Seeing with his own eyes that Su Qingyu was safe and sound, Lu Yun finally let go of his worries that had been hanging over him for many days.
But when he followed his eyes to Su Qingyu's hand held by Sima Yi, his eyes instantly turned cold.
Probably because Lu Yuncheng's eyes were too sharp, Sima Yi subconsciously let go of Su Qingyu's hand.
Unexpectedly, Su Qingyu was very calm and took Sima Yi's hand with her backhand.
She didn't even know what her purpose was, she just moved faster than her brain.
Sima Yi turned his head in shock and looked at the woman beside him.
Seeing her calm and calm expression, I didn't even understand what she meant.
"I have met His Highness Prince Ling."
Sima Yi nodded slightly, and Su Qingyu followed him and gently blessed herself.
Seeing the harmony between these two people, Lu Yuncheng almost broke his back teeth.
However, due to the footsteps approaching behind him, he could only take a deep breath and use his internal strength to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
He never knew that Yun Danfengqing's appearance could be so difficult to act.
"Hey, Miss Su and Mr. Sima are here too."
Before King Qi and Jiang Yihe came in, Su Qingyu let go of Sima Yi's hand.
She knew very well that she had some issues with Prince Qi and Jiang Ming. Sima Yi had just saved her, and she could not retaliate by letting King Qi target Sima Yi.
Lu Yuncheng's eyes were as deep as a valley, and they were going back and forth between Su Qingyu and Sima Yi from time to time.
So, was she worried that she would implicate Sima Yi, so she hurriedly let go of his hand and broke off the relationship with him?
It's just that she came half a day late. What happened in this half day that made her so close to Sima Yi and protect him so much?
However, Sima Yi was completely unaware of the gaze directed by Lu Yuncheng. He only felt that the soft touch in his palm was instantly withdrawn, and his whole heart felt empty.
"The daughter of the people has met His Highness King Qi, His Highness King Ling, and Mr. Jiang."
Su Qingyu wasn't quite sure what Sima Yi, who had always been groomed as the successor of the Tutor's Mansion, was thinking about at this time, so she could only nudge him with her elbow through her wide sleeves.
Sima Yi finally regained his composure and immediately saluted several people.
Others may not be able to easily see Su Qingyu's little moves, but how could Lu Yuncheng, who has been paying attention to Su Qingyu's every move, not be able to see it.
It was precisely because he could see it that his heart felt sour and numb.
The scene was eerily quiet for a moment.
King Qi was happy to watch the show, and he began to wonder whether the couple who had just divorced had lingering feelings for each other.
Just because of the time spent digesting it, Liu Renwu, who had been waiting behind him, finally came out of extreme shock and knelt down in a panic to salute.
King Qi then stopped watching the show and turned to look at Liu Renwu.
In front of everyone, King Qi asked Liu Renwu about the case of selling illegal salt.
Liu Renwu didn't dare to hide anything, so he could only tell the 'truth' in detail, and then wait for King Qi to come and punish him.
Su Qingyu frowned the whole time. Sima Yi was closest to her, so out of comfort, he lowered his voice and said in her ear:
"Don't worry, this is just a report on the current progress of the case. Now that King Qi and Mr. Jiang are here, they will definitely investigate the case and clear the Hua family's name."
Su Qingyu said with a smile but not a smile: "Master Sima has never been involved in this case. Everyone knows that my Hua family was wronged, but King Qi is very satisfied with Liu Renwu's report."
"Look at him, he is afraid that the evidence Liu Renwu gave is not enough to convict the Hua family, so he will bring it up to him from time to time..."
Su Qingyu's voice stopped suddenly.
She always felt that there was a gaze behind her that was always glued to her. When she turned around, her eyes met Lu Yuncheng's.
He seemed to have something to say.
However, Su Qingyu lost her will to listen to him and simply withdrew her gaze.
She loved him very much.
But love cannot make her lose her direction or herself!
Especially at this time, she had to keep a calm mind and not put anyone in the Hua family in danger.
Seeing Su Qingyu indifferently withdrawing all her love with his own eyes, Lu Yuncheng's heart clenched.
She seems to really not want him anymore...
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Liu!"
King Qi seemed to be very satisfied with Liu Renwu's return and made a decision immediately.
"Now all that's left is the final confession. Let's leave this matter to Mr. Jiang."
King Qi looked at Jiang Yihe pretending to be serious: "I bet Mr. Jiang won't be reluctant, right?"
Jiang Yihe immediately bowed his hands and said, "I have been entrusted by His Majesty. This time I am here to assist His Majesty King Qi in investigating this case. How could I not be willing to do so?"
"Please rest assured, His Highness King Qi. After your subordinates have reviewed all the evidence in this case, they will go and make a confession."
King Qi smiled but said: "In that case, it will be hard work for Mr. Jiang."
Everyone is smart, and King Qi certainly didn't believe that Jiang Yihe couldn't understand his subtext.
But Jiang Yihe's attitude was obviously that he was unwilling to act in accordance with his regulations.
Has Shangshu Mansion really given up on King An and joined Lu Yuncheng?
Thinking like this, King Qi raised his eyelids, but he happened to see Lu Yuncheng just looking away from Su Qingyu.
King Qi was slightly stunned. After looking around, he seemed to understand something, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This trip to Yongcheng seems a bit interesting.
"It's getting late today. Everyone is tired from traveling and traveling, so you might as well take a rest first."
King Qi is the chief judge of this case. Naturally, no one dares not to listen to what he says.
But Su Qingyu stopped King Qi before he was about to leave.
"Your Highness, King Qi, I have a heartfelt request from a daughter of the people. I hope your Highness can agree to it."
King Qi put his hands behind his back and had a playful smile on his face.
"Miss Su, it doesn't matter. As long as I can do it, I will grant your request."
Su Qingyu saluted: "The case of the Hua family has not yet been clarified and cannot be finalized. It is helpless for the Hua family to be imprisoned now."
"But my Hua family are all weak people, especially the grandfather of the civilian daughter. He is old and cannot withstand the punishment."
"I also ask His Highness, King Qi, to be polite. If you have any questions, the Hua family will fully cooperate and will not hide anything. I also ask His Highness not to torture them."
King Qi put away the smile on his face and pretended: "I understand Miss Su's worries about her family. It's just that in the process of handling the case, it is inevitable that..."
As he said that, he cast his eyes on Jiang Yihe: "Master Jiang should be responsible for this matter. Miss Su might as well beg Master Jiang."
Jiang Yihe said without changing his expression: "Don't worry, Miss Su, I will handle the case impartially and will not wrongly accuse any innocent person."
There is no difference between saying this and not saying it.
Su Qingyu knew that if she wanted to protect the Hua family, she had to find another way to do it.
The crowd dispersed, Su Qingyu and Mingyue left the government office and walked to the inn with deep thoughts.
Sima Yi's voice came from behind.
"Miss Su, wait a moment."
Although it was snowing, a blush appeared on Sima Yi's cheeks.
"It's cold in winter. Mr. Sima is already tired after running thousands of miles. You should take care of yourself and don't let the cold air enter your body to avoid catching wind-chill."
Hearing this, Sima Yi's eyes dodge slightly.
His face wasn’t made from freezing...
But years of upbringing helped him quickly regain his composure.
"Thank you, Miss Su, for reminding me."
"I came after you specially because I was entrusted by the Queen. I have something to convey to you."
Su Qingyu nodded and said, "Young Master Sima is here to help."
The two of them walked side by side and slowly walked towards the inn where Su Qingyu was staying. They never noticed that not far behind them, Lu Yuncheng was standing on the spot, staring at their backs.
