"Oops," Xia Ye'er looked at the clues that turned into ashes, and her heart seemed to turn into ashes.

Prince Chengqian leaned down and looked carefully at the pile of black things, and suddenly, he said to Xia Ye'er: "Look, what is this?" There's also braille on it. ”

Xia Ye'er hurriedly looked at it carefully, and sure enough, some of the handwriting could still be seen clearly.

"Those who are gloomy ** are just farewell...... Knowing the hesitation of dreams, the flying of the soul of the mind...... Breaking up and sobbing, feeling lonely and sad. Xia Ye'er whispered the words that she could see clearly, feeling more and more strange, these sentences were so familiar, as if she had seen them.

"What's wrong? What do you think? Prince Chengqian looked at Xia Ye'er's thoughtful appearance and couldn't help asking.

"I remember!" Xia Ye'er suddenly grabbed Prince Chengqian's hand and said loudly, "These words are engraved in front of Concubine Jing's door!" That old gentleman must have something to do with Concubine Jing and Brother Seven! ”

Prince Chengqian was a little surprised, he had never seen Xia Ye'er so excited. Xia Ye'er didn't care too much, picked up the piece of paper, and was about to run to the Imperial Academy, but Prince Chengqian stopped her.

"Don't panic, think about what to do first." Prince Chengqian said calmly.

Xia Ye'er thought about it, so she stopped thinking with Prince Chengqian.

"I think, just show him this." Xia Ye'er said excitedly.

Prince Chengqian frowned slightly, and said, "How did you become so impulsive, I think that even if he sees it, it is possible that he will not admit that it is his." ”

Xia Ye'er also calmed down: "There is also this possibility, so what do you say?" ”

Prince Chengqian thought for a while and said, "I think it is better to secretly collect evidence first, and then when there is enough evidence, he will have to tell the truth." ”

Xia Ye'er said: "Then how to collect evidence, we can't stay here all day and night, right?" ”

"We can't, but there's one person who can." Prince Chengqian said, winking at Xia Ye'er.

Xia Ye'er suddenly understood. Since Xia Ye'er and Pan Yu said goodbye last night, Xia Ye'er thought about it and felt very awkward, not because of that hug, not because of those tears, she couldn't tell. But now, finding Pan Yu seemed to be the best way, so she and Prince Chengqian went to Pan Yu's residence again.

Pan Yu was fetching water in the courtyard, and when he saw Xia Ye'er and Prince Chengqian appearing together, he hesitated for a moment, but still greeted him: "The two of you are coming to the cold house, why are you doing it?" ”

Prince Chengqian stepped forward and patted Pan Yu on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so polite, they are all acquaintances." ”

Pan Yu smiled reluctantly and said, "Do you want me to help you with anything?" ”

Xia Ye'er nodded and said, "We want you to help us look at that old gentleman and find any suspicious behavior or anything that may be evidence, so help us collect it." ”

Pan Yu was a little puzzled: "This old gentleman behaves every day, why do you always doubt him?" ”

Prince Chengqian said: "I just suspect that he has something to do with this case, so I want you to help us." Brother Song, is it okay? ”

Pan Yu said: "Of course you can, but if it doesn't help you, please don't blame me!" ”

Prince Chengqian hurriedly said: "Of course not, how could it be!" Brother Song is too worried! ”

So, from then on, Pan Yu began to observe the activities of the old gentleman. On weekdays, Pan Yu does most of the manual work, so he happens to be idle, and this time he still thinks it's quite interesting to ask him to help. Although he didn't know anything about this case, it didn't stop him from being curious.

He pretended to be cleaning up the clutter outside the old gentleman's house, and then secretly observed the old gentleman's movements. He found that the old gentleman was doing almost nothing, except teaching, the rest was drinking tea, and then reading books, and the books he read were also the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucius and Mencius Laozhuang, nothing special.

When he told Xia Ye'er and Prince Chengqian about these discoveries with some disappointment, the two reacted completely differently. Xia Ye'er made a straight face, sighed heavily, and said, "I knew that I would do this, so I knew that you couldn't do it well." ”

And Prince Chengqian said: "It's okay, it's okay, take your time, don't rush." ”

Pan Yu felt a little embarrassed, and stood there without speaking. Xia Ye'er said: "That's it, I'll come to observe with you tomorrow, I think I'll definitely find something." ”

Pan Yu was a little overjoyed, Xia Ye'er actually took the initiative to ask to be alone with him, and he agreed repeatedly. Prince Chengqian touched his chin and said, "That's fine, Ye'er is careful and can help watch it." ”

So, the next day, Xia Ye'er came to Pan Yu's residence early. Pan Yu got up earlier and was cooking with firewood.

Xia Ye'er had never seen Pan Yu do this before, so she smiled and said, "You can also cook." ”

Pan Yu quipped: "Yes, I asked you to learn to cook at the beginning, but I didn't expect that I was the one who learned it first." ”

Hearing this, Xia Ye'er felt that something was not good, so she stepped forward to help Pan Yu get boiling water, but she didn't expect to burn her hand, and her hand was red and swollen in an instant.

Pan Yu hurriedly took Xia Ye'er's hand and said reproachfully, "What are you doing?" You haven't done this again, aren't you looking for injuries? ”

Xia Ye'er endured the pain in her hand and said, "It's okay, it's not a big injury." ”

Pan Yu was in a hurry to pour cold water on Xia Ye'er, and said, "Isn't this a big injury?" You haven't done heavy work, and your hands are so tender, it's a shame to burn like this! ”

Xia Ye'er looked at Pan Yu's busy appearance, tears rolled in her eyes, compared to now, the two of them used to be talented and beautiful, living in a fabulous world, but now facing so many difficulties, it is like returning from a dream to reality.

"Does it still hurt?" Pan Yu straightened up and asked Xia Ye'er.

"Much better, leave me alone." Xia Ye'er smiled, put away her hand, and pretended to be fine.

"By the way, is the old gentleman up?" Xia Ye'er saw that Pan Yu didn't speak, so she took the initiative to ask.

Only then did Pan Yu divert his attention from Xia Ye'er's hand and said, "It should have risen." ”

"Then let's go and see!" Xia Ye'er pulled Pan Yu and walked towards the place where the old gentleman lived.

The two of them hid from a distance and watched the old gentleman, only to see him walking up and down in front of the house, pacing and striding unnoticed, not knowing what he was doing.

Xia Ye'er stared at it for a long time, and saw that her eyes were sour. She turned back to Pan Yu and said, "It's not a way to look at it without a purpose all the time, so let's go and lure him away, and I'll go into his room to look for it." ”

Pan Yu hesitated a little: "Is it okay to trespass into other people's rooms without permission like this?" ”
