Chapter 189
Bai Hu was slightly taken aback, he didn't understand exactly what the trump card of Prince Yu's Mansion was in Chu Nan's mouth.

Just looking outside the study, Chu Nan disappeared into the long snowy night, and the long sword in Baihu's hand gradually tightened.

He knew that everything Chu Nan just said was true!

According to the news from the palace, the emperor's illness came strangely, and the arch guard lost Shen Moli a few days ago. Dongchang, Imperial Concubine Ling, and Chu Lian, who were formerly in the harem, were all in harmony. These three people would completely control the former harem. With the empress dowager and Chu Nan struggling to support the previous dynasty, the capital would have been completely turned upside down long ago.

But Baihu didn't dare to act rashly for a moment until his master gave an order.

He knew very well that even if he obeyed Chu Nan and fought to the death to bring down Dongchang and his lackeys, if there is no real evidence, I am afraid that Prince Yu's House and Nanwang's House will end up with a crime of treason. It just happened to fall into the hands of those people in Dongchang!

"Master, you must make sure everything goes well!"

Under all kinds of entanglements, Baihu could only mutter to himself.

A few days later, Chu Nan, who did not dare to act rashly, entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother.

In fact, Chu Nan has not been in the capital all year round, and he does not have much affection for the queen mother, but now the grandparent and grandson can talk for a long time in the palace because of some things.

When Chu Nan came out of the palace, he happened to meet Qin Kexin who also came to greet the Queen Mother.

In the snow-covered courtyard, red walls and green tiles are exposed everywhere because of the melting snow, adding a touch of color to the monotonous palace.

Qin Kexin in a white cloak stood opposite to Chu Nan in a black brocade robe. Their eyes met, as if they were the only ones in the world.

"I have seen His Highness Nan Wang."

"I've seen the Lord Jiacheng."

Under the polite greetings, they were full of inquiries, but the two of them tacitly did not say anything more, as if everything was in silence.

The moment the black and white figures staggered, the cold wind blew across their faces.

Qin Kexin's hair brushed against Chu Nan's ears with a hint of fragrance. The beauty was only at that moment, and there was an inexplicable ripple in the hearts of the two of them.

After a while, Qin Kexin slowly entered the hall, and she noticed the sad queen mother in the center of the hall at a glance, and the emotions that had been secretly seen by Chu Nan dissipated quickly.

"Ke Xin sees the empress dowager, the empress dowager is blessed and safe."

Under such an atmosphere, Qin Kexin didn't dare to escape too much, and obediently knelt down to salute.

The queen mother eased her expression and raised her hand.

"It's a filial child, get up quickly."

Qin Kexin got up and walked to the steps where the queen mother was, with a hint of concern in her tone.

"The Empress Dowager looks a bit haggard, but it's cold, and you didn't rest well at night?"

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Madam Xia frowned and walked into the hall to greet Qin Kexin.

"I have met the Jiacheng County Lord. The Queen Mother has always loved you. You can persuade the Queen Mother to let her feel at ease."

The Empress Dowager did not accuse Madam Xia of talking too much, but she began to sigh after hearing these words. Now the emperor's illness really made her feel anxious.

"The imperial hospital is full of quack doctors. The emperor has been ill for many days, but he has not improved. How long can this old bone of the Ai family last!"

The Empress Dowager became more and more excited as she spoke, until finally she couldn't help coughing.

Nanny Xia hurried to get the spittoon, and Qin Kexin immediately brought tea and knelt beside the Queen Mother.

Qin Kexin lowered her head slightly, she naturally knew the reason why the Queen Mother was so sad, but there was nothing she could do.

Originally, her father, Qin Yuanlu, told her not to enter the palace at this time, even if she had to enter the palace, she had to learn not to look, not listen, not to speak, so as to keep the Yong'an Houfu and Shangshufu.

