Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 542 Is He Aren't Afraid Of Being Suspected?
"As soon as water bandits are mentioned, he behaves very strangely. Are you even afraid that others will see his eccentricity?" Since Zhu Ziping left, Chi Xinian has been talking about this little doubt that the other party discovered.

In fact, Zhu Ziping didn't mention that she didn't think...

Now that I think about it carefully, when she first came to the Yamen and directly stated that she was ordered by His Majesty to come to suppress the bandits, the behavior of Xu Zhifu was also very strange.

Envoy Pei Qin was very normal. Considering her status, he always spoke according to her.

But what was Zhifu's attitude at that time?

Knowing that he already had many problems that were hard to explain to the court, he still wholeheartedly tried to dissuade her from suppressing the bandits.

He didn't seem to be worried at all, that he was identified as an accomplice of water bandits?
The most important thing is that, now that she thinks about it carefully, she can even feel Xu Zhifu's sincerity.He was really serious in persuading her, persuading her not to suppress bandits...

Chi Xinian rubbed his chin and thought about it: "If our judgment is not wrong, this Xu Ruxuan is actually a good person who has encountered some difficulties, so he sincerely persuaded him because he knew something?
"But at that time, wasn't it just her, Envoy Pei Qin and a few subordinates?

"If he knew something, why didn't he just say it?
"Could it be that he still suspects that there is something wrong with the imperial envoy? He doesn't want to say what he knows easily?
"But Pei Qin sent this person..."

After thinking about it, Chi Xinian felt that he seemed to have grasped an important clue, but also felt that he had not fully grasped the meaning of the deep-minded prefect Xu.

After a long time, she finally gave up.

"Forget it, anyway, there is a chance to meet him in private tomorrow. At that time, it's just me and Young Master Zhu who will ask, Xu Ruxuan won't be able to hide anything anymore, right?" Chi Xinian muttered in a low voice.

Having made up her mind, she no longer entangled in this matter.

After drinking the last sip of tea in the cup, she let Xin Yi come in to clean up, and then went back to the inn with him.

Feeling a little confused, Chi Xinian couldn't fall asleep after washing up, so he simply got up again and prepared his pen and ink, and wrote a letter about his analysis of the gangster's hiding situation and the strange places Zhu Xiaohou found, and sent it to the capital.

"Huh..." Chi Xinian exhaled softly, staring at the moonlight by the window.

She couldn't help but think, what is Yan Chujing doing at this moment?

Did the inexplicable marriage between the Xue family and Beiyan make him feel melancholy, so worried that he couldn't sleep?
Or, he is in a good mood and has already fallen asleep at this moment?

I just don't know, without her company, can he sleep well after falling asleep?
Chi Xinian thought a lot, and finally felt a little drowsy when the sky turned white, and leaned against the bedside for a while.

...

As Yan Chujing commented, although Lord Zhu Xiaohou is not very good at strategizing, he is upright and can do things seriously.

The plan drawn up last night was completed by Master Zhu in a precise manner not long after arriving at the destination today.

He, Chi Xinian, and Xu Zhifu who were called away by them alone with reasons, the three of them gathered beside a wooden fence by the river embankment, holding an umbrella, watching the waves rolling past in front of them, silent.

He probably guessed that he was not called away alone to check the embankment, so after a moment of contemplation, Xu Ruxuan took the initiative to speak: "I don't know what the young master and empress have to say to the officials alone?
"Is it... a matter of suppressing bandits?"
