Sure enough, someone was watching the eldest prince's mansion.
He came to spy last night, which was a rare occasion, but he didn't notice anything.
However, he didn't take it to heart.
The sound of the night watchman faded away, and the rising and falling breaths nearby became calmer. When Qinglian was drowsy, she heard a few rhythmic calls of cicadas.
Qinglian suddenly opened her eyes. Here he comes. Qingxu is giving her a secret signal.
Qinglian stood up and nudged Zhuyue gently. Seeing that she had no reaction, Qinglian went to the half-open window, where Xiaohuang was sleeping soundly.
Qinglian quickly responded to Qingluan's signal and also blew a few rhythmic bird calls.
After a few breaths, the cicada's call gradually faded away.
Qinglian returned to bed and fell asleep peacefully.
Nie Jiu and the others didn't hear anything unexpected at all. The emperor, the empress dowager and their men were squatting on the trees and dozing off.
However, all this did not escape Huanghuang's ears.
It quickly realized that the unusual bird calls were not real bird calls but artificial imitations.
Huanghuang glanced at the back room where Qinglian and Zhuyue were resting, then looked down at the big poplar tree in the backyard of the laundry room.
Soon, a dark shadow slipped away from the big poplar tree.
Seeing that his figure was very similar to the man who had peeped at her last night, Huanghuang flew towards the back alley of Jintai Building at a very fast speed.
We must not let him get away this time!
Half an incense stick later, the man in black appeared in Huanghuang's sight. He entered a two-story house on the right side of the alley.
Huanghuang saw him enter a room and never appeared again.
[Master, Master, wake up quickly]
Xiao Xier was woken up and kicked Su Xingyi angrily.
Su Xingyi opened his eyes and stared at Xiao Xier.
Oops! Xiao Xier found out after all.
"Xiao Xi'er, listen to me."
"Daddy, listen to me." Xiao Xier quickly got out of bed. "Huanghuang has caught the bad guy. Let's go to the Purple Bamboo Forest."
"What?"
Seeing Su Xingyi still standing there in a daze, Xiao Xier grabbed Su Xingyi's big hand with both of her small hands and said, "Let's go now. Don't wake up Mommy."
"oh oh."
Su Xingyi was dissatisfied with Xiao Xier's short legs and couldn't run fast enough, so he picked up Xiao Xier with one hand and ran straight into the depths of the purple bamboo forest.
[Master, why did you bring your father here?]
"My dad was woken up by my kick, so I had to bring him here, and I didn't even have to hurt my legs!"
Su Xingyi lowered his eyes and saw Xiao Xier sitting on his arms, her short legs swinging.
"Xiao Xi'er, you don't have to use your legs, but Daddy does have to use his arms."
"Then Daddy, put me down quickly." Xiao Xier felt a little embarrassed.
"Did you see you had your shoes on?"
Xiao Xier rubbed her feet subconsciously. It seemed that she was not wearing shoes. Fortunately, she was wearing socks.
Su Xingyi moved her to his other arm and said, "Xiao Xi'er, quickly ask Huang Huang if someone bad attacked you."
[That villain is the one I lost track of last night. I didn't lose him this time. His residence is at the right end of the alley behind Jintai Tower. Tonight, he's sending secret signals to the spies in the First Prince's residence...]
"Is it just a secret message? Are you sure who it's for?"
[The other sound imitating the bird came from Qinglian and Zhuyue's room.]
Xiao Xier quickly relayed Huanghuang's words to Su Xingyi.
"It's Qinglian?!"
"Daddy, maybe it's Zhuyue?"
"It's not her. She has been ruled out as a suspect."
When it was daybreak, Xiao Lingyu opened her eyes, and the faces of the father and daughter came closer.
"Why are you up so early?"
Xiao Xier couldn't wait to say, "It was Qinglian who poisoned the eldest prince uncle."
"Really?" Xiao Lingyu was surprised. "Is it confirmed so quickly?"
"Yes, Xiaoyu. Huanghuang found out last night after staying up all night... The man imitated the sound of a cicada bird very well. Nie Jiu and his men, the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager didn't recognize it at all. Huanghuang didn't lose sight of the man in black last night. He went into a house on the right side of the alley behind Jintai Building."
"Then quickly inform Feng Jinyu, Qinglian will definitely find an opportunity to take action today."
"Mother, Father has already made arrangements and sent people to stake out that house. We're waiting for the person behind this to contact him, and then we can catch him in the act."
Xiao Lingyu: "The house in the alley behind Jintai Building is not something that ordinary people can afford. If you check the owner, you might find out who is behind the scenes."
"Okay, I'll ask the know-it-all Meng Chuan to find out."
At the same time, Feng Jinyu and Xie Wanyi were having breakfast in Xiaoyun Pavilion.
"Wanyi, is today's breakfast to your liking?" Feng Jinyu held her close, fearing that the food would cause morning sickness.
"Very good, Your Majesty. I've noticed that your appetite has improved over the past two days. Would you like to have an extra half bowl of porridge today?"
Feng Jinyu had actually finished eating, but seeing the expectation in her eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse and said "OK" softly.
Xie Wanyi quickly picked up the bowl and filled Feng Jinyu with half a bowl of fish porridge.
At this time, Mo Feng walked in, "Your Majesty, Princess, Prince Shun sent someone here with something urgent to tell you."
Feng Jinyu thought something was wrong. Could something have happened to Yu'er?
"Please come in."
When Nie Ying came in and saw that the couple had almost finished their breakfast, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, hoping that Qinglian hadn't made a move.
"What urgent matter does your prince have to tell me?"
Nie Ying: "This is a matter of great importance. I beg Your Majesty, Princess, to please dismiss the attendants."
Zi Yu and others quickly retreated, and Mo Feng also retreated outside the yard.
"Now you can tell me."
Nie Ying approached and whispered to the couple, "My prince has obtained relevant evidence. Qinglian is the one who poisoned..."
