“Boom, boom!”
“Boom, boom!”
"Close doors and windows to prevent fire and theft."
The low voice of the night watchman came from not far away, and Qingxu couldn't help but frown. It was already the second watch of the night, wouldn't the big fiery red bird come out for a walk?
The night watchman's voice woke up the Meng family, the Du family, and the emperor's men who were hiding near the palace from their drowsiness.
Qingxu's attention was focused on the First Prince's Mansion and he failed to notice anything unusual nearby.
Until three o'clock in the morning, Qingxu once again used the bronze telescope given by Cui Wan to observe the sky above the eldest prince's mansion, especially the dense and lush treetops.
At this moment, against the backdrop of the moonlight, there were just clusters of black shadows.
Qingxu looked around but found nothing. Just as he was about to give up, a dark shadow with a little fiery red color blocked the lens of the telescope.
Qingxu quickly took away the telescope and looked towards the eldest prince's palace.
A large fiery red bird flew under the moonlight towards a courtyard somewhere in the eldest prince's mansion and soon disappeared.
Qingxu picked up the telescope and looked in that direction, and soon determined that it was the location of the main kitchen in the eldest prince's mansion.
Huanghuang took less than half a cup of tea to eat and drink her fill in the big kitchen. She came to the yard, flew directly onto the roof, stayed for a moment, and then flew towards the most densely populated treetops near Quchen Pavilion.
When her feet stepped on the treetop, Huanghuang suddenly turned her head to look at the three-story teahouse three hundred meters away.
Oops!
Discovered by someone I don’t know if he’s a friend or an enemy!
Huanghuang quickly hid in the treetops, away from the moonlight, and observed the people in the teahouse through the gaps between the branches.
Qingxu retracted his binoculars, pursed his lips, and it really was a phoenix.
The place where it is hiding is where Quchen Pavilion is located.
Qingxu left the teahouse after a while.
Huanghuang stepped on the treetops, increased her flying altitude, and chased in the direction Qingxu left with the backlight.
The other groups of people didn't notice it, but this person discovered it.
It would be fine if this person is a friendly force, but if he is not a friendly force, he must be one of the masterminds behind the scenes.
However, Qingxu disappeared in an alley three kilometers away from the imperial palace.
Huanghuang carefully looked around the surroundings, then turned around and flew towards the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.
Xiao Xier was sleeping soundly with her head resting on Xiao Lingyu's arm. When she heard Huanghuang's silent call, she suddenly woke up.
Huanghuang came to see her so late, could it be that the person behind the scenes had taken action?
Xiao Xier glanced at the sleeping couple, tiptoed out of bed, put on a coat, left the bedroom, and rushed to the depths of the purple bamboo forest.
"Did someone behind the scenes take action?"
[I don't know if he's a bad guy, but he's definitely not a good person. I was very careful about where I was, and no one else noticed me, but he did.]
Xiao Xier: "You showed up during the day today, maybe he discovered you then."
Huanghuang thought about it and felt that it was possible. "My night vision is very strong. I noticed that he had a thick yellow tube on one of his eyes, peeking at me."
"That's a telescope. It seems this person is waiting for you to show up. Are you following him?"
[I followed him, but he disappeared into an alley.]
"Then carry me over there and take a look."
Huanghuang carried Xiao Xier on her back and flew straight to the alley three kilometers away from the palace.
[He disappeared in the alley below.]
Xiao Xier looked down and saw that this was the alley behind Jintai Building, with houses with two entrances on both sides.
"That person's home should be one of these mansions. Let's turn back."
When Xiao Xier turned her head, she found that the palace was not far from here. The closer to the palace, the more princes and princes lived there.
This is the back alley of Jintai Building, and those who come to Jintai Building to consume are all dignitaries.
"Huanghuang, take me to fly around Jintai Tower first and then fly back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion."
Huanghuang turned around and flew towards Jintai Tower, and slowly flew around Jintai Tower several times according to Xiao Xier's instructions.
Xiao Xier discovered that the private rooms were very private, so dignitaries would choose Jintailou as their first choice when they came here to dine and discuss matters confidentially.
"We can fly back to the Protectorate Palace now."
After returning to Youhuangyuan, Xiao Xier entered the room, climbed onto the bed on tiptoe, and lay between the couple.
Su Xingyi subconsciously turned over, and his big hand naturally held Xiao Xier's small hand.
Why is it a little cold?
Su Xingyi opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Xier who was beginning to fall asleep.
Oh no, Xiao Xier found out that he had brought her back to sleep with him and his wife!
The next day at dawn, Su Xingyi pretended to be unaware of what had happened and gently picked up Xiao Xier and sent her back to her own bedroom.
Not long after Su Xingyi left, Xiao Xier sat up.
Hey, these two adults still think she is unaware!
Anyway, as long as she doesn't expose it, it's fine.
The family locked the door to have breakfast, and Xiao Xier confessed what happened last night.
"Then Daddy will immediately arrange for someone to wait at Jintai Building." Su Xingyi said and stood up to leave.
"Mother, once that villain is found, can you be resurrected?"
"Brother Jie, you're right!" Xiao Lingyu nodded with a smile, "Not only will mother be resurrected on the spot, she'll be resurrected in front of the villain, scaring him half to death."
"Mother." Xiao Xier looked at Xiao Lingyu in disbelief, "I didn't expect you to be so naughty."
"Mother also grew up from a child. If a child can do something, mother can do it too. It's just that she has a childish nature sometimes."
Xiao Xier suddenly understood. No wonder she was reborn into a small body of four and a half years old. She would unconsciously do things that children love to do, such as acting like a spoiled child in front of her parents and being naughty without feeling ashamed.
If I were an adult and still doing the things a child does in front of my parents, I would get goosebumps just thinking about it.
"Oh, then I will occasionally act like an adult, mature and steady, and act decisively."
"Sister, don't do that!" Su Ningjie quickly advised, "You should just be cute and well-behaved every day. If you act so serious, it will be very tiring for adults to act like that."
Su Ningwen understood what Su Ningjie meant. His sister had returned to Nankun, and her status was there. It was impossible for her to be as relaxed and comfortable as she was now.
"It's just once in a while. How could I possibly tire myself out? Second brother, haven't you noticed that you usually go around the shop with the guys and check the accounts, acting like an adult?"
Su Ningjie thought about his daily behavior and said, "You're right. I have to act like an adult when I'm out there. Otherwise, the people below me will treat me like a child and give me the cold shoulder. And when it comes to other merchants, they won't give in to me just because I'm a child. If I were a child who knew nothing, they might even try to cheat me out of my shop."
"Do you feel tired dealing with these things like an adult?"
"No!" Su Ningjie instantly became interested. "Adults' behavior is not fake. As soon as I enter the shop, I behave like that naturally."
