Ning Subai, seeing that he also grew up in the palace compound, but his mind was too simple. It's like the suffering he once suffered didn't make him grow up at all, and even his mind is much simpler than others, even if it's a woman like Mingzhu.

The stalls under the south wall can only be set up for one or two silver a month, and there are many books on the stalls, so it is not a small investment to set up the stalls. Partial life, a down-and-out scholar who has no money to return to his hometown, said that he would support it, and if he didn't have an inside story, he was afraid that it wouldn't be justified.

Generally speaking, scholars who are so depressed that they have no money to eat are basically impossible to really tighten their belts and give up their faces to sell some unpopular books and notebooks. Even if they are really desperate, they will sell words, paintings, and articles, and at the worst, they can become the ghostwriters of some official eunuchs to help them deal with the topics left by their husbands.

People who don't have money to eat are the real people who can't afford to lose, and if they want to take risks to do business, how can they have the mental and financial resources?

Bisheng, such a simple thing, Ning Subai didn't figure it out or say it, and jumped into the pit by himself.

Regardless of the inside story, Xiao Qinglang did not dare to delay, and directly sent people into the palace to report to the emperor. With this discovery, even if Ning Subai was guilty, he would not die of sin.

One is that he is only mentally unstable at best, and he was used to get the turtle. The second is very likely to be the scapegoat thrown by that person, after all, after careful comparison, his identity and status and the status of the protector involved are enough to correspond to the clues about the mastermind behind the scenes obtained by Xiao Qinglang.

The portrait of the unclear facial features obtained from Zhang Xiucai, as well as the style of clothes worn on it, are all popular styles in the capital. If Ning Subai was not old enough, then Ning Changping, as the Marquis of the Protectorate, had indeed been in and out of the capital many times by Emperor Ming that year. Moreover, as a protector, he has a lot of status and meritorious service in the capital, and the clothes he wears naturally cannot be casual.

If this matter is only for Tang Qiao to investigate with Sikong Han, I am afraid that most of the cases will be closed with the surrender of the Protector. Then, that person will inevitably continue to operate the forces that were broken by Xiao Qinglang and himself one by one in secret

The man was in a hurry to cut off his tail, not necessarily because he wanted to stop. To be precise, according to his temperament and psychology, even if he dies with Xiao Qinglang, it will never be possible to stop, let alone admit defeat.

If Xiao Qinglang could find out the person in time, then he would definitely choose to do the last battle of the trapped beasts, rather than be captured

Because he was worried about the Changyue Banquet held by Mingzhu, Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang, who had obtained definite evidence, did not continue to stay in the Protector's Mansion.

Before going to the Qi Palace, Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang went back to the house to change into civilian clothes.

Even though Xiao Qinglang said that he didn't want Xu Chu to dress up, after returning to the house, he still ordered his henchmen to send the dress and hairpin he had personally selected for a long time to the Xu Mansion.

Because of the will to give marriage, the two of them can be regarded as a quasi-unmarried couple, and there is indeed no fancy dress in their house that is enough to decorate the façade. Therefore, when Xu Chu saw the objects sent by the palace guards, he did not prevaricate, but thanked the guards with a smile, and then accepted the objects.

A maid behind her was holding her clothes, tilting her head and sighing, "My lord, the slave has never seen the prince so attentive to anyone." Even the lord of Mingzhu and the playboy have never received such care from him. ”

Xu Chu raised his eyebrows sideways, and said in a good mood, "Huh? ”

When the maid saw that she was interested, she immediately grinned and whispered, "Although there are maidservants in the palace, most of them are placed in the side courtyard to work. By the prince's side, there has never been a woman, not even a nurse. ”

"In the past, although there was a young lady who was exceptional, and often came and went freely in and out of the palace, many people at that time said that the young lady was probably the future princess. But Ah Qiu looked at her from a distance and felt that the prince didn't really care about her. ”

"Oh?" Xu Chu raised her eyebrows, and suddenly remembered the woman who Mingzhu said when she was just tempted, and let Xiao Qinglang treat her specially. At that time, it seemed that even the emperor and others felt that Xiao Qinglang was obsessed with that person.

It wasn't until later that Xiao Qinglang said that what he cared about was that person's ability to perform an autopsy. It's just that no matter how deep it is, he doesn't want to talk about it more.

Xu Chu actually understood him, after all, according to his temperament, it was not a gentleman's work to say a woman's rights and wrongs behind his back. What's more, the woman was already married.

However, Xiao Qinglang has been depressed for that woman for many days, which will more or less make Xu Chu care about it.

This maid is called Ah Qiu, who is already sixteen or seventeen years old, but her temperament is still as lively as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. She lived in Xu's Mansion with Aunt Chu, and at the beginning, she just helped Aunt Chu solve the problem of three meals a day, but later she heard more about the storyteller's experience of Xu Chu, and she began to look forward to Xu Chu's return to the house every day.

