Chapter 31
For several days, both of them only stayed in this small town.

Jinse likes to go shopping in the market during the day, Su Mo stayed with her for two days, Jinse realized that he didn't really like the bustle of the market, so she didn't let him accompany her again.And at night, Jinse's injuries always hurt for a while, so Su Mo stayed with her every night until the pain appeared, and took a medicinal bath before going back to her room to rest.

Neither of them mentioned the matter of returning to Beijing until this day when two guards in brocade clothes suddenly appeared in the inn.

"The emperor ordered that the prince has been away from Beijing for a long time, and it's time to go back."

Su Mo unfolded the letter they brought and glanced lightly: "What else?"

"Also...the queen mother also ordered the prince to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Su Mo laughed, looked up and saw Jinse running in from the door.

Seeing the two brocade-clothed guards sitting on the same table with Su Mo, Jin Se was stunned immediately, and her face turned a little pale in an instant. After a long time, she finally looked at Su Mo, pursed her lips, and said nothing. What to say, bowed his head and went straight upstairs.

The two guards also saw her, of course, one of them immediately showed a look of surprise, and the other bumped into him hurriedly, suppressing the words "Princess Ning" that he was about to blurt out just now.

"You go back first." Su Mo said lightly, "I'll be back soon."

"Yes, my lord."

Su Mo went upstairs, only to find that Jinse had entered his room. When he went in to take a look, he saw that Jinse was putting several pieces of his clothes into the package one by one.

She moved very slowly at first, but when she looked up and saw him standing at the door, she suddenly packed the bag very quickly, then put it on the table, and said to him: "It's all packed, you can leave at any time."

"The most important thing is that you haven't taken care of it, so how do you start?" Su Mo smiled slightly, and stepped forward to hug her.

Jinse took his hand away and broke free from his embrace.

"It's enough." She whispered, "It's enough for such a period of time. I know there are many people waiting for you in the capital, you must go back. But I can't go back again. "

"Jinse." Su Mo embraced her again, and said with a smile, "This is the end of the matter, and you are still thinking about these things, so it seems that I am not doing well enough——"

Jin Se suddenly hugged him with her backhand, and intercepted what he was going to say next: "Enough, you have done well enough. No matter these few days, whether you are true or false, I believe you are True love. This is really enough."

Since then, the two have been at loggerheads over their return to Beijing.In fact, it wasn't a stalemate, Jinse was determined not to go back, although Su Mo didn't object, but his calm appearance clearly had plans in his heart.

Knowing that if he went back here, there would be a lot of wind and rain waiting, but he didn't seem to care.

Jinse cared.

That night, she locked herself in the room and didn't allow Su Mo to come in. Even though her body was hurting, she resisted not to go out. She didn't open the door quietly until she finally heard Su Mo's voice returning to the room.

It was already late at night, and everyone in the inn had already rested, only her and Su Mo's room was still lit with candles.

Jinse walked out of the room lightly, lifted her skirt and went downstairs.

How could this slight noise be hidden from Su Mo?

When Jinse walked down the stairs and glanced back at his room, she suddenly found Su Mo standing behind the fence on the second floor and looking at herself.

Seeing her turn around, Su Mo smiled lightly: "Where are you going?"

Jinse's heart was shocked, she frowned slightly, and walked straight to the door.

Unexpectedly, before she approached, there was a sudden knock on the door, extremely anxious.

Jinse's face changed, and she froze in place. Su Mo had already hurried downstairs, protecting Jinse behind her, and then opened the door of the inn.

A moon-white figure staggered in, under the moonlight, only bloodstains on his body could be seen, it was really shocking!

"Ah!" Jinse's gaze touched his face, and she suddenly screamed, "Song Heng?"

It was Song Heng who came!She couldn't think of it anyway, so she rushed to him, stretched out her hand to support him, and said anxiously: "Song Heng, what's wrong with you? What's going on?"

Although there was a lot of blood on Song Heng's body, he didn't seem to be seriously injured. He raised his head to look at Jinse, then at Su Mo behind her, and reluctantly made a gesture.

Jin Se suddenly turned pale: "What's wrong with my father?"

A certain part of Song Heng's body seemed to be in severe pain. He took a slight breath, but he could no longer raise his hand to gesture.

Jinse stared at him for a moment, then suddenly raised her foot and ran out.

"Jinse!" Su Mo grabbed her and said in a deep voice, "Take Song Heng upstairs, hurry up!"

Jinse looked at him hesitantly.What he meant was that Song Heng still had pursuers behind him?
However, before Jinse could ask, Song Heng followed Su Mo's words and dragged Jinse upstairs in a hurry.

