Although the trip to Gyeongju was postponed for some reason, it still set off in the end.

Above the city tower, Xia Taozhi, Peony, and Begonia stood in the wind, their skirts flying. His eyes were fixed on the team that had drifted away.

The expressions on the faces of the three of them are the same, and they all have a reluctance and concern in their hearts. It's just that Peony's face is a little whiter in comparison, and the worry in her eyes is very strong, because in the convoy ahead, there is not only her sweetheart, but also her father, Mei Zhiyu.

After the secret conversation between the tsundere prince and Mr. Mei, it was announced that Mr. Mei would go to Gyeongju with them. But peony also has more worries because of this, after all, the plague has always made people talk about it and avoid it.

"Don't worry, they'll be back safely......"

Xia Taozhi muttered to herself, the wind swept the broken hair in her ears, as if she was comforting the peony, and as if she was talking to herself.

Before leaving, the tsundere prince said goodbye to her, and seriously told her that although the two of them were already husband and wife, he promised to give her the same wedding as the chapel, and he would make up for her when he came back after finishing this matter.

She didn't want him to be leaving, and she still remembered this in her heart, and she was a little moved in an instant, feeling that her warm-hearted husband was really considerate, and the more she looked at him, the more pleasing she became, and she felt a strong reluctance.

Rarely, she tugged at his sleeve and said coquettishly: "Come back early......" He looked at her and raised her eyebrows, and the look in her eyes was clearly reminding her if she was missing something, so she quickly added: "...... Husband. ”

Someone nodded with satisfaction and said, "Got it...... I must come back early for my husband. After that, he pinched her face and whispered, "I can't bear to let my little wife stay alone in the empty room at home......"

“……”

This pervert!

She was speechless for a moment, blushing and patting someone's unruly paws away, and said angrily: "What are you doing!" The ...... of the blue sky and the white day"

Someone Tian rolled his eyes shamelessly, looking like a scoundrel: "What's wrong?" You're all mine, can't you touch it? ”

"You ......"

"What are you?" Someone squinted at her, as if he remembered something, and said very uneasily: "You are already my person, don't run anymore, wait for me to come back at home." "When he left this time, he deliberately took Xiao Lianxu away, and Chu Jing also deliberately left someone here, so she didn't want to sneak away again. The impatience of looking for her all over the world, he tasted it once.

"Got it, Rory!"

She's ashamed, uncle! How long will he read this black history...... It's a shame that she just felt that the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he became, what a fart! It's still so cheap!

"No matter how verbose you are, it's your husband." Someone calmly replied: "Also, when I'm not there, I'm not allowed to run around, I'm not allowed to climb high, I'm not allowed to practice swords, in short, I'm not allowed to mess around......"

"Why?" She stammered in anger, this is too much!

The tsundere prince glanced at her stomach and smiled meaningfully: "...... Because maybe you already have my baby in your belly. ”

With that, he turned away triumphantly, leaving her alone in the wind.

***

After the tsundere prince left, Xia Taozhi felt for the first time that this Lingwang Mansion was so big and empty. And since the eldest princess made her sad last time, Mama Lin seems to be in charge more and more. Not only was she ordered by the old princess to supervise her to eat bird's nest and drink tonic every day, but she also added a few maids to her yard. Wherever she went, a large number of people followed, and she was annoyed.

I have to say that she, the princess of Ling, has really failed, and her rights in the Lingwang Mansion are not as great as Mama Lin, who is holding chicken feathers as arrows. There's no way, who made the family the eldest princess. So she was forced to be anxious, so she quietly hid in the tsundere prince's study, out of sight and out of mind.

Well, that's them...... that study.

Although she was also a little uncomfortable, who made the tsundere prince order that no one should be allowed to approach this study, so Mama Lin didn't dare to make a mistake.

Since the tsundere prince moved into this new mansion, he has been in this study for the rest of the time, except for entering the palace, going to the barracks, eating and sleeping. Xia Taozhi has no interest in any court or government affairs, so she rarely stepped into this study before. At this moment, she sat in front of the desk where the tsundere prince usually sat and looked around. Suddenly, she noticed that there was a book on the bookshelf behind her that was a little strange, as if it was too late to insert it back in the future, revealing a piece of it.

Curious, she stood up and pulled out the book. Unexpectedly, when I flipped through it, two letters fell out of the book and fell to the ground.

What letter needs to be so tightly hidden, it can't be a love letter, right? She jokingly thought that it would not be strange if a girl secretly wrote a love letter to the tsundere prince, after all, His Royal Highness the King of Ling was the white moonlight in the heart of the young lady of the Chujing family......

She leaned over to pick it up, but found that one of the two envelopes was blank, and the other was written in black on a white background: Gu Sheng.

Hey? It turned out to be her letter?!

But the letter to her, how could it be in the tsundere prince?!

Who will write to her again?

If you think about it, you will call her Gu Sheng, and there are only a few people who come and go.

