After returning to Prince Ning's Mansion, Ning Xihua did not dare to delay for a moment and went to the main hall to find Prince Ning.

"Old man! Old man! Hey, where are the people?"

"I'm here, what's wrong with you making so much noise? You can make me dizzy even when I'm just reading a book!"

Prince Ning pulled aside the curtain from the side hall and looked at her helplessly.

"I have something important to say!"

Prince Ning looked suspicious, "You spend all day eating and sleeping, what can you do?"

Ning Xihua was in no mood to argue with him at the moment, and quickly told him about Su Xu and He Louche's conspiracy.

Prince Ning immediately stopped smiling and asked her seriously, "Where did you get this news?"

Ning Xihua was speechless for a moment. She couldn't say that she knew it from Su Bi.

"Oh! Don't worry about where the news comes from. Just check with the military and you'll know whether it's true or not!"

Prince Ning was not in a hurry. "I will definitely investigate. It is not that easy to make any move in my Ning family army."

He looked Ning Xihua up and down, looking anxious, and said suspiciously, "You came back from the banquet at Linhua Palace, and you told me this news as soon as you came back..."

Prince Ning narrowed his eyes and said, "It must be the crown prince."

Ning Xihua's eyes widened for a moment.

"Humph! I was wondering why you, a lazy, trouble-fearing guy, defended him like that at the Wanshou Banquet last time. It turns out you've taken a fancy to him!" Prince Ning blew his beard and glared, feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Ning Xihua didn't want to lie to him, "Su Bi did tell me, but it's not what you think..."

Prince Ning became even angrier, "You've already called her by her name, what else can you do?"

Ning Xihua held his forehead with his hand, feeling helpless. "What are you thinking about? You haven't even started yet..."

Prince Ning stared at her, his tone slightly sour, "It's already eight characters, how far is that stroke from happening?"

Ning Xihua was simply defeated. She never thought that there would be a day when she would be unable to defeat the old man.

"The prince is not bad looking, but his body... If you had married him, you wouldn't have become a widow so early..."

Prince Ning looked worried. He was really worried about this troublesome daughter.

Ning Xihua rolled her eyes. Is this the point?

"No, if I really want to be with Su Bi, shouldn't you be considering the future of Prince Ning's Mansion? Why do you care about his health?"

Prince Ning looked at her with disdain, as if to say, "You little kid, what do you know?"

"What do you mean where to go? If you want to marry the prince, my Ning Palace will be your backer! Ning Palace has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic! This prince is also a king!"

Ning Xihua was instantly convinced. She had been worried that the old man had reservations about supporting Su Bi, but she didn't expect that he had already found a reason.

Old ginger is still spicy!

Seeing Ning Xihua speechless, Prince Ning smiled smugly. It's rare to make this little girl speechless. Humph, you give in.

"Alas, girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up!" Prince Ning sighed, and suddenly felt a little melancholy.

Ning Xihua hurriedly coaxed him, "Why not stay? I can stay until the end of time!"

Prince Ning looked at her well-behaved appearance, with a smile on his face. He reached out and touched her head, his eyes full of affection and love.

"Don't feel so burdened. You are just a kid. Why do you have to think so much? If you like her, go after her. If you both like her, you can be together. If the sky falls, I will hold it up for you. It's not your turn to worry about it!"

Ning Xihua felt warm in her heart and her eyes were a little sore when she heard this.

It's a great feeling to have someone protecting and caring for you.

She was still moved, but Prince Ning narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips, looking gossipy: "So, are you willing to tell me how far you two have come?"

Ning Xihua was defeated instantly, and shouted at King Ning, "You'd better go and investigate the real matter! Goodbye!"

After saying this, she ran out of the main hall and returned to her Yan Gui Ju.

Prince Ning looked at her lively back, smiled and shook his head. This child...

Thinking of what Xizuo had done, his expression turned cold again.

After keeping their heads down for so many years, some people might have forgotten how the Ning Wangfu got the title of Prince! If he sets his sights on the Ning Wangfu, don't blame him for being ruthless.

………

On this day, Ning Xihua arrived at Linhua Palace as usual.

"What are you going to do with the maid who stole your handkerchief?"

Su Bi fanned herself with a fan, pushed the preserved fruits on the small table towards her and asked her.

Ning Xihua slapped her head and remembered that she was in a hurry to go back home to tell the old man about the matter that day, and she forgot that Lin Mengli's maid was still tied up in the front hall of Linhua Palace.

"Did she confess?" she asked curiously.

"You're right, it's Lin Mengli."

Ning Xihua had a look of astonishment on her face. She picked up a piece of preserved fruit and put it in her mouth. While eating, she said, "The testimony of a maid is probably useless. Su Xu must have already taken care of Chen Fen."

Su Bi nodded, "Su Xu also asked me for this maid."

Ning Xihua looked disdainful, "He's trying to smooth over this matter. Did you give it to him?"

Su Bi easily pulled away the hair that was stuck to the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Isn't it waiting for your order, Princess?"

Ning Xihua didn't care about Su Bi's behavior and just thought it was normal.

"Don't give me that! You can't do anything to Lin Mengli with just such a small matter. Just leave it to him."

As he spoke, he stuffed a candied fruit into Su Bi's mouth. Today's candied fruit was a bit too sweet.

Su Bi readily accepted the food she fed him and nodded in agreement.

Ning Xihua's eyes rolled, and she suddenly felt that she couldn't let Su Xu get away with it.

"But it can't be given for free! He wants Lin Mengli to be innocent in this matter, so he has to pay a price."

Su Bi was amused by her vindictive look, "Okay."

It happened that the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice retired due to illness and the position became vacant. It seems that Su Xu would be happy to ask his grandfather to promote some talents for the sake of his sweetheart.

"By the way, I found one of Su Xu's spies in the Northern Frontier Army."

Ning Xihua was surprised, "So fast?" It's only been a few days?

Su Bi: "He was preparing to escort grain and fodder to the northern border, but he was discovered before he left the capital."

Ning Xihua was a little impressed. With such speed, he was worthy of being a big shot.

Su Bi raised the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyelashes, and said in a calm tone: "Since you care so much, how about we try him together?"

"Me? Interrogated together?" Ning Xihua looked surprised.

"Well, that person hasn't revealed his other accomplices yet."

Ning Xihua had never seen a trial before and was quite curious, so she nodded in agreement.

Su Bi turned around and told Huaichuan and Huailiu to bring the person over directly.

Huaichuan paused, folded his hands and said yes. Huailiu, however, was a little hesitant and hesitated to speak.

Su Bi glanced at the two of them, and the two did not dare to say anything more. They bowed and left.

Su Bi turned around and glanced at Ning Xihua, who was looking expectant, with a gleam in her eyes.
