Seeing Xia Jinse go out and bring a rabbit back, Lan Beichen couldn't help but laugh.

"I knew you liked these things, so I'd buy you a bunch." He smiled faintly, "There are many noble ladies who like to raise these, such as golden silk birds, cats and dogs." ”

"I didn't buy it on purpose, it was a coincidence, it can be regarded as fate, after all, it is a life." Xia Jinse was checking the little rabbit, and was tortured by Princess Yuyan for a long time, if the secret injury was not detected, it would be easy to die.

Lan Beichen didn't ask much, since she liked it, she raised it.

The little rabbit was too frightened, and Xia Jinse made sure that it didn't have a broken bone, so he handed it over to Mu Xiang.

"Don't worry, the princess, the slave will take good care of the little rabbit." Mu Xiang was pleasantly surprised, it was rare to see such a cute little thing, and she happily took the little guy away.

Xia Jinse told Lan Beichen that she not only went to the Xiaoyao Mansion, but also entered the palace to see Princess Yuyan.

Seeing that Lan Beichen seemed to be smiling, as if he had already anticipated her intentions, Xia Jinse was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid you're worried, but it's really okay, I brought chasing clouds and shooting the moon." But Princess Yuyan is not seriously injured, and she still has the mind to abuse small animals, and I suspect that Wushuang's disappearance has something to do with her. ”

Lan Beichen said: "Since that's the case, then find someone to keep an eye on the princess." The forbidden army is in the palace, and it is convenient to secretly stare at Ganquan Palace. ”

It was already past noon when he came back, and Xia Jinse knew that Lan Beichen was still eating, just together. Four side dishes, plus a large bowl of fragrant seafood soup, eat a warm stomach, comfortable all over.

After eating and drinking, Xia Jinse was a little sleepy, and was about to take a nap, when suddenly Uncle He came in a hurry.

"Lord, princess, someone sent this box just now, saying that it was for the princess." Uncle He's hand is a wood-colored box, not big or small, and it is quite exquisite.

"Whose descendants?" Xia Jinse was a little suspicious.

Uncle He didn't know either: "It's not like a subordinate of anyone's family, it's just an ordinary person, and he left after speaking." ”

Xia Jinse suddenly froze, stared at the box, and came out with a restless pre-cold.

Chaiyun sensed her emotions, stepped forward and picked up the box and shook it: "Princess, the box is very light, it shouldn't be a big thing." She guessed something, too, and became a little nervous.

"Lan Beichen, I'...... I'm a little worried. Xia Jinse didn't even dare to open the box, for fear of seeing what he guessed.

She had just returned from the palace, and this box was delivered, didn't it prove anything?

Lan Beichen pulled her to sit down, took the box and put it on the table: "Don't think too much, it's not necessarily what you're worried about, if you're afraid, I'll open it and take a look first, and then I'll tell you." ”

Xia Jinse turned his head away, as if his heart was about to jump out, clenched his hands and took a deep breath and said, "Okay, you can open it." ”

After a while, Lan Beichen said: "Take a look, do you recognize it?" ”

It didn't seem to be what she guessed, Xia Jinse's heart moved, and she turned her head to look. I saw that there was a piece of torn fabric in the wooden box, which was placed indiscriminately, and she took it out to take a closer look, and it was cold that something fell out.

It is a pair of pink tourmaline earrings.

"Yes

Earrings like no other! Xia Jinse recognized it.

She grabbed the earrings excitedly, it was indeed Ji Wushuang's. She usually doesn't change her earrings much, just a pair of white jade droplets, a pair of pearls, and the rest is this pink tourmaline, so Xia Jinse remembers!

"Sure enough, someone captured Wushuang and now threatens me! But what is this man going to do? Will Wushuang be hurt by them? Lan Beichen, look at this piece of material, it must also be the clothes worn by Wushuang......" Xia Jinse's heart tightened suddenly.

