Xia Sheng's expression did not change and lowered his head gently: "I don't dare."

Qin Xiaohua, however, made a smooth move and said, "Your Majesty, you know. Lord Xia has now made a mortal grudge with the Pei family. If it weren't for your decree, let alone walking to the Sunset Valley, I'm afraid that something would happen to Lord Xia as soon as he left the capital, so he dared to ask His Majesty for convenience."

Emperor Jin immediately teased Qin Xiaohua, "Why, the only Pei family actually made Shantang afraid?"

Qin Xiaohua couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "The old minister is helpless. If he hadn't been able to get rid of his body this time, I'm afraid the old minister would have followed Lord Xia to see the world. You know, the old ministers in the spring exams have been joining in the fun many times in the past."

Emperor Jin laughed: "I really didn't expect that there would be something that makes you difficult in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. OK. Xia Qing's request is indeed reasonable and well-founded. Since that's the case, I have given this order!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng immediately knelt down and kowtowed again, "Thank you for your kindness."

Jun Wu is a man who keeps his word. Emperor Jin immediately called his close servant and drafted an order, and appointed Xia Sheng as an inspector in Jiangzhou. With this name, no one dared to stop Xia Sheng from entering and leaving the Sunset Valley.

Of course, the Jiangzhou inspection did not have the power to dispatch troops. After the spring examination was over, Xia Sheng returned to Beijing to report his work, it would be immediately terminated. It would be obvious that Xia Sheng wanted to rely on his status to act as a blessing in Jiangzhou.

But for Xia Sheng, this was beyond his expectations and was considered an unexpected surprise. He immediately thanked him again, respectfully accepted the imperial edict, token and seal, and then stood up and nodded slightly to Qin Xiaohua.

He knew very well that if it weren't for Qin Xiaohua today, things might not have gone so smoothly.

This scene fell in the eyes of Emperor Jin, but he mistakenly thought that Qin Xiaohua was completely because of her good copybooks, so she helped Xia Sheng.

"Okay, if there is nothing to do, please leave. Qin Qing, stay. I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's stay in the palace for dinner today."

Qin Xiaohua nodded with a smile: "It depends on your Majesty's orders, but I also ask Your Majesty to allow the old minister to send Lord Xia out of the palace."

Emperor Jin nodded, agreed to Qin Xiaohua's request, and then picked up the bamboo pen on the table again and continued to sprinkle it on the paper.

Seeing this, Xia Sheng immediately bowed and said, "I'm going to leave."

After walking out of the imperial study room, Qin Xiaohua grabbed Xia Sheng's arm and whispered: "Before you leave, I have something to tell you."

Xia Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Speaking of it, I also want to ask you something."

Qin Xiaohua raised her white eyebrows gently: "Oh? Then you can talk about it first."

Xia Sheng took out a stack of letter paper from his arms, shook his head and said, "This is what Mr. Qin gave me before. There is Hu Shuo and the Xu family on it, but there is one thing missing."

Although Xia Sheng said this a little vaguely because the two were in the palace, Qin Xiaohua still understood what he wanted to ask, and sighed slowly: "The mouse in the house has also been found out. It is a priest named Xiang. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to ask more things and committed suicide by taking poison."

"Is it related to the mysterious forces in Osmanthus Lane that day?"

"have no idea."

Xia Sheng took a deep breath, then nodded: "Okay, I understand, what do you want to say to me again?"

Qin Xiaohua's face showed a heartwarming smile: "I know you have a deep relationship with Yan'er, but this time I go south, I hope you don't go to Qingzhou to find her. I want to see if she can handle the division over there alone."

Xia Sheng was stunned and knew that Qin Xiaohua had obviously misunderstood something, but he did not explain much, but just nodded and responded: "That's it?"

"And..." Qin Xiaohua slowly clenched the black jade short staff in her hand and said word by word: "Come back alive."