As long as she saw Xu Chu returning home, she couldn't wait to turn into a bird and chirp endlessly. It's also thanks to her very good eyesight, so even if her temperament jumps out a little, it's not annoying.

In addition, these days, Xu Chu goes out early and returns late every day, and he really didn't give her a chance to make noise.

Today, Xu Chu returned home in less than half a day, and as soon as she got the letter, she dropped the leeks she was picking and ran out. I'm afraid that before I can get to him, Lord Xu will take care of himself again.

She saw that Xu Chu was very interested in what she said, so she gossiped and said proudly, "The slave maid has seen her go out of the mansion with the prince, and the prince walked very fast in front of her, and she trotted with a red face and was very embarrassed. Moreover, the appearance of the prince looking at her was no different from the appearance of General Wei, but at that time, the slave didn't think much about it. ”

"I just think that the prince doesn't seem to care much about that young lady." Speaking of this, she grinned again, revealing two rows of broken white teeth, and said excitedly, "Later, the slave maid saw the appearance of the prince leaving the mansion with you, and only then did she understand the difference in coming. ”

"When the prince is with you, I am afraid that my steps will be too big, and every few steps will look at you with a smile and then walk again. It looks like the showman in the play goes out with the lady he likes. ”

Although Xu Chu felt these things on weekdays, he did feel warm, but he didn't care too much about them. Now that I have received the description from the mouths of others, I feel that my heart is very sweet. It's not pride, it's not inexplicable vanity, it's a sense of happiness that rises from the bottom of my heart.

As the two spoke, they watched the guards who were delivering the things away.

When he turned around and went back to the courtyard, Xu Chu saw the clothes that Ah Qiu was holding, and there were boxes with jewelry hanging on his two wrists, and he couldn't help but say, "You take the clothes, I'll take these two boxes." As she spoke, she reached out to take it.

Seeing that her expression was sincere, Ah Qiu even stretched out her hand, and hurriedly shook her head and rattle backwards, hiding and protecting the object as if protecting a treasure, and muttered, "No, no, adults don't have to worry about this, Ah Qiu also went to the ground when he was a child, and he was full of strength." ”

As she spoke, she deliberately lifted the tray in her hand.

Xu Chu looked at her and looked fake, his eyes were full of admiration, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and reached out to rub her hair.

"Okay, then I'll be tired of Ah Qiu."

Ah Qiu was touched on the head, but he only felt that Lord Xu had a good temper, and he was very good-looking when he smiled, which was not at all like the Yin Si Rakshasa that the storyteller said outside.

Thinking that many people outside speculated that Lord Xu was a fierce and vicious female official of the Yin Division, what kind of green-faced fangs, what kind of yin owl was terrifying, she felt a little resentful. Thinking that if she met again next time, she would definitely talk to the storyteller about Lord Xu

Xu Chu thought deeply when he saw her few words, and only felt a little funny. She probably knew a little about why Aunt Chu came to Xu Mansion and had to bring her. After all, such a simple and clever temperament, no matter who will like it

After returning to the house, Xu Chu briefly freshened up, and then took the clothes that Xiao Qinglang specially asked people to send to put on.

She didn't know what the dress was called, she just thought it was elegant and gorgeous.

It wasn't until after the change was made that Ah Qiu on the side exclaimed, "My lord, you are the best-looking person I have ever seen wearing a pleated Ruyi moon skirt." ”

Xu Chu squinted at her, and said in a pleasant tone, "Then how many people have Ah Qiu seen wearing this pleated Ruyi moon skirt?" ”

Ah Qiu tilted his head, folded his hands and counted them, and after a while, he pouted and said, "It seems that I have seen the Lord of Mingzhu pass through." ”

There are no ladies in the palace, and ordinary maidservants wear such noble fabrics and clothes. What's more, the subordinates in the palace have a set number of rules for dressing, and they are not allowed to wear these clothes.

Sometimes when she goes out to buy and play, she will meet many women and young ladies, but most of them don't wear pleated Ruyi moon skirts.

Xu Chu couldn't help but feel a little better when he saw her annoyed, and even the depression that rose when he found out the evidence that Ning Subai was bewitched dissipated instantly. She pinched Ah Qiu's face and said with a smile, "Ah Qiu, how can you be so cute." ”

Ah Qiu was pinched in the face, but he was not uncomfortable, but he also laughed.

When she didn't come to Xufu, she was actually scared. I heard that Lord Xu will dissect corpses at every turn, and will also take out people's internal organs for study, and his appearance is very terrifying.

So much so that in the first two days she came, she only dared to hide in Aunt Chu's house, and didn't dare to run out at all.

It wasn't until she inadvertently talked to Aunt Chu that Aunt Chu laughed at her for a long time that she dared to sneak a peek at Lord Xu. At this glance, she only felt that Lord Hey Xu looked so thin and gentle, and it wasn't terrible.

Later, she pestered Aunt Chu and listened to a lot of things about Lord Xu, and the little worry in her heart became less and less. Now, I dare to bother Lord Xu every day.
