Jia Siwen glanced at Qin Yichang and said, "I secretly searched for the portrait given to me by King Luo, but I didn't find Duan Xing." Listening to a guy beside Meng Xiuqi, Duan Xing took leave early in the morning and returned to his hometown. ”

I sneered, "Back to my hometown? What a coincidence! It seems that someone took Duan Xing away. ”

Qin Yichang's face was heavy, and he shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, I sent people to monitor the princess's mansion outside the door, but I didn't find Duan Xing leaving." ”

I immediately became alert, "So Duan Xing didn't leave?" Has it been hidden, or has it been silenced? ”

Qin Yichang said: "It's hard to say, maybe he secretly left in the middle of the night, maybe he was hidden, maybe he was really killed." Speculation is useless without evidence. We'll look for it again tomorrow, and we'll definitely find clues. ”

I said fiercely: "It's the fox who will show his tail sooner or later, and we will grab his tail sooner or later." Lolo, did you find anything? ”

"I went to find Meng Xiuqi in the afternoon, Meng Xiuqi basically didn't take the initiative to talk to me, he lowered his head and replied when I said a word, very polite and cautious, I looked at his room, and didn't find anything abnormal. Later, I went to my aunt and uncle, they seemed to be very happy, they were very warm to me, they didn't look like a fake, and they kept thanking me for taking care of you for so long, and they ......" Qin Yichang paused when he said this, and looked at me with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"What else?" I asked.

Qin Yichang smiled, "Nothing? It doesn't matter! In my opinion, Meng Xiuqi is still more suspicious. You are his daughter, how could he do that to you? ”

I snorted coldly, "You are emotional, you will feel like this, in case they are acting for us to see?" I found that Meng Xiuqi seems to be very afraid of the princess and the concubine, do you think he has the courage to do such a thing? ”

Qin Yichang said: "People can't look good, and the size of their courage can't be seen from their faces. ”

Jia Siwen also said: "I also think Meng Xiuqi is more suspicious. He always keeps his head down, perhaps because he is timid, or because he has a weak heart. ”

I thought about it and said, "It makes sense, being a thief will definitely have a weak heart, and he will definitely do something in order to cover up his crimes, and I believe that it won't be long before we find him." By the way, Lolo, what did I ask you to inquire about? ”

Qin Yi smiled and said, "After inquiring clearly, can I still not do what you explained?" My uncle's favorite things are a few black chrysanthemums in Qinnuan Garden, two partridge birds, a pair of Zhanziqian's "Spring Tour" hanging in the study, a pine, bamboo, plum and ancient inkstone, and then those ancient books in the study. ”

I couldn't help but have a twinkle in my eyes, "Okay, I'm going to destroy all the things he likes tomorrow!" Angry with him! Madden him! Ha! Ha! Ha! ”

I imagined Meng Shaoqing being angry and crying bitterly, and my heart was very happy. Hmph, your nightmare is coming.

Qin Yichang and Jia Siwen both shook their heads helplessly, as if looking at a naïve child.

I glanced at them, "What's that look on your face?" Comments? ”

Qin Yichang immediately smiled and said, "We are obedient to you now, how dare we have any opinions?" ”

Jia Siwen looked at Qin Yichang and said with a smile: "The dignified prince doesn't dare, and I don't dare to have an opinion!" ”

Qin Yichang listened and smiled at Jia Siwen.

I shook my head and said triumphantly, "It's best to have no opinion!" Tomorrow we're going to do a big job together. turned this princess's mansion upside down, chickens and dogs jumped. ”

I'm talking elatedly, "Bang bang bang!" "Three knocks on the door startled me and almost fell off my stool.

I looked at the two of them, and they looked solemnly at the door together. At the door, a shadow stood in a dark shadow, tall, as if it were a man. I gave Xianghui a look, and Xianghui understood, and immediately asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me!"

It was actually Meng Shaoqing, looking at the black shadow at the door, and his anger went straight up, what are you looking for me to do so late?

I suppressed the anger in my heart, "It's so late, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Meng Shaoqing was silent for a while, his tone was a little hesitant, "You...... Did you sleep? ”

Did I sleep? It was a simple question, but it stumped me. I looked at Qin Yichang and Jia Siwen, and said in a low voice, "Did you say I slept?" ”

They both covered their mouths and smiled, one smiling better than the other. I was a little anxious when I saw it, "Don't laugh, am I sleeping?" ”

Jia Siwen chuckled in a low voice: "What do you say yourself? ”

Qin Yichang also laughed in a low voice: "It's better to sleep." If you don't want to sleep, you can not sleep. ”

I understood what he meant, and said, "I'm asleep." Let's talk about it tomorrow! "It's better not to see him at this time.

"That'...... You sleep, I'm gone. The dark shadow outside the door stood for a while before walking slowly, the footsteps were so slow and heavy, and a sigh pierced the dark night sky, so clear in the silent courtyard.

I was relieved to see the shadow gone. said to Qin Yichang and Jia Siwen: "It's not early, you guys go back to sleep." ”

Qin Yichang glanced at Jia Siwen and said, "Okay, then let's go back." Youlan and Xianghui said, "You two don't leave Miss Xiaoyue for a moment." Be alert at night, you know? ”

Youlan and Xianghui said: "Don't worry, the prince, we will definitely not leave Miss Xiaoyue!" ”

Watching the two of them slowly disappear into the darkness, I couldn't help but feel a little scared in my heart, as if there was a pair of evil eyes staring at me in the dark, I was so frightened that I immediately told Youlan and Xianghui to close the door, intending to wash and sleep.

I sat down on a stool and inserted my feet into the hot copper basin, the water covered my instep, and I felt very comfortable.

At this time, Qin Yichang's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Jia Siwen, I know that you have always had some opinions about me. Satsuki, there may be danger here at any time, can you temporarily put away your prejudice against me and protect her with me? ”

Jia Siwen replied lightly: "King Luo, you think too much, how dare I have an opinion on you." ”

"I know you care about Satsuki a lot, and since we care about the same person, I think we should be friends, shouldn't we?"

"Friends?" Jia Siwen's tone was a little puzzled, "Do you really treat me as a friend?" ”

"Yes, I've always considered you a friend. When you saved me, I took you as a friend. ”

Jia Siwen was silent for a while and said, "Okay, since that's the case." I hope that no matter who she chooses, you don't hurt her, you don't force her. If you can do it, I can treat you as a friend. If you dare to hurt her, I will definitely not let you go. ”

Qin Yichang sighed and said, "If I was willing to be reluctant, I would have done it a long time ago, so why wait now." Actually, I had already decided to fulfill them, and I gave up. I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to be able to watch her from afar, nothing else! ”

"Why did you give up?"

"Now is not the time to say. Although I guess that the man won't do it now, I'm afraid that if I guess wrong, we can't take this risk. I want to keep watch here, I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and you keep watch for the second half of the night. May I? ”

"Okay, I've made you a friend, I hope you don't disappoint me. Then I'll go back first, and I'll change you in the middle of the night. Be careful! ”

"I will!"

I was both touched and saddened that they were so kind to me, but I couldn't repay them. When you are in danger in the future and need my help, I will do the same to you.

At this time, the steaming foot-washing water also cooled down. I wiped my feet and went to bed. Remembering that someone outside was keeping vigil for me, my heart was both warm and distressed, and I lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep.

"Who are you?" I screamed and woke up from my dream, sweat soaking the back of my clothes.