Almost at the same time as the door was closing upstairs, Su Mo heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the front of the inn.

The person who came was a small group of guards, who followed all the way, and saw an inn that was still open, immediately stopped their horses, and a group of people rushed into the inn.

Su Mo sat in the lobby of the inn, with only a jug and a wine glass in front of him, drinking calmly.

"Who is it!" A group of guards surrounded him almost immediately, raised torches, and lit the surroundings.

Su Mo's face finally gradually brightened, and when those people saw it clearly, their expressions changed drastically, and they all bowed down and saluted: "See King Qin."

The commotion was not small, the rooms in the inn were more or less lit up with candles, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper's wife were also startled, and stood from a distance holding a candle, looking at this side in panic situation.

"Get up." Su Mo looked at everyone, "Who are you searching for in the middle of the night?"

"Back to the lord, Song Jingtao, the Marquis of Anding, has been sent to prison for deliberately plotting against him. The villains are arresting the remnants of his family."

"Deliberate rebellion?" Su Mo's eyes darkened, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This is really a big deal. When was it exposed?"

"Just yesterday. The emperor handed over this matter to King Ning for investigation, and please return to Beijing quickly!"

"Understood." Su Mo responded lightly, "You continue to track down the whereabouts of the remaining evil, go."

"Yes. The villain is waiting to leave."

A group of guards quickly exited the inn, got on their horses, and galloped forward.

In the bathroom upstairs, Jin Se, who had been trapped by Song Heng and covering her mouth, had already burst into tears silently.

After hearing the sound of the guards leaving, Jinse pushed away Song Heng, who was already weak due to injury, opened the door and rushed downstairs.

Downstairs there was another Su Mo who hugged her by the waist: "Jinse!"

"Let me go!" Jinse cried hoarsely, "You let me go back, I want to go back and save Daddy—"

Su Mo embraced her in his arms instead, and said in a deep voice, "Calm down. We don't know what's going on yet. Marquis Anding has just been thrown into a big prison, and his life is not in danger yet. Calm down first." , let's listen to what Song Heng has to say."

Jinse shook her head desperately: "It's Su Li, my father is from Su Li..."

Hearing this, Su Mo was not surprised at all, he seemed to have known it already, he still hugged her tightly, and said calmly: "Don't worry, we will return to Beijing as soon as the sun is up."

Finally comforted Jinse, and when he returned upstairs, Song Heng had already bandaged his redundant wound with rags, leaving only a deep knife wound on his abdomen. Seeing Jinse and Su Mo walking in, Song Heng immediately Passed out the cloth strips that were ready to be wrapped.

Jinse's teary eyes were dim, and she was about to take it when Su Mo held her hand: "I'll do it."

She watched him take the cloth strip from Song Heng's hand, then squatted down, and bandaged Song Heng bit by bit, disregarding half of the prince's arrogance and dignity.

Jinse stared blankly, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

Song Heng raised his eyes and glanced at her, but there was an unusually calm expression on his always gentle face.

When Jinse caught his sight, she felt flustered, was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What's going on? Could it be because something happened to Su Li that something happened to my father?"

Song Heng shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.

Jinse suddenly felt even more at a loss, remembering that day when her father whipped her body hard, she couldn't help covering her face, and after a while, she said again: "What about the second mother and the third and fourth brothers?" What about Luhe?"

Su Mo finally finished bandaging Song Heng, Song Heng stood up, saluted him slightly before returning to Jinse Road - the second wife and Jinhui Jintang both went to prison together, and Lu He was fine.

Jinse felt her eyes darken, as if she couldn't help but was about to fall, a hand suddenly appeared on her waist to support her.

After all this tossing, it was already the middle of the night, Jinse didn't have the mind to rest, but she listened to Su Mo's persuasion that the journey back to Beijing would take a day or two, and she had to recover her energy, so she returned to the room, feeling restless He was lying on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Song Heng stayed in Su Mo's room, and he could almost hear Jinse tossing and turning through the wall.

Looking up at Su Mo, Song Heng took the pen and paper, and wrote on it: "Are you really going to take her back to Beijing?"

Su Mo took a look, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, lowered his voice and said helplessly: "I know that going back to the capital will be difficult and dangerous, but it is impossible for her not to go back. As for Mr. Song, you can Dress up in disguise and go back to Beijing with us."

Song Heng thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

Su Mo laughed: "Actually, when I first saw Mr. Song, I wondered who Mr. Song really is. I wonder if Mr. Song is willing to tell the truth?"

Hearing this, Song Heng raised his head and took a deep look at him, but in the end, he remained unmoved.

