The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 422

Marquis Zhao Ren couldn't help showing a trace of pity in his eyes when he thought of this, but it was only for a moment. He first said: "His Royal Highness King An, please sit down."

Although I don't know why King An came here, but the visitor is a guest, so there must be some way of hospitality.

He also had a guess in his heart that this King An was most likely here to borrow things. After all, everyone in the capital knew that King An was very knowledgeable, whether it was an anthology, history books or military books, this King An had collected them all.

He would even go to Befu to borrow books from his collection. He has a few military books that cannot be bought outside. If King An wants to borrow them, although he is reluctant to part with them, he also feels that there is nothing wrong with them.

"What's the matter with His Royal Highness King An?" Zhao Renhou asked, and poured a cup of brewed tea to King An.

This tea is not a defective product, it's just that Marquis Zhao Ren didn't like any tea ceremony and knew very little about it, so no matter what kind of tea he brewed, he would drink it directly, and he didn't care about the taste.

Yan Xuan didn't mean to dislike it. After taking it, he sipped it lightly and commented: "Good tea."

These words made Zhao Renhou a little surprised, what kind of tea can make these literati all say good tea?

He remembered that it was tea bought casually outside, and he took a sip himself. He didn't think it was good or bad, but it really quenched his thirst.

"Master Hou, this king came this time to inform Lord Hou of something." Yan Xuan's complexion softened a little, and he no longer smiled as warmly as before, and his face was a little more solemn.

Marquis Zhaoren paused for a moment, then put down his teacup and looked at King An, probably because he was going to ask him to borrow a book.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously glanced at the bookshelf where I had collected books, swayed my sleeves slightly, sat upright and said, "His Royal Highness, please tell me, the old minister is all ears."

"I heard from my sister, Princess Anguo, that there have been rumors about Miss Sun Rou in the palace recently. This incident has alarmed everyone in the Department of Internal Security. Presumably His Majesty wants to thoroughly investigate this matter." Yan Xuan said calmly and calmly. As if talking about something irrelevant.

While talking, he watched Zhao Renhou's expression, even the slightest look in his eyes.

Sure enough, Marquis Zhaoren couldn't sit still after hearing the word Sun Rou, and even wanted to stand up, but the calmness that an old minister should have suppressed this impulse.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Zhao Renhou subconsciously reached out and grabbed the teacup to cover up his uneasiness. After taking a sip of tea to suppress his shock, he said, "Oh? What is there to investigate about hanging himself?"

"Miss Sun Rou died in Lord Hou's mansion. There must be a lot of suspicion in Zhaorenhou's mansion at this time." Yan Xuan continued to speak, but his tone could not detect emotion.

Perhaps because of being annoyed by these words, Marquis Zhaoren put the teacup away and snorted coldly: "Could it be that this Marquis strangled her to death? These works are becoming more and more useless, strangled and hanged Can't tell the difference?"

"This Miss Sun Rou was hanged, but..." Yan Xuan stopped at this point, without any intention of continuing, as if to whet Zhao Renhou's appetite.

However, Marquis Zhaoren also followed the same pattern, and he became nervous immediately, and hurriedly asked, "It's just what?"

"Master Hou, this Miss Sun Rou did not commit suicide. She left a letter before coming to the Hou Mansion. This king knows that Master Hou did this to save the face of the Hou Mansion, but it is indeed inappropriate to act like this."

The implication of these words was that Sun Rou was confirmed to be killed by Marquis Zhao Ren, and King An's attitude seemed to have confirmed it.
