Zuo Xiangning asked Bingyu to check the whereabouts of Marquis Zhongyuan.

Bingyu looked at Zuo Xiangning in shock.

"Can you talk to the aide of Marquis Zhongyuan?" Zuo Xiangning thought for a moment and said, "Or is there any way to bribe him and get him to say a few words to me?"

Bingyu shook his head, "We can't even speak to the people around Zhongyuan Marquis."

Zuo Xiangning thought for a moment and said: "I will leave the capital the day after tomorrow. I want to see Marquis Zhongyuan before leaving the capital."

Bingyu was silent for a moment and said: "I will go check the whereabouts of Marquis Zhongyuan now."

"Yes." Zuo Xiangning warned, "Be careful."

The next day, Bingyu appeared in front of Zuo Xiangning exhausted.

"Marquis Zhongyuan will go to pay homage to the Crown Prince today."

Zuo Xiangning stood up quickly and asked someone to help her change into a set of elegant clothes.

In front of Ling Xiao's grave, Zuo Xiangning met Marquis Zhongyuan.

Marquis Zhongyuan was tall and tall, like a thousand-year-old tree, deeply rooted in the earth.

His face is engraved with the traces of time, showing a kind of calmness and restraint that makes people respect him.

"Are you that girl from the Zuo family?" His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

"Yes." Zuo Xiangning bowed respectfully to him, "I want to see the crown prince again before leaving."

"You are leaving Beijing tomorrow. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Marquis Zhongyuan said to Zuo Xiangning like a gentle elder.

Zuo Xiangning glanced at the tombstone a few steps away, and her big black and white eyes were instantly filled with crystal tears.

"Master Hou, I want to ask you something. Can you tell me the truth?" Zuo Xiangning choked.

"What happened?" Marquis Zhongyuan also looked at the tombstone and sighed, "I heard Xiao'er mention you, and I know that he likes you very much. It's a pity..."

Zuo Xiangning's tears rolled down instantly, blurring her vision.

"I want to know how he died!" Zuo Xiangning said: "I know that his martial arts is very good, but I don't believe that he would fall off the cliff so easily."

"He was drugged and lost all his martial arts skills at that time, so he accidentally fell off the cliff." Marquis Zhongyuan sighed and said: "Now that Xiao'er is gone, I hope you can forget about him and live a good life on your own. life."

"Who gave him the medicine?" Zuo Xiangning asked impatiently.

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I have already dealt with it." Zhongyuan Hou said: "Xiao'er really likes you, and he also hopes that you can be happy. When you get to the north, if you really encounter any trouble, just let Send me a letter from Bingyun or Bingyu, and I will help you make arrangements."

"Thank you." Zuo Xiangning's tears flowed even more fiercely, "Master Marquis, I want to stay alone with the Crown Prince here for a while."

"Don't be too sad. Go back early. It's not good for others to see you."

Marquis Zhongyuan looked at the tombstone, turned around and walked heavily down the mountain.

Zuo Xiangning walked to the tombstone, sat on the ground, covered her face and cried.

She knew that Marquis Zhongyuan knew the real cause of Ling Xiao's death, but he would not tell her.

The person who poisoned Ling Xiao was most likely from the Hou Mansion. She even doubted whether the second young master Ling fell off the cliff on purpose.

But what's the use of saying this?

"Don't worry, I won't just let this matter go. As long as I have the chance, I will definitely find out the truth and avenge you!" Zuo Xiangning vowed to touch the name on the tombstone, "Wait for me."

The next morning, Zuo Xiangning put on the bright red wedding dress prepared for her by the eldest princess, got into the carriage, and was escorted by Zuo Zixi, and met Bai Fengyu at the gate of the capital.

The carriage left the capital in a mighty manner and headed north.

That night, after checking into the inn, Zuo Xiangning met Zhang Tu and Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was so excited when he saw Zuo Xiangning that he almost jumped up.

"Are you really with the girl? I thought my father was lying to me." Xiao Wu stood in front of Zuo Xiangning, his eyes sparkling, "It's great that I don't have to go back to my hometown alone!"

"You must listen to Zhang Tu all the way. No matter where you go or what happens, you must tell Zhang Tu immediately." Zuo Xiangning touched his hair and said, "I promised your father Yes, I will definitely take good care of you, but you can’t let me break my promise to him.”

"Don't worry, girl, I will be obedient." Xiao Wu quickly agreed.

"Also, I found a gentleman for you, and he rode in a carriage with you. Every morning and afternoon, you listened to him lecture for an hour." Zuo Xiangning added: "You have to write for half an hour in the evening. .”

"Okay, I know, I will study hard." Xiao Wu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I promise not to let the girl break her trust."

Zuo Xiangning asked Zhang Tu with a smile, "Have you brought enough clothes? If not, buy more on the way. The further you go northwest, the colder the weather will be."

"I have brought enough things, but Xiao Wu still lacks two cotton-padded clothes." Zhang Tu said, "Doctor Liu said it is not convenient to bring a lot."

"Buy some when you pass by the market." Zuo Xiangning asked Xiao Wu and Zhang Tu to exit, when Zuo Zixi walked in and asked, "Who is the child Zhang Tu is bringing?"

"It's Dr. Liu's son, Xiao Wu." Zuo Xiangning smiled and said, "I promised Dr. Liu to take Xiao Wu to see the world."

Zuo Zixi closed the door, pulled Zuo Xiangning to the window, and asked in a low voice: "You don't bring other people's children out for no reason. What's going on?"

"Gu Zhiqing went to see Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu was afraid that he would use Xiao Wu to blackmail him, so he told the outside world that he would send Xiao Wu back to his hometown." Zuo Xiangning told the truth, "I like Xiao Wu very much, so I agreed. Take him with you.”

Zuo Zixi nodded, "If you find anything wrong, just tell me."

"When Xiao Wu came, I asked someone to follow him to make sure no one was following him." Zuo Xiangning saw Zuo Zixi's face was a little solemn and explained.

"Do you think Doctor Liu is in danger in the capital?" Zuo Zixi asked, "What impact will that have on Princess Chu?"

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips. If Liu Qian had not poisoned the emperor, the emperor would not have died and King Chu would not have ascended the throne.

If Gu Zhiqing pushes Liu Qian into a panic and Liu Qian says something to the emperor, no one knows whether the King of Chu will be involved.

"It's also good for Xiao Wu to be with us now. No matter what Dr. Liu does, he should have some scruples." Seeing that Zuo Xiangning didn't want to say anything, Zuo Zixi said, "Don't worry, I will be taken care of carefully." Good Xiaowu."

Zuo Xiangning looked at Zuo Zixi's back and blinked twice. Did her elder brother misunderstand her intention to take Xiao Wu?

What about Doctor Liu?

Didn't he also misunderstand what he meant?

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly took out a pen and paper and wanted to write a letter to Liu Qian.

But she had paper and pen ready, but she didn't know what to write.

Now secretly, I don't know how many people are staring at Liu Qian. If her letter falls into the hands of others, it may bring death to the Zuo family.

As for Liu Qian's fate, it all depends on God's will.

She, Liu Qian, and her sister all told the consequences that might happen in the future. Whether they could avoid it or not depended on their lives!

Zuo Xiangning put away the pen and paper again. Suddenly she saw a figure flashing outside the window. She quickly stood up and shouted: "Who is it?"
