Chapter 276 Reluctantly go down to find him
Chapter 276: In desperation, go find him
When Su Jinxiu heard this, she frowned and took Su An'an, comforting her first.
"Who captured him? Did you say anything?"
Su Anan slowly calmed down in Su Jinxiu's arms.
Yang Jiaojiao stamped her feet and thought about it carefully.
"It's the people from the Ministry of Punishment who showed the sign.
He didn't say what the crime was, he just took the person and left.
My father has already sent someone to investigate, and it’s time to come back.”
Just as he was talking, Yang Laicai came back.
It's just that he frowned and saw that things were not simple.
Seeing Su Jinxiu, he sighed.
"Jinxiu girl, it's not that I won't help you.
Who did your mother offend? The Ministry of Punishment couldn't find out any information.
I want to spend some money to go in and see your mother so I can ask her about the situation.
But the money couldn't be sent out, so they didn't dare to accept it.
Just say that it is an old case."
Su Jinxiu nodded and looked at them gratefully.
"Thank you Uncle and Sister Jiaojiao for taking the trouble, I understand.
Don't interfere with the rest, I will take care of it."
What kind of case is this that can involve my mother?
Su Jinxiu didn't know and couldn't find out.
She didn't want to trouble Uncle Cai and Sister Jiaojiao, so she packed up the gifts overnight and moved to the inn.
Leave Su An'an to Su Afang's care for the time being.
By the way, I asked about the situation.
Su Dali and Su Afang were shocked when they heard that Li Zhaodi had been arrested.
Su Afang hugged Su Anan and swore to the sky.
"Jinxiu, the second aunt next to me doesn't dare to say.
Everyone in this world will do bad things, but your mother will never do it.
It's not like you don't know her temperament.
If you are afraid of stepping on ants every step of the way, what bad things can you do?
Ever since I married into the Su family, I have never seen her blushing with anyone else."
Su Dali also nodded: "Yes, your mother is famous for her honesty.
Even if I talk about it from ten miles to eight towns, I can’t find a single fault.”
Su Jinxiu also knew that Li Zhaodi was not that kind of person, but the Ministry of Punishment must have evidence to arrest him.
She didn't want her uncle and aunt to worry, so she had to leave the inn first.
It was already dark, and it was raining lightly.
There were no pedestrians on the road, and the long, silent street stretched as far as the eye could see.
Su Jinxiu paused for a moment, then turned around and ran towards the Prince Regent's Palace.
In the huge capital, there was no one else she could inquire about.
The old prince was away, and contact with the Hou Mansion was cut off again.
The only one we can count on is Xiao Jingze.
Although I know that he is not very affectionate, I still want to give it a try.
When she arrived at the Prince Regent's Mansion, looking at the closed door, Su Jinxiu wiped the rain off her face.
Some were in trouble, and there were no lights or sounds in the house.
It looks like no one is there!
She squatted at the door, wanting to wait for Xiao Jingze to come back.
"who?"
The afterimage flew down from the wall and caught a glimpse of Su Jinxiu, whose face was pale from the cold.
His tone softened.
"Shopkeeper Su? It's so late, what are you doing here?"
Su Jinxiu trembled uncontrollably and forced out a smile.
"I have something to do and want to see the prince.
Excuse me, when will the prince come back?"
Afterimage was startled and quickly opened the door regardless of his injuries.
"The prince has been at the house all the time, why didn't Shopkeeper Su knock on the door?"
Seeing Su Jinxiu's soaked clothes, Afterimage couldn't help but panic.
"The prince is in the study. Shopkeeper Su is here to invite you."
Dead, dead, dead, if shopkeeper Su is out of the cold, the prince will definitely kill him.
He was punished just a few days ago.
There was wind at the feet of the afterimage, and he just wanted to take Su Jinxiu to Xiao Jingze as soon as possible.
He didn't even notice that Su Jinxiu didn't follow.
The huge palace was completely dark.
The cold wind blew by, sending chills down Su Jinxiu's back.
I almost suspected that I was not in the human world, but in the underworld.
I don’t know if she was hallucinating, but she seemed to have heard several cats meowing.
Afterimage flew to the study in a few steps and knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Su is here."
In the room, Xiao Jingze's tone was as cold as ice.
"Afterimage, go down and receive your punishment."
If you were fooled last time, will you be fooled a second time?
Afterimage nodded and responded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
He turned around to leave, but saw Su Jinxiu following him panting.
"You, please slow down.
I, I can’t catch up..."
Bang, something seemed to have fallen in the study room.
The next moment, the door was opened.
Xiao Jingze stood at the door against the light and looked at Su Jinxiu.
His brows were furrowed tightly.
"Did it rain?"
Su Jinxiu held up her hands and was still breathing.
Before she could say anything, Xiao Jingze strode forward, bent down and picked her up.
The next moment, the person had flown away.
All that was left was a cold word.
"Hot water, dry clothes, ginger soup."
After the image became clear, he nodded and left.
Xiao Jingze sent Su Jinxiu to the room, and soon, Afterimage brought hot water.
Looking at the black dry clothes in Afterimage's hand, Xiao Jingze's brows wrinkled again.
There seemed to be murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, all the men in this house are men.
Apart from yours, the only dry clothes we can find are ours."
Afterimage was also helpless, but he tried his best.
Xiao Jingze took the clothes and put them in the room.
Looking at Su Jinxiu standing in front of the screen, she seemed to have something to say.
"Shower and change clothes first, I'll wait for you outside.
If you have something to say, say it slowly."
Su Jinxiu was indeed cold and nodded.
I took a shower and changed out of my soaked clothes.
Because she had something on her mind, she didn't take a closer look at what was wrong with the clothes she put on.
When I got dressed and came out, I found that the palace had changed.
What was once dark is now brightly lit.
Although he is still not very popular, looking at it, he has finally arrived in the world.
Arriving at the lobby, Xiao Jingze was already waiting there.
She quickly stepped forward and saluted.
"It's really helpless to disturb the prince late at night. Please forgive me."
Xiao Jingze was holding a bowl of ginger soup and looked at Su Jinxiu in a daze.
His clothes were too roomy for Su Jinxiu.
So, when people kneel down to salute.
A large piece of her neck was exposed, and it was so white that it dazzled the eyes.
"Get up, there are only two of us here, no need to be polite.
Sit down and drink ginger soup."
Su Jinxiu nodded and stood up, took the ginger soup, and sat obediently under Xiao Jingze.
"Your Majesty, my mother was arrested and sent to the Criminal Department.
Now that her life and death are unknown, I would like to ask, what was the crime that the Ministry of Punishment arrested her for?"
Xiao Jingze frowned when he heard this.
"Wangyue, let's go explore."
Xiao Jingze didn't know that he was arrested in the morning.
There are many affairs in the DPRK, and it is impossible for him to intervene in them all.
Soon, a black shadow flashed away.
Su Jinxiu understood that this meant asking her to wait for news.
The lobby fell silent, and the two of them were silent for a while.
Su Jinxiu was a little distracted while holding the ginger soup.
"Want me to say hello?"
Xiao Jingze looked at Su Jinxiu and raised his hand to take the ginger soup.
"It's cold, go and heat it up."
The afterimage in the darkness stepped forward, took the ginger soup and flew away.
Su Jinxiu was a little stunned. Although there was no one visible in this palace.
But in reality, there are people everywhere.
"My lord, no need to trouble.
I'm fine, Aqiu!"
Before she finished speaking, Su Jinxiu sneezed.
I felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
To avoid sneezing again, she pinched her nose and stepped back.
That look brought a little smile to Xiao Jingze's eyes.
