Chapter 776 The Destiny Between People
Zhong Yixiu became more resolute because of Jiang Suining's words.
Noticing Jiang Suining's expression, he followed her gaze and saw only a carriage passing by.
Seeing Jiang Suining's eyes following the carriage, Zhong Yixue asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Suining retracted his gaze and said, "I just saw that the person in the carriage was Prince Su."
"Prince Su? Isn't he in Sanqing Temple? How come he suddenly appears here?"
"I'm not sure, but judging from the direction of the carriage, it should be heading towards the palace gate."
Although it was a bit unexpected, the other party was a prince after all, and the uncle of Emperor Xiao, so there was nothing wrong with him leaving Sanqing Temple and going to the palace. Therefore, Jiang Suining and Zhong Yixiu did not discuss this matter too much.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and seeing that it was getting late, they decided to leave the teahouse and return home.
When I was going downstairs, I happened to meet Pei Zhaozhi passing by.
The figure that had appeared in her mind several times just now suddenly appeared in front of her, and Zhong Yixiu couldn't help but stop.
Pei Zhaozhi also saw them and stopped as well. After greeting Jiang Suining, he walked straight to Zhong Yixiu.
"Ms. Zhong."
"Is there anything wrong, Lord Pei?" Zhong Yixiu calmed herself down and looked calm.
She had noticed Pei Zhaozhi when she first met him at the palace banquet.
Obviously they didn't know each other at that time, but Pei Zhaozhi was willing to speak for her, refute his father, and offend his colleagues.
Later, the news of her breaking off the engagement became a hot topic. She originally thought that Pei Zhaozhi would never speak up for her again, but when they met again, Pei Zhaozhi was still able to stand on her side and speak up for her.
Including Yi Yu's disappearance, she went to Pei Zhaozhi for help, and he agreed to her plan to lure the snake out of its hole. Although it failed in the end, during the short time they spent together, she still felt Pei Zhaozhi's seriousness, rigor and fairness...
The brief scenes of their time together flashed through her mind quickly, and Zhong Yixiu's heart beat faster, but at the same time, a voice reminded her to stay rational and not show anything unusual.
After all, she has already chosen her candidate, and if nothing goes wrong, they will get married soon.
Even if she really had some feelings for Pei Zhaozhi, there was absolutely no possibility between them.
Unaware of the turbulent emotions in Zhong Yixiu's heart, Pei Zhaozhi looked at her with an apologetic look.
"Ms. Zhong, regarding the posted notice..."
Pei Zhaozhi paused, halfway through his words, and suddenly he didn't know how to continue.
Should he tell Zhong Yixiu that he felt those two people were not the murderers, but due to the emperor's order, he could only declare the case closed?
But even if I told her, the real murderer is still at large. Before the real murderer is caught, any explanation will sound like quibbling.
"Master Pei, there is no need to say anything more. Lady Jiang has already told me everything. There is nothing we can do now, but I believe that Master Pei will be able to catch the murderer."
The trust in Zhong Yixiu's tone was so firm that Pei Zhaozhi was stunned for a moment.
Realizing that her words seemed a bit too much, Zhong Yixue quickly explained: "What I mean is that I hope the real murderer can be caught, and I also believe that Lord Pei will definitely track down the real murderer. Even if the case is closed, he will never give up easily."
"Thank you Miss Zhong for your trust." Pei Zhaozhi's tense expression eased a little, but then he became more determined, "Don't worry, I will continue to investigate this matter and will never let so many innocent women die in vain!"
After saying goodbye to Jiang Suining and Pei Zhaozhi, Zhong Yixiu got on the carriage. The moment she lifted the curtain, she turned her head and looked back at Pei Zhaozhi.
She suddenly wanted to ask the other party whether he had heard about her finding a son-in-law, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that based on the interactions between her and Pei Zhaozhi, it was not appropriate to ask such a question.
Finally, he just nodded slightly and got on the carriage.
Watching the carriage leave, Pei Zhaozhi asked Xiangjiang Suining.
"I heard that Miss Zhong is planning to find a son-in-law?"
"Yes." Jiang Suining nodded.
"Is it to protect the Zhong family's business?" Pei Zhaozhi continued to ask.
In fact, he wanted to ask Zhong Yixiu just now, but then he changed his mind and realized that there was no relationship between him and Zhong Yixiu, so it would be too abrupt to ask like this.
"That's right." Jiang Suining nodded again.
An indescribable feeling arose in Pei Zhaozhi's heart, as if he was a little disappointed and lost.
After realizing this, Pei Zhaozhi just felt strange in his heart, but quickly suppressed the thought. After saying goodbye to Jiang Suining, he continued to go to the Ministry of Justice.
Jiang Suining was walking on the street, thinking of the appearance of Zhong Yixiu and Pei Zhaozhi just now, and looked up at the sun covered by clouds in the sky.
The clouds were thick, with only a few faint rays of sunlight shining through, so faint that they seemed completely negligible.
She suddenly felt that sometimes the fate between people was like this.
After meeting, even if there is a trace of fate, it may not be able to continue.
Just like the brief leakage of sunlight, it occasionally dazzles people's eyes and makes them lose their minds for a moment, but it ultimately cannot completely penetrate the clouds.
On the other side, in the palace.
When the news that Prince Su suddenly requested a meeting reached the Imperial Study, Emperor Xiao was discussing matters with Shen Yanxi.
"Isn't the royal uncle at Sanqing Temple? Why did he suddenly come back?" Emperor Xiao asked in surprise.
Since he went to Sanqing Temple many years ago, Prince Su has never returned to the palace. He did not even show up at the New Year's Eve palace banquet. It is really surprising that he suddenly comes back now.
"Your Majesty, I don't know the reason, but Prince Su is still waiting outside, what do you think?" the eunuch who delivered the message asked cautiously.
"Please invite the uncle in quickly." Emperor Xiao said quickly.
Not long after, Prince Su, dressed in Taoist robes, walked into the imperial study.
He first glanced at Shen Yanxi who was standing beside him, then bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Uncle, you are too polite." Emperor Xiao stood up, walked to Prince Su, and extended his hand to support him. "Uncle is an elder, so there is no need to be polite."
"Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and the etiquette and laws cannot be abolished." Prince Su slowly stood up with a gentle smile on his face, "To be honest, it has been many years since I last saw Your Majesty."
"Although the Imperial Uncle is in the city, I don't want to disturb you as I think you are in seclusion. It is true that the Imperial Uncle and I haven't seen each other for many years." Emperor Xiao said with a smile.
Shen Yanxi looked at the uncle and nephew, bowed and said, "Since Prince Su is back, I will take my leave first and not disturb the emperor and Prince Su."
Emperor Xiao was about to agree, but Prince Su said, "Prime Minister Shen, wait a minute."
