She didn't know how she returned to the palace, but when she saw the imperial brother and the other women walking together, an inexplicable strange feeling quietly grew in her heart.

made her feel extremely uncomfortable, her mouth felt bitter and astringent, and her mind was in a trance, as if she was in a dream.

Back in the Yuehua Palace, the missing pearl went directly back to the dormitory, changed her clothes and lay on the bed, the picture of Murong Xi and the woman walking together on the street poured into her mind, and suddenly a sour feeling came to her heart, teaching her to turn around and hug her quilt, unable to control this sudden sadness.

Her royal brother......

There is a favorite lady's ......

Have a sweetheart......

Isn't that something ordinary?

As a prince, he will marry a wife and have children, isn't it a common thing?

Why did she feel as if her chest was being crushed by a big rock?

The bead hugged the quilt tightly, both in his heart and in his mind.

*******************************************************************

Sending Zhao Chuyao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Murong Xi returned to Prince Ping's Mansion, and seeing that his subordinates were cleaning up the house, he remembered that he had promised to leave a room for her, so he called the steward on the side.

"Clean up the West Wing and add furniture."

When Steward Cheng heard this, he immediately responded, although he was puzzled in his heart, but since the master ordered him, he could only do it.

On the second day, just after the morning court, I went to Fengyan to ask Queen Yu for peace.

Empress Yu learned that her son seemed to have accepted her arrangement to meet with Zhao Chuyao yesterday, so she dismissed the minions, walked to the hall, and asked him with a smile on the corner of her lips, "Xi'er, have you seen Prime Minister Zhao Cheng's daughter, what do you think of Chu Yao?" ”

A touch of complicated emotions flashed through Murong Xi's eyes, and he nodded, "Well, that's good." ”

"Not bad?" Queen Yu pouted these two words carefully, getting along with him during the time he returned to the palace, knowing that his personality was indifferent and calm, and it was difficult to approach, if he wanted to take the initiative to pursue Zhao Chuyao, it was almost impossible, so she could only arrange for him to meet Zhao Chuyao without authorization.

According to the information she got, Zhao Chengxiang's daughter Zhao Chuyao has the reputation of a talented woman in the capital, she reads poetry and books, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she has also seen portraits.

Murong Xi's personality is not good at talking to people, she is a character developed in the northern Xinjiang, and Xi'er in her impression has always been a cheerful and studious child, but after the palace fight, it was ......

Thinking of this, Queen Yu took a deep breath and said patiently: "It's just that there are only good reviews, so what is Miss Zhao's impression of you?" ”

Murong Xi glanced coldly at Queen Yu in front of her, and replied lightly: "If the queen mother is interested, you can ask her by herself, if there is nothing else, the son has other things to do, so he will retire first." ”

When the words fell, he didn't mean that the queen spoke, but he turned around and walked out of Fengyan Palace directly.

Seeing this, Queen Yu's heart tightened and she summoned the grandmother on the side.

……

Out of Fengyan Palace, Qingfeng immediately stepped forward and came over, "Master, something happened at the end of Yuehua Palace." ”

Murong Xi twisted his eyebrows, and kept advising himself in his heart that he could no longer meddle in her affairs, but consciously, he still opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The breeze followed him and explained the matter in detail.

A well in the Zhaoying Palace next door to the Cold Palace, a female corpse was found, and after investigation, it was a palace maid from the Huanyi Bureau, and the imperial doctor verified that the palace maid named Jade was drowned, and it looked like she had fallen into the well and drowned. But an inexplicable palace maid who is also from the Huanyi Bureau came out to testify, saying that Cuiyu was summoned to Zhaoying Palace by the Ninth Princess before she died, and suspected that Cuiyu did not fall into the well and died, but was deliberately murdered by someone.

When Murong Xi heard what had happened, he let out a cold snort and quickened his pace, "So it's suspected that the missing pearl pushed the palace maid into the well?" ”

In the time that his master had been with the princess of the pearl, she had been in contact with her no less than several times, and he was extremely reluctant to believe that the princess, who usually seemed so kind, would do such a vicious thing.

"The subordinates don't believe that the Ninth Princess would do such a vicious thing, but the evidence in front of them is indeed unfavorable to the princess."

"Where is the Lost Pearl now?"

"This matter has already alarmed the emperor, and it is being tried in the Palace of Heart Cultivation."

Murong Xi frowned and rushed to the Heart Cultivation Hall with a light breeze.

As soon as he entered the hall, without waiting for Xu Hong's report, he stepped in.

"Father, according to Liying, the palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, it was the missing pearl who summoned the deceased jade to Zhaoying Palace, so the missing pearl is the last person to see the jade, so in this way, the missing pearl is definitely suspected of killing the jade."

As soon as he stepped into the hall, there was a stirring speech from Chang Ning. Murong Xi listened to a rough idea, and the mystery in his heart was immediately explained.

His eyes turned slightly, and did not fall on Chang Ning, but on the body of the pearl standing in the hall, as if he couldn't hear the pearl in the clouds, and saw that her little pink carved face was full of innocence and doubt.

"Father, I don't know what the Eighth Emperor Sister is talking about, I haven't seen the dead palace maid, let alone summoned any palace maid to any Zhaoying Palace." Yizhu glanced at Chang Ning, although she didn't know why Chang Ning wanted to slander herself like this, but in fact, what she didn't do, she would never admit it.

Murong Sheng naturally didn't believe that his kind daughter would do something murderous, so he also had doubts about this matter, "Yizhu, the imperial doctor said that this palace maid died before yesterday, where are you yesterday, can anyone testify to it?" ”

......

Zhuzhu turned his eyes and remembered that he was outside the palace when he was not ......

This......

This is absolutely not to be told to my father, otherwise I will never be able to sneak out of the palace again!

"Father...... At that time...... "She squeaked, and she couldn't say anything."

Chang Ning snorted coldly at this time, "You can't make it up, can you?" Yesterday, before the hour, you arrived at Zhaoying Palace, pushed the palace maid Cuiyu who had offended you into the well, and watched her drowned, did you leave! ”

"Eighth Emperor Sister, I don't know where I have offended you, Eighth Emperor Sister, you have to slander the Lost Pearl like this, killing people is a big crime, even if I am a princess, it is impossible for my father to bend the law for personal gain, so every time Sister Eight Emperor Sister says a word, please think carefully before speaking."
