His eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky now, and his eyes were half-bent into the shape of a crescent moon, and his thin lips squirmed slightly.

"Whoever knows me, you are the best."

Chu Yu generously admitted that he has indeed not been as good as he has seen outside over the years, and there are indeed a lot of people in his hands, but there are very few subordinates in the court.

Those people have eyes, and they can see who has more prestige in the court and who is favored by Emperor Chu, and it is not easy to win over those people.

"Today, the emperor ordered someone to look for you, but what is the important matter?"

"Oh? How does Ge'er know that there is something important? ”

Chu Yu was interested, Xiao Changge talked to him while settling accounts, it can be said that he was dual-minded, more often than not, Chu Yu still hoped that Xiao Changge could take a look at him.

"Otherwise, how could Emperor Chu send Gonggong Hai to invite you over?"

Xiao Changge put down the pen, picked up the page he had written and put it aside to dry.

This stone table has already been filled with a lot of paper, and there is almost no place to put it, Xiao Changge should put it on the ground if he writes it down again.

"It is said that there has been a recent disappearance of the girl, and the emperor suspects that someone is trafficking in human beings."

Chu Yu sighed heavily without concealment.

Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows, remembering that Chu Yumao recommended himself to go to Yan'an County before, and the inn he passed by on the way was also selling girls, and it seemed that there was more than one of them.

At that time, it was only found that the prefect of Yan'an County was suspected of being among them, but no one else was found, and the prefect dared to do such a thing because there were people in the court who supported him and his status was not low, and it was not long before he began to be active again.

"But I asked you to investigate?"

Xiao Changge looked at Chu Yu, and Chu Yu was silent to acquiesce.

"This mess that no one collected was thrown to me, and if it is really found, I don't know how many people will be involved behind it."

Chu Yu sighed, Emperor Chu is a communiqué personal vendetta and wants him to suffer a little.

He said those words in front of the ministers for Xiao Yongde, and Emperor Chu couldn't swallow this breath.

"But you can't shirk it."

Xiao Changge said slowly.

Chu Yu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Ge'er wants to help me?" ”

"The concubine is just a weak woman, how can she help the prince?"

Xiao Changge refused, how could she participate in this troubled water? She has never been offended by people who don't offend her, she doesn't offend, she has no reason to help Chu Yu.

"Ge'er is really cruel to me, but she is so tight with that little girl, it's really jealous."

Chu Yu lay on the stone table, flipping through the account book.

These ledgers are as high as a mountain, but now there are a few left, and I don't know how long Xiao Changge has been here alone.

The moonlight is beautiful, even the moon is big and round, but some people are not interested in only looking at the account book and not looking at him by his side.

"Who told me that the only one who was good to me was the little maid in your mouth?"

Xiao Changge raised his head and said seriously.

She owes Red Sleeves a life, and now she has given her back her life, and it is only now that it is settled.

"I'm nice to you, too, but you didn't see it."

Chu Yu said shamelessly, looking at the account book with both eyes, the more he looked at it, the more bored he felt.

"The concubine's body and eyes are not bad, who is good to the concubine's body, the concubine can see it himself."

"Tomorrow is the day to return to the door, the prince must remember."

"I ordered Xu Fu to be ready, I didn't think that those people in the Xiao family would calculate against you in every way, you still remember the day you returned."

"The rules set by the ancestors can't be broken."

Xiao Changge said flatly, Chu Yu felt funny just by looking at her serious appearance with her head down.

Chu Yu picked up the abacus next to him, wiped all the abacus beads to the same side, stretched his waist, and then picked up the pen and turned over the account book.

He hadn't touched it in years, but he was a little rusty.

"What do the missing girls have in common?"

The two of them discussed things while calculating, and it stands to reason that it is easy to make mistakes when calculating accounts, but the two of them don't seem to be bothered.

"I don't have a husband's family, my appearance is a symbol, I am innocent, and I am an ordinary daughter."

Chu Yu said what those people had in common in a few words, but all this was like what Xiao Changge expected, and Xiao Changge didn't even frown.

"It should not be done by the same person as the one you went to Yan'an County before."

"How so?"

The two asked and answered, as if they were talking about their hearts, and the two were good friends.

Chu Yu was wary of Xiao Changge, but he couldn't help but talk to her, wanting to discuss these issues with her.

Every time he talked to Xiao Changge about things in the court, he regretted and rejoiced, fortunately she was a woman, and he regretted that she was a woman, otherwise the court was a place for her to show her strength, and anyone wanted to win over this good seedling.

"No one dares to do such a thing under the nose of the Son of Heaven, but this time they dare?"

Xiao Changge pointed out the problem, and Chu Yu understood.

He also thought about this, the previous practice was to sell girls in remote areas, but this time it was high-profile in the capital, the emperor of the mountain was far away, so the emperor of Chu couldn't control the remote place, but the capital was the location of the Son of Heaven and dared to do such a thing, wasn't that deliberately provoking the emperor of Chu?

Now that three girls have disappeared and reported to the official, if they don't stop it, I'm afraid that more girls will be punished.

"There is one more thing that the prince should be aware of, so I won't say much about the concubine."

Chu Yu nodded, he knew what Xiao Changge was talking about, he had already sent someone to find out who had suddenly had more concubines in those official eunuchs' homes, and I believe that there should be news soon.

South Courtyard

The table of good wine and food was cold early, Bai Ling'er was so angry that she almost knocked over the plate, but fortunately, Shuang'er was smart enough to remove the dishes first, otherwise the house would definitely be a mess.

