Spring Water Cold

Chai Heng turned back to look at Luo Jin and said, "Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with her. It's her father who always wants her to be the prince's consort... But I don't plan to get married now. I just want to follow my elder brother and make a career."

Luo Jin: "... You don't have to explain to me."

She paused, "If I'm a nuisance to you here... I'll leave now. I just have some official business..."

Chai Heng was anxious, " There's really no harm, I just raised these for you to play with... Anyway, don't leave."

He Wanying was very angry, "You went around looking for these animals for her? You ignore me because of her, right? What's so good about her? She's just a lowly person..."

Luo Jin didn't want to argue with her, but when he heard her say that, he couldn't help but feel a little cold on his face.

She said in a cold voice: "Dongyuan Kingdom is not a slavery country. There are no lowly people, only common people. His Majesty did not say that common people are lowly. What is your nobility? Are you nobler than His Majesty? It turns out that in the eyes of Prime Minister He, even His Majesty is not worthy of him, right?"

He Wanying's face turned pale, "You... don't talk nonsense! My father is loyal to His Majesty, and you can't provoke him with just a few words!"

"Why are you so anxious? Do you want to say that His Majesty is incompetent and can't distinguish between loyalty and treachery?"

"You..." He Wanying was obviously not good at quarreling. She was so angry that she had to repeat one sentence, "People with poor backgrounds are really uneducated!"

Luo Jin said slowly: "You are emphasizing background again... Don't you have any other advantages except being the daughter of the prime minister? In other words, the identity of the prime minister is valuable, and you yourself... are worthless?"

"You are worthless!" He Wanying was furious and turned to Chai Heng, "Why don't you take care of her..."

"Me?" Chai Heng pointed at himself in surprise, "She is a minister of my father. It should be my father who can control her, right? If she says something about you, just refute her. If she says you are worthless, just say what value you have besides your father, isn't that enough?"

He Wanying was stunned for a long time and said, "I..."

Luo Jin added, "Your father is the prime minister."

He Wanying was furious and stretched out her hand to hit Luo Jin. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Chai Heng stepped forward and grabbed it.

"Don't fight!" Chai Heng said hurriedly.

"Humph, you are still protecting her!" He Wanying was extremely angry.

Chai Heng let go of her hand and said, "I am not protecting her, I just don't want her to hurt you, otherwise your father will definitely go to my father to complain. She is on the fifth level, what level are you?"

He Wanying: "..."

She suddenly realized that she couldn't win an argument or a fight, and she had nothing to compare with the other party except having a good father. And her good father was obviously not that important in Chai Heng's eyes. His father was the emperor and his brother was the prince. With these two backers, as long as he didn't go crazy and commit suicide, it would be difficult for him to live a bad life.

Speaking of which, it was her family that wanted to get married to the royal family more.

Chai Heng let go of her hand, took a step back and said, "Miss He, please go back. Please tell the Prime Minister not to mention the so-called marriage again."

He waved his hand, "Show the guests out!"

Several maids came forward, "Miss He, please go in!"

He Wanying bit her lip, and finally said nothing more. She turned around and left angrily.

At dinner time, Chai Jing laughed out loud when she heard about this, "You are still so good at quarreling. Next time I quarrel with someone, I must take you with me."

Luo Jin said, "She won't retaliate against me, will she? Her father is the prime minister, will she make things difficult for me?"

Chai Jing said, "It's okay, I'm here. He Wanying is very stupid and has no brains. At most, she will go out and say bad things about you to her female companions, and spread rumors that you have smelly feet. My brother doesn't think highly of her at all. The prime minister asked my brother what he thought of his daughter that time, and my brother politely said something nice, so he thought that my brother liked He Wanying."

Luo Jin said, "If you don't like her, the best choice is to refuse her early."

Chai Heng frowned and said, "I have refused many times, but she didn't understand... or She said she was pretending not to understand. You also know that we are all ministers, and some words cannot be said too clearly, which may offend people easily. "

He sighed, "I have no plan to get married now, and even if I do, I will not marry her. She is arrogant and ignorant... I fell in love with Qin Huaying before because I had not seen the world, but now I have seen the world and know what is good and what is bad. How could I like her like this?"

Luo Jin smiled and said, "It has not even been a year, and Your Highness has seen the world? Is it true that a broken heart makes people grow?"

Chai Heng looked at her, "I have seen beautiful things, so vulgar things are naturally not in my eyes."

The weather has been good these days, and Luo Jin's job is very leisurely, so he comes to play with those monkeys when he has nothing to do. It wasn't entirely because she liked it, but because she found that Xiaolian followed her and giggled every time she saw the monkeys snatching things, and her personality became more cheerful.

"Throw this apple in!" Luo Jin handed Xiaolian an apple, "They can fight for half an hour for an apple, they are really energetic."

Xiaolian nodded, picked up the apple and threw it into the monkey group.

Sure enough, after a monkey got the apple, the other monkeys rushed forward to chase it, running around in the woods, very agile.

Chai Heng was not at home today, but Luo Jin was not affected when she came to play. She played for a while and took Xiaolian home.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door.

