gone to steal the national treasure, but the princess still did not inform him about it.

Lin Xuecha's eyes moved slightly, his voice neither fast nor slow.

"Do you need a reason to save a person? This princess heard that when this princess slipped and fell into the lake, Imperial Censor was willing to ignore his own safety and jump down to save this princess."

At that time, did the Imperial Censor ever repay this county's kindness or give this princess a reason to save her? "

Li Churan was startled.

So, Lin Xuecha, was he repaying the favor?

"This is still a blessing. The sacrifice that we have paid might be a little big. After all, that is the princess' name." he asked.

Lin Xuecha didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Imperial Censor is so conflicted because I destroyed my good name to help you escape this calamity.

That's why the Imperial Censor was so worried and felt that it was unfair to have treated this princess unfairly. That's why she asked this princess to go and do what she wanted you to do, right? "

"Princess, you misunderstand. Churan's mother has warned Churan more than once that men, men, there should always be an end to what they do. Since it's Churan who destroyed the princess' good name, then Churan should be responsible for it."
