Chapter 516
After hearing Su Xuan's words, Mi Lian sighed faintly.
Su Xuan looked at Mi Lian with surprise: "Could it be that my Yin-Yang School people have mistreated you?"
Mi Lian shook her head gently. She bit her red lips tightly with her teeth, looking at Su Xuan in front of her, her expression extremely complex. After a long time, she made up her mind and asked Su Xuan: "Mr. Su, what exactly did my father do?"
"Could it be related to the State of Chu?"
"Miss Mi Lian is very smart, haven't you already guessed it?" Su Xuan answered Mi Lian's question.
"It really is related to the State of Chu..." Mi Lian sighed faintly.
Many things, Lord Changping actually hid from her, but she was not stupid, especially since Lord Changping often met with Tian Guang in the residence, coupled with the words her father often mentioned in front of her, warning her that she was a person of Chu.
She could more or less guess some things.
After being sent away from Xianyang by her father, she had anticipated the worst kind of situation.
Afterwards, she was intercepted by Su Xuan and imprisoned in this Yin-Yang School. Regarding certain things in Xianyang, she also learned part of it from the Yin-Yang School disciples, such as her father being dismissed from the position of prime minister by her uncle Ying Zheng, and now being critically ill, recuperating in the residence.
She knew her father's body very well; there was no problem at all.
So it could only be that her father's affairs were exposed; recuperating was fake, imprisonment was true.
At Su Xuan's place, she confirmed her guess.
Mi Lian did not hesitate and asked Su Xuan again: "Mr. Su, can you let me see my father?"
"I know this request is a bit rude, and I am not qualified to make such a request, but I really want to see my father!"
She looked at Su Xuan with a pleading gaze.
Su Xuan looked directly at Mi Lian and could naturally feel Mi Lian's sincerity.
After thinking about it slightly, Su Xuan finally nodded.
In the end, even if Mi Lian and Lord Changping met, it wouldn't affect anything. Although he didn't like Lord Changping, his impression of Mi Lian was not too bad.
It just so happened that Su Xuan also had some things to hand over to Ying Zheng.
So he took Mi Lian, who had been in the Yin-Yang School for a long time, and headed towards Xianyang together.
The surroundings of Lord Changping's residence were full of guards. These were all Ying Zheng's people. They followed Ying Zheng's orders and strictly guarded Lord Changping, not letting Lord Changping have any contact with the outside world, so that Lord Changping could recuperate well.
In addition to these people, many experts were hidden in the dark.
These experts came from the Shadow Secret Guard.
Back then, because he had been assassinated by the Luo Wang repeatedly, Ying Zheng felt that relying solely on Gainie, Su Xuan, and others could not protect him for a lifetime, so he established a new organization called the Shadow Secret Guard.
They were like shadows, always hidden in the dark, assigned by Ying Zheng to protect Ying Zheng's safety.
According to Su Xuan's view, this organization was quite similar to the Jinyiwei of the later Ming Dynasty. The rank of the commander was not high, but they had the power to reach the ears of the Son of Heaven and execute first before reporting.
It is estimated that when Xuanji set up the Shadow Secret Guard organization, he referred to the Jinyiwei.
When the news of Lord Changping being dismissed from the position of prime minister and being critically ill spread, many people wanted to visit him, but they were all intercepted, including the eldest son Fu Su. But Fu Su could not see Lord Changping, which did not mean that Su Xuan could not see Lord Changping.
In the end, Lord Changping's ending was related to Su Xuan. In addition, Fu Su's inability to see Lord Changping was also due to Ying Zheng's instructions. He did not want Fu Su to have too much contact with Lord Changping, and his purpose was to protect his own son.
Taking Mi Lian, they easily arrived at Lord Changping's residence. After stepping into the inner courtyard, Su Xuan did not continue forward.
Mi Lian returned to her familiar home, feeling some emotion. Finally, she headed towards the room where her father was.
When she pushed open the door, she saw a white-haired figure kneeling at the desk. He was holding a brush in his hand, writing something on silk.
"Father..."
Seeing her father, Mi Lian spoke softly, feeling some heartache.
Before this, although a few white hairs had appeared on her father's head, he still looked young. She never expected that after being separated for such a long time, her father would have aged to this extent, his hair all turning gray and white.
After Lord Changping saw the slender figure standing at the door, he was stunned, then suddenly stood up, ran to the door, carefully examined the visitor, his beard, which had also turned white, trembling slightly. He spoke repeatedly: "Lian'er, you are okay, it's good that you are okay, it's good that you are okay..."

"Father, you..."
Mi Lian had many things she wanted to say to Lord Changping.
Although Lord Changping had become extremely downcast due to various reasons, his brain was still sharp, and he was still the brilliant Lord Changping.
"Lian'er, I know what you want to ask. Don't be in a hurry, I will tell you everything!"
Mi Lian wanted to speak but stopped.
She came here, not to know all the secrets; she was more concerned about her father's health.
Seeing her father in this state, she couldn't be more uncomfortable.
Lord Changping closed the door of the room.
Then he took his daughter's hand and told her everything in detail.

Where should he start?
He started from the time of his own father. Although Mi Lian had known about her father's obsession with the State of Chu a long time ago, she had never known the reason as clearly as she did at this moment.
Outside, Su Xuan stood in the courtyard, waiting quietly.
With his strength, even if Lord Changping and Mi Lian were in the room, and the doors and windows were closed, if he really wanted to know, he could still overhear what they were saying.
But Su Xuan had no interest in this.
After waiting for a long time, Lord Changping and Mi Lian had not seen each other for a long time and had many things to say. Or rather, although Lord Changping was only imprisoned and Ying Zheng had not dealt with him, given the crimes he had committed...
He basically had no way to survive.
Ying Zheng would execute him sooner or later.
This was very likely the last time he would see Mi Lian, so naturally, he had to say more and give his daughter more instructions.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed.
The door opened, and Mi Lian walked out with red eyes. The tears in her eyes had not yet dried. In the room, she seemed to have cried more than once.
Mi Lian came to Su Xuan's side and said one sentence to Su Xuan: "Mr. Su, Father wants to see you!"
Su Xuan was a bit surprised, not expecting Lord Changping to still have the mood to see him, the culprit.
But after thinking about it, he still stepped forward, preparing to see Lord Changping and see what he had to say.
