Bandoff's face changed again and became a little bit blue. It was not that he didn't want to leave behind the boss of He Ji Casting House, but the other party was hinting that the Prime Minister's Office would support him in and out of the way, which made him quite concerned. In addition, He Ji Casting House did not bear direct responsibility in this incident, so Bandoff could not do anything to him.

Rick watched coldly, and he had already understood in his heart, but he was inconvenient to say anything on the spot, so he bowed to Bandow and was ready to say goodbye. Bandow apologized and smiled: "Brother, I didn't expect that things would be like this. At present, I can't act rashly, so I have to put this case aside and investigate the murderer who killed Commander Miao with all my heart. I hope I'll forgive me."

"Mr. Dido shouldn't seem to say these words to me," Rick said suspiciously. "It is the adult's right to handle the case, and I have no right to interfere."

Bandov smiled secretly and said in a strange tone: "Brother, don't be humble. I will rely on you to help you in the future."

Rickman responded and left the abandoned Tao family house with a puzzled expression.

He rode his horse around a street and entered the narrow alley. Rick was about to ride a horse and quickly drive away. Unexpectedly, a group of generals suddenly turned over from the street facing him. They were guarding a fragrant cart and slowly walked towards here. After a closer look, there was a blooming plum blossom embroidered on the curtain of the fragrant cart. Rick was too familiar with this mark. His face changed and he immediately ordered his guard to turn his horse's head and prepare to escape. Unfortunately, it was too late, and it was also a big mistake that the alley was too short. Before Rick's horse turned around, the fragrant cart was already three meters away.

"Run! Why don't you run?" A lazy voice came from the Xiang car.

Rick waved his hand to the guards beside him helplessly and signaled them to retreat. At the same time, the generals around Xiangche also stepped back. When the curtains were lifted, a bright and beautiful girl with fair skin and snow walked out. She was no one else. It was Mei Xing'er, a lady from Mei family who Rick tried every means to get rid of. She smiled and said with a smile: "I thought Count Xia Hua was not afraid of heaven, but unexpectedly she would be afraid of a mere little girl."

Rick whispered: "Miss Mei, we have only met twice before and after. The so-called engagement is also the aftermath of the elders. Why should you take it to heart? Let me go! Otherwise, I heard that a few of the top ten masters in the imperial capital have great skills and are handsome. I will tell you another day?"

"Have you finished speaking?" Mei Xinger approached Rick and asked two steps.

"It's almost done." Rick smiled bitterly. He realized that the other party's tone was not good. Maybe nothing good happened and was ready to escape. But Mei Xing'er gritted her silver teeth for a long time and refused to expose her temper. Instead, she smiled and said with a smile: "I've found out clearly. You are not afraid of white at all. What you said that night was purely a refusal."

"I know my illness myself. Don't hear the wind is rain." Rick didn't give her any chance to press on.

"I will never believe your words again. In short, our marriage was decided by our elders. Now that your elder brother has passed away, this matter cannot be changed. My aunt is planning to hold a banquet to announce this after the Gods Festival."

"How is this possible? I have made it clear to the Duchess, how could she do this?"

Mei Xing'er saw him pushing left and right, and only had one meaning. She didn't want to marry her. Her originally depressed temper finally broke out. She couldn't help but say angrily: "No matter what, no matter how much you refuse, it will be useless this time. My uncle will ask Her Majesty the Queen to give her marriage. At that time, I will see how you push it?"

Rick's face turned pale and he kept refuting: "I've told you that I can't stand white, otherwise I'll have nightmares at night."

Mei Xing'er seemed to have determined that Rick was not sick. No matter how Ren Rui said, she was not shaken. On the contrary, Rick's face began to be ashamed. Perhaps he had completely lost to this lady who was even more difficult to deal with. All kinds of refusals were ineffective, and finally he made up his mind and said sarcastically: "I think you must not be able to marry, otherwise why would you come to pester me?"

Mei Xing'er smiled slightly, without any angry look. Instead, she brought her white-skinned face over and said, "You can wait for the rest of your life to have nightmares!" After that, she left Rick with a gray face and led a group of generals away.

"How could he meet such a person?" Rick sighed sadly. This sentence kept circling in his heart until he returned to the Duke's Mansion. When he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, the more he thought about it, he felt the problem was serious. He didn't enter the mansion, so he rode his horse straight to the palace, preparing to report this to the queen who had just returned from hunting yesterday.

Ma Xingtu, Rick thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt strange: Why did he feel so unwilling to marry Mei Xing'er? This doesn't seem to match his personality of liking beauty. Is it because she is the lady of the Mei family? Or is it because he is a fake Xia Hua? After thinking about it, he felt that the reason was not sufficient. He and Mei Xing'er seemed to be wandering between being angry and admiring. He did not have any love for Mei Xing'er. As the saying goes: Everyone is lustful. But this mentality was blocked by the strangeness when they first met. But at that time, the Mei family told the marriage between the two families, unfamiliarity, and did not want to reveal their identity and potential unwillingness to bear it.