This piece of fabric, which was obviously torn off the clothes worn by the woman, was sent along with this pair of earrings, which was clearly a warning to her, Ji Wushuang was in his hands, don't act rashly!

Lan Beichen didn't say anything, took the box and observed it carefully, Xia Jinse was worried, but he was infected by his calmness, and he tried his best to calm down. She knew that it was useless to be anxious, she had to find out who this person really was, and where Ji Wushuang was.

"This box looks ordinary, but it's not ready-made. Look at this process, which carpentry workshop should be made, there are not many carpentry workshops in the capital, and then judge according to the materials used by each family, you should find it. ”

Lan Beichen's focus is different, an ordinary box can also see so many tricks, he said: "At least it's a clue, check this first, and then talk about the next step if there is a result." ”

Xia Jinse nodded: "If it was really the princess who caught Wushuang, would she be locked up in the palace?" ”

"It's not impossible!"

Lan Beichen analyzed: "During the Chinese New Year, some of the guards are on vacation, and it is easier than usual to bring people in, which is the disadvantage of being loose inside and tight outside." I let Han Yang know, and secretly check on Concubine Yu to see if anything will be found. ”

The two were discussing when Shattered Star suddenly came.

"Lord, princess, something happened!"

Shattered Star's face was not very good, and he said: "Yesterday, my subordinates took Ji Gongzi to the alley in the north of the city to check the clues of the wreckage of the carriage, and then the subordinates left. I wanted to go to him today to ask about the situation, only to find out that he didn't return overnight. ”

Ji Xiao is also gone?

Xia Jinse stood up: "Have you checked, did Cousin Ji go somewhere else?" ”

Broken Star said: "My subordinates went to Ji Mansion for a special trip, and Mrs. Ji said that no matter how busy he was, he would send someone to bring a message back, but not yesterday, they thought that Ji Gongzi was busy with the case again." The subordinates were afraid that they would be worried, so they hurried to report to the prince and princess. ”

Lan Beichen frowned: "It seems that either someone is staring at us, or Ji Xiao has found something and has been discovered." However, it is unlikely that something will happen to him, at least for now. ”

"Are you sure?" Xia Jinse didn't expect such a thing to happen.

At the beginning, Ji Wushuang disappeared, but now even Ji Xiao is gone, who is the other party!?

"Ji Xiao has been handling cases for many years, ordinary people can't deal with him, if he has a background, he naturally knows Ji Xiao's identity and won't do it easily. Otherwise, if the court official dies, there will definitely be a thorough investigation, and the other party will not be so stupid. ”

Lan Beichen's analysis is very reasonable, and Xia Jinse put a little bit of heart.

"Ji

My cousin is also a well-known figure in the capital, and many people know him. ”

Xia Jinse thought for a while and said, "Broken Star, you take someone to check first, see where Cousin Ji went yesterday, and you might be able to find something along this line." There is also a carpentry workshop for the manufacture of this wooden box, which is also for people to check. ”

As long as Ji Xiao's whereabouts are found, maybe Ji Wushuang will also be found.

Shattered Star quickly took people away, and Xia Jinse sat down and stared at the box again.

She had just returned from the palace, and these things were delivered, which was really suspicious.

All afternoon, Xia Jinse waited for news in the room, and until the evening, Shattered Star and Leng Mo came back at the same time.

"Found it! Ji Gongzi went to the auspicious gambling house in the east of the city yesterday evening, and the steward knew him and remembered him very clearly. Shattered Star said: "But Ji Gongzi fought with a group of gamblers and ran out, and then his whereabouts are unknown, counting from last night to now, it has been almost a day." ”

Leng Mo went to check the carpentry workshop: "There should be five carpentry workshops in the city, this box is made by Yuan Ji Woodworking Workshop, they don't retail, all of them are directly supplied to some large households, or government offices, there are at least more than 20 in the past three years, including some yamen have also ordered." ”

"Is there anything suspicious?" Lan Beichen groaned.