Bai Ling'er ordered Shuang'er to go to the east courtyard to invite Chu Yu, but she didn't think that she couldn't even enter the courtyard, the four maids around Xiao Changge were almost more arrogant than the master, and Shuang'er could only take a look from a distance and come back to report.

"They're still in the courtyard?"

Chu Yu couldn't feel at ease if she didn't come, and she even began to feel that she was a superfluous existence.

"Yes, when the slave came back from the East Courtyard, she saw the prince and... There was talk and laughter with the princess. ”

In the end, Shuang'er's voice was a little quieter, and he looked up to observe Bai Ling'er's expression.

Bai Ling'er's face was as pale as paper, and she didn't even have the strength to stand.

She sneered a few times, and remembered the answer Chu Yu gave when she asked Chu Yu if she liked Xiao Changge before, Chu Yu thought she was drunk, but she was not drunk, and she could even hear it clearly.

Chu Yu didn't deny it at the time, but hesitated, and finally said three words: I don't know.

This proves that Chu Yu has Xiao Changge in her heart, so what is her position in Chu Yu's heart?

"Oh, madam, why are you crying, maybe the princess used witchcraft to let the prince pass?"

Seeing Bai Ling'er's red eyes, two lines of tears fell, extremely pitiful.

Bai Linger pursed her lips, in great pain.

"There's something you need to do for me."

As if she had made up her mind, Bai Ling'er beckoned to Shuang'er, who listened with her ears, frowned and hesitated.

"Ma'am, how would it be nice if this was seen?"

Now Bai Ling'er's identity is different, how about letting people see her go to the prince?

"Tomorrow, Xiao Changge and the prince will return to the door, this is an opportunity."

Bai Ling'er said coldly, it was Chu Yu who took her first, and she couldn't sit still.

"Do as I say, and the money will be yours when it's done."

Bai Ling'er took out a silver ingot from her arms, and looked at the silver with her eyes shining.

Money can make ghosts grind, even if it takes a risk, she is willing.

"This is the cost of running away for you first."

Bai Ling'er took out a small silver ingot from the money bag and threw it to Shuang'er, and Shuang'er had a smile on her face.

"Thank you for the reward, the slave and maid will definitely do things properly."

"Well, let's go down first."

Bai Ling'er nodded, she was already tired in the second watch, if she was usually sleeping at this time.

On the second watch, the two were still in the hospital......

The more Bai Ling'er thought about it, the more angry her heart became, as if a small flame was slowly burning, keeping her awake at night.

I don't know how long it took the two of them to finish the accounts, and the mistakes were also marked, and the next day, hearing the noisy sound of ping-pong outside, Xiao Changge slowly opened his eyes.

She has always gotten up early, she didn't think that last night she couldn't help but fall down, and when she saw the light falling through the window, she shouldn't have rested for half an hour.

Xiao Changge opened her eyes and remembered it, but found that one hand was pressed against her stomach, and the other hand was around her, making her unable to move.

She moved slightly, turned around, and Chu Yu's demonic face came into her eyes, beautiful and white.

The eyelashes are black and long, the phoenix eyes are closed, and even the breathing is even, like a sleeping child.

It was the second time she had seen Chu Yu sleep at close range, and both times he relaxed his vigilance like this, afraid that now she wanted to kill him, he didn't know.

"Princess, are you awake?"

Outside the house, Red Sleeves knocked on the door lightly, for fear of making a noise Xiao Changge asked in a low voice.

Normally, she would definitely not disturb Xiao Changge, but today is different, today is the day of return, Steward Xu has sent someone to prepare gifts and carriages, just wait for Xiao Changge and Chu Yu.

was noisy by the knock on the door, Chu Yu's eyelashes moved slightly, his eyes seemed to roll, and then he opened his eyes, as if he was a little dazed and hadn't slept enough, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Xiao Changge, and he smiled at ease,

Red Sleeves knocked on the door for a long time, and when no one answered, he quietly pushed the door in.

Chu Yu was still lying on the bed leisurely, with his hands on Xiao Changge's waist, not knowing what his face was.

"Ge'er woke up, how did you sleep last night?"

Chu Yu seemed to be in a good mood, even speaking with ridicule, with a pleasant tone and even a smile when he spoke.

"Yes, before that, can the prince let go of your salty pig hand? Hold you like this, don't you feel hurt by Daya? ”

Xiao Changge also smiled, but there was even more danger in the ridiculousness.

"Ge'er is the princess of this king, why does this king hurt to say that he is holding him like this? Besides, who dares to say this king? ”

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, a little smug.

Red Sleeves just entered the house, still holding a basin of water in his hand, and before he entered the bedroom, he heard the conversation between the two, and his hand almost shook.

This conversation seemed to her to be ambiguous.

After Chu Yu finished saying that, Xiao Changge's face changed suddenly, and out of nowhere, a dagger appeared, sharp and sharp, piercing Chu Yu's phoenix eyes, fortunately, Chu Yu quickly held it when he was a few centimeters away, and pinched a cold sweat.

Xiao Changge dropped his hand, fast and sharp, not dragging mud and water.

Chu Yu understood that if Fang didn't grab her hand, this knife might really fall on him.

The blade was unsheathed, the cold light was reflected, and the moment the red sleeves opened the bead curtain and saw the dagger, his hand shook in fright, and the basin in his hand fell.
