When he returned to Lin Mansion, Lin Jiang had already packed up two empty rooms. Rong Chu thanked him and called him a few times before going to rest. So, only Lin Jiang and Ning Ke were left in Ning Ke's room.

"I thought I wouldn't see you again."

Lin Jiang gently covered the door, turned around and sat down, his eyes lingered and swept Ning Ke's cheeks. After a long time, he sighed, "You've lost weight."

The imperial city has been intriguing and fighting each other over the past year, like rootless duckweed rippling in the turbulent water, rising and falling, and following the waves. She has lost weight, not only her body, but also this heart that has been harmonious in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and carefree.

After a long period of silence, Ning Ke didn't know what to say, and his heart was extremely restrained. He had outlined countless times in his heart that his father was relieved of his injustice and was reunited by his father, but on this day, he felt that the things he was thinking about were so unreal.

The father and daughter reunite, this dream is so beautiful that she can't believe it.

"Dad..." Ning Ke tried to scream, and the person in front of him smiled as if he had been. However, the uncovered old and new scars made Ning Ke suck hard in his heart.

The dungeon was dark and I couldn't see clearly my father's body. When did so many wounds appear?

Notice Ning Ke's eyes, Lin Jiang chuckled and turned his eyes to look elsewhere, "It's all about minor injuries." Then he deliberately lowered his voice, mixed with inexplicable worry and said, "Your Highness knows you..."

"I don't know." Ning Ke knew what Lin Jiang was going to ask, but he replied quickly, but he was also secretly confused about his reaction. Daddy was the person she was closest to, but at this moment, because of Rong Chu, she lied to her father for the first time.

He raised his eyes slightly, met Lin Jiang's suspicious eyes, and repeatedly explained, "My daughter entered the Imperial College with a pseudonym. She only realized her highness when she became the Prime Minister. However, her highness did not know her daughter's identity."

The night is quiet and beautiful, and it is hard to bear to let people fall asleep.

Ning Ke said this and felt irritable. However, the squeaking of new insects outside the window made her unable to calm down.

Lin Jiang heard Ning Ke say this and no longer got entangled in this topic. He then changed the subject and said, "Have you seen the map I gave you?"

"When I talk about this, my daughter forgot." Ning Ke took out the map from her arms, approached the oil lamp and handed it to Lin Jiang, "My daughter really can't understand where the map is drawn."

Lin Jiang took the map, spread it under the light and glanced up and down. He frowned and seemed to be thinking, but finally he folded it a few times and handed it back to Ning Ke, chuckling, "Forget it, maybe you won't use it in the end. Ruge, Dad hopes--you will never use it."

His expression was solemn, which was inconsistent with the gentle moonlight outside the window. Ning Ke sighed and took the map - he knew that this would be the result.

Just when she broke the map from the sheep horn knife and handed it to Rong Chu, she remembered that when she was young, she saw her father folding something strange. After a few folds, the map appeared, which made her very curious. When she broke it casually and asked her father, she just casually gave her an excuse to send her off, so she put it aside.

Until today, my father picked up the sheep horn knife again, and suddenly remembered that he had once hid under the eaves of the corridor. He watched his father carefully holding the paper as a treasure, and his eyes were filled with vague urgency and folded again and again - so he gave Rong Chu a map like this.

Although she felt that the map in Rong Chu's hand might have a vague connection with what her father gave her.

"It's late at night, I'll have to hurry tomorrow." Lin Jiang held Ning Ke's hand hard, reluctant to let go, "Go to bed earlier."

"Yeah." Ning Ke rarely talked to Lin Jiang like this in these years, and his heart was already ups and downs. Seeing Lin Jiang say this, he held Lin Jiang's hand and sighed with some emotion, "Dad, accompany me."

"Oh." Lin Jiang smiled and pushed Ning Ke to the couch, "Dad to accompany you."

The night's dream was rare, no longer the anger of swords and weapons, nor was there any brink of life and death. Only in the large lotus tank in the front yard when I was young, the red lotus and white lotus bathed in the breeze and dew, and the pleasant songs of my parents...

The next day, when Caocao went to Shanghai with some food, Ning Ke wrote a letter to Feige and sent it back to the imperial city.

The letter said, "Sun Kang and Liu Zhiyi colluded with each other, abused craftsmen, forced Du to be appointed to the official, embezzled and bribed, designed a prince, built a private underground palace, treasoned with the enemy... I was sent by the emperor and did not dare to disobey them, and they all killed them."

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

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

"After reading the letter, the emperor asked me to send this letter." Zi Lian sat down next to Ning Ke casually and handed a letter to Rong Chu. Rong Chu thought about it, then handed it to Ning Ke, and asked Zi Lian, "What is the form of the imperial city?"

"The Emperor is afraid that he will stir up the imperial city." Zi Lian said concisely, "The officials of the six ministries were demoted and replaced, and even Anthony Wong was affected. When the emperor just received this letter, some people speculated that when the emperor was angry, he would blame Lord Ning for the excessive killing. However, he did not expect that the emperor was doing this style of killing the mess at this moment."
