Chapter 180: To the East Palace

If someone dies in the inn, it will always alarm the government office, and all the relevant people will be brought to the government office for interrogation, of course, Chu Xiaoxiang and He Lianchen are no exception.

Due to the unique identities of Helian Chen and Chu Xiaoxiang, and the fact that they had only met and communicated with the deceased that night, the rest of the situation was unknown.

"Did you pick up the baby?"

"Yes."

"Who can testify on the night they were picked up?"

"My colt can testify because he was with me."

"Why are you looking for the dead that night?"

"It's true that we're two couples, but we're all novices, and we don't know where to start with raising a baby in advance, and she happened to be on duty that night and came to help us."

"However, we just asked the shopkeeper of the inn, and their inn does not have a cook on duty."

"No?!"

Hearing the county magistrate say this, Chu Xiaoxiang was also very surprised, if that lady didn't come to be on duty that night, then, what did she come to do?

"Yes." The county magistrate nodded affirmatively.

"Do you suspect me of lying? I lie to kill a woman, am I idle? "

"You didn't kill her?"

"We don't have any incentive to kill her, and besides, we really don't know each other."

Hearing their words, the adults fell silent.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

The county magistrate was very shocked, it was just a small case, why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come over in person.

The county magistrate hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and saluted His Royal Highness the Prince, who was about to ascend the throne: "The ministers see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose."

"Let's be flat."

As he spoke, Mu Xun sat down in the chair that had been prepared a long time ago, looking like he was just here to listen.

"You guys are tried, this prince is listening here."

Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here to observe, the waist bar of the county magistrate suddenly straightened a lot.

"Princess Ji, Ji Pony, when was the last time you saw each other that night?"

"I'm sorry that a kid made us dizzy, I can't remember exactly what time it was." Chu Xiaoxiang shrugged helplessly.

"Bastard, I think you're lying."

"If you don't think someone else is lying, do you have proof?"

"The official ......"

The county magistrate wanted to say something, but was overshadowed by Mu Xun's words.

"This prince also thinks that there is no need for them to lie, besides, they were invited to our country by this prince, what, do you still have to doubt this prince?"

"Don't dare!"

The county magistrate immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Mu Xun.

The county magistrate was still kneeling on the ground, but a person hurriedly walked in outside, he ran to the county magistrate, and whispered in his ear I don't know what to say, between the county magistrate looked at Mu Xun with a surprised face, and then looked at Chu Xiaoxiang and He Lianchen who were kneeling on the ground.

"But what's the matter?" Mu Xun calmly looked at the county yada.

The official who came to report didn't know Mu Xun, he looked at the county government, but the county government didn't dare to raise his head to look at Mu Xun, he shouted in panic: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's the minister who has no eyes, and the princess Ji and Ji are wrong."

As soon as he heard that the county magistrate called Mu Xun to be His Royal Highness the Prince, the official also began to panic, and he immediately lowered his head and said to Mu Xun: "Someone just said that someone saw a strange man in the backyard involved with the deceased, and it was the strange man who pulled out a knife and inserted it into the chest of the deceased, causing the deceased to lose too much blood and die."

Hearing the officer's words, Mu Xun still didn't have any expression on his face, but Chu Xiaoxiang's brows were deeply locked when she heard it, she felt that things were not so simple.

They just asked the eldest lady to help them that night, but why did the county magistrate talk to them after her death, it had nothing to do with them after all, didn't it?

"Since they didn't kill them, can Prince Ben take them away?"

said to be an inquiry, in fact, there is a strong momentum in the tone that cannot be ignored, and such a strong momentum is telling them all the time, do you have any opinions on my words?

"Yes can ......"

At this time, the county magistrate did not dare to say 'no', no, and he couldn't say this word.

Chu Xiaoxiang and Helian Chen left together behind Mu Xun, and before leaving, Chu Xiaoxiang also glanced back at the county magistrate.

"How did you know we were here?"

"It's not hard to find out what's going on with you, it's on my turf after all." Mu Xun turned to look at Chu Xiaoxiang funny, but seeing the hand that Chu Xiaoxiang and He Lianchen were clasping really hurt him, how much he hoped that the person who was holding Chu Xiaoxiang's ten fingers was him, not Helian Chen.

Chu Xiaoxiang was silent.

"Why don't you go to the East Palace to live, there are many houses in the East Palace, there are not one or two of you, and it is convenient to go directly to the banquet."

"But what about a child now? It's inconvenient to go to the East Palace. "

"Kid? What do you mean? "

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, didn't you tell you that we picked up a baby?" Chu Xiaoxiang said sarcastically.

"Baby?"

Originally, when he heard Chu Xiaoxiang say that they still had a child, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, but now that he heard that he had picked it up, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but fortunately, it's okay.

"That's right!"

"I see!"

"Or what do you think?" Chu Xiaoxiang said angrily.

