"I, we... didn't?" Jun Yilin spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "We are worried that you will not be able to return to Jiangnan on time after all the trouble. In fact, we all miss you very much, but getting married is more important."
"Yes, yes."
“That’s it.”
Ai Ai also nodded and added this comment.
Everyone in the group nodded. The unanimous expression made Qin Ye feel indescribably strange. He frowned and stood for a long time before saying:
"I'll go wait for him in the study."
After saying this, he left.
A group of people hurriedly followed.
Pushing open the door of the study, Qin Ye found that the place was tidy and there was not even a single extra book.
Seeing this, his brows furrowed again.
Always feel like something is not right?
He walked to the desk, turned around and sat down, his fingertips lightly brushing across the desk, which was spotlessly clean.
She looked at her rosy fingertips and asked, "Have you cleaned it?"
Ai Ai hurried forward, bent over and answered with a smile: "Yes, yes, my Lord loves cleanliness. I have been busy with the wedding banquet these days and haven't cleaned for several days. I cleaned it early this morning."
"oh."
There's nothing unusual about that.
After she sat down, she rested her arms lazily on the armrests and looked around the study, scanning the room as she waited for someone.
As she was looking at it, she suddenly pointed to the empty bookshelf grid and asked, "Why is the carved ceramic glaze that my brother loved the most gone?"
A maid came forward, knelt down, and said in fear:
"Princess, spare me. When I was cleaning the bookshelf today, I accidentally knocked it over, and it fell and broke into pieces..."
Qin Ye understood and had no intention of punishing him. If the ceramic glaze was gone, he could buy another one, and there was no need to punish a servant who made an accidental mistake.
"Get up, and be more careful next time."
"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess." The maid lowered her head and retreated to the side in panic. She looked like she was secretly relieved.
"Hmm?" Qin Ye suddenly turned his head, "Where is my brother's inkstone?"
She opened the drawer and found that the inkstone, brush, ink, and rice paper she had prepared for Ling Yixing for five years were all gone. Even the books he liked to read disappeared without a trace.
Ai Ai's body stiffened.
Those things...
All of them were given to the children in the private school as instructed by the adults.
"Princess..." She opened her mouth stiffly, not knowing how to explain for a moment, "Those inkstones... inkstones..."
"Moved into the palace." Jun Yuyang suddenly replied, "The Imperial Master said that he plans to find the next successor within five years, and you are married, so he moved all these things into the palace and planned to live in the palace to facilitate work."
Hearing this, Ai Ai nodded quickly, "Yes, yes!"
Qin Ye frowned and glanced at the few people suspiciously.
Just move into the palace, why be so shy for so long and can't even explain the reason?
At the same time, it was discovered that not only the Yantai, books, and carved ceramic glaze were gone, but also the incense burner that Ling Yixing bought himself, his favorite screen, and the tea cups he had used for seven or eight years, many things were gone.
My heart suddenly sank.
She said that when she opened the door just now, she felt that the study was cleaner than ever before. It turned out that everything related to Ling Yixing had been cleared away.
Just enter the palace, do you need to clean it so thoroughly?
She stood up suddenly and ran out.
"Princess, where are you going?"
"Xiao Ye!" Jun Yuyang, Ai Ai, the old housekeeper and the other two hurriedly chased after him.
Qin Ye's face froze slightly, she lifted her skirt and ran out without looking back: "I'm going to the palace to find my brother!"
