When he returned to the Lin Mansion, Lin Jiang had packed out two empty rooms. Rong Chu thanked him and went to rest after crying a few times. As a result, only Lin Jiang and Ning were left in Ning Ke's room.

Ke.

"I thought I would never see you again."

Lin Jiang closed the door lightly, turned around and sat down, his eyes lingeringly swept over Ning Ke's cheek. After a long time, he sighed, "You have lost weight."

Over the past year, the imperial city has been intrigued and quarreling with each other, like rootless duckweeds rippling in the rough water, ups and downs, following the waves. She has lost weight, not only her body, but also the heart that once was full and harmonious in the piano.

Chess, calligraphy and painting, a carefree heart.

After a long silence, Ning Ke didn't know what to say, and his heart was extremely restrained. He had clearly imagined countless times in his mind of his father being released from prison, and the father and daughter being reunited, but on this day, he finally felt that he was missing her.

The things I thought were so unreal.

The dream of father and daughter reunited was so beautiful that she couldn't believe it.

"Dad..." Ning Ke tried to call out. The person in front of him smiled as brightly as before, but the old and new scars that could not be covered made Ning Ke feel a sharp pain in his heart.

The dungeon was dark, and I couldn't see clearly when there were so many wounds on my father's body.

Noticing Ning Ke's eyes, Lin Jiang chuckled and looked away, "It's nothing to worry about, they are just minor injuries." Then he deliberately lowered his voice, mixed with inexplicable worry, "Your Highness knows that you...

"

"I don't know." Ning Ke knew what Lin Jiang was going to ask and replied quickly, but she was also secretly troubled by her reaction. Her father was the person closest to her, but now because of Rong Chu, she had lied to her for the first time.

's dad.

He raised his eyes slightly, met Lin Jiang's suspicious eyes, and explained again and again, "My daughter entered the Guoxue Academy under a pseudonym, and she didn't get to know His Highness until she became the Prime Minister. However, His Highness does not know my daughter's identity."

The night is quiet and beautiful, so beautiful that I can't bear to fall asleep.

After Ning Ke said these words, she could not help but feel agitated. However, the chirping of new insects outside the window made it increasingly difficult for her to calm down.

After hearing what Ning Ke said, Lin Jiang no longer dwelled on this topic. He changed the subject and said, "Did you read the map I gave you?"

"Speaking of this, my daughter forgot about it." Ning Ke took out the map from his pocket and handed it to Lin Jiang close to the oil lamp. "My daughter really can't understand where the map is."

Lin Jiang took the map, unfolded it and scanned it carefully up and down under the lamp, frowning as if in deep thought, and finally folded a few folds and handed it back to Ning Ke. He chuckled and said, "That's it, maybe you won't need it after all.

To it. Ruge, daddy hopes--you never need to use it."

With a solemn look on his face, which was incompatible with the soft moonlight outside the window, Ning Ke sighed and took the map - knowing that this would be the result.

When she just folded the map out of the croissant knife and handed it to Rong Chu, she remembered that she had seen her father fold a strange thing when she was young. After folding a few folds, a map appeared, which made her very curious. When

Later, she casually asked her father, but her father just gave her an excuse and dismissed her, so she put it aside.

Until today, my father mentioned the claw knife again, and suddenly he remembered that he had been hiding under the eaves of the corridor, watching his father carefully holding the paper as if it were a treasure, and folding it again and again with a faint urgency in his eyes - so that he could give it to Rong.

A map like Chu Yifeng.

Although based on her intuition, she felt that the map in Rong Chu's hand might be vaguely related to the one given to her by her father.

"It's late at night, and we have to go on a journey tomorrow." Lin Jiang held Ning Ke's hand hard and refused to let go, "Go to bed early."

"Yes." Ning Ke had rarely had such a conversation with Lin Jiang in these years, and his heart was already ups and downs. Seeing Lin Jiang say this, he held Lin Jiang's hand and said with some emotion, "Dad, stay with me.

I."

"Hey." Lin Jiang smiled and pushed Ning Ke towards the small couch, "Dad will stay with you."

The dream of this night was a rare tranquility. There were no more weapons and fire, and no edge between life and death. Only the red lotus and white lotus in the big lotus tank in the front yard when I was young were bathing in the breeze and the clear dew, and the sweet sounds of my parents.

Ballads...

The next day, when he hurriedly ate some food and headed to Shanghai, Ning Ke wrote a letter and sent it back to the imperial city.

The letter said, "Sun Kang and Liu Zhiyi colluded with each other, abused craftsmen, forced Du's officials to death, took bribes, set up princes, built underground palaces privately, and committed treason and collaboration with the enemy... All ministers who dare not disobey when ordered by the emperor will be killed."

When this letter arrived at the imperial city, Rong Chu and Ning Ke were still delayed on their way to Shanghai.

The scenery was beautiful and they were in a rare good mood, so the two hit it off and stayed for a few more days. While they were still in Jiangnan, they received a reply from the Imperial City. This time it was Zi Lian who brought the reply.

"The emperor read the letter and asked me to bring this letter." Zi Lian casually sat down next to Ning Ke and handed a copy of the letter to Rong Chu. Rong Chu thought about it and handed it to Ning Ke.

Ask Zi Liandao, "How is the state of the imperial city?"

"The emperor is afraid that he is going to disturb the imperial city." Zi Lian said concisely and concisely, "The heads of the six departments were demoted and replaced, and even Huang Qiusheng was affected. When the emperor first received this letter, some people speculated that the emperor would become angry after
