It was supposed to be a cold and quiet night, but the streets of Nancheng Capital City were full of lights and festive red lanterns, especially in the palace. Everyone's face was filled with a kind of joy with relief, and they were busy working for tomorrow's crown prince and concubine.

Su Yilin rode through the lively street, and as soon as he entered the main hall of the palace, he saw that the crown prince Wang Chengchen was casually looking at the official documents coming from all over the place, and the one sitting quietly next to him grinding for him was the gentle Chu Xiangluo.

"I'm back and I've seen my sister-in-law. Su Yilin took off his robe and handed it to the maid next to him, while looking at Chu Xiangluo and said.

"The folk girl see Master Su. When Chu Xiangluo heard this, he hurriedly got up and bent down to make a big salute to Su Yilin, and just when he was about to kneel down according to the number of salutes, Wang Chengchen next to him immediately held her hand and said softly: "You don't need to kneel to him." ”

"Sister-in-law is polite, you can call me by my name in the future. Su Yilin smiled, and sat down on the chair next to him to drink tea, "Tomorrow I will call my sister-in-law Niangniang." ”

Chu Xiangluo lowered his head a little shyly and said, "Even so, according to the number of etiquette, I still have to salute Master Su." ”

Chu Xiangluo, who was born in a scholarly family and is knowledgeable, will naturally not ignore the etiquette that should be due, and her parents have also told her to do her best in everything, be virtuous and decent, and become a virtuous helper to His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Privately, you don't need to care about these courtesies. Wang Chengchen said to Chu Xiangluo, "They are all their own people, so there is no need to be too polite." ”

"Your Highness is right. Hearing Wang Chengchen say this, Chu Xiangluo naturally obeyed, and sat down again with a light smile, and he was not too restrained in front of Su Yilin.

"How is the emperor over there?" Su Yilin stopped talking nonsense, looked at Wang Chengchen and said, he knew that the emperor would definitely not be indifferent to the matter of the crown prince and concubine.

As soon as the words came out, Chu Xiangluo stood up again, "The folk girl retired first." "She shouldn't listen to the affairs of the court, she just needs to serve the prince without distractions.

Su Yilin just wanted to say that it was okay, but when he saw Wang Chengchen glaring at him, he changed his words and said, "Sister-in-law, go slowly." ”

After Chu Xiang left, Wang Chengchen explained, "I don't want her to get involved in these things." ”

Chu Xiangluo's personality is gentle and simple, and he may not be able to deal with the chaos of entering the court, and there will be unknown dangers. What's more, she is innocent in her own world, she is not involved in any court forces, and she does not participate in anything and does not know, which is the best for her.

Su Yilin understood Wang Chengchen's intentions after thinking about it, and nodded teasingly, "Okay, protect your wife, right?"

"People like you who don't have a wife......" Wang Chengchen's eyes were also teasing, and he smiled halfway through speaking, and deliberately paused for a while before slowly speaking: "I don't understand." ”

Su Yilin knew that he couldn't talk about him, so he coughed dryly twice, "That...... Where are we talking? What's going on over there, Your Majesty?"

The two talked for about a stick of incense, and when it was late at night, Su Yilin went back.

It is raining misty spring rain in the city today, and the deserted Yuxing Palace is shrouded in smoke and rain, but it has a unique charm.

Wei Xi likes rainy days at night, and the light rain falls on the eaves without sound, but when it slides down from the eaves, it drips layer by layer on the glazed tiles scattered on the pavilion, but it is like a song, which makes Wei Xiwan listen to it very happily.

"This is the first spring rain in the city, and it must be His Royal Highness the Prince's blessing. The maidservant said while helping Wei Xi to walk on the promenade and listen to the rain.

"It's just a rain, why is it related to the prince?" Wei Xiwan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, although she also hoped that Wang Chengchen would be blessed, but it had nothing to do with a rain in the city.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting married today, and the city will usher in the first spring rain of the year, which is naturally the kindness brought by His Royal Highness. The words of the maidservant revealed the joy of the prince's wedding.

"What did you say?" Wei Xiwan stopped abruptly and looked at her in disbelief, "The prince's wedding?"

"Lord Wei doesn't know? The slave maid also thought that Lord Wei was running around because he was unwell, so he didn't go back to the capital to celebrate the prince's wedding. Seeing that Wei Xiwan's expression changed greatly, the maid couldn't help but explain with some trepidation.