Even though his body has been injured in many places, this person still looks luxurious and elegant, not even half embarrassed, and has an extraordinary bearing.Su Mo didn't ask further, and said again: "Then, how much does Mr. Song know about Song Hou's accident?"

Song Heng didn't hesitate at this time, and wrote: "I don't know anything."

Su Mo believed: "Since that's the case, Mr. Song is going here, take care all the way."

About two hours later, the first rooster crowed from the direction of the backyard of the inn, and Jin Se suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up, almost rushing to Su Mo's room: "It's dawn, let's set off."

"Okay." Su Mo never stopped, seeing her rushing over, he took the simple luggage, "Let's go."

"Where is Song Heng?" Jinse realized that Song Heng was no longer in the room, and asked hurriedly.

"He left first." Su Mo lightly supported Jinse's arm and led her out of the room.

While following him down, Jinse asked anxiously, "Where did he go?"

"It doesn't matter where you go. As long as he is not in the capital, no matter what happens in the future, he will be taken care of when he is away." Su Mo looked back at Jinse, "So, you don't need to worry about him."

Jinse thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.

After leaving the inn, the two galloped their horses all the way. Jinse was impatient and swung the whip fast, while Su Mo was calm and unhurried, but he was always at the position of a horse behind her, never far away.

After a day and night, the two finally arrived in the capital.

After dressing up in disguise and taking Su Mo in front, Jinse easily entered the city.

As soon as she entered the city, she hurried to the Andinghou's Mansion, but Su Mo suddenly stretched out his hand to rein in her horse, and said, "The Andinghou's Mansion is empty at this time, and it's useless for you to go back to Qin Dynasty with me." Palace."

Jinse thought for a while, then suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll go find Luhe."

"Jinse!" Su Mo suddenly called her in a deep voice, with an unprecedented seriousness, "Follow me back to the palace, Lu He, I will send someone to pick her up."

Jinse stared at him blankly for a moment, then finally nodded.

After hearing the news of Su Mo's return to the mansion, Rong Yue came very quickly, and appeared in Su Mo's garden in a short while.

"The prince is back." Rong Yue hurriedly stepped into the hall door, looked at Su Mo who was standing in the hall, and said, "Have you ever heard that Marquis Anding—"

Catching a glimpse of Jinse sitting on the stool beside her, Rong Yue seemed to be stunned for a moment, looked at Su Mo, then looked carefully at Jinse again, and finally recognized her, and seemed to have many names in her mind for a while , but now it feels inappropriate to call her, so she smiled lightly after a long time: "It turns out that the prince brought Jinse back."

Jinse had neither the mind nor the strength to speak, but slowly took off the boy's cap on her head, letting her black hair hang down, and still bowed her head in silence.

Only then did Su Mo look at Rongyue: "I've heard about this, so Rongyue doesn't need to worry about it. You stay here with Jinse, and I'll go into the palace to have a look."

After saying that, he glanced at Jinse, turned around and went into the back room to change his clothes.

"Yes." Rong Yue took a step towards Jinse, but Jinse didn't seem to see her, so she stood up suddenly and followed Su Mo into the inner room.

Rong Yue turned her eyes, looked at her slightly in surprise, and finally evoked a helpless smile.

Su Mo took off his outer shirt only to realize that Jin Se had followed in. She was standing in the middle of the room, looking at him faintly.

Su Mo hurriedly changed into a robe, and came over to shake her hand. Just as she was about to speak, Jin Se suddenly said, "I won't let you take me into the palace, I know it's dangerous. But can you agree?" Me, try my best to save my father?"

"That's natural." Su Mo smiled lightly, and stroked Jinse's head, "You stay here at ease, and I will let Rongyue accompany you."

"I don't want company." Jinse said, "I'm tired, can I rest in your room for a while?"

Su Mo really didn't expect that she could be so calm once she returned to the capital, so she naturally followed her idea: "Then you rest, I'll send someone to pick up Lu He."

Jinse looked at him, and suddenly reached out and hugged him.

"Thank you." She said in a low voice.

"Silly girl." He said with a soft smile.

Su Mo entered the palace, and after inquiring, he learned that the emperor and Su Li were both in the imperial study, so he went straight to the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, not only Su Li was here, but also several cultural and historical officials from the court. When they saw Su Mo, they all saluted. Su Li's eyes were slightly cold, but when he looked at Su Mo, he smiled faintly: " Brother is back."

Su Mo smiled slightly, but Su Li suddenly looked away.

"Ah Mo." The emperor also called him, "You come back just in time, come and read these letters."

Su Mo just stepped forward and saw that there were still a few letters on the emperor's desk. He only glanced at them, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and reached out to pick up one of them: "This is... Word?"

"King Qin has good eyesight." One of the historians hurriedly said, "It is Na Yiwen."

