Su Jinhuan patted Zhizhi's head gently: "Don't be afraid, Zhizhi, I will take care of everything."
"Slave, I believe you, miss."
Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Zhizhi opened the door to take a look and found that many guards had poured into Lanyuan. Zhizhi was shocked: "Miss! Outside..."
Su Jinhuan walked over, her cold eyes calm and calm.
"This is Su Man's trick."
The commander of the Imperial Guard took a step forward, the long knife in his hand extremely sharp.
"Why did the commander come to my little Orchid Garden today!"
Su Jinhuan pulled Zhizhi behind her and waved her hand, signaling her to stay at home safely.
"I followed the emperor's order and came to take Mr. Su to the palace to question him!"
"condemn?"
"Master Su, Second Miss Su has come to the palace to sue the emperor for killing her maid. The emperor wants you to enter the palace!"
Su Jinhuan narrowed her eyes.
Sure enough.
Is this Su Man's next move?
How vulgar!
"Excuse me, Commander, I'll let you go!"
Zhizhi hurriedly grabbed Su Jinhuan and shook her head desperately: "Miss, no, once the crime is proven, you will not be able to escape death! This is a crime of murder!"
"Zhizhi, don't worry."
Su Jinhuan patted the back of her hand: "Can you just stay at home and wait for me?"
"Miss..."
"Zhizhi, listen."
Su Jinhuan gently pushed her into the room and closed the door.
Turning around, she strode out of the yard.
Zhizhi's mind was spinning rapidly, trying hard to think of a solution.
"By the way, let's find the Ninth Prince!"
Zhizhi hurried out and reached the Nine Princes' Mansion as quickly as possible, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
"I am Zhizhi, Master Su's maid. I want to see the Ninth Prince! Something happened to my young lady, and I would like to invite the Ninth Prince to come into the palace."
The guard said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, the prince is out of the city today. I heard that spies from the enemy country have sneaked into the capital recently. The ninth prince was ordered to investigate the matter."
Zhizhi's feet staggered and she almost fell.
"What should I do..."
Zhizhi anxiously walked around in circles, and suddenly remembered that Su Xun and Su Zhe were still at home.
After hurriedly running back to the Hou Mansion, they learned that Su Xun and Huo Siyu had left the city together, while Su Zhe was ill and was still recovering in his room.
After much thought, she had no choice but to go find Su Che.
At least I can help even if I'm sick.
"Second Young Master! It's not good, Second Young Master!"
Zhizhi rushed into the yard, where Su Zhe was lying on the bed wailing.
"Zhizhi's voice? Why is she here? Did something happen to my little sister?"
The maid went out and welcomed Zhizhi in.
Zhizhi ran in, almost crying: "Second Young Master... something bad has happened. Today, Second Young Lady's maid, Chang Yan, committed suicide in front of the slaves and young lady, but the Marquis thinks that the young lady killed him. Second Young Master The young lady has already entered the palace and mentioned this matter to the emperor, asking him to give her justice."
"What?" Su Zhe propped himself up and turned to look at her.
"Now, the young lady has been captured by the imperial guards and taken to the palace to be questioned. If the charges are proven, the young lady may..."
"This is happening!"
Su Che was so excited that he fell off the bed.
Zhizhi hurriedly went to help: "My servant has no choice. The Ninth Prince and the eldest young master have gone out of the city to investigate the case. Only the second young master can help the young lady. That Changyan is really a suicide, but there are only two people at the scene, the servant and the young lady..." .We are really at a loss for words.”
"Find someone! Carry me into the palace!"
"lift?"
"Otherwise? Do you think I can leave now?"
"My slave is here to help you!"
Su Zhe had someone carry him over, and two servants carried him into the palace.
Zhizhi was extremely moved.
"The second young master really feels sorry for the young lady. Even though she is like this, she still wants to enter the palace."

imperial study room
Su Jinhuan stepped in and saw Su Man kneeling there crying.
Sitting next to her were Concubine Xian and the Queen.
Concubine Xian also comforted Su Man.
"Don't worry, the emperor will definitely seek justice for you."
Su Man's eyes were swollen from crying: "Thank you so much, Concubine Xian."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Su Jinhuan's mouth, and he nodded and saluted: "I see you, Your Majesty."
"Su Jinhuan, your sister accused you of killing her slave! Is this true?"
"Not yet!" Su Jinhuan said calmly.
Su Man raised her head and tears fell again: "Sister, you and your maid were the only ones present. If it weren't for you, how could Chang Yan be like this! Is it possible that you still want to say that it was Chang Yan who stabbed himself? Can such words really be believed?"
The emperor frowned, his expression ugly: "Su Jinhuan, you are not just the daughter of a courtier now, you are now the chief physician of the Taiyuan Hospital and an official in the court! If you really killed someone, I can't protect you!"
"I said it, but I didn't!" Su Jinhuan stood up straight and glanced at Su Man lightly: "My sister just thought that there were only three of us present, so she doubted Zhizhi and me. I can understand it, but this cannot be used as a warning. Evidence to accuse me!"
"What you said makes sense."
Su Man looked aggrieved, lowered her eyes and said: "Sister, whatever you say is whatever you say, I can't say anything to you. It's a pity that Chang Yan stayed with me for so long, and now... he died inexplicably."
"Your Majesty, a maid died peacefully in the Marquis Mansion, which was already arousing suspicion. Master Su cleared the air with just one mouth. It's really ridiculous!" Concubine Xian said coldly.
"What Concubine Xian said is really interesting. Master Su has to clear himself from suspicion even though he has done nothing. This is ridiculous!" the queen retorted.
"The matter has come to an end. There is no resurrection for dead people. Your Majesty, I only ask for justice for Chang Yan. Even if the murderer cannot be executed, it doesn't matter." Su Man said.
Concubine Xian held her shoulders and felt very distressed: "Look at you kid, you know how to compromise. You have wronged yourself, and others will not feel grateful. Since it is murder, it should be punished according to the law. As the old saying goes, prince She is as guilty as the common people when she breaks the law, let alone a small official like her."
"She is my sister after all. I don't want...I don't want to lose anyone around me again."
Su Jinhuan sneered: "If you really think so, you won't go to the palace to meet the emperor. Since you have already entered the palace, you are going to kill me!"
"Sister, how can you say that!" Su Man wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "You and I are sisters, no matter how you bully me on weekdays, I don't care, but about the long cigarette... I definitely can't let it go. Yes, I can't... shield you just because you are my sister!"
"Look at you, you know how to consider others." Concubine Xian helped her up, sat down next to her, turned and glared at Su Jinhuan: "You still don't kneel down!"
"Kneel down? Why should I kneel down!" Su Jinhuan said coldly.
"Su Jinhuan! In the final analysis, you are the biggest suspect in this matter!" The emperor said: "Until the suspicion is cleared, you are guilty!"
