The case was solved, and the officials took their leave.
Ning Shu stood in the chaotic crowd, watching Xue Qiongwei and Tan Sixian being escorted out of the palace by the imperial guards.
When she brushed past them just now, Xue Qiongwei whispered in her ear, "At first, I hated you. Second Brother's eyes only knew how to stick to you. I really hated you to death in my heart. But now, we're even. Thank you. If it wasn't for your advice, I would've watched Big Brother take the blame for me, and I would've dragged out an ignoble existence. Then I would've fallen into a demon's trap, repeating my mother's mistakes. Now, my life can be considered complete. With Big Brother accompanying me, I'm not afraid. There's only one thing. My Second Brother's heart is tied to you. I can see that your heart isn't with him. But after we leave, Second Brother will definitely be depressed. Can you not push him away for the time being? Wait until he calms down, then slowly let him give up. That way, he'll feel better. I beg you, okay? "
The young girl's watery eyes were filled with pleading. She was like a gardenia that had spent an entire night to condense a few drops of dew and carefully held them in the center of the flower. She was anxious and anxious, and she was burning with hope. This was her last attachment and reluctance in this world.
Ning Shu's heart couldn't help but twist. She only felt a wave of sour blood surge in her chest. She could empathize with the feeling of loving someone so deeply. She knew that it was reasonable. Even if it was to make Xue Qiongwei feel at ease, she should still nod. But using a lie to whitewash the peace could be even more harmful to Tan Siwei. Moreover, she had Xiahou Qing. He was waiting for her.
Ning Shu took a step back and bowed deeply. "I can promise you that I will do my best to comfort him, help him, and support him. But that's from the perspective of a friend. As for other things, I can't do anything. Please forgive me. "
Xue Qiongwei pouted. "Ai, I knew you wouldn't. You're still as hateful as before. I'm about to die, can't you even lie to me? Really."
After complaining, she waved her hand and said, "But forget it. Second Brother has a sincere friend like you. It's better than a deceitful woman. Ning Shu, I'll leave my second brother to you. I'll repay your kindness in my next life. Let's part ways here. Take care of yourselves. "
"Take care of yourselves."
For the last time, the two of them looked at each other tacitly and smiled.
This case that had alarmed both countries and affected millions of people in the capital had finally come to an end. The Prime Minister Manor had lost a life to the Southern Yan Kingdom, and lost a life to the loyal and courageous Zhu Family. Prime Minister Tan, because he had shielded Xue Hongyi twenty-three years ago and had not been strict with his son, had stepped down from his position as Prime Minister and asked to be removed from his post.
At noon the next day, Tan Siwei brought his brother and sister home with tears in his eyes and buried them in the Xue family's ancestral grave. Prime Minister Tan stood in front of Xue Hongyi's memorial tablet for a long time. Then, he turned around and walked into the peaceful place of Buddhism.
As for Ning Shu, after the case was solved, she did not go anywhere. She returned to the manor and slept until the bright moon dimmed, the sky was pale green, and the sunlight was bright. She opened her eyes and casually stuffed a few pastries into her mouth. After bidding farewell to her parents, she stepped on the stirrups and left the capital like a gust of wind.
After a day and a night, she returned, covered in dust. She didn't even have time to drink a mouthful of water before she hurried to the crowded "Zhang's Pastry Shop" in the eastern market to line up.
After waiting in line for four hours, she reached the end of the long line. Ning Shu carried the steaming hot lily pastries and mounted the horse again.
The horse's hooves hit Xishui Street, which was only one street away from the Prince of Nanping's Manor. After more than forty hours of traveling day and night, Ning Shu's eyes flashed with illusions. Her hands fell from the horse's back and her body leaned to one side, falling off.
A passing figure flew over in time and hugged her.
