Chapter 348: A Surprising Secret
"Princess! Subordinates have important things to report! The chief guard of the princess's mansion stood under the eaves and saluted.
"Say it!" Murong Xue sat still and didn't move.
"This ......," the chief guard looked at Liu Tao and stopped talking.
"He's not an outsider!" Murong Xue patted Liu Tao's shoulder and said. Liu Tao turned his head and looked at his shoulder.
"The palace was stolen the night before! The emperor heard that you were back, so let you hurry into the palace! "The chief of the guard is still more cautious. He did not name the stolen items from the palace.
Murong Xue flew to the ground and followed the chief of the guard. Liu Tao also jumped off the eaves and came to the shallow house of the son.
"It seems that Murong Xue is very fond of you!" Childe Qingqian has already put on his clothes and cleaned his face.
"Childe laughed!" Liu Tao disapplauded, combing Gongzi's hair lightly.
"Murong Xue is a good girl." Gongzi Qingqian knew that Liu Tao was not small.
"She is the princess of Dawan Kingdom, I am not worthy of her!" Liu Tao put a jade crown on Gongzi Qingqian and inserted a hairpin.
"If she wants, will you stay here?" Gongzi Qingqian wants to find a good home for Liu Tao.
"Childe, don't you know my heart?" Liu Tao lowered his head and said softly.
"You can't follow me for the rest of your life!" Gongzi Qingqian patted Liu Tao on the shoulder and said.
"I'm just going to follow you for the rest of my life!" Liu Tao's words shocked Gongzi Qingqian. He didn't say a word for a while.
Liu Tao raised his head and looked at Gongzi's shallow surprised gaze and smiled, and then walked out of the room calmly.
"I can't delay you!" Childe muttered to himself.
Murong Xue returned to her room sullenly. Childe Qingqian and Ai Zishen were waiting for her to eat in the flower hall. But the food was getting cold, and she still didn't come.
"Liu Tao! Check it out! Childe looked at Ai Zishen holding a chopstick and wanted to stand it on the table. I don't know if it's because the table is uneven, or the ivory chopsticks are too light, and the chopsticks always can't stand.
Liu Tao went to the outside of Murong Xue's house and knocked on the door, "Princess! They're waiting for you to eat! ”
"Oh!" Only then did Murong Xue realize that it was already ten noon. She got up and walked out the door.
Liu Tao saluted Murong Xue. Murong Xue said softly: "When there are no outsiders, it will be free!" ”
"Don't dare!" Liu Tao followed Murong Xue to the flower hall.
"We've been waiting for you for a while!" Ai Zishen heard footsteps.
"I'm sorry, I've kept the two brothers waiting for a long time!" Murong Xue sat down with a sad face. She looked at the table of delicacies but didn't move her chopsticks.
"Say what's hard! Maybe we can help you out! As soon as Gongzi Qingqian looked at Murong Xue's appearance, he knew that she had something in her heart.
"That's it! We're brothers, aren't we? Ai Zishen picked up the chopsticks and took a large mouthful of food and put it in his mouth.
"There's a snitch in the palace! Stealing my mother's relics! Murong Xue's expression darkened.
"Oh?" Ai Zishen's chopsticks stopped in mid-air.
"My mother has a chain of beads, which is made of the finest pearls of the sea. There is a sapphire crystal accessory on the bead string, which is very beautiful. She gave it to my royal brother when she left. Murong Xue bit her lip and said.
"It should be given to you!" Ai Zishen's hand retracted. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Murong Xue.
"Maybe there's some secret to this string of beads!" Gongzi's shallow words made Murong Xue raise her head and look at him.
Gongzi looked at Murong Xue's eyes calmly. He knew that Murong Xue's elder brother, the lord of the Great Wan Kingdom, must have doubts about them. For on the day they entered the city, the string of beads was lost.
"I know this must be none of your business. But my brother ...... "Murong Xue couldn't go on.
"You fell out with your brother for us?" Ai Zishen frowned.
"Yes! My brother and I are the only ones who know about it. I've never told you about it, you don't even know it! How could it be...... Come! Dine! Murong Xue sniffed and picked up the chopsticks on the table.
Gongzi waited for the three of them to finish eating before he spoke: "Only when we catch the murderer can we prove our innocence!" Childe's shallow words made Ai Zishen and Murong Xue's hearts light up.
"Good! I'm going to go into the palace and ask for my life! Murong Xue's mood suddenly brightened.
"Yours is yours!" Ai Zishen patted Childe Qingqian's shoulder.
"Shhh Childe's shallow wound hurt slightly. He clutched his chest.
"I'm sorry! I forgot! Didn't you take my medicine? Why isn't it okay yet? Ai Zishen looked at Gongzi Qingqian suspiciously.
"Maybe the wound is too deep!" Childe smiled lightly.
"Who hurt you so badly?" Ai Zishen asked with concern.
"The murderer has been punished! I'll just take a break! Childe Qingqian slowly got up and said.
The three of them returned to their garden. Ai Zishen went to play with the turtle in the pool. Childe Qingqian returned to the house and lay down.
"Childe! He didn't mean to! Liu Tao felt that if Ai Zishen made a light move, he would not shake Gongzi's shallow wounds.
"It doesn't matter! Just take a break! Childe closed his eyes gently. Liu Tao walked outside the door and guarded.
"Liu Tao! You say that this turtle likes to shrink its head into its shell, isn't it a little too nesty? Ai Zishen looked carefully at the turtle in his hand.
"It has to do it as a last resort to protect itself!" Liu Tao replied casually.
"Yes! After all, it's a no-brainer! Ai Zishen put the turtle in the pool.
"You should be pretty skilled!" Ai Zishen said, and actually shot at Liu Tao.
Liu Tao didn't expect Ai Zishen's body to be so fast. Fortunately, they were far away, and Liu Taoren reacted smartly, so they were not restrained by his move.
Liu Taofei went to the roof. Ai Zishen followed the form like a shadow. A sword appeared in Liu Tao's hand.
Ai Zishen dealt with Liu Tao's sword style with his bare hands, but he was not at a disadvantage at all.
"Good swordsmanship! Why don't you follow me! Ai Zishen grabbed Liu Tao's sword with two fingers.
Liu Tao couldn't pull back the sword. He then threw up his sword and slapped it three times. Ai Zishen moved his body suspiciously, avoiding Liu Tao's palm power.
"Plum blossom three seals! Who are you the Plum Blossom Swordsman? Ai Zishen stopped.
"My uncle!" Liu Tao stood on the roof and looked at the young but unfathomable Ai Zishen in front of him. Who is he?
"Your uncle has a confidante, do you know?" Ai Zishen squinted at Liu Tao.
"I've heard of it! But for some reason, she suddenly left my uncle. ”
"In other words, your uncle and her are not together?" Ai Zishen threw the sword back to Liu Tao.
"When I saw Uncle Shi, he was alone!" Liu Tao's sword fell into its sheath.
"Your uncle hasn't looked for her?" Ai Zishen asked.
"Nope! But he never left their former home. A mountain peak appeared in Liu Tao's mind. At the top of the mountain there is a two-story red attic.
Liu Tao remembered that her uncle said that she liked red plums and red dresses. The red attic was built especially for her by his uncle. It's just that now people are going to empty the building, which only adds to the sadness.
"Why are you so interested in her?" Liu Tao looked at Ai Zishen who was contemplating in confusion.
"She's my mother!" Ai Zishen's words shocked Liu Tao.
Also shocked was the childe in the house. He had already been stirred up by the sound of the two fighting.
