Is it okay for him to live in the inn alone? Duan Zhanfang thought.
Such concern means a close relationship. It is very likely that the bizarre inference is true! Thinking of this, Chu Younan frowned slightly.
The two people continued chatting outside, and Duan Zhanfang's words were flawless without any loopholes.
But her thoughts made Chu Younan more and more solemn.
It was too dangerous for him to be alone outside, and he didn't know if he would be discovered.
Otherwise, I could secretly bring him to the palace and hide him under my nose, then he should be safe.
Duan Zhanfang's idea made Chu Younan more certain of his own inference. He secretly decided to keep his troops in place and let Duan Zhanfang sneak that "him" into the palace, and then catch the turtle in the jar!
He jumped out of the back window, walked around, and then came in through the front door, thus ending Su Bei and Duan Zhanfang's casual chat.
"The prince is back." As soon as Su Bei saw his cold expression, he knew that he must have noticed something.
Duan Zhanfang was very tactful and went back early, using the excuse that it was getting late.
After she left, Su Bei said solemnly, "Did you hear any news?"
"It is very likely that my inference is true." Chu Younan also looked solemn.
Su Bei didn't have many friends, and Liuying was no longer a threat, but she still kept Duan Zhanfang in the palace, which was enough to show how much she valued Duan Zhanfang. Chu Younan was afraid that she would be sad.
After all, if it is confirmed that two people have joined forces to kill someone, they will be sentenced to death.
Fortunately, Su Bei remained calm and said, "It's best not to torture him. There must be something hidden behind this."
"Okay." Chu Younan held her hand.
Duan Zhanfang's every move was under surveillance. She was very quick and decisive. After leaving here for a while, she asked for a sedan chair and went out.
When she came back, it was already quite late at night. It was said that she sprained her ankle when getting off the sedan chair, so she rode in the sedan chair all the way back to the yard.
Chu Younan summoned the palace soldiers to surround the courtyard where she lived. The people in the courtyard were unaware that in the dark night, there were many palace soldiers standing outside the courtyard.
He had already asked the sedan bearer, and it was said that when Duan Zhanfang came back, the sedan was heavier than when he left, and the bearer also felt that there was someone hidden in the sedan.
The evidence is conclusive.
Chu Younan frowned and took people to knock on the door of the yard where Duan Zhanfang lived.
He was alone, and all the palace soldiers hid in the night.
"Your Highness, it's so late, is there something wrong?" Duan Zhanfang's maid asked.
"Yeah." Chu Younan responded and walked straight in.
The lights in the main room were off, and it looked like everyone had gone to bed. Chu Younan was furious when he thought that Duan Zhanfang, a seemingly decent man, was actually staying in the same room with a man and a woman.
He has the ability to read minds, but he still made a mistake. It is a huge shame to let such a shameless woman stay with Su Bei.
As he thought this, he quickened his pace.
The maidservants were so anxious when they saw this. Was the prince going to break into the young lady's bedroom at night?
The young lady is about to get married, so it's hard to explain! The master and servant discussed it today. They said that Concubine Yun might have to stay alone in the empty room. The prince is affectionate and the princess is domineering. It seems that no one can get close to the prince.
What's wrong with the prince today? Why did he fall in love with his own lady? !
"Your Highness, my lady has fallen asleep, you cannot go in." The maid bravely tried to stop him.
Chu Younan did not stop, "Even if you want to sleep, I have to go in!"
How can we arrest people if we don't go in? If we let the government soldiers go in to arrest them, it would be even more embarrassing for Duan Zhanfang!
After all, we are friends with Su Bei.
Perhaps the noise outside disturbed the people inside, and the door creaked and opened.
Duan Zhanfang stood at the door wearing a cloak, his face full of surprise, "My Lord, why are you here?"
Chu Younan saw fear on his face and heard her panic, fearing that someone would discover who was inside.
The evidence was irrefutable, and the truth was revealed immediately! He asked in a deep voice, "Is there anyone else in your room?"
Duan Zhanfang's eyes were in a panic. "No, I'm the only one. The prince came here..."
Before she could finish her words, Chu Younan had already rushed in.
It seemed very quiet in the dark night, but Chu Younan, with his keen sense, discovered that there was indeed a human presence inside.
"What is the prince doing?!" Duan Zhanfang asked in surprise.
"There's someone hiding in your room." Chu Younan said coldly, "Let him out, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
It feels weird. If you don't know, you might think he's here to catch someone cheating. But it wouldn't be strange for anyone to catch someone cheating, but the Regent came in person, which makes people think a lot.
Duan Zhanfang began to doubt her life. She saw the deep affection between the Regent and his wife, and it was unlikely that they would fall in love with her. But Chu Younan's actions today made it seem like he had a crush on her.
It was weird, frightening, and made her feel at a loss.
"My Lord, what's going on?" Duan Zhanfang began to panic. She didn't want to be someone's concubine, even if the regent was handsome and powerful.
Chu Younan's face darkened. What was Duan Zhanfang thinking? At this time, she actually thought that he had a crush on her. It was really inexplicable.
Why didn’t I realize earlier that she was so casual!
The atmosphere seemed to freeze.
The two of them were at a stalemate, and Duan Zhanfang softened her tone, "My Lord, the princess is still pregnant, don't let her get angry again, you should go back first."
Chu Younan looked coldly, "Do you want me to send someone in to search?"
As he said this, he raised his hand.
A dark figure flew in from outside the courtyard, and Ling Xiao stopped at the door. "What do you want, my lord?"
"Search!" Chu Younan said in a deep voice.
Duan Zhanfang panicked, "What is your Highness doing? I, a humble girl..."
She was panicking, but someone was even more panicking than her. Before she could finish, she heard an anxious voice coming from the dormitory: "Don't search, I'll come out!"
As he was talking, a figure walked out of the dormitory.
"Third brother, how did you find out?" The man's voice was filled with reproach.
Chu Younan was stunned, "Jinrong, why is it you?"
Xue Jinrong looked reluctant, "I'll just hide for a few days. Third brother, why do you have to make such a big fuss? You even scared Zhan Fang."
Chu Younan began to quickly sort out his thoughts. Regardless of how Xue Jinrong appeared here, his previous inference must be overturned. Duan Zhanfang was not the murderer.
He was relieved.
When the palace soldiers outside the courtyard withdrew, the sound of footsteps shocked Duan Zhanfang and Xue Jinrong.
Xue Jinrong's mouth twitched, "Third brother, are you really that serious? You're sending troops to capture me. You're enough. In fact, Ling Xiao would be enough. Why would you start a war?"
Chu Younan pretended to be calm to hide his embarrassment, "I'll go to Fengyao Pavilion and wait for you. Ah Bei hasn't slept yet, waiting for the result."
"She has a part in this?" Xue Jinrong's eyes were filled with resentment. "What's wrong with you? You all are trying to make things difficult for me. How can we still have fun?"