Qin Kexin also knew that the situation in the capital was difficult, and those ladies and ladies who used to change their ways to hold banquets were silent now, and they all stayed in their own mansions, fearing that their words and deeds would harm them.

Perhaps with the protection of the Empress Dowager and the Marquis of Yong'an, Qin Yuanlu could remain neutral and a pure minister in the court, and had nothing to do with those factional disputes.

"Kexin, come to Ai's house."

The queen mother looked at the well-behaved Qin Kexin, and waved to her, signaling her to sit beside her.

Qin Kexin raised her eyes and smiled, put the teacup on the table beside her, and obediently sat beside the queen mother with her skirt lifted.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is blessing the world, and it will definitely get better. Don't worry too much."

The queen mother looked at Qin Kexin softly, holding Qin Kexin's hand with a pair of old but noble hands.

"Girl Kexin, there is something I want to entrust to you."

A quarter of an hour later, the pale Qin Kexin walked out of the Queen Mother's bedroom step by step.

The originally rosy lips had long lost their color, and the slender fingers under the cloak were tightly holding on to the hem of the skirt. Her whole body seemed to be in an ice cellar, and her feet could only walk numbly towards the outside of the palace.

I don't know how to get back to the Shangshu Mansion.

Qin Kexin ignored her father and mother's inquiries, and just went straight to her yard, locked herself in the wing room, and even though the master and wife of the mansion came to ask, she never opened the door.

The Shangshu Mansion only thought that Qin Kexin had gone out during the day and caught the cold, and saw that she kept saying that she wanted to rest, so they invited a doctor to wait in Qin Kexin's courtyard, so that she could rest peacefully.

After nightfall, it began to snow in Kyoto, and the places where the snow melted during the day were quickly buried by heavy snow again.

In today's Kyoto, there are few people during the day, and it is even colder at night. The general teahouses and wine shops are closed at night, and even the Goulan courtyard house where the tourists come like clouds in the past, no one comes.

In such a cold and dark city of Kyoto, a bi-colored figure walked alone in the snowy night, even though her shoes and socks had already been soaked in snow, the bi-colored figure did not dare to stop.

A quarter of an hour later, outside the gate of Nanwangfu.

Before the bi-color figure approached, two guards with knives outside the gate walked down the steps and shouted sharply.

"Who came late at night? Do you know who lives here?"

The bi-color figure paused for a few seconds, then took off the hood to reveal a beautiful face, speaking neither humble nor overbearing.

"I would also like to ask the two big guards to pass on a message, and ask His Highness Nanwang to come out and see you."

Seeing this, a guard snorted coldly.

"Since you know this is Nanwang's mansion, if you don't leave quickly, how can you see His Highness Nanwang?"

Qin Kexin didn't want to delay the time, so after slightly frowning, she showed the sign on her waist.

"Master Jiacheng is asking to see His Royal Highness Nanwang, and please pass it on."

As soon as these words came out, the guards outside the mansion gate immediately responded with their hands clapped.

"It turned out to be the head of Jiacheng County. Many of his subordinates have offended me, so please invite me from the mansion."

Qin Kexin didn't want to get a bad reputation. It's really inappropriate for a woman who has not left the cabinet to enter the man's house in the middle of the night.

"You don't need to go in, I'll wait for King Nan outside the mansion."

Another guard quickly turned around and entered the mansion.

After a while, Chu Nan, who was still wearing the black brocade robe in the daytime, hurried over and looked at Qin Kexin in the heavy snow, his hair and shoulders were covered with snow.

"Why don't you invite the county head into the mansion?"

The guard was very innocent, but he could only whisper.

"The county magistrate said to wait outside the mansion, subordinate."

Chu Nan's face darkened, and he raised his hand to signal the guards to shut up.
Then he grabbed the oil umbrella that was being held by the servant beside him, lifted a corner of his robe, quickly walked down the steps, and placed the opened oil umbrella on top of Qin Kexin's head.

"Master Jiacheng, please."