Luo Jin was sleepy, "Who is it?"

Xiangxiang, who was outside, went out to open the door, and then screamed "Ah".

Luo Jin put on his clothes and saw a group of soldiers standing outside the door. It looked like something serious had happened.

A man walked in. Luo Jin recognized him. He was Zhu Rui, the censor of the Metropolitan Censorate.

"Master Zhu, what happened?" Luo Jin asked. He had a bad feeling in his heart. If the Metropolitan Censorate could send troops in the middle of the night, it must be a big deal.

Zhu Rui stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "Prime Minister He's daughter drowned in Changfeng Garden yesterday. The body was found at night. I suspect it is related to Luo Qing. Please come back to the Censorate with me!" "

Drowned... dead?" Luo Jin was stunned. "She was fine when I saw her a few days ago... Did she go to Changfeng Garden yesterday? I didn't see her!"

Xiaolian also ran out after hearing the noise, and anxiously helped explain: "I was with Sister Luo. We were watching monkeys in the backyard and didn't see Miss He."

Zhu Rui said, "I heard that Luo Qing was in Changfeng Garden yesterday, and Luo Qing should have had an argument with Miss He before, right? Luo Qing has both the time and the motive, so it is hard not to be suspected. This girl is yours, right? Her testimony is bound to arouse suspicion."

Luo Jin frowned, "That's all your guess. If you want me to go to the Censorate, you have to produce evidence."

Zhu Rui said coldly, "That's why I'm here to get evidence! Come on, search!"

The guards behind him listened to the order, entered the house together, and began to search.

Luo Jin was dissatisfied, but seeing that the guards were not rough in their actions, they knew to handle it gently. After searching one place, they immediately restored her to her original state, so he didn't say much.

After searching for a while, a guard suddenly came out with a piece of paper, "Found it!"

Luo Jin was startled, "What?"

Zhu Rui took the paper and handed it to Luo Jin, "The evidence is solid! Please come with me, Luo Qing!"

Luo Jin saw a line of words written on the paper:

Regarding the matter of the second prince, we will meet by the lake of Changfeng Garden in the afternoon to discuss in detail. He Wanying.

"I haven't seen this note." Luo Jin said, and he felt something was wrong in his heart, "Are you trying to frame me? I don't accept this matter. You are a disciple of Prime Minister He. You should avoid suspicion in this matter. I want to ask the emperor to review this case!" "

Review? The emperor doesn't have the time!" Zhu Rui waved his hand, and several soldiers stepped forward, trying to arrest Luo Jin.

Luo Jin took a few steps back, "I won't go with you, I don't trust you."

"That's not up to you!" Zhu Rui snorted coldly, and several soldiers approached, reaching out to grab Luo Jin.

Luo Jin flew up and stood outside the door in an instant. She looked at the courtyard and said, "I won't run away. I will go to the Ministry of Justice to surrender. I don't trust you. The Ministry of Justice can also handle this case. I trust Lord Jie more."

Her figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Zhu Rui was so angry that veins popped out of his forehead. He turned to Xiaolian, "Who are you to her? Since she ran away, I will catch you..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Jin's figure suddenly flashed out again, grabbed Xiaolian, and disappeared into the night again.

"There is also a maid." A guard said, "Do you want to take her back?"

"Take her back!" Zhu Rui said angrily, "To the Ministry of Justice!"

Xiaolian followed Luo Jin and said, "Sister Xiangxiang is still in the room. Will they catch Sister Xiangxiang?"

"Still can't you see it?" Luo Jin shook his head, "Who do you think put the note?"

"Ah? Sister Xiangxiang... Could it be?"

"She is a traitor."

She ran very fast and soon stopped outside the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

Jie Gui had just led people out of the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. When he came out, he saw Luo Jin and hurried forward, "You are here! I just got the news and was going to find you."

"Zhu Rui wants to arrest me. If I go with him, he will probably torture me overnight and force me to confess." Luo Jin said, "So I came to you. Can you protect me?"

Jie Gui nodded, "I can, but... you have to endure it and stay in the prison of the Ministry of Justice first. For fairness, I have invited the Supreme Court Minister, and he will be here soon. Remember, don't say anything before seeing His Majesty."

Luo Jin said, "I know this matter is very important to you . "It's difficult. I'm sorry."

Jie Gui shook his head and forced a smile. "I know what kind of person you are. You can't hurt someone's life casually. It's not you to kill someone because of a few words. Prime Minister He's daughter died, so he must want to find someone to vent his anger. You stay here first. In two hours, it will be the morning court. I will ask His Majesty to judge the case."

He waved his hand, and someone led Luo Jin along the road beside the lobby to the prison inside.

[Sure enough, Jie Gui is reliable at the critical moment.]

[With him here, this case should be solved soon.]

[After all, he is the first think tank of the protagonist group.]

[What is He Wanying doing? That note should be written by her, right? If not, it will definitely be found out. 】

【Xiangxiang has been lurking beside me for so long, just to leave this note today? 】

【Is she a secret agent of Hanyuan? 】