A few words made Wei Xi fall into an ice cellar at night, and the whole person stood in place in a daze, his eyes were empty and blank, and his mind was instantly blank.

How could it be? She didn't know anything.

"Who is the prince marrying? Is it the emperor's will?" Wei Xiwan grabbed the handmaiden's hand a little uncontrollably and asked excitedly.

"Slave maid...... The slave doesn't know so much. Wei Xi scratched her late, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to shrink back and answer, for fear that she would accidentally say the wrong thing.

No way! Wei Xiwan muttered and let go of the handmaiden's hand, she had just come to his side, how could she be too late when she had come to him so hard? She hadn't even spoken a few words to him, and he was about to get married.

The saddest thing is that she is like a complete outsider, and from beginning to end, everyone seems to know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting married today, except for her.

No wonder, it seems that everyone's faces are filled with a hint of joy today, and she naively thinks it is because of this spring rain. It's no wonder that Su Yilin wants to rush back to the capital, no wonder he has a look of wanting to stop when he leaves.

Wei Xiwan's face was pale, and she stood motionless, and the maid on the side didn't know why Master Wei had such a reaction, and she didn't dare to ask, so she could only lower her head and support Wei Xiwan's slightly trembling body, afraid that she would fall down at any time.

"Lord Wei......" The maid called softly with some concern, they had been standing here for a long time.

A gust of wind blew into the corridor obliquely with a drizzle, wetting Wei Xiwan's dress, and the slightest coldness seemed to penetrate the skirt and was cold to his heart.

"Lord Wei, the wind is blowing, let's go back. The maidservant stood on the side of the rain and shielded her from the raindrops.

Wei Xiwan didn't say a word, she took a step away like a lost soul, but she almost stumbled a few times, and the maid helped her step by step in the cold and empty corridor, and a layer of tears welled up in her eyes, after all, she couldn't see this hazy drag palace.

A whole month has passed, the remnants of the Moxiao League have been eradicated, and Wei Xiwan's body has basically recovered, and he does not need to return to the palace after receiving the order, and continues to stay in the city to investigate the theft of the treasury.

At dusk and sunset, a pigeon landed on the window of Wei Xiwan's room, looking like a long journey and a little dusty, Wei Xiwan took off the note tied to the pigeon's feet, and fed the pigeon some water and food.

"Boss, everything is going well, the seventy shops on the North Street of the Imperial City of Xiyue Kingdom and the one hundred and twenty shops on the South Street have been bought in the names of fifteen disciples respectively......"

After reading it in the evening, Wei Xi lit the note in the candle flame and put it in the incense burner.

At this time, there was a soft knock on the door, "Lord Wei, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

When I opened the door, I saw my subordinates say a little excitedly: "Lord Wei, we finally found a clue, the items stolen from the treasury appeared on the border of Beiyu Kingdom, for fear of startling the snake, we secretly bought one, and it is now in the Criminal Department, please move." ”

"Let's go!"

A high-quality white jade pot is placed on the table in the lobby of the criminal department, the body of the pot is finely carved, the dragon and the phoenix are danced, the handle of the pot is carved into a hollow in a unique way, and the lid of the pot is inlaid with a priceless night pearl.

Wei Xiwan picked up the jade pot and looked at it carefully, it was worthy of being the best, she really had a vision, she was in the treasury at a glance, so she stole it out, and it was too late to appreciate it at that time, but now it is back in her hands openly.

"My lord, this is the Fuxu white jade pot recorded in the treasury list. The subordinate on the side said.

"I know. She had already read the treasury list, and she had even thought about what she was going to go in and get next time.

"Are there any other clues?" Wei Xiwan asked, she asked the peerless disciple to deliberately let a batch of treasury items circulate and trade on the border of Beiyu Kingdom, and at the same time arranged for the imperial court to go to the border between the two countries to investigate.

This will not only allow them to pay attention to Xiyue Kingdom, which is really circulating and trading, but also allow her to at least have some achievements in checking the treasury.

"Not for the time being, but since it was found out from the border of Beiyu Kingdom, then I'm afraid we have to arrange for someone to go into Beiyu Country to investigate. "The subordinate suggested.

"Since the issue between the two countries has been involved, it is not a trivial matter, and I will make a decision after I return to the capital to report to the prince. Wei Xiwan put down the jade pot in her hand, her eyes flickered slightly, and she finally found a reason to return to the capital in a dignified manner.

Chu Xiangluo, what kind of woman is this, she actually has the opportunity to become his side concubine.