"Do you want to go to the East Palace?" Mu Xun asked again, Chu Xiaoxiang wanted to continue refusing, but she thought of something, and then said to Mu Xun: "Okay, let's go to the East Palace."

Hearing Chu Xiaoxiang's words, Helian Chen's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked at Chu Xiaoxiang in disbelief.

Mu Xun, who also heard Chu Xiaoxiang's words, was naturally happy, he smiled and said to them: "Then go back to the East Palace with this prince now."

"No, not today, we still have a lot of things in the inn, we have to pack them up, or tomorrow."

Mu Xun thought about it, and felt that such a thing was not in a hurry, so he said: "Okay, then tomorrow, tomorrow someone will personally pick you up from the East Palace."

Chu Xiaoxiang nodded.

The carriage stopped at the door of the Fanghua Inn, and after Chu Xiaoxiang and He Lianchen got out of the car, they said goodbye to Mu Xun respectively, and then turned around and returned to the No. 1 room of Tianzi.

The little second is still in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, but the little guy is awake.

"Two guest officers, you are finally back, this kid just, but Xiao Er has no experience, so he asked the female guest officer who ate in the inn to help clean up."

"Oh, yes, thank you so much!"

As he spoke, Chu Xiaoxiang stepped forward and bowed heavily to the little second brother to express his gratitude, and the second brother immediately returned the same bow, then reached out and scratched the back of his head, laughing and saying, you're welcome!

Xiao Er left the room, Chu Xiaoxiang walked to the bed, happily teasing the baby lying on the bed, at this time, Helian Chen came to his side, and asked suspiciously: "I don't understand why you want to go to the East Palace?"

"Don't forget the mission of our trip, going to live in the East Palace is the best place to approach and convince Mu Xun, if you miss it, you won't have such a good chance next time."

"That's what I said, but ......"

"No, but, what you're worried about is what I want to pay attention to, I don't know why, I always feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Helian Chen: "......"

Suddenly, the baby screamed, Chu Xiaoxiang and Helian Chen hurriedly went over to look at her, the little guy didn't know who he was talking to, and he couldn't stop giggling.

"I've heard old people talk about something they said about very young babies who can see things that we adults can't see."

"For example?"

"Ghosts or something."

"You believe it?"

"Believe it or not, listen to those old people, this feng shui is related."

"Feng Shui?"

"Yes, but I don't know what it is, but I've heard people say that if you're going to see the house, take that kind of newborn baby with you, and you can sense some dirty things."

"Really?"

"I heard about it, but who knows?"

Chu Xiaoxiang looked at Helianchen with idiotic eyes, and Helianchen laughed for a while.

He shook his head and remained silent.

"Let's simply clean up, go to bed early, and get up tomorrow morning and go to the East Palace."

"Okay."

Helian Chen stood up, he simply packed up his baggage, placed it on the table, and then went to bed with Chu Xiaoxiang.

When they woke up early in the morning, they were woken up by a knock on the door, and Helian Chen was the first to get out of bed and open the door.

"Ji Concubine, my subordinates will pick up Ji Concubine, and Princess Ji will go to the East Palace together."

Helian Chen nodded, he closed the door again, walked to the side of the bed and pushed Chu Xiaoxiang, and said, "Get up."

"Hmm~"

Chu Xiaoxiang sat up dimly, she looked at Helian Chen and said, "Something?"

"Prince Mu has called someone to pick us up."

"So?"

"Shouldn't you get up and get ready?"

"It's okay if we slow down, Mu Xun won't necessarily wait for us."

Mu Xun is a busy man now, except for some things that need to be prepared for the enthronement ceremony, the death of the first emperor, there are so many state affairs to deal with every day, so many twists and turns waiting for him to approve, so many things waiting for him to do, where does he have time to wait for her?!

"It's always a bit bad to make people wait!"

"I don't want to, I was going crazy last night by this little guy, I have to sleep well, just let that one wait first."

"……"

Helian Chen smiled helplessly.

After he finished cleaning up, he helped Chu Xiaoxiang clean up again, although Chu Xiaoxiang had her eyes closed throughout the whole process, it was not difficult to help her dress and pull her hair like this.

Ready, Helian Chen put Chu Xiaoxiang on the bed, then walked to the door, stretched out his hand to open the door, and saw that Gonggong Li was still waiting outside the door, he turned back to the bed, first picked up the baby, handed the baby to Gonggong Li, threw the burden on his shoulders, and then bent down to pick up Chu Xiaoxiang.

Several people came to the carriage, Helian Chen first carried Chu Xiaoxiang into the carriage, because he couldn't spare a hand to hold the baby, he could only let Gonggong Li sit in the carriage together.

The carriage soon drove into the palace and came to the gate of the East Palace, and the palace people who had been waiting at the door for a long time stepped forward to help, but they did not salute much, and in the end they still did not help much, and went directly to the other courtyard.