"Investigating, but it will take time." Leng Mo said.

Xia Jinse listened to the words of the two, and his already calm heart hung again. Did Princess Yuyan do it? If it was her, her personality was so eccentric, would she have already poisoned Wushuang?

Thinking that she was so tyrannical to rabbits, and she had just been provoked again, maybe she would have beaten her severely if she took Ji Wushuang's earrings, or even ......

desperately admonished himself to calm down, but Xia Jinse couldn't calm down.

"Lan Beichen, I'm so panicked, what should I do?" It was rare for Xia Jinse to be so helpless once, she couldn't do anything, she couldn't even guess. That fear of the unknown is the most terrifying, as if there are 10,000 possibilities.

Lan Beichen asked people to go down first, continued to investigate, and pulled her to sit down on the couch before saying, "I know you're worried, because they are all people you care about." Although I say that it is useless to worry about it, it seems a little cold, but it is true. ”

"It's okay, there's me!"

He held Xia Jinse's hand and said, "I don't persuade you, you can't control yourself, you can worry if you want to worry, and I'll do the rest." If you're tired, you can rest, and if you can't control your thoughts, you can go and talk to the clouds and shoot the moon to distract yourself. I'll tell you when I have the news. ”

It seems that this can only be the case, Xia Jinse is helpless and happy.

At this time, Lan Beichen's calmness came into play. After all, it wasn't her who had an accident, Lan Beichen wouldn't care about it, and he could help her investigate. He is an outsider, a bystander, who can calmly analyze the situation and find out the right thing to do.

It may seem indifferent, but it is the most appropriate behavior.

Leaning on Lan Beichen's shoulder, Xia Jinse said softly: "Lan Beichen, fortunately with you." ”

……

Ji Xiao woke up faintly, only to feel a splitting headache.

"Hiss......" As soon as he reached out and touched the back of his head, he bared his teeth in pain.

"Are you awake?" A gentle voice sounded, and Ji Xiao opened his eyes suddenly, but because he was too fast, he also startled the other party.

A familiar face came into view, Ji Xiao couldn't care about the headache, and said in surprise: "County Lord, you are the unequaled County Lord, and I finally found you!" Of course he knew this girl, it was Ji Wushuang who Xia Jinse couldn't find!

Ji Xiao was just about to stand up, suddenly dizzy, Ji Wushuang hurriedly helped him, sat on the stool, poured him another glass of water, and explained a little embarrassedly: "Ji Zhutou, you are too heavy, I can't help you up." But how did they get caught too? ”

Only then did Ji Xiao realize that the surrounding environment was an unfamiliar room, the room was not big or small, and it had everything, not like it was specially detained, it seemed that it was just temporary.

He remembered that yesterday, after arriving at the auspicious gambling house, he deliberately took out the waist card and turned it in his hand, just to attract the attention of the other party. He wasn't sure if the person who lost the waist card was in the gambling house and was just trying his luck, but if he happened to be there, the other party would definitely find the waist card in his hand.

This is called luring the snake out of the hole, Ji Xiao was very lucky, and sure enough, someone came to grab the waist card after a while, more than one. I wanted to take the opportunity to take down these people so that I could extract a confession, but who knew that the other party couldn't beat him, so he dispersed in a hurry.

Ji Xiao chased out, and as soon as he rushed into the mouth of an alley, he was knocked unconscious from behind.

"County Lord, do you know where this is?" Ji Xiao asked.

"I don't know, I've been locked up for days." Ji Wushuang shook his head, but because he saw an acquaintance, he was somewhat relieved.

Ji Xiao said: "No matter how much, Cousin Xia has been looking for the county lord, and the people in the Hou Mansion are also worried about you, let's leave here first......"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of chains sounded at the door again, and someone came.

Ji Wushuang stood up suddenly in shock, Ji Xiao hurriedly protected her, but saw the door open, several guards guarding the door, and a woman in a red-clothed palace dress walked in, looking at them and smiling.
