Mengfei's smile is very charming

Chapter 964 Has reached the point of no cure

Regent House.

After returning to the capital, the first task is to heal Xia Houming and Li Zixuan.

Seeing Sheng Yaying taking care of Xia Houming herself, Su Guoer didn't lose her temper as before, but just sat aside silently, pinching her fingers with her little hands uneasily.

Seeing this, Yue Qinghuan said to Yu Qianche, "Let's retreat first, and let Guoer and Mr. Xiahou talk a few words alone."

Yu Qianche nodded, and was about to lead Yue Qinghuan away when Xia Houming stopped her.

"No, Your Highness and the princess should also listen to what happened that year." Xia Houming said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, His Highness will always have doubts about me, after all, I am what the virtuous king said." The person who killed the family of the best friend, in this way, it is impossible to employ people without suspicion."

Yu Qianche paused, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "As you said, Huanhuan, let's stay and listen to Xiahou's explanation."

"……Um."

Since both Xia Houming and Yu Qianche said so, Yue Qinghuan sat down beside Su Guoer.

"Presumably the princess and His Royal Highness also know that I entered the court as an official before I was a weak crown." Xia Houming said, "When I was young and vigorous, I thought that I could change the court and bring changes to the world."

"As a result, the imperial court I witnessed was even more corrupt and dark than I imagined, and it has reached the point of no cure."

Yu Qianche said indifferently, "I don't deny that."

In the summer before Yuhan ascended the throne, there was nothing but a prosperous and prosperous shell, but in fact it had already been eaten by all kinds of moths.

Not long after meeting Yue Qinghuan, Yu Qianche also pointed out this fact with the words of 'Brother Murong'.

The extreme concentration of power is the easiest to breed darkness.

Xia Houming sighed softly, and continued, "I still had a little fantasy in my heart, and I continued to stay in the court until a big case happened in the capital, and I suddenly discovered that this case was actually related to my best friend, Su Boyang."

When Su Guoer heard her father's name, her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

At that time, Su Boyang was in his twenties, already married and established a business. He and Xia Houming were candidates for the scientific examination in the same year.

"That year, many young girls disappeared in the capital, just like the young officials who disappeared one after another some time ago. Since the daughters of court officials were also involved, it caused quite a stir for a while."

Xia Houming narrated, "Later, the body of a young girl was found in the suburbs of Beijing. According to my judgment, she suffered a lot of torture before her death. ending."

"Unexpectedly, there have been such perverted murderers in the capital before."

Yue Qinghuan's expression was serious, the target of this perverted torture was a group of innocent and weak girls, which was even more shameful and hateful.

Xia Houming looked at Su Guoer, and said slowly, "After I saw the girl's body, I realized that I had seen her before—in the Su residence."

"At that time, Mrs. Su often held noble ladies' parties, and occasionally invited some folk girls who were rumored to be beautiful in the market. I felt something was wrong, so I conducted a private investigation. I found out that those missing women had once participated in Mrs. Su's this party."

Su Guoer listened to Xia Houming's words, and remembered that when she was a child, she often saw many good-looking big sisters coming to the mansion.