The mentality of being merciless made him feel a sense of rebelliousness. He didn't do anything about the Mei family. Therefore, he tried every means to avoid Mei Xing'er. According to Rick, most of Mei Xing'er's persistence in him was due to gambling. She had never suffered setbacks. Once she knew that the beauty she had always been proud of became a reason for a man to leave him, which was a huge blow to her confidence, so she tried every means to ask him to surrender. When Rick surrendered to her feet, it was the time when she lost interest. Therefore, no matter from any perspective, Rick could not and was willing to accept the marriage between the two families.

Since the Queen's imperial gold medal was given, Rick will certainly make "reasonable" use. Take this request to see the Queen, Rick quietly took out the gold medal and entered the palace directly. He did not let the guards report to the Queen when he walked to the post outside the imperial study room.

Queen Blue Moon looked at Rick kneeling on the ground with laughter and tears. Sometimes she really couldn't understand what this person was thinking. In order to enter the palace, she actually showed her secret gold medal. When she first entered the imperial study, she still had a smug smile on her face. Perhaps she thought she was smart and didn't have to wait outside the palace like other nobles or officials who privately asked to see her. She waited for several hours.

"Are you proud?" the queen asked leaning over.

"I dare not." Rick whispered.

The queen was too lazy to argue with him, so she waved her hand to let him stand up, and then said, "If you don't come today, I will summon you tomorrow too--"

"Your Majesty is asking about the assassination case of Commander Miao? Wei has obtained some clues." Rick answered first.

"What clue?"

"According to my private investigation, the person who killed Commander Miao was probably a man in white-clad-"

"The man in white? He is the man in white again." Queen Longyan said furiously, "The desperate people from the Xueyi Sect probably want to destroy the sect."

"Your Majesty knows the origin of the man in white?" Rick asked carefully.

"Bandoff has reported some information to me. It is said that the six white men caught in your mansion are the "Six Blood Charm" of Xueyi Gate. It seems that the one who killed Commander Miao was also the people from Xueyi Gate."

"But--" Rick was about to tell the details of Yuhonglou and Treya and Huang Youyi's guess about the murderer, and the queen suddenly waved and shouted, "Okay, I don't want to talk about this again."

Rick had to swallow the words he said. After a while of silence, he remembered his own affairs and hurriedly reported the situation to the queen.

"Don't you want to marry Mei Xing'er?" the queen asked strangely.

"I don't want to," Rick explained honestly.

"Why?"

"There are two reasons. One is that the reputation is not right. I am not the real Xia Hua; the other is that I want to concentrate on doing things for Your Majesty and have no plans to get married yet, not to mention that I am still young."

The queen nodded, probably thinking that Rick was only sixteen years old, so she said, "I will consider this."

Rick hurriedly thanked him. The queen waved her hand to stop him, and her words suddenly turned majestic and said: "Recently, the imperial capital accident, the murderer who killed Commander Miao must be caught. I hope you don't disappoint me. I have ordered the imperial physician to choose many good medicinal herbs to send to you, Commander Tang is still waiting for you to treat her."

Of course, Rick understood the meaning of the queen's words. If the murderer who killed Miao Qi could not be caught, his career as an earl would probably be over. Therefore, he hurriedly said.

After Rick left, the queen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and her whole expression relaxed.

At this time, Tang Zhaoxian and Concubine Ji Xue walked into the imperial study together. Tang Zhaoxian seemed to hear the conversation between the queen and Rick, and asked with a smile: "Is Your Majesty very tired?"

The queen shook her head and said, "You should hear what he said just now, and he almost spoke all the masterminds behind the scenes. If I hadn't stopped it quickly, with his habit of doing things without using his brain, I'd probably tell everything."

"Your Majesty is worried that he will openly fall out with several forces and cause the empire to split?" Tang Zhaoxian continued to ask. The queen nodded.

"Then why should your Majesty use him? He is so reckless that something will happen sooner or later."

The queen shook her head: "I need him to explore the way for me. No matter how much wave he stirs up outside, I believe it will be under my control. What I worry about is you."

"We?" Ji Xuefei took the conversation and said, "Your Majesty said that the experience of Commander Miao may also happen to us?"

The queen nodded and said, "In fact, if Zhaoxian had not had the special physique, she would have died long ago. You should know that one of you is my eyes and the other is my shield. Any accident may endanger me. Now the Gong Guard is in Zhaoxian's hands, so there is no need to worry about my safety for the time being. However, the command of the Gong Guard and the Imperial Guard is concentrated in one person's hands, which is not in line with the past, and sooner or later it will arouse opposition from some people. Therefore, it must be handed over to someone who can be entrusted. I have thought for a long time before I made a decision, but the final decision will depend on Zhaoxian's condition."
