"Miss, that's His Royal Highness the Prince, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in poor health, but except for the eldest prince, this is the most handsome man the slave has ever seen, worthy of the prince, even if he is a little embarrassed, but that white dress, thin body, picturesque face, gentle eyes, indescribable grace and elegance, worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, Miss, what do you say?"

On the way back from the eldest princess's mansion, Peony kept talking and horning, and her attention was still on Qi Xiuyao, who she met in the back garden before.

It's just that she didn't see any reaction from her own young lady for a long time, she turned her head suspiciously, and found that her young lady was a little absent-minded.

"Miss, miss, miss?"

"Huh? What's wrong? Yu Shuyue looked at her suspiciously.

"What's wrong with you? But what's uncomfortable? ”

Peony has served Yu Shuyue since she was a child, and she has never seen her wander for so long, so she can't help but be a little worried.

"I'm fine, what did you just say?"

Yu Shuyue put away the slightly confused look on her face, replaced it with a relaxed expression and asked with a smile.

"Are you really okay?"

Peony was still very worried about her, but seeing that she was smiling at this time, she really didn't look like she was unwell, so she relieved her heart, and when she heard her ask, she began to talk about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince excitedly.

It's not that Peony hasn't seen the world, but his eldest son is also a talent, and his bearing is extraordinary. It's just that the scene of Fang Cai's own young lady holding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really had a big impact on her, so the attention was still on Qi Xiuyao at this moment.

"However, although this prince is handsome and gentle, but after what happened, it seems that the rumors in the capital are true, and His Royal Highness the prince seems to really have no real power, otherwise how could there be only one dissenting servant to follow."

"By the way, you saved the prince today, will you offend the person behind the minion?"

Peony is not a fool, of course she knows that the prince's incident today is not an accident, and the slave who followed the prince is a major suspect.

But he is just a small minion, and the prince is no longer favored, but he is also a royal man, and there is a prime minister's mansion behind him, how dare he be so blatant, it is nothing more than someone behind him to instruct and support him.

"It doesn't matter."

Yu Shuyue didn't care about this, even if she knew in advance that person was the crown prince, she couldn't just watch him and let him fall into the pool.

What she cares about now, including Fang Cai's distraction, is because during the time that Fang Cai and Qi Xiuyao were together, she couldn't explain the joy and sadness that inexplicably rose in her heart.

This situation was unprecedented, and she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she was a little distracted.

She couldn't figure out what was going on even if she wanted to break her head from the previous abnormality, so she put it behind her and didn't think about it anymore, maybe it was just that she was not feeling well.

**

At night, in the dungeon of a secret room in a house in the western suburbs.

"Ahh......h Spare the minions, Your Highness......"

Lin Si, who was still full of energy in the afternoon and despised Qi Xiuyao very much, was being tied to an iron pillar at this moment.

I saw that the iron pillar as thick as a tree for decades was burned red, and Lin Si was stripped all over his body, leaving only his dirty pants tied to the hot iron pillar with iron chains.

His face twisted in pain, his body struggling to escape from the red-burned iron pillar.

But his whole body was bound with iron chains, and he couldn't escape at all, so he could only endure it for life.

The whole room was filled with the painful moans of men, the sounds of begging for mercy, and the sizzling of burning flesh, which made people's scalps tingle to listen to.

Completely different from this miserable scream is the man who is leisurely drinking tea and playing chess on the side.

Dressed in a dark color narrow-sleeved python robe, the cuffs are embroidered with gold silk flowing cloud piping, the waist is tied with a dark blue auspicious cloud pattern horn belt, and a piece of pendant is hung on it, and a flowing black hair is tied up high with a cyan hairband embroidered with jade bamboo.

The slender figure is tall and lazy leaning on the prince's chair, the whole person is handsome, and revealing the innate nobility, which is similar to the sick and weak prince during the day.

Hearing Lin Si's constant begging for mercy, Qi Xiuyao didn't even give a look, and played against himself while sipping tea.

"Master, this is all the information about Miss Yu."

Suddenly, a man in black appeared in the dungeon, kneeling respectfully and presenting the information in his hand.

The corners of the man's mouth, which had been expressionless, rose after hearing the words of the man in black, and the white jade chess pieces that he had just picked up at his fingertips were thrown back into the chess jar on the side by him, and collided with other chess pieces with a crisp sound.

Qi Xiuyao took the letter from his subordinates, which recorded in detail the events of Yu Shuyue in the past thirteen years, from how old she was to practice light exercises, how long she stayed at her grandfather's house in Jiangnan, who she had the most contact with during this period, and her dietary preferences.

The reason why the dark guard was so fast was because General Yu was already within the scope of their investigation, and his two sons and daughters were of course within the scope of their mission, so they were able to give their master the information he wanted in such a short time.

"Gone?"

Three pieces of paper, Qi Xiuyao, who used to read ten lines at a glance, deliberately slowed down his reading speed and read it word by word, but it still took only a quarter of an hour to finish it.

He double-checked, and there were indeed only three.

He couldn't help but glance up at Ying Yi who was standing beside him with some dissatisfaction, his voice was low and powerful, and there was a hint of danger in his tone.

As soon as he heard his master's tone, Keichi knew that he was angry.

"Yes, my subordinates know that they are wrong."

Ying Yi didn't even dare to defend himself, and knelt down neatly to receive the punishment before Qi Xiuyao's words fell.

"Okay, I didn't say anything, let's get up."

Qi Xiuyao waved his hand casually, signaling him not to kneel.

The main thing is to block the light from his reading letters.

Eichi was still moved by the rare magnanimity of his master, but the next second, a candle suddenly appeared in front of him, and he subconsciously took it.

"Silly? Come closer, and hold it up to Lonely. ”

Qi Xiuyao saw Ying Yi's stupid and clumsy appearance, and the disgust in his eyes was about to become substantial.

"Yes."

Ying Yi, who reacted, just read the disgust from his master's eyes, and hurriedly raised the candle lamp in his hand to illuminate Qi Xiuyao.

Here, Qi Xiuyao repeatedly admitted that he was serious, and really turned over and over the three pieces of paper that recorded Yu Shuyue's events from childhood to major events, and read them over and over again, and even in the end, he was able to memorize them backwards.

On the other side of the same dungeon room, Lin Si was burned by the iron pillar behind him, and the smell of burnt meat had begun to bubble from his back, and he fainted in pain several times in the middle, but he was constantly poured on his body by Shadow 2 and Shadow 3 next to him, which stimulated him to wake him up.

Lin Si never thought that Qi Xiuyao, who looked weak and temperless during the day, would be so perverted and ruthless at night, like a devil.