Su Mo's face became slightly serious.

Nayiwen is a unique language of the Nayi people, with an ancient and ingenious structure, and there are no rules to follow in the ever-changing situation.When Qingyue wiped out the Nayi tribe, he obtained a large number of Nayi cultural relics, but none of the characters on them could understand.The cultural and historical officials of the two dynasties have studied it for more than ten years, but there is still no progress.

"Could it have something to do with Hou An Ding's rebellion?" Su Mo smiled lightly, and said, "These letters can be seen from more than ten years ago. How can it be related to the rebellion of Hou An Ding today?"

Su Li walked forward slowly: "Second brother really has good eyesight. But why didn't second brother think about it, this Nayi text has been lost since the Nayi clan was exterminated, why there is such a letter in the Marquis of Anding Could it be that when Marquis Anding led troops to encircle and suppress Nayi, he found these letters interesting, so he brought them back for study?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the cold voice, which was a tone that Su Li had never used when talking to him.

Su Mo lowered his head and smiled, as if he didn't care, and said: "I would like to hear the details."

Su Li's face was condensed, but he stopped answering.

The cultural and historical officials behind him hurriedly replied: "Back to the King of Qin, these letters were written by Mrs. Andinghou who passed away more than ten years ago. That is to say, Mrs. Andinghou is actually a remnant of the Yi clan!"

The smile on the corner of Su Mo's mouth froze slightly, but at the end, it slowly widened: "Really? From this point of view, the matter is really interesting. It seems that Hou An Ding not only conspired to rebel, but also committed the crime more than 20 years ago. The crime of deceiving the emperor."

"Exactly." Another official replied, "Back then, the Nayi tribe was exterminated because of rebellion and rebellion. The Marquis of Anding ordered the extermination, but he privately let a woman of the Nayi tribe go, and even married her and had children. The strange heart has not been exposed until today, but he has hidden it well."

Su Mo faintly felt his temple throbbing, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch it, Fang said: "In this way, Master Beitang—"

"Back then, the demon girl of the Nanayi clan had no status or status. It was naturally impossible to marry Marquis Anding. Marquis An Ding had always had a good personal relationship with the Beitang family, so he let the demon girl marry the grand master and wife of Beitang. Dear. Although Beitang Wensong insisted that he didn't know about it, the old lady of Beitang clearly knew the identity of the witch, not only did she not report it, but also concealed it for Marquis An Ding, so Beitang's family was also guilty."

"Incriminated?" Su Mo raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and looked at the official, "It seems that Mr. Shen thinks that the case has been cleared up and there is no need to investigate further?"

Master Shen knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "My minister made a slip of the tongue for a while, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"The matter has come to this point, the only thing left is to finalize the case." Su Li glanced at Su Mo, and said coldly, "Since I am investigating the case, the second brother questioned it so much, but if you have any good opinions, why don't you just say it and let me know why?" Brother, please refer to the details."

"Third brother, don't worry too much." Su Mo said with a light smile, "It's just that this matter is very important, so it's better to find out. I wonder if Marquis Anding has confessed?"

"Marquis An Ding hasn't confessed yet." Lord Shen interjected, "It's just that all the evidence in this case is enough, and there are witness and material evidence. According to my opinion, it is enough to settle the case."

"Personal evidence and material evidence can be forged, not to mention just a few letters, which are not conclusive evidence." Su Mo said, "Brother Huang, this matter is very involved, please don't make a conclusion lightly."

At the same time, Su Li also looked at the emperor with an extremely cold expression: "If the emperor cannot trust the younger brother, then this matter can be handled by others."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves heavily, sat beside him and stopped talking.

Then another Master Zhang spoke up: "King Qin, the ministers and others all know that Marquis Anding is the father-in-law of King Qin. If King Qin is preconceived and wants to protect it, he will inevitably be biased. Although King Ning's status is embarrassing, he is doing his best for this case. , really shouldn’t be questioned by King Qin.”

The emperor listened in silence for a long time, and finally interrupted them with a wave of his hand: "I understand what you mean. Ah Mo is right, this matter is indeed deeply involved, and the case cannot be closed hastily. No. Third, now you should send someone to find Song Jinse with all your strength, maybe you can find important clues from her."

Su Li frowned slightly, and glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo pretended not to see it, and said, "I don't know what's going on with Mrs. Song's side?"

"Back to King Qin, when Mrs. An Dinghou passed away, the second Mrs. Song hadn't entered yet, so she didn't know about it."

Hearing this, Su Mo nodded lightly.

But the emperor suddenly chuckled: "Ah Mo, I haven't seen you be so serious in so many years."