She couldn't wait to open it and pulled out a piece of paper with a pattern drawn on it. After just one glance, she was cold, and she felt a cold breath from the soles of her feet, slowly jumping up her back, and then slowly spreading to the top of her head.

This pattern is so familiar to her that she won't forget it when she turns to ashes!

When the whole village of Yudong Village was slaughtered, she crawled out of the icy pool and found a token of the man in black in the ruins of Yudong Village, and the token was this pattern. Later, the master told that this pattern might be related to a certain powerful person in Chu Jing, so she came down the mountain to Chu Jing. Over the years, the pattern had been a nightmare, and she would never be mistaken.

There is also a line of small words written under the pattern: This is Xuanyuan Geng's jade pendant pattern, I promised to draw it for you. The signature is: Xiao Lianxu.

This is the pattern on the jade pendant that Xiao Lianxu promised to draw for her, Xuanyuan Geng. She had obviously heard Xuanyuan Geng say that the jade pendant was his mother's relic, how could the pattern on it be exactly the same as the pattern on the black-clothed man's token? Could it be that the black-clothed people who slaughtered Yudong Village turned out to be the people of Xuanyuan Geng's mother clan? But she had never heard of any powerful family in Chu Jing with the surname Xuanyuan. But the tsundere prince also said that Xuanyuan Geng may be a pseudonym, so what is Xuanyuan Geng's true identity? Who is his mother's family?

A series of questions flashed through her mind, and it seemed that there was a big mystery slowly appearing in front of her, but she was really not smart enough to solve it no matter what.

Also, this letter is obviously for her, how can it be here with the tsundere prince? Could it be that this guy intercepted her letter silently, and secretly hid it and didn't tell her?

Uncle's! When this guy comes back, I have to settle accounts with him!

She opened another envelope, and inside the envelope were two pieces of paper, one of which still had a pattern on it, exactly the same as the one drawn by Xiao Lianxu, which she had drawn by herself at that time and handed it to the tsundere prince and asked him to help her check the clues. On the other piece of paper, four words were simply written: Xue, Xiao, Jian, and Wu.

Among them, on Xiao and Wu, two red circles were circled with a red pen.

This one doesn't seem to be difficult to understand. "Xue, Xiao, Jian, Wu" should represent the surnames of the four families, and the first three surnames also correspond to the three major families of Eastern Chu, the former hussar general Xue Huaiyuan Xue family, the Marquis of Ningguo Xiao Hu Xiao family and Jian Taishi Jian family, but this Wu ...... It seems that there is no correspondence, and there seems to be no surname Wu among the powerful families of Da Chu today.

But on the contrary, the surnames Xiao and Wu Shang were circled with a red pen, which obviously means that they are related to this pattern.

Xia Taozhi couldn't help but remember that Xiao Lianxu had said at that time that he had seen the pattern of the jade pendant in the Xiao family. Therefore, it is very likely that the black-clothed man in Tu Village has a lot to do with the Xiao family. Could it be that Xuanyuan Geng's mother is a member of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is her mother's family? So...... Could it be that the one who slaughtered the lives of thirty-six people in Yudong Village turned out to be from the Xiao family?

A lot of speculation flashed through her mind, and she almost couldn't help but want to rush to Xiao Lianxu immediately, grab him and ask him clearly, but Xiao Lianxu had already gone to Gyeongju with Prince Tsundere. And the tsundere prince...... It turned out that he had been secretly investigating this matter, and he must have found many clues. But he never mentioned a star and a half in front of him, hiding it deep enough!

The truth of the years seemed to be about to surface, and a wave of hateful anger rushed to her head in an instant, and the blood pounded her eardrums, and she felt that she could not wait for a moment. When he kicked the two letters into his arms, he turned around and walked out of the study, and walked towards his own room. She packed up her baggage softly and simply, changed into a night outfit, and prepared to sneak out of the house quietly overnight to chase Prince Tsundere and Xiao Lianxu.

It's about her blood feud, about her father and aunt and the lives of the thirty-six people in Yudong Village, she must ask clearly!

But she was about to pack up, and the sound of peony came from outside the door, a little eager.

"Mother, are you asleep?"

She didn't want to respond, but after hesitating for a moment, she still responded: "I haven't slept yet, what's the matter?" ”

"Someone from the palace has a message, please enter the palace immediately."

She was stunned, "Now?!" ”

"Yes."

Her heart sank, and she had an ominous premonition: "Who summoned her?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”

"It's the emperor......" Peony's voice sounded a little trembling: "The chamberlain from the palace said that the emperor was suddenly critically ill ......"

She froze...... Emperor Chu is critically ill? How did you suddenly become critically ill? At this moment, the tsundere prince is not in Chujing, and as a daughter-in-law, she must enter the palace immediately to fulfill her filial piety.

But she's in a hurry to leave!

Uncle's! Why are we all together?!
