"Where is Xing'er now?" asked Liu Xu after a pause.

"Living in a slum in the east of the city. Lao Liu said, "Is the prince planning to investigate this matter?"

"Why don't you investigate?" Liu Xu said coldly, "This matter is related to the real cause of the death of the concubine, if you don't investigate this matter, you will be ashamed to be a son of man!

"This matter is just our suspicion, there is no definite evidence yet, the prince must be calm at this time, don't startle the snake!" Lao Liu reminded.

"This king is no longer the child who has no experience in the world, and there is a sense of proportion in this matter. Liu Xu said, "You don't have to worry, you continue to wait here, if there is any news, you must inform this king in time!"

"Don't worry, prince. Lao Liu bent down, "As long as the old slave still has this old life, he will definitely help the prince to find out what happened back then!"

Mo Ziyu just looked at Liu Xu and Lao Liu from a distance, not knowing what they were talking about.

"Who is Lao Liu?" asked Mo Ziyu.

"The big eunuch in the palace of the concubine Niangniang, after the death of the concubine, invited himself to guard the tomb for the mother here, this guard is twenty years, and it is very respected by the prince. Qingyue said.

"I see. Mo Ziyu retracted his gaze, "How are you feeling lately?" ”

Qing Yue didn't refuse, and stretched out his wrist.

Mo Ziyu was silent, and said with a slight smile: "It's already a lot better, but the medicine still has to be taken to break the root." ”

"Thank you, Lady Seven. ”

"By the way, is there still no news from the Taoist priest you tracked down?" asked Mo Ziyu.

Qing Yue shook his head lightly: "I haven't found any traces, is there a mistake in the news of the Seventh Lady? As long as a person has lived in Beijing, it is impossible not to leave a little evidence!"

"This person should have appeared in the capital, and he has also been in contact with many noblewomen in Beijing!"

"Then there's only one possibility!"

"What is possible?"

Qing Yue was silent for a moment and said, "Someone erased all his tracks. ”

"On the premise of not affecting your work for the prince, you can continue to investigate. Mo Ziyu said, "If I have other news, I will tell you in time." ”

"Yes. ”

While talking, I saw Liu Xu and Lao Liu finish talking and walk in their direction.

Mo Ziyu looked at Liu Xu's face was not very good, and he was puzzled, what did Lao Liu tell him?

On the carriage, Liu Xu's face has been very gloomy, and his eyes have flashed with coldness from time to time, Mo Ziyu's heart is even more puzzled, and he asked tentatively: "Does the prince have something on his mind?"

Liu Xu glanced at Mo Ziyu, shook his head gently, and said casually: "This king is fine, don't worry." ”

This whole body is written that there is something in the heart of this king, but he refuses to say it, he refuses to say, Mo Ziyu naturally will not ask any more, and nothing has happened.

The carriage returned to the palace, and Liu Xu also followed Mo Ziyu to Qiushui Garden.

"Does the prince have no other government affairs to deal with today?" Mo Ziyu asked, he was busy on weekdays, and he had to have a day of leisure today, and he couldn't fight at night?

"Do you want to take this king away again?" Liu Xu raised his eyebrows.

"How is it possible, the concubine body is just strange. Mo Ziyu said, "But this body is like a bow, it has to be relaxed, the prince is too close on weekdays, and it is good to rest and relax today." ”

Back in Qiushuiyuan, Mo Ziyu asked his subordinates to bring hot water, replaced the half-wet boots on Liu Xu's feet, let him soak his feet, and handed over a soup woman: "Ginger and saffron are added to this hot water, and the body will warm up after a while." ”

Liu Xu grabbed Mo Ziyu's wrist, pulled her into his arms, made her sit on his lap, buried his head in her shoulder socket, and gently whispered in her ear: "Don't be busy with this king's affairs, you are tired today, take a rest." ”

"Lord Xie cares, and the concubine is not tired. ”

"Not tired?" Liu Xu's voice became soft, "Since you are not tired, then you will be the one to sleep at night." ”

"Waiter?" Mo Ziyu asked in surprise, "That'...... In fact, I was quite tired after walking so far today. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this king has put up with you for a long time, you have to always remember that you are the king's woman, and it is your duty to serve this king!" Liu Xu stroked Mo Ziyu's chin and said with a half-smile.

"Yes, my lord. Mo Ziyu said shyly and timidly.

Wuling Temple.

"Where did the prince and the seventh lady go today?" The princess described the most popular pattern at the moment, planning to make a sachet for Liu Xu.

"In the morning, I went to a roadside stall for breakfast, met General Mo, and clashed with two Gru. Then the prince and General Mo played a game of polo, and then the prince took the seventh lady to the Yellow Crane Tower, and Princess Yongle happened to be there, after lunch, the prince took the seventh lady to the Xishan cemetery. ”

Hearing the last sentence, the pen in the princess's hand suddenly fell: "What did you say? The prince actually took her to Xishan? What day is today? It's not yet the death day of the concubine, what is the prince doing with her? Why did the prince take her alone?"

"Maybe today's prince suddenly remembered the first concubine, and there is no special meaning. Lily of the valley said, "The princess may be worried." ”

"When the mother concubine passed away, although the prince was only five years old, this mother had a very important position in the prince's heart, even if he missed his mother, he would not take irrelevant people with him. Unless......" The princess's eyes narrowed slightly, "unless he has already approved of Jiang Liu!"

"The Seventh Lady has already been on the Royal Jade Butterfly, and the prince has to admit it. ”

That was what the queen mother meant, and now the prince took her to visit the concubine, which means that the prince himself has become her. The princess gritted her teeth, "We did underestimate this Seventh Lady, and we underestimated her from the beginning. She was pretending to be crazy and stupid, just trying to let my guard down. Now it's something I can't easily move!"

"The second lady and the third lady are all played with by the princess, let alone such a cheap maid!" Lily of the valley said, "The slave maid thinks that Concubine Su is a big threat, she is now a concubine, and she is still the biological mother of the son, although she seems to be not fighting or grabbing on weekdays, burning incense and worshiping Buddha, but she is the person who threatens the princess the most at the moment! It's a pity that she doesn't leave the house on weekdays, and she can't hold her the slightest handle." ”

"Hmph. The princess sneered, picked up the brush from scratch, and continued to paint, "As long as it is a person, it is impossible to have no weaknesses!"
